Friends of Prof. W. Iff. Ward, superintendent

is recovering i^rom a severe
attack of pneumonia.
A considerable amount of local news
and a number of interesting items of
York county news are necessarily
omitted from The Times this week for
!! . ;? ??i nvauauit' opaci*.
Miss Blanche Moser has returned
from Atlanta. Ga., where she has been
confined in a hospital for several ,
months. Her friends will be pleased

proved.
The first quarterly conference of

held Sunday morning at St. John's |
church immediately following the sermon
at 11 o'clock by the Rev. J. R. T. ]
Major, presiding elderof the Rock llill

A small room is being added to the
rear of the Presbyterian church for the
accommodation of the pipe organ which
was bought some time ago for the use
of the church. The organ is expected
to reach Fort Mill within the next

after it arrives.

which place he will be engaged for several
months in superintending the cut
ting of a large tract of timber, estimated

Fort Mill Lumber company.
The Christmas season has been productive
of much social pleasure in the
i?onu mipunnq iihunnt
IIUIIIC UI IIIUIIJ |/x ?wxea.w ...
from their homes here during the
greater part of the year that Father
Time put behind him yesterday and
there have been a number of parties,
family gatherings and Christmas dinners.
Christmas exercises for the children
of the Methodist church were held Sunday
morning, December 21, at which i
package of candy and fruits was presented
to each child. The Sunday
school also presented the superintendent,
A. O. Jones, with a gold watch
and the secretary, M. J. Adcock, with
a fountain pen.
Work was resumed at the local cot
ton mills Monday morning following
tb?- suspension of operations for three
y41ays last week to afford the operatives
to eojoy the Christmas holidays. Many
of the operatives visited friends in
nearby community s while the milk
were closed down and others had th<
pleasure of entertaining friends in theii
homes.
Christmas dinner at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. A. O. Jones last Thursdaywas
interrupted by the discovery ol
fire burning briskly on the roof of the
dining room, thought to have caught
from a defective flue. Mr. and Mrs. i
untiii-tiiininir 11 niimhor of I
r. -- gentlemen
relatives at dinner and all
joined in extinguishing the blaze. A
considerable hole was burned in the
roof.
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Rogers were
greatly relieved recently to receive a
letter from their son, Angus, from
whom they had not heard for five years
and for whose safety they felt great
apprehension. Young Mr. Rogers enlisted
in the American navy about
eight years ago. In the letter to his
parents, written from Norfolk, Va., he
said that he had gone through the
World war safely aboard a submarim
and that he hoped to come home soon.
The citizenship of Fort Mill recently
has been enriched by the removal to
the town of Mr. C. C. Mcllwain from
his farm in the Marvin section of Union
county, North Carolina. Mr. Mcllwain
is a Confederat veteran, having
run away from his home in 1861 at
the age of 16 and enlisted in the
17th South Carolina regiment. H?
known many interesting stories of
the war and much of the activities of
the Ku Klux in this section and later on
The Times hopes to induce him to tell
some of his stories through these columns.
Mr. Mcllwain and his family
are living on Tom Hall street.
Fort Mill passed through the Christmas
season with a minimum of disorder?a
condition attributed by many
to the absence of liquor. Some years
ago when liquor was cheap and easily
obtained, hundreds of gullons were
shipped to Fort Mill for consumption
here during the Christmas holidays and
as a consequence there was much
quarreling, some fighting and considerable
loud swearing and other forms
of boisterous conduct on the streets
and in other public places in the town.

l.qunr has been outlawed by both the
State and National governments and
Y the people gem-rally seem to get more
I real pleasure out of tin- Christmas holif
days. One of the seemingly good
effects of the prohibition laws is that
nearly all the children are now well
clothed and provided with the confections
and innocent amusements so dear
to the childish heart during the Christinas
season.
Christines Tree Success.
Much credit is due S. A. Lee, superintendent
of the Baptist Sunday school,
an! his corps of teachers for the success
of the Christmas tree displayed in the
chirch at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of
Christmas day. The beauty of the
| tret? was increased by a background of
K home scenes at Christmas, extending
alrdoat entirely across the church. The
f hoifee was packed with an audience
v/hikh enjoyed the recitations by the
B children, the songs by the selected
^ choit and the pranks of Santa Claus.
Bag! of fruit, nuts, candy and raisins
wera distributed to the entire school
and m the visitors who remained for
that lart of the service.

Little klection Interest.
Very little interest has thus far been
manifested n the town election to be
held on January 13 and it is doubtful
whether more than a hundred votes
will be cast if the flection, many citizens
who otherwise are qualified to
vote and who doubtless would have
taken part in the election having failed
to secure the State registration\ certificates
necessary to enable them to
obtain town registration certificates.
The town registration books close Saturday
and up to this time less than
50 certificates have been issued by the
clerk. Besides a mayor and six aldermen
to be elected on January 13 to
serve the town for two years, three
school trustees and a member of the
Public Works Commission also are to be
chosen on that date. L. A. Harris,
a former mayor of the town, is the
only candidate thus far announced for
mayor. Mayor B. E. Patterson is
quoted as having stated Tuesday that!
he would not be a candidate for reelection.
Visits Old Home.
Col. William Mack of New York City
spent the holidays in Fort Mill at the
home of his mother, Mrs. Hattie B.
Mack. Colonel Mack is a distinguished
lawyer, ranking among the leaders of
the American bar.
He was reared in Fort Mill and the
friends of his youth and young manhood
have observed with gratification
his success as a lawyer. Although he
is used to doing things in a big way and
has spent many years in the larger cities
of the country. Colonel Muck says his
visits to Fort Mill and the opportunity
these visits afford him to mingle with
his old friends here are among the real
pleasures he gets out of life.
George A. Givens Dead.
George A. Givens. a well known
Confederate veteran, who lived in Fort
Miil for a long time, hut who had made
his home in Rock Hill in recent years,
died in that city last Thursday night
and the interment was at Laurelwood
cemetery Friday morning. Mr. Givens
was 75 years old and is survived by two
sons, James and Thomas Givens. He
was a kind hearted man who had many
friends in this section, all of whom will
regret to hear of his death.

The J. B.
Children Enjoy Event.
An interesting holiday event for the
little boys and girls of the Presbyteriar
Sunday school was the Christmas tree
given at the church last Friday afternoon
at 4 o'clock by the officers and
teachers of the Sunday school. The
tree was erected immediately in front
of the pulpit and was prettily decorated
with Christmas colors and lighted by
numerous candles. The exercises consisted
of Christmas carols, recitations
by a number of the younger Sunday
school pupils, the reading of an original
Christmas story by Mrs. Elizabeth
Belk and the presentation of a bag of
fruits, nuts and candies to each of the
little folk by Santa Claus, personated
for the occasion by Capt. James D.
Fulp, a former superintendent of the
Sunday school. An incident of the
exercises was the presentation of a
substantial gift in gold to Mrs. C. S.
Link, for years the faithful organist
of the church. The pastor of the
church, the Rev. J. B. Black, who was
expected to make a talk on the life
of Christ of peculiar interest to children,
was unable to be present on
account of illness.
For Mayor.
Friends of L. A. Harris hereby announce
him as a candidate for mayor
of Fort Mill, electi#n to be held January
13, 1920.
