Mail Sack Disappears.
A search heurun several weeks
ago by secret service men of the
postoffice department has thus
far failed to find a mail sack
containing securities to the value
of about $60,000 which disappeared
after leaving York December
27. While it is believed
that the prompt steps taken by
the owners of the papers, some
of which were negotiable, will
protect them from loss in case
the papers are not found or.in
the event an attempt is made to
use them fraudulently, considerable
annoyance and some
anxiety has been caused by their
disappearance. The greater part
of the papers were the property
of J, Ross Cannon, prominent
man man. and consisted of stock
certificates in several companies.
? ill jf ^ u'
GreeoyHWjrf<wy Qm&8 ago. Mr.
I >as Ane of the most populu
ministers who ever lived in thU
community.
The Dillon lierald has the
L following to say of the death oi
Mr. Curtis:
"News of the death of the
Rev. F. O. S. Curtis was re
ceived in Dillon Tuesday with
profound sorrow. The end came
at the residence of his son-in-law,
H. S. Blizzard, in Greenville
Monday night. Several years
ago while serving as pastor of
the Walterboro Baptist church
Mr. Curtis was stricken with
paralysis. His health failed and
, he had to give ug) his work. He
moved to Greenville where he
resided with Mr. and Mrs. Blizzard
until the end came, following
a second stroke Monday
night.
"Mr. Curtis had many friends
in Dillon. As pastor of the
Baptist church he greatly endeared
himself to the people of
the community during his four
years' residence here. He was
an able preacher, a congenial
companion and a man of strong
convictions. He mingled freely
with both old and young and no
man perhaps ever lived in Dillon
who was more universally esteemed
or who exercised a
stronger influence over the young
men of the community.
"Mr. Curtis was one of Lee's
and Jackson's most devoted followers
during the four years of
civil strife. He left the pulpit
to take up arms in defense of
his country, and later was made
a regimental chaplain. At the
close of the. war he returned to
his native State and quietly resumed
his work of spreading the
gospel among mankind. Not
only was he a brave and courageous
gentleman, but* he exemplified
in his daily life those
things that make for the best in
the spiritual and moral uplift of
man. In his passing it can truly
be said that a man who lived as
a man among men has gone to
his reward.
"Mr. Curtis is survived by his
widow and the following children:
Miss Rosa Lee Curtis and
Harry Curtis of Charleston, and
Mrs. H. S. Blizzard of Greenville.
The funeral services were
neld at Walterboro."
N. Atwater, formerly a
merchant of Fort Mill, now of
Fayetteville, N. C., visited
friends here during the last
week.

i came to Port Mill from Elizabeth
' City, N. C., about nine months
ago to accept the pastorate oi
t the Presbyterian church.
Recently there has been added
to the Presbyterian church a
small room for the accommodation
ofpipe organ and the
congregation also has erected at
a cost of about $11,000 a manse
for the pastor which is now
nearing completion.
The Fort Mill Presbyterian
church is one of the oldest
churches of the denomination hi
. in this section of the State,
having been organized about
140 years ago as Unity church.
The original church building was
constructed of logs and occupied
a site a few feet in front of the
gate to the old cemetery, about
a half mile in the rear of the
present church. In the old
cemetery a number of soldiers
of the Revolution are buried and
up to a few years ago the cemetery
was taken care of by the
Fort Mill chapter, D. A. R.
Many Cases of Influenza.
Fort Mill is again in the grip
of influenza. Recently many
cases of the disease have been
reported in the town, but so far
no deaths have been reported
from it, the malady apparently
being in mild form. There has
ueen no quarantine against tne
disease, the public school and
churches continuing as usual.
The authorities are urging that
the people take good care of
themselves and no serious outbreak
is anticipated, if these
instructions are carried out.
Smallpox in Gaffnev.
There are a large number of
cases of smallpox in Gaffneyand
tne disease is said to be on the
increase. The disease seems to
be confined almost exclusively
to the mill villages, and all
children as well as many others
are being vaccinated. It is said
that a strict quarantine is being
maintained, but in spite of this
precaution the disease is spreading.
Three representatives of
the State board of health were
in- Gaffney a day or two ago
trying to halt the spread of the
disease.
