Mr. Bailes expects to be away
from Fort Mill about a w^ek.

The six year old daughter of.
' / T. N. Reeves, who lives in the;
upper section of the town, was
struck by a motor cycle Saturday !
afternoon and slightly injured
about the fare. The accident
occurred near the store of R. P. j
Harris. {
Farm work in this section has
again been retarded bv the rain
which fell Saturday night and
Sunday. This year there has
been less than the usual amount
of work done up to the first of
March in preparing the land for
the year's crops.
Dr. W.* H. Martin, who for
several months has been prescription
clerk at the Lytle Drug
? company, has bought an interest
in the business. Before enter
ing cne service as a lieutenant
in 1917, Dr. Martin for several
years conducted a drug store in
Rock Hill which he sold shortly
after the United States declared
war on Germany.
The new building in the rear
of the postolfice to be occupied
^ by The Times is nearing completion
and the paper hopes to be
established in its new home within
the next two weeks. The
, building is considerably larger
than the one now used by The
Times and is otherwise better
suited to the purposes of a newspaper.
Dr. J. L. Spratt has been
named guardian by the war department
for Rellia Jennings,
widow of Leonard Jennings, a
Fort Mill township negro who
was drafted into the service in
1917 and died three weeks after
entering the training camp at
Spartanburg. Jennings had his
life insured for $10,000, the first
payment on which, amounting to
about $1,400, was received by
Dr? Spratt a few days ago. The
monthly payments on the insurance
policy will amount to
about $80 and will run over a
period of 20.years.
The appearance of robins in
this section in their annual migration
from the south to the
north heralds the approach of
spring. These birds spend the
summer in Canada and the
Northern States of this country
{'? and when the cooler nights of
the fall set in take the long
flight to Central and South
America to spend the winter.
They are protected by the game
laws of South Carolina as nongame
birds and boys and others
who might wish to kill them are
warned that it is unlawful to do
so.
At a meeting last Thursday
evening of the local board of
health the quarantine which had
been in operation in Fort Mill for
two weeks on account of the
recent influenza epidemic was
declared at an end, beginning
last Friday morning, and that
evening the moving picture show
was opened. Sunday the usual
services were held at all the
churches in town and Monday
morning the sessions of the
graded school were resumed.
The town is not yet free of
influenza, but the board of health
does not now fear that the disease
will spread from the few ;
isolated cases left.
By Monday evening last more '
than the necessary majority of
freeholders of Fort Mill had
signed the petition addressed to
the town council asking for an '
election on ine proposed oona
issue of not in excess of $30,000
with which to improve the streets
of the town. The bill recently
introduced in the Legislature
providing for a street commission
for Fort Mill, composed of
Dr. J. L. Spratt. N. L. Carothers
and L. A. Harris, already
has passed both houses and the
governor is expected to sign it
before the end of the week. It
is understood that the commission
will submit the bond
proposition to the voters of the
town as soon after the bill becomes
law as the legal requirements
as to registration and the
necessary election notice can be
made.

Prof? Alexander R. Banks Dead.
Prof. Alexander R. Banks, of
Columbia, much loved educator,
died at Ridgeway at 7:45 Wednesday
morning, after an illness
of ten days and the body was
brought jto Fort Mill from Columbia
this morning and interred in
the town cemetery at 11 o'clock
following" funeral services conducted
by the Rev. J. B. Black
at the Presbyterian church.
Prof. Banks was in charge of
a school at Ridge way, but he was
known all over South Carolina
ah one of ,the best teachers of
bovs and young men the State
has ever had. * He was 73 years
old.
Prof. Banks was taken sick with
influenza about ten days ago. During
the past few days his condition materially
improved, and meifibers of his
family were hopeful for his early recovery.
However, he suffered with
heart trouble, and the end came suddenly
Wednesday morning.
A. R. Banks was a native of Chester
cohnty. attended the best schools of
the day, served a few months-in the
Confederate army at the close of the
War of Secession and graduated with
distinction from Davidson College in
1869. He had been a teacher continuously
ever since.
He conducted the Fort Mill Academy
from 1875 to 1888 when he organized
and conducted the Rock Hill graded
schools until 1891. Then he organized
the Presbyterian high school at Rock
Hill which had a large attendance.
He taught in York, Kershaw, Lancaster,
Anderson, Riehland and Fairfield
counties and was a noted preceptor
of hoys. He had been in good health
during his long and active life and although
he was advanced in years it was
hoped that he would survive the attack
of iufluenza, but there were other complications
which made his recovery impossible.
Prof. Banks was a master Mason, an
elder in the Presbyterian church, had
for many years been a trustee of Davidson
College, was a membor of tho
State board of education for 20 years,
and was a Sunday school teacher for
mare than 50 years. He married in
1875 Miss Sallie A. McMullin of Pleased
Ridge, Ala. The surviving chi'dren
are William Banks of Columbia,
Mrs. J. Allen Long of Abbeville an!
John M. Banks of Columbia. He was
a brother of Mrs. Hattie Mack of Fort
Mill, and was the son of Rev. William
Banks a nntAH .Proubvtorinn nroonbnr
who was ohce pastor of the l^ort Mill
church and whose grave is in the Fort
Mill cemetery, and Mary E. Harrington
Objects to Sunday Laws.
The idea of being unable to
secure soft driuks, cigarettes,
fruits, candies or other confections
in Fort Mill on Sundays
does not appeal to "Whacker"
Smith and he is thinking of
moving away from Fort Mill?
perhaps to Rock Hill. "WhackLAST
