J. J. Bailes expects to begin soon the erection in Rock Hill of two residences on lots he bought some months ago near Winthrop college.

Miss Carrie Spencer of Rock Hill has accepted the position of teacher of the fifth grade in the Fort Mil! public school and began her new duties Monday morn inc. The school authorities are said to have had considerable | trouble in securing a permanent teacher for this grade daring the present session and changes have been frequent. Decided improvements have been . made to the grounds of the Presbyterian , church during the last ten days. The | work was done largely under the ( direction of members of the church living near lo vn who brought their , teams and laborers from the country , and did considerable grading on the , grounds. Particular attention was paid , to beautifying the grounds immediately surrounding the new manse which the church has had erected during the last few months and which is considered by many the most attractive residence in town. H. E. White of Gastonia N. C., spent lust Sunday at his old home near Fort Mill. Mr. White is now in charge of the Gastonia office of C. C.

Until recently he was for many years connected with the supervising architect's office of the United States treaaurv d... I . partinent and while in the federal ser- , vice had charge of the construction of ] a number of postoflficc buildings in im- , portant Southern cities. Mr. White's , last service with the government was in connection with the construction of the postoflico building in Columbia. - Usually at this season of the year , peach trees are full blown in this sec- ( tion, but the backwardness of the spring has prevented the buds from , bursting up to this time?which is held by old residents to be an augury of ( a good crop, as later on when the ( trees put forth all danger of killing ( frosts will have passed. It is stated . in this connection that many nurseries , in the South shipped great quantities of peach and other fruit trees to this section last fall and if all goos well the fruit crop hereabouts promises > to be larger in the next few years than ever before. , Although America has not been at . war with Turkey and this country has i no part in the European negotiations < regarding the Near East, the United * States will make a strong effort to have the Turk driven out of Europe. . The United States government feels , that the interests of international ( civilisation require that Ottoman pow- f er be driven forever from Constantinople. This includes the expulsion of t the sultan from the Bosphorus. * NEW CHURCH EDIFICE PLANNED FOR ST. JOHN'S Unlets the plans of the congregation of St, John's Methodist church miscarry, there will stand on the site of the present frame church building on Hall street in Fort Mill within the next year a beautiful brick church edifice which will be. the pride of the congregation and an ornament to the town. Recently tentative drawings of the proposed new building* to cost about 136,000, have been received from the architect who is preparing the plans and specifications and these are now in possession of one of the officers of the church. It is the purpose of the congregation to erect a building considerably larger than the one now in use to care for the growing congregation for several years ahd to make the building modern in every respect. The tentative plans call for a number of class rooms, pastor's study and other smaller rooms on the floor with the auditorium, designed to semt obout 600 people, with arched ceiling and ample lighting facilites and ventilation. A dais immediately in front of the pulpit will be used by the choir. Provision is made for the installation later on of a choir loft and the choir would then be tran fei red. The plans also call for a commodious basement, eontalning the heating plant, additional class r.ioms, lavatories and a well appointed kitchen, an adjunct provided in recent years in many modern church buildings. The front of the building will have an especially attractive appearance, with a row of gothic columa extending across the facade and reaching to the ceiling, somewhat lower than the ceiling of the auditorium. The Rev. W. R. Bauknight, pastor of St. John's, is enthusiastic over the prospects for the new building and is confldent his congregation will respond with liberal contributions when the canvassing committees begin their rounds for subscriptions. There is the best of feeling between all the churches of Port Mill and it is expected that numerous gifts to the building fund will be made by members of other denominations. Mr. Bouknight is serving his second year as pastor of St. Jotn's, during'which the membership of the church has grown rapidly, now being considerably above 300. Legion Post to Meet Members of the Fort Mill post. American I.egion, expect a busy session at the regular monthly meeting of the post in the town^hall Friday evening at eight o'clock. Among other matters of interest to come op at the meeting, plans will be laid for an intensive campaign to induce every former service man in the?community to become a member of the;?post. The adjutunt of the camp, Arthur C. l.ytle, will present to each member of the port present at the meeting a French souvenir in the shape of a pamphlet telling of the principal engagements in which American forces took part in the World war, the pamphlet beingdedicated "To the Homewardbound Americans."

Murray, assistant State highway engineer, came to Fort Mill from Columbia Tuesday afternoon and for some time was in conference with the street commission of Fort Mifr relative to the improvements which the commission, in conjunction with the town council, hopes soon to have made on the streets of the town with ,the proceeds of the proposed bond issue of 930,000, supplemented by federal funds. After inspecting the prineipal streets of the town, Mr. Murray gave it as his opinion that the $40,000 which the commission hopes to have in hand soon would assure a smaller number of square yards of permanent paving than the commission had in mind to have put down, but added that it was not improbable that additional federal aid could be secured for the project after the new federal appropriation for road projects becomes available subsequent to July 1, next. ^ Meanwhile the street commission is receiving many inquiries from contracting firms anxious to bid on the street work. It is. said to be not improbable, however, that the commission will buy the paving material and with the assistance of expert engineers have the work done under the supervision of Mr. L. A. Harris, chairman of the commission, whose good work in connection with the paving of the improved sidewalks of the town some years ago while he was raavnr is evi dence of his ability to superintend acceptably the larger undertaking now proposed. Following a conference in Laurens between Governor Cooper and Solicitor Blackwell, it was stated that a special term of court will be held at Abbeville, Monday, April 5, for the purpose of trying Kenneth Gossett and Jonn Gossett, the two young men who are charged with criminully assaulting two young women near Abbeville about ten days ago.
