- 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 .

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.

SHEET WORK PLANS
PUSHED BY COMMISSION
F. H. 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.
