nn"1 " ITEMS OF LOCAL IHTEIEST. W. B. Ardrey was confined to his home during several days of the past week by illness. Miss Lucy Fish has returned from a visit of several weeks to relatives and friends in Pawtucket, R. 1., and Boston, Muss. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Ardrey were called to Florence Saturday by the sudden death of the letter's father, A. B. Lawrence, on that day. The Rev. J. B. Black, pastor of the Fort Mill Presbyterian church, moved during the last week into the beautiful manee which has just been completed. A. R.. McElhaney, formerly a merchant of Fort Mill and for two terms mayor of the town, now a resident of Kershaw, was a visitor in Fort Mill last Saturday. B. E. Patterson, former mayor of Fort Mill, has written a friend here saying that he has located in Newport News, Va., as manager of the transportation department of the Retail Merchants' association of that city and is well pleased with the work he has undertaken. A break Sunday night in the power line between Fort Mill and the plant of the Southern Power Company, on the Catawba river three miles from town, had the effect of closing down both cotton mills in Fort Mill all day Monday. The break was repaired late Monday afternoon and the mills resumed operations Tuesday morning. There has been a marked decrease in the price of eggs on the Fort Mill market in the last few weeks, the price tumbling from 65 cents to 40 cents per dozen. The grocery stores and markets are now receiving many eggs from the country and in some instances are overstocked. There also has been a slight decrease recently in the price of butter in Fort Mill, some merchants now offering it to their customers for 60 cents per pound. "Fort Mill iB one of the liveet towns its size in either of the Carolinas," yesterday remarked a traveling man whose engagements take him to all sections of both States. "When I first began coming here 20-odd years ago the town apparently was finished," continued the visitor, "but in the last three or four years 1 have noted a decided change in the business atmosphere of the place. Now everybody apparently is busy, there are always customers in the stores and other business places with wants to be filled and I am glad to observe the general air of prosperity in the town." Briee D. Gulp spent a day or two the first of the week at his home in Fort Mill. Mr. Culp is now a cotton mill machinery salesman for a Boston con- | cern and his territory embraces several Southern States. He says the average inan would be surprised to know of the activity in cotton manufacturing in this section of the country; scores ol new nulls are being buMt, while hundreds of olhor are being enlarged, some to three or four tunes iheir j res eot capacity. The manufacturers 01 cotton mill machinery uro consequently mouths behind with their orders and there 'is no telling, Mr. Culp says, w hen they will be ublo to catch up. Having tired of Caring for her demented husband utiu iKU'haps not knowing how to pioceed to have the man com mi tied to the insane asyium. the wife of a negro, apparently 46 years old unci of unsound iniiul, brought bin to i?'ort Mill froui Charlotte on train No. 27 Monday af lei noon slid alter accompanying him to u negro settlement in l''ort> Mill left the inun there and returned to Charlotte an hour and a hull' later. The tiin.11 became violently insane Monday n:ght and the negroes of the settlement called upon Otticer Wagstall' to relieve Unm ui his presence. The man was taken to the police station and the Charlotte r.uthorities notified to inake arrangements to Lake him otf the town's tuuids. Noting the item published in The i nnes a lew days ago saying that thte 1 Federal government hud many cannon | and other guns captured from the Germans in the World war which would be distributed to various municipalities throughout the countiy, Mr. W. B. | Meacham recalled that the two large ' cannon mounted in Confederate park I in Fort Mill several years ago also were secured from the authorities in i Washington. "These cannon were 1 loaned to the town through the instrumentality of Senator H. R. Tillman, ncling upon the request of Col. Leroy Springs," Mr. Meacham said. "They were sent here shortly after the close of the Spanish-American wur and there is a popular belief that they were captured front the Spaniards in Cuba. This iB incorrect. The cannon were of an obsolete pattern and I am under! the impression they Jiad been mounted somewhere on the coast. Capt. S. E. j White was equally interested with (k>l. Springs in securing the cannon for the park and when they reached Fort Mill there was a bill of something like $200 to be paid on them for transportation charges. Capt. White paid the bill and also weut to the additional expense of having the cannon hauled to the park and mounted," concluded Mr. Meacham. *' HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HOLD ANNUAL CONTESTS The annual declamation and elocution contests of the Fort Mill high school will be held in the town hall Friday evening, beginning at 8 o'clock. The purpose of the contest is to select a young man and a young woman to represent the school in the Catawba oratorical and elocution contests to be held in Chester April 6. Five young men, Murphy Cook, J. T. Garrison, Murray Faris, Arthur Young and Charlton Garrison, will compete for the honor of representing the school in the oratorical contest, while Misses Anna Wolfe and Annie Parks are to oppose each other for the elocution contest honors. Five dollars in gold will, in addition, be awarded the winners. A small admission fee will be charged to hear the contests, the proceeds to be used to meet the expenses of the winners to Chester and to help send the scnooi 8 iracK team to tne atnietic meet, alBO to be held in Chester, on April 10. It is hoped that a large audience will be preserit to encourage the contestants in their worthy ambition to represent the school in the larger contest. Miss Corrnelia Harris Married. Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Harris have issued cards announcing the marriage of their eldest daughter, Cornelia, to Elwyn L. Case of Patchogue, N, Y., the ceremony being performed in Charlotte on March II by the Rev. W. B. Lindsay, pastor of the First A. R. P. church. Mr. and Mrs. Case were accom- | panied to Charlotte for the ceremony by Miss Alice Harris, sister of the bride, and Henry Harvey of Westerly, R. .1., who was associated in bnsiness in Fort Mill for several months last year with Mr. Case. Mrs. Case is popular with a wide circle of friends who will regret to learn that her marriage will take her away from Fort Mill, she and Mr. Case AYnfU'tinCT tn mulro ~ , ? ..ww.c uiuiniKf port. Conn. v News Gathered Around Town. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Erwin of Charlotte were gueHts last Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Grier. The Rev. W. R.

H Windlc >-f Fort Mill town hip, at the same tim-- Mr. | Windie s >ys the York commissioners acted in good faith all the. way through the negotiations and that they Could not have done more in the interest of the bridge without going outside the law. Mr. Windlc attended at least one meeting in Columbia at which the bridge ptojiositiun was submitted to the Yoik liKislative delegation by friends of the enterprise Jr..m both counties and he is certain that nothing was said in the meeting to indicate that if approaches to the bridge were necessary that this would affect the proposed arrangement to finance the cost of construction of the completed bridge?twothirds of which was to be borne by Mecklenburg and the remaining third by York. Mr. Windle is now fearful that the bridge will not soon be built, as he thinks it will be impossible for the two connties to reach an understanding in the face of the attitude of the Mecklenburg authorities.
