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

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.
