I II ' ' ' *' ' ' ' SHORT ITEMS OF NEWS PICKED UP ABOUT TOWN The officers and perhaps other mem^ bers of the Fort Mill post, American f* IfLegion, are expecting to attend the smoker to be given Friday evening by m--*" Meech Stewart post at York. Lieut. James C. Dozier, who has recently been urged by friends from various sections of the State to make the race in the Democratic primary next summer for adjutant general, says he has decided not to enter politics this year. In a letter to a Fort Mill friend Hon. E. W. Pursley of King's Mountain township writes that the people of that section are more than pleased with the mohey they have recently spent for good roads from the proceeds of the ^nmnoKSn Ivsvnsi ? #* ?/! t*>?4 ?? w TV iiouip HA/IIU IOOUC VUVUU loot ^COI. "I very greatly fear that some of the reckless automobile drivers are coming to grief on the concrete road between the river and Rock Hill," said a Fort Mill man yesterday. "Most of the reckless driving apparently is done by boys and young men who seem not to realize the danger to which they subject themselves and others. Returning from Rock Hill in my car one day last week I had an experience in passing another car which I hope not to have again. The car was driven by a young man about 20 years old who was running fully 40 miles an hour when he passed me. Instead ? of swerving his car to the right a reasonable distance before we met he tried to run just as close as possible to my car without striking it. I am certain he did not miss my car six inches, thereby greatly endangering his own life and mine, as well as the lives of the others in the two cars." W. H. Howie, well known farmer and merchant of the Belair section of juancasier county, was in Fort Mill a day or two ago and was telling a party of friends of the succass he had last year with a patch of Abruzzi rye which he planted as a cover crop. "I had intended," Mr. Howie said, "to turn the rye under, but when the time came I could not get anyone to do the plowing and was forced to let the rye mature. 1 gathered about 75 bushels from the patch, which I sold for $2.75 per bushel, after advertising it in a farmers' paper. I received orders for many more bushels than 1 had and thn year I have put about 25 acres to the rye. If it does as well as it now nromiuM T ihnnlH nmUm. u.._ w . W..V??.X? gnvuct OCTCIUI I? 1411 dred bushels." Mr. Howie added that . ~ it was almost impossible to get farm t labor in the Belair neighborhood and for that reason he was discontinuing most of his farming operations. In the declamation and elocution contests of students of the Fort Mill high Bchool held in the town hall last Friday evening, the elocution contest was wor. by Miss Annie Parks and Charlton Gar rison was selected as the best debater, their respective subjects being "The Death of Uncle Tom" and "Retributive Justice." The judges were Prof. W. D. Maginnis, Miss Ritch and Prof. Brown, all of Rock Hill. The winners of the contests, besides being awarded a prize of $6 each, will have the honor of representing the school in the Catawba Oratorical Association contests at Chester Friday evening, six other high schools of thebtate also having selected representatives to enter the Catawba contests. Miss Anna Wolfe, Murray Paris, James T. Garrison, Arthur Young and Murphy Cook also spoke in the Fort Mill contests. "It is a singular thing," suid Prof. W. H. Ward a day or two ago, discussing the compulsory attendance law, ''that in this dav of advanced ment there are yet to be found every now and then parents who for one reason or another try to side step their duty and evade the law by refusing to send their children between the agesot eight and 14 years to school. Not long ago," Mr. Ward continued, "I saw two children playing in the street during school hourb and asked one of them how old he was. The little fellow replied that he was nine and said he was not attending school because his parents had not decided to make Fort Mill their permanent home. I then visited the boy's mother and she gave the same reason for not sending the children to school. The following morning both children came to school and both have since been regular in their atAny for Fort Mill ? According to the Rock Hill Record, Congressman Stevenson has sent to the chamber of commerce of that city a large supply of vegetable seed for distribution. It is understood. The Record says, that this is the last year free seed will be furnished by the Federal Coroner McManut Dead. James H. McManus, for the last six , years coroner of York county, died at j ' his home in Rock Hill last Tuesday, after suffering intensely for years. He was about 48 years old and was a kind hearted man who had many warm friends throughout the county. Prior Xf<i: tc moving to Rock Hill abojt eight, years ago, Mr. McM&nus made his home m Fort Mill for several years. He is H survive! by his wife and two daughters. | ' - ; ' .
