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 ??

"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. |
