' SHORT ITEMS OF NEWS PICKED UP ABOUT TOWN \ An enjoyable concert, attended by about 200 people, was given under the auspices of Fort Mill pout, American Legion, in the town hall Tuesday even/ ing by the Davidson College band. The spring term of the Gold Hill school will close Friday evening, April 30. Lester Therrell has been the principal of the school for some time with Miss Marie Epps assistant teacher. William D. Rod gem is now at his home in Fort Mill after completing a term of enlistment in the regular army of the United States. Recently Mr. Rodgers has been stationed at Camp Jackson, Columbia, but the outfit to which he belonged saw much hard service overseas. "One of the pressing needs of this town," observed a Fort Mill citixen yesterday, "is a brick plant. There is a big demand for brick throughout the country and profitable sales are easily made. There is plenty of clay hers for brick-making and I hope some of the town's progressive citizens will start such an enterprise." * ? The average assessed valuation of automobiles for taxation in the various townships of York county, exclusive of Fort Mill township, is $192, and for Fort Mill township $202, according to a statement of L. A. Harris, member of the board of assessors for Fort Mill, who was in York a few days ago and read the figures for the entire county at the auditor's office. The movement for the erection of a new Methodist church for the congregation of St. John's is expected to receive considerable impetus as the result of a conference the church officers will hold this week wi h the architect who has submitted tentative plans ot the new building. The Rev. W. R. Bauknight, pastor of St. John's, says that as soon as the plans are approved committees will be appointed from the congregation to solicit building funds and that he is confident the erection of the new edifice will be under way in the next two or three months. Housewives and their husbands, who in most cases furnish the go-out-andgit-it-with-which-to-fetch-it, doubtless will sigh for a return of the good old days when they learn that in an advertisement printed in The Times on Wednesday, July 23, 1902, L. A. Harris, "Manager for the Company Store," announced an offer for lawns, piques, percales and duck, that were 6 to 12 cents, now 4 to 9 cents." Goous ' similar to those offered by Mr. Karris 17 years ago now sell for about 40 cents per yard. Hope was revived a day or two ago that arrangements may yet be made by the South Caiolina railroad commission for the accommodation of the traveling public to and from Fort Mill on passenger train No. 32, northbound, due here at 6:45 p. m. Chairman Shealy of the ! commission has just written the following letter to Fort Mill citizens relative to the matter: "The commission is still handling the proposition of Southern I railway train No. 32 stopping at Fort Mill. Mr. McGee, division passenger agent, stated to the commission yesterday that he would have a reply in a very short while. The comnrission is doing its best to bring results for Fort Mill " One of the hardest rains that has fallen in this section in years was thatj of Monday evening between 8 and 8.30 o'clock. The streets of the town Were flooded, the roofs of many residences and business houses leaked for the first time and, out in the country Borne damage was done farm lands by . the Heavy downpour. The rain came down as if from a cloudburst and was accompanied by considerable wind, hail and lightning. For a few minutes during the storm the power supplied the town by the Southern Utilities company failed, leaving the streets, homes and business houses in darkness, except in the cases where coal oil lamps or tallow candles were at hand for house lighting. The rain of Monday evening also had the effect of further delaying farm work in this section, adding to the general apprehension that the weather conditions which have obtained for the last two months, added to the general labor shortage, will make it impossible for most farmers to put in a full crop this year.
