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.
