The F
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
APPROVED BY CITIZENS
At the Bpecial election held in Fort
Mill last Friday to determine whether
the town should issue bonds in the sum
of $30,000 for street improvements 2fi
of the 70-odd Citizens qualified to take
part in the election voted lor the issue
while only two voted against it. This
amount the street commission, composed
of L. A. Harris, chairman, Dr.
J. L. Spratt and N. L. Carothers, is
assured by the State highway department
will be supplemented by $10,000'
from the State's apportionment of the
Federal road fund, giving- - the town in
all $40,000 with which to undertake the
improvement of the streets.
The commission hoped to put down
permanent paving oxer a stretch of a
mile and a half with the amount to be
derived from the bond issue and the
monev to come from the Federal
treasury* but recently the cost of
material for road work has increased
to such an extent that the commission
may find it impossible to do bo much
paving with this sum. Yesterday Mr.
Harris said his idea was to put down
first-class paving, paving that will
last, and if possible to eliminate at
least a part of the profits some contractors
are known to be making by
having ?he work done on another basis.
The commission is expected to hold
a meeting within the next few days,
although it is known that some time
will pass before the bonds can be sold
and the money the commission is
promised Bccured from the. Federal
government. The bonds are to run for
40 years and are to bear a rate of interest
not.exceeding 5 1-2 per cent.

' SUMTER WOMAN REJECTS
FUTURE PRESIDEffT^SUIT
Referring to the etory printed in The
Times last week about the ttoyhood
days of'Andrew Jackson iq- the W??haw
settlement on the line between
North Carolina and South Carohua,
Mr. C. C. Mcllwain of Fort Mill related
another interesting atory of a
president of the United 8Bates.
"Did yon know," aeked Mr.'Mcllwain,
"that Andrew Johnson, who
succeeded to the presidency upon the
death of Lincoln,' was once a resident
of South Carolina? Well, he was, and
an incident occurred in his life while
be was making his home in this 8tate
that may be worth telling. Johnson,
as all know, was a tailor. About the
time he reached his majority he moved
from llaleigh, N. C., to Sumter and
set up in business for himself. He
was a good looking, affable young man
with a bright mind and consequantly
made friends quickly in his new home
town. Among the number was an
especially attractive young woman, a
member of one of the community'?
highly esteemed families. She en-1
couraged the attention Johnson wished
to show her and in a short time their
friendship had developed to the point
which often leads to marriage; but
like a dutiful daughter the girl told
her parents of the feeling she and the
handsome young tailor had for each 1
other and sought an expression of
their wishes in the matter.
"Johnson's social status and his
occupation did not appeal to the girl's
parents, tout they hit upon a- better
I .plan of convincing her that he was undesirable
as a husband by tailing her
he was an ignoramus who could not
even read or write. The. thought of
becoming the wife of an illiterate man
Iivv aw ail BWUOkUTC Ul UIO girl, BV
she made up her mind to learn whether
her parents had been misinformed.
The next time Johnson called to see
her she discovered by a simple little
ruse that it was * indeed-true that he
could neither read nor write. The
fact so impressed the girt- that she did
not lose much time in telling him that
he need not press his suit further.
"Shortly afterward Johnson closed
his tailor shop in Sumter and returned
to Raleigh, where he found the future
Mrs. Johnson who taught him to read
and write after their marriage. And
behold!?a future president of the
United States.
"The career of Andrew Johnson is t
one- ofj the moat remarkable!: in the
history of the aountry. He-'waa a
strong man ?nd bad a wonderful
memory, otherwise he never could
have reached the highest office in the
gift of the American people. Johnson
was not popular in the South* because
he was a Union mam at the time the
Union was decidedly unpopular in this

of unusual mentality. - I have often
wondered in what esteem the Sumter
girl and her parents held their judgment
in rejecting the friendship of the
handsome-young tailor. v If he thought
of the incident at all in after years it
was perhaps to thank the good Lord
for leading his footsteps to the woman
who as his wife helped and encouraged
him as few women could have done."
Long Session for Sckool Board.
A prolonged session of the board of
trustees of the Port Hill graded schoQ
was held Monday evening at which
many matters looking to the welfare
of the school were considered. Besides
planning for the completion of the

erection of several class rooms and
other improvements to the buildings
the trustdtos took up the matter of

id promised under an? act of the General
Assembly passed at the session
this year is forthcoming, between
$3,000 and' $4,000 will be received by
the school from this source, which*will
enable the trustees to pay the minimum
salary of' $90 per month to the
teachers, and increase the corps to IT In
