Attorneys Come to Fort Mill an?l Take Testimony for Referee. An dclio of* the more or less noted Mills will case, arising in Union coun. y. N. C? wns heard In Fort Mill last Thursday when attorneys from Charlotte arid Monroe came here to take the testimony of C. C. Mcllwalne to be used In the*' reference ordered by a North Carolina court some time ago. Miss Maggie Ross Mills died at her home In the Marvin neighborhood of Union Qounty. about 12 miles from Fort Mill, last May. She was 80-odd years old and left an estate variously estimated to be warth from $100,000 to $160,000. In 1907 she made a will nnd In It nnmcrt two negroes, Bob Ross and Mltty Boil Houston, brother nnd slater, ua the principal legatees. Mft Mcllwetpe was one of the witnesses to the will nnd his testimony wns therefore considered Important. There are 98 people In North Carolina. most of whom are residents of Union county, contesting the wlH on the ground that Miss Mills was of unsound mind at the time it was drawn and therefore did not know whet she was doing when she left such a large pnrt of her estate to tho two negroes. These 98 people claim to ho related to Miss Boss In one degree nnd another. FORT MIIX 20 YEARS AGO. J (Fort Mill Times. Oct. 17. 1900.)

It ha? been truly said that at least three things are essential to a complete educational equipment. These necessary things are bricks, books 11 nd brains. A definition of "college,"' given years ago. was. "Mark Hopkins on one end of n log and a student on the other." Hero was brains and character moulding and Impressing brains and character without the mediation of "bricks." Contact between teqeher and pupil was the main thing. This contact. obtained, whether with "brickB" or without them, the desired end is""~ secured. Some few men have been educated without the use of the "log" or "bricks," and* with but a few "books." These few were used wisely and well, however, and their lessons thoroughly learned. Such men as Lincoln and Johnson, who could not vo to school, and here and there one like Washington Irving. thnt genius of early AVnerlcan literature, who nlso could not go, were self educated. If one has the alphabet he has the "key to all-knowledge." All may have this. Then whv should any remain uneducated? Rooks on all sub. rets may be secured at small cost. so that those who ha.ve education In "mour* ?o mnko n beginning may greatly widen the sphere r>t their knowledge along many lines, scientific, historical, literary and practical, Fort Mill was formerly looked upon ns a sort of literary center, a place to which students came from other sections to secure intellectual training. Perhaps the literary circle wns narrower then than It may he now, for the opportunity wns no doubt denied to many nt that time to whom the door of opportunity Is wide open now. Not only have nil the people the privilege of sending their children to S9I100I at this time, but for he snlce of the child and the State they are compelled to send them. The people of Fort Mill never had a better opportunity to educate their children than they have at this time. Fort Mill Is well equipped with j "bricks, books and brains." The new 1 building. just nbout completed, and I furnishing ns It does a numbey of 1 much needed class rooms and a com- j rnodious audl'orlum, ndds grently to 1 the supply of "bricks." nnd Is orna- | mental ns well as useful. There is a < great deal that might be done to en- | ha nee the beauty of the grounds, but t this can' be done only by complete ! and sympathetic cooperation be- | tween otllctnls and faculty, patrons and pupils. .Would It not be well to , observe "Community day" In the near future and give everybody a chance J to. show their love, for the school and their Interest In ' the eduoatlop of . their children In this practical way, ' which Is a fine brand of patriotism? To this equipment wo have well ar . ....p,..! uuuinrii 111 muiiy, {liuilliva IU g<ve harmonious development to all of the faculties of the pupils, and an ample supply of books for the teach- : Ing of these courses. So much for the "bricks" and the "hooks." These are necessary to the best and most successful work In matters of education. We also have. In an unusual ' degree, the third arid most Important ' element In the "trio," and that Is the "brains." The Fort Mill school Is fortunate In having a full, able, conscientious. well prepared and hard working faculty. But however able and conscentlous the teachers may be, and however earnest In their desire to benefit their pupils, their work will he largely nullified unless their efforts both in the matter of discipline and that of Instruction are re- 1 loforeed by naternal Influence and authority. We also have the "brains" to be developed and trained. Nearly five hundred bright, healthy children} What an opportunity we have to give incm tne proper training. What a j privilege 'they have In the facilities ' offered In the Port Mill school at present! I was in a country school some time ngo where the equipment is meager and the school ternrj only four months in a year. I">o the pupils in the Fort Mill school apprecl- j ate their opportunity? May they have a fuller appreciation of that opportunity than ever before and a keener sense of the obligation growing out of it. And may wc all, patrons. pupils, teachers and others work together for the upbuilding of our school and for the development of charabter strong and noble, in the children, for this is the true end of all education.
