W. B. Ardrey, postmaster of Fort
Mill,, has been confined to his home
since last Sunday as a result of stepping
on a rusty nail which penetrated
his foot about a half Inch.
Snow to a depth of about an Inch
fell over the upper section of South
Carolina late Tuesday afternoon.
None of It is now left, however, the
warm sunshine of Wednesday having
quickly melted it.
The York delegation in the General
Asembly has recommended to Governor
Cooper the appointment of
V James E. Kpps for membership on
>.. the Fort Mill township road commission
to take the place declined several
days ago by J. T. Garrison.

congregation.
F. E. Taylor and his family are this
week moving from Fort Mill to Charlotte,
where he has bought a meat
market and grocery on College street
to which he will devote his time. Mr.
Taylor came to Fort Mill from Waxhaw,
N. O., about three years ago
and had since conducted here a business
on Main street similar to-that
he will run in' Charlotte. He and his
family have numerous frends'in Fort
'Mill who will regret to learn that
they are leaving the town.
Dr. J. I,. Sprntt went to Columbia
Tuesday to confer with the
adjutant general's department relative
to the ritle range which the Tom
Hall Guards wish to locate on his
land hear Fort Mill. Differences between
Dr. Spratt and the department
\qh to the rental to be paid for the
use of the land are said to huve been
adjusted and it is expected that work
soon will l?o begun on the range. The
officers of the Tom Hall Guards arc
anxious to bring the company up t<?
the point of etflcienoy in marksmanship
maintained for many years by
the old Fort Mill Light Infantry.
The Kev. W. It. llauknight will

The late W. 12. Griffin, who died
as his home in Fort Mill on Tuesday
morning of lost week, is thought to
have been one of the most thorough
Bible students in this section of the
Stnto. According to a close friend
of Mr. Griffin's, he had read both the
Old and New Testaments 19 times.
"It had been Mr. Griffin's rule
for years," said this friend, "to read
daily a certain number of chapters i
of the Bible and he soddom allowed i
business or anything else to Interfere j
wits his reading. Mr. Griffin was a i
good ntnn. He made no display of ,
IIP* UI1KHIII, 11(11 III* WllB 11 CDIKSIMIUIU
member of the Methodist church
ind besides contributing liberally te
Its onuses n'.ro helped in a ilnuiiclal
way other churches of the community."
Unsuccessful efforts were yesterday
made by The Times in Columbia to
ascertain what disposition Governor
Cooper intends to make of the bill
passed by the General Assembly several
days ago extending the time with
light penalties for the payment of
State nnd county taxes until May 1.
Governor Cqoper was in Charleston
yesterday and inquiry at the executive
offices failed to elicit any information
as to his attitude toward the
bill. Should the governor veto the
hill, a determined effort will he made
to pass it over his veto. The >
statement is made that less than 50
per cent bf the property owners of
'Vort Mill township have paid their
."State and county ta*es for 1920 and
Is Js presumed that a similar condition
exists throughout the State.
The sum of $2,132.4 3 was distributed
Wednesday among the members
.of the Tom Hall Guards as compensation
tor attending the company drills
between September 16 and December
:31 of last year. The check for the
militiamen came through the adju'tant
general's department in Colum;hia
from the war department. Prl vatcs
received $1 euch for attending
drills, the non-commissioned officers
were paid a little more and the officers
receive a tixed salary for their
services. The Tom Hall Guards was
organized early last fall and although
the company is only a little more
than six months old, already it is
rnnl/o/1 l\V thn fwlilltllllt irnVlPV'fll n<4
one of the host In the State. All the
officers, most of the non-commissioned
ortlcers and n number of the privates
are overseas veterans of the
World war.
Thorc has been some discussion in
Fort Mill during the last ten days of
a proponed township road bond election
to l>e held within the next three
or four months and it is said that
the proposition has met with con?
slderuble favor. Under the township
road bond act passed by the legislature
a year or two ago. it was provided
that each township in the county
may isuo bonds upon an affirmative
vdte of a majority of the qualified
electors. Fort Mill township
property values would warrant
.u bond issue for road purposes a little
Jn excess of $75,000. There Is little
demand for bonds at present, however,
especially ut the rate of 5 1-2
per -cent the law allows on township ,
road bonds. Taking note of this fact
the York delegation in the Legisla- j
ture proposes to change the rate of I
interest tho townships may pay on
bond issues from tho present rate of |
5 1-2 per cent to 6 per cent in an effort
to ptlmulnto road building in the
.county, i

MAY WORK RIVER ROAD.
Delegation Rcoommcndn Transfer of
.Cltaingang to Fort Mill Townsldp.
If a resolution agreed upon yesterday
in. Columbia at a meeting of the,
York delegation in the General Assembly
has the desired efeet upon the
county supervisor and the county
commissioners the county chuingnng
will be brought to Fort Mill township
before the first of next July und put
to work on the public road between
the town and Catawba river. The
section of the road the delegation
wishes to have Improved by the chaingang
is a little less than two miles in
length and is at present in had condtion,
as it has been for'several
months.
The road is a part of the county
highway between Fort Mill and Rock
Hill and was built by the county
chalngang at the time the new river
bridge across the Catawba was opened
to the public in 1917. The road has
been given little attention and as a
consequence becomes almost impassable
in rainy weather. Recently a
number of motor trucks have become
stranded in the mud of the branch
bottoms near the river bridge and
the driv'ers were forced to abandon
them overnight. On several occasions
during the present winter automobiles
could not make the trip between Fort
Mill and Rock Hill on account of the
condition o| the road.
When the suggestion was made to
the legislative didegation at the meet
tng in uoiumma yesieruay inui sen>?.-thing
be done by the county to improve
the road, it was pointed out
that the road is a part of the county
highway system and that the Kort
Mill township commissioners could
not therefore be expected to keep it
In repair. Senator Hart, recognizing,
as he said, the validity of the clam of
Kort Will upon the county for improvement
of the road, suggested that
if nothing comes of the resolution of
the delegation urging the removal of
the chaingang to Kort Mill township
to put the road in good condition, it
will be up to the delegation at the session
of the GeneraJ Assembly next
year to take other steps to insure
proper maintenance of the road.

Editor Fort Mill Times:
I am inclosing a clipping from the
Philadelphia Record published in the
Charlotte Observer of February IS.
which 1 ask that you also publish in
Tho Times.
1 hityo this much' to say about it:
The United States senate has entirely
ignored the soldiers who saw service
in Franco for J50 a. month to make
our country safe, knowing at the
time that if it had not been for the
man-power furnished by Uncle Sam
that, wo might have been in the same
plight of some of the European
countries, and I think '.lie senate
should blush with shame.
As stated In the article from the
Philadelphia Record, the people who
worked in government plants were
paid tiic highest wages. and thorn is
not even . a kick from them. 1 would
consider them very unpatriotic if
there was. Ooncerlim those above
the workers, we have every reason to
believe they were well paid.
There is room for me to say a
Kreat deal moro, but the main thing
1 wanted to say was tlus: In case the
bonus for shipyard workers is put
through, every man who worked for
the government should .turn the
money he receives over to the men
who helped to make this country
safe?give it alf to the soldiers.
I was employed part of the time
Aurlng the war at Ponnaman, Va.,

armistice was signed I received anIgbur

any bonus I am going to give it to
the soldier boys of Fort Mill.
J. W. Johnston.
For,t Mill. Feb. 21.
The article from the Philadelphia
? Record to which Mr. Johnston refers
follows:
"The senate has voted a bonus of
$240 to each person employed during
the war In shipyards and arsenals.
>yhich will amount to at least
$17,000,000. These men were getting
the highest wages ever heard of In
this country. They were getting 92
cents an hour, because the country
was in desperate need of their work
and 4.000,000 men had been taken
from their homes and put Into the
army at $30 a month. Congress is in
grave doubt about giving $10 a
month for the period of their service
to the sojd^ers, but the senate votes
$10 a month for two years to the
men who were making money out of
the war."
MRS. MARY AN'XE MEACHAM.
Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom
has seen fit to take from us our
sister and fellow-worker, Mrs. Mary
Anno flicacham, who died December
19, 1920, a?cd eighty-two years nnd
eleven months, therefore be it
Resolved, first. That in the death
of Mrs. Meachani the Woman's Missionary
Union of the Fort Mill Raptist
Church has lost its oldest and
one of its most useful and consecrated
members: one whose counsel was
always earnestly sought and faithfully
followed; whose presence in the
meetings and whose spiritual leadership
was a benediction; and whose
interest in. prayers for and service
to the lost in all lands was an incentive
to greater interest and effort
on the part of^all our members;
Resolved, second. That the Fort
Mill Baptist Church has lost an exemplary
member, one ever devoted to
its principles; its?precepts and its
services; the Sunday school a regular
attendant, even in the last weeks
of her life, and a zealous pupil and
teacher; her children a devoted and
r.clf-sacrilicing mother, and her community
a friend and neighbor that
never failed them;
Resolved, third. That her homegoing
was a fulfillment of the Scripture,
"Thou shall come to thy grave
in full age, like a shock of grain
. onieth in its season:" nnd that, for
her. "To depart and be with Christ
is very far better;"
Resolved, fourth. That these resolutions
be spread on a page of our
minute book inscribed to her memory.
and that a copy be sent to each
of the children of our sister, nnd a
copy to the Fort Mi,ll Times and The
Baptist Courier for publication.
