Fort Mill Times: The booze" drink
ers of the town were greatly surprised
and disappointed Saturday morning by
the appearance in town Of State Con-
stables Thomasson and Scoggins. AS
is usual on Saturdays, the train from
Charlotte was loaded with supply OF
whisky for this point. Scarcely had
the packages been placed In the ex-
press Office until the constables took
them in charge, instructing the agent
to hold same. Many were the sighs
that were heard as the owners called at
the office and were informed that their
goods had been seized. The whisky,
about 35 gallons, was shipped to COL
umbia Monday.
Fort Mill-Genchers.
Fort Mill Times: At the recent meet
'ing Of the board of trustees Of the Fort
Mill graded school, Prof. ]. A. Tate, OF
Yorkville, was elected principal or the
school for the session Of 1923, with
Miss Jennie Hamilton. Of Union, and
Miss Mamie Thornwell, Of Fort Mill,
assistants. Professor Tate is known
to Fort Mill people both as an educator
of note and. a prominent man through
out the entire county, the latter fact
being proven by his excellent race for
office in the last primary election. Prof.
Fate has taught the high school OF
Glover during the past three years.
Miss Hamilton, who is to teach the In
termediate class, has had four years
experience in the graded schools OF I'm
ion and Is recommended by the county
superintendent Of education, the princi-
pal Of the Union schools and several
prominent men Of that town. She was
unanimously elected for another ses-
sion at Union, but declined In order to
accept the position rendered her from
this place. The opinion Is unanimous
that the trustees could not have made
a better selection than that Of Miss.
Mamie Thornwell as teacher for the
primary department.
Railroad News.
Editor Hull, Of the Rock Hill Her
aid, who went to Cleveland Springs a
few days ago in company with MIR. A.
H. Greene, wrote his paper under date
Of June 2, as follows: Ten days ago The
Herald stated that the Southern rail-
way would take possession Of the S.
c. & Ga. Extension road the LIST OF
July. The stockholders of the s. G. &
Ga. Extension road will meet In Blacks
burg, June II, to confirm the sale, and
I am informed by what may be accept
ed as good authority that the s. c. &
G. Extension will pass into the hands
Of its new owners-or rather, that the
company that has really owned 1t for
two years-will take possession on the
date above mentioned. There Is no GER
tainty yet as to what will become OF
the 8. C.. & Ga. Extension officials. 1t
Is surmised that this will depend large
Iy upon the division in which the road
may be placed. There are those who
think that the s. c. & Ga. Extension,
with its extensions from kingsville to
Sumter, may be constituted division
within itself, and in that event 1t Is
thought to be altogether likely that the
popular officials Of the s. G. & Ga. Ex-
tension road may be retained. With
the people along the line that is con-
summation devoutly to be wished. In
Tie Marion News Of last week it was
stated that the Southern had bought
the o. r. & c. road now being graded
py the Seaboard Air Line from Johnson
City, Tenn, with Lincolnton, N. c., as
the objective point. The News claims
TO have gotten its information from
gentleman in Charlotte, who recently
attended a stockholders meeting in
New York; but it is believed In rail-
road circles that the Marion paper has
confused the road now being graded
with the old o. r. & c., now the 5. Z.
& Ga. Extension road.
