MEETING MONDAY EVENING
FOR WATERW0RKS PLANT
Number Of Progressive Citezens Behind
Movement for Fort Mills Better
ment---Town Hall the Place.

A number of wide-awake
citizens of Fort Mill have put
their heads together with the
view of making a move which,
if successful, will put this town
in the class with the vigorous,
progressive Piedmont towns by
which it is surrounded.
These citizens have taken upon
themselves the responsibility of
calling a citizens meeting, to be
held in the town hall at 8 o'clock
Monday evening, for the purpose
of urging the necessity of a
waterworks systom for Fort
Mill, and it is the hope of those
who are behind the movement
that the meeting will be attended
by all the taxpayers and voters
of the town. There are those
who favor issuing bonds for
waterworks and others who are
opposed to the proposition, but
whatever the attitude of the
citizen it is the general desire to
hear the arguments of both
sides, so that an accurate esti-
mate of the sentiment of the
people may be formed and the
town council petitioned to order
an election submitting the bond
issue to the voters if majority
seem to favor waterworks.
The meeting is one in which
all should feel an interest. If
the ideas of those who favor
waterworks are adopted long
step will have been taken toward
making the town better place
in which to live or to engage in
business.

party primaries to qualified cleo
tors considered; but a delegate
who is in touch with the senti-
ment of the people was heard
to remark that not more than Is
per cent. of the citizens of York
county thought the State needed
a compulsory school attendance
law and that an even smaller
number would deprive any re-
spectacle white man who claimed
to be a Democrat of the right to
voice in the primaries.
One of the new members of
the county executive committee
is w. H. Windle, who represents
the Fort Mill club. Mr.. Windle
has wide acquaintance through
out the county and spent much
of the day shaking hands with
friends and, incidentally, speak
ing a good word for the Fort
Mill Times.
Quite number of prospective
candidates were mingling with
the delegates and others in
attendance on the convention.
When one is told by this or that
citizen that he is considering the
wishes of his friends that he
make the race for a certain
Office, the announcement of the
candidacy of the aforesaid
citizen may be expected in due
season. Upon this hypothesis
the people of York county need
not be surprised at the oppor-
tunity to vote next August for
ex-Representatives j. E. Beam
gard and Thos. F. Mellow for
the house of representatives.
There is also the probability of

of White. Both men lived a few
miles south of town and the kill

White claims that Tillman had
wronged his 15-year-old daughter
and that he had warned him to
stay away from her. "Wednesday
night the girl slipped out of her
home and went to another house
to meet Tlllman. White was
told of the meeting and went to
the house and shot Tillman. He
died almost instantly. An inquest
was held over the dead body by
Coroner Louthian Friday after

verdict charging White with the

Memorial Day Exercises.

The daughters of the Con-
federacy of the Florence Thorn
well chapter, u. d. c., are
making extensive preparations
for the observance of Memorial
day on Tuesday afternoon.
May 10, and the following pro-
gramme of the days exercises,
which will be held at the
Presbyterian church, has been
prepared:
Prayer, by the Rev. T. G. White;
singing; roll call; song, "Tenting on
the Old Campground, by school chill
dren; address, (speaker not yet select
ed); song, God Be With You Till We
Weet Again"
At the conclusion of these exercises
the following line of march will be taken
to the town cemetery: Fort Mill Light
Infantry; veterans of Fort Mill camp,
U. G. "; Sons of Veterans; Daughters
OF the Confederacy; children of the gra-
ded school.
At the cemetery there will be a roll
call of the soldier dead buried there,
decoration of the graves and a salute.
1t is the wish of the Daughters of the
Confederacy that all who attend the ex-
ercises bring a generous supply of flow
ers and that as a mark of respect to the
memory of the soldiers the business
houses close.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS
MEET AT BAPTIST CHURCH
Annual Session of York Convention
Interesting and Profitable Occasion
for All in Attendance.

The second annual convention
of the Baptist Sunday school
workers of York county was
held with the Fort Mill Bap-
tist church Tuesday and We'd
nesday. Most of the schools
of the county were represented
at the convention.
Mr.. A. E. Willis was elected
president and Rev. r. T. Marsh
secretary. Words of welcome
were spoken by the pastor, the
Rev. S. P. Hair, of the Fort Mill
Baptist church, and by pastors
Hafner and White of the Pres
byterian and Methodist churches.
respectively. Several visitors
were present who greatly en-
riched the sessions by their part
in the various discussions.
Rev. T. j. Watts, a leading
Sunday school specialist, made
several interesting addresses.
Rev. j. d. Moore, secretary of
Sunday schools for the Baptist
State convention, gave especially
helpful round table discussions
and addresses. He has been in
this work for several years and
is thoroughly conversant with
every phase of the Sunday school
problem.
Rev. j. X. Hair, of Walhalla.
was present and took part in. the
programme, discussing especially
class teaching. Rev. Louis j.
Ehrlich, a converted Jew, talked
very interestingly of his life and
the efficiency of the Jews in the
study of the Scriptures.
Most of the schools were re-
ported to be in a fiourishing con-
dition. Several schools reported
an attendance greatly in excess
of the church membership.
The First church of Rock Hill
has large and we'll organized

Convention Notes.

Rock Hill was represented at
the convention by less than half
the delegates who were elected
ten days ago. County Chairman
Wilson finally succeeded in Sc
curing a sufficient number of al
ternates, however, to give the
two clubs of that city about half
the representation to which they
were entitled.
Neither Senator w. H. Stewart
nor Representative j. Porter Hol-
lis attended the convention. Each
had been elected a delegate from
his respective club, but pressing
business engagements made it
impossible for either to be pres
ent.
A conspicuous figure at the
convention was j. Frank Ashe,
of McConnellsville. Mr.. Ashe
is one of the largest farmers of
hfs section of the county, but
always finds time to attend the
party conventions as a delegate
from his club.
Ex-Representative j. H. Saye,
of Hickory Grove, has served
longer on the county executive
committee than any other men,
ber, having represented his club
continuously on the committee
for the last 20 years. DR.. Saye
was reelected for the eleventh
time Monday.
There was considerable di-
vision of sentiment among the
delegates over the advisability
of introducing a proposed reso-
luton instructing the county
chairman to insert election
notices and other party adver-
tising only in the county papers
which claim to be Democratic.
The resolution was finally lost
sight of, but it seems to be the
general understanding that it is
a matter which should be left to
the decision of the chairman.
Nothing was said in the con.
vention about the proposed com
pulsory education law. Neither
was the effort which is being
made by certain newspapers tc
restrict the right to vote in the
Fort Mill times. [volume] (Fort Mill, S.C.) 1892-current, 1910-05-05
Colored Church Burned.

The first building to be de-
stroyed by fire in Fort Mill for
some time was st. James A. M. E..
church, which was burned to the
ground Saturday afternoon be-
tween 2 and 8 O'Clock. The
building was situated a short
distance below the passenger
depot and within a few yards of
the tracks of the Southern rail-
way. 1t is not known how the
fire originated, but the suppose
ton is that it was caused by
sparks from a passing locomotive
or by defective flue. 1t is said
that there was a fire in the stove
of the building Saturday morn
ing. Nothing could be done to
save the building, as there was
no available waiter supply in
the neighborhood, but volunteers
succeeded in saving the seats.
Several bulldogs nearby caught
fire from flying sparks and it
looked for a while as if the fire
might be serious, but in each
instance the blaze was quickly
eXtinguished. The destruction
of the church is a heavy blow to
the congregation. There was no
insurance on the building and
the loss is about 81, 900.

When the Earth Passes the Comet.

Many people are asking what
will happen when the earth
passes through the tail of Halley's
comet on the 18th of this month.
According to the best astronomi-
cal authority, there is no proba-
bility of dire consequences. Due
to the curvature of the tail, the
earth will not pass exactly
through the centre of it, but we
will sweep through the cometary
material at the rate of 40 miles
per second. The tail is formed
of particles so small in size and
with such large spaces between
them that there will probably be
little of an unusual nature to be-
hold. If the particles are
charged with electricity they
may cause display of northern
lights, a phenomenon which
usually requires a fine night, and
an absence from the lights of a
city.
