Post Offices New Order.

The postoffice department has
issued an order affecting pub
fishers which is of particular
interest. 1t requires that when
second class mail matter includ-
ing newspapers, periodicals,
magazines, etc., are left in the
office unclaimed for any cause,
the postmaster shall send to the

weeks from the sending of the
notice, if the newspapers, etc.
are unclaimed the postmaster
shall attach to them label and
return to the publishers and col
lect postage at the rate of one
cent for each two ounces. If,
however, the publisher sends
stamps for the return of the mat
ter, postage will be accepted at
the rate of one cent for each
four ounces. This order makes
it of utmost Importance for the
postmasters to keep the publish
erS Informed of matter that is
not delivered, on account of re-
fusal or other reasons, and it also
places an obligation upon sub
scribers to leave at the postofice
in whose vicinity they live, notice
to Immediately inform the post
master of any change of address
so he, as well as the subscriber,
can notify the publisher and save
delay and expense.

Rev. DR.. Mack Returns to Fort Mill

The many friends and admirers
throughout this section of the
Rev. DR.. J. B. Mack will be
pleased to learn that he has de-
cided to return to Fort Mill to
live and has stated that he in
tends to spend the remainder of
his days here. DR.. Mack is re-
garded one of the ablest of the
many able ministers of the South
ern Presbyterian church and the
intimation that the people of this
section will have the opportuni-
ty of occasionally hearing him
preach will be received with in
tereSt.
Several years ago DR.. Mack
moved from Fort Mill to College
Place, Ga, where he has since
been the pastor of the Presbyte
rian church. To the regret of
his congregation, DR.. Mack re-
signed the pastorate at College
Place some time ago. Great
pressure was brought to bear on
III. Ahc,Ih " WllIlui dW IIlc EeSlS
nation. but his mind was made
up to return to Fort Mill. Dis
cusslng his return to Fort Mill,
DR.. Mack recently said:
Il have been preaching for
nearly 81 years and in that time
have received into the church
nearly 5000 converts. In Geor-
gia at this time, there are 23S
Presbyterian churches. | have
taken part in the formation and
organization of one-sixth of them.
| am now getting old, have some
land in Fort Mill or whith | can
make living and | intend spend
ing the remainder of my life
there. preaching at such times as
my health will permit. However,
| never intend to have another
regular charge permanently any
where"
DIR. and Mrs. Mack will occupy
their home on Confederate street
as soon as some repairs which are
under way are completed.

WHAT MILITARY PAY" BILL
WOULD MEAN FOR THE MALISH

Had Congress passed the mi
litia pay" bill, which went
through the house successfully
and which remained possibility
in the senate until the closing
hours of the session, there would
now in all probability be speeding
toward the Mexican frontier a
large portion of the National
Guard of the United States. In
fact after the session ended many
persons were not aware that Just
before it came to close the
measure that would have placed
every soldier within the country
practically under Federal control
had been smothered to death by
the senate committee on military
affairs.
Under the bill the enlisted men
were to receive $48 a year each
for attending a certain number
of drills and to receive, in ad-
dition, percentage of the regu-
lar army pay in time of war.
Likewise officers were to secure
pay for their time while not under
orders from the war department
and additional pay when at the
front.
Those who desired to see the
enactment of this measure point
ed to the fact that in some parts
of the country the National Guard
is in deplorable condition, total
ly unfit to render service to the
government if called upon, and
that if the State troops are to
continue TO be the benefciaries
of the government that they
should be required to show a
greater degree of efficiency and
military duty.
There is every reason to believe
that at the next session of Con-
gress possibly at the extra ses-
sion soon to begin another eff
fort will be made to get the
militia pay" bill through, and
it is not improbable that the
matter will end in success.

The News of McConnellsville.
ipondence Fort Mill Times.

correspondence Fort Mill Times.
McConnellsville, March Ia. We
were so pleasantly impressed
with a copy of The Times that
came a few days ago that we wish
to send a few items of interest
in our little town.
The most absorbing question
in this section now is that of
good roads. The chaingang has
reached McConnellsville, grading
the road. The people have re-
sponded literally and have sanded
the road as far as it is graded, so
that, now, we have most mag
nificent sand-and-clay road from
here to Yorkville "a fact that is
evident from the number of auto
mobiles to be seen passing from
Yorkville and other towns. The
new highway makes an ideal
track for machines and only a
short while ago an empty wagon
could scarcely be pulled over it
at this season of the year!
Since January the farmers have
made no progress on account of
the numerous showers of rain;
but as soon as the ground dries
everybody will be busy, as every
thing is ready for blowing. There
has been more fertilizer shipped
to this place than ever before
not on account of increased
acreage, but because of the in
tensive system of farming so
generally practiced here.
The creamery at Yorkville has
stirred up quite an interest in
dairying. A route has been es-
tablished from here and the
wagon goes regularly with cream
to the creamery. Several men
in this community are especially
interested, so much so that they
are building barns to house the
cattle from which they expect
to supply cream. The largest
barn that we have heard of yet
will have a capacity for 100 head
of cows, and is being built by
Mr.. j. T. Crawford. He has en-
gagged Mr.. Sherrer, of Gastonia,
to superintend his dairy.
Much interest is being mani
tested in the Sunday school at
Olivet church. The school has
recently been graded and much
good work is being done. A
Baraca and a Philathea class are
being organized. The school
hopes to be represented at the
State Sunday School convention,
at Spartanburg.

Former Fort Mill Citizens.

Two former Fort Mill citizens
whose numerous friends here
were pleased to note their pres
ence in town a few days ago were
Messrs. B. F. and Ben Powell,
father and son, respectively, of
Charlotte, who moved to the
North Carolina city from Fort
Mill about 80 years ago. A third
of a century ago the Messrs.
Powell were well known citizens
of Fort Mill. For several wears
following the Reconstruction era
Mr.. B. F. Powell was the local
magistrate and to him is given
much of the credit for reestab-
fishing order after the orgy of
scalawag and negro domination.
In those days Mr.. Ben Powell
was a militant young Democrat
who could always be depended
upon to help regulate the little
political and racial disturbances
that could be more satisfactorily
settled out of the courts. He
was a powerful man physically
and not infrequently his strong
right arm was used for the COM
munity's good. 1t is said that
on one occasion negro became
too familiar with Mr.. Powell by
placing his hand on the latter's
shoulder during a conversation
between the two and that the
only remonstrance from Mr..
Powell was a blow with his fist
which doubled the negro up in a
wad 25 feet away.

From Fort Mill TO Ell Paso.

Mr.. b. M. Lee, a well known
young citizen OF the township,
has arranged with Mr.. J. F. Lee
to attend to his farming interests
for the year and Tuesday morn
ing he and Mrs. Lee and their
little girl left for San Francisco.
After spending two weeks on
the Pacific coast, Mr.. Lee and
his family will go to FL Paso,
Tex, where Mr.. Lee has ac-
cepted a position with the FL Paso
q Southwestern railroad.

Gold Hill School Closes.

The 1910-'11 session of the
Gold Hill public school will close
Tuesday, the 2lst, after what the
patrons consider one of the most
successful sessions the school has
yet had. Under the direction of
Miss Esther Boyd. Of Cornwell,
principal. assisted by Miss Alma
Therrell. of Pleasant Valley, the
work of the school has progressed
smoothly and the 80-odd pupils
have shown marked improvement
in their classes. Invitations have
been extended Miss Hyde, in
structor of domestic science at
Winthrop college, and Prof. l.. A..
Niven, head of the agricultural
department at Winthrop, to be
present and deliver addresses at
the closing exercises of the school
and it is hoped that the invitation
will be accepted by both.

Ball Player Charged With Larceny,

Baseball enthusiasts who are
interested in the South Atlantic
league and who are acquainted
with the reputation of the play
ers will read with interest the
statement that j. c.. Bender.
former right fielder of the Char
lesion and Columbia teams, was
tried in the Charleston police
court Saturday morning on a
charge of stealing SIS from the
person of a Charleston man. Two
dollars was recovered when Ben
der was arrested. His case was
sent from the police court to a
magistrate. Bender is full
blooded Indian and three or four
years ago was considered one of
the crack players of the South
Atlantic league, but was debarred
from organized ball because of a
difficulty he had with Manager
VIM Clark of the Columbia team
in which Clark was seriously cut
with knife by the Indian. Ben
der is said to be a brother OF the
noted pitcher of the same name
of the Philadelphia Americans,
worlds champions.

Mrs. Mills House Warming.

On Friday afternoon Mrs. T. A.
Mills celebrated the event of
moving into her handsome new
home on Booth street by giving
a house warming to many of her
friends. During the afternoon
from 3 to 6 o'clock about SO ladies
called. The beautiful home was
bright with the first flowers of
spring and handsome pot plants.
Mrs. Effie Thompson, assisted by
Miss Marjorie Mills, received in
the hall, which glowed its well
come in red and green. Mrs.
Mills, in her gracious manner,
received her friends in the par
lor, which was fragrant with
yellow ionquils; and the dining
room pleased the sense of the
beautiful by the exquisite ar
rangement of violets. A de-
lightful luncheon was served by
Mrs. 7. S. Kirkpatrick, Mrs.
Fred Harris and Miss Minnie
Garrison. All spent a delightful
afternoon and went away wish
ing for their hostess peace and
JOY through all the changes of
the years.

Governor Blea.e to be in Charlotte

Friends of Governor Blease in
this section Of the State are
hoping that he will find it con-
venient to accept the invitation
which will be extended him to
visit Charlotte on the 10th of
May and participate in the eXer-
cises celebrating the adoption of
the Mecklenburg declaration of
independence. Governor Kitchin
of North Carolina will be on hand
and make speech and if Cover
nor Blease accepts the invitation
it is certain that large crowd
will be attracted to the city by
the presence of the two COVER
nors.

THROUGH FIRST NATIONAL DOOR
CUSTOMERS ARE NOW PASSING

After a delay of several days,
occasioned by the tagging in
transit of the plate glass win
dows for the front of the build
ing, the First National Bank
opened its doors for business
Thursday morning in its attract
i've new quarters, beautifully fur
nished throughout and conven-
iently arranged in detail. The
counting room in furnished in
mahogany and marble and the
walls are tinted with green,
lending pleasing contrast to the
whole. In the rear of the count
ing room are consultation offices
for the president, vice-president,
cashier and board of directors.
These rooms are simply but tasti-
ly furnished and the walls are
similar to those in the counting
room. One of the best steel
safes, which the manufacturers
claim is burglar-proof, has been
installed in the commodious
vault.
Many visitors have called to
inspect the quarters of the bank
since it opened Thursday and not
few emphasized the pleasing
impression the home of the bank
made upon them by opening ac-
counts. Indeed, the officers of
the new institution are more than
pleased with the amount of busi-
ness thus far handled and are
Sanguine that the accommodating
but conservative policy which
will be adhered to will merit the
public favor.
The first subscription to the
stock of the First National Bank
of Fort Mill was taken in less
than 80 days ago and since that
time the entire capital stock of
$25, 900 has been paid in, the new
building erected, handsome fix
lures installed and the bank
opened for business.
The officers of the First Ma
tional bank are: T. S. Kirkpat-
rick, president; Osmond Barber,
vice-president; T. B. Spratt, cash
ier; directors, T. S. Kirkpatrick,
w. B. Audrey, Osmond Barber,
L. A. Harris, 7. B. Spratt, Edgar

Cane Hay and Spanish Peanuts.

Editor Fort Mill Times:
AS the time is here for the
farmers to begin thinking about
what to raise for stock feed next
winter, and as | recently heard
number of them in Fort Mill
township speak of the trouble of
securing roughness, | trust you
will allow me space to tell what
we use for feed in Texas, with
the hope that some of my South
Carolina friends will try it: Sc
lect from two to six acres of fair
land and SOW to it amber cane
seed, from two to three bushels
per acre, as the land may re-
quire. If good land. put about
three bushels per acre and har-
row level for mower. Sow dur
ing cotton planting season and
the harvest will be fine hay for
horse or cattle feed. Of course
the farmer will have to be his
own judge of the land. If the
seeds are put in too thin, the
cane will grow too large. In this
country there are generally one
or two men in each neighbor-
hood with a mower and hay rake
who do the cutting for 81 25 or
81. so per day. They cut the cane
and let it sun about two days,
then go with rake and put it in
wind rows. Then the cane
should be put into good shocks
for one or two weeks, afterwards
being put away in the barn or
in hay ricks.
On my visit to the Fort Mill
section some months ago, found
only one or two farmers who
raised Spanish peanuts. These
peanuts are without doubt the
finest hog feed the farmer can
grow. but the hog must have
plenty of water while eating
them. Knowing that the farmers
around Fort Mill have more or
less land on which corn cannot
be grown proftably without fer
tilizers, advise that this land
be used for a peanut crop. Span
ish peanuts are easy to grow and
can be fed to horses and mules
as well as hogs. [ trust that
some of the farmers in Fort Mill
township will experiment with
amber cane seed and Spanish
peanuts this year.

WlFE'S SUIT AGAINST HUSBAND,
B. R. TILLMAN, JR., CONTINUED

By consent of counsel. amotion
was made before Judge Sease
in Leesville, Lexington county.
Saturday, to continue the case of
Mrs. Lucy Dugas Tillman against
her husband, 3. R. Tillman, Jr.
The case was instituted about
four months ago, upon an account
for money alleged to be due Mrs.
Tillman by her husband, the sum
sued for being upwards of $13.-
600. The case is now pending in
the court at Edgefield and would.
in the natural course of things,
have been tried at that place this
week.
The motion for continuance was
based on the physical inability of
Senator Tillman to attend court,
he being a witness for the de-
fense. A certificate from DR..
j. w. Babcock was submitted,
giving it as his opinion that it
would be unwise and detrimental
to the senator's health for him
to attend court at this time or to
be troubled with the matter. The
court ordered the case continued.
it being understood between coun-
sci that the condition of the sena-
tor was not to be used in the
future as a ground for continu-
ance.

Cannot Accept the Invitation.

Among the South Carolina mi
litia officers who were given the
opportunity to attend the army
manoeuvres along the Mexican
border was Capt T. B. Spratt of
the Fort Mill Light Infantry.
Saturday Capt. Spratt received
a telegram from Col. w. w.
Lewis, First regiment, asking if
he cared to be designated by the
war department as one of the
National Guard officers of the
State who will be sent to Texas.
Owing to the press of personal
business, Capt. Spratt was forced
to decline the invitation.
