Decidedly the most interesting event
staged recently in the world of Fist
lana, to make use Of an expression that
we sometimes see on the sporting page
of some Of the daily newspapers, oc-
Cured today when Mr.. Eli D. Wilks,
of the Wilksburg neighborhood, resist
ed arrest when Constable Rob Wilks
notified him that he had a warrant for
his arrest Before the words were more
than out Of the constable's mouth, Mr..
z. d. Wilks cut loose with his attack,
and Just like the pitcher who is said
to put everything he has on the ball
proceeded on the same principle. A
lively skirmish, or rather two OF them,
had to be gone through with before Mr..
Wilks could be locked up. We under
stand that Mr. Wilks took exception to
two boys-Estes and McCallum by
name-hunting about, and in shooting
at their dog sprinkled one of the boys
lightly with shot, whereupon war
rant was sworn out, and Mr.. Wilks, the
constable, upon seeing Mr.. E. D. Wilks
on the street here today, casually re-
marked that he had such a warrant,
whereupon the >fraeas started. ,.ea &, .

Fort Mill Times, Dec. IS: Following
an illness of several months, James e.
Steadman died at his home in Fort
Mil last Wednesday. Mr. Steadman
had lived in Fort Mill for many years
and had many friends in the COM
munity who greatly regretted to hear
of his death. He is survived by his
widow and a number of sons and
daughters.-.As special meeting or
the board of trustees Of the Fort Mil
graded school was held, last night at
which a number of matters affecting
the interest of the school were con-
sidered. The resignation of Miss
Caroline Carothers, high school teach
er, was accepted. A successor to MISS
&. - J. n1n a
OF the board few days hence. Three
members of the board Of trustees are
to be elected by popular vote on Janu-
ary 10. The board decided that the
Christmas holidays for the school will
begin on December q and close on
January 2........The Rev. j. w. h
Dyches, pastor Of the Fort Mill Baptist
church, who stopped over for the Foch
celebration at Greenwood last Friday,
on his return trip from the Baptist
state convention at Greenwood, says
that he got a near view Of the great
French commander and that the pic
lures of him seen in the papers fur
nish a striking likeness of the man.
DR.. Dyches further said: Marshal
Foch is a speaker of considerable
force, he has a genial face and at
Greenwood presented the appearance
: OF a man who was accepting the honors
accorded him rather for the pleasure OF
those who bestowed them than for any
qualification that came to himself be-
cause of them. His bright eyes be-
token his genius and his firmly set jaw
and close shut lips indicate that dogged
determination which brooks no de-
feat. Though apparently man of Ga
or 70 years Marshal Foch's stalwart
frame, erect carriage and forceful
language combine to impress you that
this military chieftain is still capable
of efficient service 10 his country and
to the world if need for it should de-
velop."
