the First Baptist church in Charlotte
MIG, Sunday morning to Herbert
Maxwell Allen of that city The cere-
mony, was performed by the, Rev.
Luther Little, D. d., in the presence
of q. few close. friends of the young
couple.. The difference in time It
now takes to make the trip by auto
mobile from Fort Mill to York and
hack to Fort Mill over good roads
compared with the time it took TO
make the same trip over unimproved
roads in buggy some years ago was
illustrated Friday morning when two
Fort Mill citizens left here after
o'clock and at II o'clock were back at
their homes, after spending more
than an hour at the county seat In
years gone by, when horse-drawn We
hlcles were the principal mode of
travel through the country from Fort
Mill to York, about the quickest time
that could be made between the two
towns was five hours. Then the round
trip consumed practically an entire
day and at its end the horse that had
drawn the buggy was almost worn
out from. pulling the vehicle over the
rough, hilly roads. Now one may get
into his car and ride in comfort over
the % miles of good road separating
Fort Mill and York in less than an
hour without fear of violating the
speed laws.......-..--T The 18th annual ses-
sion of the York Baptist Sunday School
convention will be held with the Bap-
tist church at Glover, Tuesday and
Wednesday, May 9 and 10. The con-
vention will be composed of delegates
from the Sunday schools in the York
Baptist association, about IS in all,
and full delegation is expected at
the session. Dr. ]. w. II. Dyches Of
Fort Mill is president or the conven-
tion and w. A. McAfee of York is
vice president. The removal of w. G.

sides the workers in the convention
territory who will deliver addresses
other speakers will be the Rev. G. c.
Epps, the Rev. A. l.. Pickens and Miss
Elizabeth Nuckols, all of statewide
prominence ohm w. Elms, Pleas
ant Valley farmer, does not purpose
that the boil weevil get the upper
hand of him as it has many farmers
in the sections of the state where it
apparently has taken up permanent
residence. Realizing that sooner or
later the weevil would become active
in destroying the cotton crop of his
neighborhood, Mr.. Elms has turned
his attention from cotton growing 10
dairying and now has herd Of 70
good cows, from which he delivers
daily about IS gallons OF milk in
Charlotte. The milk is sold in the
main in quart bottles at Is cents each
and is delivered at the doorstuOD OF
his custOmers-.-.......A Pleasant
Valley farm who also is operating q
dairy and like Mr. Elms finds his GUS
toners in Charlotte is Arthur Hall.
The milk from both dairies is deliver
ed by motor truck and notwithstand-
ing the distance Of about 20 miles to
Charlotte. good roads to that city in
sure prompt deliveries, regardless of
weather conditions.
