1.-THE industrial exposition was a reve-
lation to Indianapolis" Mr.. Jewett said
'If It can be continued from year to year
1t will be more remunerative than ex-
pensive."
Mr.. Jewett said Indianapolis business
men would take little risk in investing
their money in a convention and exposl-
ton building. He said such a building
should be city owned but that he did
not believe this plan practicable. He
said that he believed such a building
would be one of the greatest assets to the
city of Indianapolis and that its con-
struction would not require a fabulous
sum of money He said that it could be
put over and made profitable.
BELIEVES BUSINESS

James A. Daugherty of the Robbins
Body Corporation, expressed himself as
favorable to the proposal and also ex-
pressed the opinion that business con-

cause of the lack Of facilities, John B..
Reynolds, general secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce. said. He referred to
the fact that the furniture manufacturers
Of the city wish to have a place for a
permanent furniture exhibit.
Merle Sidener expressed the opinion
that the selling of indianapolis industries
to the people should not be overlooked.
'The education of the people to what
we have industrially can be brought
about by the industries" he said 1.-The
exhibition last fall was the best adver-
tfSement indianapolis ever had In
stead Of a convention hall, let's call it
an industrial hall and have permanent
exhibits Of everything made In Indian
apolis."
The plans for the automobile show and
the need for large building were out
lined by John Orman of the Indianapolis
Automobile Trade Association. Howard
Griffith, sales manager Of the Uden
Works, told of the wish of furniture
manufacturers for an exposition build
ing.
Following these talks a motion for the
appointment of a committee of FIVE to
go into the building proposal was made
and carried.
Preceding the speaking program a
pageant in the nature of a cabaret enter

direction of II. V. Williams, business
manager Of Heart o. Trade, one of the
Chamber of Commerce publications.

Railroad Accidents
Increase in Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Mex, Feb. 1.-Railroad
accidents are increasing In number in
Mexico. Many causes arc assigned for
this condition, which is causing heavy
losses to the lines, delay to shippers and
peril to passengers.
As there are two rival classes Of rail-
road employees, each OF these blames the
other.
One body Of workers was engaged at
the time OF the general railroad strike
last February. These are accused of in
competency by the older employees, who
were taken back after the strike failed.
The new workers retort by charging
the older workers with carelessness.
1t is said that the real trouble is
due to bad condition of the track, caused
by heavy rains and floods, and to the
need of newer and better rolling stock.

UP-To-DATE DANCES.

I've been in my day what
some folks might call a rounder, I"
a day or two ago said Fort Mill
man, "and every now and then, or
once in a while, as you prefer, l
yet take q look IN on phases Of
life which would not be recon-
mended in Sunday school. For a
year or two l flopped around in
France trying to bump Oft Ger
mans and otherwise having q good
time, including a few visits Ito
dance halls, gambling, joints for
both sexes, cabarets and cafes
where liquor was sold and the
women guests were of the free
and easy class that gives the coun-
try none too good reputation
abroad; but in all these places l
did. not see anything quite so ad-
vanced as the things one may see
at some of the swell dances in
this country.
mot long ago went TO one Of
these dances In town not a
thousand miles from here. There
was plenty of liquor to be had at
the dance, but 1 did not drink
any of it and was therefore in
condition to observe what was
happening. Some of the things |
saw lacked good deal of recon-
mcnding the town for orderliness
and gentility. The police finally
came along after midnight and
took in tow some of the young
male drunks who were getting a
little too gay with their obscene
singing, loud swearing and other
acts of debauchery; and that was
all right, but the thing | could
not understand was why some of
the women at the dance were not
also run in for indecent exposure
OF the person; but of course these
things did not jar me, as | saw
just about what expected to see.
Ever been to one Of these up
to-date dances, where the para
phernalia of the women consists
Of enough clothes to flag an OK
cart and a sufficient quantity of
powder to blew .up-a hill aide.

characteristic of the men for the
time being is their liquored-up

The women are always full of

Road Work Plans Misunderstood

Although it is generally under.

two years ago by the voters Of
Fort Mill township was in excess
OF the amount authorized by the
constitution of the State and that

towns of the State recently have
been misled into publishing news
items regarding the plans of the

do not warrant. The Times is

NEW CHURCH COMPLETED.
Cornerstone of st. Johns Laid
With Impressive Service.

With Impressive Service.
Sunday was red letter day
in the history Of Fort Mill Meth
odisin, the day marking the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the
beautiful new building Of st.
Johns congregation. The build
ing was practically completed
some months ago, but lacked un-
til Sunday morning the. finishing
touches which were given when
the cornerstone was placed in po-
sition. The church is considered
one of the most modern houses Of
worship in the upper section OF
South Carolina and is a credit to
the congregation and a source of
pride to the community. 1t is the
II ird house of worship occupied
by the congregation since the
church was organized in the dec
ade following the Civil war; the
first being a frame building on
what is now known as Clebourne
street and the second building,
also frame structure, occupy
irg, on Tom Hall street, the site
Of the new building. 1t is mod
ern in every respect, containing an
unusually large number of rooms
for Sunday school work, with
kitchen and dining room, cloak
rooms, pastors study and an au-
d;torium seating about 600 peo.
pie. The building is steam heat
cd throughout and is splendidly
lighted and ventilated.
The congregations of both the
local Presbyterian and Baptist
churches joined the, congregation
Of st. Johns in celebrating the
laying of the cornerstone and the
auditorium was filled to capac-
ity. The devotional exercises
consisted principally of the. ser
mon by the Rev. G.. c.. Leonard,
presiding elder of the Rock Hill
district. Mr.. Leonard read the
Scripture lesson from Nehemiah
ALP and Matthew 20:l-6 and
then took for his text Nehemiah
A:6: = For the people had d mind
10 work. ~ He told Of the diff,
culties that could be overcome by
cooperation and the use of the
means at hand, the result being
success if the individual did his
or her part. Mr.. Leonard stress.
ed the accomplishments of the
Hebrews in their labor for the
Lord after they had repented Of
their sins and had been forgiven.
Following the sermon, the Rev.
w. r. Bouknight, pastor of st.
John 8 for the last four years
and to whom much credit is
given for the erection of the new
house of worship, delivered a,
SHORT address in which he thank.
ed his congregation and the peo-
pie of the community generally
aor the consideration they had
shown him since his ministry be-
an here. Concluding his address
Mr.. Bouknight expressed regret
at the prospect of being assigned
At the next meeting of the general
conference to another field.
Following the address of Mr..
Bouknight, the congregation re-
paired from the auditorium to
the front Of the church where the
ceremony of laying the CO ,er-
stone was concluded. In the stone
was placed a list of the contrib
Ntors to the building fund, the
names OF the officers Of the
church, the, Sunday school and
the building committee.
