Supervisor Wooten informed tlie reporter on Monday night that the Southern Ilailway has derided to dig a well from w hich to obtain water for the tank which is to be located near the depot in this place instond of contracting with the officers of the upper mill to furnish water for the tank. The well is to be dug within a few n et "f the tank and will be 20 hv 2<? feet, it is thought that a depth of foot can bo attained. Jiul there is no certainty that the railway will be able to put in a well 30 feet deep at the proposed location, us (juicksand abounds at that point and they are apt to conclude before the work is finished that tl: "irame isn't worth the piny." The lectuiv deliver? :1 by lb v.

The proceeds, amounting to several dollars, is to be expended in the purchase of new hooks for the library, which already contains several hundred as choice volumes as could be found in the library of any school. The library feature of our sell >ols j is one which unhappily is too often overlooked, and our (fold Hill neighbors nre to be congratulated on their efforts to improve their school in this way. Until Sunday evening the strike of tho telegraph operators on the Southern Railway was known to Fort Mill onlv thromrh ilu* i paper reports of it. I Jot those who wished to transact business at the depot iri this place Sunday i night and Monday were able to observe that there was a strike in progress and that Fort Mill was feeling the effects <>t it. Mr. L. F. Ligon, who was operator and agent at. lips place until Sunday <.v ning, closed ins oiHce immediately after the northbound train passed mid refused to trnncact any business for the railway company, stating aa his reason for refusing to act for the company that he was a member of the Order of Railway Telegraphers ami that ttpon a just grievance against his former employees he h.ul been ordered to nuii iiicir service. J->auciny ni?^ht lie left for Columbia to consult with tin oiheiul of his order eoncorning the progress of the strike, etc. He re I urned to Fort Mill Monday evening, ho\u vcr, niul was accompanied by several railroad otlicials and twoopi rators, to whom he p;ave the key3 of tl.eo!!ice. The non-union men wh > have accepted the position which he vacated are, \V. M ishoe, of J .oris, S. ( and S. O. Sistrunl;. of 1 Hie West, S. both younn* men.

Mr. Ligon. however, does u.?i agiee with littn in I his 9 'atom nt Me save that the Southern ha:; been unable to move its trains on schedule time since the strike was ienu:.united and that be f? re it is'at an end I lie com pany will re-employ its former1 operators and accede to their demand ? of a specified number of hours to constitute a day's work, with an increase in salaries. Aside from the claims of the company and the strikers, the facts in the case seem to justify the s ntenient that the strikers are making a losing fight. William Bank.5 to nnrry.
