a sweet, tender-beat led Christian
woman, who was devoted to

Mr. Thos. Mclvei* Hughes, of this
place, to be soicmniz* d at tit. hon e

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.
Dr. Bays on "Courtship' at (.{old
VIiII Acadoiny last Tin::si <y evening
wns a surprise to those who
heard it, in that they wen so profitably
and pleasantly nub rtaiued
for more thun an hour an i a half
by the dismission of a subject
which would ordinarily seen:
threadbare and worn to a frazzle.
Some of the periods used by tindoctor
in Ids lecture vo ;v as beautiful
as one could wish to In nr,and
it is a source of gratification to
those who managed the lecture to
know that all who heard :i were sohighly
pleased. 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. Traiu Dispatelier
Williams was >ne < f the
railway otlicials who cauie to Fort
Mill Monday evening and ho informed
the reporter that t best like
hud occasioned his company little
inconvenience nnd tint ihev leui
boon able t. promptly Jill the places
ol' the strike;-.?. 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.
