FarmerH living in the (?o!d Hill !
section of Fort Mill township re- 5
port that that part <>f the pnljlir (
road which was recently graded hy '
the county chain gang near the v
home of Mr. ('has. (Irak am is in '
had condition?that there are m>v- 1
eral inches of mud in the ro: d. v
This was expected, however, and (
when the first rain fell after the 1
grading was done, several farm- 1
ers who live in (Jold 11 ill began
work with their forces in getting
out rock with which to Macadamize
the recently graded road. 1
The Macadam will he put down hy l
the county chain gang. I
It is a regrettable fact that a
number of Confederate veterans in
this township have tlui^ far shown
only inditfercnce to the otlcr of The <
Times to publish a synopsis of I
their war services. ICvery veteran <
hereabouts should, on account of 1
his descendants, if for no other '
reason, feel sullicirntly interested in
this matter to prepare his rcc rd
and send it to this otiice at once. 1
We are anxious, for the sake of t
history, to publish the war record '
of every veteran in this commiini- I
ty, but we do not feel calleil upon 1
to ur^'c thrill 11nit- ;m<! a^ain to attend
to a matter which is most a
important to themselves.
Friends of Magistrate .1. W.
