The Ardrcy's Rural Delivery Route. I
Special Agent F. 1*. Boiishee. of
I lie runt! runil service, was in Fort
Mill Inst Wednesday, for Hie secmid
time within the past three
months. The object of Mr. lioudiee's
visit to this section was to ;
inspect the roads over which the 1
mail of the Ardrey'e star route is |i
3?rried. villi the view of con vert ii* * i
the star route iuto a rurul (I
livery route. I
Mr. l'oushee was nccorapniil .
>11 his tour of inspection by Mi
\V. Ardrey, to whoui much cr^it j
is due for his efforts in tjying j1
lo have the route established. , i
The proposed route "will cover
[iractically the Mime territory as <
I lie star route. The present in-,
coining tci(> of the carrier will, !
however, be made the outgoing ,
trip, and vice versa. One i-light
change will be made in the route
froiu BarbeiHvillo to Fort .Mill, in
that the carrier will cross Sugar i
creek over liailes' instead of Barber's
bridge.
Mr. iioushee spoke very favor- ,
Eil?ly of the proposed route, but
stated that it would be necessary
to do considerable work 011 the
road between Fort Mill and liurbersville
before the route will be
established. It is now up to those
living nearest the objectionable
strip of road to see that it is put
in proper condition at once. It is
understood that the route will
probably be established by the 1st
of January, if the necessary work
is done by that time.
While in this seetion, Mr. Hon
shee also inspected the proposed
rural delivery route through Waxhaw,
which may also be established
in the near future.
Tho Similar Mishaps.
Edward, the six-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. .1. M Williford, had j
his left hand seriously burned i
Friday morning. Several days ]
ago the little fellow mashed his I
hand while carrying stove wood I
into the kitchen at his home. The j
injured hand was wrapped in a
cloth saturated with turpentine Friday
morning, when he earelesnly
struck a mutch and ignited the :
cloth. His parents being away
from home at the time, the little
fellow ran screaming to the home
a neighoor, who tore what remained
i f the burning cloth from bis
hand. The hand is so badly burned
that it may have to l>e amputated.
Another accident, similar lo the
foregoing, occurred in tliin township
Friday morning. The li.uht
htiml of Mr. S ?T. Kimbroll whs
accidentally mashed while closing
a car door between Charlotte and
Fort Mill on Monday of last week, j
Mr. Kimbroll also had his hand
wrapped in a cloth saturated with
turpentine. Friday morning he ,
was kindling a tiro at his homo. I
In some way the cloth around his j
hand caught lire and before the I
blaze could be put out. his hand
was painfully, though not serious- !
ly, burned.
Smallpox Near fort Mill.
A considerable number of people
in Fort Mill were made uneasy
one afternoon last week by a report
beino eirculated about town that a
netrro boy on the plant ition of
n..,o s: F wi.:?~ i

The attention of the chairman
of the local hoard of health.
Capt.. S. 15. White, was directed
to the report, and a sp -eial
meeting of the hoard was ordered
to he held Friday inorninu'.
At the meeting a resolution was
adopted requesting every person
in Fort Al.ll to submit to vaccination
at the earliest possible 1110
mi-nt. Few have thus fat complied
with the request.
In the case of the young white
ma 11 in Gold llill, the report
proved untrue, hut it is now sta ed
positively that, the negro boy on
('apt. W hite's plantation has smallpox.
No steps have boon taken to
isolate the case.
While Man Shot by a Nejjro Thief.
Monday evening nt ('? o'clock
Mr. .John Whitesides, a farmer
living 8 miles cant of Fort Mill,
was shot in the stoma h by an nnknown
nc^ro thief. Mr. W. 10.
Caldwell runs a s'ore near 1 'r.?vi- !
donee chinch. While ho was at
supper Monday evening a negro
broke into the store. Mr. Whitesides
came up in time to see the

she was in the habit of carrying
anywhere from $100 to $*200 in a ,
purse which she concealed in her

tered a beef and it is the theory
that the murderers hail stolen the
beef and while carrying it otf had
met the woman, and knowing of
her having money with her, added
murder and further jobbery to i
their crime, and having killed the
woman and secured the eash, ,
dropped their less valuable booty

?
Open Violation of llic (iamo Law.
On the statute books of South
Carolina th? re is a law against
non-residents coming into the
State and killing partridges. lie- j
eently several youm* men from I
Charlotte, N. C.. have frequently j
passed through Fort Mill en route
to Pleasant Valley, where, it is
stated, they killed a number of
partridges and afterwards sold
tliein in Charlotte. If we mistake
not, t-liis violation of the law must
be borne equally by the person
who permits non-residents to kill
partridges on his land. The Times
calls upon every magistrate in this
section of the State to see that the
law is enforced.
Gold Hill Rural Delivery a Certainty.
The establishment of the rural

on January 1. A number of interested
gentlemen are now engaged
in taking orders for mnil boxes to
be placed along the route. It is
understood that the post-office department
will place two boxes?
one at W. K. Griffin's store, the
other near \Y. II. Windle's home?
for the reception of mail matter.
