April 2.<)th, 1899.
Ooly one case of smallpox has
appeared in town this week. The |
victim is Mr. \Vm. Smith, who is
confined to his home, near the old '
mill, with the disease. It iH said
that Mr. W. M. Crook, of Gold
Hill, also has smallpox.
Since tlie establishment of two
rural deliyery routes leading out
front Fort Mill, Postmaster Mas- !
sey has decided to haye an addition
made to the postotKee in this
place. The room will l>e built to
the rear of the office and the work
will begin in a few days.
The News and Courier has this
to say alxjut Dr. J. H. Thornwell. 1
01 iiiih place, in its write up of
Pythian day in Charleston; "A
resume of the events of Pythian
Day without a word about the ,
grand keeper of records and seal,'
the Rev. J. H ThorjiwelJ, would
be most incomplete and could
only be compared to some paint*
ing of an evening which had no'
evidence of a moon, for Dr. Thorn.well
is the bright and fieautiful
light of Pythianisin, which sheds
its soft and benevolent light on
every J?njgh|in South Carolina."

The price of staple provisions.
are about 50 per cent higher than
they were two years ago. Corn,
bacon, lard, potatoes nud canned
i goods haye ail advanced. Flour,
sugar aud coffee keep dowu somej
what. The fauiilies who have to
live from tbe stores and meat
(shops say that housekeeping now i
l costs at least fifty per cent more
than it did a year ago.
Very little of the snow which
| fell here ten days ago is to be seen
j now, except in spots where the
suu cannot strike it. On Thursday
of last week considerable sleet
and rain fell which froze and the
day was one the most, disagreeable
of the winter. The town has been j
experiencing a wood famine for:
two weeks, the cause being the al- !
njost impassible conditions of the '
roads. However, this want was!
i partially supplied by the town nu- ;
thorities, who received and distributed
among the needy, a car
load of good dry wood, allowing
each one-fourth cord. Up to a
few years ago the operatives of
the mills in this place were partially
supplied with wood during
the cold weather from the wood
yArds.of the mills, but this sonne
of supply has been cut off now, as
the mi tie use coal exclusively and
the people are compelled to depend
upon the couutry for their
winter wood.

To Preveut Smallpox.
At a meeting of the citizens of
the township, held Saturday after j
noon, ii was decided to petition
the State board of health to take?
steps to prevent a further spread
of smallpox in the township. In
his reply to a letter in regard to
the matter, Dr. Eians, secretary
of the State board, stated that
.1 i il ?
i auoui uie only means ot stamping
1 out the disease is to enforce vaccination;
that lie did not have the
authority to institute compulsory
Accination generally, and advised
the citizens to write Governor
McSweeuey in regard to the matter.
Tho following township board of
heaith whs suggested at the meeting:
Dr. D. G. Thompson, B. M.
Faris, D. A. Lee, J. L. Kimbrell,
and D. G. Kimbrell.
Fort Mill l ight Infantry in Charleston.
The Fort Mill Light Infantry.
32 strong, left Friday morning at
?S o'clock for Charleston, arriving
in that city at 5:3d p. rn. The
company ws landed in tho exposition
grounds, near the quarters
which bad previously been arranged
fgr theiu. They were
quartered in a large comfortable
two-Rtory building, along with a
number of other companies.
Early ^Saturday morning the
boys arose and in a body boarded
the cars for the city, where they
remained until the parade was
formed on Broad street at 11
o'clock.
The parade consisted of Virginia,
South Carolina and Georgia
troops, numbering about 3,000.
After traversing several of the
principal streets of the city the
troops ' were marched through
Marion Square where the parade
was reviewed by a number of
preminent military men. among
whom was Governor White, of
West Virginia. The march was
then made to the exposition
grounds whore the companies were
dismise'd.
The Fort Mill company is to he
congratula e 1 upon the excellent
showing which they made in the
parade, and it may well be said
that they were numbered among
the first for their correctness of
step and military bearing.
The company remained over
Sunday, veiwing Charleston, Sul- I
livans Island, Fort Sumter, etc., !
and returned home Monday inorn- |
ing.

Work at the Catawba Dam.
Yorkrtlle Yeoman.
Mr. W. H arris Wylie, superin- i
tendent of the Catawba Power i
Company's work on Catawba river,
east of Yorkvilie, was in town yesterday.
# When (piostioned, lie
spoke quite interestingly of the
work at the -iver.
The company ia building firstclass
work, calculated to stand the j
force of flood water and of such
proportions that the capacity of
the dam can be increased in after
years, should the demand justify it. j
The construction corps has had'
many difficulties to contend with
in the work of building. The record
of the past year freshets and
very high water has scarcely been
exceeded in the known history of!
the river. Fortv-HAv?n limuo
iii twelve mouths, and forty-five
times since the middle of last,
March, the water hns been over
the coffer dam, necessitating a sua
pension of operations and causing
considerable damage each time.
What this means may be inferred
when it is known that there have
been years when the river has not i
been so high a single time.
The company is not at all dig |

heartened at the disaster that has i
been piled upon it, twit is goin^ !
steadily ahead with the work, which i
will probably rank alont; with the '
finest in the So,uth when finished.
In reply to a question if the;
company contemplated building an
electric railroad from Hock Hill ,
to the dam and possibly from there |
to Yorkv.lle, Mr. SVylie said they
had no intention of Uoiiitf so, their
so.e idea bein^ to furnish power;
and he, moreover, did not think
there was any demand for such u ]
road. .
Tlie reporter then suggested
that in the minds of some, tlie recent
incorporation of a company to
hnikl a railroad to run from Hock
Hill to Harmony, on the Seaboaid
Air Line, had been connected with i
his company.
"Oh," he replied, "that is an- j
other matter; that road is to haul
freight."
But he neither affirmed nor de- )
nied the suggestion that his company
was connected with the j
scheme.
Selected County News.
There will be no free rural de j
livery on the proprosed route by
way of Zodak, Bethany, Carp, etc., :
until after July 1st. That much is
settled. The reason urged by the !
post office department is that the
appropriation for this purpose is |
exhausted, and no ot her new routes I
can he established until the new
appropriation is available. It is
probable that there will he no other
trouble after the date named, for
there are few routes that, would I
serve a section of country where !
free delivery is worse needed.
? Yorkville Yeoman.
Wednesday Magistrate Nunnery
sent a negro man, calling himself
Sain Barber, to the chaingang for i
JO days for cruelty to a child.
Barber claims to be from Columbia
and was tramping from that city
to Charlotte being accompanied by ,
a little colored boy. The child
broke down and could go no fur
tlier than a mile or so above Ogden. !
Becoming enraged with the child, |
Barber knocked him down and
stamped him in the face several >
times with the heel of his shoe, i
producing painftd injuries. Per- '
sona in the neighborhood, feeling
indignant at the cruelty of the 1
brutal man, had him arrested, with |
the result that he is now in chains

case, tlmt in supposed to lie smallpox,

Cotton Mill vi lage. A young man
named Charlie Prfcssley, died laat

and the doctors think he haa smallpox.
