A^ain we call the attention of

We learn that the widely circulated
report that the Southern
Railway Company offers round
trip tickets from Fort Mill to
Charleston at $1.70 is erroneous.
Ti ...
n t8 Bam that this report was the
result of an error on the part of
the railroad people in sending a
circular letter to this place which
should have been posted in Fort
Moth?, S. C.
The warn) weather of the past
week has had a telling effect on
crops of corn and cotton and we j
don't remember of having seen a
better prospect fro a good Btand of j
each. However, an experienced ;
farmer in discussing this matter, '
says better crops are usually made j
with irregular stands, as the plant j
is generally left too close in the
drill.
Miss Beulah Crowder and broth- j
ei, Master Wilson, narrowly escaped
serious injury Sunday as
they started from home to this
place. For some reason the animal
they were driving became
frightened and in a dash down the
road completely demolishing the
buggy. Both the occupants were
thrown out but fortunately neither
was seriously injured.
Large crowds of Fort Miliums,
on foot an 1 otherwise, paid daily
visits to the Gold Hill section dur- j
ing last wt-ek to witness the com- :
mencement exorcises at Gold Ilill
academy. The sp ech of Hon. W.
J. Talbert Fribay afternoon was'
the drawing card of the occasion .
and a large crowd was present to .
hear and shake hands with the gubernatioual
candidate.
The veterans met Saturdav 1
afternoon and appointed a com- j
mittee to assist the ladies in decorating
the graves on Saturday.
The Fort Mill Light Infantry will
also take part in the decoration
and all the members are earnestly

at 4 o'clock p. ni. The Daughters
of the Confederacy will meet Friday

It is now believed thot no further
consideration will be given by
the President to the subject of retiring
Lieut. Gen. Miles, so long
as the commander of the army
continues his present attitude of
reserve, and that the case will be
allowed to remain as it is unless
Gen. Miles himself should do
something to take some action to
revive the recent determination of
the President.
Mr. W. E. Kimbrell, of this
township, is one of the visitors in (
from Dallas, Texas. He reports
corn in that State eight to twelve
inches high. They were cultiva- 1
ting cotton for the first time. He
says that they make a crop with i
about the same amount of ploughing
that he gives to the preparation
of land before planting. Small
grain shows the damaging effects
of the long drought. The wheat
nnd oat crops were very small.
Depot street, which has been
giving the street force no little
trouble of bite, is again closed on
account of the undermining of the ,
culvert bo* near Main street. It
is said that the Southern Railway i
has agreed to repair the road this '1
time and, while it may be some
weeks yet before the work is coin- 1
pleted, there is consolation in the
*
fact that wheu the Southern completes
a job it in jjeuerally subBtaotial.
The Fort Mill Mfg. Company,
which since its organization in
1887 has transformed its plant
froiii a small weave room to a modern
cotton mill, is still in the line
of improvement. The latest addi- 1
tion to the mill is a finishing ma- |
chine, which will be in operation
iti a few days. With this plant, it
is claimed, the compiny will be
enabled to suve thousands of dollars
annually, which money heretofore
has been paid to Northern ;
OolWPrna
hurried out into the delightful ;
spring atmosphero. The charges i
consisted principally of drunks
and disorderlies, and the city treasury
showed an additional cash
balance of $.'17 after the morning's
receipts had been enumerated.
A case which probably elicited
more interest was that of a Mr.
Brown, of Salisbury, N. ('., and
John Kutledge, an employe of the i
Millfort mill. Morgan had Hutledge
arrested on tho charge of
bigamy. It seems that some weeks
ago liutledge ran away with a
daughter of Morgan and that the1
latter has since received information
that Kutledge had a wife ,
and several children in another
State. Rutledge denied the charge
and agreed to accompany Brown
to North Carolina, where lie said
ho could prove his innocence.
He was thereupon released and
remained in town until shortly before
train time, when suddenly he
skipped out for narts unknown
Morgan and his daughter left oil
the evening train f<jr Salisbury.

The town council has recently
bought from Capt. S. E. White one
anil one-half acres of land adjoining
the cemetery, which will in a
a short while be paled in and made
a part of the present burial ground.
By this time another week the lots
in the addition will have been surveyed
and will be sold at $10 each.
It is very probable that a new oflicer
of the town will be elected in a
short time, whose principal duty
it shall be to see that the cemetery
is propeily cared for and to
plant flowers, etc, therein.
It is now reported that the Catawba
Power Company and Messrs.
Ordway Sons, have about settled
their dstferences as to the building
of the eastern section of the Catawba
dam. It will be remembered
that some days ago the latter were
ordered to stop work, which, it is
said, was unsatisfactory to the
company. A compromise will
probably be effected soon, and,
while the Messrs. Ordway may not
complete the work, this step will
open the work to others, which in
the present shape would stand until
after court this fall.
