Pr.ghahly a very small number of the many persons wl;o daily walk the footbridge which spans the railroad cut a hundred yards north of the depot in this place know tlint the building of the roadbed through the cut, about 10U yards iij length, wnp attended by a very great deal of trouble and expense Owing to the presence of (juieksand it was necessary for a work train to be engaged for more than six months in putting in piling, rock, timber and gravel before a train was allowed to venture inside the cut. Then, for mouths after, trains passing through the cut would sink into the sand until the wheels would be entirely hid from view. So dangerous was the roadbed considered that all trains were j stopped and the passengers advised to get utl' and walk until the cut was passed. This practice was continued for many mouths. During recent yoars little trouble has l?een experienced in keeping the roadbed in good condition, though there are numerous springs in the cut from which water flows continuously. - . tyr. A. C. Springs Here. Last Wednesday and Thursday Mr. Alva C. Springs, of El Reno, Oklahoma, was a guest at the home i ofCapt. S. E. White. Mr. Springs moved from Fort Mill to Oklahoma several years ago. Recently he has been engaged in the real estate business, in which it is said hp has met with considerable sue- 1 cess. Discussing Oklahoma politics with a number of Fort Mill friends Thursday morning, Mr. Springs said that the people of the section of the Territory in which he lives are anxious for Statehood, lie d .es not belieye, however, th it Oklahoma will be admitted to the I'nion as long nstheKepub licans are in power at Washington, for the reason that the Territory is Democratic, as Oklahoma State would also be, and that fact, well known to the Republicans, would mean two Democratic United States Senators, as well as a member of the lower house of Congress, to say nothing of the State administration. After spending some time in Charlotte with his brothers, Messrs. E. Ji. And 1?. D. Springs, and other relatives and friends, Mr. Springs will return to El lteno. Cherry Tree Swindlers Sentenced.
