The fourth fcunnal inspection of the Fort Mill Light Infnntry, offi cered by C^pt. T. B. Spratt and Lieiits. S. Xp. and Arthur Parks, WAR held Initf WArlnaodnw nfjumnnn J oo the drill ground in the rear cf the JSpratl Machine shops. ?t was with sorpe misgivings that Capt. Spratt assembled his company in the armory preparatory to the inspection, which for the tirat time was to be witnessed in an official capacity by a representative of the Federal government, Col. &b?rris, U. fcj. A., well as by Adjutant and Inspector General John p. Frost, in behalf of the Mtate. At 3 o'clock the company, 47 strong, under the command of Capt. Sprajtl and dressed in their peip khaki piriforms, marched to tbje drill grouuds where the inspection was begun without p moment's j~I 11n.. . ? - .! < ueiuy. uie inspection or me gun and uniform of ea^ch member, the cciupauy was turned over to pie captain, who for p"> minutes put the company through the manual and $ejd movements. Capt. Spratt gave the comniands in a plear, soldier-like voice and only once during the inspection did the company fnij to respond promptly and precisely to his commands. This immaterial error was due to tfye inattention of one gf the noncommissioned gfficers and momentarily confused the cgmpany. The inspection was satisfactory to both the Federal and State representative upd was gratifying in the extreme to the otticers of the company, who had worked hard and faithffilly to the end that the inspection mjght be creditable. In a short speech Col. Morris congratulated the cgmpany in flat lermg terms over ujeir soldierly appearance and expresjed the hope that paclf mepitjer wpuld display keen interest in the prganization and endeavor fo make it one of the most eilici0t}? companies in the State. Gen, Frost also spojte in complimeijtary terpis of the company and explained that the much discussed pick militia bill passed at the last sessipn of Congress di ifered in none of its essential features to the militia la^vs which have been on the Federal statute books since 179'2, excepf that greater provision is made for the maintenance of the /a? f?? _i__ - Mnnf ucilt r rusi HIHO in* formed the company that the money for a State encampment was available at the Federal treasury and took a hand primary \o appertain whether a majority of the megibers favored an encampment at some point on tlje BeacoQst ir in one of the mountain toprof of the Htate. Without n dissenting vote the company expressed a desire to go to the sea coast. The Fqrt Mill Light Infantry is an ofgaujzation in which every citizen of the community should feel a sepae of pride and every tiling possible should be done to fucouragp the officers in their ef forts to bring the company up to the standard of excellence which is maintained by the best companics in the $tate. n?l ' <mx 1 ! ? ? ? i m ? ? - JW ' illWJ.H"!

Mr. Brady, a bridge contractor of (Colombia, was present and endeavored to have the supervisors erect an iron bridge, but as the funds of the two counties were too light, the proposition was not , considered.

President Snnpiel Spencer, of the Southern Railway company, j who is in Washington said that I the road wili be double-trucked l>etween Washington unci Atlanta,; and $25,0Q0,0O0 spent on betterments, including double trackage.
