and surrounding sections, in town
tor their customary week-end trading.
Merchants report trade as being
exceptionally good.

We hear that a number of our
citizens are corsidering the advisability
of opening a steam laundry
in Fort Mill. Surli an enterprise
would hardly pay in a town of this
size and the promoters had better
investigate the matter thoroughly
before investing their money.
A report reached town Sunday
afternoon that Luin Jennings, colored
had been shot by another
negro on the plantation of Mr. V.

Jennings right leg.

May Hac Electric Lights.
The action ?f the town council
in its efforts :o secure from the
Catawba Powtr Cotipnny eufticien'
' electric powei to light h e streets
j of Fort Mill, will doubtless meet
; with the apprnal of every citizen
1 of the town. The arrangements
have not yet b. en perfected, but
there is every reasoi to believe
that with tfie cornj etion of the
big power j: ant, Fot Mill will become
an elertric-lig^ted little city.
Just liov many Rights will laI

Tlte town hardly able
to bear the fexpenstyjf a light at

is the intention of fie authorities
to place the rrca wiere they w ill
benefit the grutest itunber of people
The move is a food one and
should be caried though, even if
an extra tax hvy is leoeesary.
