A force of lineman arrived yes- I
terday morning to stretch the line
of wire from the mills in this place ,
to the Catawba Power Company's !
|>lant on Catawba river. It is understood
that the motors, etc., for
the mills are en route and are daily
expected to arrive. Immediately ;
upon the arrival of the electrical
equipment a force of engineers install
the same, and it is thought
that our mills will he humming |

[t is probable that 'lie dates fori
the aiiuual reunion ot the Confederate
veterans of the tue Slate in
Charleston will be changed from j
May 17 18 10 on account of the j
conflict with the State Democratic |
convention. There was no intention
to have the conflict and as the
date of the Ktate convention cannot
be changed the reunion dates must
be altered if the conflict is not to j
take place. A meeting of the committee
will he held in a few days
to act tipou the matter.
County Chairman J. S. lirice
o /.ui! f... *1.* iv ianf _
ic clubs of the county to assemble
at their places of meeting: on Sat- j
urday, 2drd inst. for the purpose j
of electing drhgHtes to the county ;
convention which meets in Yorkville
mt May 2. At the comity
convention, ten delegates will he
elected to represent the county in
State convention to be held in
Columbia May 18th. A member
of the State executive committee
from York county will be elected,
as will also a county chairman. It
is hoped that all members of the
clubs will attend the precinct
meetings, for if they do not turn
out and aid in the election of the
delegates, the purpose of the club
meetings is destroyed.

man who was formerly employed
in on one of the twills at this place,
was triisl liefore Mayor ,1. .1. Hull,
of Rock Hill, Monday upon the
charge of grossly indecent conduct
in the presence of several young
ladies. There were eight indictments.
Hunnicut was found guil
ty upon each clmrge and sentenced
to pay a line of 525 or serve HO
days on the county chain gang for
each offence. In all probability
Hunnicut will take an appeal to
the circuit court.

To Have New Depot.
Fort Mill is at last to have a now
passenger do|V)t. Superintendent
Henry A. Williams of the Southern
was in town a few days ago
and stated that work on the new
depot would be commenced within
a few weeks. The present passenger
depot is entirely to small for
the needs of the town ami by reason
of tbc fact that it is located on
the west side of the tracks from the
business portion of the town has
been a standing menace to life and
property, a number of persons and
vehicles have narrowly escaped injury
from incoming southbound
trains, by reason of the fact that
lie trains cannot he seen until
within a huu Ired yards of the depot.
The new depot will be located
conveniently to the business district
of the o vn, almost opposite
the old depot on the east side of
the tracks, the stated dimensions
being 22 by 4H fert. It will, of
course, be provided with sepernte
waiting rooms for the races, and
besides will have a baggage and
express room and a ticket offi -e.
The announcement of the new depot
gives much satisfaction, as
there tins been a great deal of complaint
against the pieseut pass* 11
ger faculties.
