PaJmefto Hotel a Handsome Hostlerey The work of remodeling and improving the Palmetto Hotel has been completed and the building now presents a very handsome appearance. The new looms addtd i to the building are ail occupied, and whilo conditions are not near' i ly so cramped as before the improvements were made, it is said that even more rooms could bo used to to great advantage. The; hotel at present is larger than any the town has ever had, hut the present conditions force one to conclude that Fort Mill is still in need of better accomodations along this line, and it is to he hoped that some of our moneyed men may in the near future decide to erect a modern ho*el; one that will be iu keeping with the town's needs.

Our local hunters have also been on the po and the rahbits and birds haye been "liviiip hard." From state- i merits made, late eveninps, it is be- ; lieved that a few of the feathery tribe died violent deaths, but this , must, He taken largely on hearsay. Game, in fact, is thought to benot too plentiful, though the prospect is for a fair season. Young Carter In Trouble.

Porthos, the dare-devil chasm lea per, fell from his track at Shelby and came near bteaking hie neck. The Porepangh-Sell.s circus was a! Shelby, X. C., l?Ht week. Porthos' daring act, was, as usual, to bo the climax, the titing close to a stupendous exhibition of all that is difficult and extraordinary He mounted to tin- top of his sloping truck, up near the roof of the tent, and prepared to go down the narrow way again on his wheel, at the speed of a cannon ball, shoot up a sharp incline, and then through space, titty feet in the air, over the backs of ten great elephants and?land safely. Hut perhaps Porthos will do the act no more. Down the track lie did go to the begiuing on the incline, and then, witli a sharp crash, all in a minute rider and wheel went to the groun !, in a tangled mass. Allendale rushed lo the rider and succeeded in extricating him from the wheel. He regained consciousness after amiuute and limp ed away on an attendants arm The audience turned pale at the accident, and thought the rider was dead. Auction Sale.
