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.
The Hunting Season
The hunting season of 1904 5
is now on in full swinp and ahout
everyone who owns or could borrow
a pun has tested his marksman- ;
ship since its advent on the 1st. j
Several times durittp the past
week numbers of ardent sports- ;
men with vociferous dops have
come down from "over the line" (
and almost daily the forests and ;
fields resound with the reports of
the fowiinp pieces. 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.

-4 Dare
Devil Cvclist Takes Tumble.
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.
