Fort Mill 'Phone (wl?h lonn distance connections) No. 26. " d A N U A KYitf. 1 n<":r>. A Movement That Hasn't Moved. The Charlotte Observer of Wednesday contains the following, which will interest the people of Port Mill: . A citizen from Fort Mill, S. G., sixteen miles from Charlotte, was in a tnlkative mood yesterday. "There is, 1 tljjnk, a pretty substantial movement qn foot iq Fort Mil) to have a dispensary established there, with the especial yiew of cnteriiur to Charlotte trade. \Vby not? The interstate commerce laws sanction it uud the distance is convenient." "How would it do business with Charlotte ?" "Well, there's no lpgal objection, I believe, to establishing an express company running from Fori Mill to Charlotte, and such a ootnoany would, by thp decision of the Supreme Court of the United Status, have full rij*ht to deliver as 'I common carrier nil imndu ?m?. . ^ ?- r> ?f w,f justed to its cnre." "How serious are yon?1' "Entirely so, I assure you. There je no especial sentiment against the liquor business in Fort Mill and if the town can do business of that sort that will benefit it, it will |io started, I believe." Pipe dream, pure and pimple. Faithful inquiry on the pai t of The Times has failed to discover the least effort making in the community to establish a dispensary jn Fort Mill. At different times since j-he dispensary law was passed the matter,of opening one of the state's saloons in this place has received consideration by a few citizens, but the subject has never assumed such proportions as to occasion concern by thoqe who are opposed to the system. The Observer's informant is,alsovery much mistaken in the statement that there "is no special sentiment htraintt the liquor business in Fort * Mill." More than twenty years aqo the barrooms were voted out of the town and there has not since been concerted action by any appreciable number of citizens looking to a return to the sale of whiskey here. Gossipping. m . , The lmbit of gossipping ia destructive t? ttie higher lite in the soul of individuals, and has always proved harmful to the harmony, peace and good fpoling in those chmohes which are afflicted with the evil, says an exchange. Happy is the man or woman who is pot made the confidant of the talebearers. But rf one cnnnqt always escape listening to evil reports concerning liis neighbor, let him adopt tin rule of n wise man. Said he: 'Wiieu I hear something bud about someb d\ whom 1 always ani poaed to be good, I always take out my lead pencil and take off twenty-five percent from the story toi the habit of exaggeration which belongs to the man who r iirtrt told the story; then I take otT twenty-live percent, from the fact that the man may have been put into ctrcuinstances of overpower nig circumstances; then I take otF tw? nty-five per cent of the additions which the spirit of gossip in evt ry community has put upon the original story. So, I have taken off seventy live per cent. But i have not heard his side of * *1 k story at all, ami for fids reason I take off the remaining t>\vntyliv i or cent, until f l^ave found I out tor myself." nit ninety percent of all the f?ld in detraction of olhers v shushes upon proper investigation.

Another accident, which resulted in the death of Alex Campbell, colored, took place Friday morning at 11 o'clock at the new railroad bride,' ?>\or Cutiwhn river .'5 miles south of Fori Mill. A gang btidge hands were engaged in tearing* away a portion of false work near the west side of the river and Campbell and an other negro were standing in a boat assisting in the work.
