Wedin sd.*y, Thursday and Friday i
here listing the taxable property
of Fort Mill township. Mr. Hunt- ]
er expressed himself as highly 1
pleased at the number of returns i
taken, and believed that had not :

Fort Mill, in common with otb- 1
er towns in this section, suffered 1
heavy damage on acoouut of the j
unusually severe sleet storm of
Thunsday and Friday. Fruit and 1
shade trees were everywhere
broken down and in some instances
even uprooted. The electric
light and telephone lines also suffet?>d
much damage. Many wires
were broken clown and h number
of poles nave away under weight
of the toe. The damage cannot be
estimated as there is evidence of
injury on every side. i
The public roads are bad in
many Sections of the township
and farmers experience difficulty
in j?ettii:tr into town. In some sections
the roads are said to be in
. worse condition now than they
have beeu for several years, and !
the condition will not be relieved
until there is plenty of sunshine
. to di"3 them out. The same oon- j
ditiou also exists on some of the
. streets of the town, especially .
tbuoe that wire recently graded. I
