Since our last issue the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Brown has contracted the disease and is re _ A _ 1 ? ported seriously sick. Just before closing our forms we learn that a rumor is afloat to the effect that a company composed of a number of our citizens will in a short time convert the old White warehouse, near the depot, into a knitting mill. Since hearing the report we have been unable to see any of the parties who are said to be interested in the new enterprise and cannot verify the rumor.

Through the efforts of the Commercial Club it is now a certainty that the long needed iron bridge over Sugar creek will be built within the next few months. Supervisor Boyd of this county came over Friday and with a number of club members and citizens went out to the Bailes bridge, where they were met by the supervisor of Lancaster and a number of residents of Pleasant Valley who are interested in the project. The bridge matter was at once taken up and the supervisors explained what their respective counties were willing to do, while a representative of the : Commercial club guaranteed $400 ! in voluntary subscription by the 1 people of Fort Mill to hpln hnilH ! the bridge. This offer was accepted and it was decided to build the structure, each county to bear equal amounts of the balance of cost. It is thought that a substantial iron bridge can be put up at a cost of $2,000 or $2,500. The present site of the bridge was not considered a desirable point for the new bridge and the creek banks were inspected for J several hundred yards each way. j A point about 75 yards above the old bridge was finally decided upon. At this point there is a big hill on the York side of the creek which slopes gradually to the waters' edge and is an ideal landing place. On the Lancaster side tnere is a rise of about 20 feet which is also an excellent landing place. The bridge proper will consist of two spans, 76 feet each in length, and will be similar to the Culp bridge over Catawba river. Long wooden approaches will be built at either end of the bridge and the entire structure will be erected at a heighth above the water that will make it accessible at all times. The building of the bridge at this point will necessitate the changing of the road this side of the creek, but j it is figured that a much better road, with fewer hills, can be built than that leading- to the present bridge. One big advantage with the new site is that there is an abundance of rock on the spot and these will be used to a great extent in the approaches to the bridge and the new road. Supervisor Boyd informed a Times reporter that the county chaingang will visit Fort Mill township early in the spring and will put the Sugar creek road in first class shape. Power Compony Boys More Lead. The public will be interested in the sale of the old General Neal farm in Steele Creek township. This farm consists of more than 500 acres and it has on it a splendid waterfall. The purchase was made by the Southern Power Company, the consideration being $17,000 which amount is more than double the price Mr. Davis, the owner, paid for it. The Southern Power Company also bought Sam. S. Smith's place containing .110 acres, the purchase price being $18 per acre. In this immediate locality Mr. H. L. Wright sold to the Power Company a farm at $25 per acre. Along with purchase of these valuable farms comes the rumor that the power company will build a plant at the General Neal mill place at which point; +V,;o ? .?1 ~?I:J *?

One writer ' tells that the ancient Chinese banknotes were in many respects ; similar to those of the present j day, bearing the name of the bank, the date of issue, the number of the note, the signature of the official who issued it, and its value, in both figures and words. On the top of these curious notes was the following philosophic injunction: "Produce all you can; spend with economy." The first snow of the season fell yesterday afternoon.
