their taxes later.

we have been unable to see any
of the parties who are said to be
interested in the new enterprise

Will Build an Iron Bridge.
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;

The oldest banknotes in the
world are the "flying money," or
convenient money, first issued in :
China in 2697 B. C. 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
