L. Carothers. For lack of a , room for his shop Mr. Carothers ; has been conducting his barber shop in a small room over Belk's store for several months, but on Friday he moved to the lower room of the Jones building and has there fitted up a handsome tonsorial parlor. He will doubt- j less realize a sharp increase in his business since he has secured such a good location. ? Next Monday afternoon, the, 15th, the Fort Mill Light Infantry | under command of Capt. T.

The men of the local company have been drilling regularly for the past six weeks, and the officers are confident that the company will pass the best inspection yet held. ?Surveyor H. E. White, assisted by several young men, has been busy for the past week making a survey of Fort Mill for the purpose of getting up a map of the town. The law under which the new charter of the town will be issued requires that to'vns of from 1,000 to 5,000 population shall be divided into wards, and as this was not heretofore done, the survey is necessary. The town will be divided into four; wards, and a warden will be elected from each, besides there will be two wardens at large and the intendant, making a council of seven members, whereas, at preeent there are only ftve- v tnmoior wulth. **T)m prlco oC health in a malarious W ^ BKftornf of A box of L>r.

Simpson, of this city, has received an invitation to de- j liver the famous clinic that he delivered at Chicago before the International Dental Congress, which meets at Norfolk on September 10. Dr. Simpson will accept the invitation. The hall of the Curry Literary Society at Winthrop is undergoing refinishing and re-furnishing throughout. The walls have been tastefully papered in shades of purple and dull green, and an inlaid hardwood floor and handsome opera chairs will make it one of the most attractive society rooms in the State. Mr. Woods M. Steele, of our city, has bought the noted Steele Mineral Spring near the city and formerly operated by his father, the late Capt. John Steele, and will put same in firstclass condition and supply a l demands for water. This celebrated spring was discovered by the Catawba Indians 100 or more years ago and is noted for its fine medicinal properties. As will be seen in another column, a meeting of the stockholders of the Victoria Mill has been called for Monday, April 29, for the purpose of increasing the capital stock of the company from $75,000 to a minimum of $100,000, with the privilege of a maximum of $150,000. The mill is a flourishing institution and will doubtless soon be enlarged. Mr. W. R. Smythe, of the Palace Market, had the misfortune Saturday afternoon to get his thumb caught in the bone mill and getting part of it cut off. Mr. Beaufort. Sturgis, who lives about two miles west of Rock Hill, heard quite a disturbance on his place Sunday morr ing about 2 o'clock and got up nnrl r?v*f Kic i>ictnl ?*-*#! a/%/1 uuu mo j/ikiM/i Uii'l JM WLCCU'CVA to see what was the matter. lie found that one Fred Harnett, who has an unsavory reputation (havthe record of having been sh; t twice), had been beating his wife and had chased her from their house, and was still after her about 100 yards from the house with a knife in his hand, as though he was goir.g to do mu der. Mr. Sturgis remonstrated with him and tried to get him tc j let the woman alone, whereupon : Harnett turned upon him with I the knife and the woman told ?*lr. Sturgis to look out, that Harnett had a razor, and Mr. Sturgis, then, in order to defend himself, shot Harnett twice, the b'lis taking effect -one in th( side and one in the chest. Dr, Fennell was called and fount that the wounds were fatal anc the negro died about 12 o'cloct Monday morning. Mr. Sturgi! came to the city this morninj and surrendered.

The Great Falls station of the Southern Povsyefr Company is complete and ready for service. The water was turned into the big dam ten days agq and the machinery set to work, Since thfen j the engineers have been busy) making minor repairs and, changes incident to the commencement of active operations this week. . The normal output of the plant is 32,000 of electrical horse power. The current generated at the station will be transmitted to the Catawba station 32 miles distant. Branch lines will connect with the manufacturing centers and the current distributed over a wide area. TVio rJomnnrl ic JL tiv VIV^I IIUUVI IO UU VCtUJ VI* Wi than the supply. It has been j officially stated that the entire j output, with the exception of a few thousand horse power for special purposes, has already i been sold. Such a call has there been, that two other power sites are now in process of development. These are at the Ninety Nine Islands, nearGaffney, S. C., ! on the Broad river, and at Rocky Creek, near the Great Falls station, on the Catawba river. Their combined output when finished will be approximately 50,000 of electrical horse j>ower. Should those who visited the site of the Great Falls development six months ago return there now, they would he startled , with the change that has been wrought. Instead of a lonely | stretch of landscape dotted with scrubby trees and straggling bushes, and an immense wall of concrete and rock standing all by 1 itself between two great hills, an immense body of water, as clear as crystal and as beautiful j as a picture, would greet them. ; T ? ?x J / iV 1 i instead 01 me areary and monotonous clang of the steel hammers, nothing more than the lapping of the waves upon the i dam could be heard. Where heretofore there has been nothing more than a lifeiess waste there is now a park for beauty ' hardly surpassed anywhere in the country.

I the turbines and dynamos, every j ! revolution of which means the i accession of additional wealth to I | the industrial forces of the Sonth. j Those who visited the Great Falls I station while the work was in i progress should certainly make a second trip to see it complete. The development represents an expenditure of about $1,500,- j 000. Those authority assert that this power is the most economij cal in America, Niagara included. Twin steel towers, approxii mately 35 feet in heighth and 420 feet apart, carry the cables which transmit the current from Great Falls to the Catawba station. This line has been finished and the cables are ready for the current at any moment.?Charlotte Observer. ?

Ten years is a very long time for a paint to wear; and five isn't short.
