The fountain itself is | one of the "swellest" things ever installed iu Fort Mill. One of the features o^ it is that the dispenser always faces his customer. To make it more sanitary a drainage system is installed beneath the fountain which carries all refuse into the back lot. The marble counter in front [ makes one feel that he isv being | served from an up-to-date city fountain. The fountain was purchased from the Liquid Carbonic Co. of Chicago at a cost of about $1500. Such improvements will help the firm both at home and abroad. Prompt service and satisfactory work at reasonable prices is what you get at Young's shop.?Adv. Lost His Liquor. I Limas McCullough, a negro: man who runs a store, and ; evidently a blind-tiger in con- j nection therewith, near Winthrop ; College on the outskirts of Rock Hill, was roped in by Officer Potts a few nights ago. Limas was on his return from Salisbury and when he alighted from train No. 2D with a heavy suit case and a two-gallon jug the officer placed him under arrest. Examination revealed the fact that Limas possessed seven gal- | Ions, one quart, one half pint of whiskey; also a revolver. The negro was held for trial upon the charge of transporting and carrying a concealed weapon and, upon conviction, was fined $50, which, after considerable trouble, , was raised and he was released. This will probably be McCullough's last attempt to land his booze in Fort Mill. If it's made of iron and it's out of shape, take it to Young's , shop. ? Adv. Every Farmer Should Attend. Next Saturday, the 27th, is the day the Clemson agricultural exhibit car will be here, and also the day of the big institute and farmers picnic in Pleasant Valley.

It appears that Mr. Ally and two companions were taking a swim in the reservoir, one of them a boy only about 14 years old, when he was either seized with cramps or got strangled. His companions saw him strug gling in the water and the older of the two went to his rescue and made a desperate effort to save the drowning man, but was unable to be of any assistance. The alarm was given immediately but help did not arrive in time to save the man and his body was not recovered until the reservoir was partly drained off. Mr. Ally was 24 years old and was a quiet and steady working young man. He has two brothers in Rock Hill, one at the Arcade and one at the Aragon mill. His mother lives in the Yorkville neighborhood. The funeral services were conducted in the Arcade mill village Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. Mr. Gibson and the interment Avas made in Laurelwood cemetery. The deceased was a member of Walnut Camp W. O. W. in which order he carried $1,000 life insurance. He was buried by members of Walnut Camp and Supt. Adams closed the mill from 2 to 4 p. m. in order to give all the operatives an opportunity to to attend the services. ?At a meeting of the Catawba Rifles, Co.

The two trees were connected by a clothes wire and it was thR wire that carried the bolt to the mules. 4 Yorkville Now Era. ?Mr. J. S.
