Faulkner, the well known undertaker and one of the town's oldest residents, is possessor of an excellent memory and is therefore an interesting talker upon things of the past. On last Monday Mr. Faulkner paid The Times office a pleasant call and in course of a conversation informed the reporter that it had been just 53 years ago from that date, or March 9, 1855, that almost the entire wooded lanu ana straw fields of this section were swept by lire. Mr. Faulker was living near Catawba river, north of Fort Mill, and stated that the wind gained such a high velocity that he was compelled to unhitch his mule from the plow and go home as it was impossible to keep the animal in the furrows. As another instance of the high velocity of the wind, the fire was carried across the river, igniting new fields and continuing its work of destruction. This section of the State was then under the fence law, and many miles of the then popular rail fences were destroyed by fire on that date. In this connection it may be stated that Mr. Faulkner has been a resident of Fort Mill for 50 years, havirg moved here March 1st, 1858. He says that there are none here now who were living here at that time. Card of Thanks.
