County Auditor Hunter arrived : in Fort Mill this (Wednesday) i morning and will be here through < Saturday for the purpose of list- i ing the taxable property of this j township. There is a penalty i for failure to make a return, and j none should fail to attend to this matter. Some Fine Timber. Mr. J. J. Bailes, who is operating a big saw mill plant on his plantation 4 miles east of Fort < Mill, undoubtedly possesses some i of the finest timber in this section. In cutting timber for his < mill a few days ago, Mr. Bailes i says that he cut from one tree i seven saw logs measuring twelve i feet each in length. There are a large number of fine trees in Mr. Bailes' woods, and some of them, he believes, are even larger than the tree in question. Boys Electrical Equipment. A large contract for electrical apparatus for the Chester and , Lancaster cotton mills was a few 1 days ago awarded to the Westinghouse Electrical Company by Col. Leroy Springs, who "controlls , the mills. The contract calls for a large number of electric motors, consisting of about 3,000 horse-power in appliances of various sizes. The Southern Power Company some time ago contracted to furnish the power necessary to run the mills. Woodmen Affairs. The regular monthly meeting of White Oak Camp, W. O.

Eason was chosen as representative, with Sovereign W. P. Cray ton as alternate. Tree Planting Time. : This is the time of year for planting shade trees and it would be well for those planting the trees to place them iust inside their property a few feet Trees planted on the edge of the side-1 walk arc in the way of the piles and telephone lines. Trees planted just outside the fence; obstruct the sidewalk and are in the way of pedestrians. Thus it1 will be seen that is much better! to plant the trees just inside the *r fence. This gives the necessary shade and makes everything j much better for everyone.

The latest addition to y the plant is a big steam shovel C which will be used in loading dirt ^ on the cars, and which it is b stated will do the work of a L dozen men. The shovel is a very ^ costly piece of machinery, but in % saving of time and cost of hand ^ labor, the makers claim it will d soon repay the cost of installing o it. Looted a Show Car. Officer Jas.

(By Prof. BauUnight ) The Fort Mill graded and high school opened up very favorably on Jan. 4. Although the mills had started yp and had taken 3ome of our pupils from school, yet a sufficient number came in i to take their -places and to increase our number considerably, 1 too.
