It was decided to build a new bridge and the construcion work will begin as soon as the necessary material can be secured and the weather will permit. ?The handsome home of Mr. Fred Nims, 2 miles south of town, narrowly escaped destruction by fire Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. The fire was causeO by sparks from a burning chimney fallinsr UDon the niazzA and igniting the roof. A strong wind was blowing at the time, but by heroic work members of the family succeeded in extinguishing the flames before they had made much headway. The damage to the house is probably $50, and is covered by insurance. ?There are four judges whose terms expire this year, and it is necessary for these vacancies to be filled by the present legislature.

II iSSEY. i| ?A stage gown which, according to sale marks on an attached label, was valued at $200, was found by Officer Potts in the woods north of town several days ago. The gown was hidden under a cedar bush and had evidently been concealed there for some time, as it was slightly damaged by the weather. Officer Potts is certain the gown was left there by a negro man who robbed a show car in Charlotte several weeks ago and disposed of a number of stolen articles to the colored people in this vicinity. ?That a hog could live and thrive with a ten-penny nail through its liver, seems almost incredible, yet such an occurrence has recently taken place in Fort Mill. The hog that accomplished this extraordinary feat was owned by Mr. E. W. Kimbrell and was slaughtered last Monday. The nail was old and rusty, and bore evidence of having been in this position for some time. The hog showed no signs of discomfort by reason of the nail thmno-h it? liv*?r on^ I that organ was likewise in a j Eerfectly healthy state when the og was killed. Now, the question is, how did the nail get into its very unnatural position. ?For a long, long time?so long that no one knows just how long?the ground hog has emerged from his retreat on February 2 and has taken a peep at the weather outside. If the sun is shining and hoggy sees its shadow, back it hies itself into the hole and there sta^s for six weeks longer, If, on the other hand, the day is cloudy and no shadow appears to frighten him as he makes his trial trip of inspection, he sallies forth and the back-bone of winter is broken. Now, if there be truth in the foregoing, our people may prepare for rough weather, for last Tuesday was bright and sunshiny and if for a reason the ground hog did not see his shadow it was because he failed to glance downward.

The debaters who were elected ' to represent the society in a contest during commencement are thinking over some subjects 1 for debate. It is expected that the contestants will produce some good arguments on that occasion. Miss Smith, the music teacher, is preparing a recital to be given now soon. L, M. Bauknight, Supt. TW CoMcit Day. Last Sunday was by far the coldest day of the present season. Those who ventured out early faced a gale which was traveling at about 40 miles per hour, and this, too, with the temperature at 14 degrees below freezing point. This was by 10 degrees the coldest weather to visit this section this winter. Whilp fin? mootViDi* V>nvn ...no v f/MV ff VMV11V1 HVi ,V TTAO such as to make travel very disagreeable it was, however, a great deal worse in other sections, especially in the Mississippi valley, Out there the wind was going at a rate of 60 to 70 miles per hour, and the temperature was below zero in Nebraska and around Lake Michigan and in Missouri and the Mississippi valley, ranging from zero to forty degrees helow. Ip Teanessee it was from 12 to 22 degrees below freezing. Boundary Line Dispute Settled. The report of the surveyors appointed by Governor Ansel and working under authority of an act of 1902 to survey the line between Kershaw and Lancaster counties, has just been made and submitted to the general assembly. The report is very interesting in that it points out a number of the landmarks and carries evidence of people along the road. Some of the old marks could be verified and the surveyors, after carefully making all computations and taking everything into consideration that would throw any light upon the correct boundary line, in so far as the act of 1892 allowed them, settled upon the lines as shown in their report. The main contention about the line between the counties came about in regard to the dispensary matter. Lancaster voted out the dispensary and Kershaw has not. But the town of Kershaw is largely in Lancaster county, | about two-thirds of it being over the old line. The question arose also in regard to the school funds, which came from this whiskey sale, and the dispute waxing warm the survey was ordered. As to the town of Kershaw the county line as pointed out still goes through, dividing the town, but there was no way to tell under the act exactly where the original line was. Outside work of all kinds had to be suspended Saturday on account of the high winds and the cold weather.
