?As will be seen by notice
elsewhere, an election will be
held in the town hall next Tuesday
to name a member of council
from Ward 4. This vacancy was
caused by the removal of Mr.
W. M. Culp, former councilman,
to another ward, and the election
is to name his successor. It will
also be noticed that only qualified
electors from said ward will be
entitled to vote in the election.
--County Supervisor Gordon,
accompanied by County Engineer
Laws, visited Barber's bridge in
this township Friday and were
met there by the supervisor- of
Lancaster county, the object of
the meeting being to agree upon
the rebuilding or repairing of the
bridge. 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.
The senate committee on
privileges and elections has reported
that there are certain
vacancies to be filled and a resolution
has been introduced to
hold these elections today. Tho
i'udges whose terms expire are:
). E. Hydrick, Seventh circuit;
R. W. Meraminger, Ninth circuit;
Geo. E. Prince, Tenth circuit;
Ernest Gary, Fifth circuit.

several months ago. The new
proprietors are Mr. J. R. Hans,
a well-known business man of
the town, and Dr. J. B. Elliott,
one of the town's popular
physicians. The new firm will
carry a complete stock of drugs,
medicines, toilet articles, etc.,
and will make a specialty of
prescription work. The Meacham
stand is one of the best in Fort
Mill and the new concern will
doubtless receive a liberal share
of the public patronage,

?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.

to succeed Mr. Rob Grier, who
was president for the month of
January.

' 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.

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.

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.
