1? Railroad officials
report circulated that after June

the 1,000 mileage books in South- 5
eastern territory. These books 3
are now sold at a rate of 2 cents 1
f per mile and according to the 1

Bonds Carry by Big Majority.
Fort Mill is to have a new \
$10,000 public school building. ^
This decision was reached in an *
election held Tuesday upon the *
subject, when 52 votes were f
cast for the bonds and 2 against
them. I
The light vote in Tuesday's t
election was due in part to the ^
heavy rain in the afternoon and ! ^
I in part to the fact that it seemed ! *
a foregone conclusion that the ?
I proposition would carry bv a
safe majority and that the few *3
who opposed it did no work to ^
defeat the measure.
The next step in the proceed- P
ing will be the arrangement for ! j:
floating the bonds and the I"
committee will lose no time in | "
r completing this part of the work. *
. It is hoped to get everything a
in readiness as early as possible
and to begin work on the building
5 in ample time to complete it beJ
fore tne next school term begins 0
in September.

I whose home was iust over the t
State line north of Fort Mill, died f
l Saturday night, after an illness ^
of only three days of pneumonia. 0
Mr. Wilson was about 45 years of
age and was never married. A
mother and brother survive. s
s
1 News was received here Tues- h

Chas. Blackwelder, a well known t

1 Mr. Blackwelder, also, had been,

Eclipse of the Moon.
A total eclipse of the moon ?=
, will occur on the evening of S
Thursday, June 3rd. The phe,
nomena may be observed all over
the continent if the sky is clear.
In this section the rise of the
> moon will be almost normal and
1 the people may watch the shad- ~
ow of the earth gradually steal I
over the lunar body. But fur!
ther in the continent, probably 1
: on the other side of the Missis- A
1 sippi, the inhabitants will first _
see an odd looking disc of a j
- faint reddish color rise from the
east.
When the moon rises here only ;
a narrow portion of it will be ob- f
served. Gradually it will enter
. deeper and deeper into the earth's
. shadow until the moon gives no
light and is only barely perceptible.
> This year the moon does not
? enter into the heart of the
earth's shadow, so there will not Z
j be a black eclipse. The moon, I
however, will be in the earth's ,
! shadow for over an hour, and 1
practically the only light from
> the heavens will be that of the
' stars.

Riggs and Logue Pardoned.
Fort Mill people were somef
what surprised to read in Mon1
day's afternoon papers that Gov.
Kitchin of North Carolina had
granted pardons to Riggs and
r Logue, two notorious crooks who
- were serving terms on the Meck[
lenburg roads. The grounds up?
on which Gov. Kitchin granted
[ the pardons were not stated.
I rill f? ?l. _ i ? >

, and Logue were sent up is well
| remembered by Fort Millians.
I On a Sunday about two years
i ago Riggs and I^ogue went to
> the rear of the First Presbyterian
church of Charlotte and during
the service, stole the horse and
) buggy of a Mr. Dotger. The
t team was driven to Fort Mill in
i the evening and left on Clebourn
street. During the night the
. horse wandered to Sugar creek
> near Barber's bridge and was
> found the next morning in a bog
i! with the buggy securely wedged
i between two trees. Riggs and
j Logue boarded a train here and
I I went to Columbia, where they
t were captured and taken back

Lonely Sea Spot*.
It is said that there are deserts
n the ocean as well as on the
[ry land?vast wastes upon
vhich the eye of man has never
ested and which have seldom if
iver been crossed by the ships
f commerce. The waves of
hese wastes have never been
>arted by the prow of a sailing
'essel, or lashed by the propeller
f a steamer; immense solitudes
vhere the flap of a sail is never
leard nor the strident cry of
iren; veritable deserts, whose
ilence is broken only by the
lowling of the wind and the
oar of the waves, which have
>een vainly pursuing one another
ince the day of creation.
These deserts lie forgotten bewixt
the narrow ocean highways
raveled by vessels. In such
vaste places of the sea a disabled
hip, driven out of its course by
hurricane, may drift for
nonths, tossed by the ceaseless
round swell, without being able
o hail assistance. Her only 1
hance of egfcape is the possitility
that somo ocean current
nay drag her into a more freluented
region.
