news that the new mill
will in all probability be located
on one of Colonel Spring's excellent
mill sites in Fort Mill.
?Some of our farmers are
thinking of replanting the cotton
which was damaged by the storm
Friday night, and, while discussing
the subject yesterday, one of
the township's largest and most
successful planters was heard to

was worth two stalks of
young cotton, especially with an
early fall such as we have been
having in recent years.

?Rev. W. A. Cleveland, of
Cartersville, Ga., has accepted a
call to the pastorate of Steele
Creek Presbyterian church, succeeding
Rev. Geo. F. Robertson,
resigned. With his family, consisting
of a wife and three children,
Rev. Mr. Robertson will
arrive to enter upon his new duties
the first Sunday in June.
The Steel Creek church is one of
the largest rural churches in the
Southern General Assembly.
?This is the proper time of
the year to begin war on mosquito^.
Old tin cans, broken bottl#
and every sort of vessel that
holds water should be gathered
up and carted off the premises.
Old barrels, tubs and jars should
not be allowed to lie about the
yard and garden. Look after
your flower pit, cellar, and in
fact, every place that is calculated
to breed mosquitoes.
?Two new cotton oil mills will
probablably be erected in this
county during the summer?one
at Clover and the other at Sharon.
Such an enterprise for Clover
is assured, the desired capital
having been subscribed, the
site selected and application!
made for certificate of incorporation.
The movement for an oil
mill at Sharon is being pushed
vigorously and little fear is entertained
but that it will meet with

?The most severe rain and
hail storm in this section for a
number of years occurred Friday
night about 11 o'clock, lasting
an hour or more. It was thought
that crops would be badly injured
but reports do not justify the
thought The hail-stones were of
small size and consequently did
little damages. In a number of
places in the township the roads
were badly washed and the small
streams that overflowed did considerable
damage to the land by
washing. Catawba river was
reported to have been higher on
Sunday than at any time since
the big freshet last year.
Mr. Branson Resigns.
Mr. C. H. Branson, who for
the oast several vpnrs VioM i
| the position of superintendent of
the two cotton mills in this place,
on Monday notified his employers
of his desire to be relieved of
the position and asked that his
successor be named at as early
a date as the mills could find a
suitable man. Just what Mr.
Branson's plans for the future
are has not been stated, but it
is not likely that he will retire
from mill work. During his
residence here Mr. Branson has
been closely identified with the I
affairs of the town and on ac-!
count of the high esteem in
whjch he is held by the people'
of Fort Mill, all will ^egret to
learn of his probable' removal
from the town.
Mr. u. M. Chance, assistant
supt. of the Millfort mill, has
! also tendered his resignation,
we are told.
