It Jooka now as if it would be only a' short time until every vacant building lot on Main street was built up with nice brick husinejw linnnsa rtunnn the past few months there have been quite a number of changes in the ownership of Main street lots and it is but to be expected that the new owners acquired the lots witj} the view of improving them. The latest movemeq? in this direction jvas the awarding of a contract Monday to Mr. Z. V. Bradford for the erection of two handsome store rooms on the Davidson lot on Main street. This valuable piece of realty, it will be recalled, was purchased recently by Dr. J. B. Mack for the estate of the late T. B. Belk, and lies to the south side of the street. There are on the lot four business sites, but only two will be improved at present. The new buildings are to be only one story high but the walls are to be of sufficient thickness to support an upper story which will likely be added in the near future. The rooms will be 60 and 80 feet in depth and about 30 feet wide. The fronts of each are to be of pressed brick of handsome design with plate glass doors and windows. The rooms will be thrown together at the rear by a large arch, while the interiors are to be finished up in the latest style. The new stores are to be occupied by McElhaney & Company, the gent's furnishers, who are now doing business on the opposite side of the street. This enterprising firm enjoys a large patronage in their line but desires to largely increase its stock and this necessitates larger quarters. When located in its new building the firm, which is capitalized at $8,000, will put fn a complete line of general merchandise thus enabling it to fully r.c-omodate its large number of patrons. Another Main street building which is being rapidly pushed to completion is that being erected by Mr. W. B. Meacham for Mr. P. H. Stallings, of New Brookland, S. C., and which will perhaps be finished by December Mr. s tailings, however, will not take 1 the building until January 1st, His line, as previously stated, will also be general merchandise. This and other buildings going on throughout the town would seem to indicate that Fort Mill in the near future is to become a business centre and a town of no mean proportions. Turkeys Very-Scarce. From current reports from rural districts there are indications of a severe turkey famine for this fall and winter and those who are laying wake of nights dreaming of the delicious turkey meal may have to get out and hustle to secure the necessary gobbler for Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas Day. Raisers of this toothsome fowl have not been as successful this season as for several years, the character of the weather at the time when the turkeys were in their infantile period being decidedly disagreeable to their frail constitutions. For this reason, full hatchings have not been brought to maturity and cn those farms where one is accustomed to find droves of turkeys, one finds only a few. This decimation of the ranks of his majesty, the gobbler, may have the effect of rushing the market price of this meat to unknown nrnnnrtinno Tf I?T? " the law of supply and demand governs the marketing of his season's turkey crop, it looks beyond doubt that the price will be high and that many who have been used to sitting down on the day of Thanksgiving or Christmas to Turkey and cranberries will have to substitute just common chicken for the delightful gobbler flesh.?Charlotte Observer. Found Dead Under Trestle. The body of a negro man whose name has not been learned was found under the Southern Railway trestle over Sugar creek, 5 miles north of Fort Mill last Thursday morning. The body was discovered by a section hand ioiri jjj OArl HI We solicit j||| ance of ABS< ill TREATMEt* || ===== I THE PI jtti .$. r i I $ >** ? $ $ <* * ; ; t *? ? ! who had gone under the trestle to dear a way some trash that had washed against one of the pillars.
