As the result of the appearance near

large number of our people have had
the vaccine points applied to their arms

his bringing the disease here.

Joe MoCaj-ver, a 13-year-pld boy

upon him by a dog supposed to
have had rabies. The boy with several
Companions was playing near his home
when the dog, a pet of the family, attacked
him, Young McCarver made a
<d# operate effort to beat the dog off, but
was .unable to do so until he had been
bitten several times on the left arm
and shoulder, A party passing the
McCarver home shot and killed the .dog
shortly after it had bitten the boy. Dr,
J. JB. Elliott dressed the wounds and
the young man went to Charlotte Sum
day evening to the mad stone.
Main Street Building Up.
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

Found Dead Under Trestle.
The body of a negro man whose
name has not been learned was found
under the Southern Railway trestle

who had gone under the trestle to dear
a way some trash that had washed
against one of the pillars. The body
was considerably mutilated, one of the
legs being cut off, and it was the
opinion of those who viewed it that
the man had been struck by a passing
train and knocked off the trestle. The
coroner of Mecklenburg county held an
i nqueat over the body on Friday.

Commissioner Watson estimates the
present corn crop of the State at 10,000,000
bushels ahead of last year's,
crop, which was 10,000,000 bushels
atieftd of the two previous years. In
other words, the corn production of the
State has increased 20,000,000 bushels
in three years, this year's prop being
placed at 40,000,000 bushels.
