F6RT MILL'S PROSPECTS.
It is doubtful whether there is
another small city in South Carolina
Which will enter the new year with
Utjghtor prospects of a substantial,
steady growth than Fort Mill. During
the year which is now drawing to a
close there have been many evidences
of the progressive spirit which has all
along been here but which, unfortunately
for the growth of the town, has been
dormant. Now that there is a general |
awakening to a recognition of the fact :
that the future is fraught with great .
possibilities for the town, there is no 1
I reason to doubt that the year 1910 will
| show more marked improvements than
i any one year aince the vilin.r,. ?f Vnrt
I Mill wasincorporated .something more
! than 30 yr?ars ago. r.
i The year 1909 has been the most
| prosperous year in the town's history,
as is indicated by the building activity
and the increased cost of real estate. I
Not one failure of any kind has been '
recorded, and without exception the ;
merchants have had the largest trade j
and made the best collections in the
history of their various businesses. The !
deposits in the local bank and other |
\ banks which are patronized by citizens
; of this section have been larger than
heretofore and the freight receipts at
the Southern depot have been 50 per
cent, greater for the year than in any
previous year. The mail matter
handled at the local postofficc has also I
exceeded in volume the outgoing and
incoming mails of any year in the past,
and the local cotton mills are said to
have had a fairly prosperous year,
notwithstanding the high price of raw
cotton and the comparatively low price
of the finished product which they
manufacture. There were more live
stock, buggies, wagons and farm implements
sold here during the year
than in any two years of the past. The
hotels have enjoyed a good patronage
as have the livery stabies. And the
farmers, upon whom the town depends
in no small degree for its prosperity, I
have had an unusually prosperous year
with the cotton crop selling a greater ;
part of the marketing season beyond
13 cents..
Hut evidences of the growth and
prosperity of Fort Mill are not to be
found only in the business enterprises
of the town. There has been a material
awakening all along the line, and in no
way is this better illustrated than in
the municipal improvements that have
been made by the council during the
last twelvemonth. Where formerly
there were muddy sidewalks for the
peupie co wiiik upon one now finds
splendid concrete paving extending
over more than a mile of the town's
sidewalks. And this work of civic improvement
is yet in its infancy, for
regardless of the result of the election
to be held for city officers within two
weeks, the people wish the concrete
paving continued until it covers all the
principal sidewalks and will not look
with favor upon a discontinuance of
the work, now that they know of the
convenience and comfort which it
affords.
With the coming of the new municipal
government it is confidently believed
that steps will be taken at once to
better the sanitary conditions of the
town. Fort Mill needs a scavenger
department whose duty it will lie to
see that the premises of every home in
the municipality are cleaned at least
once a week. JThis department of the
city government can he established at
Brnall cost to the individual housekeeper
and will greatly promote the health of
the community.
By the opening of the next fall session
of the graded school the trustees
promise to have the new school building
completed and ready for occupancy.
Ten thousand dollars was voted in
bonds for this purpose hist April. The
new building will mean a marked advance
in the town's educational facilities.
The present building has long
since outlived its day of usefulness anil ,
the voters were wise in providing the
funds necessary to erect a modern '
building for the school's needs.
The year 1910 is full of promise for i
Fort Mill.
