Our attention has been called to an advertising envelope which the town of Fort Mill has issued. On the front are. views of Confederate nark, the electric nhint. of the Southern Power company on the Catawba river, and a street scene showing the paved streets and electric lighting fixtures and also a cut of the new $14,000 school building. In large letters at the top, "Fort Mill, S. C." is conspicuously displayed. In the upper left hand corner is a blank space to be filled by the firm using the envelope. On the back is printed matter setting forth the advantages of the town. At the bottom in large letters are the words "We want you." The job was done by The Times Print, Fort Mill, and is a fine specimen of work. Wherever letters go in this envelope, east west, north, or south, sent out by all the business firms of the town attention will be called' to the town in a way to make a pleasing impression. This is what one wide-awake town is doing to advertise its advantages, and it is growing too. We commend the enterprising spirit which does such things to our citizens as being worthy of emulation. A Plenty of People. I tarnweli. i Vople. According to a condensed report, given out last week, of the cense, taken last summer. South Carolina has a larger population to the square milethiui any other Southern State, with the single exception of Virginia. In this State the average population to the square mile is 49.7.
