The State board of health has written to the local board of health and the city ' physician asking that they urge a!! the people in this city to make free use of lime and disinfectants on their premises. ! j i^ime is especially recommenaeu as 11 is as good a method of killing germs as is I known. You may think that vour premises are free of all germs but there ' may be another thought coming to you. ' Buy a barrel of lime today and use it freely all over the premises and especially in the out buildings. This will undoubtedly save some family from sickness this summer. A postoflice order effective last Monday and continuing until June 1 requires that postmasters- throughout the country count and weigh each piece of mail matter handled.

Lee, a young farmer of lower Fort Mill township, had the misfortune Friday night about 10 o'clock to lose his barn And stock, two mules and a cow, by fire. The fire was supposed to have been of incendiary origin and when discovered had made such headway that it was impossible to check the flames or remove any of the contents of the building. The barn was practically new, having been built about-two years ago. On this there was $150 insurance, but it is understood there was no insurance on the mules. Up to the present time there is no clue as to who fired the barn. Mr. Lee only a short time ago returned to Fort Mill from the West, and this loss, coming as it did just after he had equipped himself for the year's work, fails very heavily upon him. Marching Shoes for Militia. ('apt. T. B. Spratt of the Fort Mill Light Infantry has received from Adjutant General \V. W. Moore tic following letter: "1 am herewith inclosing you order blanks that you may ascertain at once and report to me proinj tly, accurately described upon tin- u closed card, both size ami width of marching shoes desired to < quip your command, and only such members as are now actively engaged with your company.
