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. The same rule ap-;

comply with the order requires considerable
extra work and time and for
this reason Postmaster Massey of the
local office request- patrons of his office
to post mail matter as far ahead of the
hours of closing the mails as convenient.
Mr. Massey also asks the
public to bear with him in the additional
time required in opening the
mails resulting from the counting and
weighing of the matter.

Darn ana 3ioctt ournea.
B. M. 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

"1 am herewith inclosing you order
blanks that you may ascertain at once

non-commissioned officers and privates.
