Of more than passing interest to the people of Fort Mill and] Rock Hill was an article printed in the Charlotte Observer Tuesday morning telling of the development of the electric railway of the Piedmont and Northern company. It is not unlikely, according to The Observer, that the time is not far distant when the lines of the Piedmont company will -be extended south from Charlotte, touching in all probability, Pineville, Fort Mill, Grattan and Rock Hill. It is believed by some who are well informed on the general situation that the developments now under way around Charlotte mark the beginning of an extension of the lines to Rock Hill.

It is interesting to recall in connection with the annual Tir7an urtiinli io 1?1-1 ..V... ,/.v.uv TTIIIVH 10 IICIU today that something like a score of years ago this was one of the most widely advertised and largest gatherings of the kind held anywhere in South Carolina. It was here that Senator Tillman is said to nave made his first political speech, in the latter '80s, and for several years following that incident public men \ of more or less prominence in the State, especially those who were interested in the success of the Farmers' Alliance, made it convenient to attend the pic- > nics. These picnics are still a matter of county-wide interest, but it caunot be said that as great crowds or as much general , interest attaches to them as1 formerly.
