'Electric Line Through Fort Mill?
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.

The Tirzah Picnic.
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. ''
