Officers of the local military organization have received from the adjutant general's olhce an invitation to attend the Southern Commercial congress at Charleston December 13th to 17th. It is not likely, however, that the comDanv will attend, since no provision is made to pay the men for the'time they would lose from their work, aside from the fact that it has been only a few months since the company spent several days at the annual encampment on the Isle of Palms. Next Tuesday, the Oth, marks the first anniversary of the L>iy? fire which Swept away three of the largest mercantile houses of Fort Mill and destroyed property afnounti ng to some $20,000, During the year that has elapsed since that memorable night, hewever, the spirit of progress has been steadily at work and ^ today there stands on this burned ^ area three as handsome store^ rooms as one will find ^in any town of equal size in the State. And what's equally good, these buildings are crowded full of new goods consisting of almost anything one could 4)uy in a much larger town. C. T.

Of interest to the general public. and especially to the taxj payers of the town, is the statement of the Public Works commission published on page 4 of this week's Times.

According to a Fort Mill press correspondent, an elfort is being made here to have the Southern Railway officials designate Fort Mill as a regular stop for passenger trains Nos. 31 and 32, instead of a liag stop as at present.
