Along with every other! profession or business the doc- i j tors find that on account of the greatly increased cost of living i and the much higher price of the ! necessary supplies for their j work, the old rates charged are too low and a new and somewhat ! higher rate is to be in force in | the future. Messrs VV. B. Meacham and T. B. Spratt, of the board of trustees of the Fort Mill school, went to Columbia this morning to appear before the York delegation in the general assembly in an effort to arrange for free schooling for the pupils of the school. It is the purpose of the school board to have a portion of the tax now being paid on the school house bonds transferred to the fund for ordinary school purposes, and if this can be done no further collection of fees from the Din i!s will be nec essary. To The Public. We, the physiqians of Fort Mill, in consultation believe that Fort Mill and the vicinity demand the services of three medical men, since three have practiced here for the past 23 years. Now, owing to the high cost of living, we have been unable to make a living for the past two or three years and conclude the only remedy is to raise the price of our services to the sagne fees as the physicians of surrounding towns, viz: For visits in town $1.60 Outside town limit up to 2 miles.. 2.00 For each additional mile above 2 .50 For night calls, extra 1.00 Obstreticftl cases $15 and upward. Moreover, we agree to send statements monthly for our services the same as other business men. All delinquents are urged to settle their accounts at once. Those who cannot pay will be pluced on the charity list. Those who will not will be placed on another 1st. These changes in fees to take effect on the first of February, 1916. J. B. Elliott, M. D. T.
