Attention is called to the notice
in another column in which
a new set of rates per visit is
given by the physicians of the |

profession or business the doc- i
j tors find that on account of the

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.
