Convicted and fined $10 in Mayor Patterson's court Tuesday night, Jesse W. Norman, proprietor of Norman's Cafe, served notice of appeal to the higher court.

Sam White, colored, a resident of the "Paradise" section of the town, lost his home and household effects by fire Thursday morning. White and his family had left a fire in the house and in their absence it is supposed that the tire rolled out in the floor and caused the conflagration. The fire company responded promptly, but the house was located beyond the reach of the water systemCharged with transporting whiskey, Morrow Patton and Will McClain, two Steel Creek negroes, Saturday were required to each put up cash bond of $25, , and when they failed to show up Monday for trial the bonds were declared forfeited. Other offenders during Saturday and Sunday contributed various amounts to the town's coffer, the aggregate amount of fines collected being about $90.

Will Build Another Mill. Preparatory work for the building of the big addition to mill No. 1 of the Fort Mill Manufacturing Company was started Monday morning, the contract for the erection of the building having been given to J. A. Gardner of Charlotte. This building will occupy the space just in front of the present weave shed and will be 272 feet long by 101 feet wide of onestory and, when completed, will contain 850 gingham looms. To supply the yarn necessary for the operation of these looms the spinning room will be run with a night shift of hands , until a further addition to the plant is made to contain carding and spinning machinery sufficient to produce the necessary yarn without night work. This addition will probably be begun as soon as the new weave shed is completed. To provide space for the new weave shed it was necessary to! tear down the present office j building and the offices will temporarily occupy a tenant house near the mill until a new office building can be erected down White street about 350 feet from the present building. The work which has been pro-1 t% . - ? 1 gressing ior some time on the addition to mill No. 2 is almost completed and the installation of machinery will soon begin. Twenty-five tenant houses which have been under construction for the company by the Fort Mill Lumber company are almost completed and will be ready for occupancy soon by additional operatives acquired. Chamber Had Profitable Meeting. Several officers and members of the Rock Hill Chamber of Commerce came over Friday night to meet with the local Chamber of Commerce at an adjourned meeting called for the purpose of completing the organization. These men were in..:?^e? *u? -c - - vncu iui me purpuse 01 assisting in the perfecting of the local organization and the first speaker introduced by the president was J. T. Fain who delivered an excellent address upon the theme of the true spirit of cooperation in the upbuilding of the town and community. He was followed in turn by J. W. O'Neal, Alex Long, Ira B. Dunlap, J. W. Bynum and J. B. Johnson in short addresses replete with good advice from their store of actual experience. All of the speeches were attentively listened tc and the speakers heartily applauded. The business of the evening was then concluded by the adoption of a constitution and by-laws and the enrollment'of members. During the evening the members and their guests were! served with coffee, sandwiches j and cigars. $12 Flour in Sight. With the advance of flour another 50 cents a barrel Saturday, thereby bringing the cur-1 rent wholesale quotation to $9.50, which means that the retail price runs around $10 a barrel, another step was taken in the direction of $12 a barrel flour which has been freely predicted for some time past, says the Charlotte Observer. This advance of flour has been spectacular but not any more so than a score of other important items in the general list. Comnonnd lsirrl lo i?i o ~?* <? ~ ! ?m> u 10 X U l"^i CCIIld <1 ; pound in big lots and other goods in proportion. Canned goods! are likewise up and almost every-1 thing else that might be men-1 tioned. Indeed the belief is generally entertained by the. better posted jobbers that lard and other items will not be reduced until another cotton crop has been harvested and another i supply of hogs have been raised. Wheat is now $2 a bushel delivered which is the highest level in the knowledge of the oldest inhabitants. THE FORT NOTICE OF ELECTION. State of South Carolina, Coun ty of York.
