the home of J. S. Potts, to the
plant of the Fort Mill Mfg. com-1

there has been little frost
throughout this section has been
worth thousands of dollars to
the farmers. Much of the cotton

some of the farmers are harvesting
a much larger crop than
they were counting on.

Yes, "49" Was Here.
Nader's Greater Shows, a carnival
company, exhibited on the
local ball lot the last four days
of last week, the attendance at
each show being reported as only
fair. The carnival consisted of
five shows and numerous "eon.
cessions," and the show which
seemed to attract the most attention
and which was given the
major portion of the patronage
was that known as "Camp 49."
This show consisted of a half
dozen or more dancing girls all
dressed in cowgirl costumes. A
fee of 15 cents was charged to
enter the tent and once inside
the music from a piano and trap
drum started up and the dance,
such as was supposed to have
been indulged in b> the far western
settlers of 1849, began. No
charge was made for the dance,
but at the end of each "set" the
molo nonnf ti'on ? 5 4 -
?.u(v pui tiivi ivao iTi|iiirf(i 10
"See Murphy," which meant he
must put up 30 cents for a drink
of coca cola for himself and the
girl, the "sets" lasting for about
two minutes. In the crowd present
Saturday night were men of
all ages and some are said to
have been so well pleased with
the entertainment that they
were minus amounts ranging up
to $20 when the closing hour at
midnight arrived. The carnival
left Fort Mill Sunday morning
for Columbia.
Teachers' Meeting.
The Eastern division of the
York County Teachers' association

is planned to make the social
hour a pleasant and profitable
part of the meeting this session. I
THE FORT IV
Bridge Site Discussed.
The board of county commissioners
sat in Fort Mill Tuesday
as a court to hear arguments regarding
the location of the new
county bridge, which is to be 1
built across the Catawba river to '
replace the structure washed '
away in the July freshet, there
being three sites which have
been surveyed and estimates of
cost made, each of which has ]
numbers of supporters in this i
section, though the main con
tention is between the supporters (
of a bridge at the old site, known
as Fewell's ferry, and those who
wish to locate the bridge further
down the stream at a point to
connect with the Cherry road. ,
An efTort to postpone the meeting
was made by John R. Hart of
York, representing the Fewell's
ferry supporters, but was derned ,
liv thp <5iinnrvicr?v vi'hn
v,,v- " "v
County Engineer Miller to present
the surveys and estimates
of cost of the three sites which 1
varied from $32,000.00 to $42.000.
(K). the Cherry ^bridge carrying
the estimate of the lowest
cost. It was estimated that
about eight months would be
required to complete the structure
at either point. Following
this presentation the board
heard arguments favoring the
restoration of the bridge at the
old site. S. H. Epps, .1. R. Haile.
and W. M. Carothers presenting
that side of the question upon
inquiry by John R. Hart, and
were followed by W. B. Meacham,
II. H. White and S. George
Moore, the latter two from Rock
Hill, who favored the Cherry
site. Arguments were then
made by John R. Hart in favor
of the Fewell site and W. B.
Wilson, Jr., and B. Jennings
White, both of Rock Hill, in
favor of the Cherry site and the
supervisor announced that de-i
cision would later he made by
the hoard as to where the bridge
shall be located. In presenting
his case Mr. Wilson produced a
letter f rom .1 M Cherrv of
Rock Hill in which he stated that
he would donate his road to the
county if the bridge were located
at the end of his road. This
road which is the private property
of Mr. Cherry is thirty feet
wide, almost level and in a direct
line to Rock Hill, costing the,
owner to construct the sum of'
$10,000.00. The county is expected
to surface the road if
accepted and the material necessary
to macadam it is now along
the road and is also included in
Mr. Cherry's donation. Mr. j
Wilson also presented a gift of j
the right of way on this side of
the river from the owners of the
property through which the new
road will pass, and petitions asking
for the location of the bridge
at this point signed by 1,100
citizens. The meeting was held
in the Majestic Theatre and was
attended by about 200 people.
School Paper to Be Issued.
The high school pupils of the
local school will within the next
few weeks issue the first number
of their paper. Supt. J. I).
Fulp, realizing the valuable help
to be derived by the English
ftuxiuiuis lium mxi:ii a venture nas
urged the publication of a school
paper which will appear just as
often as finances and circumstances
warrant. It is needless
to add that all of the patrons of
the school will tind many items
of vital interest to them in the
sheet and the publishers are expecting
a hearty response from
the advertising firms and the
public at large in making the
paper self sustaining. The
board of editors and rates will
be made public in a few days.
Much Interest Taken in Contest.
A friend of the local graded
school has offered a prize of five
dollars in gold to be awarded to j
the hicrh school nunil submitting
by April 1. 11*17. the best history
of Fort Mill from its beginning!
to the year 1917. The papers
will be numbered and submitted
to an impartial committee of
judges who will decide upon the 1
winner. The general tone of
the article with the originality
will be the main points to be
decided upon. Kach of the,
papers submitted must be type-.
written and as neat as possible.
It is thought that not less than
20 papers will be submitted.
When Mark Twain was editor
of a weekly newspaper or.e of j
his subscribers wrote him that
he had found a spider in his
paper when it reached him and
inquired whether it was a sign
of good luck. The noted humorist
replied that the spider was
simply looking over the paper
to see which merchants wcri- nnt
advertising so he could visit
them, spin a web across their
door and live contented ever i
afterward. - Kx.
