Attracted by the advertised
market price of cotton in Lancaster,
which was reported as
37 cents for middling, several
Fort Mill farmers tried to dis.
pose of their holdings there but
found upon investigation that
Fort Mill was a better market.
One of the prominent farmers
of this section had this experience
and finally disposed of 65
bales on the Fort Mill market to
his advantage.
A marriage of interest to Fort
Mill people was that in Rock

friends of the couple. Mrs.
Huey is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. T. Hey ward Merritt, and is

Some Old Documents.
While going through some old
papers a few days ago which
were the property of his father,
Mr. Jeff D. Withers, of Lower
Fort Mill, came across a copy of
the original bill introduced in the
South Carolina Legislature of
1840, pertaining to the purchase
of what is known as
"Catawba Nation," a tract of
land lying on the west side of
Catawba river about ten miles
south of Fort Mill. We quote
the first section of the bill,
which follows:
"Be it enacted by the Honorable
the Senate and House of
n .? i * ^
Representatives, now met ana
sitting in General Assembly,
and by the authority of the same.
That the agreement, executed
at the Nation Ford, on the 13th
day* of March, Anno Domini
eighteen hundred and forty, between
John Springs, D. Hutchinson,
E. Avery, B. S. Massey
and Allen Morrow, Commissioners
of this State, on the one
part, and James Kegg (General)
David Harris (Colonel) John
Joe. (Major) William George.

I the sum of five thousand dbllars,

, of the said agreement, as ap|

or engagement they may
make."
Mr. Withers also found a copy
, of the message of the president
, of the United States, Martin
Van Buren, delivered to the two
houses of the Congress on
December 2, 1839.
Another very old document
which Mr. Withers came across
was the speech on "The Oregon
