Some of the members of town
council are not satisfied with the
recent decision of the body to
postpone the election for municipal
officers which was ordered
for Tuesday until three months
nence ana securea a special
meeting: of council Monday night
to reconsider the questipn. In
the absence of Mayor Patterson,
B. C Ferguson, mayor pro tern,
\ called the meeting: and presided.
v\After a somewhat lengthy discussion
of the situation, it was
decidecf to seek further light
from Jthe attorney general's office
as to the legality of holding
, the election at an earlier date
than April 8 as the majority of
council seem to feel that the best

Federal Aid for Streets.
Fort Mill apparently has the
opportunity of securing a considerable
sum of federal money
to aid in the building of permanent
streets. Some weeks ago
Capt. Roy Penned, State highway
engineer, stated to a citizeif
of the town that he would recommend
federal aid for Fort Mill
upon the approval of the board
of county commissioners, the
sum allotted to the town to be
deducted from the county apportionment
for^the year. It is
' estimated that perhaps as much
as $15,000 can be secured from
this source if the citizens of the
town vote a bond issue of $30,000
to be used in conjunction with
the federal aid, thus providing
H enough money to build about two
miles of permanent streets.
/~i ._ r> ^11 ~
v_/upi ttl II r u II i It-11 mn uinjf rigi rt'u
to recommend federal aid for
Fort Mill, but also said he would
come here at a time convenient
to the citizens if a meeting were
" arranged at which the proposition
can be considered in detail.
It would seem therefore
that an unusual opportunity is
" presented to the town to secure
assistance in improving the more
important streets. Not only has
Captain Peritlell agreed to come
to the assistance of Fort Mil),
but at least one member of the
^ board of county commissions has
intimated that he would agree to
the diversion of federal funds to
the town. So there apparently
remains littl^ more to be done
than for a committee of public
spirited citizens to arouse inSterest
in a bond issue to provide
the town's part of the fund for
. atreot improvements.

of which $20,000 was loaned

Resolution was adopted request!
pg the York county delegation
to put through the
Sonera) Assembly at ite present
r session an act providing tor an
election authorizing the board to
issue $20,000 worth of bonds
i?th which to complete the
3$iool 'auditorium, work on
which was begun about .nine
y months ago. The entire issue
will not be needed to complete
the auditorium, wiih its five
class rooms, however, but it is
the purpose of the board to relire
with about half of the issue
bonds of the school district sold
several years ago at a higher
rate of interest than the proposed
issue would bear.
At the session of the General
Assembly last year an election
lor a bond issue for the school
amounting to $15,000 was authorized
and subsequently approved
i t- . ' ? ?
oy ine voters ot the district. It
was.thought at time that the
old building could be remodeled
arid the auditorium constructed
with the $15,^00, but on aocount
of the advanced cost of building
material and * labor this sum
proved inadequate and the
trustees now say the auditorium
will have to be left in a half
completed state unless the proposed
bond issue is voted.

Origin of Spiritualism. 1
Like all movements that owe their
origin to our perverted religious instincts,
Spiritualism has its ^revivals and
declensions, says The Presbyterian
Standard. It had its beginning in this
country in 1848. The originators were
two little girls, Kate and Margaret
Fox, living at Hydeville,near Rochester, !
N. Y. They discovered-that they could
cra^k their big toes and make a sound
like a short sharp rap on the floor. .An
older sister. Mrs. Fish, was let into
their secret. She found that she oould
induce people to believe that the sound
was created by invisible spirits. Soon
the neighborhood was filled with great
excitement. She concluded to try the
fraud out on a large scale. She rented
a large hall in Rochester and invited a
full investigation. Strange to say, by
this time the sensation had grown until
people of great distinction were inter
oated.
The night for the exhibition saw pres- =
ent men of more than national fame,
Horace Greeley, George Bancroft, Fenimore
Cooper, William Cullen Bryant, ^
Wiiiiam M. Thackeray and women of
such note as Alice Carey and Harriet
Beecher Stowe. Physicians were Be- j
lected to investigate and report. Amon g 0
these was Austin Flint, at the head of h
the .medical profession. He and two d
others carefully scrutinized the per- *
sons of the girls while the rappings 1
