As a precautionary step against 11
. a" further spread of influenza,'*
the local board of health" Wed- r
nesday night ordered that the
Fort Mill schools, church.es and
picture show be closed until conditions
show improvement.
Miss Kathleen Armstrong, who
has been teaching near Mebane,

here, her school having been
closed temporarily on account of
influenza.
Fred E. Long and Miss Ellie
Kimbrell were married Tuesday

by the pastor, Rev. J. W. H.
Dyches. Both the young people

"The influenza situation in Fort
Mill and the township has con- I
tinued to grow worse during the
last few days . scores of Deonle
being confined to their homes
with the disease, which, however,
is not as virulent as it was
during the epidemic of 1918.
If the old story that 40 days'
inclement weather follow sunshine
on "ground hog day" is
true, this section may confidently
look forward to much disagreeable
weather for several
weeks, for Monday of this week
was "ground hog day" and un- ?
less the little animal has lost his ?
K eyesight he did not fail to see ;
his shadow about 1 o'clock in the
afternoon. 1
Many Fort Mill citizens have 1
signed a petition to the State 1
railroad commission asking that *
body to grant an order directing 4
the Southern railway officials to 4
make the town a flag stop for :
train No. 32, northbound, due
here at 6:40 p. m. It is under- 1
stood that the commission will <
grant the petitioners a hearing ^
at an early date and that the 4
spokesmen for the petitioners :
will be Senators Beamguard and
Bailes and Representatives Hart t
v and Bradford. i

New Council Holds First Meeting. 4
The recently elected town coun- i
cil held its first business meeting 4
Tuesday night and organized to |
take up the affairs of the town |
by the appointment of standing |
committees, the election of a i
chief of police, clerk and treas- |
urer, attorney, the appointment <
of members to the board of \
health and other duties which <
come with a new organization. <
Five condidates offered for the J
place of chief of police of whom <
James A. Wagstaff was elected.
Council also elected two assist- '
ants, patrolmen who will serve J
principally at each of the two .<
cotton mills. B. J. White was <
elected attorney, C. S. Link clerk (
and treasurer, and the present <
board of health is composed of 4
Dr. J. B. Elliott, chairman, and 4
Dr. J. R. DesPortes, Dr. A. L. 4
Ott, Oscar T. Culp and E. L. |
Hughes. Arthur L. Parks was 2
elected mayor pro tern. The mat- ^
ter of reorganizing the fire de- 1
partment, building inspection i
and the sanitary service was giv- 4
en special attention and referred |
io commutee lor investigation 1
and report at the next meeting ?
of the council. A proposition to
concentrate the work of ceme- j
tery keeper and the supervision ]
of streets, parks and lights un- <]
der one man with an adequate
salary was well received and i
V will be reported on by the street
committee and final action taken Z
at the next meeting. The mat- \
tor of the town's finances re- \
ceived much consideration and I
after a careful study of the M
budget a resolution was adopted
requesting the York delegation J
in the General Assemblv to se- *
cure legislation authorizing an 4
increase in the levy upon real :
and personal property to 20 mills,
the limit of 10 mills effective at T
this time being inadequate. It ^
is likely also that there will be a i
revision upward of the privilege !
tax ordinance. 1

against a general outbreak of

of York have suspended exer- *

public gatheiings banned. ?
riding Spr a bounty levy of faro
nills. The ohjection is based
lpon the claim that Bollocks
Jreek and Broad River townships,
In the western section dl
he county,' would be the princi)al
beneficiaries of the fund thus
-aised for road purposes and that
inder the bill, as it is understood
n Rock Hill, no provision is

t is said that il Mr. Hart's bill

vill ask the courts for an inunction
to 8top the levy on the
ground that it is discriminatory.
One of the reasons given by
lock Hill pitiypna
