Everybody welcome. J. J. Bailee of the Bailee Motor company was an interested spectator Tuesday at the big tractor demonstration on the farm of Winthrop college in which he had entered an Emerson tractor. Mr. Bailee said he considered the work of the Emerson the most consistent of the half dozen or more well known tractors entered in the demonstration. The family of D. W. Flow, a farmer who lives near Capps' school house a few miles north of Fort Mill, has been sorely stricken with typhoid fever during the last month. Mr. Flow has eight children, all of whom have been ill with fever, and now he and Mrs. Flow also are ill with the disease, Mr. Flow being in a critical condition at a hospital in Rock Hill, where several of his children also have been patient**, Noah Spinks Dead. Noah Spinks, a former resident of 'Fort MiH, died in Charlotte last Wednesday and the body was brought to Fort Mill Thursday afternoon and interred in the town cemetery, following funeral exercises at the Methodist church, of which he was a member. Mr. SpinkB was a brother of the He v. J. I. Spinks, member of the Upper South Carolina conference. He is survived by a number of children and was about 66 years old. Drowned in Catawba. H. J. Brawley, about 40 years of age and a resident of thd upper mill village in Fort Mill, accidentally fell into the Catawba river Wednesday afternoon and was drowned before help couki reach him. He had gone fishing and was seized with a fainting spell. The body was recovered some distance below the county bridge Wednesday night and the interment will take place at Huntersville, N. C., Friday afternoon. " Value of Catawba Bridge. "One of the best investments York county ever made was the money spent in the erection of the bridge across Catawba river four or Ave years ago," said an observant citizen a day or two ago. "My recollection is that the bridge cost a little less than $60,00o. Today it could not be built for less than three times this amount and 1 would not see it removed permanently for half a million dollars. It has brought Fort Mill in , touch with the balance of the county as nothing ever did before. Now we are not isolated from our neighbors living on the other side of the river as was formerly the case when we had to cross the old bridge, which was destroyed by the ftood of 1916. At first some of the citizens of the upper section of the township thought the erection of the bridge farther down the river would mean serious inconvenience for them, but with the building of the first-clans road between Fort Mill and Kock Hill connecting with the bridge 1 am sure they are now ready to admit their mistake." Spring Comes at Last After experiencing for more than two months weather^ conditions the like of which has not been known in this section for years, spring apparently begun in earnest last Saturday with a cloudless sky and warm sunshine and continued through Sunday and a part of Monday. Saturday most of the . farm lands were too wet from the L recent rains to permit general prepa3 ration of the soil for the year's crops. uut mwijr lanueni were ousy mi aay Monday getting their lands in shape for cultivation, although rain threatened during the greater part of the afternoon, following a light shower in the early morning hours. The weather was such Sunday that for the first time this spring the little girls of the community were able to wesr to Sunday school the pretty new frocks their mothers had provided for them, always an event of much importance in their lives. Monday night there was a light shower which continued more or less regularly throughout most of Tuesday morning. Tuesday night there was a ?^dhavy rain and Wednesday was fair.
