"i'eople order all kinds of articles to be shipped in by freight, articles many of which a few years ago they either did without or brought in otherwise than by freight. Much of the increased receipts of the office, however, are due 10 the volume of feedstuff and farm implements now arriving, along with the heavy shipments of flour and other food for man. Freight is now received in Fort Mill from all over the country, some of it coming thousands of miles, and it ( would open the eyes of the average citizen here to know just what it 1 amounts to in a month's, time."
