years," yesterday said K. T. Whiteseil,
local agent of the Southern railway.
"Due would not think that the
high cost of living had struck this
section, judging from the volume of
freight now coming into this office,"
continued Mr. Whitesell. "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." '
