During the last ?<?k ForUdlU^w ;
reoriv?ff ji ciMktor>bl? publicity In
the dally and weakly praaa of North;
Carolina and South Carolina as a re- I
suit of the Item in The Times of February
3 quoting- the remarks of a citIsen
of the town who again brought
forward the proposition, first advanced
several years ago, of Fort Hill
township withdrawing .from South'
Carolina and joining North Carolina.
The proposition also has been freely
discussed locally since the appearance
In The Times last week of the
Item and may result In something
more tangible than a mere expression
of the wtsdom of such a' step by
those who would like to see the
township become a part of the Old
North State, as inquiries are being
made in Columbia and Washington^
as to the proper method to pursue te
get the matter tinder way; but the
consensus of opinion seems to be
that the proposition will blow over
In a few days and meanwhile amount
to nothing more than talk. "People
muht have something to talk about,"
one man yesterday was heard to say,
"and as no one now finds it neces
nary to put in much time counting
hie money, why not talk about this
subject? None of us will Never live
to see the day when Port Mill becomes
a part of North Carolina, but
speculation over what might come
to the township should the change
be brought about is both interesting
and harmless and I see no objection
to it. Meanwhile let me congratulate
the citizen The Times quoted on
hit. ideas of free advertising."
The Columbia State of Monday
carried the following news story onthe
subject from its York correspondent:
"Not a bit of excitement and only
mild Interest has been manifested
here in the proposed withdrawal of
Fort Mill from York county and its
annexation to Mecklenburg county,
N. C., which question Is said to be
engaging the attention of the township
across the Catawba river. With
the alleged movement still in the embryo
stage, people of the county seat
are not inclined to offer Fort Mill
nny advice on the subject, being sat- (
Isiled to sit still and watch develop- .
rnents. '
"York people do not believe that -
Fort Mill wishes to sever the tie#
that have connected her with the
White Itoao \county and the Palmetto
State for so many years without
some sober deliberation. Reports emunuting
from across the Catawba to
the effect that a plebiscite would
show an overwhelming majority In
favor of the annexation movement
ire taken with a grain of salt here.
If. however, after due consideration
3f all that Is Involved In the change,
Ktirt Mill reaches the decision that It
would be advantageous for her to
^ust hor fortunes with Mecklenburg,
ifork may say, to paruphrase Horace
3reeley's utterance on a more historic
occasion', let her go in peace.
This question, though, would be one
Tor the State to decide, legal opinion
being that a constitutional amendment
In both South Carolina and
North Carolina would be necessary.
"The only reason advanced for the
innexutipn plan is a geographical
one, there being no dissatisfaction
with ? the county government or 1
charges of discrimination against the
township, so far as Is known here.
The town of Fort Mill is 25 miles
from York and 15 miles from Charlotte,
N. C. The Catawba river has
been a barrier to close communication
between Fort Mill and the
county seat, though the splendid
steel bridge over that stream on the
road to Rock Hill, together with the
Improvement of the highway between
these towns, has rendered access to
York easier of late than In former
years."
Negro Boy Kllod.
John Glenn, negro boy about 20
years of age, lost his life Sunday afternoon
at the hands of another
young negro. Mote Moore, on the
plantation of W. J. Stewart, two
miles south of town. The boys were
tussling over the possession of a gun.
It was stated, and the weapon was
nccldentally fired by Moore. The
load of shot entered the body of
31cnn, from the effects of which he
lied In about two hours. Carelessness
was charged to Moore In the
.ermct or the coroner's Jury held
Monday morning. Glenn Is said to
iave stated after the shooting that
t was accidental. It has not yet
ieen decided whether Moore will be
irosecuted.
At a joint meeting of the boards
>f county commissioners of York and
Mecklenburg counties In Charlotte
ast Tuesday the "Buster" Boyd site
was definitely agreed upon as the
ocation of the Catawba river bridge
:o be built Jointly by York and
Mecklenburg counties. The bridge is
o cost $92,000. two-thirds of which
s to be paid by Mecklenburg county
ind the remaining third by York
jounty. Construction of the bridge
will be begun as soon as the Meckenburg
authorities are able to get a
ourt decision upholding the constitutionality
of a bond issue which
that county finds it necessary to float
to finance its part of the project.
The bridge will be about ten miles
up the river from Fort Mill. It is
expected to open up a considerable i
section of Bethel township and cen- J
tral York county to direct communi- .
cation with Charlotte and other J
S'orth Carolina points, but the con- |
Uruetlon of a public road to the
:>rldgc will be necessary before it can
be of general use to the public. i
