placed their cotton in storage
warehouses, Will James, negro,
undertook to store a quantity of
whiskey in a cotton warehouse.
He was caught by Officer V. I).
Potts and fined $25 bv Recorder

S. S. McNinch, Charlotte citizen
well known in Fort Mill, who was
a candidate in the primary election

was badly beaten, receiving
only 91 votes in a total vote of
over 6.000. James O.Walker was

vi'hdrew from the race for mayor
Friday. May 27, is the date set
for the closing of the Fort Mill
graded school for the 1920-21 ses
hioii, uner wnicn, ior tiie vacation
season at least, the boys who
make their headquarters on Main
street will not be subjected to the
annoyance of having to be away
l'or even a part of the tiiue from
thi stores, postoftiee and "hot
dog" places during school hours
Next Saturday is the last day
on which State and county taxes
can be paid without the 7 percent
penalty provided in the act of the
Legislature extending the time
for tax payments fVom March 1
to May 1. Between May 1 and
May 15 the' 7 per cent penalty
will be collectible, after which executions
against ' property on
which tuxes have not been paid
will be issued. It is said that
there are numerous property owners
in'Fort Mill township who are
yet to settle with the State and
county.
W. B. Meacham, Sr., president
of the Savings Bank of Fort Mill,
yesterday said his bank was exporting
to receive at once front
tll*? tinilitnr nf Yf/\i*Lr /muwfv oh an lr o
in payment of the State pension
of Confederate veterans and the
widows of Confederate veterans
living in Fort Mill township.
Payment of the pension money
this year has been delayed several
weeks by the failure of the pension
boards of several counties in
the State to make ptompt returns
to the pension department
in Columbia.
People who use the public road
between Steel creek and Springs'
overhead bridge in Fort Mill
township are fearful that unless
the bridge on the road near the
overhead bridge is repaired a disastrous
accident will occur there
sooner or later. The bridge, 15
feet in length, spans a ravine in
.the road about 12 feet deep. The
, supporting timbers at one end of
the bridge have fallen down and
if an automobile or horse-drawn
vehicle should attempt to cross
the bridge the structure would
give way and perhaps result in a
serious accident. The condition of |
the bridge may be seen during 1
the day and the short road that
has been opened around it used,
but there is no obstruction across
the road to warn night travelers
cf the danger.
