In a recent meeting of city

the public was not apprized of

the fact, to put on a night policeman

for the town, and acting on

this decision Mr. R. L. Broom,

of Lockhart, has been employed

has had several years' experience

one fully capable of satisfactorily

filling the place. He began

work on Ihursday night.

idleness of the carding and spinning

rooms incident to the

change of the machinery when

the new addition to the mill is

completed in the near futute.

not been started. I

The Southern Railway will, it (

is said, soon begin the enlarge- !

ment of its freight office and express

press and freight business of the s

For Town Betterment. (

A the monthly meeting of the

board of directors of the Cham- 1

ber of Commerce held Monday I

night, the report of the president,

J. E. Williamson, con- <

tained much of inspiration and

outlined considerable work which

he thinks should be undertaken ,

without delay, much of which ]

was referred to the department

directors. These matters com- ,

prise an extension of the street

lighting system, an all night

telephone and telegraph service,

the widening and paving jf certain

streets, and a number of

other minor matters.

The board of directors has

interested itself in the matter of

replacing Doby's bridge, across

Sugar creek, which was washed

away in July, this bridge being

on one of the important rural

routes and connecting York and

Lancaster counties. It has been

stated that the government has

under consideration the discontinuance

of this route unless the

bridge is replaced since the

carrier is now forced to make

seven additional miles each day |

to cover his route.

reception to the returning Fort

Mill Light Infantry which has

been on border duty for the past

several months and is now being

mustere d out at Camp Moore at

Styx. The company was expected

here last night and the

supply corps which also went

from here will return today.

The directors were unable to

agree on a selection of a slogan

although a large number were

submitted in the contest for a

prize offered a month ago. This

matter along with that of securing

permanent quarters was

postponed until the meeting in

January.

I

Country Needs New Coin.

A two and one-half-cent piece

is demanded by the country, according

to the director of the

Philadelphia mint, whose annual

report recommends passage of

O lo 117 Ollf

c? iu vv autnui lAlll^ t.UlI!C) UI LIJ(Sl

denomination from copper and

nickel.

"When you consider that we

have no coin between the onecent

piece and the five-cent

piece and that many an article

worth more than a cent and less

than five cents sells for the

latter price because of the lack

of an intermediate monetary

unit of value." says the director,

"the economic importance

of it will be readily seen.

Articles which now sell for 15

cents each or two for a quarter

would sell for 121-2 cents. Popular

shops, such as the five and

ten-cent stores would undoubtedly

place articles now selling two

for five cents, on sale at two and

one-half cents."

THE PORT B

"Community Dty" Tomorrow.

The plans for Community Day

ire about complete and there is

ivery reason for those in charge

x) expect a large number of

ivilling workers to be at the

school grounds Friday morning

it 8 o'clock.

While the work needed to be

lone is not so heavy as that done

ast year, the work planned for

Friday is imperative and es;ential

to the beauty and value

>f the school grounds.

Much sand is needed to cover

he cinder walks and the comnittee

on hauling hopes their

?armer friends tmrfcinnlarlv will

five one day at least for this I

>articular work. About a dozen

rees have been secured and

hese will be set out Friday, <

Last, but not least, the dinner i

lommittee has ample dinner in 1

sight for the willing workers. (

Want Ku Klux Monument. ;

The Fort Mill Chamber of Comnerce

is making an effort to \

secure the location nere of the i

proposed monument to the Ku

EClux Clan which Thomas Dixon

las under consideration, the

secretary having been directed

?et in touch with Mr. Dixon and

iscertain what inducements ;

would locate the monument here. ;

Fort Mill has probably the most

unique collection of monuments

n the South comprising one to ,

the Confederate veterans, one to

the women of the Confederacy, '

ane to the Catawba Indians, and ]

yne to the faithful slaves, the

latter being the first of its kind

erected. To this collection the i

addition of Mr. Dixon's monu- ,

ment would be most appropriate

as following the later times and

commemorating the days of reconstruction

in the South.

W. B. Ardrey, C. S. Link,

A. O. Jones, Lee Spratt and

R. F. Grier, of this city, are

among the number of York

county gentlemen named by

Governor Manning as delegates

to the Southern Commercial congress

which meets in Norfolk.
