suggests that next season Yorkville
and Rock Hill combine in the support
of a baseball team, call it York, and

be carried to success.

Milfort Discontinues Night Work.
Fort Mill Times: Fort Mill is at
present experiencing a slice of the
Mckinley prosperity of which we hear
so much nowadays. All night work
was shut down indefinitely at the
Millfort mill in this place Saturday
night, as result of the depression in
the cotton cloth market. About rs
hands are thrown out Of employment,
most of whom have moved to Rock
Hill and other nearby towns in search
of work.
The Stokes Free Delivery.
The Stokes free delivery system
seems to be giving good satisfaction to
all who have tried it. In some cases
patrons have erected their mail boxes
off the road where the mail rider can
not reach them without getting from
his horse or buggy. This is not in &C.
cordance with either the letter or spirit
of the regulations. Boxes should be
within convenient reach of the mail
rider 80 as to give him the least pos
sible trouble.
Serious Accident to MIR. Plexico.
The mail rider on the Yorkville to
Yorkville via Bethany route, tells the
reporter of an unfortunate accident
that occurred to Mr.. R. N. Plexico,
of Bethany, on last Tuesday. Mr..
John Plexico's wheat was being
threshed on that day. After some ten
or fifteen bushels had been threshed,
the straw caught fire from spark,
from the smokestack, and the fire was
quickly communicated to the stacks
of unthreshed wheat. Mr.. Plexico
climbed one of the stacks to fight the
fire, and falling off broke his left foot.
As nearly as can be estimated, between
300 and $50 bushels of wheat was des-
troyed. Mr.. Plexico is able to be
about on crutches. ~
