Fort Mill Times: Messrs. s. s. Ord
way & Son, who have had contract
to build the part Of the Catawba Pow
er company's dam on this side Of the
river have suspended operations. 1t Is
said that there was some disagree
ment over the contract. It Is further
reported that Messrs. Ordway & Son
have employed counsel to defend their
interests and a lawsuit will likely en-
sue unless some settlement is arnica-
bly, effected in the meantime.
His Corn Coming.
Mr.. M. L. Thomasson, whose pen
chant for early corn planting is we'll
known, said Thursday, that his crop,
which was planted March %, is now
we'll on to six inches high and has been
worked over. Mr.. Thomasson lost four
paintings by freshets last year, and
succeeded in making a fair crop in
spite Of such hard luck. In view Of his
past experience he is not disposed to
congratulate himself much on account
Of the present advanced stage of the
crop.
Rock HIPS Public Building.
Washington correspondence Of The
News and Courier: It Is probable that
when the public building bill comes up
in the senate, an amendment will be
inserted striking out the provision in
the Rock Hill item that the site for the
new building shall be furnished the
government at nominal cost. Rock
Hill did not agree to furnish site for
her building, and this condition carried
in the house bill was evidently the re-
suit of a misunderstanding on the
part of the committee. Representative
Finley will see that the mistake Is cor
rected.

near where the Chester and Fairfield
lines intersect with the Lancaster line.
The "first-Saturday-in-Ma picnic is
an institution the origin Of which goes
back beyond the memory Of the oldest
inhabitant. The crowds are always
large, and frequently include people
who live as far as 40 or so miles away.
Quite a number Of people will be pres
ent today from Rock Hill and vicinity,
and there will probably be others from
different parts Of the county.
The NicholsOn Hotel.
There have been conflicting reports
with reference to the transfer of the
Nicholson hotel property at Chester.
One story has it that Messrs. A. H.
Greene G. Son, Of Rock Hill, had bought
the property, and another story has it
that such was not the case. The facts
about the matter are like this: Messrs.
Greene G. Son bought the property
from Mrs. Cunningham at a fixed
