Electricity in Fort Mill.
Fort Mill Times: The weaving de-
partment of the Fort Mill Mfg. COM
pany Is now turning by electricity. The
electric fluid was on last Wednesday
turned on the 80-horse power motor in
tors in the old weave room were start
ed. The electricians are busily en-
gagged in equipping the other depart
ments with electrical appliances and 1t
is expected that during the week the
entire plant will be humming by pow
er from the Catawba. The manage
ment of the mill express themselves
as highly pleased with the electric
power and claim that, besides effect

turning out better production by rea-
son of the fact that the speed is more
steady than by steam and the ma
cfinery when once regulated does not
get out Of order as often. The Mill
fort mill will also begin the use OF
electric power within a few days.

door inside. Just as the train began
to slow up for Ogden, a flag station,
five miles south Of Rock Hill, the toilet
room window slid up and Irwin's head
popped out. Down came the hickory
stick close to the head and on the win
dow facing. Irwin started out the door
and met the other constable, but didn't
know nuthin about it, boss" when
questioned as to the ownership Of three
kegs of whisky. The constables brought
it back to town, and while removing 1t
from the train Irwin fled swiftly
