A very romatc place, from many
points of view, is Musgrovc Mill, just
nine miles from the town of Clinton,
lying upon the highway running directly
from Clinton to Spartanburg.
1t came into notice as a mill before
the revolutionary war and has been run
ming pretty steadily for something like
l25 years. This is sufficient evidence
of the fact that it is a good site for
milling operations. Its chief notoriety
in revolutionary times springs from the
fact that a battle was fought at this
mill in which the British and Tories
were badly worsted. On hill over
looking the Enorec River and the mill,
is a dwelling on the site of the cottage
home of the celebrated Mary Musgrove,
whose revolutionary fame has come
down to our times.
This mill property had fallen into a
very bad state of repair. But its pres
owners have taken the matter i'm hand,
and have installed new turbine wheel,
reconstructed the building, put in shaft
ing and gear wheels, rebuilt the corn
and wheat mills, and have it i'm good
shape for doing good work.
MusGrove on the Enoree is famous
place in these parts. Clinton people in
great numbers visit the mill during the
summer, and fish and camp out and pic
ME on the shores Of the river.
Just beyond the bridge, and over in
Spartanbmg county, is the famous
Horseshoe Falls, so named for "Horse-
shoe" Robinson whose exploits in all
this section of country has added
romance to the beautiful scenery.
The time is coming when in addition
to the hum of machinery, Clinton peo-
pie will have their summer cottages on
the banks of the river, and its waters
will be alive with their boats. Our

solo. At the time the year book was is

The blaze was in the sheds attached to
the Fall Mountain boarding house near
the Island House. Not much damage was
done by the fire, but more from water
before the recall was sounded. The build

drew the plans and specifications for the
structure, attended the meeting and in
connection with the selectmen explained
the matter thoroughly. so there was no
opposition. Work will be begun at once.

will be impossible to put in the concrete
as intended this fall, but the casing into
which 1t will be run will be put in at
each end. This casing. or form, would

make the structure entirely safe, at least
that is what Mr.. Worcester is fully con-
fident.
