Tie Vote In Fort Mil.
Fort Mill special Of January 10, to
Columbia State: The most exciting
municipal election ever held in Fort
Mill resulted yesterday in a tie vote
for Mayor w. B. Meacham and w. l..
Hall for mayor, and between Messrs,
r. E. Rodgers and w. S. Creighton for
aldermen. Messrs. w. A. Fisher, A. Il.
McElhaney and S. w. Parks were
elected aldermen. Every effort was
made to defeat Mayor Meacham and
the present council, many Of the yot-
ers being taken to the polls In car
riages. Only six of the registered
voters failed to vote and an interesting
race is assured at the second election
by the fact that each side has secured
the pledge Of three of these six to vote
for its candidate. The candidacy OF
Mr.. Hall represents the opposition 10
the heavy fines imposed by Mayor
Meacham. and Mr.. Hall got most OF
his votes from the operatives OF the
two cotton mills. The mayor early in
the year announced minimum fine OF
81 for conviction for drunk and disor-
der!y and promised to double the fine
for the second conviction. This pol
lev has resulted in the collection or
nearly $1,000 IL fines during the past
wear. The municipal affairs have been
administered with wisdom and econo-
nv, as is shown by the fact that in the
past few years about three quarters OF
a mile of macadam streets have been
laid. Cement sidewalks, six and eight
feet wide, have been put down on both
sides Of Main street, and on part OF
Confederate street, and electric lights
installed in the business streets. All
this has been done on tax levy of
only two mills and without incurring
a cent of debt. The town now owes
only $40O, part of the bonded debt for
the town hall built several years ago,
and these bonds are not for sale even
to the town, which has offered to take
them up.
