Fish Story From Fort Mill.
Fort Mill special of May %, to Char
lotte Chronicle: The people Of this
section have recently enjoyed a spell
of fishing here that Is probably not
equaled by sea fishing. With small
hand dip-nets tons Of nice large red
horse, suckers and carp Of uniform
size have been lifted out Of the water
within one small space just below the
Catawba Power company's dam. II
appears that while playing the fish had
banked themselves against the DAM
over which they could not pass, and
had the season continued it is pre-
dicted that the crops Of this section
would have suffered seriously.
Watch For Counterfeits.
United States secret service officers
located at Charlotte have sent out the
following warning to towns and cities
No 4.
PLEASE notify all banks and business
houses in your city to look out fol
counterfeit $40, $40 and 800 bills be-
ing passed on them, as 1 expect a gang
Of counterfeiters to operate in your
section in few days" The counterfeit
money Is said to be good imitation
the plates from which it is being made
doubtless being genuine, possibly hav-
Ing been stolen from the government
The discovery Of the counterfeit va
riety, which has been made show that
the fibre of the paper Is different from
the genuine not having the silken
threads interviewer.
