The postoffice was moved into
it's new quarters in the McNeel
building Saturday, the mail from
the west bound Southern pas
senger train Saturday afternoon,
being the first to be worked up
in the new quarters. There was
some little confusion at first in
regard to the selection of boxes
and the fitting of keys, but
everything connected with the
office is working as smoothly as
clock work now. Hundreds of
people from the town and coun-
try visited the new postoffice on
Saturday. many of them merely
for the purpose of inspecting the

Additional Fort Mill History.
(Continucd from Last Week(

CONTINUED from Last Week.
The next enterprise for Fort
Mill was a marble yard, estab-
iished by man named Mccoy,
a son-in-law of Duke Russell,
who quarried his soapstone in
the woods in front of where
B. F. Patterson now lives. You
will find some of his work now
i'll old Unity cemetery. This
was about 1853. He made his
fortune shortly and left town.
The next establishment was,
what do you think, barroom,
opened by r. H. Glenn, after
wards sheriff of York county.
This was in 1854 and as there
was a Sons of Temperance Society
in town he was not allowed to
sell to negroes, and there were
but about dozen men in town.
His whiskey was sold at five
cents a glass, and he soon made
his fortune and LETT. He did
business in a small log cabin
back of the present Thompson
Hotel. w. E. White afterwards
built back room to the cabin
and put the widow Gillespie in
it and supported her until she
married Mr.. Hugh Coffee, of
Lancaster, along about the
early SOS.

No Fund for Ex.Slaves.

The treasury department at
Washington has issued state
ment denying that it holds a
fund of 500, 600, 900 or any other
sum, for eX-slaves or their heirs
or for other persons who worked
in the cotton fields in Civil war
times.
The statement calls attention
to a suit brought in the District
of Columbia court against Secre-
tary McAdoo to have this sum
paid to claimants who helped to
pick cotton on which the $4,000, =
900 was assessed as an internal
revenue tax. The treasury
statement says the government S
right to collect this tax was
determined years ago by the
courts and says that even if the
eX-slaves had ally claim it wou d
be against their masters. 1t
points out also that the suit be-
gan is against the secretary of
the treasury and is treated as an
action against the government
itself and that the usual fate of
such suits is to be thrown out
for lack of jurisdiction.

The Speed Devil.

You may talk about escaped
lunatics, and lunatics in captiv-
ity, but there is one kind of lu-
natic, the worst of them all. still
running at large. The lunatic
we refer to above is that thing"
neither human nor beast and he
is seen here among you every
day. Some call him road
hog" while others call him a
"speeder," and then you hear
some fellow call him a speed
fiend." For us, we have no name
to call him. He is just thing"
devoid of reason or conscience.
You see him coming a long
trail of dust behind him. An
awful moment of suspense and
he is by, unless he happens to
sideswipe you while you are try
ing to get into the ditch out of
his way. You feel relieved when
he has passed and thank your
stars he has passed you without
mishap. - Selected.
