Splinter's Gold Hill letter to the Fort
Mill Times: You Yorkville people that
are striving to spoil the name or the
town, please go slow, now. We helped
you build courthouse and we feel like
we have voice in naming the town.

That agents Of the allied nations OF

purchases Of horses In the Unlteo
States, Is evidenced by the fact tnat
MANY carloads Of horses are passing
over the main line OF the southern,
bound for Newport News, from which
port they will be shipped abroad. On
last Sunday a train Of seventeen cars,
CARRYING approximately $40 horses,
passed through Blacksburg bound for

that many more carloads are to be
shipped abroad from that state.
