early last September was elected
to serve the uneXpired term of
mayor of Fort Mill to succeed

was on Tuesday reelected for the
two year term ending in Janu-
ary, 1918. Mayor Patterson was
opposed by Mr.. w. B. Meacham,

on last Saturday.
Much interest was manifested
in Tuesdays election, the friends
of the various candidates putting
forth every effort to turn votes
to the men of their choice. The
day passed, however, without
any personal difficulties, with
little drinking and disorder.

been members of council during
the last term.
In the race for member Of the
Public Works Commission, w. B.
Ardrey defeated A. l.. Parks for
siX-year term. The election
for trustees for the Fort Mill
school resulted in the reelection
of w. J. Kimbrell and w. D.
Wolfe, and the election of a new
member. H. d. Harkey.
1t is presumed that the new
council will be inducted into

the election of a city clerk and a
chief of police. 1t is understood
that there will be several ap-
plications for the latter position.

TALKING OF NEW SITE
FOR IvY'S MILL BRIDGE

The last issue of the Rock Hill
Record carried the following
communication, signed Fair
Play" which will be read with
interest by the people of Fort
Mill and the township:
We hear a good deal Of dis
cussion on the matter of moving
the bridge from the River Bend
section to Cureton's Ferry, below
Catawba, and what Lancaster
will do, etc. We hope that if
anything further is done on a
matter of this kind in which
Lancaster is interested that it
will be put in a business shape
SO that Lancaster will not be
allowed to hand York another
deal like she did at the River
Bend bridge. We do not know
what advantages could or would
be derived from a bridge at
Cureton's Ferry or thereabouts.
1t is stated by Engineer Miller
that it will cost at least S6 600
to move the River Bend bridge
to the other location. If Ian
caster is to be depended On to
pay part we are afraid they will
come up lacking, as we under
STAND that county is very heavily
involved. As stated above we
know nothing of the merits of
OF the case and are not in DO
sltlon at this time to express an
opinion on it, but we do know of
a proposition that was put to
the writer some time ago that
in our mind is a fine thing for
both Rock Hill and Fort Mill and
other communities above Fort
Mill. where its citizens want to
visit Rock Hill and York. and
that is for a bridge to be put
between Fort Mill and Rock Hill
at the end of j. nj. Cherry's
road on the Catawba. At the
time this matter was discussed
a prominent Fort Mill citizen
and business man said that if
this bridge could be had he was
sure he could raise So. 500 or
So, 600 for it; that it would take
very little work TO put good

tions retain them.
The largest city which has
adopted prohibition independents
iy of state or county action in
the matter is Cambridge, Mass,
whose population is estimated at
10000. The largest city in
which the saloons have been
closed by state enactment is
Atlanta, Ga, with approximately
l80, 600 inhabitants.
In 124 of the 1859 cities in
which saloons are licensed, they
are limited as to number. and in
81 as to location; and in % cities,
l6 of which are in Pennsylvania,
there are no restrictions as to

others it takes the form of a pro-
vision to the effect that the
number of saloons shall not
