Monument to Fort Mill Soldiers.

The Kanawha Chapter, D. A. R., oi
Fort Mill, has started a moVemen,
looking to the erection Of monument
commemorative Of the valor and sacri-
flee of the Fort Mill soldiers who serv-
ed in the world war. The chapter ap.
propriates $100 of its own funds and
calls upon the people Of the township
and others who may desire to assist
for voluntary subscriptions. Fort Mil
has probably furnished more soldiers
to the war than any other community
Of its size in the United States.
Captured Still.
Sheriff Quinn, accompanied by Con-
stable w. s. Peters, broke up and cap
tured an illicit distillery about mile
and a half east Of Kings Mountain
battle-ground last Thursday. The still
was located in wild ravine on Clark's
Fork that was most difficult Of access
and which seemed to be admirably
we'll suited for such purposes. The
moonshiners had evidently not been
doing business for several days; bu,
the surroundings gave the appearance
Of an intention to make another run
quite shortly.
The Catawba Bridge.
The York delegation in the general
assembly has agreed upon bill pro-
viding for the erection Of bridge over
Catawba river between Boyd's and
Wright's ferries, at the nearest pracn-
cable site on Wright's ferry. Mecklen-
burg is to pay two-thirds Of the cost OF
the bridge and York county one-third
Of the cost. The question of location,
within the limits specified, is to be left
with the York and Mecklenburg coun-
ty authorities. AS originally drawn
the bill provided that the location
should be selected through the joint
agreement of the North and South
Carolina state highway commissioners;
but upon more mature consideration
the delegation appears to have decided
that it would not be exactly the right
thing to have the state authorities Sc
lecting the location Of a bridge for
which the county will have to pay.
Rock Hill Health Case.
Judge Moore has filed an order In
the Rock Hill board of health case, the
effect of which is to uphold the board

The Rock Hill Herald Of yesterday has
the following: THE board Of health
met this morning at IL o'clock and
lifted the quarantine from churches,
moving picture shows, business houses,
and public meetings. The quarantine
has been in force almost three weeks,
the order closing places of amusement
and churches and prohibiting public
meetings having been issued by the
board of health January 20, and the
announcement that conditions have
been improved sufficiently to. permit
the board to remove all restrictions
was learned with no little pleasure.
public meetings Of any kind may pc
held now; churches will no longer be
limited to one service each Sunday;
but may now hold all their regular
services; the moving picture houses
NAV again operate, giving the hrst
show this afternoon; and the regula,
tions relative to sterilizing vessels used
by the soda fountains and restaurants
need no longer be observed. The cpl.
demic of influenza has been checked
and the disease has been practicaily
wiped out in this section of the county.
Health officer Frew reports that ne
has under quarantine at present ap-
proximately 25 influenza patients, tne
ma ior.ty of whom are convalesclng.
Two new cases of the malady were re-
ported yesterday, but conditions are
again practically normal
