u. S. INFLUENCE BEING
r-.- FELT IN LATIN AMERICA

Rio De Janeiro. March 29.-(By Mail. ,
The influence of North America on
South America Is steadily becoming
more evident, even in the Mardi Gras
of Rio de Janeiro. Among the throngs
of masqueraders during the 1920 carni-
val season were many "Carlitos," as
Charlie Chaplin is called in Portuguese.
There were scores of cowboys with
hroad-trimmed hats, cartridge belt and
handanna- handkerchief in true imita,
tion of the movie hero of the American
wild and woolly west. Film vampires
bounded, with penciled eyebrows and
low-cut gowns.
The immigrants to Brazil from Portu-
gal, Spain, Italy and Franee-the. four
great carnival countries of Europe
have brought their carnival traditions
and customs to South America In years
past, the color of Lisbon, Of Madrid, of
Genoa and of Nice has mingled in the
Rio de Janeiro holiday season. Now
the spirit of New York, Chicago and
Frisco Is tumbling into this blend.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS
APPROVED BY CITIZENS

At the special election held in Fort
Mill last Friday to determine whether
the town should issue bonds in the sum
of $50, 900 for street improvements %
OF the 7O-odd citizens qualified to take
part in the election voted for the issue
while only two voted against it. This
amount the street commission, COM
posed of l.. A. Harris, chairman, DR..
j. l.. Spratt and N. L. Carothers, is
assured by the State highway depart
ment will be supplemented by $4,000
from the States apportionment of the
Federal road fund, giving the town in
all $4u, 900 with which to undertake the
improvement of the streets.
The commission hoped to put down
permanent paving oxer stretch of q
mile and half with the amount to be
derived from the bond issue and the
money to come from the Federal
treasury, but recently the cost of
material for road work has increased
to such an extent that the commission
may find it impossible to do 30 much
paving with this sum. Yesterday Mr..
Harris said his idea was to put down
first-class paving, paving that will
last, and if possible to eliminate at
least a part of the profits some con-
tractors are known to be making by
having the work done on another basis.
The commission is expected to hold
meeting within the next few days,
although it is known that some time
will pass beforefthe bonds can be sold
and the money the commission is
promised secured from the Federal
government. The bonds are to run for
DO years and are to bear a rate of in
terest not. exceeding 1-2 per cent.
