Mcmillan, member of one Of the best
known families in the county Is dead
and T. B. Began and M. c. Chandler,
well known young men Of Spartan
burg, are in the county Jail as re-
suit of an automobile accident which
occurred yesterday afternoon near
Duncan. The jury impaneled by Cor
oner John S. Turner today rendered
a verdict to the effect that McMil-
Ian came to his death as result of
the overturning Of an automobile
owned by w. w. Green, of this city.
The jury found that Green was in
the car at the tine Of the accident,
but that T. B. Began was driving and
was running the ear at an alleged
b reckless rate of speed. The four
above named men were in the ca

a pint bottle of whiskey was found
on the ground when they reached the

LAKE VIEW FORMER
LY PAGES MILL

In talking with people from differ
ent parts of the county l find some
who are not aware Of the rapid prog
ress which Lake View is making.
Lake View has leaped from vii
Iage to a town in almost overnight.
Some of the principal additions just
now is the opening Of the Palmetto
Hotel, which / think can be safely
said, is one of the best (if not the
best) hotel in South Carolina this
side of big Pee Dee river. 1t is equip
ped with all up-to-date conVeniences,
water, electric lights, etc.
Another enterprise is the Lake
View Light and Power Co.'S. plant
which has just been put into opera
ton. This plant is run by water pow
er. using the old Pages Mill pond, and
of course we don't claim to have a
paint equal to some of the great pow
er plants in the Piedmont section,
but we have a plant with power, and
we invite any of our sister towns VINO
are somewhat in the dark to come
down some night and look at some
real electric lights.
On account of the changing OF the
name from Pages Mill to Lake view,
people have some difficulty in locat-
ing our town from distance, and 10
be some distance from home and. to
tell people you are from Lake view
they don't seem to locate you, but the
name of everything has been changed,
the railroad station being the last
which was officially changed more
than a year ago.
Soon all the railroad guides will
have us as Lake View, and with
the progress we are making, in a few
years when you go away from home
and to just tell anyone you are from
South Carolina, the next question he
will want to know If you live any
where near Lake View.
