Suggests Pavilion on Catawba.

"There is an excellent opportunity
for some enterprising citizen to make
money for himself and at the same
time provide the people of this section
recreation and pleasure by building a
pavilion and running soft drink stand
and confectionery in connection with it
at the Rock Hill end of the Catawba
river BRIDGE" said Fort Mill citizen
q day or two ago. "There is an ideal
site for such an enterprise in the grove
near the banks of the river and l dare
say hundreds of people would patronize
1t during the summer months. Already
many automobile parties drive out from
Rock Hill and Fort Mill to enjoy the
scenery and bathing and fishing in the
river near the bridge and dare say
their number would be greatly aug
mented should such pleasure resort
as have in mind he built. Another
inexpensive luxury could be afforded
the people of this section by a number
of motor launches being put on the
river in connection with the pavilion"
