NO PAVED STREETS?
Plans for Fort Mill ImDroyemcnt
May Be Abandoned.

May Bc Abandoned.
" is se'd to be more than possible
that nothing will be done toward inn
proving the streets of Fort Mill as
n result of the bond issue authorized
at the special election last April for
the purpose. The amount of bonds
voted for the purpose was $4,000.
Monday l.. A. Harris, chairman of
the public works commission created
to sell the bonds and improve the
streets with the proceeds, said that
the $4,000 federal aid which had
been promised the town to use in
conjunction with the bond issue had
been withdrawn and that unless the
department of agriculture could be
induced TO renew the proffer of as
sistance it was more than likely that
mo effort would be made to sell the
bonds. Mr.. Harris said the $4,000
1T was hoped to secure from the<sale
If the bonds would prove inadequate
to do the amount of hard-surface
paving necessary to justify the ex-
penditure
Congressman Stevenson has been
asked to use his good offices with the
department of agriculture to secure
the $4,000 federal aid It was thought
up to n few days ago there was no
doubt about the town getting to put
through the street Improvement pro-
gram the public works commission
had mapped out, but Mr.. Harris is
doubtful whether the efforts Of MIR.
Stevenson will prove successful. He
nl"o Is doubtful about the ability or
the commission to find a purchaser
f"' the bonds at a fair price. 1t
would therefore seem that the pros
pect held out last year for street inn
provements for Fort Mill as a result
OF the bond election is about gone.

MUSICAL SHOW
At THE Washington
THURSDAY EVENING
"Irene" VIII Prove One Of the Biggest
Shows Here During the
Whole Of the Season.

Irene" the musical comedy tri-
umph Of the universe, which under
the management of the Vanderbilt
Producing Company will play an en-
gagement at the Washington Theater
on Thursday, December 9Th, is one Of
the very few musical comedies which
leave only the most pleasant memo
ries behind.
Originally produced at the Wander
bilt theater in New York on Novem-
ber 18th, 1919, 1t ran consecutively at
the popular little play house until
Saturday evening June 18th, 1921,
establishing the longest record ever
attained by musical production in
this country. Simultaneously, another
company was playing at the Stude-
baker in Chicago, where for nine con-
secutive months, II was almost i'm
possible for one to get seat at least
four weeks in advance. At the same
time, 1t played almost two years at
the Empire Theater in London, Eng
land, while two other companies were
playing extended runs in Auckland,
New Zealond and Melbourne.
In fact there has not been large
centre in the civilized world where
the piece has not been seen, and prep
arations are now being made for re-
turn engagements everywhere.
Irene" will be presented with an
entire new dress this season, 1t being
one of the fundamentals Of the Van
derbilt Producing Company, to never
allow any of their organizations to be
offered with a production that is not
immaculate in every despect.
Lucille" Ltd, will again demon
strate that she is "Nulli Secudus" in
the creation Of feminine apparel, the
famous titled modiste having designed
and built number Of new gowns for
the ladies of the company which are
said to be the last word in dress-mak-
er's art.
Last seasons scenic production has
been thrown in the discards and the
new equipment is most pretentious,
which under many new ideas in light
ing effect, leands beauty and charm
to the entire picture, seldom, If ever
before attained.
