Fort Mill Times: Messrs. Clinton
and Gwinn, members of the York
county board of registration, did not
find many idle moments at their dis
posal during last Friday, which they
spent officially in Fort NH. When
the days work had ended for them q
total of 2S5 new registration certifi-
Gates had been issued to citizens OF
the town. OF the number, 70 were
women, who thus took advantage Of
the opportunity given them by the
national and state governments some
months ago to qualify as voters. Not
one Of the women to whom the board
issued certificates had ever voted and
it was with reluctance that several
asked for the littla slip Of paper which
would enable them to take part in
elections. Besides the rev certificates,
the board issued a number Of renewal
certificates to citizens who he'd lost or
mislaid their old ones. AS a result of
the county boards visit TO Fort Mill
there are approximately $50 registered
voters in town, more by about 200 than
there has been at any time in the past.
Fire Loso in Fort Mill.
The Fort Mill Lumber company sus-
tanned the loss Of its big lumber shed
and warehouse by fire which was dis
covered about Z o'clock Tuesday even
ing, the loss Of buildings and contents
being estimated at $4,000 which Is
partially covered by insurance. The
building was located at the corner Of
Depot and Spratt streets, in a section
which is thickly built up with ware
houses for cottonseed and cotton, some
of them not so feet away, but owing to
the stiffness of the air at the time of
the fire and the effective work Of the
local fire department, the latter being
assisted by the department from mill
No. 2 of the Fort MIL Manufacturing
company, the flames were confined to
the one structure. The high power
lines of the Southern Power company
pass along the street within five feet Of
the building and, on account Of the
possible danger from falling poles and
wires, the current from the dam was
cut off; and the town was in darkness
for about two hours. However, there
was no loss from fire to the poles and
lines. Some loss was sustained from
piles of rough lumber stacked in the
adjoining yards.
