Secession Of Fort Mill Township.


Fort Mill.-SiX thousand citizens of
Fort Mill township. are preparing to
try out President Woodrow Wilson's s
theory OF self-determination. An esti-
mate Is that Is per cent OF the popula-
tion wants to secede from South Car
olina and become a part OF Mecklen-
burg county. N. c.
1t is expected that the question will
have to be put before the legislatures
OF both the Carolinas, with a plebis-
cite on the question, IL the legisla-
lures act favorably. Since the accep.
tance OF the Fort Mill township into
Mecklenburg county would have the
effect OF changing the boundaries OF
two states, 1t was believed the matter
would require national legislation to
complete the transfer.
