Train Damages Mill.

An unusual accident occurred
at mill No. ! of the Fort Mill
Manufacturing company when an
empty freight car that was being
placed on the mill siding jumped
the track last Thursday af
tcrnoon at the crossing on
White street and ran into the
northeast corner of the weave
room, knocking hole in the wall
several feet in length and other
wise damaging the wall from the
foundations to the roof of the
building. 1t is said that it will
be necessary to rebuild the wall
rfor distance of about 20 feet
in both the east and north sides
oil the building. The accident is
thought to have been due to the
accumulation of earth on the in
side of the track which prevented
the car from staying on the rails.
H. the damaged corner of the
building is located the corner
stone of the original structure,
which was built in 1887. The
cornerstone was loosencd by the
impact, but was not displaced.
A number of operatives were at
work at their looms near the cor
ner where the ear struck the
building. but none of these was
injured.

END LONG TRIP.
Tarantulas Come to Town, Prob.
ably From Central America.

The long ride from Central
America, probably. to Fort Mill
ended Saturday for two tarantu-
las which arrived in a bunch of
bananas ordered from Charlotte
by FerusOn grocery. The trip
proved too much for one of the
tarahtulas, however. and it died
OH the way. The other one was
very much alive when it was dis.
covered Monday morning near
Tia, top of, the bunch of bananas.
II has since made it's home in
fruit jar. along with the remains
o: it's dead companion. and has
been an object of curiosity for.
many Fort Mill people who had
never before seen this species of
spider. The tarantula is three
OF four times larger than the
largest spider common to this
section and its bite is said to
prove fatal in many instances
where prompt medical attention
cannot be had.
DR.. j. h. DesPortcs of Fort
Mil. who spent several years on
big banana plantation in Brit
lsh Honduras and who i'm that
country had occasion frequently
t. observe the tarantnla. says it
does not bit" as many people as
generally supposed in this
country.
1.-THE natives in gathering the
banana crop nre always on the
lookout for the tarantula," yes
to-day said DR.. DcsPortes. "They
seem to know where it is hiding
IN the punches of bananas and
Kill most of them before the ba
nanas are taken aboard ship for
export.
More than two-thirds of the
bananas consumed in this coun-
try are grown in British Hon.
dnras. continued DIR. DeSPortes,
and most of them come through
1.-The port of New Orleans. where
they are put in cold storage await
ns shipment to the various dis
trihlting centerS. The HOnduran
t"rantulas that reach the United
States with these bananas have
hard time surviving the cold of
Tia, refrigerating plants. but now
and then one does survive and
finally lands where the bananas
are to be consumed. They are
not attractive in appearance and
! would not advise one of my
friends TO try to make a pet of
one of them"

been the ease a numer of times
Ill recent years when the season
ended.
A compilation of the batting
records of the players for the sea
son shows that Wilburn Fergu-
son led with 26 hits and that
Douglas Minis came second with
~ hits. For their good stick
work these two players will each

SCHOOL OPENING DATE.
'Next Session to Begin Tuesday,
September 6.

The 1922 session of the Fort
Mill graded school will open
Tuesday, September 6, yesterday
said j. B. Mills, chairman of the
board Of trustees. Originally the
trustees planned to have the ses-
sion begin a week earlier, but the
unexpected resignation few
weeks ago of c. c. Stewart of
Plndleton, who had been elected
superintendent, and the necessity
OF completing the installation of
the plumbing in the school build.
ing, begun some time ago. have
caused the delay.
AS yet the school is without a
superintendent, but meeting of
the board of trustees is scheduled
for one day next week when il is
expected the place will be filled.
With the exception of "A sup"rin-
tendent and the possible neceS-
sity of electing an additioal
teacher for the fifth grade, de-
pending upon the enrolment of
pupils in that grade. the teach.
ing corps for the session is com
plete.
Failure to receive as much
State aid for teachers salaries as
1t was thought would be availa.
Bile for that purpose is said to
have given the trustees consider
bella concern.
