OLD FORT SUMTER.
Famous Civil War Fortification
Now Lighthouse Station.

eSterday, April IL, was the
61st anniversary of that day when
in the early morning hours in Il
small room in Montgomery, Ala,
an operator flashed a message the
disastrous consequences of which
were felt around the world. 1t
was an order from President JEFF
ferson Davis Of the Southern Con-
federacy to Gen. Beauregard, in
command of the Confederate for,
ces at, Charleston, to fire upon
Fort Sumter.
The decision to fire upon Fort
Sumter came after the refusal of
the Washington government to
withdraw the troops stationed
there, under the command of Maj.
Anderson. At daybreak of April
II, 1861, from a battery stationed
on James island was fired the
shot that ushered in the four years
of strife of brother against broth
er. So well was the shot aimed
that it burst directly above the
fort, but did little harm. For two
hours the Smelling of the fort con-
tinued, the fire of the battery at
Fort MOultrie across the mouth
of the harbor from Sumter hav-
ing joined that of the battery OH
James island; but through all this
time there mad come n0 response
from Sumter. Maj. Anderson af-
forwards stated that he was saw
ing his ammunition.
AT exactly 7 o'clock Sumter be-
gan firing and kept it up during
the entire day. the shots alter
nately directed upon the James
island battery and that of Fort
Moultrie. The engagement is said
to have been the first of its kind
OH record of two forts so near
together battling with each other.
In the city of Charleston the eX-
citcment was intense and along
the waterfront crowds were gath
cred anxiously watching the con-
flict. At 4 o'clock in the after
noon word came that no one was
Feven hurt. No battle ever so
fiercely waged' ever had such
harmelss results so far as life was
concerned. Old Fort Sumter is
now Il lighthouse station.

Pat Rogers, native lrishrian,
who has made his home in Fort
Mill for many years, says little

ireland forces opposing the free
state government. goes a long
way with him. Pat says he thinks
the best thing for ireland to do
is to accept the leadership of Mi

HAPPY OVER RAsCALITY.
Young Man Steals From Negro
Woman and Leaves Whistling.

LET me tell you how smart
young rascal beat an old negro
woman out of $3.50 in Fort Mill
some years ago, yesterday said
a citizen of the town to The Times.
1.-The young fellow came here
from Georgia, he said, in search
lOf work. 1t did not take him long
to find job and boarding
house and i'll a few days he em-
|ployed an old negro woman to do
his washing. AT the end of the
week she brought in his clothes
and he pretended to be so we'll
pleased with the quality of the
work that he agreed to give the
old woman $3.50 if she could
change "A 50 bill. She got together
the $3.50 in change, most of it i'll
quarters and dimes, and handed
| it to the apparently generous
young man. He then gave her Il
IS Confederate note, which she
accepted with many thanks. not
knowing that it was worthless.
The young man tucked the bun
die of clothes under his arm and
the last seen of him in Fort Mill
was few minutes later when he
passed out of sight going toward
the North Carolina line whistling
"He seemed happy over hav-
ing beaten the old woman ont Of
the $3.50 and the worth of her
work; but in addition to that he
had conveniently forgot to pay
his board bill.
Later in the evening the fam
lily with whom he had been stay
ing discovered that he had stolen
frmO the home three smoothing
irons. rooster and waShtub.
which inquiry developed had been
sold to negro woman in the
neighbOrhOod for 65 cents. The

by the owner, but the woman had

became the permanent residence
of that young rascal.

Baseball Team Organized.

A baseball team to represent
Fort Mill this season was organ
lied u few nights ago with Alfred
U. Jones as manager. A. G. Ly-
tie, q. w. Mckenzie, s. r. Cook,
ID. =. Brown and 7. N. Reeves
compose the finance committee of
the club. AS yet no games have
been arranged for the team, as it
was found necessary to do cOnsid-
cradle work OIL the grounds,
thereby delaying the opening of
the season. New uniforms for
the players have arrived and it
is expected that the team will not
Orly make II natty appearance
when it goes OH the diamond for
its first contest, but that it will
furnish lovers of the game the
same grade of high class amateur
ball to which they have been ac-
custOmed for several years.

To check a probable epidemic OF
dipbtheria in Great Falls the Cascade
county health department is bending
every effort at the present time, ac-
cording ct DIR. r. L. FOard OF the
United States public health service ana
consultant to the health department.
Unless public cooperation is given in
sta mining out the spread og dlph-
iberia. which he says is one OF me
most dangerous and most virulent, Dr.
Foard said it is highly probable that an
endemic of the disease will rage IN the
city after school opens in September.
The reason for this. he explained. IS
that much of the d phtherla that mas
occurred during the summer has been
IF so mild a form that IT WAS suspect
ed to be only sore throat and no repor
Of its existence was made to the health
DEPARTMENT. Because the disease Is

a child who is perfectly well appar-
emily. may be a diphtheria carrier. and
NAV spread the disease to any num-
Der of well persons for an indefinite
length of time" DIR. Foard said.
Peak Every Seven Years
The fact that diphtheria has been on
the increase since 1915 is indicative of
the danger of an epidemic in that the
disease runs in cycles and reaches its
peak usually in the seventh year. DIR.
Foard said. He cited figures to show
the increase of the disease since 1919.
when there we're four cases. In 1916
there were II cases; in 1917. IA; in
1918. %: in 1919, 81: in 1920. 81: and
in 1921 60. Up to the present time IN
1922 there have been 81 cases with IL
deaths. which is more than five times
the number Of fatalities in 1921, when
but two deaths resulted.
Strict isolation of a diphtheria pat
lent is essential in preventing the
spread of the disease. the doctor ex-
planned. declaring that the disease is
one of the most dangerous known. AS
described in a pamphlet by the United
States public health service. diphtheria
is "a disease of the throat, nose or
