Bell. t ? ' ; Fort Mill Times, Aug. 25: J. J. Porter, Sr., of Ebenezer township, who lives near the county river bridge, a few days ago lost .*t thoroughbred greyhound, in an unusual way. The greyhound was chasing another dog, which stopped suddenly when the greyhound was within a few feet of it. The greyhound, running at full speed, was unable to slow down in time to prevent a collision with the other dog and ran headlong into it. The impact caused the death of the greyhound 15 minutes later Rock Hill is to be the home of a new seed store, of which ' E. H.

Aiexanuer .iiuuiu, i?. of Rock Hill The 1921 Foil Mill baseball team ban disbanded, after winning 12 of the 1G pamcs played during the season. Of the four games the team lost, one went to Great Falls, one to Arcade and two to Aragon. The close of the season? found no money in the club's treasury, hut the manager of the team, Wilburn Ferguson, was able to keep down expenses, thereby leaving no debts to be paid by contributions from fans as has been the .case a number of times in recent years when the season ended. A compilation of the batting records of the players lor the season shows that Wilburn Ferguson led with 20 hits and that Douglas Nims came second witii 24 hits. For their good stick work these two players will each be awarded a silver cup by Geo. Fish, general manager of the plants of the Fort Mill Manufacturing company, who lias taken much interest in the fortunes of the team. CI ester Reporter, Aug. 25: The first new cotton was bought this morning by the S. M. Jones Co. from Mr. W. lb Hair, of tlie Halsellville neighborhood.

The driver seems to have been driving at a high rate of speed and struck the side rail of the bridge. The car left the road, ! but landed right side upward in the ; old road Miss Martha Kirkpatrick who was struck Tuesday morning by I an automobile driven by George Davis, is getting along nicely, an x-ray having shown that no hones were broken. ! The young lady was standing at the ! back-end of a watermelon wagon in ! front of The S. M. Jones Co.'s store, | when the car plunged into the rear of ! the wagon, throwing her against the | wagon and injuring her very painfully. The young man <was slowing down his I machine, and probably by accident pushed the car into low gear while attempting to put on the brake A week or two ago The Reporter carried a paragraph to the effect that the opening-up of the new steel bridge at Lock hart and the repairs to the roads in that section to be made by the county of Chester shortly would open up a splendid new territory to .Chester mer-chants, provided they woul^ go after the trade and Union merchants did not have their eyes too much on the same territory. That Union county does not propose to let tins business get away is evidenced from the following from The Union Times, which is referred first to Mr. L. M. Wootan and his board for their consideration, then to the local merchants, who have the opportunity to bring new business to Chester if they can make it more inviting to the trade in question to come here than go to Union: "Lastweek The Times published an article from The Chester Reporter warning the Union merchants that Chester was going after the Union county trade, since the Lock hart bridge bad been completed and going made easy. A good friend of ours traveled the road from Lockhart to Wllkinsville (WUksburg) yesterday and said Chester would have j t<i be up and doing if she wanted any i tru.de from Union county, for the roads | were "perfectly awful'' in places nnd J none too good in others.

More than once this newspaper has deplored the laxness of our Courts, the ease with Which criminals and lawbreakers can escape punishment. There are tbo many Judges: on the bench today in North Carolina J who are courting popular fivor. They don't want to be strict with the law. And that is one of the strongest reasons why there is so much lawlessness in Gaston county today. The evil doers are not afraid. They turn themselves over to a lawyer who extracts a good sized fee from them, in return for which a lenient judge lets them off with a small fine or road sentence. | "Why, Judge Ray sent a man to the roads two years for su'th and such' ari offense," we heard a lawyer say the oilier day. "It is outrageous. Why, if Judge Blank had been holding court ; here, the most would have been sixty days."

He pointed out the acute new! of labor and the attractive compensation j therefor. Hp wrote: "Artificers are | so scarce at present, that all sorts of ! work is very dear; Taylors, Shoe- j makers, Smiths, etc.. would be parti- J' ciiktrly acceptable there." He noted, that' a skilful carpenter "is not ashamed 1c demand" $7.no per day in addition 1o his "diet." The common wages of a workman then amounted to $5 per flay, if he spoke English. I'urry observed tha\ when a workman got lait $2.50 per day "he thinks he labors for almost nothing, though he lias his Maintenance besides." These payments were in Caroliqa money. Shoes at that time cost $10 per pair, since they had to he brought afh the way from England. Thirly years Inter there was no such scarcity, of labor. Another writer on conditions in South Carolina in 1761 gave the wages per day then paid in South Carolina as follows; tailor, $1.25 shoemaker, 56 cents; blacksmith, > $1.M; weaver. 75 cents; bricklayer, |1.50; eooper, $1; carpenters and joiners, from 75 cents to $1.25; day ..

When Women Turn Raiders.?When ivomen turn raiders of distilleries and Undertake a campaign against the liqUor traffic, then woe betide booteggrr and brewers. In Harlan coun:y, Kentucky, women are playing havoc with distilleries and cleaning jp the county despite threats, against their* lives. So active have they been that they hate practically broken up noonshining in that section. When ine woman was notified that her son would be shot if she did "not cease' her activities, she replied that she would rather he would be dead than a drunk-' ird, and she set out on another raid. It is not supposed that Greenwood women arc planning any such war on bootleggers and distillers, but it is known that Greenwood women are bitterly opposed to the bootlegging md liquor making which are such problems for even the efficient officers that Greenwood has. One can only wonder what would happen if the :u*socinted wqmen's clubs of Greenwood would sail into the iK>otleggeys with the erergy they display in other activities.?Greenwood Index Journal.
