For two days during the pas' week the county chain gang was employed in mncndniui/.ing Withers street, which runs through that part of Fort Mill known as Sprnttville. The Times learns from the sup 'lintend mt of the gang that it it will require at least three weeks' to finish the work undertaken in this township. Then the gang Nv'd he moved to the Waters hill, in Catawha township, which is said to be in worse condition at present than any other part of the public roads in York county. Catawba township is one of the two townships in the county in which no work has been done by the chain gang since it was established live years ago, the other township being lief he.-,da.

Io< k 1 i i i 1 im I! 101 >u. v .eI j eina.ed and there seems to be li le ; | . alarm f t ;o a .-pi d. at| ( m. V > The Proposed lion J Issue. Tim first regular moetino of tin* town council eleolod on the l?th instant was held last Friday al'terii-? 'ii. at wliich nil the metnbets were pr? sent. The meet ins.; proved unusually* iuterestinir and much diseussioii was arouseil by the consideration of a matter wbieh will bkely eommaud more than p i--in;; attention. ()ne of the e< uneilmen stavteil the bail rolling; by proposino that LlO-yeur town bonds to the amount of be issued for streit improvements; and it was argued by the eouneilman who made the proposition, that the most inaetieable way of raisinir iiumev (o improve tin1 streets would I?t* to issue bonds. The establishment of a dispensary in Fort Mill would furnish sntiieieiit revt line to obviate tlie neeessary of the bond issue, but there are objectionable natures about the dispensary. Posterity would receive greater benefits from improved stieois than the present general ion. and it should be arranged for those who succeed u s to help b? ar t he burdens of t In se improvt m nts. None will gainsay that the stiocts of Fort .Millsh.ouM be improved, and it is a waste of words to talk about property values enhancing or th ' populat i > i f f I lie town increasing until we do something to make such t lungs probable The contentions that our taxes are low and that as the town is practically iineneiiiiibi red it is best not to eliange these conditions, do n< t receive seiioii- thought by those who own property luce ami li >pe to see it increase in value. There isn't a progressive town in the State which isn't in debt an ! in which taxes are art* not higher than hero. To show that i' i ? u e. proposed to enter into an extravagant scheme to raise money with which t?? improve the streets, it has been ear-fully calculated lli<t ail increase of 1mills over the present assessment, or ;?' _? mills, all told, wdl n:i\ tln? ini.a ..,.#1 . .(?I...

According t?> a recent issue <ii the Ii<>0k liiil i 1? raid, Kock llili |>iiys 12 mills on her 'axnble property, unci the question of inereasin^ the taxation by mi addition b mills is lioin;; agitated. Thus showing that our jiro postal taxation is exec , dimply nominal. The imt i-lxmil peo] h; of Fort -Mill claim that t h is taxat ion would hear unduly on the mill interests of the place and would operate to keep other [ ro posed invest ments of tlie kind away from Fort Mill. The answer to this is. a j^roat many people object to paying taxes to educate poor children; but t!ic State ant liorit ies all over the country have declared it to be lejrnl. and even exp client, to tax the wealth of the land to educate1 its people to a better citizenship, in that better citizenship ipves inereased value to any locality. This same argument applies with as much force to the prop i.seil 1) ?ud issue, in that eveiy 1??w 11 t h . t issues honds invites, l?y its public spiritedness, progressive people, where n (ieju'i town rope's tle-io. The immigration of this class of p pie enhances the value of the property of any town and insures a hotter and more intelligent class of help in every department, ami thus I 11elits even those who oppose it. Witness the town i f tinstouia ( N. in wli ell the mill operators insist on employing only the host In lp that can he had, thereby | ayino larger dividends than the other mills in tliis section of the country.

Tiio article published in these columns last week under I lie caption "Dispontiary Talk in fort Mill" has created a oreat deal of comment in this community and lias resulted in more l.aisli wards and wry faces beiii)* made at the editor than was anticipated \vl en the nr'iele was written. Imbed, the nrliele seems tv? have struek a popular chord, of disapproval. It was made the basis of at b as! one anti-dispcusary sermon and was also referred to repeatedly a' another religious service. In bis sermon Sunday morniiut. lb v. Mr. Finch, pas* or of the Hap tist church in this place, observed tbat The Times of last week con tniiit'd information to the etfeet that certain citizens of Fort Mill wetc discussing the advisability of a dispensary beinrf locat< d licrc. lie (h -non need tli i mitation and did not waul to see a dispensary opened in Fort M ill. A congregation that taxed 111" seating capacity of the Fort Mill Methodist church was in attendance Sunday afternoon to hear the ant i-dispt iisary sermon of llev. M .. \ i none, as it was anticipated that lie would unite S nth Carolina's liquor system hip and thi^h. And the lari^e eoni^rcaat ion was not disappointed. Mr. \ In^an his sermon by reading from the I ist issue of The Times the article relative to a disp n.arv in l-'ort Mild i! e d-uoiiiinated the article an "editorial" ami then paid his respects to tin* i d:tor. I ae revenue feature of the dispensary benefits the dispenser only, and lie would rather ii.Jit a blind tiper than a tiijer with both eyes wide open. We would not macadamize the streets of F?.rt Mill with the money leveniic from a dispensary, but with the you no manhood of the low ii.

[The time st't'ins opportune t ? direct the nitration of the readers of 1 his paper to the fact that The limes was not commit ted to the establishment of a disp -usury in I'ort Mill by the publication of a news nrticl on the subject last week. In justice to the ministers whose sermons are noted above, however, it should be stated that, so far as we are in formed, in-it ln-r of tlieui have made such a charm*. When The Tillies conclud s that the interests o| t his coin in tin. ty can best lie subserved by t lie eslabi i di m e n t of a d is-h nsary in 1 <a t .Mill, covert words shall not be employed to make its posits a known.
