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

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,

bonds in 2:) years, or liy tho time
they become due. 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.

The romlil ion of tlio streets

An cut the Dispensary.
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. Loos 111 list hi? furnish* u t<?
run a saw mill, just as human lo^s 1
11111 -1 in* forthcoming to insuit* the
success of a wiiisliy mill.
[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.
