W Those who pin faith to tljo groundhog theory may now look forward to ids woo lis of fair woatlior, the Eohiir ! weather forecast to the contrary, notwithstanding. .Tnth u'liitfhnr riiitilitinnu fur Foiiutgr TjUjiuiji'h recent unusually bitter utterances in tho Senate, we are unable to say. Nevertheless ..*o caguut help but admire the Senator'* grit. Tho American newspaper was founded by t hristinn gentlemen and is still published by men whose only hope of reward is a free pass into tho pearly gates, most certainly their just due. Hero's iv hearty handshake and congratulation to Intendunt Hall and t)ic now oouncil. May the year IDOU be one of happiness and prosperity to those who by tho vote of tho people liuvo boon placed in charge of the town's utl'uirs for thu year. There are altogether too ninrjy pooplo who uro satisfied if they enn at tlio cud of fhe year just pay out and make ends meet. While this is better than to run behind, a man should have ambition to do something more. There are largo possibilities connected with saving even so small an amount us 9&0 u yea*'. I5y way of explanation for his opposition to tho bill to increase the appropriation for thu State militiu, Mr. Ardrey points out that in UMH the inili tiu was given 98,000, while in ltKW thu appropriation \yus increased to 915,000. Besides this a State armory was built at u cost of ftl.OOO, and Mr. Ardrey ? i.illlru fl... r >1... ttlut.. io .1..:.. . -I. .M.U.VH ? ?!> VUU k'lUlU ?."> UUIII|4 l<IIUUj{l> for the militia without r,u inoruuso. Albort Patrick, who wassentenced to dio for the niurdor of Millionaire Kioe, has beeu granted a reprieve of forty days by the governor of New York, on account of newly discovered ovidenco in behalf of the condemned man. Pattrick's guilt has not, in the opinion of many people, been clearly proven and should ho visit the death chair the otllocr who sends his Soul to the great beyond can never rest assured that he has executed a murderer. -W Wo doff a large and cordial hat to the management of the South Carolina College upon its decision to ubolish football from tip) the lists of si>orts at the ! institution. Tip) list of fatalities the past seasnu throughout the country reads like returns from a bloody battle. TbiM so called ''sport" is wholly demoralizing, dangerous to life and limb and brings no bene (It to anyone concerned. It ouly remains for the college people to put n stop t? hazing and win honors which would flit it lcl them to a Carnegie or othor medal. Thy following, credited "Unknown," i ia too good to bo lost: We lovo the man with the rose on his tongue, the matt who sees the boy's dirty face but mentipus bis bright eyes. who notices your tihubby oout but praises your studious habits, the man who soos all faults but who is quick to praise, slow to blame. ) We like to meet a man whose smile \y?ll brighten up (loudness, whose voiee is full of music qf the birds, whoso handshake is au inspiration and his God bless you a benedict ion. He makes us forgot our troubles us the raven's dismal oroqk it forgotten when the wood thrush slugs, thai biess the mutt of cheer. There is plenty of trouble hero aud we need not ittereaso it. Tliere Is a let cf dying doue ahead of time. Every citizen who has the up buildjug and welfare of the town at heart should make u liberal contribution to tho fuud for the erection of a steel bridge over Sugar crook. With a public donation of one-third the amount necessary wo feel confident that the oountlcs of Lancastor aud York will respond with a like amount. The need of it fltood. milwUiiiiul I _ . .?miim^u hi i ma point igcans much to l'ort Mill, ami es peoinlly our butliip?< men, to whom n large volume of business comes from I beyond the ? r lek. Piuuvillv is making a bid for the trade from that section by building good roads ami bridges aud with our advautago in distance, it docs seom that 1'Vrt Mill could hold the business by offering like inducements. SoUjribo lib*'rally to the fund and let's build the bridge. The good i\suU will eonie later. Aside from the usual interest in the proceedings of tjie legislature there is r msiderablo amusement to bo had in watching I bo reports of the number of fooliah aud worthless measures that are ' offered for euacitou. For instance, wo hare just read iff a bill to compel one who uiakes oath ho fore an officer of ih i ' law to place the right hand on the bill hie while the right hand i? upheld. The bill was killed after some discus * hiou because t lie normal persou has but diio ritfht huud. Thou ou tho lint, wo I find n Lill to dinfmnchiso a niun upon | liin third conviction of drnukeiiiiogH. j . Tnis wins likewise killed in short order. j 1 Sncll bills lire onlv ail and ar<< not worth tho paper on which they uro written. But what wo uro wondering ut is how undor tho nun those who offor such utterly worthless measures (. managed to gut a sent in that honorable body which makes laws for a sousiblo people. Tho Times has received from tho t Ving's Mountain chapter, !). A. It., a i very interesting aui leghthv oommuni- I cation, and it is with regret that wo cannot, owing to its length, publish tho < article. The ladies are seeking to t arouse interest and enlist tho co opor- ' ution of tho people in g movement to I erect in the Nutionnl Statuary Hall in Washington a statuo of John C. Culhoiin. Tho legislature at its present 1 session is to be asked to appropriate tho sum of $25,000 for the purpose and tho 1 ladies upi>cul to tho jsioplo of tho Stnte to nsp their iufiuouco with tho legislu- j la tors o their respective counties in securing the approprition. Practically every Stato in the Union, except South Carolina, is represented in Statuary Hull, and it is hopod that our legislature will no longer allow our State's plnco to remain empty. There is certainly none more worthy a place than South Carolina's most honored sou, John C. Calhoun, A Fine Showing. From the Greenwood Journal. i "According to tho State's correspondent at Fort Mill, tho recent municipal election at that place has been quite a 1 spirited one, resulting in a tie vote. Tho present incumbent is Mr. W. 13. Meacli- 1 am, a brother of Mr. T. 13. Moacham of this city. That Mr. Meaoham is tho ' man for the place is clearly shown by 1 tho udmirable showing that, he 1ms ' made during his administration. It. ' seems that he was opposed solely on the ' ground that lie had been open and fearless and uncompromising in the administration of t lie laws. This to his cred- 1 it, t>nd wo predict at this distance that ' the host people in that little town were ' his strong supporters, and that ho will go in at th?> next election. Farther, if any illegal votes wore polled, we guar- 1 autoo that it was done hy Mr. Meach- j urn's opponents. "lint hero is an account of the good ' work ho has done: The mayor early in ^ the year auuounced a minimum fine of $.1 for conviction for drunk and disor- ^ derly conduct and promised to double the line for the second conviction. This J policy has resulted in the collection of ( nearly $1,01)0 in flues during the past year. "The munieipal affairs have been ad ministered with wisdom and economy, as shown by the fact that in the past | few years about three-quarters of a mile of macadam streets have been laid. Ooiuont sidewalks, six and eight foot wide, have been put down on both sides of Main street, and on part of Confederate street, and electric lights installed in the business streets. "All this has been clone on a tax levy of only two mills and without incurring a cent of debt. The town now owes only $ll>0, part of the bonded debt for the town hall built several years ago, and these bonds are uot for sale even to the town, which has offered to take them up." - ?
