Thorn, seaon's place, east of liock Hill, is A ? now h tiling of the past; that is. so fur as the legal pitting of chickens is concerned. This pleasing news is gleaned from the Bock Hill Herald of Saturday. It lemained for the trustees of the Leslie school to administer the death blow to the cockpit and this they have done by obtaining a charter for their school. The State law prohibits cock fighting within three miles of any chartered institution of learning. The pit on Thomatson's place, according to The Herald, is located auly a fraction over a mile from the Lesslie school, and that the institution is now chartered, the pit must go. The people of the community are determined to break up this nuisance und promise to take the matter into comt if any njore chicken fighting is done at that place. The Thomasson cock pit has been the scene of many wholesale butcheries of blooded chickens, and many a young man has visited me piace wiiu 11 ih nara-earnea money, only to lie relieved of his * coin mid sent away penniless. 1 Not only this but this pit has been 1 a general resort fur drunkenuess and rowdyism, and hr.a been the cause of great annoyance to the ? good people in the community i where it was located, besides a t nuisance to York county and the . State. Its doom is welcomed. Good Jtoad*. A subject which bobs up and do- 1 mauds discussion at all seasons of t the year is that of good roads, Hnd j the season is now at hand when the farmers realize the need of improvements along this line. It is 1 n fact that the farmers, who are e the chief beneficiaries of good t country roads, are not yet fully awake to the importance of improvement, and until they are 1 ready to act the problem will not 1 be solved. i New York is said to have the f best roads of any State in the ^ Union, while Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, lends in quality an mileage any county in the South in macadam. The roads have added much to the value of i property and wealth of the people t where they have been built, and s we are pleased to uote that the farmers of other sections are c awakening to the need of better c highways. The good roads of New - York slate were built through t legislation brought about by the t fanners, and the firming cIhss of any othei state nan have just as e tmicli influence as those of New f York, if they will only do so. < When the farmer sees tit to put "] his best foot forward in the mat- ^ ter of good roads the result will he t of great benefit to all, and especially to the farmer himself. c "Qwyen to Law." j An exchange tells of a negro ' who went before a justice of the J peace and swore that there was a , another negre in the neighbor- ] hood who ho was afraid of and wanted him placed under a peace I) >nd. At the trial ten negro men 1 and one woman were present. The ' lawyers made noble and loud ' speeches that could be heard aoross the square. The negro gave his bond and the colored hi-pilir..n weet nvvay happy, i It ia astonishing with what ] bawle h negro rushes into a law suit with another negro. He had i rather have a lawsuit than eat 1 rlueken.pie or pound cake. Some white men are juat an big fools alx>ut going to law to right an itn- < aginary wrong as negroes; yet they forget that the one who wins a suit in law pays out more money for lawyer's fees and other expenses than he recovers by Inw. So both the plaintiff and defendant lose in money, time and sometimes in reputation- J3aoh anxious and eager to win, yet both litigants lose in the legal battle. ( Attorney General U. X. Gnnter 1 was on Tuesday reported danger- 1 onaly ill of pleurisy at the home j of but father at bates burg, I it,* American Tyranny? Some of the brethren of the press in this section of the country have for several day? been tearing their hair, so to ep-ak, over what they teruj tyranny or brutality on she part of the American soldiers in killing out s bund of Moro out' laws near Jolo iu the Philippines, while, as a matter of fnet, the re' ports of tiie battle do not seem to warrant such an accusation. These Moro people are described as plain, ordinary, everyday brig unds. They had harried, robbed and murdered not only Americans, but their own countrymen. They had defied and resisted the authority of the sultan of their jwu country, as well as all the iletuanda of the Uuited States government. Under coyer of darkness they had barricaded them selves iu an almost impenetrable fortress (the crater of an extinct irolcauo) and from there pursued their murderous and thievish work in defiance of both native and American forces. Their attitude made it not a question of snbmisuission to American rule, hut a juesiioci of regard for any rule at ill, and for the peace and safety of die Moro people. The band was -xtermiuateu because it could not lot be CHptured, and killed not bemuse its members were patriots esisting invasion of their country ?ut because they were a lawless ind menacing s^t of brigands. As for the killing of the women md children, this appears to have seen unavoidable by the Ameri;ans and due to the cowardice of he Moi-oh, for it is said that the votneu and children were placed n front as a defense for their cowirdly men. While the killing is leplorable, it is perhaps best, even it the eacaitioe of the women and 1 k i 1 vl rn 11 t kit f t ?- '1 ,iiiiviiviit Iiini< inc V/UU llll J to iiu >f tliin band of desperadoes. Believing thkt the matter of educating one's children is of equal mportance to all men, the writer ihall not rack hia brain or kill a ot of space in propounding the vhys and wherefores every ma:: n this school district should atend the meeting to be held in the mil Monday afternoon to deoide ipon whether an election shall >e called to decide upon an extra ax levy for the improvement and uipport of the Fort Mill graded ichool. That improvements, espeoo the building, are much needed, s clear to anyoue who has recently visited the school. It is the luty of every citizen to be present, vhether he favors or opposes the ax, and give his views in the mater, A Good Way to AdvertiseIf the commercial club is seekng a plan to advertise the town he following may be worth con. lidering: It is not what Lexington prints m the backs of envelopes that :ounts so much with a progressive itranger, but the very fact that here is enough enterprise in the own to print anything on the mvelopes is what impresses the itranger with the town. It's a good idvertisement. Are you having ponr envelopes printed this way? Don't be afraid it's a scheme to five the job p~inter work. It's for he good of the town?Ditpntch.
