Passing of the Cock Pit.
Tlie public generally nnd especially
iiie respectable people of
York county, are gratified to know
that the cock pit at It. F. 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.

"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. (

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

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

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

What do yon think of a painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white

and charging his time for work that is
far better-dona than he oan do it, done
by machinery, done as your horseshoes
and nails are made.
