It was the Gaffney Ledger, we believe, that said Mr. Lyon would win hands down. ?? Indications at present are that the next legislature will not have the power to "kill" the dispensary. Now is the time for all good men, and bad ones, too, to renew t leir subsctiptions and pay for that old one. Cole Blease, at least, has the consolation of feeling that "it is better to have run and lost than not to have run at all." Say, neighbor, if you have a i son or daughter that you wish to see succeed in life start him or her to school next Monday. The difficulty with which the ; force of Bell telephone employes secured accomodations while here the past week is further evidence of Port Mill's need of another or larger hotel. With apologies to the Columbia State, we wish to note the j fact that Senator B. R. Tillman got something like 3,000 stratehes less than he d'd in his last elec- : tion, according to our recollection. ^Presuming that Mr. Gonzales, 1 <of.tbe Columbia State, is about! the itchiest man in the State, over the result of the primary, we would suggest that he lie i down flat on his stomach and get1 Col. Hemphill, of the News and Courier, to scratch him. The people of the State have declared themselves, and theState dispensary system will re main. This declaration has been made ?: u.. *i.,.i *:? ..a Ill Lilt? pi illicit y uy tut" t:it"t:LUMi ill iboth a senate and house l'avora- j 'ble to the system in fact pledged toit.?Columbia Record. And now, some of the antis over on this side claim that had Mr: McCain remained out of the the race the old hoard would have won out in the first election. Granting this, those who make the claim are perfectly justifiable in expressing themselves as ready to "kick" Mr. Brice for inducing Mr. McCain to enter' Nthe race, as they allege. f We would be pleased to see the ; Commercial Club make an effort to secure better mail facilities for Fort Mill. The town needs another mail south each day, and a petition from the club would j accomplish more and better results tnan from any other source. Then, -too, there is need at the j .depot for a mail box in which to .deposit mail to be taken up by the railway mail clerks, and this could probably be had for the j asking. Other towns have these 1 .cwiiveiiicuuta, auu s\ ny iiul run i Mill? There has been little complaint, so far as we have heard, over the opening and operation of the bucket shop here. This is probable dye to the general belief that the next legislature, like i tho3e of North Carolina and j Georgia, will rid the Stale of! these institutions which are so detrimental to the welfare of the people in the communities in which they operate. It has been ; said that a man, once he has be-' come a habitual customer of the bucket shop, loses all fitness for business and citizenship through ins one unu conceit traced tTTUogTTi as to the movements of the markets. With the loss of sleep and appetite, which necessarily results in health failure, there is little surprise at the frequent suicides which result from un^ fortunate dealings with these ^ gambling houses. It is a pleasure to note, as stated by t ht: York ville Enquirer, that all of the: York county candidates for t ho j Legislature are oppcsjd to gamH bling in cotton. We hope that H .every county in the State will send delegations to Columbia who will vote solidly to run the cotton exchanges out of South j^B Carolina. I T'h^ John (). iu SpruM villi*. Pohscmhiou Nov. Ayyly to K E. IK m Official Report of the Primary. Contrary to the report circu-, lated throughout the county Wednesday to the effect that Messrs. Ardrey and Saye were elected on the first ballot as members of the general assembly, the official report issued Friday put Mr. I Ardrey in the second race and elected Mr. S. II. Epps and Dr. Saye. The official figures put Messrs. McCain, Beamguard and Neil out of the race and necessitate a second rac.Q for the following places: House of Representatives, Ardrey, Glasscock, Massey and Slaughter; county supervisor, J no. F. Gordon and T. W. Boyd; county commissioners. Ladd J. Lumpkin, W. J. Foag, J. E. Leech and John C. Kirkpatrick. The other candidates declared elected were: II. 1 A. D. Neely. county treasurer; L. It.

Heath, a well known citizen of VVaxhaw. Union county, died suddenly of heart failure Sunday at 12.o0 o'clock p. m. at the home of his brother, Mr. O. P. Heath, of Charlotte. Mr. Heath was sitting on the porch conversing with his brother, when, without speaking the word that was on end of his tongue, he threw up his hands to his breast immediately over his heart, and, falling backward, expired in a lew moments. Mr. Heath was a relative of i Messrs. T. B. and C. H. Belk, of J Fort Mill. I < US Opening of GraJed Schools. The city schools will open the fall session on Monday, September 10th, at 9 o'clock. The .."acuity for the session is Prof. .f. H. Witherspoon. principal; Miss Bessie Poag, of Ebenezer, Miss Minnie Garrison, of Pineville. and Misses Bertha Massey and Willie Iloke, of this place, assistants. It is urged that pupils who are away, and those who intend leaving in the meantime, will return and be present on the day of the opening, September 10th. A larger humber is expected at the beginning of the coming session than ever before, and it may be a problem to seat all who apply for admission. The pupils who are present on the first day of school will have choice of seats. During the coming session it is hoped that every boy and giri ol school age in the vicinity will attend the school. The trustees, and faculty urge the co-operation of parents and citizens in urging tiie attendance of boys and girls who have not been accustomed to going to school. Let every one who believes in the cause of education consider himself a missionary in the great work yet to be done. Don't forget the date of the opening, Monday. September 10. Bell and Fonville Are Still Here. The Charlotte News of Saturday stated that Hell and Fonville who closed their office in that, city recently and moved to this place, had left Fort Mill and opened business in Rock Hill. Notice of the firm's removal, the News says, was gleaned from the columns of the Rock Hill Herald and no cause was assigned for their departure from Fort Mill. The Herald is entirely in error. The bucket shop is slid here and is said to he doing a good business, we are sorry 1o learn. Messrs. Bell and Fonville, the proprietors, have we understand, bought the cotton exchange of D. A. Hurley, at Roc.lc Hill, and this deal is probably the cause of the Herald's statement that the firm had quit business here. Would Change Their Political Views. A South Carolinian, while visiting Charlotte a few days ago had this to say to a Chronicit^vi porter of political at Fairs in ^iis county: "There are six men to run o# r. ! i ii ^ 11 i - i ilu. tiiui tney are equally uiviue<J^nr j and against the dispensar \^^Hc Tillmanitos have already , to stir thcmstlves for tl^^^rc! tion of Gapt. 1. mK ! Fort Mill; Mr. Glnsscock^^jMr. Slaughter, all vowed st^^prt.ers of Tillman and his liqu<^Volicy. Of course the antis aro^ff their guard to elect Messrs. Fpps, Beamguard and Dr. M; tsey." The Chen aide's informant evidently has little, if any knowledge of York's political affairs. In the first place, there are o ily four candidates in th ? second race for the House; Ardrey, Massoy, Glasscock and Slaughter. Secondly, Mr. Artlrey does not favor the State dispensary and stated as much several times during the recent county canvass. Mr. Kpps, who was elected in the first race, is a straight-out Tillmanite and a strong believer in State control of the liquor business. Sv> far as we can learn t her?4 is little work bang done by either side for their favorites in the second primary. Mayor Roddey Opposes Bucket Shop. The bucket shop question is assuming a serious nature in Rock Hill. For several days heated controversies have been carried on through the columns of The Record of that city he! w een Mayor Roddey opposing the exchanges and Mr. F H. Alexander, their advocate. The situation reached a climax Friday morning. A negro wan arraigned in Mayor Roddey'a court on the chrrge of gambling. The mayor took the posit' >n that if the city council allowed the cotton exchanges to operate within the limits of the town, that he had no right to impose a penalty upon this negro, who was absolutely devoid of intelligence and who had only about 15 cent.-. The recent opening- of another exchange in that city has grouped a bitter protest against the exchanges and Mayor Roddey is determined, it seems, to use all his energies in driving them wot of 1 lock 1 lill.

I XblJ X ...... - / Mecklcnburp's First Bale. Mr. J. A. Blakeney, of Providence township, yesterday hauled to Charlotte the first bale of Mecklenburg's new cotton crop, says the Charlotte Observer of August 30. The bale, weighed 557 pounds unci was classed as strict middling. It was purchased by Mr. W. A. Wat: >n, at 111-2 cents per pound. For 24 years now Mr. Blakeney has been journeying to Charlotte with the first new bale. A portion of Mr. Blakeney's farm consists of red land which he plants early and which matures rapidly. In this way he has been able to hold the record for almost a quarter of v. century. Last year Mr. Blakeney placed the first bale of now cotton on the local market August 2S, ten day . earlier than ihis season's first bale. The Nev/sp?.rw. There seems to be n feeling among a certain class of business men that a newspaper has no right to make money. Why not? it is the most exacting business in the world, the most trying in every way. The newspaper has the entire public to deal with. It is eritioi ed on every hand. It has to d<*al w ith nil the cranks in a community, and to do this successfully requires jud rment and patience. It has power, and that power, to - he credit of journalism, is nearly always'wielded for the public good. No <;uostion of vital concern to th people fails to find, a strong support from the paper, and tl is ion without remuneration. The publisher spends his money to fur hi r those projects and the community never gives a thought to the matter of cost to him. k is not paid out of the public pocket. The newspapers want every concern to prosper. YV hy should not this good will he mutual? To make a profit, a newspaper must have living rates for both paper and 1 advertising space. ?Exchange.
