Euteredat the post office ut Fort Mill, fi. 0.. as ?uoou4 class matter. JANUARY 9, 1908. The proposition of Representative -T H SHVP niihliahoi In m. jother column, to ask the coming Legislature to abolish the York chaingang is being freely discussed on this side of the Catawba, and is looked upon with favor by many of our people. The gang j nas been in this township for1 sometime and a majority of the 1 roads leading out of town have j been worked by the gang. The ; people vy'no travel these roads tells us that they are in a worse condition than they have been in years, and ihat they would have been a great deal better had the gang remained away. Others, however, claim that the roads will show a great improvement1 when the weather settles and they become dry and packed. As we see it, the latter argument is the more plausible. But from a point of permanency, we think the county is throwing away fnoney in the work. The loose dirt whicn has been thrown into ,the roads will donbtless wash away during the year and the boles and ruts next winter will be as much in evidence as ever, and the chaingang will then be as much needed in Fort Mill as when it came here some weeks ago. We withhold an opinion as to whether it would be wise i nhnlicli < lio phtiinnronir Unl l?n Wf V*W*kWFia WAAV VIItAJ UUW L?V" lieve that the county would benefit its p<jople much more if the gang would, even at a greater cost, use more rock and less loose dirt in the wo . of rebuilding the highways. In Chicago, reports say, a mil- I lion dollars in presents was given to their employes by the promi-j nent business houses on Christmas day, which would seem to indicate that the giving of presents by employer to employe is growing in favor from year to year. This practice should be followed each Christmas and it will eventually become general throughout the country. A | Christmas present to an employe adds the element of "personal touch" to a relationship all too apt to be wholly commercial and perfunctory. If the man who Works believes that the man for whom he works has a direct and individual interest in his welfare the former is bound to render i a better service in consequence. ' We dare say that there would be fewer strikes if the practice of remembering employes on Christmas was more generally followed. It is surprising the number of .our citizens who through neglect or a lack of interest in the matter allowed the books of registration to close Friday without obtaining registration certificates. Out of a probable voting strength of 250, the town officers for the next two years are to be elected by less than a hundred voters. Now, mark this: the loudest criticisms and hardest kicks which the incoming council will receive will be from some of these fellows who of their own volition take! the place , of the silent "e" in matters pertaining u> the town's government. The citizens of Lancaster are to be congratulated upon the excellent judgement displayed in the selection of Mr. T. Mcl. Hughes as mayor of that town. Mr. Hughes is a successful business man, a citizen who takes pride in his town, and under his guidance Lancaster may be expected to set a more glib puce in the march of progress. And, by the way, Mr..Hughes is another Fort Mi 1 man who is serving to make Lancaster famous. Someone asked us last week why we didn't "chunk" un the I council about the many mud holes in the streets of the town. Our answer was that we had "chunked," and "chunked." until we had run out of "chunks," and, besides, with the means at hand, we think that the present pouncil has done its best for the streets, and thar. it has received its full quota of "chunks." Here's hoping that your New Year resolution remains intact, and that you included therein a pledge to help The Times work for your town and community during the year 1908. Already several who mounted the wagon have dropped the whiD. The driver should steer ? /clear of stumps. This is election year, and ere r Jong the oily-tongue I noliiician will be abroad in the !a id. A n, edule fcfh South R:; The rainier'$ Greatest Help. Road building is the best investment the farmers of any 1 community can make. The im- 1 provement not only saves them money in the transaction of their i regular business, but it adds 1 greatly to their permanent wealth i by increasing the value of their i lands. Did you ever notice how 1 much easier it is to sell a farm 1 on a pike road than anywhere i else in in the country? And the owner of the_ farm on the pike j < road always gets a good deal ] more for his land than the ' man on the plain dirt road!1 gets/ In some States country ] roads are built and graveled at < the assessed expense of the prop- | erty along the roads. Bonds are j issued as to make the payment of < the expense t asy. When the I first road is projected there is i generally more or less objection < from those affected, buf when it. 1 is completed the objections are > turned to praise and then peti- 1 tions to have other roads im- J proved come thick and fast. In < that way whole communities are ;' made rjch, the people are made < prosperous and happy and other ; 1 people seek homes in the same j locality. It works the same ev-1 erywhere. Any community is! standing in its own light if it is 11 careless about the condition of j the public roads. If they cannot be macadamized, the split log < drag will help them wonderful-1 i ly. Try it. Would Abolish the Chaingang. | Yorkville correspondent of Charlotte Observer: I)r. Joseph H. Saye, one of York's repre-1, sentatives in the legislature, was j' in town today and stated that it ' 1 was his purpose to make a faith- 1 ful effort at the coming session to secure the passage of a bill ( providing that a property tax of ( not less than two mills shall be j, levied in the county to be used j, exclusively for improving the;' .public roads, and also to provide | i that the work shall be done by J contract. It is hi?? purpose to try to do away with the chain- j gang as a county institution, but as to now tnis is to be accom- ( plished he has not yet figured out. It is generally conceded ] that work done by the gang costs from two to three times as < much as it would were it done j by contract. The gang rarely , ever numbers over twenty-five J and as a result the necessary , expense for guards and other items render it very expensive, i j as two or three times the force could be handled at practically j the same expense. Another j feature in connection with the gang is the fact that it has been ^ the policy of the commissioners j for several years to use it as a . vote-catcher instead of road- ' improver. It is moved about j j from township to township, and owing to the short time it re- ) mains in one locality is unable j to do permanent work, and invariably leaves the roads in a ! shape that they soon become worse than before. At the last session of the legislature a law was enacted providing that the i gang should not be employed in ( York county except in building [ permanent roads. The law has been ignored by the commissioners. no Dermanent roads, sn far as is known, having been built this year. The Prohibition Wave. I Mr. James E. Tnyno, one of ' the best known and most creditable whiskey dealers in this j section, who did business in 1 Greenville many years under the ] saloon system and then conducted { a beer dispensary under the ' State dispensary system, but 1 who is now doing business in Augusta, was here today on his , way back home from Salisbury, N. C., to which point, be says ' he is going to remove when the Georgia prohibition law runs 1 him out of that State, savs the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier. "But." said Mr. Payne, 1 'this thing of being chased about from ( pillar to post is not suiting me. '< 1 am going to get out of the 1 business entirely soon as I can do so without too g eat a financial "j loss. I am tired of running from . this prohibition wave. I enjoy 1 a good jug trade in South Euro- t lina and will retain this and get i more when I go to Salisbury, but it won't l)e long before tin4 ( North Carolina Legislature takes 1 a fool noiion to pass a prohibition ( law in that Slate, and South j Carolina is going to do the same { tmng on or hofore the same i time. Little .Jimniij >ees the > handwriting on the wall and is i going to run to cover." i Continuing Mr. Payne spoke c of the ineffectiveness ot the l present North Carolina 1?.\v as to shipping from one North ( Carolina county to another. ( "Last Saturday nig'nt," lit r said, "six express t irs full of $ stuff want out of Salisbury toward South Carolina.

C. Botzer, of Charlotte, was oi found Monday afternoon by a 01 couple of colored men standing w in Sugar creek a short distance B from Barber's bridge. The ani- bl mal had left the road and when h; it attempted to cross the creek tl the buggy to which it was tl hitched had become securely v; fastened between two trees and ? it could go 110 further. The colored men unfastened the horse and brought it to town. The presence of the horse and buggy in this place is accounted pi for by the fact that late Sunday <.1 afternotn two smooth-faced i?! young men drove the equippage u into Fort Mill and hitched the u' horse to a shade tree on ('lehoum street. This occurrence attracted ... no especial attention, it being an ,nordinary event, but later on the V; two young men were seen to board No. 33, which left Fort jV Mill quite late, for the south. J During the night the horse broke 1? her hitching rein and got away. A search of the town was made but nothing was heard of the team until it was discovered in the creek. Mr. Botger was notified by i . phone that his horse had been j'j found and came down for it on \v the evening train. He explained that the horse and vehicle had rh aeen stolen from the grounds of the First Presbyterian church _ 3undav morning while he was ittending service with his family. The young men who stole the; ' ;eams are said to have left a Sr lote in the buggy thanking him j"] for the use of same, and stating hat they had gotten into trouble n Charlotte and did not have *u; ime to await the departure of a train. jth Those Who Will Vote. ab Following is a complete list of u." ;hose who have registered and ire entitled to \a>te in next Tues- ,ii. lay's election: 'i> Ward W.
