FORT MUX. 8. C? NOVEMBER IB. Football And It* Toll. Another life has been sacrificed op the football field?another young man In the prime of youth has been the victim of the gridiron. Hardly a week passes but some young collegian lays down his life for his college in the interest of prowess on the football field. Besides there are numberless others : Injured, some permanently, When will this condition of affairs be brought to a close? When will our college authorities abolish this game which caus?9 so much needless loss of j life and injury? Two institutions have | canceled their schedules for the re- ( mainder of this season, but we have no : doubt that next fall these same col- I leges will be in the battle again. Football is a good game in some re- ; ppects apd furnishes admirable training for the men who engage in it. It is I also an exciting game and furnishes great sport for the spectators. But oven if this is admitted, it piust be renumbered that there are a good many tliinge pleasant to engage in, yet they are harmful. Must we allow our college youths to be slain and often mnlmi rl fnr lifu ilief f r\ cof iuf*? r*i 1 e or\_ MWIIIIVU AVI II1C JUOV VV OBilOIJ VUI ? p~ petite for exciting sport and supremacy over other institutions in an athletic way? We think not. Other ways can be found of training the college youth physically, and we already have these means in every college in the country. Let the college authorities abolish football and if they do not seem inclined to do so, then let the law-makers pass an act prohibiting it. Then there will be fewer institutions in gloom and sadness and fewer parents at home in mourning over a loved one who fell on the football field. Give us sport but let it be Jess severe. Wo are truly glad tkat Mr, Taft has finally landed in Washington again. That was a pretty big trip and it ought to do for a long time to come, for the next four years at least. It seems now that the Columbia people were only following precedent in a'king people invited to the Taft luncheon to contribute a ten-spot towards the expenses. 80 maybe Senator Tillman will not feel so bad about it when he finds there nre other places just as inhospitable as South Carolina. There is dryness now in every county in this State except six. The transient population of these six counties will probably be greatly increased from pow on by visitors from the other thirty-six less favored counties. It Vvill be very convenient to have business |n Columbia, Charleston, Florence, Aiken, Beaufort and Georgetown. The open season for hunting commenced on Monday and we suppose the partridges are being slain by the thousands all over the State. Mr. J as. Hipry Kjce wil) npw get busy with the restaurants that attempt to **rVC the delicious "cjupil pn toast," so all proprietors had better take warning; Mr. Kice will certainly prosecute all violations of the law. The York County Fair, Rock Rill Hernjd. The Herald agrees fully with the Fort Mill Times that Yprk county 1 should have a county fair next fall. The Herald hfp? suggested a fnir for the county several times but that was pi! to it, Thi8 county can get up as creditable fair as anv other pmintu in the State and all that is needed ia for the people to get to work on the proposition. Kock IIill would he the best place for the fair and the business men of the city should take the proposition up pt once. A fair w H groat thjng for any com. ! munity, It bFinga people together j pod i?M?? are expressed between each other that dp worlds of good. It piakes the farmer take more interest i jn the raising pf cotton, corn, wheat, oats hogs, chickens, etc. It creates rivalry that cannot be created in any other way. It will bring friends together and it will bring strangers here who will be* pome friends. Let us get together and see if York pounty, one of the best counties in the p)d Palmetto Stufe, cannot have a fair ne*t faJh Kock Hill School Muddle ip Court. The people of Rock Hill are said to he intensely interested in the approaching term of the York county court, Which will convene on Monday, November 22. The first week will be devoted to the criminal calendar, being called the court of general sessions, or the priminpl court. Then the court of com* ipon pleas meets, which considers civil cases onjy, and it Is here that the in. terest v-f Rock Hill is centred, for the pelebrated high schooj^ontroversy is on |he civjl calendar, and it will certainly be tried unless strong rensons for a L continuance are presented by the miWk polity school trustees. | *7: v-1 Only Six Wet Counties. 1 The fifteen counties of this State which last August voted out their dispensaries udner an act of the last legislature clos-d their doors for an indefinite period at the end of the day's business Monday. Several of the fifteen had disposed of their stocks before the end of the final limit Monday and had already closed, but in a few of the ] counties large stocks remain over, and these will have to be sold at viiolesale under the new law. Orangebnrg, which according to a recent checking } up by the dispensary auditor, had un- i paid claims on hand amounting to $43,- J j 000, has been conductiug bargain sales for some days in order to get its big i stock reduced in time. i j The total amount of claims for sup- | plies outstanding: against the fifteen counties is about $250,000, but Auditor West thinks there will be money on hand enough in each county to pay all . claims. If there is not, the question of liaaility will be an interesting one, . as neither the State nor the county > under the law can go back of dispen- 1 sary money to pay such claims. Only six counties are now selling whiskey legally ?Charleston, Aiken, I * Richland, Georgetown, Florence and Beaufort. W. Brown Wylie Dies Suddenly. The announcement by phone Thurs- ( day morning of the sudden and unexpected death at his home in Yorkville Wednesday night of W. Brown Wylie ! was a great shock to the people of Fort Mill and township where he was well known and numbered his friends by the score, Mr. Wylie had been slightly ill for several days, it is said, but those near to hint felt no uneasiness over his condition. He was about the streets of Yorkville Wednesday and in hjs usual spirits, but on being called ! Thursday morning failed to answer and : an investigation revealed the fact that ; he wa,s depd. Heart failurs was given as the immediate cause of death, The ' funeral service was conducted from the Yorkville A. R. P. church Friday at j noon and the interment took place in ; Rose Hill cemetery. Mr. Wylie vas one of the county's ! most highly esteemed citizens, and for | sixteen years previous to January, 1904, j was clerk of Court and was defeated by j a small majority in the previous August i primary. Since retiring from the ' clerk's office he has been connected i with the York Marble Works, as i ' | (j.ncral manager, and later as president and treasurer of the TavoraCotton Mill, | and in both positions, and especially in the latter, made good. He was a graduate of Erskine College, and after graduating taught school for ' a number or years at variuos points in this county. Mr. Wylie was a ruling elder in the Yorkville Associate Re- | ] formed Presbyterian church. He was 1 , about 53 years of age and is survived 1 by a widow and one child, a daughter 10 or 12 years of age, J Life a Funny Proposition. Man comes into this world without \ his consent and leaves it against his will. During his st?y on earth his time is spent in one continuous round . of contraries and misunderstandings by j the balance of our species. In his in- 1 fancy he is an angel; in his boyhood he is a devil; in his manhood he is everything from a lizard up; in his duties he ! is an utter fool, if he raises a family he is a chump; if he raises a small check he is a thief, and then the lawraises the devil with him; if he is a poor man he is a poor manager and has no sense; if he is rich he is dishonest, j but considered sm.*.rt; if he is in politics he is a grafter and a croak; if he is out of politics you can't place him, as he is an undesirable citizen; if he goes to church he is a hypocrite; if he Btays awav from church h?. a a! damned; if he donates to foreign missions he does it for show; if he doesn't he is stingy and a tight-wad. When he first oomes into the world everybody wants to kips him -before he goes out , they all want to kjek him. If he dies young there was a great fiiUjre before him; if he lives to a ripe ojd age he is simply in the way and living to save funeral expenses. Life is a funny road, but we all like to travel it just the same. ? Selected. INSTRUCTIVE and INTERETING ATTRACTION. As the time draws near for the first i of the fall concerts to be given here in- 1 terest in the event grows more pronounced and there is now every indication that the opening audience will include practically the entire population of Fort Mill. Arrangements have been completed by the local committee and j only some unforseen circumstance can at this stage interfere with the success of the entertainment. The high standing of the Radcliffe Bureau insures the best that is to be had in the amusement Jine and the work i of several pf our best known citizens ; who have given their time and labor to I the enterprise makes certain of the pest, There is no reason why the course, so far as it goes, should not of- ' fer to the people of Fort Mill attrao tions equal in merit tp those produced in the largest cities of the South. As a matter of fact this is precisely whnt it will do as all the concerts engaged for this place are being presented in those cities and wherever they have gone have won high praise from the j public and preps. The identical com- < panics will come here, and the only ; difference in seeing them in Fort Mill ' and taking a trip to a large city in | search of an evening's rare entertainment is the difference in railroad fare. 1 .
