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

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. |

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 .
