* ' i 5* . k' "* n HO LITTLE OR BIG BOYS DONE UP CELEBRATING FOURTH OF JULY In the North and West, where they have not learned better, many little boys and some big ones, too, had their eyes blown i_ 1.1 i i _ a _ rv i out, tneir nanus torn on ana their bodies and faces otherwise terribly lacerated Monday while celebrating the glorious Fourth with the festive cannon cracker and other engines of destruction, but there was nothing doing in the fireworks line in Fort Mill or elsewhere in York county, so the doctors did not have to work overtime mending bruises, burns and various other ills which are apt to result when gunpowder comes in contact with human flesh. The only Fort Mill business institution which observed the fourth by suspending operations for the entire day was the telephone exchange. Fortunately, ? the telegraph operator of the Western Union was on the job, otherwise there would have been, no communication with the outside world for the greater part of the day. Sunday hours were observed at the postoffice. In the afternoon a ball game was played between Rock Hill and Fort Mill colored teams, while the grass continued to grow in many cotton fields of the county in which they could have found remunerative employment. But the Fourth has a peculiar fascination for the average town negro. The fact that he does not know whether the observance of the day is intended to celebrate the victory of Xerxes over Leonidas or to do honor to the memory of the great Democrat Thomas JefTerson makes no ditFerence. The day is a national holiday in the North and that inspires the negro. State Laws for Automobilists. There are many people who own automobiles who do not know the State laws regulating them while on the country roads. It, seems to be the impression of most people that they can operate their cars as fast as they want to outside of the city limits, but this is a mistake. Following are a few interesting bits of law from the acts of the General Assembly: "No person shall operate a motor vehicle on a public highway at a rate of speed greater than is reasonable and proper at the time and place, having due regard to the traffic and use. of the highways and to conditions or so as to endanger the life, limb or property of any person, or in any event at a greater rate than 15 miles an hour." "Upon approaching a'crossing, bridge, steep descent or a curve a person shall have their machine under control and operate it at a rate of speed not greater than six miles an hour, and in no wise greater than is reasonable and proper having due regard to conditions." "The driver of a motor vehicle shall give notice by blowing a horn, bell or otherwise so as not to frighten the animals and to use precautions to insure the safety of persons and property. It is also necessary to bring the car to a stop if it is seen that the horses are frightened. "It is necessary to stop the car at a signal from one who is in the highway and who is driving a wild animal. The raising of a hand may be considered a signal to stop. It is also necessary to remain stationary until such an animal could be removed. It is necessary for an automobilist to give the right of way to the driver of a horse or a mule and he shall go to the right of the rr>nfl "Violators of these acts shall be lined from $10 to $100 or imprisoned not more than 30 days." t?ock Hill District Conference.

Even less than that might be enough, but the proportion of one-sixteenth is as little as the courts have ever had an opportunity to decide. That issue has just been decided by Justice Dan Thew Wright, of the District of Columbia supreme court, who handed down an opinion to the effect that Isabel I. Wall, the 7-year-old daughter of Stephen Wall, proprietor of a negro pool room, is a negro and will not be allowed to enter the white schools of the District of Columbia. Card of Thanks.
