ALL OF THE YORK CANDIDATES DECLARE FOR LOCAL OPTION (CONTINUED FROM P^GE 1.) during the sessions of the Legislature. The road law seemed to be of paramount importance. He I differed from Mr. Wallace in the statement that the public roads could be worked cheaper and more satisfactorily by contract. Under the township supervisor plan, 90 cents is being expended for work that would cost a dollar if done by contract. Further-1 more, where is there a contractor who would purchase the expensive machinery and live stock necessary to do the work unless he were given a contract to run i for several years. Certainly the; neonle of the countv would not I consider such a proposition as' buying; the necessary equipment! for ?a contractor. Complaint is i made that the commutation road tax should not be collected on July 1. Where would the money to work the roads this year have come from but for the commutation tax. This is the best season of the year to work the roads. The work recently done in the McConnellsville neighborhood is proof of the efficiency of the present law. He had investigated the conduct of the State government and was sure it is not extravagantly administered. The only prospect of relief is in the increased value of property. Something should be done to decrease the State debt. It would not be right to saddle all of the debt on coming generations. Returning to the road question, Mr. Sanders urged that it would he only fair to give the present road law a thorough test before considering a change. Too many road laws have already been tried, changes have been too frequent. The people should be careful in selecting their representatives. There are too many theorists asking to be sent to the Legislature. Theory boiled down will not produce common sense, which is more essential. Mr. Sanders read from the reports of the State officials to show that the expenses of the ^government could not be materially reduced without impairing its ellieiencv. The chairman called for Mr. J. S. Glasscock, but he was not | present on account of sickness in his family. Thos. i\ McDow was the third i candidate to speak. One of the changes which he heartily favors is biennial sessions of the Legislature. If the Legislature met every other year instead of annually from $75,000 to $100,000 would be saved the taxpayers. The present educational policy of the State was endorsed. The people are determined to have good roads, and he congratulated Dr. J. II. Saye for the moral courage he showed in introducing a good law. The present road law can be improved, but it would be bad policy to make radical changes. Good road laws are the growth of years of thought and study. Mr. McDow wants to go to Columbia unshackled by any preelection promises, but is willing to do the best he can by giving the people's business the same careful attention he gives his private affairs. Mr. S. H. Epps, Sr., had no set speech to make. He was pieaseu 10 De Willi Liie McUonnellsville people, among whom lie was no stranger. He is in favor of good roads. They enhance property values and build ! lip communities. The present road law is new and should be! given a fair trial. Later on it I can be amended if necessary. The school system is top-heavy with higher institutions of learning, but the colleges are here and must be taken care of. Winthrop college ifc one of the 1 grandest institutions in the; country. The common schools should be liberally provided for. Mr. Lpps, like the candidates who preceded him, was in favor of libera! appropriations for the Confederate veterans and stood i * for economical government. York county already has prohibition and it would not be Democratic for this county to force on other, counties that which they do not want. Ixical option is Demo-! cratic. and he therefore stands 1 for local option. Lawyer mem-! hers of the Legislature are not necessary to prepare the bills for the other members, as some seem to think; that is a part of the duty of the solicitors. lie had had three terms in the Legislature and was grateful to the people for past political favors. At the conclusion of Mr. Epps' speech the meeting adjourned tor dinner. The speakers in the afternoon were Dr. J. H. Saye and Messrs. J. E. Beamguard and Jas. E. Gettys. Dr. Saye said that naturally he would be expected to say something about the road law, aside from the fact that it appeared to be of universal interest, as he was the author of the former road law providing for the working of the roads by contract. He still thinks the contract system would have been best, but is willing to give the present law a fair test. Amendments might improve it. He is a local optionist and is in iavor ot good schools. During his service in the Legislature he had voted for economical government and would do so again. Dr. Saye, much to his regret, will be unable to attend all the campaign meetings, on account of cases in his medical practice which demand his presence at home. Mr. J. E. Beamguard spoke of I what he had tried to do for the people as a former representative. He favors taking care of the old soldiers, is pleased with the present road law and is a local optionist, besides favoring the strictest economy in administering the government. Mr. Jas. E. Gettys for the first time is asking the people to send him to the Legislature. He is a farmer and feels that he has some knowledge of the needs of the people in a legislative way. If elected, he will attend strictly to business. The York road law is all right. State-wide prohibition is not the thing. Good common schools are needed and if there is extravagance in Columbia it should be stopped. The Times next week will contain a synopsis of the speeches which will be delivered in Fort Mill Friday by Dr. Saye, Mr. Beamguard and Mr. Gettys. People and Things. An eniovablo ahornumi wac spent at the parsonage of the Methodist church Saturday afternoon by the young ladies of the Home Mission society. Refreshments were served. Ardrey Thrower has claims of being the most successful beet grower in Fort Mill township. Some days ago he brought t.o The Times office a beet weighing eight pounds. . Rev. M. VV. Gordon, former pastor of Fort Mill and Flint Hill Baptist churches, has given up his church work in Decatur, Ala., anil has accepted the pastorate of the Baptist church in Graniteville. Mr. E. E. Thorn well, of Darlington, announces the engagement of his sister. Miss Frances Harriet, to Mr. Edwin Sydney Reid, of Chatham, Va. The marriage will occur this fall in Fort Mill, at the home of Miss Thornwell's sister, Mrs. J. B. Elliott. Mr. B. J. Patterson, of Little Rock, Ark., is on a visit to his brothers, Messrs. Lee and Sam Aimstrong, for the second time in the last 20 years. Mr. Patterson's old home was in Fort Mill township before he left this section for the Southwest. IIFL . * * vv nere watermelon rinds are left promiscuously on the streets and in back lots, health conditions are bound to suffer. Every negro and white man, too, who does not satisfactorily dispose of his watermelon rinds ought to be haled before the mayor and fined for the offense. Little Miss Frances Blankenship, the 10-year-old daughter of Mr. C. P. Blankenship, has been critically ill of typhoid fever at the home of her father in the Gold Hill neighborhood for the last week, but is considered some better today. Irish potatoes are being grown more extensively in Fort Mill township this year than ever before. During the last week several two-horse wagon loads have been brought to the local market from nearby farms. The f 1 * [jutaiues are 01 unusual size anil the producers have found ready sale for them at pood prices. Mr. Edgar Jones left Fort Mill Thursday afternoon for a 15-day pleasure trip to New York city, Niagara Falls and other Northern points. Mr. Jones is an enthusiastic automobilist and he therefore decided to make the trip in a Pullman car?but not one of the kind that is liable to strand on the public highway from a blown-out spark plug or a punctured tire. Prof, and Mrs. James H. Thornwell, of Winnsboro, spent a few days in Fort Mill during the last week as guests of Prof. Thornwell's sister, Mrs. J. B. Elliott. Prof, and Mrs. Thornwell were returning home from Charlottesville, Va., where Prof. Thornwell has been doing post- | graduate work at the University of Virginia. Mr. B. M. Lee has gone Police Utticer Potts one better in growing sunflowers. Some days ago Mr. Potts displayed on Main street a specimen of the herb which was considered by many the largest ever grown in this section, but Mr. Lee a few days ago sent to The Times office two specimens of sunflower which were considerably larger than Mr. Potts'. Residents of south Booth street are under obligations to Police Officer Potts for relieving them of the annoyance to which they had been subjected nightly for ten days up to a few nights ago by boisterous negroes returning from a "'tracted meetin'" at unseasonable hours. The streets of the town are not a theatre for guffawing and a stiff fine on some of the future offenders would have a salutary effect. Earth Caved in Staunton. Newberry Herald and News. Hon. Harry H. Blease, of Staunton, Va., who is visiting his brother. Mayor Cole L. Blease, in Newberry, has received the Staunton newspapers telling of the disaster in Staunton caused by the ground in certain sections of the city caving in. Great property damage has already resulted, and a whole block is affected, including the handsome graded school building, fire headquarters and other large buildings. The cave-in was to such an extent it is stated in the newspapers that a whole two-story house was completely swallowed. No lives have been lost. The theory advanced by the Staunton papers is that there is a subterranean stream which has gradually worn a cavern in the earth underneath. Mission Society's Supper.
