FORT MILL. S. C.. OCTOBER 13. 1910.
Wataon Remains, But ?
Hurrah! Let everybody join in
the shout of approval: Commissioner
E. J. Watson has caused
the announcement to be spread ,
broadcast that he has declined
the Federal appointment to the
Far East?the same sure-enough i
appointment that some incredu- i
lous individual who deals in fool's
talk said never existed except
in Mr. Watson's imagination.
The announcement is too good to !
be true?almost. Think of the
noble sacrifice Mr. Watson had i
to make to turn his back upon a j
ten thousand doliar job to con-!
tinue in an office that pays a
little old nineteen hundred per. !
The history of human-kind does
not furnish a precedent for such
patriotism. In these degenerate
days of scrambling, biffing and
biting for the little round wheels
that make the mare go Mr. Watson's
action almost takes one's
breath away, though he has done
mof f Via tUin /v tlio f linen ii'Vin
juot tuc tuai. i/iivov. ? IIU
know him best reckoned he
would do-^he has not deserted
grand old South Carolina. Truly
we are glad that he is still with
us. But, harrowing thought,
his tenancy of the most important
office in the State is to last
only a few weeks longer he is to
retire two months hence. That's
the fly in the ointment, the
death's head at the banquet. Mr.
Watson will voluntarily jump the
job about the first of the new
year. How will the State survive
the loss of his services? Ask the
hills that look eternal and for
answer count the stars. The
situation is desperate. No more
shall we feel the security that
all's well when Commissioner
Watson ceases to assure a benighted
world that "my people"
are up and stirring about.
Who will there be left to travel
from the places where old Atlantic
roars to the booming breakers '
I I
on the wild Pacific shores to
spread the glad tidings of great 1
joy? Nary a man ?unless Mr. i<
Cole L. Blease should happen 1
along and tell this same Mr.
Watson that things are not always
what they seem ?that Mr. ;
Watson will not have to vamose.
The Need of ? Marriage Law.
Of all South Carolina towns, !
Fort Mill is perhaps the one
town best able to observe the
need of a marriage law for this
State. Fort Mill is six miles
from the North Carolina State
line and is 17 miles from the chief
city of that State. In North
Carolina a condition precedent to
marriage is the securing of a
license, at an outlay of $2. Small
as the sum is, many couples come
to Fort Mill to evade the payment
of it. Other couples, unable
to meet the requirements of
the North Carolina law as to age,
etc., find Fort Mill a convenient
Gretna Green for their marriage.
maiij \ji Liicnc uuujmcs art: iiui
competent to enter the marital
relation, for one reason or another.
Not a few of them are
mere boys and girls, not out of
their teens, whose runaway
matches to Fort Mill are planned
to escape the jurisdiction of
parental objection.
One does not have to go far
afield to learn that too often these
marriages, immaturely considered
and so easily entered, are
held in light regard by the parties.
The inevitable consequence
is separation. Then the husband,
in many cases, leaves the community
and the next thing heard
of him is that he has another
wife. The deserted wife is left
4 . .
.0 shuffle for herself. She has
ittle hope for the future, con-;
>cious of the millstone about her i
?eck. . She drifts along, often
?oing from bad to worse, and in
;he end has the Commonwealth
)f South Carolina to thank in no
small degree for the unfortunate
ines of her life.
But it is not primarily in the
interest of North Carolinians that
rhe Times urges the need of a I
marriacre law for South Carolina. I
South Carolina should have such
a law for her own protection,
rhere are hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of illy mated men and
women, or boys and girls, living
in South Carolina today who,
would have been infinitely better
off had there been a statute in
this State which would have prevented
their marriage. Relief
from such demoralizing conditions
in the future can be afforded
by the Legislature.
The Out-of-Season Hunter.
Abbeville Press and Banner.
The gunner with his gun will
soon be in evidence. Now, before
the open season for birds
arrives, let us deal squarely with ,
the laws of South Carolina, with |
the birds and with one another.
This is what the out-of-season '
hunter does not do. In hunting
before the season opens he puts
at defiance the State laws; in
hunting before the season opens
he kills birds before they are
grown; and in hunting before the
season opens he is not dealing I
fairly with the hunter who re- '
frains from breaking the law.
No man, be he ever so popular,
be he ever so anxious, be he ever
so secretive, has any right whatsoever
to break the law and begin
hunting before the closed
season is over.
It is up to the good citizens of
any community to see to it that
the law is obeyed. Sentiment
makes law. If the hunter knows
that the sentiment in any com- j
munity is severely down on this
class of lawlessness the hunter
will not run any risk; he will
bide his time with the rest. What
right has he to enter the field i
before you do? For a hunter to
thus go out and hunt before the
closed season is over, knowing j
that he is openly and Hagrant- ;
ly breaking the law is little short
of arrogance, even insult, to such j
as do not thus break the law.
Tuesday afternoon Mr. J. L.
Kimbrell, one of Fort Mill township's
prosperous farmers, joined
the ranks of the automobilists
when he purchased in Charlotte
a pretty little Brush machine of
the latest model.
