No. 112. StiaHritiiTinM It.ri'u One Year ..$1.25 Six Months . . 65 FORT MILL. S. C.. MARCH 23. 1911. One of the Many. York is one of the best counties in South Carolina, or, for that matter, in any State. It produces not only bis: crops of cotton and corn which put many dollars on the profit side of the ledger, but what is equally good, the old county not infrequently produces a distinguished man, as in the case of Dr. C. F. Williams, secretary of the State board of health, who has just sent in his resignation because of the inadequate salarv of $2.500. Dr. Fred Williams is a York county man. the son of Judge of Probate L. R. Williams. His home is in Columbia and he is one of the ablest physicians in South Carolina, so able indeed that his professional services are in such demand that he could no longer hold the position of secretary of the State board of health j without neglecting a profitable private practice. Unfortunately j for York county too many of her bright young men go elsewhere to establish themselves in the | professions or the business world, j If Kfimflthinor mini/-) )>? 1 wvuivviimi^ wviivi w*. iiu1ic iu keep all York's young men at I home who go out jn the world and i make a name for themselves how j much better off the county would \ be. M<uiet Against Harmon. The old adage that the early bird catches the worm does not always pan out. Not infrequently the early bird pets a good start j of his contemporaries in the chase 1 only to retire beaten when the worm seems within his grasp. This, we believe, will prove the case with Governor Harmon, who for some time has been an avowed candidate for the presidential nomination of the Democratic party in 1912. Governor Harmon has a record of solid urhievement behind him and has withal made the Buckeye State a model executive. But the drift of public sentiment which was running to him some time ago as the most available candidate for the party to put forward as its standard-bearer next year is now fast recedinp and unless all signs fail the coveted prize is not for him. Little as those who are unfriendly to Mr. Bryan may think of his declaration that Governor Harmon should not be the Democratic nominee, it rings down the curtain on the hopes of Ohio's governor. Regardless of what one it ay think of Mr. Bryan or his policies, facts must he faced as they are and not as we would have them. Mr. Bryan is a power in the councils of the Democratic party. His voice is heard above that of any one man or any hundred men in the country. When he says it would be harmful to the interests of the people and the party to nominate this or that man, his words are not lost upon the desert air. From Maine to California, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, from Florida to far-off Washington millions look upon him as the expounder of Democratic wisdom and they are ready to do what he thinks best. These men control the Democratic party. No man they are opposed to can get the Democratic nomination for the presidency. They are opposed to Governor Harmon, and he will not be the party nominee. The Chester lantern is a Rood newspaper, one of the best county papers in the State, but as a forecaster of political events it is, in the patois of the pave, strictly on the bum. In the campaign , last year The Lantern could see nothing but the hole in the doughnut for Mr. Finley, but when the boys got through voting our Chester contemporary waked up to the fact that Mr. Finley had pocketed doughnut, hole and all. Nothing daunted, however, The Lantern comes back with the statement that the man The, Times supports for Congress next year will he defeated. Which is to say, Mr. Finley will not be reelected. Meanwhile a few real. Finley should not bo returned to Congress would make interesting reading. By the by. The Lantern probably has not heard that Mr. Finley is to be the chairman of one of the most important committees of the Congress which convenes two weeks hence. The Times hopes that the small South Carolina towns which will tax themselves to secure the Duke interurban trolley linos will not afterwards have cause to complain that they have driven a bad bargain, but we fail to see in the coming of these electric railways an unmixed blessing, and we are not sorry to observe that none of the lines is planned to pass through Fort Mill. Trolley lines from small towns to nearby cities usually result in the development of the cities at the expense of the small towns. What some people who imagine they have a call to write communications for the newspapers really ought to do is to have an operation performed for hydrocephalus. Long Branch Philosophy. Hnrnwfll l'cople. There are two classes or kinds of good people we have to constantly come in contact with. One is the honest, straight, close, stingy fellow whenever endorsed or stood a bond for any one and has pledged himself before his Maker and bis wife never to do so. ue nas never neen out of corn, bought no meat since the Yankees passed through, always got money in his pocket or in his wife's trunk or hid in an old shoe in the closet, is down on banks and banking (you couldn't pay him for his stulF with a check for fear of having to discount it). Me never broke a plate or had a loss of any kind, never been "tight run," never hail much and has been content with little, never made a venture of any kind and if you ever tried to sell him anything or make a trade of any kind with him it would be a worse job than going out with knee pants and no stockings to light a gander when the old goose is on the nest. Me opposes taxation and all legislation and every move made by the government or any of its officials is fought to a finish. Always well pleased with himself and all his close kin. lie never doubts a word he sees in a newspaper. has an opinion of his own and would rather have a millstone swung about his neck and be cast in the midst of the sea than to acknowledge his fault or to give up a single idea, no matter how enormous, vol no one knows of any harm he lias done. Then there is the other happygo-lucky follow, who will pay his debts if he has the money, which he hardly ever has, except at borrowing season. He lives high when "credit opens," there is no scarcity about his place or of smiles on his face, always ready to lay down his work to help out his neighbor, goes fishing when the air feels like he could catch one. feeds several hound dogs, pays taxes on them and enjoys their "tongues" to his heart's content. He at times makes a groat big venture and occasionally comes out at the hiyr end of the horn, but oftener than any other way goes broke, hut by good talk and putting his signature to papers that can he "soaked" lie bridges over and the next day after he gets it all lixed he is the happiest fellow on Long Branch or elsewhere, no more disturbances or dissatisfaction until r.ovi ...... ..inn in ..>1 | HI! LIII1C. Sbips Fort Mill Cattle to Columbia. Notwithstanding the scarcity of milch cows in tliis section, a Columbia dealer was in the community a few days ago and succeeded in buying a carload of milkers which were shipped to Columbia. It is said that the dealer paid for each individual in the lot considerably more than could have been se.ured of dealers or others of this section. To Petition Governor for Pardon. Petitions are being circulated throughout the county in behalf of Larence Marley with the view of asking Governor Blease to, pardon him. Marley is serving, a seven-year sentence in the penitentiary for the murder of John Warlick in a Yorkville barber shop about three years ago. .. * * H. I?.
