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

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

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.
