It is the belief of The Times that a large majority of the people of the Piedmont section of j South Carolina will subscribe to th?. act Monday of Governor ragj&fe&lease in granting a pardon to E gSGeorge Hasty of Gaffney. Hasty P W1*** ?iyen a h^e sentence for the & ml mur^er two men, members of a cheap show which visited Gaff rney in 1905. Hasty was one of the proprietors' of the Gaffney hotel at which the show people stopped while in that ciiy. A woman member of the troupe accused Hasty of attempting to enter her room at night. Hasty' ? denied the accusation and in a |0v , row over the matter shot and * killed two showmen, Bennett and Richardson. The woman in the *- case was an eye witness to the killing and it was largely upon her testimony that Hasty was convicted. A new trial was asked but was refused. The woman went away from Gaffney ' soon after and was not heard of again for several months, when * * it was reported from Savannah, Ga., that she was wanted there for stealing. This report, substantiated by affidavits, caused Hasty's friends to look into the .. . character of the woman and it was found that she was not only a rogue, but a dope fiend and a person whose character was such that her word before a jury was to be doubted. These facts were presented to the governor and he told Hasty to go home. This newspaper believes that the governor did the right thing in pardoning Hasty, and we hope that Hasty's five years in the State prison will cause him to live respectably the rest of his days. The way of the transgressor is hard. W. T. Jones, of Union county realizes the truthfulness of the proverb. Jones murdered his wife by administering or causing to be administered to her strychnine. He was a man of means, his wealth running well UP into the thousands. Able] counsel defended him at trial, but the jury said he was guilty. T.iof mKv a rprnmmpndation to VUOV f?Uj v* * www..... the mercy of the court was included in the verdict is not elear, but it was there and this saved Jones' neck. The attorneys for the condemned man asked for a ?- new trial and the circuit judge denied this. Then an appeal was taken to the supreme court. This was two years ago last February. Jones' money was placed at the disposal of his attorneys and the earth was scraped for evidence upon which it was hoped to have the case reopened. But this evidence was not forthcoming and the supreme court after an exhaustive review of the case affirmed the finding of the lower court. But Jones did not abandon his efforts for freedom. Governor Blease was next asked to pardon the wifej j murderer. But the governor was f fully acquainted with the case and promptly refused Jones a pardon. This act of the gover""" *wiaane hnrrincr an an UV1 v??i*v, ?, peal to the United States supreme court, in which case it is unlikely that the decision of the State court will be reversed. Jones must take his medicine. That an accident has not happened on the streets of Fort Mill aa a result of the luckless driving of automobiles through the town cannot be taken as an indication that the speed limit is strictly observed. Booth street residents last Sunday afternoon saw a visiting automobile tear along j the street at a rate estimated by \ the most conservative to havej been not less than 45 miles an hour. We doubt whether the occupants of the car knew that the town had an ordinance limiting the speed of autos on the * ' < i jjj .i streets, ana, 11 mey uiu, u:ev | evidently cared little about the ordinance. Anyway, we think ! the town of Fort Mill could well follow the example of a neighboring North Carolina town by erect-1 ingsign boards at the incorporate I L lines of the main roads informing the autoists of the speed limit jjB?S ordinance, and we believe this would go far toward eliminating i H t!Js dangerous practice of the visitors. Speeding through the town at such a break-neck pace will sooner or later result in the injury or death of some of our * citizens. The Times is requested to call to the attention spf the authorities the manner in which crowds glte# /.eongrtgate Saturday nights at the icecream stand at^the head Main street. It is pointed out that a lady with two small children in passing the stand last Saturday night was forced to g( out into the street and in doing so narrowly escaped injury by a passing team. Another citizen objects to the emptying of the cream churns and fish boxes into the street, as was done Saturday night, and calls upon the authorities to put a stop to it. Mr. Potts Loses Barn. A telephone message from the Pleasant Valley section about 9 o'clock Sunday morning brought the information that the large narn of Mr. D. 0. Potts was totally destroyed by fire. In the building at the time was about 50 bushels of corn and a lot of fodder, hay, etc., which with the j barn was totally destroyed. The i origin of the fire is not known. Occurring as it did in broad daylight, it is not believed to have | been the work of an incendiary. Capt. Fulp Guilty of Disobedience. The State, Tuesday. Pleading guilty to the general charges, disobedience in violation of the 21st article of war. but not to wilful disobedience of the or- j ders of the adjutant general of South Carolina and asking why he had been selected to be tried ' *-? ! wnen otner omcers 01 me i>auon al Guard were guilty of the same charges, James D. Fulo of YVinnsboro, captain of Company M, Third infantry, appeared last night before a courtmartial, ordered by YV. YV. Moore, the adjutant general. The court, after hearing all testimony presented by both sides, found Capt. Fulp guilty of the charges preferred by the adjutant general, and recommended that he be severely reprimanded by the commanding officer of the Third regiment. * * * "I plead guilty to the charge," said Capt. Fulp, "but not to wilful disobedience." * * * "Laxity has prevailed in the office of the adjutant general previous to 1911, and the muster reports were not required to be filed on time. I received no personal fmm tKo arliiiKnt crtiripriil 1VI>VV1 ii Vtll VilV MV? J U V U I ' V V?<? I failed to file the report, hut it was not wilful disobedience, and I meant no disrespect to the adjutant general. If the adjutant, general had sent me a personal letter I would have sent in the reports immediately." Enquirer Reader Wants Information.! Editor Fort Mill Times: In speaking of the governor's recommendation that the knitting mill at the State penitentiary be abolished the Yorkville Enquirer says, in part: "We do not think that it is at all creditable to the State of South Carolina to allow convicts to be used in the production of hosiery in competition with free labor. We think it an insult to honest, free labor and a positive ! disgrace to the State." As a reader of the Yorkville Enquirer I would be pleased to know what the Yorkville papei thinks of the State of South Carolina raising cotton "in competition with free labor." 1 U1 IilV.1 . May 22, 1911. Marriage License Blanks No Good. A Greenville despatch to the Charlotte Observer says it is highly probable that the supply of marriage license blanks received by the probate judge of | that city will have to be consigned to the wastebasket and i new ones imported between now and the date on which the new law goes into effect- July 1. It is agreed that the new blanks are not made up accordi cording to the statute "made and provided" by the last Legislature. The blanks are issued by the State authorities and were printed in Charleston. It was stated that the law recently enacted does not specify that the "girl shall appear before the county officer in making application for license to marr\, but only the I groom-to-be shall appear." The | new blanks make provision for ! the girl's appearance, and, therefore, it is supposed that they are incorrect. The documents received by the judge of probate are formidable looking articles, over a foot long nrwl with blanks enough to be filled out and oaths to subscribe to to frighten a man in ordinary circumstances, much less a "near-groom." Must Increase Cotton Production. President Finley of the Southern Railway company has pointed out that, if the South is to preserve the great economic advantage which it enjoys in having a I substantial monopoly in the production of the cotton supply of the world, Southern cotton-growers must increase their production so as to keep pace with the constantly growing demand. He is strongly of the opinion that this can be done most profitably by increasing the average production to the acre. Figures just made public by the United States Agricultural Department. giving the average yield to the acre for the crop of 1910, indicate that the cottongrowers of the Sohtheastern States are making substantial progress in the direction of ob! taining increased yields. These 1 figures show a larger average i yield to the acre than in 190P lor I each Southeastern State except I Georgia and Florida, the yield in Florida having been the same as in 1909 and that in Georgia having shown a falling off of nine pounds an acre. I School Improvement. "A school without needs is a lead school," says Pres. I). B. Johnson. However successful the school term that is drawing to a close may have been, we should plan to make the next one, better. Some of the needs now existing should be supplied before another session opens. The following are a few of the needs of! the schools of York county: 1. A better, more attractive building?one that is properly lighted, seated, heated and ventilated: one that is clean, having its walls tinted on the inside and painted on the out. 2. Better surroundings for the school houses-improved sanitary conditions, grounds clean and attractive, improved arrangements for drinking water, outbuildings made better, and play j_ _cr j grounds laiu oil auu uticu up, 3. Good blackboards, a set of maps, and a globe placed in each school. Every school should have a set of liquid arid dry measures, a yard stick, ani other material for teaching arithmetic. A teacher who is willing to do without a blackboard or a set of maps cannot do efficient work in the school room. 4. A library to which new books are added each year. In connection with the library there should be several sets of supplementary readers. The children in the rural schools read only one or two first readers and are then given a second and so on up the grades. This makes, in general, poor readers of the pupils. Practice makes perfect. One of the best teachers in South Carolina said not long since that her third year pupils had read eight readers in nine months. Those children read well and know what they have read. Consider where your school stands in regard to this list of needs and think what can be done to supply them. Much has been accomplished in other States and in many counties in this State through school improvement associations. Wake county, North Carolina raised over six thousand dollars through such an association. We had several locai associations las1: year. Let us now have a strong county school improvement association that win promote the organization and growth of local associations. For this purpose a meeting is to be held in the Yorkvillegraded school building at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. .June 1. All teachers, trustees, patrons and others interested in the upbuilding of the schools of York county are invited to je present at this meeting., Each one is expected to bring a picnic basket and dinner will be served on the grounds. An interesting progam for the meeting is being arranged. J. W. Quinn, County Supt. of Education. Leila A. Russell, Co. Supervisor Rural Schools. Mecklenburg Barn Burned. Seven cows and a horse were consumed in a fire which destroyed a barn belonging to Mr. P. M. Brown of this city on hisi place five miles southwest of the; city Saturday night, says the1 Charlotte Observer. The reflection from the blaze was seen here that night, but it could not be definitely located. A Mr. King occupies the place as tenant. It is believed by those living on the place that the barn was fired by a tramp. A few hours previously a knight of the road had applied for permission to spend the night in the barn, but consent was refused. The occurrence of the fire shortly afterwards is regarded either as an unusual coincidence or as a result closely related to the first circumstance. The burning of the helpless animals is regrettable. The cows were part of a dairy operated there. Seventeen Year Locusts Appear. While it is not given out that the iv-year locusts nave pui m appearance in this section of the country, reports say that the pest has been seen in large swarms in the West, particularly in Oklahoma. The appearance of the locust, while disquieting, should merely be taken as warning that eternal vigilance spells safety in agriculture as in all other pursuits of life. The greatest locust plagues, according to history, were in Africa, Arabia and southern Asia. The United States, however, has l ad its own experience with the pest. Among the more recent plagues in this country were those in 18.*.G and in 1874, ths iatter enduring for three years and causing widespread ruin throughout the region between the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains. The Washington Post says that while the locust has been wiped out pretty generally, it is still likely to become a local nuisance at any time. This is evidenced by the appearance of the pest ?n Oklahoma. The farmers should not wait for the appearance of the locust, says The Post. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The department of agriculture, since the last plague, has made an exhaustive study of the subject, and all the information in the possession of the government is at the disposal of the farmers. By aggressive measures in each locality where there is any sign of the locusts, the danger of a plague can be avoided. GOOD, HETTER, BEST That's the way we classify our Groceries.

The natural inference is that we immediately get a flood of light, when we turn the electric , switch. While this is true' enough in a sense, many things really happen before we get the light. And the light is not instantaneous at all, even if it does look so. The first thing accomplished in turning the switch is to close the , circuit so that the electric current can flow readily through the i wires. The electrical energy : rushes along the surface of the ; insulated copper wires at the terriffic speed of 180,000 miles a second. If these wires were , not properly insulated the elec- j tricity would tend to leak off the wire to some other good con-1 ductor at the first opportunity, j as it is ever seeking the shortest i path through the circuit. When this energy, rushing at a terriffic pace reaches the electric lamp it passes readily enough through the small iron and platinum wires into the bulb where it meets with , its first resistence. In its paths 1 stand tiny loops of a fine metallic wire which is not a good conrlnrtnr nf plectricitv. With all the pressure behind it the electrical enerpv tries to surmount this obstacle in its path. It pushes and forces its way through the obstruction and this requires a tremendous amount of work, just the same as it would require a tremendous amount of work for a man to climb the face of a cliff. This work consumes the electrical energy, just as it would consume mechanical energy, or human energy, and the energy thus j consumed is not really consumed 1 or destroyed?for nature never; totally destroys anything, but changes it into heat. As the current forces its way through the fine wire the elec- j trical energy is rapidly changed into heat and this heat quickly brings the wire to a white glow, i when, by a strange coincidence, ' it is a fairly good conductor. While the light seems instantaneous it is only because it is too quick for the eye. In reality the wire first gets warm, then hot, j 4 *?ma/1 on/1 finollv i men a uuu cucii) u-u am. this red fades, as it gets hotter to a white hot glow which is maintained as long as the current i is turned on. The heat resultant | from this process is rapidly dissipated into the air. Gets On the Editor's Nerve. A veteran newspaper man once j said that he never read a copy of j his paper after it had been print-! ed. and we are inclined to believe j that it is a pretty good rule to1 follow. Nothing is more dis-: tressing to a newspaper man than to pick up a copy of his paper after the entire edition has been printed, and find it full of errors. It is a record passing into history, and the fact that it cannot be recalled or corrected is both humiliating and distressing to the 1 man who takes a pride in his1 handiwork. The ambitious pub-! lisher wants to issue his paper on time and there are days in the j newspaper office when the hours are too short to crowd in all the duties of the editor, hence some1 i.i 1 thing must he negiecteu, uriu u it should happen to be the proofs the issue is likely to contain embarrassing errors which never escape the attention of the hypercritical reader. If the reading [public had a better knowledge of the manifold duties of the average newspaper worker they ! would be less inclined to criticise him for his apparent shortI comings. ? Exchange. York's Gain in Population. The State. The gain in York county is 6,034, which, though in excess I of the ratio in the State, is not equal in percentage to that of several of the northern counties in which white population predominates. Seven of the nine townships, however, disclose an increase and that speaks well I for the general distribution of growth. York is fully holding its own. It is interesting that the township containing Yorkville, the county seat, is one of in wl,ioli nrmiilutinn has IJIC 1\>U Hi n nun decreased, although Yorkville gained 314. Catawba township 'shows an increase of 2,418, of which 1,731 must he credited to the city of Rock Hill. Ebenezer j township now has a population of 4,593, having gained 1,450, although its only town, Ebenezer. 1 shrank from 331 to 1!H). Ed Caton. the undesirable citizen of Sharon township, who was hauled back to the chaingang at the request of his neighbors, has found the labor on the county roads much more strenuous than lighting chickens on Sunday, and a few days ago collapsed while at work, says"the Charlotte Observer. Instead of breaking rock, as he did before his collapse, 1 Caton has been put in charge of a wagon. WANTED?To supply your refrigerator or ice box daily with Ice, at Ac per I>ou!)d.
