Of considerable interest to th thousands of mill workers c South Carolina is the bill mn before the Legislature "to r< quire all employers of labor, wh have the right to require a notic of purpose to quit their emplo from operatives employed b them, to give notice to the employes of shutting down. Already the measure has bee reported favorably by the hous committee on commerce an manufactures. The bill woul require mills to give notice ( shutting down, and the time th shut-down is to continue, t posting a notice at least tu weeks before, or the same lengl of time as is required of en ployes before leaving emplo; ment I |More Honors for Bishop O'Connell. I The Fort Mill friends of Bishop X)ennis J. O'Connell will read fwith interest the following article which appeared in the Charleston News and Courier of /Sunday: The news sent-* out from Rome to the effect that the Pope has , appointed Auxiliary Bishop Dennis J. O'Connell, of San Francises, to be Bishop of Richmond, will be received with deep interest and pleasure in Charleston, where Bishop O'Connell has many friends. He has, in fact, been described in press dispatches as a native of Charleston; but, while this is nearly the fact, ' it is not quite true, Bishop O'Connell having been born on the ocean while his mother was on her way here, according to the Rev. P. L. Duffy, of St. Joseph's Church of Charleston. He is, however, to all intents and purposes a South Carolinian, his old family home being at Fort Mill, in this State. Bishop O'Connell is the nephew of three | Catholic priests, all of whom are I well known here?the Rev. J. J. j O'Connell, who wrote "Leaves From Catholicity in the Carolinas," another brother, who was a chaplain in the Confederate army, and another who is rector of a large church in ; Brooklyn. Bishop O'Connell's appointment to the Bishopric at Richmond is a great honor. Richmond is in the province of Baltimore, nf whirh Cardinal Gibbons is the head, and the diocese is one of the most important in this country. Dennis J. O'Connell was elei vated to a titular Bishopric in , May, 1908, by Cardinal Gibbons, < at the Cathedral. His sympa| thies are Southern and he is easy of approach and democratic in i manner. Through long experience at the American College, in Rome, and the Catholic University, at Washington, he has acquired a great amount of administrational 1 ability. Mgr. O'Connell was one of the officials of the Fourth Plenary Council of Baltimore, and was selected by the hierarchy of the United States to carry the decrees of this council to Rome. He performed several important commissions for the Cardinal, and was rewarded by an appointment as rector of the imofipnn College, at Rome. In this office he was made the official agent and representative of the American hierarchy at the ' "Vatican Mgr O'Connell left the College, in 1895, and his namesake, Mgr William J. O'Connell, of Boston, succeeded him. He then left Rome for a tour of the East, remaining some time in Egypt. As vicar of Santa Maria, in Trastevere, Cardinal Gibbons's titular church, he became an important figure in the Curia. He was appointed January 12, 1902, to succeed Bishop Thomas J. Conaty as rector of the University at Washington. Hard Jolt for Blease. The friction between the South Carolina Legislature and Gov. Cole L. Blease Tuesday night reached its climax in the decision ' of the House to expunge from its journal all but the first two i paragraphs of the Governor's ; recent sensational message on i the so-called libel bill. The veto, which followed a whole day devoted to argument, was 86 to 26 1 in favor of expurgation from the * rpporH that Dortion of the Gover or's message which contained a bitter attack upon the press of } South Carolina. The Governor's ' message teemed with hard words, " "lie," "dirty," "cowardly," I "scurrilous," being among the ' choice morsels. j ? $ Progress of the Interurban. ?| The Piedmont & Northern > Railway Company, the parent concern that will operate the interurban lines throughout the j: Carolinas, has made a contract with the company from which it j is ordering its passenger cars, to I deliver one of these every week . until the full equipment has * arrived and put in readiness tor operation. The company antici; pates that the line from Char* lotte to Gastonia will be ready ~ to transport passengers and freight in the course of a very short while. At first the seri vice will of course be limited, but e when the full equipment of cars i and locomotives is placed at the , command of the company, it will y be ready to put accommodations d of an exceedingly attractive nae ture in the reach of the patronr age expected.?Charlotte Obser[i ver. | In a Prohibition Town. j Those folks who think that the _ saddling of prohibition on a community will prevent the sale or drinking of whiskey in that community are simple indeed. Ir speaking recently of the rush of e thirsty souls of Spartanburg tc >f get their booze on the arrival ol x the express from Augusta, The Herald had this to say: o "Between 4:30 and 5:30 o'clocle Saturday afternoon large crowds y collected at the express office anc v the men awaited their turn foi ir the jug or box shipment of liquoi " which they anticipated. Thede n livery man inside the railings die ;e a thumping business, and he hae id his hands full to wait on one cus id tomer and get to the next one )f for the crowd encircled the en ie closure and each and every om >v wanted his jug or package first , 0 Fifty-five jugs came up on th :h C. & W. C. and were delivers n- Saturday afternoon. The aver y- age amount of booze brought ii | was about two gallons to the jug Mrs. W. A. Hafner Dead. Mrs. Susie Shannon Hafner, wife of Rev. W. A. Hafner of the Fort Mill Presbyterian church, died Wednesday night at 10 o'clock at the manse on Confederate street, after an illness of several weeks. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. Alexander Martin, of Rock Hill, assisted by Revs. J. B. Mack, S. P. Hair and T. J. White, of Fort Mill, was held from the home at 3:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The remains were taken to Sharon, the girl-hood home of Mrs. Hafner, -and the interment was made Friday morning. A large party of Fort Mill friends accompanied the body to its last resting place. For several days previous to her death, many friends had anxiously hoped for some word that would indicate an improvement in Mrs. Hafner's condition, but the fiat of Him who rules our incomings and outgoings had been issued and after a painful struggle, despite the prayers and entreaties of all who knew and loved her, the sufferer's spirit took its flight to that home the Christian believes is the fulfilment of the life everlasting. Let us, if possible, gather up the elements of the life of the departed one and weave of them a pictute for the walls of memory. The book of life was opened and a new name was written therein by the hand of love. Soon would the unfolding beauties of spring time have charmed her coming. Today the eternal springtime with everlasting glories belongs to the departed one. Her life was a rare jewel, her spirit as gold refined in the fire, ready for heaven. These flowers are emblems of our love, but God hath bidden her welcome to that mansion which He himself has prepared, where are the songs of the redeemed. She ran the journey of her life in thirty-eight years. It is a path marked with deeds of kindness and cheer. Flowers not thorns, sunshine not shadow, did she scatter everywhere. With these she was lavish. Truth was the inspiration of her life and by kindness she exemplified its great worth. Was not her life full of Godlikeness? The heartfelt sympathy of the entire community goes out to the husband and four small children who have been so deeply aggrieved at this sad dispensation of Providence. Saved His Wife's Life. "My wife would have been in her grave today," writes 0. H. Brown, of Muscadine, Ala., "if it had not been for Dr. King's New Discovery. She was down in her bed, not able to get up without help. She had a severe bronchial trouble and a dreadful cough. I got her a bottle of Dr. King s wew iscovery and she soon began to mend, and was well in a short time." Infallible for coughs and colds, its the most reliable remedy on earth for desperate lung trouble, hemorrhages, lagrlppe, asthma, hay fever, croup and whooping cough. 50c and $1.00.

It's a mystery to us, says the j Gaffney Ledger, how Cherokee J continues to prosper and grow in the face of the fact that every year we send thousands of dollars to Missouri for mules, thousands of dollars to the West for corn, meat and flour, thousands of dollars to the East for insurance, hats, shoes, clothing, dress goods, furniture, coffins, etc. The only thing we have to sell is cotton and cotton products and we even buy a lot of cotton j from other sections. We ought to raise all our food products, can enough fruit and vegetables for our own use, make our own clothing, shoes, hats, wagons, buggies and farm implements. We have iron enough in this country to supply Pittsburg or Birmingham and yet we sell not a dollars worth of it. We raise a few cattle, but not enough, send the hides to Western tannery and buy them back in the shape of shoes, paying the freight both ways and giving the tanner, the shoe manufacturer, the wholesaler, the jobber and the local dealer a profit. We send ' our unfinished cloth to Yankee| land, then buy it back in the finished article, paying the ; freight both ways, giving the ! finisher, the wholesaler, the jobber and the local dealer all a profit on the same raw material 1 we raised right here at home.

It's a miracle how the country stands up to the drain and still prospers in spite of it. Ends Winter's Troubles. To many, winter is a season of trouble.
