CT as tall matter of tbo second class. FORT KILL. 8. C.. FEBRUARY '-5.1012. 1WWWBBBS.I I.I' The groundhog has had the kQgh coming his way for the ftftt week. Eggs, one day old, are adverted on the Columbia market at 0 cents per dozen. Now, will oroe mathematician figure the lact cost of a meal in South Jwolina's 4 'square meal" town. Just what has been accomdished in the way of acreage eduction under the several plans tow being worked out in the coton belt probably will first come 0 light when the agricultural lepartment issues its May rej>ort m the acreage. And it may be idded that those who are fortulate enough to have some spot lotton on hand at that time may ealize a much higher price than heir neighbors who were forced o sell sooner. ? ' This office has received from he Underwood campaign comoittee a proposition that the ommittee furnish this paper ach week with a supplement, at o much per thousand copies, to >e mailed out to our subscribers a a means of boosting the presilential candidacy of Mr. Underwood. The Times rejects the proposition. We have a doubt a to whether a Southern man an be elected the successor of ir. Taft and do not care to waste time on probably a losing proposition. Besides this The *imes has no desire to toot the political horn of any candidate t a cost to the paper of so much >er toot. The Times had something o say recently about the race or the governorship this summer being between the two men, {lease and Jones, and this paper Irishes to add to what it has lready said the hope that no ther candidate will be in the unning. In view of the present >rohibition sentiment in Orange >urg and other^ouffties of the State we^dS'not think the prolihitipir folks will be foolish mdtfgh to put up a candidate for jovernor, for such a man could - ? i i.1 lope tor notmng Deuer man an >ve*whelming defeat. The anti31ease people could not, we beieve, find a man in the State irho would make a better run ih&n Jones, and the Blease supjortera, we are sure, want Blease Ukd no one else. It ought to be k show down between Blease and fones. The "split-log" drag is coming n for a lot of praise from the weekly papers of the State, but none too much has been said in favor of this latter day road worker. The drag has been jiven a practical test in Fort Mill and the township during the ast few weeks and its worth has lot been overestimated by any;hing that has been said of it. The town has had two of these r.achines in use lately and the, sections of the town's streets which have been thus worked ire at present probably in better shaps than they ever were before. The drag is inexpensive to make, easy to operate, and ioes its work much better and cheaper than the work could be done by hand. It strikes us that rvMAV> fnmnov nrnnlH finH it nrnfif cavil laiuivi nvuiu 1?IU .w able to build one of these drags and use it on his farm roads that are not worked by the township road workers. The suggestion of a merchant of the town that the public well In Main street be filled in before the paving is put down meets with the approval of The Times. The water from this well, it will be remembered, was condemned as impure and unfit for use a year or two ago and there is no reason to believe that it is much better at present. But aside from this, the main street of a town the size of Fort Mill is no place for a well. It is a hindrance to traffic and with a street no wider than the main business street of Fort Mill, there is absolutely no room there for the well. Of course, the filling in of the Main street well would necessitate the sinking of a new well, but this could be done without great cost to i:he town, and we feel sure that a well could beaunk that would furnish the Hbk; section with much betH mr It is to be hoped ^^^By council will give this I^^Kconsideration before the is commenced. Ifc??????? Will it Come to This? A visitor to Fort Mill a few days ago was heard to remark that the Rock Hill plan of reducing cotton acreage offered the greatest opportunity for the man of large acres to work a bunco game of anything that has ever been broached in the South.. The argument was that the landlord would induce his croppers to reduce the number of acres planted to cotton and by adding on a little guano would reap as his share of the crop the same amount of cotton that he did last year from the larger number of acres. And by such tactics the landowner would have several more farms to rent and would receive a much larger rental than he formerly did. It is to be hoped, however, that no one will embrace this opportunity of dodging the plan to reduce the amount of cotton raised. Last Week of General Assembly ? If the South Carolina General Assembly were'required to hold their sessions for 40 days, and no longer, the 1912 session would come to an end Saturday of this week, February 17. says the Columbia Record. And it is very probable it will do so, anyway. While the constitution allows the oaoeinn V'kO VtolH lfinorpr thflll 40 | OVOOiVU I V VV Iivivt I days, the statutes do not provide compensation for legislators longer than that time?figuring at the rate of $5 per day?and there is a natural inclination for the members of the assembly to wind up thei?- affairs on schedule time. Legislators are paid $200 per session, whether that session be 40 days, 100 days, or only 10 days. The 40 days are up this week, and the general trend of legislation for the past few days indicates that matters are being shaped up for sine die adjournment about Saturday? or Sunday. Sally League Opens April 18. Opening and closing dates for the double season in the South Atlantic Leagues' 1912 pennant race were adopted by the league directors at a meeting Monday at Albany, Ga. The first season will open April 18 with Savannah at Jacksonville, Columbus at Macon and Columbia at Albany. The'first half of the season will close June 27 and the season will end Labor Day with double-headers at Savannah, Columbia and Columbus. The official schedule will be announced Sunday. Player and salary limits tentatively agreed on at Macon in October were adopted. Governor Gives Kecord ot f ardons. Governor Blease's statement as to pardons, paroles and commutations granted by him since he became governor has just been issued from the press and distributed among the members of the Legislature. During his administration, according to a news item, Governor Blease has pardoned, paroled and granted commutation of sentence to 317 people and the statem^ht gives an account of each one of those and tells the facts leading up to each, gives the names of those who petitioned for the clemency and the facts connected with the sentence of each. Under each name is the statement by the governor giving his reasons for the pardon, parole or commutation. Penitentiary Popnlation Decreasing. The population of the State penitentiary has decreased during the past year considerably more than 100, according to the re port of the board of directors and superintendent of the penitentiary, laid on the desks of the members of the general assembly this morning in printed form. At the close of the year 1910, there were 935 imprisoned in the penitentiary, including the convicts at Clemson college. State farms, those leased to county chaingangs, and at the Lexington reformatory. At the close of the year 1011, there were 806. The following statistics in this connection show how the loss occurred: "Received under sentence, 177; recaptured, 6; by return from Chesterfield county. 1; by return himself, 1; in prison during the year, 1,130, from ?hv nar.

To Stop Overdraft Evil. National banks in the Western cities have taken drastic steps with regard to the overdrawing evil, and their efforts along this line are being watched with keen interest by bank offiicials in this section. Some time ago the United States supreme court held that an officer of a bank who permits overdrafts without the consent of the directors, may be punished for misappropriation of funds. The attention of bankers throughout the country has been brought i to this ruling and many financial j institutions, especially in the i West and Southwest, are now taking steps which will effectually put a stop to this practice. It has always been customary to accommodate patrons in this j manner, as much as possible, ; and bankers admit that while ! overdrafts are not desirable, j they are almost a necessary evil for the smooth running of business affairs. With the absolute prohibition a patron would have | to keep a strict and accurate record of his bank account at all times or have his check returned onaccoun- of overdraft Convicts on the Roads. Unless we are misinformed, since the convicts of Georgia were apportioned among the different counties for road-building purposes a record of ten miles the day of substantially built road has been maintained. This means that Georgia is building more than 3,000 miles of modern highways every year. At that rate she will within a short time have the finest system of good roads to be found anywhere. So favored, Georgia will go ahead by leaps and bounds, it will be quite in possible for other States to compete with her in growth, either agriculturally or otherwise. Prospective settlers will go where they have conveniences, or the necessaries, and the time has come when good roads are necessary. Progress is impossible without them. South Carolina cannot afford to lag behind.?Ex. An equal division of all the money in the: United States would result in each man, woman and child possessing $34.61. That amount is the per capita circulation according to the calculation of the treasury department which estimates that the population of the country has ' CV-70 OCC grown irom ao determined by the census of 1910, to 94,958,000 on February 1, 1912.

As required by statute my books will be opened at my office in Yorkville on Monday, January 1, 1912, and kept open until February 20, 1912, for the purpose of listing for taxation all Personal and Real Property held in York I county on January 1, 1912. I All returns must be made in regular form and it is preferable that they be made by the property owner in person to me or my assistant, direct, on gHu, blanks provided for the purpose. The returns must be duly sworn to either before me or my assistant, or some other officer qualified to administer an oath. All items of realty, whether farms, or town lots, must be listed separately. i?utnrna maHp nn nroDer blanks, and sworn to before an officer qualified to administer an oath and forwarded to me by registered mail before February 20, 1912, will be accepted. All taxpayers aie particularly requested to inform themselves as to the number of their respective school districts, and where they have property in more than one school district, they will please make separate returns indicating the location of each piece of property. The school districts in which % there are special levies are as follows: Nos. 22, 23 and 27, in Bethel township; Nos. 6, 13, 14, 29, 33 and 43 in Bethesda township; Nos. 9, 20, 38, 40 and 44 in Broad River township; Nos. 9, 15, 20, 38 and 48 in Bullock's Creek township; Nos. 12, 45 and 46 in Catawba township; Nos. 7, 12, 32, 35. 36 and 43 in Ebenezer township; Nos. 26, 28 and 39, in Fort Mill townsnip; Nos. 2,21, 22, 37, 41, 44 and 49 in King's Mountain township; Nos. 11, 20, 21, 33, 35, 42, 43, 47, 48 and 49 in York township. For the purpose of facilitating the taking of returns, and for the greater convenience of taxpayers, I will be at the following places on the dates named: And at Yorkville from Thursday, February 1, until Tuesday, February 20. All males between the ages of twenty-one and sixty years, except Confederate soldiers over the age of fifty years, are liable to a poll tax of $1, and all persons so liable are especially requested to give the numbers of their respective school districts in making their returns. It will be a matter of much accommodation to me if as many taxpayers as possible will meet me at the respective appointments mentioned above, so as to avoid the rush at Yorkville during the closing days.
