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

>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

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;

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.
