Mrs. Pavid Moss and infant
I are ^otn reported as j
being' dangeronsly ill at their
'home two miles south of Fort
Mill. Mrs. Moss is a daughter
*' of John F. Youngblood of this
city.
The price of ten and one-half
cents per pound has caused many
bales of cotton to be brought to
this market during the last few
days. It is said .that in many
cases the farmers are selling cotton
and paying cash for fertiliW.
Harry Wylie, for several
years superintendent of buildings
and campus at Winthrop
College, has resigned to accept a
similar position at the State
Hospital, in Columbia, a place
which he filled before returning
to Rock Hill several years ago.
Local passenger train No. 36,
due at Fort Mill at 8:50 a. m.,
<i -- ? <ii<i not reach here Monday until
about 2:30 p. m., the delay being
due to the train crashing into a
northbound freight at Blythe- ;
wood early in the morning. The :
result of the accident was a
slight injury to Engineer Glenn
and the breaking of a leg for his
fireman, Barmore.
The Harris Furniture Company
is the name of a new concern
for Fort Mill that will open
ft business in the Meacham storeroom
on Main street. The new
Vy firm is composed of W. F. Harris
> and sons, Theodore and Jesse.
> The concern will carry a corn*
plete stock of medium and high-priced
furniture and house i'urnfljibings
and it is hoped to have
the tnisiness opened by April 1.
One the most pleasant affairs
ofr the past week was the
birthday dinner given Thursday
b} John i. Kimbrell at his home
mil* east of town. The
tw;
J da: marked the 67th anniversary
of the brth of Mr. Kimbrell,
^ , who assi-ted by his brothers,
J. S. and^- D- Kimbrell, entertained
a >arty of invited guests
in a mat;ler? the pleasantness of
which l?n? he remembered
by tho? present.
Old*' residents of this city do
not ^call a time when so great
^yfnber of trains have passed
^w-?nrough P'ort Mill daily as within
the last ten days. The heavy
traffic over the Charlotte-Columbia
division of the Southern is
due in part to the high water on
other lines, necessitating the detouring
of trains this way, and
the movement north of commercial
fertilizers which has for
several weeks been unusually
| heavy.
At a special meeting of city
council Tuesday evening it was
decided to sink a deep wed td
supply water for the business
section of the town, the same tc
be put down at a point bordering
Ion Main street at the stand in
Confederate Park. The sinking
of the new well was necessitated
by the closing of the present well
in Main street to make way lot
* the permanent paving. Council
also passed a resolution that the
ordinance against the shooting
of air rifles and slingshots ,>n the
streets be enforced.

Will Speak in Fort Mill.
Mayor A. R. McElhaney is in
receipt of a letter from Governor
Cole L. Blease in which the
latter agrees to address the
voters of Fort Mill upon his
visit to the township Friday,
next. It is expected that the
governor will reach Fort Mill
tomorrow morning at 8:50 o'clock
and will go direct to Gold Hill,
where he is scheduled to make
an address during the morning
at the closing exercises of the
Gold Hill school. The governor
will return to Fort Mill in the
afternoon and at 8:00 in the
evening will speak at the town
hall. A large crowd doubtless
i will be present to hear the govj
ernor's address, as this is the
! first time the town has been honored
by a visit of the State's
chief executive.
Paving to Begin at Once.
W. H. Goodson, supervisor of
construction for the Legre Con- j
struction company, the company
which is to put down the paving
on Fort Mill's main street, arrived
Monday evening from Columbia
and has since been busy
in preparing for the work. To a
i Times reporter Tuesday Mr. j
! finnHsnn stated that he was ex
j pecting a shipment of paving material
to reach Fort Mill Wednesnesday
and that work on the
street probably would begin today
or Friday. Mr. Goodson will
push the work with all possible
i haste, and with favorable weath!
er thinks that the paving should
j be completed by May 1.
Will Extend Paving.
Mayor McElhaney stated to
The Times man a few days ago
that the town of Fort Mill will
during the coming summer be in
position to put down cement
paving along several streets that
have not yet been given this improvement.
The paving will, as
heretofore, he put down on the
basis of the abutting property
I? \ 4
owners paying one-nan uie l-um
and the town bearing the balance.
The street committee will
at once confer with residents of
the streets along which it is proposed
to lay the paving, and if it
is found that a sufficient number
agree to the proposition, the work
will commence just as soon as
practicable.
The Teachers' Meeting.
The regular bi-monthly meet|
ingof the York County Teachers'
; association was held in the auditorium
of the Fort Mill graded
1 school building Saturday comi
mencing at 10 o'clock. A score
; or more teachers from the county
and a good crowd of patrons of
i the local school were in attendI
ance. The crowd of teachers
present doubtless would have
been larger except for the reason
that many from the western part
of the county were unable to
reach Fort Mill because of the
failure of the railroad service.
The meeting was entertaining
and instructive to both teachers
and patrons.
The election of officers was as
follows: Supt. L. Gunler of Rock
Hill, was elected president; Supt.
F. W. Moore, secretary and
treasurer, while the seven vice
presidents were reelected.
A. E. Martin of Indiana, an 1
experienced teacher, closed the
meeting with a short talk.

Editor Fort Mill Times:
1 noticed in a recent issue of
Tha 'fin,* n article from Mr.
H. R. Merritt giving the number
of soldiers Fort Mill furnished
the Confederacy, the number
killed, wounded, etc. The figures
were correct, insofar as I
know, exceptas to the survivors.
Of these, there are thirty-odd
still with us, among whom are
the following:
J. M. Armstrong, W. H. Armstrong,
W. T. Aldtrspn, Joe Bennett,
James Burns, Frank Barron,
Zack Bailes, J. D. Culp, Gum

there are possibly other survivors
of company B,'but these
are all that I can recall at present.

Weltest Winter m i ears.
| That the winter (if 1911-12 has
been the wtttest experienced by
! tiiis section in many years is not
only attested by overflowing
ponds, lakes and streams, but by
the figures displayed by weather
. bureau stations at various points.
I The figures show that the rain,
fall of the last three months has
r not only been more than half the
; yearly average of each of the
last four years, but more than
half the total for the year show
ing the greatest precipitation
> 1911.
The excessive rainfall of the
? last three months has brought
? about a serious condition of afi
fairs on the farms of this section
s of the State, for little of the
. necessary plowing has been done
t up to tne present time. The
? fields are so boggy that it is im:
possible ior mules to go into
- them, and with rains stnl falling,
r the average farmer is decidedly
i blue. it is certain that there
r will have to he a general curtail
ment of acreage as planned at
- the beginning of the year, and it
j is feartd that such curtailment
r will be at the expense of food
t crops, instead of being taken
i from the cotton fields.
The
Availability of Champ Clark.
Editor Fort Mill Times:
Nothing1 could speak more eloquently
for the sterling citizenship
of the people of our State
than their unyielding adherence
to political principle. Except the
Civil war and Reconstruction
eras, in every national election
since the formation of the Federal
government the support of
South Carolina could be depended
upon for the cause which deserved
success. This year, as in
the past, our people will go tc
the ballot box and vote the Democratic
ticket, and it looks as if
we had an excellent chance to
win the Presidency. With the Republicans
fighting among themselves
like Kilkenny cats and divided
into irreconcilable factions,
and with the record of achievement
of the Democratic House of
Representatives on which to appeal
to the country for endorsement,
it is hard to figure how
the Democracy will lose the elec?
< n 1 _
Hon 01 lifiZ unie.ss a serjuun
blunder is made in the Baltimore
convention. We are in position
to win, and will win, if we act
wisely in selecting our nominee;
but at best it isn't going to be
any child's play to beat the Republicans.
They are powerfully
entrenched and will contest with
us every advantageous position.
All the more reason, therefore,
that we should exercise a fine
degree of discrimination in nominating
our candidate. First of
ail we should demand that our
nominee be a man of the people
and right at heart, that he be
progressive but at the same time
safe and sane. We do not need,
and cannot win with, a candidate
whose record is such that we
shall have to apologize for it on
every stump in the land. With
such a candidate we are certain
to go down in discouragirg deteat.
All of us want to win we
are tired of losing year after
year. So it is to our interest
to look the situation in the
face and avoid tne blunders
which we might otherwise make.
The recoi u on which the Deinmoeracy
must appeal to the
country for vindication of its
aims and purposes is about made,
1 -1- "'1 ^
<IT)C1 11 was mauf HI wmi^UOD,
not by the Governor or Legislature
of any State. One cannot
disassociate the victory of
our party in the congressional
elections of 1910 and the consequent
legislation in behalf of the
people from the name of Champ
Clark, the great Missourian who
by the force of his intellect and
his untiring efforts for the restoration
of representative government
did more than any half
dozen men to make the victory
possible. We could do worse
than to consider the advisability
of making Mr. Clark our nominee.
Of humble Kentucky parentage,
he is preeminently a
man of the people. lie is a
Southern man in every fibre of
his being and is in thorough accord
with the sentiment of our
people on all the questions which
confront us. The sufficiency of
Mr. Clark's friendship for the
South is lacking in neither quantity
nor quality. His eulogy of
Gen. Robert E. Lee removes all
doubt, if tnere should be doubt,
on that score, and if he is nominated
and elected the South will
have in the White House the
best friend it has had there since
Andrew Jackson was President.
With Mr. Ciark as our nominee
neither the Republican press nor
toe Republican politicians could
taunt us to our discomfiture with
toe charge that he ever bolted
the party or that his campaign
for the nomination was financec;
hv Wall street. His party record
is as straight as a shingle ant
cannot he assailed. He lias nevei
failed to support with all hi;
might the party nominees ant
every vote tie ever cast in hi;
seventeen years of service it
Congress was in the interest o:
the common people of this coun
try. He is no recent convert t(
the things for which the Dem
mocracy is now contending; hi
has been a Democrat ail his lift
and has ever been in sympath;
with the demands of the party
"His record," says a curren
writer, "is the record of thi
Democratic party, and any oh
jection that may be raised to hin
in this regard must be raised t<
the Democratic party." Ther
would be no desertions from Mr
Clark among tiie millions o
Democrats who demand part;
regularity. Nor has he eve
spoken unkindly of, much les
assailed, the lauor unions, H<

labor has in its ranks a inillioi

it
of the Union, it is obvious that
no Democrat can be elected with- J |
out labor union votes. Many of J )
. these men are Democrats, ordi- j j
; nariiy, but party allegiance is j
not ;is strong with them as it is j
i with South Carolinians, and if j
we nominate a candidate they 1
, believe to be unfriendly to them
they will not vote for him. Mr.
' Clark is not only on good terms
with the labor unions, but he is on
good terms with everybody, except
those who would prey upon
i the people for their own gain,
and it is certain that if he is our
' nominee we shall not have to go |
? through the campaign on the de- $
fensive. In the effort which Mr. ?
Clark's friends are making to g
secure for him the nomination ! ft
' they have not oeen aoie 10 upen n
luxurious headquarters in his be- gj
' half in New York or elsewhere, g
and it is a noticeable fact that I
the independent and Republican B
newspapers which are urging ?
the Republicans to nominate i ^
Roosevelt are not urging the k
Democrats to nominate Mr. g
Clark. They prefer another |
Democratic candidate. Why? |
j Because they want Roosevelt u
elected. Today Mr. Clark is the g
i leading candidate for the nomi- ?
nation, with 66 instructed dele- g
gates?36 from Missouri, 10 from jj
Oklahoma and 20 from Kansas- H
to 10 instructed delegates for all g
1 the other candidates; and when ?
j the conventions are held in Cali-, i
fornia, Arkansas, Iowa and Wis- 3
consin within the next few days Jj
he bids fair to have a lead of 146 |
votes over his opponents. He is i
well and favorably known in all g
sections of the country and if our ft
I party is wise enough to nominate { I
! him practically all Democrats and n
1 thousands of Republicans agree ?
1 that he will be elected. In select- ?
ing our State's eighteen delegates I gj
to the Baltimore convention we j j p
cannot afford to ignore Mr. J r-'
