There is perhaps not another county in the Fifth congressional district, or in South Carolina, that has a similar political situation to YDrk. It is several months until the primary election, to be sure, but in most, if not all. of the other counties the papers are carrying cards for aspirants for the offices to be filled. In York, nowever. it is different Up tc this time not a man has announced his candidacy through the papers, although a number haye confided to their friends that they would be in the running, and quite a number of others have been spoken of as probable candidates. It is highlj probable, though, that within a week or two the readers of the several papers of the county will have the pleasure (?) of reading numerous appeals to the "dear peepul" and that the candidates will then begin an active campaign of the county. Jimmie Beamguard, of Clover, (everybody knows him) makes the announcement by letter to a Fort Miiil friend that he will enter the race for State senator in opposition to Thos. F. McDow, of Yorkville, whose candidacy % for the place was announced some days ago. Mr. Beamguard has served York county as a member of the lower house of the Legislature for several terms and his course there has been that of a man of sane thought, strong personal convictions and the highest principles. With no others in the race, the candidacy of Messrs. McDow and Beamguard doubtless will be an interesting affair. The Times wishes to endorse the suggestion of Z. T. Bailes in a communication elsewhere that Fort Mill put out candidates for State senator and county supervisor and two men better fitted for the places than those named L -- \!t O/n il/\n n/mil/1 r? La ^ am n sJ uy i>ir. iHujve. vutnu iiuv uc iuuuu in tbe-countv. Then, too, it has several years since, a Fort jS Mill man has been given a slice f from York's pie counter. r Quite a number of the newspapers of the State have during the last week printed the despatch sent out from Columbia in which it was stated that political sentiment had changed in Fort Mill since the last election and that the township probably would vote for Judge Jones in the elections next fall?all of which is really interesting, if true. We are somewhat puzzled to know why the country newspapers which own lynotype machines are the best patrons of the ready-to-print plate concerns. Political Dark Horses. In politics as in horse racing, a difference of opinion is absolutely essential to the life of the game, and the man with sporting blood in him has in each an equal show to gratify his proclivities. Does he like to take a long chance in politics, he will pick out some likely, dark horse and industriously tout the chances of his choice. Perhaps the long shot will win, and then the man who backs him cashes in hand'somely and gets credit besides for extraordinary sagacity. Just now the political woods are full of dark horses. Were one making a boo!: on the situation many of the possible candidates would bp quoted at about one million to one. But the situation is unusually open this presidential year. There is a fairish crop of favorites, and a larger number of second choices. True, Taft and Clark seem just now to be the first choices, if one will but read the* claims of their literary bureaus; but then Roosevelt, Wilson, Harmon, Underwood and La Follette, so their managers say, ought to be chalked up as odds-on favorites. It leaves hardly any one who can be called a second choice. Mr. Finley is For Clark. Speaking to a representative of the News and Courier a few days ago, Congressman D. E. Finley of this, the Fifth, .congressional district had the following to say of the candidacy of Speaker Champ Clark, of Missouri: "The nominee may be a dark horse, but I do not think so. He will probably be one of the men now running?Clark, Harmon, Underwood or Wilson. "I have never used any harsh expressions towards any of the . candidates for the nomination at Baltimore. I do not think il wise to do so. I think that manj .* of the leading Democratic newspapers, and even some of their in South Carolina, are making s serious mistake in publishing vicious attacks on candidates foi the nomination. "While personally I am ir favor of the nomination of Speaker Clark, for the reason that 1 think him the strongest candidate we could choose, yet'if Mr. - Underwood or Governor WHsor or Governor Harmon were nomis nated it would be an easy mattei - for me to loyally support them, ? because I have not maligned oi in any aggressive way criticised ? any of them. rj "It is time for the Democrat I to stoD fiehting and tearing eacl - other to pieces and to centre al . their energy and force on the Republicans. The Democrats ; now have the House of Representatives, and after the 4th oi March next we shall have charge of every branch of the National Government. This is a Democratic year." i Swat the Early Fly. ; The few flies that have survived the severe winter are now ; beginning to move about. In a very short time they will begin laying their eggs and, as genera, tion succeeds generation very rapidly, each fly now living may : become the progenitor of swarm;' ing thousands before the sum met is half over. 11 If every house, office and store ;1 were carefully looked over at once and all flies killed, there ; would be a notable difference in ' the summer's fly crop, and this L wouid mean increased comfort , and better health for our people. ' It has been proved that the fly is , an important agency in spread ; ing typhoid fever ana tnat 11 may readily carry tuberculosis ( and other diseases. Why not start a fly campaign right now? Why not rid your own house at once of every fly and suggest to your neighbors to . do likewise? Why not tell the boys and girls of the danger of | the deadly fly and encourage them to hunt for them and kill every one they find? Why not begin using fly traps and fly paper now? The two old sayings, "an ounce of prevention i3 worth a pound of cure," and "a stitch in time saves nine," both apply with force to the fly problem. Many Changes in the Senate. On March 3, next, thirty United States senators will retire to private life if they have not meanwhile been re-elected by the legislatures of their several States. The outgoing list numbers seventeen Republicans and thirteen Democrats. Among them are soipe of the most influential members of the upper house, on the Democratic side as well as on the Republican side. The seventeen Republicans are: Messrs. Cullomof Illinois, Nelson of Minnesota, Richardson of Delaware, Wetmore of Rhode Island, Warren of Wyoming, Smith of Michigan, Kenyon of Iowa, Guggenheim of Colorado, (gamble of South Dakota, Dixon of Montana, Curtis of Kansas, Crane of Massachusetts, Burni ham of New Hampshire, Brown j of Nebraska, Briggs of New Jer; sey, Bourne of Oregon and Borah of Idaho.

Why Called "Tar Heels." (Charlotte Observer.) Why are North Carolinians ofttimes called "Tar Heels" and , how did the name originate? This question was put to several Charlotte people yesterday afternoon and last night and some very interesting answers were given. It was agreed on all sides that the term originated during the War Between the States and was first heard in i Virginia in 1862 and 1863. The j designation was applied in jest to North Carolina about the campfires, following the custom of naming the soldiers from the several States after the most notable distinctive product of that State. At that time tar was perhaps North Carolina's best known product, and by a very easy change, the troops from this State were called "Tar Heels." In like manner, troops from lower South Carolina were called "Rice Birds." It was a very common remark about the camp-fires for one soldier to shout out to another as a third approached: "Look and see if he's got any tar on his heels." The North Carolina troops accepted the name in good grace, declaring that like tar they "held fast" to whatever they had. "stuck" to what they be gan, and left their marks whereever they went. The Virginians in reply declared that "tar always ran whenever it got hot." However that may be, the name | was so good that it held on after the war and the term is in general use today. Nineteen Miles a Second without a jar, shock or disturbance, is the awful speed of our earth through space. We wonder at such ease of nature's movement, and so do those who take Dr. King's New Life Pills. No griping, no distress, just thorough work tnat brings good health and fine feelings. 25c at Parks Drug Co., Fort Mill Drug Co. and Ardrey's Drug ' Store.

[ Speaking to a newspaper man of Columbia about his recent visit to Fort Mill, Governor ' Blease is quoted as having said that he was much pleased with the cordial reception with which he met on his visit to Fort Mill. "You know Fort Mill is close to Lancaster, but I am pleased with the support which was assured me in that neighborhood," the j governor is quoted as saying. In reply to a question the governor said that he was receiving good reports from all sections of the !: State, and that he had no fears of the result. He is confident, of defeating Judge Jones by a gwu Iliajui iwjr. Mrs. A. Friedheim Passes. Word was received in this city early Tuesday morning of the death Monday evening at her home in Rock Hill of Mrs. Arnold Friedheim, wife of Mr. Arnold Friedheim, one of Rock Hill's most prominent citizens.
