FORT MILL. 8. C.. MAY 23. lttt
With the opening of spring
the commercial organization of
many towns in this State are
carrying out plans for the beautification
and improvement of their
communities. Cleanliness of
premises, of homes and business
buildings is being urged, together
with a general improvement of
back yards and alleys. Well-kept
laws, gardens and shrubbery are
to take the place of untidy piles
of refuse and debris. Fort Mill
along with the other towns of
the State is well adapted by
nature for beautification. The climate
and soil contribute liberady
to the growth of trees and flowers,
and nothing in the way of
attributes is lacking to carry out
the making of an attractive and
delightful community: provided,
of course, our people show the
proper spirit ?f progressiveness
and civic pride. An attractive
appearance is an actual business
asset to a community and we
would be pleased to see the peonle
of our town show their pro
gressiveness by carrying out the
idea.
The Columbia State is due at
least a modicum of sympathy
from the people of South Carolina.
For weeks The State had
put up a strenuous fight to have
the South Carolina delegation to
Baltimore instructed to vote for
Wilson for president, and by its
claims of Wilson's popularity in ,
this State, we doubt not that i
many of The State's readers had
been led to believe that the ;
Wilson instruction clause would
slide through the convention like J
hot grease through a tin horn. ,
But it didn't, thanks to the good |
judgment of that august body. ,
The delegates go to Baltimore j
loose-handed, to choose the man
who at that time they consider <
the most available and best fitted 1
to knock the socks off the Republicans
this Democratic year, j
The South Carolina delegates are
men of ability and sound judgement
and there is every reason
to believe that they will vote for
the best man when they are I
called on in the Baltimore convention.
One of the most effective ways
for local merchants to oppose encroachments
of mail-order houses
is to advertise liberally in their
hame paper. Too many merchants
sleep on their oars while
the catalog-house floods the community
with its literature and
takes a portion of the merchant's
trade. The average merchant
demurs at undertaking anything
like a thorough system of advertising,
contending that the drift
to the mail-order house is bound
to come; and yet he makes free
complaint when the express delivers
a foreign package into
his particular trade. The fact
of the matter is, the trade of any ;
community belongs to the merchants
of that community and
would come to them if they were
progressive enough to invite it
with good, live advertising.
For the worst road in this section
of the country, we believe
that Lancaster county's "King's
Highway," through Pleasant I
Valley to the JNorth Carolina
line, will take the cake. With
its numerous holes and washes,
the road is simply, horrible, except
to one traveling by oxcart. |,
The road from Baiies bridge to
the King's Highway" has? j
thanks to the progressiveness::
and good-will of Fort Mill citizens?been
put in fairly passable
shape during the last ten days.
But the "King's Highway," it's
a caution. We are told that the
good people of Pleasant Valley ,
may yet hold an indignation ,
meeting on account of their road, j
? ?In
a card in the Yorkville En- !
quirer of the 14th inst., "Voters J
of Western York" suggest Hon.
J. R. Haile, of Fort Mill, as a 1
man well fitted to represent York 4
county in the lower house of the
State Legislature. The numer
ous friends throughout the ,
county of Mr. Haile would be |
pleased to see him enter the race j
and would give him their hearty i
support. Mr. Haile has the matter
under consideration. !
i
If such a thing be possible, ' J
we would pe pleased for the \
esteemed Columbia State to pub- ,
lish just for once its honest !
opinion of the present political
strength of the several candidates
for the Democratic presi- <
denti&l nomination. ;
Sir jar f...
Hon. T. Both Butler, mayor of
Gaffney, has announced through
the news columns of the Yorkville
Enquirer that he will not be
a candidate for Congress this
year from the Pifth district of
South Carolina.
Every once in awhile the Chester
Lantern gets gay by copying
a squib from The Times and
placing a foolish heading to it,
thereby making an ass of itself.
Jones and BletK in Joint Debate.
By iong established custom for
State offices Governor Blease and
Judge Jones will meet in joint
debate within a few weeks in the
county seat of every county in
the State for a tour that will take
something like seven weeks to
complete.
The itinerary of the campaign
will be fixed by a meeting of the
sub-committee of the State executive
committee which will be
held within the next week or so,
and the campaign will begin
about June 15 and will continue
with little interruption until the
1 1* A i
laFC 01 AUgUSI,.
The issue will be "Bleaseism,"
and "Anti-Bleaseism." Judge
Jones will contend that the
governor has not been the governor
of the whole State, but
only of his friends, that he has
used the pardon power for
Solitical purposes, and has therey
encouraged lawlessness and
anarchy, and that Bleaseism has
become a reproach to the State. 1
Governor Blease, on the other
hand, will contend that he has
been a vigorous governor and let
no one boss him, and for that
reason has made enemies; that
his pardon power has been in the
interest of justice and mercy, and i
that his program of State economy
has been rigidly carried out.
The campaign promises to be the
.hottest fought in the State since
the early days of B. R. Tillman.
It bids fair to be bitter and personal
from the start and the
people of South Carolina are
awaiting its opening with inter
est
For Formers to Think About.
The cut worm, the boll weevil,
the Hessian fly, the potato bug
and miscellaneous other insects,
the field mice, the shrews and
the barn and house rats have no
quarrel over the high cost of
living. The country to them is
a land flowing with milk and
honey.
The farmer plants for them.
He provides them with shelter.
He raises scare-crows to warn
off their enemies. And in between
times the boys go forth
with rifle and shotgun, with
bird lime and "sling-shots" and
see to it that the insects and
rodents are further protected.
The department of agriculture
estimates that the tax the farmers
of the United States pay for
the luxury of insects and rodents
amounts to $1,000,000,000 a year.
This is the value of food destroyed.
It is that much taken
from the farmers' just profits.
It is that much food kept from
the markets where loud cries
are raised from time to time
against excessive prices.
When the farmers decide that
they prefer this money to the
food destroyers, they will stop
the forays on the birds. They
will encourage them to take up
early residence in the countryside
and to linger longer than is

hedges, leave a few more trees 1
standing, forbear to clear out all
the underbrush, so that the birds
may have nesting places and
those that stay through the
winter may have shelter. They
will not quarrel with the whole
tribe of hawks because an occasional
individual loots a pullet. ;
They will not try to kill off all i
the crows because sprouting corn j
is pulled up once in a while. Thev
will codsider these some slight
returns for the work of the
hawks, crows and owls in pur- j
suing the field mice and moles.
Kill the birds and accept the
insects. Spare the birds and be
spared the billion-dollar insect
tax. This is the choice the
farmers have to make.?Toledo

To Raise Half a Million.
The general assembly of the
Southern Presbyterian church in
session at Bristol, Tenn., has;
voted to raise more than a half
million dollars during the next
fiscal year, to be applied to
foreign missions. Consideration
and adoption of the report of
the committee on systematic
beneficence and the hearing of a
report from a committee of
which Dr. Jas. I. Vance of Nashville
is chairman, recommending
the taking of steps looking to a

What the Candidates Claim.
The situation as to how many
votes in the Baltimore convention
will be received by the va-:
rious candidates is more or less i
confusing.
With the beginning of the week
there seemed to be authentically
named for Mr. Clark 283 votes,
and upon the same basis of reas
aning, Mr. Wilson had 126. Mr.
Underwood had. instructed, 84;
Gov. Baldwin, 14; Gov. Marshall,
30; Gov. Harmon, 2.

Richeson Electrocuted.
The young Virginia minister,
Clarence V. T. Richeson, who
filled the pulpit of a prominent
church in Boston, Mass., in the
early hours yesterday, paid the
penalty with his life for foully
and secretly murdering young
Avis Linnef, a member of his
church, whom he had betrayed
and givei. a fatal dose of cyanide
of potassium, in order to cover
his disgrace so that he could
marry another young lady of
wealth to whom he had become
engaged. Virginia has furnished
four monsters, McCue
who murdered his wife, Claverius
who murdered his cousin,
Beattie who murdered his wife
and Richeson?but, be it said to
the credit of Virginia, she required,
as a forfeit, the lives of
the first three who violated her
laws and Massachusetts, likewise,
brought the fourth to justice.?Lancaster

Fnrman Students Honor Mr. Lee.
Correspondence Fort Mill Tunes.
Last Friday night crowned a
number of honors which the
college mates of Mr. Robt. G.
Lee have heaped upon him. Mr.
T.ee was elected to the presi
dency of our progressive college
Y. M. C. A. in January. Two
weeks ago he was elected editorin-chief
of the college magazine
which is one of the highest
honors the college can bestow
upon man. This magazine, The
Furman Echo, is recognized as
one of the best in the South and
we feel sure Mr. Lee will do his
part in maintaining its record.
Last Friday night Mr. Lee's society
elected him president of that
body. These honors are an expression
of the boys' appreciation
of Mr. Lee's ability to be a
leader of men. His record in
college, which is one of the
highest, proves his ability as a
student, and Fort Mill truly has
a reason to be proud of her son.

"Five years ago two doctors told me
I had only two years to live." This
startling statement was made by Stillman

lung medicine and I began to use Dr.
King's New Discovery. It was well I
did, for today I am working and believe
I owe my life to this great throat
and lung cure that has cheated the
grave of another victim." Its folly
to suffer with coughs, colds or other
throat and lung troubles now. Take
the cure that's safest. Price 50 cents
