V8|LD'S BEST RIFLEMAN
following item from the
Bitttingham (Ala.) Ledger of
ift'-.V the?19th, will be read with more
than passing interest by the
people of this section: ,
"T. K. Lee, of the Birmingham
Athletic, club, has broken
% the world's record for consecutive
rifle shooting, Lee having I
scored three straight "possibles,"
or perfect scores.
"He tied the world's record !
Sunday one week ago by making*
his second "possible." and great
interest was felt in his next
attempt, which occurred Satur
day. He made another perfect
r score on that occasion and the
little old world's record is ndw
lightly heldMn the palm of the
hand of a Birmingham man;
. ^ "Mr. Lee's first appearance in 1
the limelight occurred something
over a year ago, when he!
equalled the world's record for
hitting moving targets, but this i
latest performance was much
more wonderful and there is
none to dispute his claim to the
world's championship."
Mr. T. K. Lee is the fifth son
of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Lee, of
Fort Mill, and is well known
throughout this section.
Asylum Probe is Ordered.
Proceeded by warm denunciation
of the board of regents,
voiced in a 3trong speech from
Senator Couch, the State senate
Friday morning adopted by a
vote of 30 to 9, the house concurrent
resolution ordering an
investigation into the asylum
and its management. Minutes
of the board of regents, hitherto
kept private, were used by
Senator Couch in his speech
calling for the passage of the
resolution, in which he denounced
as cowardly the action
of the board in passing a resolution
condemning Dr. J. W.
Babcock, the superintendent of
the institution, and his lady
assistant, Dr. Saunders, on December
23, and then in January
turned around and passed reso- j
lutions vindicating Dr. Saunders, j

^^^Hitics of this township, and
H^^Vnot care to enter into any conHHHversv
whatsover concerning
H^^Hne; but as it is a known fact
^^^ at 1 am the correspondent of
|^^He York News from this section,
^^Bask it as a privilege to justify
^^Rny statement.
In gathering news for these
^ weekly letters, 1 always try to 1
get the matters of interest, not
to the people of Fort Mill but. the
county in general. However, as
I heard several of Mr. Biankenship's
most intimate friends say
that he would not be in the race
again for reelection, I thought I
had the right in so stating it,
being careful to emphasize the j
fact that it was a rumor.
As to injuring Mr. Blankenship,
or furthering the cause of)
any other man, that decidedly
was not my purpose, for I am !
not a man of that caliber. I
merely used the statement as a!
news matter.
Hoping that you will be kind
enough to allow this space in
your valuable paper to let the
people of this vicinitv know that I
J am not in this community to stir
I up political strife, nor to speak
a word that would injure any
citizen of this township, either
personally or politically, I am
Resp. yours,

The Waterworks Commission.
Editor Fort Mill Times:
I notice a communication in i
your issue of this date from
"Tax Payer," suggesting that'
the petitions now being circulated
asking for an election on
the question of issuing bonds j
for water works be withdrawn, j
or amended, so as to insert the
names of three citizens who
shall act as a commission having
charge of the construction or
purchase of the proposed system
of water works.
Please allow me to state that
this pnase of the matter is cared
for in our statute law. Sections
3015, 3016 and 3017, Code of
Laws, 1912, Vol. 1, which authorizes
cities and towns to erect,
construct and operate systems
of water works ancl lights, reSuire
that at every election upon
he question of a bond issue for
such a purpose, the electors shall
vote for three citizens of the
, whose terms of office shall
K' y'
A B
be for two, four and six years,
an i who shall be known as the
Commissioners of Public Works.
These commissioners are vested
with authority to build or contract
for building the water
works plant, and have the full
control and management of it.
They fbrm a permanent body,
which ranks as an agent of the
municipality, and is independent
of the town council, except that
thfy cannot incur indebtedness
w ihout the consent of the
council.

RIVALS THE PANAMA CANAL
Some Surprising Facts About Great
Waterway Being Constructed
Across New York Stats.
Comparatively few persons have
given serious attention to the fact
that a great barge canal, at an estimated
total cost of $101,000,000, is
being constructed across central and
western New York state. This great
walled-up waterway with its locks,
water gates, spillways and highway
bridges, winds across the state from
the Hudson t<^ Tonawanlla, giving
access to the old Erie canal, Oswego
canal. Lake Champlain, St. Lawrence
and Great lakes, opening a
grand highway from the seaboard
and the first city of the Union.
When one considers that the canal
extends as the crow Hies, 1153.5 miles
across the state, and with the branches
to Lake Champlain and Lake Ontario
has a total length of 463.5

TRACES ORIGIN OF CANCER
Discovery by European Scientist
Marks Important Step in Treat
ment of Dread Disease.
The results of experiments to find
the origin of cancer have been published
bv Prof. Johannes Fibiger, director
of the Pathol ogi. al institute at
Copenhagen.
His researches show that cancerous
growths in the esophagus and stomachs
of rodents were duo

in 1 ho alimentary canal of minute
worms, an indeterminate number
of which arc from the common
cockroach. Professor Fihiger succeeded
in producing cancer by feeding
eggs of cockroaches to rats.
The experiments arc considered of
great importance to seekers for a
cure of cancer, as they form the first
Experimental production of the disease.
PRETTY ENGAGEMENT GIFT.
A very prettv engagement gift is
a stack of sachets made of satin riblwm
two inches wide. The sachets are
cut in squares, padded, sprinkled
with sachet and the edges overcast.
A dozen of these are stacked one on
top of the other, tied together with a
baby ribbon like a package and the
bow on top finished with a tiny
bunch of five roses. The recipient of
the gift unties the sachets and scatters
them among her clothes.
Leaves for these roses mav be
made from a piece of green satin
ribbon two inches long and a half

Trill Others How to Get Strong
and WelL .
Mrs. W. W. Lake of Aberdeen,
Miss!, says: "The grippe had left me
In a weak, run-down condition from
I which' I suffered for some time. I
tried different remedies but nothing
| seemed to do me any good until X
took Vinol, from which I received
great benefit. My cough is almost
entirely gone and I am strong and
well again, and I am glad to recommend
VJnol to others who suffer as I
did."
Mrs. Lake's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from cods' livers
?combined with the blood making
and strength creating properties of
tonic iron, which are contained in
Flnol, and her cough disappeared as
a natural result.
We guarantee that Vlaol will do all
we claim and will pay back your
money if Vinol does not satisfy you.
