In an editorial *n The Times last week the st^ement was made that the lawyer, members of the General Assembly "are able to get through the Legislature almost any kind of legislation they desire." There is a deal of difference between that statement and the statement the York News undertal ts to put in The Times' mouth when it credits The Times with s;: ing "that they (the lawyers) can get through any kind of legislation tney aesire. i ne j imcs maao no such statement aid The News could have been in better business than misquoting this paper. Nor did we say anything in the editorial that would give offense to any of the non-professional members of the legislature, as The News undertook to show. There are many good men in the Legislature, both inside and outside the profession of law. but we stand by the statement that there are too many lawyers in the General Assembly, particularly in the Senate. We have all seen how the lawyer members of the Senate have trifled with the interests of the people during the present session of the Legislature until complaint is ( going up all over the State about the dilatory tactics adopted by i that body in refusing to act upon the measures sent over : there from the House. Why has % the Senate failed to vote on the Fortner bill? Is the failure due 1 to political cowardice? If not, j perhaps The News will be able to ( give the reason therefor. If , every county in South Carolina ] was represented in the Senate j by a man as anxious to expedite the work of that body in the interest of his constituents as the Senator from York, there would be no occasion for complaint. There is nothing in the i point The News tries to raise1 in apology for the Senate in the statement that "the Senate has trimmed the appropriation bill something like $325,000." The News must have known that the action of the Senate in this connection was a "stall," pure and simple, for political effect; that the bill had to go to conference with the House members, and that the Senate knew when it trimmed the appropriation bill that the House never would agree to all its amendments, or to any considerable part of them. So we say there is nothing in The News' apology fur the Senate. Nr. Lee's Marksmanship. Speaking of the record which Mr. Tom K. Lee, a Fort Mill i young man, has made recently f in his home city, Birmingham, Ala., The ledger prints the following: "The shooting of Mr. Lee has c been phenomenal and his records f will probably be unequalled for s years if, indeed, they are ever t tied. As each record is perfect r he can never be beaten on that d number of shots. a "His work has attracted the t attention of the entire country d and his records are accepted by u the war department of the )< United States which has sent out notices of them over the,b country. : u "The Stevens Rifle and Arms v company, manufacturers of the v kind of gun he shoots with, has'c sent him the best small guage a rifle the company makes, in d recognition of his wonderful tl ^ marksmanship. The Peters fi \ Cartridge company has notified b him that it is sending him a tl iarge shipment of cartridges in n appreciation of his work." ja ^ . *r i PUBLIC SCHOOL HONOR BOLL By Prof. J. P.

The Rock Hill Herald a few days ago received the following article, showing that there are those who are confident that the groundhog is responsible for the weather conditions of the past two weeks: You may sometimes fail in getting your little two-pound bundle of groundhog from the butcher on time, or even later discover that it contains a trace of ground beef, but the sceptic on the groundhog as a weather prognosticator has disappeared to his own warm cozy corner. All signs fail sometimes, but this year the second day of February was beautifully clear and mild, just the kind of a day for the most prudent and well raised groundhog to sally forth from his borough to size up weather conditions for the coming six weeks, and now even we here in Rock Hill can scarcely believe imid the "57" varieties of weather since February 2, that ;here "ain't nothin' in signs." We may consult our best medical almanacs, and even the earned Professors of agriculture is to the right time of the moon ;o plant onions or Irish potatoes uid through some neglect otherwise fail or make a short crop. Planting in the moon may be all ight, but planting in the earth ' s better. Any of us are liable to fail sometimes, with all our knowledge and farsightedness, but when it comes right down to strict high grade mid'ling bus- ! ness, Mr. Groundhog as a proglosticator of the weather is a c.?i. * i " ui liic iirst magnitude. lie :an give the weather man cards i tnd spades and beat him at his < >wn game. Such weather can . lardly be described in more 'orceful IanRuaRe than that used inder similar circumstances by i resident of the mountainous egions of Virginia, who in the 1 :ourse of his letter to a paper vrose as follows: "First it blew , ind then it snew, and then it 'riz, and then it thew."

When one of our great men wrote: "The Law of Worthy Life is Fundamentally the Law of Strife," he laid down a law of business as well. It is only through labor and painful effort?by severe energy and resolute courage, that we move on to do greater things. It is only thru the daily striving to do better in store service and in value giving, that this store has been able to retain its enviable position. And now it is our wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the people of Fort Mill and vicinity for the gratifying evidence of good will and a magnificent demonstration of confidence that has come to us in greatly increasing business since we opened one year ago. Hard as a rock and cold as marble would be the heart that did not cheerfully respond to such a convincing display of confidence, and in showing our sincere appreciation of the favors WE have received at your hands, it is not our desire to express I such thru the glittering generalities of cold and unfeeling type?and now it is we are going to show our appreciation in a material way in offering to you during 7 Checks for 7 Cold or Drinks for - - - Read This: Big Soa Any 10c article in the store 8c jn t^is jjne we , Any 25c article in the store 21c undersell.
