The News in Wrong.
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

Blames the Groundhog.
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

When one of our woman customers
recently bought five bottles of Har- ,

friends for Christmas, she started all i
by herself a mighty big advertising .
campaign, because not only does each
one of the women to whom she gave J
a bottle of the Reautifier now consider i
it indispensable for the proper care of
the hair, but each of them has been
the means of getting several of her
friends to use it. As a consequence,
if things keep on in this way for a few
months longer, we will be selling more
of it than of all other hair preparations
combined. Sprinkle a little Harmony
Hair Reautifier on you hair each time I
before brushing it. Contains no oil; ?
will not change oolor of hair, nor dark- !
en gray hair. 1
To keep hair and scalp dandruff-free
and clean, use Harmony Shampoo.
This pure |i<prid shampoo "tfives an instantaneous
rich lather that immediately
penetrates to every part of hair and

aiaiement Dy un Massey:
Strenuous strivings lead on to greater
things. 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
