No. 112. Entered at the poetofflce at Fort Mill. S. C.. as mail matter of the second class. THURSDAY. MARCH 5.1914. The Newi in Wrong. In an editorial 4n The Times last week the statement was made that the lawyer, members of the General Assembly "are able to get through tho Legislature almost any kind of legislation they desire." There is a deal of difference be I. ween that statement and the statement the York News undertal.es 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 they desire." The Times made no such statement ar.d 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 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 to political cowardice? If not, perhaps The News will be able to give the reason therefor. If every county in South Carolina was represented in the Senate 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 , noint Thp Npws trip.: tn rni?p 1 ? ? - 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 for the Senate. Nr. Lee's Narksmanship. Speaking of the record which i Mr. Tom K. Lee. a Fort Mill young man, has made recently j in his home city, Birmingham, < Ala., The Ledger prints the following: "The shooting of Mr. Lee has been phenomenal and his records : will probably be unequalled fori years if, indeed, they are ever tied. As each record is perfect he can never be beaten on that number of shots. "His work has attracted the attention of the entire country and his records are accepted by the war department of the United States which has sent out notices of them over the I country. "The Stevens Rifle and Arms company, manufacturers of the: kind of gun he shoots with, has sent him the best small guage rifle the company makes, in recognition of his wonderful marksmanship. The Peters Cartridge company has notified him that it is sending him a; jarge shipment of cartridges in. appreciation of his work." - " " PUBLIC SCHOOL HOHOK MLL By Prof. J. P. Coats.

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 amid the "57" varieties of weather since February 2, that there "ain't nothin' in signs." we may consult our best medical almanacs, and even the learned Professors of agriculture as to the right time of the moon to plant onions or Irish potatoes and through some neglect otherwise fail or make a short crop. Planting in the moon may be all right, but planting in the earth is 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 business, Mr. Groundhog as a prognosticator of the weather is a star of the first magnitude. He can give the weather man cards and spades and beat him at his own game. Such weather can hardly be described in more forceful language than that used under similar circumstances by a resident of the mountainous regions of Virginia, who in the course of his letter to a paper wrose as follows: "First it blew and then it snew, and then it friz, and then it thew." Wednesday Adjournment Day. The Senate and House on Satday fixed Wednesday as the day for final adjournment of the 1914 session of the Legislature, but the legislative day of March 4 may be extended through Thursday and even into Friday. The appropriation bill will hardly go to the governor before Wednesday morning and he can keep it until Saturday if it takes that long for him to consider it. It appears now that there will be little if any general legislation upon expected lines. Nothing will come of the efforts to provide for primary reform, the compulsory education bills will all go to the junk heap, either directly or by the veto route; there will be no revision or modification of the present abominable system of tax assessments; there will be no highway commission legislation nor tax on automobiles for better roads, i rasrosti ^saJsSgjiC&rt f J klr^t^rn 11M&* F?GITR1 m yours. cuBhMb nflHEN you be WB?r aT.TJ ?Hoe wit jafSap/ MAfl tered and 3&$r 1 ' you get v?

"Sells It For Less LOCAL WOMAN NOW A BIG ADVERTISER When one of our woman customers recently bought five bottles of Harmony Hair Beautifier to give to her friends for Christmas, she started all by herself a mighty big advertising campaign, because not only does each one of the women to whom she gave a bottle of the Beautifier now consider 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.
