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."

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
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

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. Sprinkle a little Harmony
Hair Beautifier on you hair each time
before brushing it. Contains no oil;
will not change oolor of hair, nor darken
gray hair.
To keep hair and scalp dandruff-free
and clean, use Harmony Shampoo.
This pure liquid shampoo "J^Tves an instantaneous
rich lather that immediately
penetrates to every part of hair and
scalp, insuring a quick, thorough
cleansing. Washed oft just as quickly
the entire operation takes only a few
moments. Contains nothing that can
harm the hair; leaves no harshness or
stickiness?just a sweet cleanliness.
Both preparations come in odd-shaped
very ornamental bottles, with sprinkler
tops. Harmony Hair Beautifier, $1.00.
Harmony Shampoo, 50c. Both guaranteed
to satisfy you in every way, or
your money back. Sold only at the
more, than 7,000 Rexall Stores, and in
this town only by us. ? Ardrey's Drug

Statement by Lin Massey:
Strenuous strivings lead on to greater
mings. wnen one ol 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
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 olfering to you during
