The election for the issue o $15,000 in bonds for the installa tion of a water system in For Mill will he held tomorrow. Th< reasons that demand the s.vsten are too well known to be cited On the issue of the election wil turn the question of whether th< town w ill take a progressive stei or whether it will be brought t( a standstill with a probability o retrograding in the matter o material md industrial enter prisear not to speak of the de terioration of the health eon ditions that must follow from i lack of pure water which the sys tun would furnish. We feel thai it is for the best interests of th< town that this issue of bond: shall be made and we urge tin patriotic citizens of Fort Mil who are qualified to vote in tin election t< morrow to interrupt their private activities lonj. enough to go to the polls an< vote. Time to Clean Up. Spring made its advent a fev days ago and it is now time thai the residents of Fort Mill shoulc busy themselves in cleaning uj their premises, both inside anc out. During the winter month: there is a natural tendency foi filth to accumulate in the bacl alleys and yards of the city, anc if the condition is allowed tc continue, it constitutes not onh an offense to the eyesight am often to the nostrils, but is i menace to the healthfulness oJ the community as well. Foi several years Fort Mill has helt a "clean up" day. and already the work of gathering rubbish in the present spring cleaning up campaign has been commenced by a number of the boys of the town. Tuesday, April 21, is the last day for gathering tin trash, for on this day a spccia committee to be named by tlu mayor will make an inspectior of all the trash piles and aware the prizes offered by council tc 4 the young fellows showing the largest piles. Much good has been accomplished in formei clean-up campaigns and it is believed that the work this spvinp will show equally as good results. Residents of the city should co-operate with the boys by giving them free access tc the premises and assist them in any other possible way in ridding the town of all trash and decayed matter. The clean-u] fiimnmnn ic (]w> nnn ninnnc r,,.. x ? i ?? \?iu iiirnun vmi residents have, with absolutely no expense to themselves, ol putting their premises in condition for the long summei months soon to follow. A vote for the bonds means a slight increase in taxation, bul a vote against the bonds mean* the sacrifice of the upbuilding and general healthfulness of the town, to say nothing of the great convenience it will afford the residents. I)o you considei a few dollars each year of greater importance than giving the town these much needed improvements. A vote for the bend issue foi waterworks will moan a step forward. A vote against it will mean retrogression. Which way are you going backward 01 f or ward ? I Release the brakes, shove in the clutch, drop a vote for the waterworks, and let the town ^ move forward. * House Repeals Tolls Exemption. The lower branch of Congress .late.. Tuesday passed the Sims bill to repeaTt!Te"t<5lt5 -exemption clause of the Panama Canal act by v vote of 248 to 162. Of the South Carolina representatives who took part in the vote upon the measure, Messrs. Byrnes, Johnson and Lever voted in favor of the repeal clause, . j while Mr. Finley vQted against it. L | Encampment at Charleston. Hi A joint camp of instruction for the field training of the regular army and the militia " troops of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida has * been ordered by the war de' partment to be held in the vicinity of Charleston, S. C., from July 1 to August 15. Orders to this efFect were received - Monday by Adjutant General i W. W. Moore, of South Carolina. - Each State has a federal appropriation of $18,000 for exj penses of this campaign. A regular army officer will he de" tachcd to command the encampment. Provision is stated in the order 1 that no more than three regi ments will be in the encamp1 ment at one time, because of the ? econom.v of holding small en3 campments. The four States 3 are said to have about 14 regif ments of militia troops. p This order is the announcement of the completed plans for this encampment of the Ninth division militia troops tentatively " announced by the war depart1 ment several months ago. t Many Tax Executions. County Treasurer Harry E. ; Neil estimates that there are up wards of 1,(5(10 taxpayers in York 1 county who failed to pay their taxes before the books were I closed on March 15, and against each of whom executions will he j issued. Treasurer Neil and his assistant, Mr. Parrott, have both been busy fer several days pre-! paring the executions and as soon as the work is completed the ex- ; ,r editions will be turned over to t Sheriff Brown who will look up j | the delinquents. j Will Test Webb Lew. ? The seizure in the freight j depot at Greenville a few days j ago of more than 100 gallons of ^ whiskey may result in an im- i 1 portal t test of the Webb law in 3 this Siate. The seizure of such f a large quantity of whiskey in a 1 freight ( dice is unprecedented in i the upper part of the State. It r is the opinion in Greenville that j the lors will fall upon the ship-' j per ai d not upon the addressee. , The Gieenville ( flierrs say they ( will make all seizures under the j Webb law pending tests in the ' ' courts.

He is the I aged Mecklenburg county man sentenced to die April 4th for wife murder. Governor Craig's reasons for - commutation follow: "When the defendant committed the murder he evidently did not realize what he was . doing. He is old and broken ( down in mind and body. The jury when they returned a verdict recommended mercy. Commutation is strongly urged by Judge W. J. Adams, who tried the case, Solicitor George W. Wilson and a large number of other good citizens in many sections of the State." Did you read Bailes & Link's 3 advtrtisernent? THE FORT MI Nr. Henry to Wed.

If you met a nickle laying in your path, would you stoop to pick it. 1 guess you would. How about a penny? There are mighty few people in this town who would not make a quick dive for it. Well, that is exactly what our Cash Coupons are, nickles and pennies, and enough of them make dollars, and they are good as long as we are in business. Of course, they are not good on railroad trains nor for postage stamps, but they are good here. Based or. the present average purchase, every customer who enters our store is entitled to a one-cent cash coupon. Leaving out Soda Fountain and Cigar sales the average customer is entitled possibly to a five-cent cash coupon, and, as has been said, these cash coupons are the same as money in buying, and that's all money is good for. Ask for your coupons when paying for your purchases. Spend them now or save them until you accumulate a goodly sum. Until some special deals are arranged they are good for the purchase of anything in the store. Ardrey's Drug Store, The Majestic WEDNESDAY "THE CURE,"?Broncho. "ADRIFT IN A BIG CITY,"?Thanhouscr.
