No. 112. Entered at the postoflice at Fort Mill. S. C.. as mail matter of the second class. THURSDAY. JULY 2. 1914. If the city authorities of Fort Mill have any say in the matter of where and how new streets of the town shall be laid off. they should put a clincher on the proposed extension of Main street, as planned. A worse misfit than where the proposed new street will connect with Main street is beyond our imagination. It seems little short of crime to butcher a town up in such a fashion. We do not know that County Coroner Black will stand for reappointment to the oHiee which lie now holds, but. in case he should, we feel reasonably sure that he will find it convenient before election day to explain to the 400 or more Fort Mill voters why he found it advisable to vbring a physician from Hock Hill Thursday to make the post mortem examination into the cause of the death of the stranger whose body was found alongside the railroad tracks near Grattan. The Bamberg Herald is one South Carolina paper which has a kind word for Adjutant Genet ai Moore. The Herald taink: taut "he has labored lailluull.s to ouild up the indiiia 01 Uu KlalP " (luito !l Pinnlini' i-tl militia officers are on recotd as claiming that, on the contiary, lie has done more to disorganize tne militia than any adjutant general the State has had in a long time. The Times does not undertake to express expert opinion on his conduct as adjutant general, but it is a fact that the militia is not what it should be Whether Gen. Moore is to I lame for this condition, will be decided iti the August primaries. i We would hesitate to say that the daily papers of the Stale do not mean to be fair and impartial in their reports of the campaign meetings for State officers, but we do believe that they leave puite a good deal for the imagination of their readers. For instance. a man whose word is as good as anybody's, is authority for the statement that at most of the meetings thus far held there was no mistaking the friendliness of t ho audiences for .lohn G. Richards. We are not particularly interested in the campaign of Mr. Richards, but lie is entitled to fair treatment at the hands of the press. If a majority of the voters at any meeting evidence more interest in what he says than 111 what is said by any other candidate, why not be frank enough to admit it? Of one thing we are certain: South Carolina does not need a dreamer for Governor. All this talk about compulsory school attendance should be frowned upon by the voters. The State is not yet prepared for such an advanced step. The matter of adequate school buildings and a sufficient number of qualified teachers to instruct the children should l>e the first consideration along this line. To talk of compulsory school attendance in v-'-r . v >$n jrasKjw s? ft advance of proper facilities for teaching the children is impractical?it's putting the cart before the horse. Besides there is the matter of white property owners being unreasonably taxed to provide for educational accommodations for a race that should at least bear the greater part of the cost of educating its offspring. Independence Day carries us backward to the time when America became the scene of a bloody conflict. The *'tiger ftfrifo" ivifVi fV?o ro/1 mnn inoe wt tt a vii vuv a vv? man ??ao scarcely passed when the gauge of battle was thrown down before the British army in the streets of Boston. Then followed the disastrous riot eleven days afterward and the destruction of tea in Boston harbor and then in succession the battles of Lexington and Bunker's Hill. Over the grave of the ! first victim was opened a mighty chapter in the world's history. ! One cannot read the graphic j descriptions on these events in history without the stirring of his patriotic spirit and it may be commended as a wholesome exercise to read the opening chapters as a preparation for the proper observance of the Fourth of July. The Southern Railway's bridge force has been busy for the last ten days erecting a new bridge in Clebourn street. The street has been closed during the work, but the work was completed on Tuesday and the street is again open to traffic. And tna Lie .....v, .

He was asked by the representatives of the Farmers Unj ion to make the argument for the Warehouse bill before the ' Supreme court. The question was of prime importance to the farmers, because if the State could build warehouses and the i farmers could store their cotton in them and get a receipt on which the money could he gotten land the rates were low. it would enable the farmers to hold their cotton in time of panic until the price should rise. He is a lawyer who believes constitutions to he practical and took the position before the court that the State had the : power to relieve and protect its I citizens from financial oppression. just as it would have the [ right to protect them from military oppression. The Court a1 greed with him and practically adopted his brief, but held that two unnecessary provisions in t lit1 llili itl nf < Vi fx constitution, and the bill would have to be so drawn as to leave them out to be effective. Hut THE RIGHT OF THE STATE TO WAREHOUSE ITS FARMERS' COTTON WAS ESTABi EISHED in this case; and whenever they make up their minds to have it done it can be done. He did this work purely for the good of the cause, without fee or reward. If he was in Congress wouldn't ho be on the same side, lighting the cotton speculation in New York? Give < him a chance and if he doesn't measure up throw him out. Watch this column. | Thursday's Program. iThe Majestic "Out of the Shadows," Aii exceptionally good tworeel Broncho feature.
