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

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

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.

What has he done in a legal
' way? 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.
