Telephone, loenl and lontr distance. No. 112. THURSDAY. JULY 30. 1914. Fort Mill?4*A Better Town." Editor Timos: The writer of this, whatever you may choose to call it. has been visiting in Fort Mill for some time, and, he, she or it. has been favorably impressed with the progress of the town. Now. changing from the third to the first person, I do not wonder why the slogan. "Fort Mill, A Better Town," has been adopted. With paved streets, electric lights and other improvements coming, among which is the waterworks plant, the slogan is bv no means a misused one. The stores are attractive and carry a good line in every department. Despite the drought of the early summer, the crops are good. The town has a live government. Her citizenry is second to none. In short, Fort Mill is the kind of town that makes one feel like calling it "my town" and this spirit has manifested itself strong in the writer. Here's luck to the "better town." May she continue to grow and prosper as she has done and is doing! Watch Fort Mill forge to the front. Unexcelled in the business, social and all other fields, "the better town" will be heard from. Guess Who? War on Vast Scale. The declaration of war seni to Servia Tuesday by the AustroHungarian government seems to foreshadow a general con diet that will involve all tin4 countries on the continent of Kurope in the flames of war. What amount of misery and suffering such a war will cause God in His Omniseeu.ce alone can estimate, but it is possible that it may exceed the horrors of am preceding conflict in ancient or modern history. The great nations of Russia, Germany, France, England and others that may he involved, with their modern armaments and hitherto undreamed of death-dealing machines and munitions of destiuc\ tion indicate a possible conflict that will devastate cities and exterminate peoples wholesale. it seems incredible that such a v ar should he possible in this enlightened Christian age, hut we nevertheless set m to he face to face with such a catastrophe.

Abolition of imprisonment for desertion from the Navy in ! times of peace was ordered Sun- 1 day by Secretary Daniels. Bluejackets who now overstay their 5 leave or commit similar breaches ? of discipline will be dismissed < summarily instead of being sent to prison, while men who be come dissatisfied and want to quit may have an honorable discharge by merely refunding cer- 1 tain enlistment allowances. < This radical reform has been 1 under consideration by the ] Secretary since.he went into 1 into office. He announced Sun- 5 day that the navy now had practically a full quota, 51,348 enlisted men ?compared with a ^ shortage of more than 4,000 18 1 months ago and that the time 1 to take the step had come. < For Relief of Storm Sufferers. C. L. Cobb this (Friday) morn- , ,ing received a letter from Com- ] missioner Watson to the effect that he would, accompanied by J .J. Whitner Reid, secretary, and , Mr. Harris, former president of the State Farmers' Union, visit the section damaged by the storm next week. The party expects to arrive here on July 29 and spend the day going over as much damaged territory as possible in order to gather some definite information on the subject. The gentlemen will then advise with the relief committee as to how assistance can best be i rendered. On July 30, at 2 o'clock Com- i missioner Watson will deliver an address before the Bethel Improvement Association at Bethel church, the invitation having been extended by Dr. Dulin, president of the association. It is expected thaf a large number ] of farmers of the Bethel section will be present. Rock Hill Herald. J _ i < Died From Knife Wound. Henry Long, a 20-year old t hoy, employed by the Fort Mill f Manufacturing company, died in a Rock Hill hospital Friday morning as the result of a knife wound indicted about three weeks ago by Marshall Sanders, another employe of the mill. It seems that in play Sanders threw ins knife at Long and inflicted a wound in his leg which was not considered serious and the wound was treated by local physicians. Complications arose and the boy was sent to the hospital where it was found necessary to amputate the member in an effort to j save lite but this failed of its I purpose. John Long, the boy's father, lives in Kock Hill. Sanders pave himself up to Magis- ! tr..te It. P. Harris for such course as is required. Our Gold Hill Letter. Times Correspondence.

Pre*i 1 II . .1111M oo< NOT WISE TO ' i TAKE CALOMEL Dpdson's Liver Tone is just as sure in results and always safe, pleasant in taste and has no bad after-effects. As a remedy for a torpid liver calomel has more than met its match in Dodson's Liver Tone. This medicine does not roughly force the liver on-to penorm its work. It acts gently but surely. Calomel depends for its power upon exciting the liver to do more work, and often the liver is too weak to stand such treatment, and after taking calomel you are as a result sometimes worse off than before. Dodson's Liver Tone cannot cause any of the dangerous effects that often follow the use of calomel. It is entirely vegetable and pleasant to the taste, and is suitable for children and grown people. Get a large bottle for fifty cents at Ardrey's Drug store under the guarantee that if it doesn't satisfy you that it perfectly takes the place of calomel you will be given your money back with a smile right at the store where you bought Dodson's medicine.
