No. 112. Entered at the postoltlce at Fort Mill. R. C.. as mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY. NOV. 5. 191*. The prediction has been made i and we think time will see it fufilled?that the work of the extraordinary session of the J General Assembly marks the beginning of the end of the political career of a number of the members who were I prominent in trying: to encumber the State with the twenty-four million dollar bond issue. It isn't worth while to say more of the proposition than that it was a piece of legislation freighted with danger which for a generation or more would have proved a burden to all our people, since the proposition is dead beyond resurrection; but it is worth while to direct the attention of the voters of this section to the fact that one of? we might in truth say the chief? proponents of the scheme was Uepretentative W. P. Stevenson, of Cheraw. In the primary last August Mr. Stevenson was a candidate for Congress from this (the Fifth) district, and he promises to again make the race two years hence. The voters ought to be able to find considerable food for thought in Mr. Stevenson's attitude on the ihii 111 ifssut* proposition ana to decide therefrom whether he would make a safe Congressman. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that he seems to have lost the friendship of the Lancaster News, which observes that " 'Seaboard Rill' wants to saddle a bonded debt of $24,000,000 on the taxpayers. We can 1 safely assert that the Chester- j field statesman would not let out his own money on any such ^ proposition." It is interesting to the news-; paper man, as he reads his exchanges, to see how sharp the!i competition is for new manu- j facturing industries. Cit es ( from far and near tumble over 1 each other with special induce- : ments the tnoment they hear ( that any concern contemplates a move. Our town should be active in this game, difficult as it : is. Meanwhile the fact is worth ] attention, that many a town j while campaigning earnestly for | distant concerns, is neglecting:' chances that originate at home. I There are young men in this: place as there are everywhere,,' who would he perfectly compe- : tent to manage a business propo- 1 sition. if they had capital. They : would like to start a new industry here. Meanwhile money , is beiny: sent away, because our people don't know of hopeful ; chances to invest at home. The \ concern from a distance that may i he attracted by special induce- 1 ments, may or may not stay when the inducements expire. * The concern hacked by home " enterprise and capital is rooted \ in home soil. To many people, the distant investment looks - more attractive. But it might ' not seem so, if examined on the i spot. Money invested at home : is under close inspection, which i should prevent lasses. Where- ' fore, when our young men want ] a little capital to start a new!" enterprise, their claims should < have the most fareful con- < aideration j I V * 'I One of the things which the town council of Fort Mill might do that would help some in the way of improving sanitary con-1 ditions is the passing of an i ordinance prohibiting spitting on Main street. The habit is dirty, I vulgar and disgusting. I It is a show of almost criminal carelessness as well as being a habit that is detrimental to the health of every person who walks the street. When-this spittle dries, no matter whether the person was diseased or not, the germs arise and are breathed by other people and they stand an almost certain chance of some infection. Our people should think of this thing, and by their own example do their best to see that this inexcusable practice is stopped. Tuesday's Election. In the face of returns from Tuesday's election throughout the country it is declared that the Republicans can not pet control of either the house or the senate from the Democrats, although the Democratic majority in the house will be greatly reduced, said a Washington dispatch of Wednesday. The senate will be safely Democratic, it now appearing as if they stand a good chance of gaining three members in the unner house. Three of the six States which voted on the whiskey question, decided to retain barrooms. These were Ohio, California and Washington. Arizona. Colorado and Oregon, on incomplete returns, show slight leads against the barrooms. Rock Hill Joins Scoot Movement. Following the lead set by Fort Mill, Yorkville and Clover. Rock Hill boys, between the ages of twelve and eighteen, have become interested in the Boy Scout movement, and on Thursday night organization of troop No. 1, was effected. There are eighteen members of the troop and under the leadership of Scout Master Blanton and H. R. Tucker, Community Y. M. C. A. secretary, the Scouts have been working in a manner that proves they mean business. With the organization of the Rock Hill Scouts, there are now four comi ? TL ? I 1 ><iiiico III III*: luumjr.

"I believe that the hailstorm will prove a blessing in disguise to the farmers of York county. It has taught them the benefits of diversification," said J. R. Blair, county agricultural agent fnr V/irb PAIintu Mr?r?rlnt? v.. iuiiv WUHI.T, umiiua;, as lie ! explained to a Hock Hill Record reporter the excellent exhibit which has been sent to the State t fair. The exhibit has been prepared by Mr. Blair and A. A. McKeown. agricultural agent for the Rock Hill Chamber of Commerce. Mr. McKeown was for' 3c?me time manager of the Fair-i field farm in Richland county. A big section of York county was practtcallv devastated by a severe hailstorm July t>. Prac-! tically every farm crop in the section was destroyed. The1 farmers were in a serious plight. However, they went tct work and with the expert advice of Mr. McKeown and Mr. Blair have | succeeded well. The farmers planted corn, potatoes, cow peas, i millet and sorghum and they have made fairly good crops. "They have plenty of corn in | tne devastated section," said Mr. Blair yesterday, "and some of the farmers will make from 26 to .TO bushels per acre, des-1 pite the fact that it was planted 1 after duly 6." The farmers in the district damaged by the I storm will make from two to four tons of hay to the acre, j according to Mr. Blair. They will make about 20 bushels of peas to the acre. fOR SALE 2 ft Oak and Hickory Wood at fft.fiO single cord. $l.2f? for > cord Ma. OSMOND HAKBKK Wateioak Farm J * To Counteract Tannin in Tea.
