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

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

Hail Storm Nay Prove Blessing.
"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.

To Counteract Tannin in Tea.
One of the marked characters of
tea is the tannin contained in it.
Indian tea lias about twice as much
as the Chinese growth. it hr s a
marked effect on the digestion, even
in the presence of other ftuidt. In
all cases it retnids the digestive process
to an extent that would astonish
those who have not inquired into the
matter; and it has been recommended
that a pinch of bi carbonate 01 soda
should be added to the brow cf per:
sons with weak dictations so as to
make the infusion alkaline.
