Fortunately the tire was 1 checked before reaching this office, but on Wednesday morning j 1^ tie force faced the task of replacing the material and in doing : this it was found that several1' c ises had been overturned and several columns of news matter had been "pied."

The Defeat of Gov. Glynn. All of the newspaper comment we have seen on the subject has condemned the fight that was made on Governor Glynn, of New York, because he i< ? Pnmon r'nthnlir Glvnn it will be recalled, succeeded Governor Sulzer when the latter was ousted from office in 1913. Unwisely the Democratic party recently nominated Glynn for the governorship and he has gone down under an avalanche of ballots the like of which is seldom seen in the country. It is a bad thing to inject religion into American j>olitics, but when it is done it is well to inquiiv whether there are not two sides to the controversy. Wei have no doubt that appeal was wade 10 Koman uatnoiics or | New York to support Glynn be-| eause he was of the faith, just' as Protestants thought it a good thing to vote against him on that! score. Takes Issue With Nr. Blair. Editor Fort Mill Times: Reading the account of an intereiew between a reporter for the Rock Hill Herald and County Demonstration Agent Blair in regard to the people of the hail section in this county, I will say, because I am a resident of said section, that I cannot allow Mr. Blair's statement to go unchallenged. as it will leave those who are not in this section to believe something that is not a fact. Ij have been all over the hail section and have studied the situation well. Will say that where the people planted corn they will mal-e some corn, but lots of it; did not get out of the milk stage! and if we have much wet weather it will spoil. So yon can see if we do make some corn it will be of an inferior grade. We will not make as much corn as we would have made without the hail. Some farmers in my com nuinity told mc that some of the agents told them to work out the hail-riddled cotton stalks and when the fall came we would not know we had a hail storm. I know one man who took this ad-1 vice and he now has neither cot-; ton, corn nor peas. So you see what we would have had now had we heeded this advice. And as for peas making- 20 bushels per acre. 1 asked a man whom I knew to have the best peas in the hail district and he had ?ath-1 ered 00 bushels off 12 acres, and the best piece of hay sown after the hail-did not make but 2,200 pounds. This is not riding along, the road and Baying that he vrill; > ^^7 V four tons to the acre. Neither is this guessing at 20 bushels )f peas per acre. Now, Mr. Editor, the truth and nothing but the truth, is our :otton is a failure. Where I fig- i jred on getting 20 or 25 bales of :otton, I will get about 700 pounds of seed cotton. I will make a very good crop of corn, about 450 or 500 bushels, but I would have done that without the hail, and it would have been so much better. If we save what corn we have made we will be ; compelled to let it stay in the fields until Christmas, for if we gather and house it before that timr? it i? pprtnin tn vtwiil Wp will also make some hay but no more than if the hail had not visited us. Our farmers in the hail district have always diversified their crops. So. Mr. Editor, talk is cheap, but the truth is we are left in bad financial condition. We have nothing to sell to pay our guano, store , and doctor's bills; in fact, not enough money to clothe and shoe our children for the winter. If anyone doubts this statement let hint come over and I will soon convince him. I have not exaggerated in the least, so I cannot see any blessings to be put in our condition. We may recover from this condition but it will take several years to do so. L. L. Campbell, M. 1)., Clover, .Nov. 6. The News of Gold Hill. Correspondence Fort Mill Times. The people of this section are generally well, I think, with the exception of Miss Lucindy Dulin, who has been bed-fast for the last two months or more with rheumatism. The air in the Gold Hill section i3 just saturated with the cry of hard times. Well, we have been on this route for over 80 years and not differently situated from the most of people, yet we must say that the times have been much the same to us, either all bad or all good. It is t rue that money is more scattering and farther between than it has been in a long time, but we have about as much to eat as we ever had at any one time, and, as Smith Green Bud would say, "we have a fine voice for eat mtr," lor an ot which we leei thankful, greenbacks or no greenbacks. We were walking along the streets of Fort Mill one day recently and met up with Mr. *'Coon" Harris and we noticed l * tnar one glass was missing irom his spectacles. VVe asked him if he had been in a wreck and he replied, no, that the times had got so stringent he just had to make one glass at the time do him. Well, Mr. Sylvester Coltharp thinks he has discovered a great leak in the way some families manage their clocks for he says whole families will leave home o. c sionally and leave their clocks running, just ticking away, wearing itself out and no one at home to see what time it is. Such a loss, la me! And fr ?in what we have seen of his cl'?ck of late, we think it is on a v. cation, at lease two-thirds of tin- time, and the whole family at Vme, too. We met up with a preacher on the streets of Fort Mill some time since and after tho imiinl s ilr.lations he asked us about ; the prospects of the rabbit crop 1 in the Gold Hill section. We promised to let him know later i n w hat the chance would be for a supply of meat. Well now, Brother Preachers of Fort Mill, we can't promise you as good a stand of rabbits as our river cousin did two years ago. for if you remember he jumped two hundred to the acre, but Brother Baptist, Presbyterian and Metho .list come lignt along, we will, give you half you catch, provided you deliver my half to me dressed nice and ready for the pot. We claim all the birds, as we have heard hunters remark that there was more fun in shooting them than there was in ' eating them. So just bring us all the birds and you keep all the' fun and remember that we are not much in the chase as form-' erly, but we are a first-class setter and just here we will say that our rabbits are all branded, they have long ears and white tafta. Splinter. | Death From Blood Poison. Mr. John Phillips, a well known farmer of the Upper Belair section of Lancaster county, died at his home last Wednesday of blood poison following an injury to his left leg. Mr. Phillips was using a drawing knife in shaping a wagon tongue, when the knife slipped and cut a deep gash in his leg in which blood -poison soon de- i J ; i/U rtXCZ/T O/ BUS/A/ESS OUR BANK/S l^K t AmMBEROF I ~?<ONF/D?A/C? - Our Bank is a member of I BANKING SYSTEM of the Once a member of this **'. a bank is one of the VA! banks which STAND TOG protection and for the prot Your money is absolutel; can GET IT when you WA ^ Make OUR ban + We pay 4 per cent intere TV. - 1VT_ ine nrsi na * Fort Mill, Disability Bene The life insurance poli Central Life Insurance Cor ITY CLAUSE whereby the paid to^the policyholder if and peimanently disabled 1 ease.
