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.

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
