Taloohone. local and lonx distance. No. 112. Entered at the postotflce at Fort Mill. S. C.. as m ill matter of the second class. THURSDAY. MARCH 11, 1915. Gentlemen (?) drunkards will not be permitted to send a note ! to the express office for their booze after the gallon-n-mont h law becomes" effective in a fewdays. They will have to march ? up in person and receipt for the liquor. After allowing a force of laborers to erect a line of poles along the streets of the town on Sunday, council should repeal the ordinance prohibiting the sale on the Sabbath of a box of sardines or a nickel's worth of sweet cakes to a hungry man. As a precaution against flies and a preventive of disease, an ordinance recently went into effect in Hartsville requiring all owners of stables within the lim its of the town to clean the stables where horses or cows are kept at least once every week. Fort Mill and other towns of the State would do well to follow Hartsville's lead in this matter. The Yorkville Enquirer in all propriety pays itself a mild compliment upon the quantity and quality of the news it is giving its subscribers. The Enquirer has all along printed considerably more and better news matter than the average semi-weekly and for the last several months has completely shattered its former record for high-class journalism. The man who is not pleased with The Enquirer at $2.00 per year is a freak, indeed. The New Court Bill. Just before adjournment Congress passed, and the president has since signed the bill creating a new federal court in South Carolina. The State has already l\i>nn stiiMrio'l into t ivn Hiatriptfi but heretofore there has been only one set of officers. Under the new bill there will be two sets of officers, and courts will be held at Rock Hill, Chestei and Greenwood in addition to those already establish* d, which are: Charleston. Columbia Florence and Greenville. The State is divided by a line running from Augusta to Columbia, and thence eastward to the North Carolina line. Some Sensible Dog This. A press report from Gaffnev says that J. F. Jamison, living near that city, has a collie dog which is a remarkable animal. His master sends him to the pasture with instructions to bring up only the cows that are giving milk, and Nip will confine himself strictly to those instructions. Then Mr. Jamison will tell him to bring all the cows, and he will come driving them all Xo the barn. In addition to this, when milking is in progress, Nip will seize the calf around the neck with his paws and hold it off while the cow is being milked. The dog it is said also performs many other unusual feats which are helpful about the house and barnyard. Old newspaper* fox sale at The T1 rirsn officii. 'urn.. ?* Much Cotton Burned. Fire at Monroe, N. C., Friday night destroyed the railway cotton platform, containing more than 800 bales of cotton. Freight cars and other nearby property also destroyed brought the loss up to $50.0000. T. W. Allen, a Mecklenburg farmer, lost 53 bales of cotton by tire early Friday morning, on which there was no insurance. The cotton was stored in a tenant house near his home. Twenty-five hundred bales of cotton and a residence were destroyed at Wetumpka, Ala., early Monday, entailing a loss of between $75,000 and $100,000, partially insured. Good for Dead Men. The Mississippi supreme court recently upheld the constitutionality of the May-Mot-Lewis law enacted at the last session of the legislature of that State prohibiting the keeping of intoxicants in social clubs. In its decision the court quoted the following: "Whiskey is a good thing in its place. There is nothing lik? it for preserving a man when Ik is dead. If you want to keep a dead man, put him in whiskey, if you want to kill a live man, put whiskey in him." Kills Six With Shotgun. Armed with an automatic shotgun, Monroe Phillips, a real estate and timber dealer, ran amuck in the business district ol Brunswick Ga., Saturday killed six citizens, wounded 32 and was himself shot dead. The dead are: H. F. Dun woody, a prcminent attorney; VV. M. Hackett, an um'e taker; Rex Beavers, a policeman; W. P. Padgett, a former policeman, and Gunner Talmas, a bank collector. Several of the wounded are prominent citizens of Brunswick. The police believe that Phillips became suddenly insane because of financial troubles. Will Open Dairy. John J. Bailes, who for the past year has been maturing plans for the establishment of a commercial dairy on his farm, recently christened Marjerbel farm, near Fort Mill, will in a few weeks begin actual operation by serving the people daily with milk, cream and butter and expects to dispose of any surplus in Rock Hill, Charlotte and other nearby towns. He will have from 15 to 25 milkers within the next few months and orders have been placed for a AAmnlnf n rl 01 rw* I* ? ?-V -*-? 4 liipiutv. viail J Cl^ Ul |JI1ICI11, auillt' of which is already installed. Mr. Bailes says that he will not plant a single cotton seed on his farm this year. Boy Scouts Alert. The- enthusiasm of the Fort Mill troop of Boy Scouts has not waned during the winter months, when "hikes" were not practicable. Inspired by Scoutmaster Carothers, they have held regular meetings for study and debate on current public questions and the arguments put forward have in many cases shown considerable study and research. An important undertaking which is being successfully carried out is the collection of a library and they now have about 100 volumes, the number being augmented with each meeting. Will Hold York Coort. | Halcott P. Green, of the Co1 lumbia bar, has been named by Governor Manning as special judge for the court of common I pleas and general sessions of York county, beginning the second Monday in April. The appointment was made upon recommendation of Chief Justice Gary i i of the supreme court. Mr. Green i will take the place of Judge | Spain, who is ill. ! E. H.

Hurrah for "Uncle Jack;" he seems to take an optimistic view of the future?and why not, we all should? despite the fact that a wave of pessimism seems to have spread over this community.
