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.

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

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.

that their mysterious confabulations

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.
