Telenhone. local and lon?r distance. No. 112. Entered at the oostoflice at Fort Mill. S. C.. as mill matter of the second clans. THURSDAY. JUNE 3. 1915. If the Congress of the United States is to be called into special session, it should pass legislation to prevent the landing of the hordes of pauper immigrants who are sure to flock to this country at the close of the Eastern war. T" ? We do not wish to be taken as advertising the sale of any particular kind of wire net or screen doors and windows, but we have fio-nrod it out that the cost of one spell of typhoid fever will pay many times the cost of screening the ordinary residence. For the public safety, the city authorities should put an immediate stop to the practice indulged in by some of tearing along the streets on motorcycles at a rate of from 40 to 50 miles an hour. It is a thousand wonders that some of th ? children have not been killed o~ seriously injured by these reckless riders. Then, too, there is litvle justice in keeping the automobile speed limit down u ?2 miles ar? hour and allowing the motorcyclicts to run as fast as they care to. As we see it, there is little reason for the people of this country to consider war between the United States and Germany as a probability. President Wilson knows, as we all know, that were we to enter such a war, the United States would have to assume the offensive and it is doubtful if we could >3ver reach the shores of Germany with our soldiers. Germany doubtless would be glad for Uncle Sam to declare war against her, as such a declaration would give her ample excuse to use her submarine craft in destroying the commerce of this country. But we have a man in Washington whose head remains on the balance, without parting his hair in the middle, and we are not bothering ourselves over the situation. Seventeen-Year Locust. The cicada, commonly known as the seventeen-year locust, is expected to appear in May or June this year in scattered localities covering much of the northern and central States, lying between the Hudson and Mississippi rivers, extending along the Appalachian elevated plateau into northern Georgia and South Carolina. This particular brood made its Inst apnearnnro in thus ferrifnru in 1898, according to a government bulletin. The seventeen-year locust covers in its range nearly ail of the United States from the Mississippi Valley eastward. The curious feature of its regular periodic appearances and its long subterranean life give it perhaps the greatest popular interest which attaches to any insect on thffe continent, and lead to many inquiries with every reappearance of any important brood. L. A. Harris, a local business n?an, spent several days of the past week in Hickory. N. C. ????, , A. Friedheim is Dead. Monday morning about 4:30 o'clock Mr. Arnold Friedheim, Rock Hill's oldest merchant and I one of that city's most respected and beloved citizens died at the i Friedheim home on East Main ! street, after an illness covering several weeks. He was born in Milder, Hanover, Germany, November 17, 11836. As is the custom of his country, he learned a trade?that i of a dyer. He was one of a I family of ten boys and one girl. Mr. Friedheim came to America in 1857. He landed at New York, but went on to Baltimore, where he remained two years. He then went to Salisbury, N. C., where he clerked in a mercantile ! house until the war broke out. He volunteered at once and joined Company K, Fourth North Carolina Regiment. He was noted for his bravery and was twice wouuded ? in the head at Seven Pines, and in the foot at Chancellorsville. Mr. Friedheim went to Rock Hill in 1866 as a representative of a Charlotte firm. In 1868 he began a general mercantile business under his own name. This continued until four or five years later, when he entered into partnership with his brothir, Julius Friedheim, under the firm name of A. Friedheim & Bro. This has continued until the present. Funeral services were held from the late residence of the deceased Tuesday morning and the burial was in the family burial ground adjoining Laurelwood cemetery. Cotton Mill Law Construed. complying with a request for an opinion on the subject, Thomas H. Peeples, attorney general, has prepared the following opinion concerning night work by cotton mill operatives in this State: "Reference to the statute hows that ten hours a day or 60 hours a week shall constitute the hours for working operatives in any manufacturing establishment: \ rovided, That the hours of a single day shall not exceed 11 hours. The term 'a day' as used in the statute, in my opinion, will apply to the 24 hours beginning at midnight and extending until the midnight following. 1 am of the opinion that if the night operative begins work at 12 o'clock midnight and works until 6 o'clock in the n ormng, he may be allowed to begin work again at 12 o'clock noon and perform five hours more of labor; Provided, of course, the entire number of hours for the week will not exceed 60." Sleet Storm of Long Ago. The Anderson Mail publishes a composition written by a young lady many years ago telling of a most disastrous hail storm which occurred in that county more than 50 years ago. The composition follows: "On the night of the 12th of February, 1858, there fell the greatest sleet storm ever known in this county by the oldest inhabitants. A great deal of damage was done to t.he timber. No hurricane has ever destroyed the twentieth part of timber that this storm has. Not one tree in the forest but that did not sustain some injury. The cracking and the popping noise was terrifying. All the fruit trees were destroyed, especially the peach trees. It was remarkable that few animals were killed by the faliing limbs. The ice remained on the trees two ' days, and when the sun shone ' out it looked most beautiful, but it all disappeared in a few hours." Germany a Vast Farm. Germany is said to be one immense truck garden and farm this spring. Not in the entire history of the empire has there I - t ? * ueen sucn a wnoiesaie reversion to agriculture. Within a month an Associated Press correspondent had the opportunity of crossing Germany from the most remote northeastern Prussian frontier to the Swiss boundary in the sou'hwest, and of traveling through almost every section of the country except the southwest. The story without exception was the same. In unprecedented numbers Germans 1 ave turned out. in the cities as well as the country, and have ploughed and planted every available acre, almost every square yard of land, in anticipation of a crop that shall put an end to the rumors that the country can be starved out - Jp GRADED SCHOOL HONOR ROLL.
