Have you obtained a registration certificate to vote in the municipal election to be held in Fort Mill early next month? If so, you are one of the very few voters of the town who have done so. Up to the present time less than 30 voters have j applied to the registrar for certificates, and the time draws near for the closing of the books, i The slow registration seems due principally to the belief with many voters that the certificates taken out for the mayor's election last September will entitle them to vote in the general municipal election next month. : This is not the case. The certificates issued for the special j election last September were for I use in that election only and are ; worthless for the approaching! election. The renuiremerit tr> register is the presentation of a county registration certificate and tax receipt, the latter for the year 1914 being acceptable. The registration hooks close on January 1, 191(>. Working Together. Many of the largest chambers of commerce and board of trades that had for years confined their efforts to city affairs have of late years reorganized or have established departments for the purpose of cooperating with the people.on the farms near by. A few years ago these organizations would have scouted the idea that there was a fieid in which merchants and farmers might profitably work together for the upbuilding of the community. Now, however, the merchant, who often is in fact a farmer, also is as much interested in improving farm crops and farming methods as is the farmer himself. Intelligent citizens of all classes have begun to see that, while a large field must be left free for the exercise of individual initia. tive and enterprise, there are a great many things that must be done by the community as a whole. There may be some selfishness in the merchants' | wanting the farmers to raise! bigger crops, but the farmers are nevertheless the biggest gainers by the improvement. The example that merchants; have set in helping the farmers to better themselves might well be followed by the farmers in helnincr the merehnnts tr? themselves. They can do this most directly by buying at home everything they can, and if they can not buy the goods, quality or class of goods they want they can best help their community by making their complaints to the merchants themselves. It certainly is a doubtful expedient to send away from home for an article the merchant doesn't carry without first letting him know that he has not stocked I goods for which there is a de-1 rnand in his community.

I notice in your issue of the 28th inst., under Greenville date line of November 27 in news item in regard to my opinion of the 19th inst., the following: "The decision of the attorney general is to the effect that the law is violated when a laborer's machine operates more than the legal ten hours in the 24 of the day." In reply to this paragraph, I will say that the opinion referred to says no such thing and is not to that effect. As far as the law is concerned, the mills may run their machinery the entire 24 hours of the day, but in so running their machinerv it is unlawful for anv one laborer to work more than ten hours per day or 60 hours week, and no hours of a single day shall exceed 11 hours.?The State. War Hero Buried in York. Following the production in this section of what is now a picture known all over the United States, dramatized from Dixon's "Clansman," people of York have made the discovery that the "little colonel" a famous figure in both the novel and photoplay, is buried in Rose Hill cemetery in York. This information has been obtained from a York woman, who secured it by writing to the author of "The Clansman." The "little colonel" in this famous play was Col. William McAfee, a native of Shelby, N. C., and a colonel of the 2bth North Carolina regiment. He was married to a woman of Fairfield county, this State, and made his home here, being one of the prominent organizers of the Ku Klux Klan. His second wife was living in Georgia at the time of her marriage but was originally from York. Only a slab erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy marks his grave and it is said a movement will be launched to erect a monument. - York special to The State. Hog-Killing Time at Hand. The arrival of early winter makes preparations for hog killing in order and the death rate among South Carolina porkers may be expected to increase amazingly from now on. Clem- j son college experts advise to kill hogs on a clear, cold day. The carcass must cool quickly and if the day is somewhat warm, the' butchering should be done in the afternoon, as it is usually colder at night. Bleeding should be rapid and complete. As soon as the hog is dead it should be scalded and scraped and the internal organs removed. Keeping the hog in hot water (about 150 deurrees temDerature) for some tiling more than a minute should make the hair loosen and slip easily. Hang up the carcass and wash it with clean cold water. Remove the internal organs as1 soon as the hair has been completely taken off. Spread the carcass wide open, wash it out clean and hang it in a cool place till the next morning. Two 12inch sticks inserted crosswise in the opening will help to keep the carcass open and let it cool out more quickly. The News of Gold Hill. Times Correspondence. A serious accident occurred Monday which almost resulted in some fatalities when an automobile collided with a wagon driven by Messrs. Edd Bailes 1 c? o \ij:i 1? auu o. x . vviiaun. it cippi'ahs that the car was running in "low" when the mishap took place but the warning signal, by the driver, was not given therefore allowing the above gentlemen no time to pull to one side. Neither party saw the other, due to a large embankment and a steep hill, until the automobile was driven under one mule throwing it to the ground. Beside a few bruises to this animal no other damage was done. The many friends of Hon. S. H. Epps, Sr., are glad to learn that he is considerably better. Mr. Epps has been sick for nearly a year. There will be an oyster and hot supper combined at Gold Hill academy Friday evening, December 10, beginning at 4 o'clock and lasting until 10 o'clock. Hyperion. Gold Hill, Dec. 7. ' FOR SALE. WANTED.
