All Must Register.
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.

Nr. Peeples Explains.
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

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

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.
