against the sale of whiskev. and
it is expected that the officials
will have the hearty cooperation
of the citizens in enforcing- the
law.
No form of development, that
has taken place in this countv
is so marked or worthv of notice
as the improvement that is being
made in the class of farm homes.
Only a few years ago. one conld
drive for manv miles over the
public roads of York countv. and
see but an occasional good farm
house, where the premises were
in keeping with the value of the
farm or the occupant of the
farm. Most of the farm buildings
were shacks, of various
qualities and structures, but few
costing more than a small pittance.
Of recent vears. bowever,
the owners of the farms,
have come to realize that farm
life is made more enjoyable and
pleasant by a good home,
whether for the land owner or
the tenant, and new houses are
being erected that are a credit
to the country, and will add
materially to the impression
made on visitors to our section,
who live in States where the
good farm home is the rule.
According to the Yorkville
Enquirer, the inability of those

i^tir in v <n m]ni?i1uj uuiaui ir?t*ir
whiskey from the express office
at Cfover is not because the express
people will not deliver the
jrood^, but because the sheriff of
Gaston county stands ready to
seize any package that is brought
across the line. Now. if the
sheriff of Gaston county lias the
authority to seize these packages,
has not the sheriff of Mecklenburg
county the .same authority,
and if so why does that official
continue to allow the transportation
of whiskey by the auto
load /rom Fort Mill across the
State fine into Charlotte?
It is noticed that the newspapers
of the State at this time
carry many notices of sheriff's
sales of real and personal prop

THURSDAY. DECEMBER HO. 1915.
The Great Drouprht is almost
upon us. It will strike South
Carolina broad-sided tomorrow
nifrht at the hour of 12, and
everybody in this section appears
to be p-Iad of it. For some
time the dispensaries in the
several counties of the Stat?
have been "moving heaven and
earth" to tret, rid of the larsre
stocks of booze on band, and
dispensers and clerks have been
arranging- to enter otber fields
for a livelihood. Cities like
Columbia and Charleston which
have been dependent to a large
degree upon the dispensary
revenue are likewise forced to
look elsewhere for funds to run
the public business. Manv o*
the towns doubtless will take up
the plan of levying a special or
"privilege" tax upon the mercantile
or other interests to meet
the deficit. Officers in the
counties where dispensaries have
been operated are not exnectine
any great, difficulty in enforcing
the prohibition law. Public
sentiment in South Carolina is
erty under mortgage foreclosures
and, along this line, it is quite
pleasing to note that not a single
sheriff's sale of Fo"t Mill property
is being advertised in the papers
of this county at present.

Winter is the best season for
fence building and repairing on
the farm, for more than one
reason, and the wise farmer will
set aside some time during this
month or next fcr doing such
work of this kind as is needed.
It is our oppinion, sorry to say,
that Henry Ford can stay at

and return to Europe

ctnu x reauyienan cnurcnes in
honor of the Rev. W. A. Hafner
the Presbyterian church was
crowded to its capacity. Mr. A.
0. Jones presided over the service.
Appreciation of Mr. Hafner's
services and personality
was expressed by W. M. Carothers
on behalf of the Presbyterian
Sunday school and the locai troop
of Boy Scouts; by James D. Fulp,
superintendent of the public
schools, on behaif of the young
people of the town and community;
by J. A. Boyd on behalf of
the session anu oLuer uliicers of
the church. The concluding addresses
were made by Rev. E. Z.
James, pastor of the Methodist
church, and Rev. S. P. Hair,
pastor of the Baptist church, to
which Mr. Hafner made reply,
expressing his appreciation of
the mark of esteem indicated by
the joint meeting.
Supper Date Changed.
On account of the date set for
the W. O. W. banquet in the
town hall conflicting with the
date of the annual inspection of
the local military organization,
the banquet will be held on Wednesday
evening-, January 12th,
instead of the 13th, as originally
set. The military inspection is
to be held the morning of the
14th, and as some little time is
required to prepare the hall for
the inspection, it was found
necessary to advance the date
of the supper one day.
Gave Orphanage $1,000.
Fort Mill acquaintances of the
:ate Mrs. Pattie Hague, of Morganton,
N. C., will be interested
in the announcement that Thornwell
Orphanage, Clinton, has received
a bequest of $1,000 from
her estate. Mrs. Hague was
before marriage Miss Pattie
rhornwell, a sister of the late
Dr. J. H. Thornwell of Fort
Mill. She was a frequent
visitor in the home of Dr. Thornwell
and was very well known
here.
Mrs. Hague was a teacher in
the Thornwell orphanage during
its first five or six years. During
the years intervening between
her husband's death and her
own she made her home with a
sister, Mrs. Jennie Anderson, in
Morganton, N. C.
