In recent years a number of new counties have been formed in South Carolina and, so far as our information goes, in each case the people, by and large, have been benefitted thereby. In isolated instances hardships doubtless have come to indi viduals by the establishment of these new units of government, but in setting up new counties, . as in other matters of legislation, the thing to be considered is the greatest good to the greatest number. If the proponents of the new county are successful in convincing two-thirds of the voters of the territory it is proposed to include therein that it is to their interest to sever relations with the old counties, Catawba county will be formed ?provided, of course, that the issue reaches the ballot box. It is the history of such enterprises in this State that once the people are determined to set up a new county, there is no stopping them, if they can comply with the requirements of the constitution and the statutes. In the case of "Catawba" county, there is no gainsaying that a determined effort is on foot to push the project through , to success. ??????If there is to be a new county in this section of the state which will include Fort Mill township. a-U : : A.~ 1.1 _ tins paper insists on me name "Catawba" for it. There is every reason for naming the county "Catawba" and not one against it. If South Carolina has failed in its duty to AndrewJackson by neglecting to name 1 a county for him. we suggest ' that the voters of Richland '< county adopt "Jackson" as the name of their county. "Rich- j land" county is misnamed?it is i one of the poorest counties in the 1 state. '* I' Senator Lewis' epigram -that 1 Roosevelt will fight anybody, 1 nriwvhprp tiKrvnf Qnirf on/1 I ^ .. ""VUV U..J <?"tl that Col. Bryan will fight no- ( body, nowhere, about nothing < has a jingling sound that is apt 1 to cause it to be remembered, y but that is about all that can be 1 said for it. It lacks accuracy. * Roosevelt is a great braggart I and blusterer, to be sure, and is , t always ready for a fight? pro- ' vided somebody else does the t fighting. Pay by Check. !; A business farmer should pay for everything by check as all other business men do. says the Progressive Farmer. Many a farmer carries more money in his pocket than a city business c man who has a hundred thous- I and dollars. Here are three reasons why farm business men as well as town business men should deal with banks and pav ! * everything by check. (1) Carrying money on your person is unsafe. Your money and possibly your life is en- * dangered by this wilful invitation to robbery and theft. (2) When you pay by check / you get the cancelled check back s and a receipt for every single 1 item you have paid. There is ' no chance of having to pay an account twice, your check being ( the proof and the receipt. ! (3) When you deposit in the s bank every cent you receive from the sale of your product, i * and then draw it out by check, you aie establishing a credit with the bank. 'Ihc man who has a balai ce v ith the bank on his checking account most of the year, will have no trouble in borrowing a couple ot hundred dollars to carry him over a tight' place. Not a Rock Hill Scheme. Commenting on what The Times had to say the last week about the wording of a picture slide I shown in Kock Hill, the Evening Herald, of that city, Friday had this to say: "It is natural that an enter- j prising business man should take ' advantage of the opportunity to boost his home town and the new county at the same time. The two must progress together. If the new county is secured theI entire county will benefit from the growth of Rock Hill. It is not expected that many will take i.L : ' ' me view aDove quoted that the new county idea is simply to boost Rock Hill, because this is not the case. On the other hand, if Rock Hill people did not believe it would be to their advantage to he in a new county they would be against the proposition. Ar.d if it was not believed the new county would prove beneficial for the people in all sections of the new county, how many of them would favor a charge. No, sir, this is no Rock Hill boosting scheme. If the new county benefits Rock Hi", it will likewise benefit Fort Mill, as well as other sections involved." "Catawba" is Best. Some one has started an argument about a name for the new county proposed with Rock Hill as the probable county seat. The name now popularly mentioned is "Catawba." Some have suggested the name Jackson, in honor of President Andrew Jackson who was born in that vicinity. We believe it would be proper for some county in South Carolina to bear the name of Andrew Jackson, but after all ?why not "Catawba?" The name should serve to recall the race of friendly red men who were allies to the white man when he was snuggling against me uneroKees and other warlike "nations." In all the years the Catawbas were friendly. They made excellent soldiers in the Confederate army. The greatest temperance address ever written was penned by King Haigler of the Catawbas. There is every reason to perpetuate in honor the traditions of a noble race row dwindled, sadly dwindled.? Columbia Record. To Come Up in July. During the term of York court to convene next July, the following case of local interest will be called for trial: Jar vis P. Starnes of Fort Mill, a boy now about 18 years of age, has entered suit in York county for #30,000 against the Southern Power Company and Lancaster Cotton Mills. This case is! similar to the case of Hayes j _ ; o a i r\ * ' against ooutnern rower la. and Manchester Cotton Mills, tried in this county several years ago, in which Hayes recovered a verdict for $8,300 for the loss of i hand, the little fellow having jut his hand on a live electric wire through an open window in ;he transformer house, at the lotton mills. In the Starnesj ^aoe the plaintill" alleges that he intered "an old boiler room" hat had been recently installed vith electrical appliances, and hat he touched a live wire, and tad both of his hands practically turned off. It is alleged that he room was negligently slowed to remain open, and that he enildren of that neighbor-' tootl used this room as a pla> . touse, with the knowledge and oiiseitt ol the defendants.

Wagner, assistant superintendent of the Millfort Mill, says: "For nearly 15 years I carried $1,000 life insurance in one of the fraternal orders at a cost of $16.56 per year. A short while ago I r* ceived notice that hereafter my premium woud be $28.32 per year. 1 declined to pay it and have taken a policy in the Union Central Life in which I find that my net premium at the end of the first year will be, $27.25 for $1,000 not including premium for disability benefits. 1 I find that if I had taken a policy in the Union Central at the time I took the fraternal policy, my last premium \v< uld have been $14.80 and the policy would now have a cash value of $158.00 if I decided to drop it. In the ease of the fraternal policy. 11 have nothing to show for all the years of payment while my advanced age makes n v premium in the old line company cost me $12.20 per $1,000 more than it would have cost me 15 years ago, I have been stung, all right."
