Elsewhere in this issue of The Times will be seen notice of a call by the chairman of the County Democratic Executive r*ev*vasaai4-f/\a -Pa?? tVvn Kionniol ro_ VjUIIIlllltlCC 1V1 liic uiviiuiui A v.organization of the township clubs. To those who are interested in the welfare of the party the call should not go unheeded; there ought to be a general outturn of the membership of every club in the county. It is in the club meetings where the machinery for the conduct of the party campaigns is put in | motion and there in no small degree the policy of the party for the succeeding two years is outlined. This year there has been set on foot an effort to abolish the county to county campaign of the candidates for State offices, and it is not unlikely that the proposition will be brought to the fore in the club meetings; if not there, almost certainly it will be taken up in the county convention. A ci t*/vf ti'n V-*ni*n coon nr\ rrAn/1 I no ty ci nave; own nu ^wu i reason advanced why the people j should be deprived of the privilege they have long enjoyed of hearing the men they are invited to vote for explain their ideas of government and the policies they purpose to pursue if elected. All this talk of the State campaign meeting appealing to the interest of the people because of the allegation that they enjoy a wrangling match, is the veriest nonsense. We think we can give a better reason why certain newspapers would abolish the campaign meetings: There would be money in it for them by the sale of advertising space and it would be a long step toward newspaper government, which certain editors in South Carolina seem to think the only kind of decent government for the commonwealth; in other words, the people are in need of a handful of proxies on election day, and those proxies should be this same section of the press. If the county to county campaign is abolished we ought to change the name of our party; the word Democratic, spelled either with a capital D or asmall d, would no longer fit it. Twelve of the nineteen dry cf frvo hr> i t 1 1 ota tco jxcivc Jctwa ^[umuiun^ an liquor advertising: within their; borders. The Abercrombie bill now before Congress would prohibit transportation through the mails of publications containing liquor advertisements into these states. The United States government has prohibited the placing of liquor advertising calendars in federal buildings. Nearly IKH) daily ne-vspapers of the country have publicly announced a non-liquor advertising policy, and in this state only one daily paper that we know of will accept such advertising. Practically all of the South Carolina weeklies have refused to print it. The Times wishes to add its endorsement to the movement to i organize a cornet band in the; town. There is perhaps no more pleasant pastime for both, musician and hearer than making ar.d listening to good music, and there are occasions each year in this town when a good band would add greatly to the life of the community It is also an excellent advertisement for any town to have a band which, upon invitation. , can visit tne neighboring communities and furnish acceptable music. We hope that the hand will be organized. The Columbia Record says that The Times has a mistaken idea as to Richland being the poorest county in the state, but The Record does not name the county which is poorer. We take it, however, that Wm Banks knows. : what he is talking about. im In case of the establishment of Catawba county, with a new $100,000 court house and a $2T>,- ( 000 .ail in Rock Hill, we feel , that Fort Mill, the next largest j towr in the new county, should ] at least have the county home ( and farm. This institution if located in the immediate vicinity of Rock Hill, would perhaps cost $20,000 or $25,000, while if located in Fort Mill township it probably would cost not more than half this amount. According to figures made public by the war department, during the first five days after President Wilson's authorization of a 20,000 army increase, 2,426 applications were received. Of these only 555 were accepted.

Will Appoint Commission. Gov. R. I. Manning will appoint a commission to investigate the matter of forming a new : county out of parts of York, j | Chester and Fairfield counties. ! Opposition to the appointment ! of the commission was expressed at a hearing held several days ago before the governor when | several hundred citizens from the three counties were present, I most of them urging that the commission be created. It is understood that action will be brought in the supreme i court to test the constitutionality of the act aimed at ill shaped counties. Advocates of the new; county, to be known as Catawba, told the governor at the hearing : that he would not be asked for1 an election order until the j petition was accomplished by a decision of the supreme court on , the ill shaped county act, which j was passed by the general as- j, sembly in 1912. The governor has issued the! following statement: "Petitions in the matter of . appointing a commission to investigate as to whether or not the requirements of the con- , stitntion and statutes have been I met i:i the matter of ordering an election on the question of the establishment of the proposed new county of Catawba came before me, and on request I of certain citizens representing those opposed to the formation j of the proposed new county, a !' hearing was held in Columbia! on Monday, April 10, 1916. j After argument by counsel representing the interested parties, L both proponents and opponents I and a consideration of the constitutional and statutory law covering the subject, it is my opinion that commissioners should be appointed in accord-j < anco with section 636, volume 1, civil code of 1912. "Article 7 of the State Consti- j tution 1895, provides a method under which new counties may be formed or established. Section 636 above referred to makes it the duty of the governor, be-1, fore ordering an election, to: i refer the petition to a commission for investigation as to whether or not the require-, ] inents of the constitution have I been complied with. "The duties of th is cnmmi<. I ' sion are clearly defined in the statutes, and no election can be ordered until the governor < is satisfied from their report ^ that the requirements of the j constitution and statutes have been complied with. "It. is my judgment that a commission should be appointed and ; I shall appoint same as provided bylaw." j The News of Gold Hill. ^ Timoa Correspondence. j j Mrs. Maye Coltharp Epps, 01 $ Darlington county, is visiting i relatives here. i The doctors are preparing to ; * send Mr. Sam'l Boyd to the i1 state hospital at Columbia. |!

Well, we didn't \ know which to do, rejoice or I sympathize with him, but later we heard that he had live dogs still on hand and we thought * that was a plenty for seed, so we N considered the proper tiling for I ^ us to do would be to sympathize * with him. which we do most t heartily. Splinter. Gold Hill, April 17. THE FORT M Will Organize Band. Several well known musicians the town have launched a campaign for a cornet band and it is believed that a sufficient number of young: men wiil join the movement to insure a permanent organization of at least twenty pieces. Already there are about a dozen young men in Fort Mill who own instruments and several of these are quite adept at playing them. Mr. C. T. Crook, former master of the Gold Hill band and a teacher of wide experience, has agreed to teach the members of the new band and under his tutorship the band should be able to render some excellent music witmn a snore time. Petitions for signatures of those who wish to join the band have been circulated and at last accounts about thirty names had been enrolled. Cotton was bringing 113-4 on this market yesterday.
