Club Meetings Important.
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.

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.

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.

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 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.
