Editor The Times: By some slip in the liquor law of this State the people of our neighborins: State. North Carolina, are permitted to come down and take advantage of the "gallon-amonth" law, along with the good old buds of this State who like their corn juice. Of course thore is no serious objection to a lawnhiHintr rit.i7.pn from nvpr thp line coming down for an extra gallon once in a while, in addition to his quart every two weeks that he is able to get in his own State. But there is a serious side to this question. For some time the negroes just across the line have been "toting" liquor across to the extent that they have become a nuisance to the people along the road. Some time ago a black rascal, in company with some otner negroes on wheels, imbued with "fire-water" he had secured at the Fort Mill express office and carrying a supply in a sack, deliberately ran against knocked down a white boy, also on a wheel, and continued on his way rejoicing with loud peals of laughter. Last Friday this same negro tried his best to run over Willie Hipp, stepson of W. H. Windle, by running at least eight feet out of the way the wheel was coursed. Mr. W indie kept a lookout for the negro and on his return met him a little distance from the house. Upon a request by Mr. Windle that he stop the negro put on more speed, whereupon Mr. Windle took a shot at the front tire of the bicycle. The ball missed, however. and Dassed between his leers He then, apparently, tried to run against Mr. Windle with the wheel, but the latter recharged his Winchester and informed the negro that if he tried to run the wheel over him he would kill him. This brought the black ape to a standstill. Mr. Windle found the negro, who gave his name as Toy Wood, to be well tanked with liquor and a good supply on his person which he claimed to have gotten at Fort Mill. The thought at first might not seem very serious, but if Toy Wood is permitted to run over white children and get his gal- j Ion a month at Fort Mill it will not be long until there will be a band of Toy Woods making their weekly trips to our town, some of them getting a gallon one week and some the next, and some possibly getting more than a gallon a month under assumed names. The roads will then be festered with drunken brutes, so much so that the white children will have to give the public road to them and husband and father ! will have to be careful to be at home to protect their wives and ; daughters from tlu^e drunken j negroes. F. W. D. Gold Hill, May 15. Observations of a Visitor. Editor The Times: Dnrincr nnr in KYkrf Mill we visiferf at the home of Mr. S. P. -Blankenship and found that he and his wife knew how to entertain strangers, and by so doing will no doubt entertain angels unawares. The table that was snread showed prosperity and the fragments of; broken meat would almost have equaled the miraculous feeding of the multitude. "Uncle" S. P. is far past four score years; 9erved in thirty-eight engagements during his four-year war! record; has never been in bed from sickness and looks able to go through the same "sport" ! 11? ?*:u i 4. ? I ?k???? ?*-'?? ?? nut very niucn in love with the Yankees, yet he has taken down the Confederate flag and is trying to keep as cool on the subject as possible, and what doesn't know about raising alfalfa, clover, corn, cotton, chickens, children, mules, cows, hogs, etc., would be hard to learn. We consider him the 1 * * ' * 4 Ijjfcin - most remarkable man we have met in the up country and his wife a very choice spirit. We have been entertained at other places and are well pleased with the high . ideals of the people generally. The -candidates look just as pleasing as they do in the low county, but we are not able tc say much about the "soft soapers." We have plenty of them in Barnwell, and generally they are fond of cured meat, cold drinks, cigars, etc. But mind about the promises. Riah Mas. New County Commission Net. The commission recently appointed by Governor Manning tc look into the matter as to whether or not the proposed new county of Catawba shall comply with the constitutional requirements held their first meeting in Rock Hill Thursday. The commission was organized with J. L. Glenn of Chester chairman and W. B. Wilson, Jr., of Rock Hill secretary. It was decided that both .proponents and opponents of the new county should each select an engineer to make the necessary survey. The commission also agreed that it be served with an injunction next week in order that the constitutionality of the illshaped county act of 1912 be tested. R. H. Welsh of fnlnm. bia will represent the advocates at the hearing on the matter before the supreme court and Messrs. J. E. McDonald of Winnsboro, A. L. Gaston and J. H. Marion of Chester and W. VV. Lewis of Yorkville, will represent the opposition of the proposition. It is believed that the supreme court will pass on the constitutionality of the act within the next few weeks although an en banc session may be necessary. ? Yorkville Enquirer. York County News Matters. (Clipped from Our Exchanges.) At a meeting of the Democrat ic voters of the Filbert precinct last Saturday Mr. D. M. Hall of Yorkville No. 1, was elected county executive committeeman from that precinct. Contractors have completed the work of putting a new root on the county home, a mattei which has given the county commissioners much trouble since the erection of the building was completed. The new roof is ol plain sheet iron. Marion Nelson, who has beer in the employ of the Rock Hil postoftice for many years, has been appointed assistant at thai place. He will succeed Halcotl Poag, resigned. The change wil become effective June 1. The ten mile stretch of roar out from Clover into the Bethe country is the best in York coun ty, and the next best ten milt stretch of road is that betweer Clover and Yorkville, and Rock Hill is coming into the same class with the best. According to Mr. P. Smith, the sale of cotton on the Clovei market for this season is about over. While it is possible thai some 300 or 400 bales may be marketed there between now anc fall, there will hardly be more than that amount. Charles Mace, the Burke county North Carolina man who has relatives in York county and whc was convicted at Morjranton, N. C., last week of the murder ol his wife, has been sentenced tc serve thirty years in the North Carolina penitentiary at Raleigh. Mace is about 42 years of a*?e. Mr. J. S. Glascock, of the Santuc section, reports that probably owinj? to the hot, dry weatht r some cotton that has come ud is Hvin.r ,1-? .1 . ujiu^. xic uucs nut inuiK mill this condition yet exists to an extent to be serious. Mr. (Jit sscock also says that he does not believe that over 50 per cent, of the cotton planted has yet come up at all. certainly not in hi? section. For Open Air Services. in a joint meeting Monday afternoon of the officers of the local Methodist and Presbyterian churches arrangements were perfected for the holding of open air services at the stand in Confederate Park each Sunday evening during the summer months. It is stated that permanent seats will be erected in the park to accommodate at least 250 persons and it is the hope of the committee in charge to have the seats in place in time to hold the first service there next Sunday evening.
