A Menace to the Public Welfare.
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.

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!

from sickness and looks able to
go through the same "sport" !

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

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.

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

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.
