TVin fnllnMnno onnimnninotinn X lie; 1VIIVVT lllfe VVIIIIIIUIIIVUVIVU, I signed by James D. Grist, of j York, appeared a few days ago ! in the News and Courier: Political prognosticators of York county are predicting that the county campaign this summer will be the hottest in years. While Bleasism and anti-Bleasism will cut somewhat of a figure the main issue will be the new county of Catawba?whether you are "fur it or agin' it." Sentiment in the eastern section, which includes Rock Hill, which would be the county seat of the proposed new county of Catawba, is of course in favor of the proposition almost to a man. In the western section, which includes the towns of York, Clover, Sharon and Hickory Grove, there is considerable opposition to the formation of the new county, the main argument being that it would increase taxes in York county if a portion of the county secedes. On the other hand, there are a large number of people in western York who : care nothing about the matter. They argue that Rock Hill has been wanting a county seat for years, and for that reason has ( stirred up strife and kept alive the question of east and west, , and that it will be for the best interests of all concerned to let ; Rock Hill go. However, that :s by way of introduction. The purpose of , this article is to tell what the ; political forecasters say about , this summer's campaign. The first indication of the likelihood of the new county's being the principal issue was apparent in the County Convention, May 1. The eastern section of the county on that occasion succeeded in 1 n Hill man ?<k county chairman while the west- J ern section elected the State '' executive committeeman. It is being talked now that ' both sections are looking around 1 for legislative candidates, and it is here that the rub is coming. It is understood that Anti-Blease leaders in York and vicinity are ( trying to unite with the Blease \ forces in this section and have given the latter to understand . that they are perfectly willing to |1 support Blease men for the r Legislature, if the Blease men seem to have a better chance of v winning than the Anti-Blease I men. In other words, it is said ( that they care not who goes to the Lecnslatnre Inner ns thn ?^ .... ? I representatives are men who are opposed to the formation of the t new county of Catawba. But that is a jtame that both a sides can play, and it is said both c sides are playing it. The Rock | Hill Anti-Rleaseites are said to have made the same proposition to the Bleasites on t he eastern | ! side of the county. All they a want is the delegation that favors a the formation of Catawba county. ( Fort Mill township is a portion r of the territory which it is pro- t posed to incorporate in the new t county. A large i^umber of Fort v Mill citizens favor going into the r new county, but on the other ^ hand many do not. It is said |B that Fort Mill political leaders B are sore at Rock Hill i>olitical ? i>r\ nooonrvt <il' ?> i ? ? T Itauvio v/ll <?v VAMIIU \ / t \ V I 1(1111 * alleged antics of the latter at t the recent County Convention, r and for that reason will tight the , e new county idea tooth and toe- c nail. Unless a majority of the 'J citizens of Fort Mill vote to be- v come a portion of Catawba f county the scheme will fall flat, v Rock Hill leaders are now ap- 0 parently making a bid to get j back into the good graces of? Fort Mill. Opponents of Catawba county in this section are aware of the a schism between Fort Mill and 1 Rock Hill, and the understand- b ing is that thev have been doing i t good work toward further widen- I ing the breach. That is the story over here. Candidates for the Legislature are very slow in announcing themselves. Not a single man has published an official announcement. It is understood that W. R. Bradford, of Fort Mill, and E. Gettys Nunn, of Rock Hill, will seek re-election io uie legislature. Dr. YV. (J. White, of York, and E. W. Pursley, of York. No. 1, are also being spoken of as probable candidates. It is likely that opponents of the new county i will name four candidates and j proponents four, and that all others will stand aside and see the fur fly. It is going to Hy, too. ! i York County News Natters. (Clipped from Our Exchanges.) P. B.

Not So Bad. After All While this old earth is convulsed with war and hate and tragedy, and man's lot is impregnated with bitterness and woe. yet it is a pretty good old earth, after all. We have here to enjoy the sunshine and the rain; the warmth and light of the sun by day and the glorious panorama of the heavens to delight the night; the beautiful flowers and the bountiful harvest; the trees, the fruits and a thousand and one things that a gracious Creator has lavishly bestowed upon us. If the earth is bad, it is because man has made it so. Take sin out of the earth and it would soon return to its Edenic state. God made it good, but man has scarred it and marred it more than he knew. ?Selected. Mr. Epps Withdraws.
