C.. as mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY. JULY 27. 1916. Fort Mill has done its full: share during the last two weeks to make rich old John D. Rockefeller a still richer man. ?_____?? People who imagine there is j fun or little work in getting an issue of a newspaper off a power press by hand power simply know nothing about the press business. There has been little grumbling among the farmers of this vicinity over their losses in the recent flood water, and a few lost practically their entire crops. Our farmers realize that the recent catastrophe was of too wide scope to complain of their individual losses. We believe that nine of ten men in Fort Mill will favor placing the new county bridge at a point on Catawba river which will give the best and most, direct road from this city to1 Rock Hill. All we have heard speak of the old bridge seem to be agreed that it was misplaced at its site near the Catawba dam. Robinson Crusoe found money worthless on a lonely isle. He found it acquired value only by exchange with other men. Any man's money is the same. It has value only because other men accept it as value, and give | value for it in return. Where I you are likely to receive proper; value in exchange for your money?whether from neighbors or strangers, whether at home or abroad ?is for you to determine. Who is more likely to deceive you ?the stranger or the neighbor?is for you to decide. A.i. n r__ n i r hsk congress tor neiiei. Appropriations totalling $800.000 for the relief of storm and Mood sutTerers in North Carolina. South Carolina. Georgia,* Ala-1 bama and Mississippi are provided for in joint resolutions introduced Tuesday in the House and referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. The resolutions also authorize the Secretary of War to issue tents and quartermasters and medical supplies to the needy. The appropriations are divided among the States as follows: North Carolina. $300,000;! South Carolina, $100,000; Georgia, $200,000; Alabama and Mississippi, $200,000. Cotton After Cover Crops. Mr. Robert S. Hodges, of Greenwood county, has, on a 70 acre field, solved the problem of sowing clover in his cotton each fall; planting cotton after crimson clover each year, and getting as early a stand of cotton as any farmer. He draws otf his rows about 4 1-2 feet with a scooter, early when the clover is quite small, runs a shovel in the scooter furrow and throws two furrows on the shovel lurrow with turn plow, leaving a balk of clover two feet wide. At planting time he runs a small drag on this ridge and plants, getting an early stand which he cultivates with Joe Harrow or small scrape. When clover in two feet balk is in full bloom or even after ripe, and seed saved, he runs a small drag on balk to lay clover flat. Then he runs the bar side of turn plow toward cotton and with two furrows to the middle, throws a bed on the clover in the balk where he leaves it to rot. He continues to side cotton with a longer sweep each time until the middle is plowed out. In ten years experience, he has never had a sweep to clog on the cover. Rye cover crops may be handled in a similar manner, except that it should he covered in balks Bridge Loss is Great. As to how much it is going to cost to replace all the bridges over streams in York county which were swept away by the recent high waters is not known at present and cannot be known accurately for some time yet; but, says the Yorkville Enquirer, it is safe to say that it will be considerably more than $50,000. Supervisor Thos. W. Boyd has been busy this week touring the county in an effort to see just what the damage is and has not yet completed his task. He has visifpd nrnrHpnllv nil fhp fnwn ships of the county with the exception of Fort Mill, and on yesterday afternoon had not been able to get in communication there. The two York county bridges over the Catawba and that over Broad river between Hickory Grove and Wilkinsville, cost approximately $35,000, and it is expected that it will cost more than that to replace them. Celebrates 80th Birthday. (Contributed.) Mrs. Nancy M. Patterson, of the Barbersville section, celebrated her 80th birthday on Tuesday, Julv 18. There were present 70 people. All of her children were there except one. Mrs. Sam Phillips, of Lakeland, Florida. At 1:30 o'clock a bounteous dinner was spread under the large oak trees, the table fairly groaning under its weight ?c : a ?- v........ ui ut'iitciciCD. n.unt CIIjoys fairly good health for an old lady of 80 years. In the afternoon, after wishing her many more happy birthdays, the young people sang a number of good, old-time hymns and then left for a delightful stroll into the woods and down to Barber's bridge to see the high water caused by the river backing water up Sugar creek. Spoiled in the Raising. Somewhere in the suburbs of New York lives a man and wife, happily married, with one child. The husband has a job that brings a fairly good income and the wife keeps house and takes care of the baby. Both are wellbred. He was a Southern gentlemen; she is the daughter of well-to-do parents, went to boarding school, is handsome and accomplished. She learned everything a girl should know but the nrnJ iiccontial fhinor lifiw tn matp a home. Her mother had her maid. The daughter's clothes were always ready and her mending done. Her youthful years were spent in having a Rood time and learning to be a lady. She married. Now she must run a home. She doesn't know how. Her husband gives her $12f> a month for the house. Because she never learned to cook and can't afford a cook, they must take their dinners out. Therefore Mr. Husband comes home, takes care of the baby while Mrs. Wife rushes ..half a mile to a boarding house for dinner. eats in a hurry and rushes back; then he hurries half a mile to the boarding house and gets his fag-end dinner. Her generous allowance is gone when the month is up and it has brought no satisfaction. They have no 4 r99 monlo V* or f Vtmr IMMIIVJ IIIV.UIO lU^VHIV I t l/IJVJ blame the baby?they ought to blame the mother. Had this wife been brought up to be a woman instead of just a lady, she would take that thirty dollars they spend every month for boarding house dinners and get two meals a day for two that would make the boarding house dinners look like a 10-cent lunch. Hut she doesn't know how. She doesn't study her job. She can't save her energy. The time and effort spent in getting to the boarding house and back, the dressing, the annoyance and the worry would more than get the meal, and a better one, and clear it away. She doesn't want to be a mere lady, she would rather be a woman; now it's t<s> late she's spoiled. But it's not altogether her fault. She wasn't trained right. She is a parlor ornament and not a thrifty wife. She can't manage. She can't plan. She can't save. She can just be sweet; but sweetness never runs a home. It's good for dessert, but a home is made of beefsteak and 1 potatoes and pies and puddings that "touch the spot," and the old saying is as true now as ever, that "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," and lucky the woman who has found it out. Don't spoil your daughter in the raising. Teach her to look upon housekeeping as an art - a science, worthy of a place in the school curriculum, and absolutely essential to the comfort and well THE ?0&T Ml AN NOUNCEMENTS For Solicitor. 1 announce myself as a candidate for Solicitor of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, subject to the rules of the Democratic party.

I understand that the claim is made that in my Fort'Mill speech I misstated the appropriation for roads and stated it at $5,000,000, when it should be $75,000,000. Now. it was the appropriation actually made for this year that I discussed, and that is all. The 1 bill provides for spending $75,000,000 in five years, but only $5,000,000 this year and the other $70,000,000 has not been appropriated and may never be. Next Congress may refuse to make it. There is only $5,000,000 appropriated for this year and that is what I said. W. F. Stevenson. (Advertisement.)
