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.

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

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

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 Appropriation For Roads.
July 21, 1916.
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.
