Watson one of the delegates to represent South Carolina at the annual session of the Southern Appalachian Good Roads Association to be held in Lexington, Ky., September 5 to 8. The first through mail Fort Mill has had from the South since the Catawba bridge was washed away on Sunday. July 16, arrived Monday rooming, the mail pouches having been transferred by ferryboat from the Columbia train across the river to the Charlotte train. By a change of schedule which became effective last Sunday, Southern passenger train No. 35, formerly due at Fort Mill at 5:30 a. m., now arrives here at 6 a. m.. and train No. 27, form erly due at 5:33 p. m., now arrives at 5:03 p. m. There was no change in the running time of the two northbound passenger trains. Quite a number of automobile parties traveling from points North have during the last few days met disappointment on reaching Fort Mill tojearn that the proposed ferry at the Catawba bridge site was not opened. Information from the river Tuesday was to the effect that the ferryboat was about completed but could not be launched for the reason that the road on either side of the stream had not been completed, the mud along the river bank greatly retarding this part of the work. Three new crews from the reconstructed Belmont bridge, over which the first train passed Sunday, were brought to Fort Mill Tuesday morning to assist in the reconstruction of the de^ stroyed railway bridge at Carhartt. Information from those engaged at the bridge says that the work is progressing favorably and it is believed that the southern will ne anie to put a train across the structure by next Sunday, certainly not later than Tuesday. Passengers and first-class mail matter have been transferred across the river by ferryboat for several days. An Important Decision. That a magistrate can commit an incorrigible white youth between the ages of 8 and 17 years to the industrial school at Florence with the written consent of the parents or guardian of the boy, before trial for an offense is the opinion of Thomas H. Peeples, attorney general, rendered in reply to a letter from L. M. Player, magistrate at Newberry. After trial and conviction, however, the magistrate can commit without the consent of the parent. When a boy is committed he must remain until he is 21 years of age, unless dismissed by the board of trustees or through legal proceedings. Card of Thanks. We desire to express our heartfelt thanks to our neighbors and friends for the many acts of kindness shown us during the late illness and upon the death of our beloved son and brother, Robert H. Kimbrell. May the Ix>rd bless each and everyone of you. Mn. Harriet JLianbrell and Children. . Death of Nr. T. D. Faulkner. In the death Sunday afternoon of Mr. T. D. Faulkner at his i home in this place, probably I the oldest and one of the best I known citizens of Fort Mill < passed away. Mr. Faulkner was born at Clover on Decern- ! ber 22, 1834, and was therefore I in his 83d year. He moved to Fort Mill in 1858 and has since continuously resided here. In ; the early '60s Mr. Faulkner was i engaged in the railroad service and was the conductor of the i first passenger train over the i road between Charlotte and ] Statesville. In a collision on i this road in 1862 Mr. Faulkner's 1 left foot was so badly injured 1 that amputation was necessary. ; After recovering from the acci- ] dent, he was made depot, agent I I and postmaster in Fort Mill and j: 1 ? r? . IICIU tnc CVIIIUIIICU 1UI some time. In recent years he ! had been an undertaker. On 1 December 16, 1862, Mr. Faulkner I was married to Miss Louise i Powell, sister of Mr. B. F. j Powell, who until a few months 1 ago resided in Fort Mill at the i home of Mr. Faulkner. Mr. ; Faulkner is survived by two ] children, Mrs. Arthur L. Parks, of this place, and Mrs. Mary Deaton, of Durham, N.C., a number of grandchildren, and three f great-grandchildren. He was j , the oldest living member of the Fort Mill Presbyterian church j, and save his brother-in-law, Mr. j Powell, was the oldest member ( of the local Masonic lodge. 1 Mr. Faulkner was in every | respect a good citizen and was | ] held in high esteem by the entire ^ community. Several times he j had been intendent and a war- ] den of the town before the city ( government was changed a few ] years ago. He had an excellent memory which was unimpaired up to the time of his last illness, which began a few weeks ago. j He was fond of telling of incidents that occurred in this sec- j . tion in his young manhood and always found willing ears to ( listen to his stories. Some j months ago Mr. Faulkner wrote ; a "sketch" of Fort Mill which ' was read with interest by many of the citizens of the community. The funeral service was con- : ( ducted at the home at 5 o'clock . Monday afternoon by his pastor, j the Rev. R. K. Timmons, and the burial was in the city ceme- , tery. The funeral procession j was headed by an escort of I Masons. York County News Matters. ] I (Yorkville Enquirer.) ! J The question as to whether the ? Koaaey bridge over the Catawba ; will be rebuilt will, of course tie- 1 pend upon what the legislature has to say. The county commissioners cannot assume jurisdiction in the matter without legis- , lative authority. This bridge has , been used some; but not nearly ; so extensively as the county , bridge between Ebenezer and Fort Mill. j J Candidates who wish to run for "something" this summer, ' are reminded that Wednesday, ' August 9, at 12 o'clock, is the ' last minute in which they will be ? allowed to file their pledges and < pay their assessments. At least < one man was prevented from < running two years ago because , he overslept his time in attending , to the matter. The county cam- ( paign opens at McConnellsville on Thursday, August 10. What it is going to cost the county of York to rebuild the * four river bridges destroyed by * the recent floods, is a question : * that is hard to answer in view of 4 the fact that steel, lumber, cement and other materials used in " the construction of river bridges I has advanced to a marked degree since the bridges under discussion were built. In round num. I hers the four bridges cost about $<13,000 to build, and it is safe to say that it will cost considerably more than that to rebuild them. One of the first problems the next York county legislative delegation, whoever it may be, will have to face is to estimate the cost of rebuilding these bridges and to provide funds for the purpose. That the enrollment of York couuty citizens to vote in the Democratic primary on August 29, is in excess of two years ago, is borne out by a comparison of the figures. The books closed Tuesday night and reports from a number of precincts indicate that there was a rush to enroll on the final day, in some instances automobiles and buggies being used to carry the voters to j the places of enrollment. ' THE FORT Says Defeat Helped South. "I never believed it possible that I could do it,-but slowly and by depress I have come to think that it was best for all con- . cerned that the South was defeated/' said Senator Tillman ' Saturday, urging passage of a ; bill dealing with Arlington National Cemetery. "Slavery," he continued, "was ! a curse which had to be de- ; stroyed ere the South and the world could advance. It was a surse for which the South was no more responsible than the North. Both sections were responsible?and both paid four 1 long bloody years of penance for ' their joint sin. It had to go, 1 and while it went in the worst possible way and its going gavel1 i\i ft V-? f /a ? 1 1 tv? an apparently unsolvablc problem, still I, who was born in and of the Old South, am glad it is gone never 1 to return. I am glad, also, that 1 the idea of nationality has sup- ' planted that of the Confeder- 1 ition, despite the danger involved. And so, I can find it in 1 my heart to want to make the 1 amphitheater at Arlington truly National in its scope." Catawoa's Rebuke and Invitation, i Like some old Christian gentle i man in his quiet, commodious 1 residence, he has entertained cheerfully during many happy /ears, rejoicing at the pleasure lie was giving to the young and j 3ld, rich and poor. Their babies played on his banks and over his waters. With loving tenderness he allowed their familiar pranks and joined in their inno- " cent plays. Thus it is his joy, his pleasure, his life, to silently [low on forever, yielding joyous homage to God Almighty and ^ Jesus Christ his Maker. But long since noticing his Maker's name blasphemed, 11 is laws broken and His people despised, while he in his familiarties was only breeding 1 contempt and being used as a Lool in their sins. Up through ( long, silent, awful irluctance the wrathful purpose is formed. l\vas not a puny, fitful Hash. Like some revered school teacher luietly but firmly laying hold of the rod, he delivers impartial i md terrible blows on all the offenders from the biggest boys 1 down to the least. The great 1 Southern Railway loses its 3ridges, the great Southern Row- * jr company loses its dams and " ill the farmers their corn. Flushed and trembling the aged teacher takes his seat once more, liis awful duty done. Once more ( the aged man returns to his modest duties of entertainment, 1 serving out his Maker's bounties, ( and giving, pleasure and com- s fort to all within his reach.

"It is not the six feet that that make a man tall, but the i extra two or three inches above the average." The "extra inches" above the average likewise determine the measure of the success of any institution. It is the extra 1 1-2 per cent | interest realized over and above , the average rate of the combined ! earnings of all the great life in- j surance companies that gives the | Union Central its standing. The extra interest above the average i earned by the Union Central Life during the single year of ; 1915 amounted to $1,586,417.51. It is the extra "millions" of interest earned that enables the Company to continually increase its service and maintain its low net cost record.
