Hnn W R RrnHford has bpon
appointed by Commissioner of
Agriculture E. J. 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.

. 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.

The Extra Inches.
"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.
Become a policyholder in the
Union Central and share with
100 other policyholders in Fort j
Mill the service, safety and savings
offered by this company.

Is He Master or Servant?
"The race for Congress between
Finlov nnH Stouononn in i
.his district promises to be a
tvarm one and there are many
vho say that Finley will have to
vake up if he wants to keep the
nan from Chesterfield from takng
his scalp. It is a certain
:hing that Finley will have no
?asy fight on his hands this sumTier.
For one thing, he has had
,he olfice for so long that he has
jegun to think he is master of
;he people of this district rather
,han their servant, as has been
jvidenced by his various postjffice
appointments, which in
nore than one instance have
lot been in accord with the
.vishes of the people of the several
communities. He has been
swayed by his personal desires
ather than by the wishes of the
voters who put him in his present
high office.Rock Hill Rec>rd.
This is the statement of a paier
in the home county of the I
Congressman, and heretofore a
strong supporter of him.

Whereas, these Companies are
the only corporations or manufacturing

capable of being identified as
cotton belonging to them;
Therefore, the Companies above
named, desiring to recover their
lost cotton, do hereby authorize
and empower H. L. SANDERS,
of Charlotte, N. C., for them,
and on their account, to recover
and take possession of all cotton
bearing any marks identifying it
as the cotton of said Companies, ?
or any or tnem: and do also au-l^
thorize and empower the said
Sanders, for them, and on their .
account, to take possession of all *
cotton which is incapable of being
identified, and which floated 1

the flood; and for this purpose ?
they authorize and empower the 4
said Sanders to pay to any per- <
son who may have possession of
said cotton, reasonable sums to 1
reimburse all such persons for *
their trouble and expense in re- ?
