Company G. Honored.
A telephone call at Camp
Moore Wednesday night put the
i _ r n ..ii ;
ooys 01 company vj., umei wisu
known as the Fort Mill Light
infantry, in readiness to receive
some visitors, says the Columbia
Record. About eight young
women of Columbia with their
chaperones went out in automobiles
laden with good things to
eat, not the least of which being
several luscious watermelons.
The boys of Company G. and
several other invited guests
gathered in the tent of one of
the sergeants and for a few
moments had one grand time.
When the inner man had been
appeased the young men and
women went Out into the company
street and for a couple of
hours had a big time. The
"Old Virginia reel" was danced
and other forms of amusement
were had. Men from other
companies of the gallant First
joined in with the Fort Mill
boys.
"Please put a little notice in
The Record about the evening
of pleasure," said a member of
thu tnvnrpH cnmnanv "Wp hnH
a great time and we can not
show our appreciation to the
young ladies who were so kind
and generous. The other companies
of the First are jealous
of our company but the visit of
the young ladies put the whole
First regiment into a better
humor, and we will not forget
the evening."
The party was gotten up by
Miss Dorian Yarborough, who
knew a number of the Fort Mill
members.

One of the most delightful
birthday celebrations your correspondent
ever had the pleasure
ol attending was that held at
the nome of Mr. Ira Patterson
i on July 28 when he celebrated
his eightieth birthday. Mr.
Patterson is a gallant ex-Confederate
soldier, being a member
of Company B. of the famous
I Sixth South Carolina regiment
oi volunteers. There are only
about ten members of this company
now surviving, and Mr.
Bowman Merritt and Mr. J. H.
Coltharp of Fort Mill were the
only two who attended Uncle
Ira's birthday celebration. The
three old veterans told interesting
reminiscenses of the war,
the Harrison string band furnished
delightful music, and the
dinner was bountiful and delicious.
Uncle Ira and his congenial
help-meet, Aunt Sophia,
have eight children and thirtyfive
grand-children living. Rev.
E. Z. James, of Fort Mill, was
present and made a pleasing
talk in the afternoon. It was a
day of fine fellowship, and all
the friends and relatives of
Uncle Ira and Aunt Sophia wish
for them many more like celebrations.

Mr. V\. F. Stevenson, candi-1
date for Congress in the Fifth
district, states that he is in receipt
of numerous communications
from voters in the district;
' enclosing the following letter:
House of Representatives, U. S.
Washington. I). C. i
July 19, 1916.
: Dear Sir:
I am sending out Agricultural
, Yearbooks. I have less than
ore thousand of these books as
my quota for distributing each
i year. There are more than
twelve thousand farmers in the
district, so that it is impossible
f<?r me to send each farmer a
Yearbook; however, in the event
that you do not receive one and
are especially interested and will
wriie me, 1 will make an effort
to secure a copy for you.
1 have a number of Farmers'
Bulletins, in fact, a sufficient
number to go over the District,
and am sending out these also. :
I enclose you a list. If vou will
mark a few bulletins on the list
and will return it to me at Washington,
I will send these to you.
These bulletins contain much
valuable information on various
, subjects.
If you have a pond or a stream
of water that you wish to stock
with fish and will write me, I ;
will secure the fish for you and
have them sent you free of cost.
We have passed a Good Roads
Bill and also a Rural Credits Bill.
I also hope to see you during
the summer and that you will
write me at any time I can be
of service.
Yours sincerely.
F. G. F. D. E. Finley.
The letters go in an envelope
marked "House of Representatives
U. S.
"Public Document- Free.
D. E. Finley, M. C."
With the letter is a printed
list of bulletins from Agricultural
department. Now. voters are
mailing these to Mr. Stevenson
and asking iguesrtaons indicating
THE FORT M
that they think there is an offer
of books and fish being made
for their support in the election.
One man endorses on his letter
the following, "Finley is offering
fish. What have you got."
Mr. Stevenson says that it is
impossible to write all the voters,
and as this letter seems to have
been sent to all he takes this
method of answering questions
being raised.
First, he assumes that it is
purely in discharge of his duty
as Congressman that Mr. Finley
is offering to send out fish and
books, though it is unfortunate
that he didn't make this offer
till he was in a campaign for
re-election, as that might cause
persons of a suspicious nature
to make the uncharitable charge
I that he expected support as a result
of the offer.
Second, Mr. Stevenson cannot
offer anything but the promise
of faithful, honest work as a
Representative of every man
and every interest in the district,
if elected, because (1) He has
no fish or books of his o.vn to
give, nor can he as a private
citizen draw on the United
States to send them free. (2) He
is not able to write every voter
in the district, because he cannot
frank his letter as the Con:
gressman does, and the postage
; alone will cost $460. And (3),
if he had the fish and books and
i could send them free, being a
private citizen who was under
no obligation to send out these
things, he would violate the law
to do so, because it says that
"any person who shall * * * "by
the payment, delivery or promise
' of money or other article of
value, procure or offer, promise
or endeavor to procure another
I to vote for or against any particular
candidate in such election
* * * shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor."
The advantage which the Congressman
has in the matter is
that it allows him to send the
voters things free as a congressional
duty, but Mr. Stevenson
cannot do so because he has
no such duty, and it be absolutely
clear that he was offering
fish and books for votes, so that
he can only offer, if elected, the
service due from a Congressman
to his constituents, and when he
1 gets to be Congressman, if he
should, he will not wait till the
election to make a universal
I offer of fish and hooks,

The Extra Inches.
"It is not the six feet that
that make a man tall, but the
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 insurance
companies that gives the
Union Central its standing. The
extra interest above the average
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
Mill the service, safety and savings
offered by this company.
