auguration of a ten-day "clearance"
sale to begin this morning
and continue through the 19th

Traffic over the Southern's
Charlotte-Columbia line, especially
with the freight department,
has been unusually heavy since
the Catawba bridge was opened
on last Monday.
Announcement is made that,
beginning on September 4th, a
series of services will be held in
the school auditorium at Sharon,
this county. The services will
be under the auspices of Sharon
church and will be conducted by
the Rev. S. P. Hair, of Fort Mill.
Final enrollment figures for
this year, as given out by Chairman
B. J. White, show that the
total number of voters who
placed their names on the club
rolls of York county atN their
respective precincts was 4,696,
as against 4,554 in 1914, a gain
of 142.
Quite a number of Fort Mill
people, relatives and friends of
the soldier boys, went down to
Styx the last week-end to bid
farewell to the members of the
local military company, who with
the other companies comprising
the First regiment, left Monday
morning for El Paso,- Texas, for
border duty.
The finest lot ^f livestock seen
in this city in some time was
that which arrived during the
last week, belonging to Hamilton
Carhartt, whose farm is located
just across Catawba river from
this city. The shipment con^
sisted of a Clydesdale stallion.
a Guernsey cow and calves and
a Collie dog. The stock was
kept here for several days on
account of being unable to cross
the river to their destination.
The annual summer revival
meeting of Flint Hill church in
XT' k. X X 11 A. I * ? 1
upper run lviui lownsnip nas

most successful meeting in the
Fort Mill Baptist church during
the early part of this year.
The candidates for the various
county offices, together with the
county legislative candidates,
are scheduled to speak in Fort
Mill on next Saturday, August

Park and each voter of the
township is invited to be present.
The meeting will be presided
over by Hon. J. R. Haile,.
president of the local Democratic
club. The speaking will begin
at 2 p. m.
Following the completion of
the Southern Railway's temporary
bridge at Carhartt last
Monday, all the passenger trains i
on the Charlotte-Columbia line
resumed their former schedule,
the trains passing Fort Mill as
follows: Southbound, No. 35, at
5:30 a. m.; No. 31, at 7:30 a. m.;
No. 27, at 5:33 p. m. North-,

The remains of William Bur
rage, a son of Mr. J. P. Burrage
^ of this city, reached Fort Mill by
express Friday evening from
Montrese, La., where on the
preceding Monday the young
man was drowned in a nearby
stream. The telegram announcing
the deach of the young man
gave no details as to the circumstances
attending his demise.
. Mr. Burrage was employed by a
lumber company at Montrese,
and a letter 'was sent with the
corpse, but this neither told of
how he met his death. The
burial was made in New Unity
cemetery Saturday afternoon at
? o'clock.
0
Parks Boyd, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Boyd of this city, has
gone to Newcastle, Pa., where
he will engage in business and
make his future home.
The Times stops its press to
chronicle the death of Mrs. J. F.
Lytle, which occurred at the late
home of the deceased on Booth
street this morning. The funeral
arrangements have not yet been
announced. Further notice of the
'death of this estimable lady will
be given in our next issue.
The public in general, and es- \
| pecially drivers of autos between
! Fort Mill and Charlotte, will be
interested to know that the
"Blankenship" bridge over Steel |
creek in upper Fort Mill township
is again in repair. It is
generally claimed that the "up
per" road furnishes not only a
shorter distance of travel between
tliis city and Charlotte
but that the road is usually in
better condition than the "lower"
route.
The committe of ladies who.
through public subscriptions, recently
raised a fund sufficient to
pay for a State flag to be presented
to the Fort Mill Light Infantry,
wish to publicly extend
thanks for a $5 donation which
was received a few days ago
from Sergt. Robt. B. White, of
Douglas. Ariz. The flag, and a
beauty it is, arrived yesterday
and after being exhibited here ,
for a few days it will be sent to !
Capt. Parks at El Paso, Texas.
The ferry over the Catawba
river near India Hook shoals, j
which the county chaingang has !
been engaged in building for
several days past, has been completed

Saturday. The ferry boat is a
large, strong barge, capable of ,,
carrying two two-horse teams at!,
a time. Mr. J. B. Fewell is the ,
ferryman in charge. The ferry
is to be operated free of charge i
bet ween the hours of a. m.. (

About Your Complexion?Mrs. J
Morton Tells You How to (
Improve and Preserve It.
At Dow's Seventh and Race Streets J
Store they often call "Miss" Lottie, ;
who guides the destinies of the Annex, (
"Mother." My, my, what a mixture k
of names. She isn't "Mother." She 1
isn't even "Miss" Lottie, for in private ]
life she is Mrs. Wellington Morton, i
and also one of the best-known sales- ] .
women in Cincinnati.
She has a most attractive personality. 1
a fund of humor which goes well with ]
her charming dimples, and she knows ,
the needs of women as well or better
than any other Dow employe. i
For seventeen years "Miss" Lottie t
has stood behind her counter and told ! t
grateful women how to preserve beau- j ,
ty, make it, hold it. work for it, and | J
enjoy it. She has helped corpulent 1
women to become lithe and lissome,
and she has pointed the way to abundant
flesh to those who were underweight.
We speak of her as "the perfect
saleswoman." She believes in her firm,
in the goods she sells and in her mission.
The advice she gives is based on
conviction.
Mrs. Wellington Morton is at the
m-ri'irp ctf thi> mitilin ovopu il'ii; at *ia\r- ?
enth and Race street*, and she will (
make your visit pleasant and profitable. .
While I was waiting for a chat with |
her, I heard her tell a woman who had {
a very rough skin how to secure acorn- 1
plexion. This is what she said: i
"Indeed, madam, I am sure that ,
with a little loving care you can have a
velvety skin. May 1 tell you what to '
do? You have good general health, 1
which is the proper start. 1
"At night, and every night, wash /
the skin thoroughly in tepid water, .
using soap which cannot harm the skin. '
Then, with the tips of the fingers work 1
into the skin Harmony Cocoa Butter, (
which is a very line skin food and builds j
up the tissues delightfully. It has a
tendency to lessen wrinkles, removes 1
lines and will keep the texture of the (
skin firm.
"In the morning, wash the face again ,
with soap and tepid water, and then, '
if you are going out and wish to pro- '
tect the face from sun and wind, here (
is what you should do: j
"With the tips of the lingers, and :
not too strenuously apply Violet l)ulce
Cold Cream, which is greasy. Wipe off '
with a soft cloth. Don't irritate the ?
skin under any circumstances. Then
apply again with the tips of the lingers <
Trailing Arbutus Cream, and powder '
over with a powder puff, using Bouquet
I.aurece Powder. This is a charming <
Powder. j
"A dash of color helps, therefore use ^
D'Artagnun Rouge, hut use it spar- ,
ingly." 1
And so another woman went away i
pleased and satisfied, to say to her \
friends: "I met a most pleasant woman
at Dow's Seventh and Race Street
store. She is a Mrs. Morton and she 1
made me feel that she was really inter- i
ested in my troubles. She seems to be !
very competent."
We, at Dow's, KNOW that she is
competent.

THE FORT
Commissioner of Agriculture
E. J. Watson at the instance of
Governor Manning has appointed
Messrs. Thos. W. Boyd. John R.
Hart, John T. Roddey, W. R.
Timmons and W. R. Bradford

convention of the Southern Appalachian

Stevenson's Tactics.
After hearing the candidates
for congress speak here recently,
we were forced to the conclusion
that in his choice of tactics Mr.
Stevenson has taken a leaf out
of the Republican book. As with
the Republicans, whose slogan is
"Anything to beat Wilson" and
whose method of showing their
fitness to rule the country is by
making slashing and vitriolic at
4.U.* ll. _ TA
mvno uu cvcrjLUlIIg iue l^eiziocratic
administration nas done,
so does Mr. Stevenson, having
only vague promises of future
performance to offer the voters
of the Fifth District, devote his
speeches, not so much to attacks
on the record of Congressman
Finley, as to attacks on the record
of the Wilson administation
and of the Democratic majority
in congress. For in every point
where Mr. Stevenson criticised
the Congressman's record, he was
criticising likewise the record of
his party in Washington.
He criticised the Good Roads ,
Bill, of which Mr. Finley has
been an ardent champion and
which recently passed congress,
carrying an appropriation of
$85,000,000 that will make possible
good roads all over the country.
He likewise charges Mr.
Finley with the imperfections of
the Rural Credits Bill, although
that great piece of legislation,
the opening wedge of a reform
that will place at the command
of the farmer the limitless credit
resources of the Federal Government,
had the warm endorsement
not only of President Wilson
but of the Democracy of both
House and Senate. "In signing
this bill," said President Wilson
on July 17th, "I have not only a
feeling of profound satisfaction
but of real gratitude that we
have completed this piece of leg-1
jslation, which I hope will be |
immensely beneficial to the farm-;
ers of the country." Criticism of I
such a measure on the part of
Mr. Stevenson has somewhat a
carping sound and ill becomes an
honest aspirant for office at the
hands of a Democratic electorate.
Mr. Finle.v's stand on the Rural
Credits Bill is well known; he
nade a speech in favor of the
pill when it was before congress,
ind he has always been a champion
both of this and every other
tound measure of benefit to the
armers of the country.
Mr. Stevenson's fault-finding
ivith Mr FinWa anrl tlio fUmn
- - .... .... . j. * * iivj u uuvi tnv L/tmu?ratic
party's record on these
and other questions may be explained
in two ways. As suggested,
he has no record in con- j
?ress to stand upon, and can j
mly paint word pictures of what
le intends to do. But the best
-vay to judge a man's future performance
is by what he has done
n the past. And what is Mr.
Stevenson's past record of which
le so sedulously avoids mention?
He has a record of service in the j
egislature. Why does he not I
lold that up for inspection by
:he people of the Fifth District?
Less than two years ago. in Oc- !
:ober 1914, we find Mr. Stev3nson
responsible for putting
:hrough the House that mon- i
;trosity of all modern legislation, j
in attempt to saddle the State of
South Carolina with a twenty-!
our million dollar bond issue in
irder to take care of a temporary !
surplus in the cotton crop. Be-'
ause of a passing emergency, I
le would have encumbered the!
State with a debt under which it j
,vould have staggered for fifty
fears to come and from which
io lasting benefit would have ac- j
:rued. An even more dangerous |
>iece of legislation with which
VIr. Stevenson was prominently ;
dentified in 1014 was the Cotton j
\creage Reduction Bill, which j
A'ould have resulted in depriving
he farmer of the enjoyment of j
lis property, one of the chief
ights guaranteed him by the
Constitution. Fortunately, this
:>ill did not become law. nor was
VIr. Stevenson's bond bill placed
>n the statute books; but they at
east served the purpose of show-;
ng the people of South Carolina
)f what rash and ill-considered
judgment Mr. Stevenson is possessed.
And yet he attempts to
criticize Mr. Finley and the Democratic
party for the Rural Credits
Law. a piece of financial legislation
which has had the en-:
iorsement of conservative men
everywhere.
Should a man so impetuous and
so reckless of. the people's welfare
be intrusted with a seat in
Congress, where questions of the
greatest moment are constantly
Lip for decision? Or would it not
be the safer policy for the people
of the Fifth district to return to
Congress D. E. Finley, whose
record they know and who has
represented them for eighteen
years and in all that time has
never made a break in judgment
that, by his vote, placed in jeopardy
the interests of the American
people?
