OCT. r>. 191(i. j Fort Mill will have to bestir ' herself, otherwise within a short time this will be the fourth York 1 county town instead of the third. 1 the relative rank which the place i has held amon^ the county's 1 towns for years. Clover is grow- I ing much faster than Fort Mill i and bids fair to pass this place i in population and taxable prop- 1 erty within the year. If it be true as asserted by one of the State's daily newspapers that there are practically two [ strong white political parties in South Carolina, it follows as a . fono pnnnlncinn fViut" hi it ll tllPSf' parties are not Democratic. One ! therefore wonders how this same < , daily paper can afford in onej' breath to try to read practically half the white men in the State j1 out of the Democratic party and |1 in the next breath appeal to, them as Democrats to contribute to the reelection of Wood row Wilson. Already there is a pood deal of j newspaper talk about what the ; city of Charleston will ask of the , General Assembly next January in the way of amendment to the prohibition law. Charleston people say that prohibition in | that city has proved a failure' and that the prohibitory law never will be enforced there be- j cause the people are not in syin pathy with it. Doubtless there is truth in the statement, but we , are inclined to the opinion that the Legislature will be slow to | pass any sort of amendment to the law making the sale of liquoi legal in one city of the State auti illegal in every other part of it. For the next few days followers of the great national game ol baseball will turn their attention to the series to begin in a day or two between the Boston Ameri cans and the Brooklyn Nationals for the championship of the world. After the baseball championship is decided, interest will center for a month or two in the brutal game of football, which is certain to produce its annua! q iota of lifelong cripples and to furnish the occupants of scores of new-made graves. And while the rah! rah! game is in progress thousands of young men students of the colleges and other schools throughout the country will waste their time following the fortunes of the sport while"} the "old man" is back at home j in blissful ignorance contemplating the very great things his son is going to do in after life as a result of the education he is receiving. Highway Bureau Necessary. C. W. Boyle, acting solicitor of | the United States offa** of public roads, is of the opinion that before South Carolina can share in the appropriations made by Congress last summer under the; good roads act it will be neces- [ sary for this State to establish a highway commission. The State department of agriculture, under! the ruling of Mr. Boyle, is not a department of good roads. This ruling is a matter of con-1 siderable interest in York county, as the hope has been entertained that under the national good roads act it would be possible to secure a considerable sum toward, the rebuilding of the bridge across Catawba river which was swept away in the July storm. It is not improbable, however, that the Legislature at its next session, which begins early in January, will pass the necessary legeslation to enable those counties which wish . to do so and can comply with the provisions of the act of Congress to participate in the distribution of the national fund. Unless the national law has been misconstrued by a number of those most interested in rebuilding the county bridge and constructing the road leading to it, York county, it would seem, should be able to secure considerable financial assistance in the undertaking from the federal treasury. j. York County News Natters. (Yorkville Enquirer.) Only one person was sent to he State hospital for the insane rom York county during the nonth of September. The paient was white. The Friendship school, in Ca,awba township, opened yesterday with a fairlv large enrollnent. The principal in charge s Miss Sarah Townsend, who is ^eing assisted by Miss Nell Hough. Alex. Lee. who reeent.lv com pleted a sentence of thirty days pn the county chaingang for house breaking and larceny has been remanded to jail where he is awaiting trial at the November term of court of general sessions jn a similar charge. The iron structural portion of the bridge over Turkey creek on the new Yorkville-Sharon road near the residence of W. C. Robinson was completed Saturday and will be ready for service on the completion of the approaches. The structure, when completed, will have cost about $5,000. The state commissioner of agriculture has appointed O. E. Bailes, of Fort Mill, and R. O. Atkinson, of Lowryville, representatives from the Fifth congressional district to the 36th annual meeting of the Farmers' National congress to be held at Indianapolis, Ind., October 17 to 20.

The condition in Virginia is put down as 85 per cent against SO last year; North Carolina 01 per cent against 70 last year, and South Carolina 53 per cent compared with 62 last year. The yield ner acre is estimated as follows: Virginia 264 pounds against 225 pounds last year North Carolina 214 against 26f last year; South Carolina 17? against 215 last year. Cotton ginned prior to September 25th was 4,063,000 bales, a* compared with 2,900,000 in 1915. WANTKI' Renter for our old bona place on the river, 2 to l-horse farm.
