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.
