Entered at the postofflre at Fort Mill. S. C.. as
mail matter of the second clsas.
THURSDAY. OCT. 19, 1916.
While the decision of the supreme
court Saturday upholding
the constitutionality of the act of
1912 against the formation of illshaped
counties will be disappointing
to many in this section,
for it means the disintegration
of all present prospect of the I
formation of Catawba county,
the disappointment will not be
so great as it* would have been
had the decision been handed
down when the movement for
the new county was at its height
several months ago. So far as
Fort Mill township is concerned
over the proposition, we think it
may be said that the agitation is
at an end for the time being at
least and that if the decision of
the supreme court had been otherwise
and the issue of the formation
of Catawba county had
gone to an election, tne vote
would not have been one-sided.
So far newspaper effort, of
which there has been a good
deal, to smoke Senator Tillman
out with a statement as to whether
he intends to be a candidate
to succeed himself two years
from now has not had the desired
effect. Some time ago Senator
Tillman was quoted as saying
that he would be a candidate
if his health permitted and his
friends desired it. No one can tell
what the state of Tillman's health
will be two years hence, but it
will not be a hard matter for
him to arouse sufficient interest
in his candidacy to make it plausible.
So we expect to see him in
the race as we expect to see him
get the worst sort of a drubbing.
If Tillman had the proper conception
of the debt of gratitude
he owes the peopie of South Carolina
he would resign from the
Senate and give them an opportunity
to send a live man to
Washington in his place. The
State is entitled to better service
in the Senate than Tillman is
capable of rendering.
Citizens of Fort Mill who are
interested in the upbuilding of
the town and community should
lose no time in becoming members
of the recently organized
Chamber of Commerce. It is
just such an organization as has
long been needed here and if the
citizenship from which there is
an opportunity to draw its membership
respond as liberally and
Uunt -~v f V* y-v
t-IlLIlUMciaLlUrtil^ IU I 11 v 111 V I UUIOII
to unite with it as they should, 1
the chamber is certain to accom-1
plish much in promoting the public
interest. Nowadays no live
town is without a chamber of I
commerce or some such organization.
The Fort Mill organiza-,
tion is fortunate in having at its
head men who are sincerely desirous
of making the town a big- j
ger and better place and if they
receive the cooperation they deserve
the Chamber of Commerce
will ere long have much to point
to of a constructive nature.
Less than three weeks now re-1
main of -the presidential campaign
of 1(.)1(?. In most presidential
years it is a comparatively
easv matter to nick the winnpr
so short u time before election
day, but this year there is more
uncertainty as to the outcome
than has been the case for years.
There seems little doubt, however,
that President Wilson has j
been gaining ground rapidly in
the last few weeks. The straw
vote taken a few days ago by j
the New York Herald indicates |
unmistakably that the drift of
sentiment is toward the President,
who has helped his cause
very materially by the speeches
he has made in the Middle West
in the last ten days, while Judge
Hughes, in the opinion of the
New York Kvevuog Ptest. faasj
asm in his own behalf on his nu- <
merous campaign trips. The for- ;
tunes of neither a Democratic ;
nor a Republican candidate for ;
the presidency stand still?they ;
either ascend or descend. So it ;
is a safe conclusion that Hughes ;
has been losing ground while
Wilson has been gaining correspondingly.
Gallon-a-Month Law UohelH
That the law requiring railroads
and express companies not
to deliver to citizens of South
Carolina more than one gallon of
i whiskey in a single month is not
in violation of the State or Federal
constitution was the decision
of the South Carolina supreme
court handed down Saturday.
The case was heard Friday
at an en banc session of the
court. The decision of the court
was not unanimous, 12 justices
and judges voting to sustain the
constitutionality of the act and
four voting to hold it unconstitutional.
The test case was brought by
the late Thomas Brennan, of
Richland county, against the
Southern Express company to
compel the delivery of more than
one gallon of whiskey in a single
month. It was first heard by
Judge 1. W. Bowman in the Rich- ,
land county court, and following 1
his decision upholding the con- ',
stitutionality of the act, an appeal
was taken to the supreme
court. It is understood that the i
matter will be taken before the
United States supreme court by
i attorneys for the plaintiff.

The health of the community |
is good, I think.
Mrs. Lucindy Coltharp, who
j has been on an extended visit to
Darlington, S. C., got back to
her old tramping ground the |
past week.
Mr. W. P. Epps has a new
! girl at his house, and Mr. Fred i
5 Wilson has a new boy at his
home. Our people adhere strictly
to the scriptural injunction |
which says multiply and replenish'the
earth.
Well, we are progressive anyway.
Uncle Andrew Merritt cele
brated his 72d birthday on the
, 11th inst. His only brother, Bow- |
I man. and only sister. Mrs. Lou|
isa Melon, all in their seventies,
| as well as a number of his neighbors
and friends were with him
on that occasion. A fine dinner
was served and it was quite a |
pleasant day for all. May many
more years be added to his pil- '
I grimage on this old earth.
The three mentioned above are
the only ones left of a family of:
thirteen children. Three, Hen- ;
ry, William and Newell, were
slain in battle in '64 and another, ,.
W. H. Merritt, a nephew whop
was raised in this family, was
shot down by my side in Decern- p
ber. '64. 11
We learn that a few of the i
voters of this section threatened
to leave this State if Manning'!
was elected, but we have missed
no one yet. Maybe they have ?
reconsidered the matter.

Will Run if Finley Doesn't. i
A recently published item re- ,
ferring to the possible candidacy j
of Hon. W. R. Bradford, of this J
city, for congressman in 1918, t
has caused him to issue a state-; i
ment in which he says that he '
undoubtedly will be a candidate t
for congressional honors two !
years hence if the incumbent, D. i
E. Finley, does not stand for re- 1
election from the Fifth district. ,
Resolution* of Respect.

the Woman's Missionary Society <>f
the M. E. church, record the passing
away of one of our most faithful and , (
loyal members, Mrs. W. 1'. Yarborou^h.

but her last days were sweet, for she 1
trusted in the Lord, and she was ever
submissive to His will, and we know
that she has gone to peaceful rest with v
her Heavenly Father. Therefore, be
it resolved: 1
1st. That", as a Society, we have lost
i%rnf rtur mnaf * l;t i -
v? WM* Iiivov imviuui, 11IWC1V liumui I
and most consecrated members, and her c
memory will ever he dear to each of us.
2d. That we extend our deepest sympathy
to the prief stricken husband and f
children in this, their time of deep sorrow,
and commend them to the loving b
care of the Heavenly Father, who is
able to keep them 111 every hour of 2
trouble. I
3d. That these resolutions be recorded
i;i our minutes, a copy sent to
the bereaved family, and to the Fort L
Mill Times and the Christian Advocate a
for publication. t
