To see what really happens at the end of the good road, a public road specialist of the department of roads recently had observations made in different sections of the country. The observers noted many countrybound teamsters who drove two loaded wagons, hitched one behind the other, to the end of the good road, and then found it necessary to leave one wagon by the roadside to be returned for later, while all the power of fhpir tpams was devoted to haul ing a single wagon over the unimproved road. Farmers bound for the market frequently were seen to haul wood and similar products to the beginning of the good road, there dumping them, and re turning for a second load. When this arrived, the two loads were consolidated and easily hauled by a single team the remaining distance to market over the improved highway. In one section of the country where oxon are still used teamsters were observed to bring their loads over the dirt roads with two or three yokes of oxen. \\7Uam f Ua Kn/vinni nrr A f t V\n fTA/\/l i ??

(Rock Hill Record) The Record has heard a good bit of criticism of the Fair management for the carnival shows which exhibited here last week?particularly the "dance hall" yeclept "49." We do not know how bad that was, as we did not go inside, but it was evidently "rotten." The Yorkville Enquirer openly charges that whiskey was freely sold in this "dance hall" to all who had the price. We hope this charge is unfounded. The Fair directors were condemned last year for the lack of carnivals, and this year they are roasted because of them. We unhesitatingly express the conviction that our county fair can he run successfully without carnival attractions ? certainly without dirty and smutty shows. Better abandon the fair if such shows are necessary to success. There are no moral carnival shows. They are all more or less smutty and aim to appeal to the passions. We regret very 1 much the bad odor these carni-1 vals gave to our fair. Not one of them was fit to be witnessed by a woman. We hope the directors will profit by the experience. for we feel certain that 4 L ? v ?i. r- ... rr>_: L i iic i vi t\ vuumy r?ir can ue carried to success without the help of whiskey sellers, gamblers ! and dissolute women. If the directors of the Fair Association do not think so, they would do well to liquidate the organization. 35 Cent Stalk of Cotton. John J. Bailes exhibited on the streets of Fort Mill a few days ago a stalk of cotton from his Marjerbel farm on which were 84 bolls.

Attorney General Peeples has given out an opinion in which he holds that whiskey may be d^j livered at any time during the day or night, so long as it is not contraband, but is brought into in unnn urit) flw.

I * .. ihe "Boys" are Coming Home. The First Regiment, South Carolina National Guard, is ex pec ted to return from El Paso, Texas, where they have been on border dutj for four months, within the next ten days. The regiment will come to the State mobilization grounds at Camp Styx near Columbia and remain there until mustered out of the Federal service. It is thought this will take place in about two weeks. The First Regiment will likely be brought back via the Southern route, that is via San An: tonio, Texas, and New Orleans. ; They went out through Atlanta and Memphis while the Second Regiment went via New Orleans. The first will return by the Southern route and the second over the route which the first traversed in going to Texas. The First Regiment has won laurels while on border duty and they are practically as good as regulars. It will take between four and five days for the soldiers to make the trip from El Paso home and it will take several days to assemble the railroad equipment | necessary to transport them. | The regiment will move in three i sections, each section two hours apart. The boys will hardly get home before Thanksgiving and it will be nearly Christmas before they can be mustered out of service and returned to private life. All of the property has to be checked up and turned in and every detail attended to before Uncle o.,~. .~;ii j: :? *1 ociui win uii3iiii?>& uiern. The First Regiment is made up mostly from the up country. It consists of a machine gun company from Anderson, Captain Ramar, two infantry companies from Anderson, one under Captain Ligon and the other under Captain Henderson, the Butler Guards of Greenville under Captain Workman, the Smyth Rifles of Pelzer under Captain Heyward, the Hampton Guards of. Spartnnburg under Captain Justice, the Traynham Guards of Laurens under Captain Lee. the Union company under Captain Walker, the Camden company under Captain McLeod, the Iiartsville company under Captain Craig, the Cheraw company under Captain Gillespie, the Rock Hill company under Captain McFadden, the Fort Mill company under Captain Parks. York County News Matters. (Yorkvillc Enquirer.) Revs. Elzie Myers of Yorkville, and M. G. Latham of Sharon, were last week re-admitted to the Upper South Carolina conference of the Methodist church. Rev. James Ervin MahafTey, vvno succeeds rtev. Henry Stokes at Yorkville, is a native of Greenville county and is 52 years of age. He comes here from Batesburg. Bill Walker, the man who struck Mack Britton in the head with a scantling at King's Creek on hist Tuesday, has been arrested at Shelby, N. C., on the request of Sheriff Thomas of Cherokee, and the understanding is that he would go to the jail at Gaffrey without a requisition. Britton is still in the Fennell hospital at Rock Hill, and his condition continues quite serious. At the business meeting of the 113th annual convention of the A. R. P. Synod of the South here Friday afternoon, the church at Fayetteville, Tenn., was selected as the place for the next annual Ms,,,*;.... tU. T> I vr uicciiiiK ???u tnc ivuv. x. in. xvennedy, of Ora, Laurens county, was elected moderator. It was the concensus of opinion of all that the meeting of the Synod with the Yorkville church was one of the most pleasant and profitable meetings of the highest church court ever held. Quite a distressing accident occurred on the Yorkville-Clover road, near the residence of Mr. W. B. Keller, Saturday night when a Ford automobile, owned It m m ? oy mr. ,J. Forbes, the well known transfer man of Clover, and driven by Clarence Harvey, ran into a horse and buggy, the property of Walter Carroll of Yorkville. The horse was badly ! cut and the radiator of the car was broken and other damage to the extent of $50 was done. Apropos of the high price of cotton seed several gentlemen I over at Sharon, the other day recalled that they could well remember when seed were selling at 81-3 cents per bushel, ! and even less. "Why in those days," said Mr. J. H. Bigham who was in the party, "we didn't even know that they were good for fertilizer. I have many i a time known my folks to take a load home from the gin and haul them to the barn lot. If any one wanted to buy them he could have them at his own .price and even if Ire didn't want THE FORT M to buy he was invited to help himself to all he wanted. We fed the cows on them occasionally, but rarely ever would we haul them all away from the gin." Greenville Piedmont: A suit asking damages of $30,000 against the Southern railway and the firm of Holler & Hailey of Rock Hill, for the death of Mrs. Belle Phillips of York county, has been transferred to ; the Federal court, and will probably be tried in Greenville at an early term of the Federal court. The suit was brought originally in the court of common pleas of York county. The action is brought by Daniel C. McKenzie, administrator for the estate of Mrs. Belle Phillips. The defendants. L. L. Holler and C. H. Hailey, doing business as Holler cc nauey, operate automoDUes for public service in Rock Hill and between Rock Hill and towns? in the county. It is alleged that on June 15, 1916, Mrs. Phillips, accompanied by two minor children, were passengers in an automobile operated by the defendant Holler & Hailey, and that while crossing the tracks of the Southern railway, the automobile was struck by a train and Mrs. Phillips received such injuries shat the died a few hours after. Negligence on the part of the railway and the automobile operating firm is alleged. Austrian Emperor Dead. According to despatches in the papers yesterday, Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, died at 9 o'clock Tuesday night at Shoenbrunn castle in Vienna. Charles Francis Joseph, 29 years old, a grand nephew of the late emperor, is heir to the throne.
