End of the Good Road.
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.

roads was reached, the teamsters
would unhitch the extra animals
and finish their journey with a
single yoke.
They Are Always Bad.
(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

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. The cotton is of
the Mexican Big Boll variety

which were planted late last
spring in clover sod, the cotton
now opening freely. He estimates
that at the present market
price, the value of the cotton
on this particular stalk is about
85 cents.
Whiskey Delivery at Night.
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.

has not yet said.

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

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.
