The Filbert Picnic.
Thj Enquirer, Friday.
"If it hadn't been for the
money interests of England,
America would not be in war
today. I am of the opinion that
America should and could still
have peace with Germany and
not war. I don't believe this
war was necessary. If money
is eorruntincr Christianity and T
believe it is, as it is corrupting
your editors and many other
men, what is the country coming
to? But they say this is treason.
If it is treason let it be," declared
former Governor Cole L.
Blease, who was the centre of
attraction at the Filbert picnic,
held in Purslcy's woods yesterday.
It was a tremendous crowd at ,
Filbert, probaply the largest that
has ever attended one of the
annual gatherings there. Rep- i
resentatives of every section of
York county and the State of
South Carolina was the audience, i
and there were hundreds from i
across the North Carolina line.
Only two speeches were made,
one by Congressman Stevenson,
the other by former Governor
Bleasc; the other invited speakers
for various reasons being <
unable to attend. Fully 2,000
people gathered around the
speakers' stand in the centre of
the woods to hear them. It was
an undemonstrative audience,
and one which listened with
respectful silence to every word
that was uttered. Occasionally
during the address of Mr. Blease,
he was interrupted by a yell of
"Hurrah for Colie," or "You
tell 'em, Colie" but the old time
Fildert fire and enthusiasm was
lacking. What little applause
there was, the former governor
got, and when he concluded his
address scores of his friends and
political supporters shook hands
with him.
There were no less than 5,000
people at the picnic and very
probably there were 8,000. The'
crowd began to arrive early in i
the morning, and as usual,!
scattered all over the village, j
Congressman St3venson gave it
as his opinion that there were
5,000 people present: former
Governor Blease said 8,000; estimates
of other judges varied
from 5,000 bo 10,000. Good
order, quite characteristic of
Filbert picnics of recent years at
least, was prevalent and there
was little evidence of liquor.

AN ORDINANCE
Requiring Motor Vehicles to Stop at
Certain Points Within the Town of
Fort Mill, Before Proceeding:
Be it ordained by the Mayor and
Aldermen of the town of Fort Mill in
council assembled and by authority of

motorcycles, or other motor
vehicles, are required to come to a full

of Trade ana Confederate streets, near
postoffice building, and at the junction

lating the provisions of this ordinance
shall, upon conviction, be fined not
exceeding ten dollars or be imprisoned
not more than thirty days.
Sec. 3. All ordinances or parts of
ordinances inconsistent with this ordinance

Done and ratified in council assembled

B. E. PATTERSON.
Attest: Mayor.
W. A. ROACH. Clerk.
Woodrow Wilson
Has made this statement: "If a
man does not provide for his
children, if he does not provide
for all those dependent upon him,
and if he has not that vision of
things to come, and that care for
the days which have not yet
dawned, which we sum up in the
whole idea of thrifty and saving,
then he has not opened his eyes
to any adequate conception of
human life. We are in this
world to provide not for ourselves
but for others, and that is
the basis of economy.''
A life insurance policy in the
Union Central is the safest, best
and cheapest mode of provision
for your dependents and of accumulating
savings for yourself,
thus in one means accomplishing
two ends.
Let me prove it.
