York county's handsome new
concrete ar.d steel bridge over
Catawba river was thrown open
to public use on Tuesday, There
were no ceremonies attendant
upon the opening of the bridge.
The opening of this bridge means
a saving in travel of some four
or five miles between Fort Mill
and Rock Hill, the distance between
the two towns by the new
route being slightly more than
seven miles, while by the old
bridge, or ferry, the distance
was estimated at between 12 and
13 miles. The county chaingang
came over last week, we are
told, and put the road east of
the river in good shape, and,
with the new road between the
river and Rock Hill lately worked
over, the highway between the
I two towns is now said to be good.

As a result of a resolution of i
city council to dispense with one 1
of the town's police officers. Of- '
ficer R. L. Broom will on May 1 i
retire from duty as a member of
tha local police force.
Mr. Broom came to Fort Mill i
from Union about 18 months ago
to accept his present position.
Prior to this, he had had several
years' experience in police and j
detective work. During his res- ,
idence here, Mr. Broom has ,
proven himself an excellent citizen,
a man of pood judgment,
and a fair and fearless officer who 1
has discharged his duties with ,
impartiality and to the entire j
satisfaction of the city govern-I
ment. His mat y friends in Fort
Mill and the township regret that j
he probably will tind it necessary 1
to seek employment elsewhere.
Soldiers Weil Safeguarded.
Uncle Sam is making every
effort to protect and care for
the soldiers in his army, and
fond parents and friends at home
need have no fear as to the welfare
of their loved ones in tvnin
ing camps here and on duty
abroad. In a war department
bulletin ju^t issued, it is noted
that further steps are being
taken to make the soldier happy
and to protect his morals.
The bulletin states that the
following articles will be issued
free to each enlisted man
ordered to duty in Europe: A
razor, a* small stool mirror, a
shaving brush, a clothes brush
and a shoe brush to every squad
of eight men. When these

hey will be replaced without
L'ost to the soldier. The thousinds
of men now in uniform and

in the sei vice will welcome these
announcements, as the articles
ire of gnat value to men in
France, according to those who
ire there now.
The "folks back home" will
iilso welcome another announcement
that restrictions concerning
the sale of intoxicating liquors
to soldiers and sailors will be
strictly enforced, as the morals
:>1' the-fighting men will be safeguardt
d as much as possible.
No alcoholic liquors, including
beer, ale and wine shall be sold
jr given to soldiers, except when
administered by the medical
authorities for medicinal purposes,
and provided that tins
regulation shall not apply to the
jiving or serving of such liquors J
in a private home to members of |
Lhe family or bona fide guests.
\ 5-mile zone has been estabished
around every camp and
post, and no alcoholic drinks
may be sold or given from one
person to-another in these zones.
The penalties for violation of
these rules are heavv. thus
giving further protection to the .
morals of the soldiers, marines
and sailors. 1
One Year of War.
America on Saturday closed
her first year of the war with a
greater force in Europe than the
government officials had dreamed
it would he possible to transport
across the seas.
With the navy doing much to
choke down the U-Boat menace
and with the troop movement
spurred to the iin it and America
pledged to go through to the
bloody end, the government
today looks -ahead confidently,
although it is realized the task is
a mighty one and the end is,
perhaps, far in the future.
Some delays and someblunderings
have necessarily occurred,
hut despite these, the army
