Not in the past 35 years, to ] our certain knowledge, have the streets of Fort Mill been in worse shape in the spring season than they are at present, nor do we believe that there ever has been a time in the history of the town when_a greater percentage of the residents were eager for street improvement. But street improvement costs money and lots of it at present, and from what we understand the town hasn't much money on hand to expend on street work. Then, apparently, the only hope of getting money for street improvement would be to fioat an issue of bonds for the purpose. There has been some talk recently of launching a campaign for such an issue, but no one seems ready to take the initiative in the movement, and nothing more than talk has been done up to this time. Now, good people, some residents will throw up their hands in horror at the idea of putting the town in debt for street work, or for any other improvements, for that matter, but it must be borne in mind that we are not different from other places in this respect. Human nature is the same in all civilized communities, and every town has its knockers and stumbling blocks, but there is reason for thanks when the test comes this class is usually in the minority. It is the writer's observation that, the town which does not go in to debt and keep up with the procession of progress never amounts to much. The thing for our progressive men to do is to get together on the street proposition; launch the campaign; talk bonds and vote them in an amount sufficient to build permanent streets and we believe F?rt Mill will go forward as she has never gone before. An Invitation. To the Hon. Thos. W. Boyd, supervisor of York county: You are cordially invited to visit Fort Mill any day which is most convenient to you. The drinks are on us. We will then "tin-lizzy" out two miles east of town where you may see a stretch of road and a creek bridge (if we don't fall through in going over), the condition of which is likely to result in a heavy damage suit against the county, if immediate repairs are not made. Now, do come, Mr. Boyd; we'll be looking for you. In the Thick of It. All of us were in the thick of it, because all of us were doing our very best to accomplish victory. All of us, however, do not hear the marks. Whether in the uniform or not, every American responded to the appeal of the country and early peace was the reward. Some nave their lives. Many bear marks that signify sacrifice of a less degree. A scar is what a large number of them received from their part in the war. If your part had to be financial assistance, you were in the thick of it also. Do you, however, bear any mark as the result of your sacrifice, or, is a substantial | bank account, accumulated by j the war's lesson in economy, I what you received from your part in the war? Americans have done their part wonderfully. All are not distinguished by scars, thanks! to the .-pint with which the na-; tion entered the fight. Keep up the spirit, especially at this time, and make the Victory Liberty Loan the greatest victory in government loans.

State Superintendent of Education Swearingen has apportioned the $200,000 appropriated by the general assembly at its recent session for the assistance of needy school districts throughout the State.

A party of prominent Methodists, headed by Dr. C. R. Reisner, and representing Methodist-Episcoal churches, have gone to Los Angeles, Cal., for the purpose of studying the making of motion pictures with the view of introducing pictures in the churches throughout the country. It is the plan of Dr. Reisner and his co-workers to raise a fuuci of one hundred and twenty million dollars for the purchase of entertainment devices to be placed in the churches, tinprincipal feature of the program being motion pictuies. If this plan is carried through every Methodist church of the lane will be equipped with a pro jection machine where educa tional and such other release.' as are decided upon, may bt shown to the members and theii friends. It is the plan of tin church workers to give the young people a place of amusemeni that will hold their attention. Motor Company Awards Prizes.
