Bonds for Slreets.
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. I

Churches Nay Have Movies.
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.
