ReDort is current that th? cotton pickers of this sectior propose to demand $1.60 pei hundred this /all. We imagine this will give the farmers something to think about, since the price of cotton is off so mud during the last ten days. City council of Fort Mill coulc serve the public well by drafting an ordinance to regulate the parking of automobiles and teams in Main street. At timet the street beeves impassible because of autos and teams alonp the sides and this is of greal inconvenience to other parties who wish to traverse the street. If you are a parent and have a child old enough to attend school you might as well see that it is present at the opening tomorrow morning. Tue compulsory attendance law says that all children between the ages of eight and 14 years shall attend school and the law is to be rigidly enforced in the Fort Mill school district. ? r Many people are wondering whv the streets of Fort Mill are not"given some attention. As a whole the streets are. we be lieve, in worse shape than they have ever been, and one shudders to contemplate the condition of the streets when the freezes of next winter come unless something is done for them before that time. All South Carolina is rejoicinp that Columbia won the "Sally League" penant this year.- Il ^was a close shave, Charlotte beipg only half a game behind the Comers, but "all's well that ends 4 well," and it is hoped that the Capital City will come out again nexr. season with a team as good if not better than the winners * xl _ i 1 or mis season s nonors. What has become of the proposed bond issue for permanent street improvements for Fort Mill? The last we saw of it was a petition in one of the local drug stores which had been signed by possibly half a dozen freeholders, calling for the necessary election. There is little doubt in our minds that the issue would carry if properly handled and some of our progressive citizens ought to take hold of it and push it through. We c^n never have a town without we have streets. Children Must Attend School. The compulsory school attendance law will be enforced in the Fort Mill school district for the entire term of nine months, according to a member of the losal school board of trustees. The new law provides that all pupils between the ages of 8 and 14 must attend school for the length of the school term. The school authorities are planning to enforce the law in both white and colored schools. The Fort Mill schools will open tomorrow (Friday) morning at 9 o'clock, at which time assignments to grades, and the lists of books tofce used will be gone through with, preliminary to the regular routine of school work which will begin Monday morning. Every parent of the district should see that every child of school age is present tomorrow morning at the opening hour. Books for the several grades and high school are on sale at Lytle's Drug store. Local ball fans are looking forward with interest to the two games to be played on the Fort Mill diamond tomorrow and Saturday afternoons between the locals and the Belmont: 24. CJ team. Pri;' %?

Several of the rural schools of r I York county are still without C 5 teachers, it is understood, al- b ? though the fall terms are sup- b : posed to begin within a few e ' weeks.
