OCT. 2. 1919. f The Times is much interested , t in what the Yorkville Enquirer has to say in regard to the a erection of the' bridge across v Catawba river in this township, the item appearing in another c column of this paper. We have c been cold-footed on this propo- 1 sition since it was first sup:- 'C gosted for the reason that we ^ don't believe it will be worth a J. tinker's dam to a very large [ majority of York county people, v and, since it seems probable c that the measure will have to come up in the next General Assembly, if the necessary amount of money is subscribed by this county, we hope the York delegation will lose no time in putting a stick of dynamite g under it. c V, The need of dwelling houses \ in Fort Mill has never, in our c recollection, been as great as at 1 present. One property owner i whose rented house was ex- s pected to be vacant within a short time has had at ieast a dozen applicants, and we hear that one of the leading citizens { of the town is likely to move J away because the house which 1 he is occupying has recently , been sold and he is unable to | secure other living quarters. ( The men of our town who are , able ought to build some houses ' and relieve this situation. i ? ? i And, by the way, the York- 1 ville Enquirer, already the lead- 1 ing county paper in the State, 1 has recently installed a modern ' perfecting press. Asaresultof ; this The Enquirer now appears in 8-page form, giving it a great deal more space and adding very much to the appearance of the i paper! Editor Grist is a newspaper man in every sense of the word and his paper comes about < as near containing only that which the reading public seeks as any journal which comes this way. It is a little funny that one Pun Itllir U nop 1/ nf o vmii mv?j u vi O f* WV ^VtflWiCD at one of the local groceries for 65 cents and then step a few' doors and buy the same Roods for 60 cents a peck, and sliced ham can be bought at 50 cents a pound tfhile others sell it at 60 cents a pound. Is it because some wish to get rich quicker than the others? The promoters of the York County Fair are leaving nothing undone, it would seem, to make the fair this year the most successful of any yet held. "* Gloomy Prospect for Bridge. The prospect of the construction of a bridge across the Catawba river between York and Mecklenburg counties is anything but bright. It is reroonably certain that nothing will be done until there is either further legislation or Mecklenburg agrees to pay more than two-thirds of the cost. Here is the situation, as obtained from Supervisor Bovd: Thp p?ti mated cost of a steel bridge of fifteen tons capacity at Wright's Ferry or just a little north of the Ferry is about $75,000. The estimated cost at the next available site to the north is $85,000 and the estimated cost of a bridge at Boyd's Ferry is about $97,000 The legislature has authorized the expenditure of $20,000 by York county, if so " much be necessary, ar d on that basis Mecklenburg is pledged to pay $40,000, making $60,000 which, according to the present outlook is $16,000 too little. But these cost figures be it understood, deal only with estimates. ' V ft is possible that the figures 'J$ might be reduced by .actual Liudir.g. - Yorkville Enquirer. Ha VA ~ bjfr ''.

The strike which had been on it the Aragon and Arcade mills for several weeks past was terminated Friday by the signng of *pi agreement by both of die sides, and the operatives of poth mills returned to their places in the two mills on Satjrday under that agreement. This agreement was made with the members of the local textile J jnion. The National Textile Union is in nowise recognized by ! Lhe management of these two j mills, and this is understood by Lhe workers interested in the settlement. The management lias always been willing to treat nommittees from their operatives j but declined to treat with out-| side representatives. And on r.his point the management has won. The dispute's Settlement hasi carried with it no increase of wages, but rather an equaliza tion. Tne hours of labor remain the same?55 hours for the weeks' work. ? Rock Hill Record.

L ' Birthf and Deithi in State. During the first six months of |919, the total number of births of white infants in South Carolina was 9,670. The number of births of white infants "for the first six months of 1918 was 9,386, which shows that the number of white births for 19191 was 284 more than for the same 1 period of time in 1918. Negro births for the same periods of time showed a falling off to the extent of 1.023. During the first six mcnths of 1919, the number of births of negro infants in South Carolina was 10,255. During the first six months of 1918 the number, of negro births was 11,278. Comparative death rates for infants of the two races for the first six months of 1918 and for 1919 show that the white race showed a decrease while the negro race showed an increase. In 1918 the death rate for white infants under one year of age was 94.7 per 1,000 births. In 1919, the rate was 88.4 per 1,000 births. With the negro race, the deaths for six months in 1918 among infants under one year of a*.e was 169.4 per 1,000 births. In 1919 for : h 1 some period of tin e the statistics show that the dcuiti rate among negroes was 17G 9 per 1,000 births. ^ * I A typical "plney-woods rooter" one year old.
