THURSDAY. 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

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

Rock Hill Strike Ends.
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.

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.
