THURSDAY, OCT, 9, 1919.
Oh, Joy!
Just when we had about concluded
that Supervisor Thos. W.
Boyd had forgotten there was a
Fort Mill township in York
county, the Yorkville Enquirer
comes along with this joyful bit
of news:
"Supervisor Thos. W. Boyd
said Saturday that the chaingang
would spend some time in
shaping up the road between
Catawba river and the town of
Fort Mill in Fort Mill township.
After this work is completed it
is proposed to move the chaingang
to the road between Rock
Hill and Lesslie."
Protect Your Cotton.
Farmers who are not selling
' their cotton as soon as it is
ginned should store it in a warehouse
or at least shelter it from
the weather.
It is estimated that cotton
growers in America are losing
every year about $30,000,000
from weather damage to cotton
left unstored or unsheltered.
The estimate is conservative, for
every bale left in the open loses
enough "picking" to represent
3>z.ou. ureater losses are irequent.
An instance that is not far
from typ'cal concerns a baie that
was left exposed to wind and
weather for six months. The
bale lost 76 pounds, which at
23 cents is $17.48. Southern
farmers should store their cotton
and stop this unnecessary and
inexcusable waste.
To Prevent Fires.
The entire premises should be
cleaned up, all trash and rubbish
removed or buried in the ground,
including oiiv rairs. used to clean
the automobile or polish thottoors.
Chimneys and flues
should be carefully examined
both above roof and between
ceiling and roof?if any sign of
smoke issues from joints have
new flue built. Look carefully
after shingle roofs, if found to
be weathered or fuzzy better
have fire resisting roof put on at
once.
Discuss with members of the
family, especially the children
and servants, the danger of
matches and all appliances using
gas or oil as fuel?impress upon
all the danger in careless use of
kerosene and gasoline. Under
proper conditions one gallon of
gasoline equals 83 pounds of
dynamite in explosive force.
State, county and township
officers and others operating
together scoured a large portion
of Broad River township in a
hunt for illicit distilleries last
Wednesday. Their only capture
was a worm, part of an outfit
which had done business at some
time or other but was not actively
engaged at the time of
seizure. No arrests were made
and no liquor was captured.

giving, provided they attend the b>

"York is the worst moonshining
county in my district," in
said District State Constable A

discussing the illicit liquor traffic
the other day. "There are nine r
counties in the district and York
is the worst in point of violations
of the liquor laws with
Cherokee a close second. It is
a man's job to keep up with
violators of the law in York I
county alone and the State only
provides two officers for nine {
counties."

Visit the State Fair
It's Worth While.
Are you coming to the State Fair, October 27-31?' If not, why
not? = -?I
The South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society which
promotes the State Fair is this year celebrating its semi-centennial.
For fifty years the society has sought to better agricultural
conditions in the State and to encourage the breeding of better
livestock, cattle and hogs. No fair was held last year because of
war conditions. Consequently energies are being redoubled this
year to make the fair an extraordinary success.
Read below a partial list of the opportunities to procure preiiiiujns
and some of the other attractions. Then determine to visit
the fair, one day at least. Reduced rates will be offered by all
the ruilioads. Keep these things in mind:
1. The fair opens at 9 o'clock Monday morning, October 27.
2. Monday afternoon. Field day and rough riding races by
soldiers from Camp Jackson. Thursday night two opposing forces
jf soldiers will engage in night attacks, vividly producing a Western
front engagement. Tanks and field pieces will have part in
the attack.
3. Tuesday is "Legion Day," when the first meeting of the
South Carolina branch of the American Legion of Honor will be
held in the hall of the House of Representatives.
4. Wtdnesday and Thursday a number of purses for $200 each
will be raced for by South Carolina horsemen.
0. Krause's aggregation of 20 shows, one big ring circus and
hippodrome will iurnish an attractive and varied program ot entertainment
during the off hours.
7. Twice each day free acts are also given for the benefit of the
fair crowds. The Delcim ad Troupe will give a wonderful exhibition
of seven posing scenes. The Earle sisters will execute dari'.g
feats on double flying ladders. Pollard's educated horse will
givo an interesting demonstration of that rare quality of "uncommon
horse sense."
8. Seventy-two woikers in the farm and home demonstration
forces will have displays from practically every county in South
Carolina. Two car loads of exhibits will come from Clemson College
alone. % "
9. If you have no pure bred cow or hop:, you will want one when
you exemine the preminm lists being offered in these classifications.
The premiums in these two classes exceed $10,000.00.
10. Breeders of fine poultry will have the greatest collection of
birds ever assembled in the State. Seven silver trophy cups are
to be awarded, in addition to the usual premiums.
11. The Federal Government will send the greatest collection of
exhibits ever sent out to tour the country. In this will be many
trophies of the Great War, including small guns of every kind
used on the western front. Twd freight cars will be necessary to
move this collection and 8,000 sauare feet of floor snarp will Hp
necessary to set them up.
