W. Boyd, county supervisor, the ^ road from the incorporate limits of the town to the bridge across ju Catawba river has recently been tv resurfaced and now is in much lt| better shape than formerly. The cl I road has, however, yet to be shaped up and leveled and it is tel hoped that Supervisor Boyd will ftl find time to do this work within sc the next few days. The material cc used for resurfacing the road is v< r a mixture of gravel and clay and u< ^ ^ i . - was gotten from the plantation of Edgar Jones just east of the ^ , river bridge, and this mixture makes an excellent road, once it is leveled and packed. It strikes The Times that the town of ^ Fort Mill could use some of this gravel-clay to a great advantage on the bad places in the streets, tj( Mr. Jones has "oceans" of the dirt and we imagine it could be sc put along the streets at no great ei cost. What does council think of this suggestion? y = ? cc Fort Mill is coming. During w the last few weeks we have had w opened in t he town a well-stocked w wholesale grocery and now we cc come forward' with a modern ^c plant for the manufacture of ice. j? ^ The latter is being operated by ^ Oscar T. Culp, in the rear of his j storeroom on Main street, and wifl fill another of the town's needs. The plant has a capacity w of three tons per day, ordinary q run, and can be increased at tr will. If someone experienced in the business would open a laun- sj dry to take care of the house- in , wife's worries when the wash al woman goes on strike, we would a feel just a bit more like we were fo living in 1919, instead of 1890. Every now and then you strike a man who is honest. We heard F< of a man the other day selling R( b'eef steak from a wagon on m Main, street at 25 cents per ^ pound. tr Tl Better cut out some of the luxuries and lay aside a little hi cash. The bottom is liable to w drop out one of these days. n< 24 oume people nave yet 10 learn eu that a newspaper can't be run ?f on hot air and sweet promises. jP This is an excellent time of ^ the year to buy a pig for next ju ? year's hog. W1 What Say You About This? sU The public schools of South of Carolina are crowding the same T1 elementary studies into seven a years which the majority of the pci States take eight years to com- in plcte, and in addition, run the M schools from 9 o'clock in the tr< morning until 2o'clock in the at- w< * ternoon, while the States in he question run their daily session ~~ over seven hours, or two hours i" more daily, Luceo Gunter, State superintendent of rural schools, will say in his annual report to John E. Swearingen, State superintendent of education, to be transmitted to the general assembly. The South Carolina system, Mr Gnnter will atato ~ ? - ..... vowkv, icijunca a | large amount of home study g preparation, many times a "bone I of contention" and the teacher | must make the daily session of I ? iiool one of classroom recita- J tion, and little time is given the pupils for preparation. This system, he will contend, has in many cases caused the "parents n> claim* that they do the teaching and that the leathers merely hear the pupils recite." All during the war the York I county jail was practically emp- 1 ty. There were times when the do>rs swung wide open. But v,ince the war the jail has been kept pretty full.

The following from The Yorkville Enquirer would indicate that our neighbor town has put the ban on all carnivals: There will be no carnivals in Yorkville this fall or winter despite the fact that there is plenty of money in the country and there are plenty of people who are just raring for a chance to give some of it Io the gents who conduct carnivals. The town council had the matter up for discussion some time ago, and every member of the council was of the opinion that carnivals were not a good thing for the town, hence the decree ruling them out.
