[- - ' Thank You, Mr. Boyd.
U nder the supervision of Thos.
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.

Better cut out some of the

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. There were 13
prisoners in jail Sunday. i

Hats Off to York.
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.
