Spratt of Fort Mill is expected to be one of the distinguished York county veterans of the World war to speak at a banquet of Catawba post, AmerLegion, in Rock Hill this Hvhacker" Smith, World war vflyran who was presented with distinguished service cross for gallantry in action with the Fort Mill company overseas, is decidedly of the opinion that the town council made a mistake in rescinding its action in postponing the municipal election until April 8. Mr. Smith is one of the big majority of Fort Mill citizens who are not qualified to vote in the election next Wednesday. mi m* _ a ine limes is picasea to aaa i this week to its list of advertisers the firms of A. O. Jones and Potts Supply company. Trie Jones store as will be seen byits advertisement is Fort Mill's oldest grocery. The Potts Supply company has recently added a line of furniture, in which business Mr. J. S. Potts, the proprietor, was for several years engaged. Town Election Wednesday. Next Wednesday, January 28, Fort Mill will elect a mayor, six aldermen, one from each ward and two at large; and a member of the public works commission Pjto succeeds. L. Meacham, whose j term has expired. At a special meeting of toWn council last Thursday evening the resolution passed by council two weeks ago postponing the election until April 8 was rescinded and the election ordered for January 28. The action of council in setting the new date for the election apparently brings to a close an unusual situation brought about by the ambiguous wording of a letter received a few weeks ago by Mayor B. E> Patterson from the attorney general's office relative to the registration laws. In the letter it was stated that 30 days must elapse between the issuance of a registration certificate and the town election. Council construed the opinion to mean both county and town jr^^fcKfigistration certificates, a meanL ly|HHMvhich it now seems the W , ^^^^^^^eneral's office did not believing the oninion ^H^^Hlng upon itself ordered th^n^Pbn postponed for three months. B. E. Patterson, present mayor of the town, is understood to have sold his interest in the Port Mill Wholesale grocery comnonv orif) loft- tfouorol rlovo om. for Memphis, Tenn., where it is said he will make his home.

Bradford, member of the house of representatives from York county, which it is thought will prove of interest to the readers of The Times: Kditor Evening Herald:? Sinre there seems to have been Rome misunderstanding in Roek Hill and perhaps elsewhere in York county over the motion I made in the house of representatives last Wednesday to postpone on sideration of an amended bill introduced in the house last session by Mr. Belser fo Sumter fixing the compensation of members of the state highway commission, 1 would be grateful to you to allow me u> nuiKe tne iollowing statement in the KvtVmg Herald with reference to iny motive in making the motion: Like many other members of the houae 1 am anxious to assist in the passage of a good roads bill at the present session of the general assembly. With thin end in view and to try* to provent a repetition of the fight similar to the one we had in the house last year, it occurred to me and to other members of the house that the best thing to do was to start the session with a brand new good roads bill, which is now in course of preparation and which, it is hoped will meet with the approval of both houses of the general assembly. I await the opportunity to vote for a good rouds bill, fair to all sections of the state; or, for that matter, to vote for nil unfuir "good" roads bill similar to at least one "good" roads bill introduced in the house last year if the people of York county wish me to do so. It isn't necessary for mo to say, except for the saying, that I have no person^ interest in this matter; but if I am left to exercise my own judgment it will be aguitist a niisbranded "good'' roads bill designed to upbuild and put money in the pockets of the people of one section of the state at the expense of the people of all other sections of the state. 1 should like to see York county treated fnirly in Btatc road legislation. Am I wrong in this solic*?..a~ f? u? :-a ? *1 iuuc iui me uiiercain 01 cue county or | should I support any sort of measure, however dishonest and selfish it may be, aimply becauao it bear* a "good roads" label? What did the people of York county artul me to the house for?to try to see that they got justice in statewide legislation or to help aaddlc anything and everything proposed on thcmf If a state highway bill proposed at the 11)10 session of the general assembly had become law York county certainly would not liavo been treated fairly tinder it, in my judgment, though it would have meant tens of thousaiids of dollar* :n the pockets of certain interests, part GINNINGSE The Fort Mill Ginnery will January 28, one day only. ^ day's ginning of the season.

When the gen cral assembly met last Tuesday wi found thin bill, bearing Mr. Belser'i name, on the house calendar. Printer copies of the, bill were not put on th< desks of the house members this yeai and not a great muny perhaps recalled if they ever knew, just what was in it Isist Wednesday morning before th< house, began its session for th< day a number of members who art interested in the passage of good road? legislation held an informal meeting anc agreed that the best thing to do in \h< interest of such legislation was to mak< a new start by postponing the amended lielser bill and submitting a new good roads bill. I was asked to make th< motion for postponment and did so. 1 hope I have made my position on thii matter plain. 1 ask your indulgence for one other ob serration: This is the sixth session 1 have sat in the house as a member foi York county. 1 have takeu my dutiet seriously, proof of which is found in the fact that I have not missed a session of the body since my service began. All the votes 1 have cast as a member of thi house have been disinterested, and as 1 am not a candidate for re-election 1 hope you will permit mo to say, especially to the people of Rock Hill, that I do not believe my service has been without some good results. For one thing, I invite attention to the Winthrop college appropriation for 1010 and suggest that perhaps I had something to do with it. Very respectfully vours, W. R. BRADFORD.

Many sunpJs ailments undermine a child's health, preventing phfskel and mental progress if not corrected. A simple, harmless and yet most effective prapaontiss for children's use is Milk of Magnesia. Doctors - recommend it as an antacid and mild laxative. Colie, flatulence, constipation, biliousness, intestinaJ indigestion, dyspeptic diarrhea and hives, are a few of the mmy children's ailments which are promptly relieved by wriag e it according to directions. * Rexa.ll Milk of Magnesia is best. It n may < times more effective as an antacid than lime water sod it is mildly laxative. Lime water on the other hand is osbstipating, a condition we should avoid when giving children medicine. It is superior to chalk, as the latter amstipates and causes flatulence. Bicarbonate of Soda baa a disagreeable taste and often causes flatulence and aaaaaa. Rexall Milk of Magnesia has none of these disadvantage*. Solid forms of magnesia are not entirely soluble sad stay cause dangerous concretions during continued use. Recall Milk of Magnesia is entirely soluble in tha aaids sf the stomach and intestines and possesses all the vffcfcass with none of the disadvantages of the solid fortna. Use Milk of Magnesia wherever an antacid or laxativa is indicated. You will safeguard your children's health.. Rexall Milk of Magnesia is made in full U. 8 Pharmacopoeia strength and purity and by a process peculiar t* this brand alone which makes it a most elegant sad staabis compound; almost tasteless, it is pleasant to bake, highly efficacious and reliable and not in any way injurious.
