Hvhacker" Smith, World war

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.

business Mr. J. S. Potts, the

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April 8 was rescinded and the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

of the town, is understood to

The Rock Hill Evening Herald
Tuesday afternoon published the
following communication- from
W, R. 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

IwbthW word or Ivo, if mm , pita*
> about the amsnded Belser biH. A*
i bill, to Ax the compensation of the mem
bers of the highway commission, hi
year. The bill passed the house aai
was sent to the senate, not as a Ugh
way bill, but once in the senate a lit
tie legislative sleight of hand was prac
ticed and the bill returned to the hou*
a full fledged "good" roads measure
which, so far as I am informed, hai
never been referred to a house committei
for upproval or rejection. 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.

SAFEGUARD YOUR ^ J
CHILDREN'S HEALTH Y
This is always of vital importance. 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. B?
sure to get Rexall Milk of Magnesia at the RacsH Dvag
Store, as it is not obtainable at any other.
