| No one perhaps regrets moi
1 than President Wilson himse
the circumstances which promp
ed him to request the resignatic
^ . of Secretary Lansing. Mr. Lai
f* sing filled the post of secretai
of state with distinguished abilit
and his retirement from th
cabinet creates a vacancy to fi
which with a man of equal a
tainments will require the exe
cise of much discrimination. Bt
. With ^all his ability, Lansin
showed inexcusable weaknei
when he imagined he could bio
hot and cold with the presiden
'when he thought he could "g<
away" with his effort to usui
the president's prerogative t
calling cabinet meetings durin
the president's illness last yea
He should have voluntarily r<
signed some time ago when 1
found his views did not accoi
with those of the president an
saved himself the humiliatic
of being forced out of offic*
President Wilson is hard to mi
lead, as Lansing and others no
know to their sorrow. Di
loyalty is one of the things sui
to lead up to the undoing of tl
official who attempts it on tl
president.
Man cannot live without foo<
air is no more essential to h
wellbeing. If it be admitte
that this is a fact, will it n<
also be admitted that all men c
not find it necessary to eat i
the same time and that it
unreasonable to expect them 1
do so? No sane man is apt 1
rise up and ask to be quoted I
the contrary. Therefore we ai
wondering by what sort <
reasoning the town council <
Port Mill reached the conclusic
that it was in the interest <
orderly government for it 1
undertake to deny men food c
undertake to regulate their ai
petites for food.
Governor Cox of Ohio doub
less would make a good pres
dent and The Times hopes h
will be elected if he iB nom
nated by the Democrats, but hi
boom is not apt to made muc
headway in South Carolina wit
John Gary Evans sponsor-ii
chief for it in this State.
May Lengthen Hunting Season.
South Carolina sportsmen ma
get some more time for hunting
if the legislature passes the garr
b|H now on the calendars. Th
mea8nre has been passed by th
House and \yill likely get to th
Senate for consideration th
Week.
The bill would postpone th
opening and closing dates of th
South Carolina hunting seaso
for one month, making Marc
l?th instead of February 15t
the closing date for huntin
qaail. The season would ope
Thanksgiving Day.
If the bill passes within th
next week or ten days and i
signed by the governor, it wi
allow hunting again between th
date on which the governc
signs the act and the 15th c
March. Sportsmen among th
legislators are anxious to see th
bill become an act.
The above measure was passe
yesterday and signed by th
governor, extending the huntin
season until March 15.

S Street Bonds for Fort Mill l
The house of representatives \
last week passed and sent to the ?
m. senate a- bill to empower the 1
town of Fort Mill to issue bonds j
for street improvements not to i
exceed $30,000, to create a com- 1
mission, composed of Dr. J. L. \
Spratt, L. A. Harris and N L. i
Carothers, for the expenditure
of the proceeds thereo4', and ?
names A. L. Parks secretary to j
the commission. The commls- <
sioners are to receive no salary i
for their services, but the secre- 1
tarv is to be paid $200 annually. '
This bill is independent of the ,
M action, of the town council of i
Fort Mill which at a recent 1
^ session ordered an election to 1
j it provide for a similar bond issue. |
It is now understood that town i
council will take no further steps 1
in the matter, but will rely upon ;
? the commission to be created by J
_ the bill in the Legislature to im- <
" prove the streets of the town.
_ At an informal meeting of the '
proposed commissioners a day or j
"e two ago it was agreed that the I
If election on the bond issue will 1
t- be held at the earliest practica- 1
m ble date, taking into account the j
law requiring the necessity of ;
1_ giving every citizen of the town ;
*y an opportunity to secure both a
y county and municipal registra- ,
ie tion certificate. Every provision ,
j] of the general election laws will 1
be rigidly observed in the bond
l~ election.
r_ Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the bill
it are as follows: I
|l? * "After the approval of this act said
K commission Bhall submit to the qualified
38 electors, after Riving at least three i
w weekB' notice thereof in some news- i
