Telephone, local and long dlstnnce, No. 112. Kntered at the postofflce at Fort Mill, S. C., ns mall matter of the second class. TIIIJKSOAY, JUIiY 29. 1920. The responsibility for the enforcement of low and order In Fort Mill la placed by council largely upon the shoulders of the mayor. A reasonable conclusion therefore is that the mayor should have a large voice In the selection of the police officers of the town. If officers are chosen with whom the mayor cannot work In harmony, the town suffers to thnt extent. Some weeks ago council passed a traffic ordinance designed in the main to protect the public from the dangers of reckless motor vehicle driving. The ordinance has been honored more in the breach than In the observance, due, it Is claimed, to the failure of the officer charged with the rounding up of law violators to bring cases against them. The mayor's hands were tied; he had no authority to make changes In the police force. This authority should he given hint. Whatever may he said of Mr. Aryan's attitude toward Governor Cox and the platform adopted at San Francisco, the Democratic party Is fortunate that he refused to accept the nomination for the presidency offered him a few days ago by the prohibitionists at Dincoln, Nob. Mr. Bryan seems to have lost most of his following in the South and It. would have made little difference In this section if he had become the.candidate of the prohibitionists, but another story would have been told by the election returns in tthe Central West and perhaps in other sections of the country where he still can command many votes and where his strength would have been more largely drawn from Governor Cox than from Senator Harding. Neither the Democratic party nor the Democratic nominee owe Mr. Bryan a vote of thanks, however, for refusing to run for the presidency on the prohibition ticket, lie more than any living man is indebted to the Democratic party. Had he not been nominated for the presidency by the party in Chicago in 1890 and twice subsequently for the olliee the chances are that he long since would have dropped from pub in? nonce nnn 01 course never would have attained the prominence he has enjoyed for the last quarter century.

It would have been ingratitude of the rankest kind had he become the leader of the prohibitionists in opposition to Governor Cox. SERMON MOVES A SLAYER. Youth Coafi'iatrs to Mustier of Mother Seven Years Ago "Arise and confess your Bins!" shouted the Itcv. G. R. N. Sharpe, evangelist, in appealing to a revival meeting at Salem, Grey county. Ont. Arnold Love. 21 years old. an industrious and respected farmer, arose ami confessed to murdering his mother seven years ago, u crime for which his father was hanged on circumstantial evidence. Love told the story of his struggle of seven years to still the voice of a guilty conscience. The murder of Mrs. Henry I^ove was of the most liriitnl nhjtrn?>tnr Hor body was found in the cellur of their farm, her head battered and her throat cut. Arnold. 14 years old at the time, never was suspected. "I was just eating breakfast." Love said, describing: the murder, "when my m9ther warned me to avoid keeping bad company. "I grabbed a stick ot wobd and hit her over the head. I dragged the body to thd cellar and covered it with earth and then went to school." Young Love was one of the principal witnesses against his father,Henry Love, who wns convicted by a jury and hanged at Owen Sound. Ont. While the evidence against him had been mostly circumstantial, on the scaffold the father made what was believed to be a confession of his guilt. On advice of the evangelist lx>ve gave himself up to the police, who are investigating his story. Where llonrd is t'licap. It is refreshing in these days of high prices to learn that somewhere it is possible to get one's daily bread and its accompaniments at a low figure. says The Christian Science Monitor.

There Is something nitont the association with the creatines of a so-called lower order which seems to enrich and deepen our humanity. The friendship which you enjoy with a faithful little dog, or the love you heatow on a good horao, or a useful old house cat?all these do not lessen our ability to love and care for little children and other humans, hut rather enlarge our sympathies tot all iteings of the earth.
