Telephone, local and long distance. No. 112. . Entered at the postofflcc at l?'ort Mill, S. C.. as mail matter of the second clnss. THURSDAY, AUGUST 12. 1920. Congressman Mason of Illinois Is of the opinion, so he suys, perhaps because lie .wanted to get his name on the press wires, that the Irish sympathizers in America will "all have to vote for Harding." Perhaps they will, and perhaps they won't. The Irish sympathizers in tliis country arc not herded in a pen like so many cattle to lie delivered by any man who may have appointed himself spokesman for them. We imagine that quite as many Amerlmino ,uk.. l'.? ..1. the socalled Irish republic become a P republic in (act will be found voting for fox next November as for 1 larding. The heavy rains of the last few days demonstrate in the most forcible way tho need of good roads throughout the county. Motor tralllc over the country roads was almost impossible tl?e lirst of the week. Kittle as one may think of it, the condition of the loads cost the county thousands of dollars. Farmers were, unable in many instances to bring their perishable produce to market, finding it wellnigh impossible to drive their cars through the mud, and consequently sustaining considerable loss in the aggregate. Merchants and other business men also suffered loss from the condition of the roads. York couniy has an act, passed at the 1 !> 19 session of the General Assembly. providing for the issuance of township bonds for road purposes, but unfortunately only two townships In the county have improved upon the opportunity the net affords to secure good roads, and in only one of these townships have there been any roads constructed from the sale of township bonds. Hut one of these days the people are going to tire of tho.mipl tax and then good roads- will b< built, if not by bond Issues, otherwise The matter could'quickly be brought. iii a inaii i?y a number or influential men in each township cooperating to,, Inlluenco the- voters to provide the funds for road construction. Fleeted to the United States sennti for the second time, in 1!?14, carrying al. save three counties in the State over Ills Republican opponent, after receiving nearly 00,000 majority ovet tiis opponent for the Democratic nomination the same year, Tlios. P. Gori now goes down to defeat under a heavy vote cast for Scott Ferris as tht party candidate in the Novembei election. A number of reasons ari given for the defeat of tlie blind senator, he himself claiming that it was due to the harvest season which kept many farmers away from tin polls; but the most likely reason is found in his opposition to President Wilson's policies generally but particularly his vote against the league of nations. "1 ran a handicap race atul lost," the senator says. Kxactly. There are other Congress candidates i nnipg for reelection this year who a o are carrying the added weight in h. ndieap races. Over in Georgln lloke Smith is up for reelection and there is the possibility that his handicap will also prove his undoing. Smith's war record is little hotter than Core's; tint at that there is little-to chose between Smith and the candidates who are opposing him for the Democratic nomination. Tom Watson i." .-in iimiT mi.in, iiiiii in i no iihii'mi in (,ije SouIh. I>ut is oven loss dependable than Smith, if that lie possible, and Cooper apparently Is a liquor candidate. The one hope for Ocoi'Kia to he creditably represented in.the United States senate seems to bo Coventor Horsey. It i: thought ttiat Horsey eould deroat Smith. Watson and Cooper if he made an aggressive campaign, hut the governor seems reluctant to enter the race and it begins to look as if Smith will continue to lie in position to do the State and nation more harm thun good.
