F Much publicity has been given the "Boston Tea Party," which was plc^ turesque as well ns significant, but it was not the only "tea party" of that time. Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, had an equally good one with the same Intents and purposes and fully as spectacular. In the summer of 1774 the brlgantlne "Peggy Stewart" entered the port of Annapolis with a cargo of tea. fThe people of the city regarded the L* shipment aa an Insult nnd a defiance J of their will. They gathered In the f street to denounce the tocnl Importers and to organise for the destruction of the tea. The local Importers appealed to Charles Carroll of Carrollton for protection. His answer was that the only way by which they could escape personal violence would be to burn both ship and cargo instantly, and In plain sight of the Infuriated populace. This was done, and the burning ship and cargo In Annapolis harbor was quite aa spectacular ns the emptying Of a cargo of tea Into Boston harbor. HkSv* m * ' s % v>> ^1E F TRIP TO BATTLEGROUND. Rncunpmont of Boy Scouts M s Kiltie's Mountain a Sucwm, (Written for The TlmeV) The encampment of the Fort Mill troop of Boy Scouts recently held at Klni^s Mountain battleground wan a decided suocewi, Judging from the reports of those who took part In the encampment. Contrary to plans, the troop left town without a cook, but necessity proved a good "mother" and the scouts returned home looking as well as when they left. Eighteen tenderfoot and second class scouts left Fort Mill on the morning of August 3, under the leadership of -the scoutmaster, J. C. Stribllng. ouch cnrrylng his haversack on his hack containing his moss kit, cup and toilet articles. The blnnkcts. tents and extra clothing were carried In a wagon with the supplies and cooking utensils. The scouts marched the entire distance to the battleground. The first night was spent on the school grounds at Newport. The next stop was at Tlrznh to attend the cotton association picnic. After dinner the troop continued the hike to York and Kpent the night In a pasture near town. It was here that the first of the ninny rains the troop encountered fell. Part of the day waa spent In camp, hut after dinner the hike was resumed and the third night was spent near Bethany. The fourth day about noon the troop bef^nn the ascent to the historic battlefield or King's Mountain. and camp was established Just east of the large monument erected by the natlonnl government to commemorate the turnlpg point of the Revolutionary war. The fifth day was spent In exploring the region and looking for a swimming hole. A trip was also made to n nearby mountain home to purchase vegetables and chickens for the Sunday dinner. After cleaning up and taking a few nlcturas Sunday morning, a short Sunday school was ronductcd on the base of the monument. Progress on the, Sunday dinner was halted when all the salt was put In the lemonade. One scout quickly did his turn, however. by running down the montalnslde und borrowing some salt. As usual dinner was late, but with an ample supply of snap beans and corn, fried chicken and gravy, stewed apples, bread and coffee, the lemonade was forgotten. During the slay at the battleground much excitement was aroused by the experience of one of the smallest of the "tcndcrfeet." H<? went to the grave of Colonel Ferguson, the British commander who was killed there, and when he had knocked on the tombstope three times asked. "Is there anything you want, Colonel Ferguson?" Colonel Ferguson's reply was, "Nothing." Uatn fell on the sixth night of the encampment, so the tents were j rorsaken and the scouts slept In the | pavilion. It continued to rain the next day and as there was no bread | in camp the troop hiked to the town of Kingls Mountain, N. C. Returning to camp an old deserted house | was found at the foot of the mountain and there the night was spent. This house was .in the danger zone of tho artillery that practiced near there during the World war and the chimney was demolished and shell holes were found In -the walls and roof. The next morning practically the entire party climbed to the pinnacle of the mountain In the rain, but the clouds blow away for a time and some good pictures were taken. The scouts on duty in camp hnd a largo boiler of hot vegetable soup ready for dinner and It was enjoyed despite the rain. Tho homeward Journey was begun after rfinncr and Clover was the first objective. A fresh supply of bread and peanuts was secured and the stop for the night was made at the Miller school house, four miles from Clovor. The third patrol laid claim to n record when they prepared and served breakfast In an hour and a half the following morning. Things were soon packed and the last day's Journey was begun in good spirits. An hour's stop for dinner, a can of nnrk nnH v>*nna ? bucket of lemonade at the Cherry spring, a swim In the river and n happy entry to Fort Mill were the principal events of the last day of the homeward hike as well aa having walked 25 miles In the rain and mud. | The troop was away nine days, walked about 80 miles, did their own cooking on their own Improvised stove, had hut one accident and but one ense of homesickness and were still game when they reached home. Among the souvenirs of the encampment are kodak pictures, a large snnke hide, chips from the monument, fragments of sheila from the artillery range near the mountain and a canteen of water from the medielnal springs at the foot of the mountain.

C., THTJRfi LIGHTNING MAKES JUNK I OF HISTORIC OLD CANNON "What has beco?M of the old cannon that for years waa partially ti planted, rouule idownward, at the s Savings bank corner. of Main and p Confederate streets?" asked a day c or two ago a former Port Mill cltl- r sen who had not visited the town f for several years until he returned f from his homo In the West one day u last week to spend a forthiaht her* with his relatives and friends. r ."I'll tell you." replied a citizen A who knows something about overy- j thing that has happened in Fort r Mill for the last half century or u more. "You will tlnd a considerable t part of the old cannon underneath t the band stund In Confederate purk, h where It wus put Beveral years ago j after lightning struck it and de- t stroyed Its usefulness as u marker i for the geogrnphtcal center of the n town. | "The history of the old cannon, f as I have been able to learn It." a continued 'the citizen. "is about as V follows: When Stoneman made a ji raid through this section with his K 1 federal cavalry during the War He- r tween the States he abandoned the cannon In the bottoms of the sS Catawbu river, near the site of the . railroad bridge, three miles south of Fort Mill, after setting tire to und t destroying the bridge. The cannon 0 remained In the bottoms, hulf cov- . oted with mud and slime, for about a dozen years, or until the Hamp- ,, ton campaign in 1X76. Then a c number of enthusiastic young Fort _ Mill Democrats, sensing victory tor -j Hampton and the bulance of the party ticket, conceived the idea of ( rescuing the cannon und bringing It c to town to celcbrute the restoration , of white government In South Caro- ( l'na. Those were strenuous days in this State, for the people were determined at any cost to regain con- T iroi 01 mc government, but thut'H ' another story. A few days before th election In November of that year ^ the cannon was hauled to town, cleaned up and made ready for ser- * vice in celebratinK the victory ull *' were conildent was near at baud. * It wus mounted in a crude sort of 1 way in a vacant lot where the Pal- 1 metto hotel now stands and a few ' nights ufter the election, when it was definitely known that Hampton I had been elected, a torchlght pro- t cession, with hundreds of mounted citizens In line, was held in cclebra- J tion of the victory and the cannon I was tired repeatedly as a concom- " itant to the applause of the ussem- c hied populuce.. The enthusiasm of c the young men who were tiring the ? cannon finally got the upper hand of <i their judgment. however, and a ? charge of powder too big for It to t accommodate was put in und when ' the spark w.\s annlled the i'.imii.n i burst. Fortunately the explosion Injured no one. "Whut was left of the cannon ? rfter the explosion lay for years In Confederate park. Finally the late Oapt. S. E. White had it set In tho pavement at tho Savings bank corner to mark the center of the town and there it remained until it was shattered by lightning several years ago." MOTOK TOIjIJ HEAVY.

The perils of commercial aviation do not compare with the devastating motor menace, which is exacting a terrific toll of human life throughout America, a report issued by the exectlve committee of the National Safety council, in session in Atlantic City, states. There are obvious reasons why the problem of making the public hlKhways safe for the people who own them shold be given immediate consideration by the automobile makers of the country, unless they expect soon to be confronted by a great volume of hostile public opinion, stretching from coast to coust, said the see-, retary of the Natlorial Safety council. "Statistics for the current year in this country show." said the report, "that three times as many people are being killed by automobiles as in all the factories, mines, railroads and other industries in America. "One person Is killed by an auto- ; mobile In the Fntted States every 3f? minutes, and the menace Is growing ( nil the time, almost In proportion to the Increase of the machines In use.

IOW UNCLE SAM HELPS STATES TO BUILD ROADS The unprecedented stimulus given ilghway construction in the United tates in the four years that have usscd since the federal government ' ntercd upon its policy of aiding cad improvement is shown by the act that road operations under the i-deral aid road act thus far inmted aggregate in length nine times It A tllolntton X' V?.l. ??

The federal government's share( In this stupendous" unertakliiK Is greater than the cost of l.c Panama canal. The purtlclpalon of the national government tn lighway Improvement marked a dear! ure from a policy which had -pen followed for nearly a century, 'cderal cooperation with the States >n approximately a "50-60" basis ?as counted more than any other actor, says Mr. MocDonald. In inltltlng highway construction that Is elng carried on under adequate sulervlslon. and In accord with a pro;ram coordinntln local. State and lational needs. Second only In Importance to the ize of the present road building irogram is the excellence of the haraoter of the roads being built, iixty per cent, of the total allotment 1 federal funds which has been ap?roved to date will be spent for oads of such durable types as bituninous concrete, Portand cement con. rete and vitrified brick. These oads, when built, will increase by .600 miles the total of 14.400 miles t? roads of this class which existed n the United States before the fedral aid road law was passed. But hese figures by no means represent he total mileage nffected. In 1916, the *otal expenditure for oads and bridges by all the States md local govrnrnents was $267,100.000, while this year the estlinat ;u II1IHI> ilVilllHIIIt' KM IIIUII1 IMUM 'onstruction are neurly three times hat amount, or $633,000,000. In ill, federal funds to the amount of 1266.750.000 have been apportioned imong 4S States, without a suggestion >f favoritism, so adequate are the irovislfkiis for a Just apportionment. The fcderul government's present >rogram of hlghwuy Improvement Is he result of two arts: The federal lid road act. signed by the president ruly 11, 1016, and provisions in the >oMtofliee appropriation bill for 1920, ilgned Kebrunry 28, 1919, containing in amendment to the original federal ild road net. The original approprlitioSi of $75,000,000 was made nvailible for rural post roads in Installments at the rate of $5,000,000 for he fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1917; IIO.OOO.OOO for the fiscal year 1918; 115.000,000 for the year 1919; $20.>00,000 for the year 1920. and $25,>00,000 far the fiscal year ending luno, 1921. The apportionment of the post -oad appropriations of the States, ifter deducting the administrative 'und, which must not exceed 3 per jent.. is based upon area, population ind mileage of rral delivery and star routes in eaeh State. Ench of these 'actors has a weight of one-third. All of these federal funds may be expended only for construction and must not exceed 50 per cent, of the k'aluc of the ronds. In other words. the States, either directly or through lounty or other government units, are required to bdar something more than half of the total cost of their road improvement. Under the law the secretary of agriculture is charged with the administration of the federnl aid act. He has assigned the details of administration to the chief of the bureau of public roads, a branch of the lepnrtment which Is considered to be n closer touch with the highway sltu?tion and requirements of the country ts a whole than any other agency In [he United States. The fcrlernl act requires that road projects for federnl nid be Initiated by [he States. As a first step n statement is forwarded to the district engineer of the bureau of public roads, announcing in effect that the State proposes to build a piece of road of a certain type and length in a certain location. This notice, known as a pro|ect statement, is accompanied by an estimate of cost. The project statement is examined by the district engineer to determine whether the project complies with the federnl road act. If his decision is favorable he sends the stntement to Washington with his recommendation. There it Is examined by the chief engineer und his assistants, and if the latter concurs In the recommendation of [he district engineer the project Is placed before the secretary of agriculture for his approval. Until the "ccretnry has acted no further action Is taken by the State. Over half r>f the projects handled are passed by district officers in an average of Rvc days. Rrraks Arm Cranking Ford.

Five suits of clothes were stolen from the store of C. A. Iteeee, a denier In men's furnishings, lu Kock Hill, Friday night when an unknown purty or parties smashed a show widow of the establishment. Five wooden coat hangers were also taken along with the clothing. Two stores at Blacksburg were broken Into and robbed some time Sunday night or early Monday morning, according to Information reaching the ottlce of Sheriff Fred E. Qulnn. A quantity of merchandise was stolen from each place. The robbers obtained no money. There Is no clue to the Identity of the guilty parties. The Cannon and 1-ockmore cotton r. Ills are closed this week, the closing down being necessary. It was K-ld yesterday, because of the Inability of the mills to sell their products at a prom. The condition Is not expected to Inst a great while. ' owever, und the understanding Is that the managers of the two local mills expect to resume operations rext week. Just now the cotten seed market is being quoted at SO cents n bushel, against $1.30 a bushel during the uiiuuii- ui iup pusi winter; riui 11 i" reasonably certain that If there jvere any seed moving the price would he lower rather than higher. The present condition of the seed and oil market is anything hut encouraging, either to the producers or cruahera of need, and there seems to be very little comprehensive- information us to the difficulty. Oil which brought 26 cents a year ugo Is now being quoted at 9 $>r 10 cents and nieal that brought >70 a ton in the West is now going begging ut $60. Every oil mill In the country. both East and West, has linters piled up around It. and Is unable to sell them ut any price. About the only thing in connection with seed products that haa not gone down in the same proportion as oil is lard substitutes that are made from the nnine oil. Cotton seed hulls could probably be sold in this market at from $20 to $26 a ton 1* there wore any to be had. but there nre very few to be had in thia section at any price. Western hulls, those of Texas and Oklahoma, are being offered at $6 a ton ugainst $10 a few months ago, but they are not j snieaiue uec-nuse or tneir inranor nunllty nrwl because of dicrlmlnatory freight rates. FORTY MKN KM, I ST. National t.uaril Koui|wu>' for Fort Mill Almost Aksured. Considerable progress Is being made toward the organization of the company of the National Guard of the United States which recently wag proposed for Fort Mill. To date <U nten, 11 of whom saw service In the World war, have signed the application blanks, and it is thought by those behind the organization of the company that at least IS more applications will be received within the next week or ten days. Fifty is the minimum number of members that will be accepted to muster a crmpany into the National Guard. When this number has been secured a meeting will be held and the company formally organized. The term of enlistment in the National Guard is three yeura and three years In the reserve. The applicant must declare that he la not married and that no one will claim dependence upon him for support In case he is called or drafted Into the service of the United States. Yesterday the statement was made by Arthur C. I.ytle, who is interested. in the formation of the National Ounrd company and who nan a sergeant In Company <1 (Fort Mill Light Infnntry), 118th regiment. HOth division, that the adjutant general's department In Columbia had given ^insurance that the company* will he able to retain the company letter of the old Fort Mill organization. Mr. Lytic also said that he thought the company would vote to retain the local name or the old company, which made a record In the'World war of which the community is Justlv proud. The Fort Mill Light Infantry was organized in the spring of 1000 and continued in the service from that time until it was mustered out at Camp Jackson during the summer of 1918 with the other companies of the 118th regiment. Neglect* Children for Hogs. The United States government la more Interested In saving hogs than children. In 1920. the government appropriated S280.0O0 for the work of the children's bureau. In 1010 the national appropriation for the eradication of hog cholera was (440.000. Nearly twice as much spent on hog cholera as the eradication of all children's diseases. The government spent nearly three times as much to eradicate cattle ticks as were given the children's bureau. The sum of $1,600,000 wa* spent by the national government la one year to do away with tuberculosis. It was spent by the bureau of animal husbandry for the prevention of tuberculosis In animals, not In I children. One million dollars scent on the foot and mouth disease of animals In one year by'the national government and one-fourth that amount spent on 25.000.000 children.
