Of the Rtnaller South^Carolina
cities Fort Mill is in many respects
one of the best, but it
could be made a very inuch better
place to live in tpul would
prove more attractive to outsiders
if there were greater evidences
of civic pride to be seen here.

Citizens of McCorinick county

liUtl/lu n % /) 4 M . 1 il. ^ ?
QiKtn aim |iui iu lirttlll it liegru
accused of attacking a white woman
at her home near Plum
Branch. There seemed little
doubt of the guilt of the man
and he might have known what
was in store for him when he
committed the erime which cost
him his life. Northern critics of
the .South will say that the lynching
is further evidence that the
* people of this section have little
respect for law or constituted authority
and that human life is
held lightly by our people. Men
are put to death outside the law
iu Northern communities for
crimes less serious than that
the McCormick negro confessed
he had committed, but this fact
will be conveniently overlooked
by those who uutke it their business
to find fault with the South
and there will be no condemnation
of the crime which begot the
lynching.
So many big thiugs are happening
in the world that it takes a
momentous event to hold the attention
of the people of thiseoun
try as long as 24 hours. A few
days ago Admiral Suns made an
anti-Sinn Fein speech iu London
which raised a furore for a day.
Now the country has all but forgot
what Sims said and when he
arrives in New York a day or
two hence half the people will
wonder why the secretary of the
navy ever considered what he
said of enough importance to order
hiin to return to America.
Not so unimportant, however, was
the recent Pilgrims' day speech
of Ambassador Harvey, in wlfich
lie said that the United States entered
the World war for selfish
motives and, that there was lacking
the element of patriotism
which usually impelled' countries
to take up arms. For some
years much will be heard of the
Harvey speech and it is going to
take a deal of apologizing and
explaining on the part of the Republicans
to convince the country
that the speech was not a studied
insult to every* man who entered
the service in the World
war and to every citizen who
thought the country's cause in
that struggle righteous.
Somehow the public got the
impression -a few weeks ago when
the railroads of the country appealed
to the railroad labor board
to be permitted to reduce the
wages of their employees that if
the request were granted a corresponding
decrease would follow
in freight rates and passenger
fares on the* roads thus favored.
No such arrangement was
contemplated, in our opinion.
They wanted to take the loaf of
hread from the laborer that cak?*
might be given the capitalists
owning the roads, as one writer
expresses it. At this very time,
instead of giving the public the
advantage of the cut in wages
ordered by the labor board, certain
railroads are preparing to
announce marked increases in
freight rates fi*>m the West to
points in North Carolina. If the
r-' t . # v*- '. ' -Sir . * .

railroads can increase freight
rates for North Carolina, why not
for South Carolina and if for
South Carolina, why not for the
entire country T There never waa
a time in the history of the country
when the people were being
imposed upon as they now are by
the railroads and other corabinations
which control the price of
I mahy of the necessaries of Itfe.
The one hope for relief from the
extortionate rates of the railroads
lies in the system of publie
highways now being built
more or less generally throughout
the country. When motor
vehicles begin to do a considerable
part of the freight and passenger
business of the country,
then the railroads will have to
ireai ne puonc considerately or
go out of business.

' \ THE OOUNTKY WEEKLY.
The following tribute to the
country weekly Was written by
Prof. Bristow Adams, editor for
the State College of Agriculture
at Cornell university;
"I am the Country Weekly.
"I ^m the friend of the family,
the bringer of tidings from other
friends; 1 speak to the home in
the evening light of summer's
vine-clad porch or the glow of
winter's lamp.
"I help to make the evening
hour; I record* the great and the
small, the varied acts of the days
and weeks that go to make up
life.
441 am for ami of the home; I
follow those who leave humble
beginnings; whether they go to
greatness or to the gutter, and I
take to them the thrill of old
days, with wholesome messages.

common man; my words are fittiiH
