The Fort Mill Times. - W im.l'. a P.. THUR8DAY. SEPTEMBER 29. 1921. Si Established 1891. , *v?* ? - - 1 HERE AND THERE. /^Observations of Fort Mill Citizen on Interesting Subjects. >4i whs not surprised to read in the daily papers," said a Fort Mill citizen who frequently gives The Times' readers the benefit of his observations, "that the chief of police of Chicago wus quoted as saying that half the 5,000 police officers of that city are engaged in bootlegging. Chicago is notoriously corrupt and immoral. with a record for crime 1 * n . ? ? nine snorr 01 mat oi New York city; but one dot's not have to go to far away as to to either of those cities to find conditions which should not be tolerated in this country. I believe, along with uiany others, that if the matter were thoroughly investigated, we would find scores of nolice officers and constables right here 1 in South Carolina selling 1 hrough others liquor they have captured or have bought outright for the purpose." "Something recalled to toy niind a day or two ago." contin- 1 tied the citizen, '"that exactly ten t years ago this month work was begun on the Catawba river bridge at Ivey's mill. The bridge proved of little valpe to the pub- j lie and no great amount of damage was done when it washed awuy in the disastrous freshet of j 1916. The bridge was built,largely by subscriptions of Rock llil! citizens "who thought it would open up new territory in the Bel- | air ami Pleasant Valley sections ( of Lancaster county for trade for i that city, but the Lancaster conn- ' ty authorities refused to improve thel road leading to the bridge ; ami as a consequence it was almost impossible to use the structure. In bud weather descent of the hill at Jhe Lancaster county end of the bridge was negotiated at'Serious risk and ascent of the 1 hiU was almost equally dunger- j oiui. If the foresight of those responsible for the building of the bridge hail been as good as their hindsight, thousands of dollars that Were all but wasted in the eitterprise would have been used to better purpose." ^"Speaking of the lvev's mill bridge, reminds me tluit a consid- 1 erable number of Kbene/.er town- J ship citizens who wish to do business in Fort Mill are unable to come here without serious iucou- I venieime by reason of the i'aet tliAtL.there is no way for them to cross the Catawba without first going to Rock Hill and returning to the county bridge, a distance of about 1(> miles, and then coming to town, after having *raveieu io nines 10 reneii ilie place, less than five miles away from their homes. -The county should reopen the free ferry that was established after the county bridge, a few miles below the ! Southern-Powur company's dam. i was destroyed in lillti, and thereby enable these citizens of Kbenezer township who wish to transact their business in Fort Mill the opportunity to do so without being subjected to such hardships as they now experience in getting here." "Of course I am interested in the outcome of the struggle between Cleveland and New York for the pennant in the American league. Cleveland having won the pennant and the world chain- 1 pionship last year, 1 would a lit- j tie rather see the New York team ancx the honors this year; but no matter which wins, my gueps is that the lucky club will prove better than the New York Nationals in the world champi onship series. The American league teams are stronger, and more popular, too, than those of the National league, and that's whv tllWV lli>ttt*1v ulu'uvu ? ill.. championship. I had hoped that Ty Cobb would pull the Detroit Tygers into -the first division this year, but it was not to be so. At. that, however, he has improved the standing of the Tygers over that of lats year. The Detroit team was a weak sister when (Cobb became manager the first of the year. It is stronger now. Watch it next year. Cobb is brainy aud resourceful." CORN FROM GRASS. | Luther Burbank Causes Transition in 18 Years. Nuture is sometimes slow, but always sure. On the other hand, that magician of the plant world. Luther Burbank. is not only sure, but sometimes exceedingly swift, 1 comparatively speaking, as his latest exploit clearly proves. I This consisted in taking the seed | of a wild grass, teosinte. ami through continued and intensive application of scientific methods | of plant breeding producing perI<'Ct ears of corn in 18 years. This consisted in taking in ink ing the seed of a wild grass teosinte, and through continued uml intensive application of scientific methods of plant breeding producing perfect ears of corn at the end of 18 years. Mr. liurhank's experiment was i carried on to test tin* theory long lielil by botanists that teosiutc as tlie aboriginal form of maize. That this was so can no longer be doubted in the light of .Mr. Burbauks remarkable achieve- ' ment. While tlit* ears of corn lie produced from teosiutc do not njke rank with the superior vari- ' eties grown in America today, they compare favorably with | those the first white settlers in j this country found the Indians cultivating extensively. When the Indian first discovered teosintct it bore tiny ears with two rows of small corn-like kernels, each kernel being encased in a separate sheath or pod. on a cob two to four inches long. The cob itself was less in thick11ess than a lead pencil. Finding that these kernels were good to eat. the Indians turned their aticutiuii to planting and growing teosiutc. They crudely but effectively scratched the soil where before teosiutc had relied upon the frosts to loosten the ground for \ the seed, and doubled the chance or the baby plan to grow. They protected it from the weeds ami , animals and planted it in patches ; where formerly it had struggled , here and there as best lie could. | I nder these conditions, and also borauso tin* Indians, season alter season, saved the. best kernels for seed, the tiny teosinte ears gradually lengthened themselves to accommodate the increasing size of the kernels and their increasing numbers. "In linn, too, the sheaths or pods I covering the kernels disappeared, so that when the white settlers came they found not the tiny white teosinte, but Indian corn or ina i/.e. How many centuries were required to bring about this evolution can only be conjectured. It is not even known how long the Indians had been cultivating this improved corn. That it was long before the appearance of the Kuropeans. however, is evident not only from its early and widespread cultivation by tribes of the area now embraced in the I nited States, lint from the fact that imlieations of its cultivation are found in mounds and in the ancient pnchlo ruins and cliff dw filings.

"These small bullets like they use in most other plaees give trouble1 enough, but these big , bullets, such as they use here and down in Kershaw, ase still more dithcult to handle."

Tuesday ! morning a traveling business man said that his collections last Saturday were better than they had been for months. "Of course.'' said lie, "we have been selling goods all along, some for cash 1 and some on credit, but for some | time collections have been simply bum. I believe things arc going to be bettt r from now on." "I do not know how I'll come | out at it. but I am going to make a try." said John Cameron, who lives about J 1-2 miles south of Yorkville. "I am going to put j out several thousand peach trees i on my home platje. 1 have been told bv people who know that 1 | have exactly the right kind of j soil, and although it is a hit or ! miss proposition we all know that we get a good peach crop in this locality with rt asouable freqtien- j cv.

"If the United States, according to criticism in 1789, selected a site for its capital far from the beaten path, the newly formed federation of t'entral America | has selected one that is even ! more remote ami inaccessible," | euvu .1. v* i ???j q (i uii i if i ill Ui II1C.* Geographic society. "Tegucigalpa (a name which when properly pronounced brings to mind the 'goosey-goosey-gander of nursery rhymes) is now the capital of Honduras, one of the members of the new union," the bulletin continues. "It might ; b.* termed the 'Lhasa of the West,' but not because it is a forbidden city bv the edict of mall. Its citizens have their share of the hospitality for which Latin America is noted, but nature has placed rough country between the city and the two oceans that bathe the shore of Honduras, and man has done little to overcome the handicap. It is the only capital on the North American continent that has never echoed to the more or less musical blast of a railroad locomotive and one of the few railroadlcss capitals in the Western hemisphere. Nor may one yet travel to the new national capital by automobile. i "Tegucigalpa is some SO miles inland from its pacific port, San Lorenzo, on highlands more than 3,000 feet above sea level. A road which is more than a trail but j less than a highway connects the \ .v..;..... mm... * > ... w nil- llll ISI aillllll ions nit mi* that it can lay claim to is 'carl road.'

In the into- ; nor of the country, 'with its flanks in the air.' as a military man might describe it. is a 50mile highway in good condition extending between Tegucigalpa and the second most important town of Honduras, t'ouiayagua. Over this road automobiles operate regularly. "Tegucigalpa is more than 100 miles from the Atlantic, or rather the ('aribhean 'sea, but Americans can reach the capital more quickly from the Atlantic than from the Pacific side, due to the fast steamer service from New Orleans ami Molrile. Puerto forte/, is the north shore point.

Most of its buildings are ot one story with walls of adobe or masonry and roofs of tile. "Though it is isolated now, Tegucigalpa does not mean t?. re- * main so and perhaps its choict as capital of the new Central American Federation is an earnest that it will soon have rail connections with the outside world. The ??>v- 1 eminent of the state adopted ?;n ambitious raillniildiug program a generation ago. but financial ruin overtook the enterprise. In re- i cent years a number of railroads have been built from the north coast by large banana companies ami some of these arc being slowly extended toward the capital.
