Editor Times: Being an old
subscriber to your paper I
thought perhaps my brother
subscribers would like to hear
from me through the flourishing
little Times, and of course | am
always ready to butt-in. When
| read the interesting letters
written by my friend, Splinter,
anG others, ] think that the people
of Fort Mill township and sur
rounding country ought to be
proud of their home paper, which
has improved so much in the past
few months, and ought to give
family.
1t had been 50 long since I
heard from my friend Splinter
that thought perhaps he had
done away with his old clay pipe
and had got himself a new one,
and was putting in too much
time smoking and neglecting to
write. l was glad to hear from
him through the last issue of
The Times; and my old friend
Roy, we would like to see him
get out Of his winter quarters
shake himself real good these
sun-shiny days and tell us what
he knows.
The farmers have had some
fine weather for the past few
weeks, and the most of them
seem to have been making good
use of it.

Peach Crop Seriously Injured.

Advices received at this office
from different sections of the
county indicate that the extreme
cold of last week impaired the
prospects for a full peach crop
more seriously than was at first
thought. 1t is difficult to esti-
mate accurately the percentage
of loss occasioned by the freezes
of Monday and Tuesday nights,
but from the reports at hand it
would seem that less than a
half crop will be made.
News from the peach belt of
Georgia is to the effect that the
freeze has cost the growers of
that State fully 50, 900, 1000.

FOR A COUNTY SuPT

A Number of Aspraafs h Sspsrintend.
ent Carro4s Pesition.

Up to this time The En0uirer
has heard of no less than seven
candidates for the appointment
to fill out the unexpired term of
Superintendent Of Education
Carroll: They are Messrs. q. p.
McMackin, John A. Shurley. F.
T. Mccain, l.. w. Jenkins, S. B.
Latham, John S. Sandifer. J. C..
Wilborn. Mr.. Carroll s resignation
was worded to take effect on
April l; but it is understood that
a member of the state board of
education has requested him to
hold over at least until April 20,
when there is to be n regular
meeting of the board. Common
talk has it that Prof. A. r. Banks
will probably have the most saw
so in selecting the appointee,
not only because York IS in this
district; but because he is more
familiar with conditions in this
territory. The candidates and
their friends are writing letters
to all the members of the board,
and unless the appointment is
made without a great beal of
delay, the outlook is that quite a
warm struggle will develop out
of the situation. Among the ap-
plicants are several who are
thoroughly competent to fill the
position with credit to themselves
and Satisfaction to the county,
and although there are some who
would be more acceptable than
1thers, as a matter of fact, the
board cannot very well make q
mistake by the selection of anv
of those named. 1t is not i'm
probable, however, that the ap-
pointee may be some man who
has not yet been named in con-
nechon with the place. York

1t is rumored that the shops
for the old 3C's division of the
Southern Railway may be moved
to Rock Hill. The idea seems to
be to put them at a central point
between Charleston and Marion.
in order that the repairs of the
entire line may be most conven-
iently done.
Mr.. j. A. Maxwell, agent of
the Southern, was in Rock Hill
this week and it is thought he is
looking up this machine shop
subject. 1t is also said that some
of the mechanics of the South
ern Railway have already moved
to Rock Hill.
Mr.. Forney, the station agent
here. is quoted as saying that
ne had instructions that as soon
as the old 3C's depot here could
be removed that the shops would
certainly be moved here from
Blacksburg. Rock Hill Record.

Railroad Earnings.

The gross annual ear. ,ings of
the railroads in round numbers
are two thousand million dollars.
The net earnings ere seven hun
dred million dollars. 1t will thus
be seen that once a year every
dollar in circulation in the United
States passes through the hands
of the railroads, while once in
three years, every dollar in
the United States becomes a
part of their net earnings and
these net earnings equal in
amount annually the entire ex-
penditures Of the United States
government" This striking
statement was made by Senator
Tillynan, in his formal written
report on the Hepburn railroad
rate bill which he was directed
to make by the Senate committee
on Inerstate Commerce, and
which he presented in the Sen
ate.

infested with a swarm of grass
hoppers which had swooped down
that morning.
"Driving back by the same road
that night we stopped at the corn

Mr.. AuseI's Platform.

Hon. M. F. Ansel, of Green
vile, candidate for governor, re-
iterates his platform so far as the
liquor plank is concerned. Mr..
Ansel is unalterably opposed to
the system of a State dispensary,
and says in part:
L am in favor of local county
option, as between prohibition and
county dispensaries; that is, am
in favor of any county in the
State voting upon the question IS
to whether they wish prohibition
for that county, or whether they
wish county dispensaries. If a
majority of the qualified voters of
the county desire prohibition for
that particular county, then | am
one who believes that they should
have it,"

Southern Issues Handsome Souvenir

Washington, has just been pub
lished by the passenger depart
ment of the Southern Railway.
A feature of this beautiful books
which is unusual in such pub
lications and which adds to it's
attrativeness, is the fact that it
contains little evidence of being
an advertisement. It's value as a
souvenir is much enhanced by

Seed For Long Staple Cotton.

farmers to know that the Agri-
cultural Department has succeed
ed In growing a number of new
breeds of cotton seed which pro-
duce grade of cotton with a
fiber from a half to three quarters
of an inch longer than that for
merly grown. The seeds were
developed from the ordinary up
land cotton and are ready to be
sent out for this seasons plant
