Public Cotton Weisher.
At the request Of several farmers
members Of the York County Union
Senator Brice amended the Chester
County Cotton Weigher bill, so as tc
include York county in its provisions
The argument Of those who desired
York to be in the bill was that they die
not know that 1t was desirable to pu'
its provisions in operation at this time;
but they wanted to be in a position tc
do so If they should see proper. 1t Is
held by some of the farmers that pro-
vision for weighing cotton at puoilc
platform will stimulate competition;
that salaried representatives OF cot
ton buying concerns located elsewhere
cannot afford to erect platforms foI
their use; but If they have access to q
public platform they will be able to
buy cotton on exactly equal terms with
the local buyers. On the other hand II
Is argued that local buyers who inVes'
their money in facilities for handling
cotton are entitled to protection against
outsiders. York was at first includ-
ed in the provisions Of the bill, but al
the instance Of parties interested in the
buying side Of the question the bill
was withdrawn.
Fort Mill and Ebenezer.
Fort Mill Times, February 27;
Contrary to the expectations of the
public in general, the Fort Mill Pres
byterian church will not unite with
Ebenezer church in the employing OF
a pastor to succeed the lamented Dr.
James H. Thornwell. This decision
was reached Sunday at a congrega-
tional meeting of the Presbyterians
and the decision was almost unani-
nous. This action on the part OF the
local church must not be taken as an
indication Of friction between the
churches for such is not the case
The Fort Mill and Ebenezer churches
have worked in unison for many years
and there was never an unpleasant
feeling between them. The decision
Of the Fort Mill church to sever re-
lations with Ebenezer was done
solely for the reason that the congre-
CATION here realize the inconvenience
to which the pastor is put in attend
ing both churches and also that the
local church demands the regular at
tendance of a pastor. At a meeting
Sunday a committee, the duty OF
which 1t to look out for a PASTOR was
appointed consisting of the following
gentlemen: r. F. Grier, E. w. Kim
brell, w. r. Carothers, ]. w. Ardrey,
L. J. Massey. This committee will
meet during the week and map out
plan Of procedure.
