Ono Way to Fix the Roads.
Rock Hill special Of May 25, to the
Columbia State: York is gradually
bringing her roads up to better stand
ard and 1t is hoped that 1t will only be
very few years until all the citizens
of the county will unite in purpose and
pocket for improvement. There Is
nothing like owning fine stock or ar
automobile to bring about a real
change Of heart from the old condi-
ton. This Is very aptly Illustrated by
an incident occurring here. Messrs. j
H. Witherspoon, Dolph F'riedheim, M
B. Massey and the McFadden Auto
company, realizing that the road lead
ing from Rock Hill to the Catawba
river and thence to Fort Mill Is In bad
shape and having numerous calls to use
that road, got together and put man
on the road at SO per day to mend the
bad places along the road.
Farmers Mutual Life.
There was an important meeting OF
the stockholders Of the Farmers Mu-
tual Life Insurance company In York
Vile last Monday, for the purpose OF
considering the further development OF
that growing organization. The Far
mers' Mutual Life Insurance company
has now been doing business little
more than seven years and during that
time has paid out to benefciaries the
sum Of $4,000. Every benefit has been
paid promptly at maturity, and Dtvts-
lon 1 has never fallen below one thou
sand members since 1t originally pass
ed the thousand mark. The members
are assessed at each death on account
of the next benefit to become due. Al
the meeting Monday, the plans having
been under consideration for quite a
while, It was decided to organize an
other division on the monthly payment
basis. The rate adopted Is such as has
been established as just about suffcient
to pay operating expenses and death
benefits, and 1t Is believed that the COST
of insurance will be about the same as
in Division l. The new division Is 70
be gotten under way as soon as the
necessary preliminaries can be attend
ed to.
