As to Liberty of Contract.

In this statement you practically admit
that acts of Congress for the protection of
sailors and men engaged In the equally
dangerous nut no more dangerous occupa-
ton of commerce on the seas are consti-
tutional, your contention seeming to be
that seamen are ignorant and improvident
and that 10 them the acts of Congress
are constitutional. but that brakemen and
other toilers on railroads are so highly in
the laws IF you will turn to the chapter
of Mr.. Ayers book on Moral Overstrain. -
TO which 7 have referred. you will find in
stance after instance selected out of the
many hundreds of instances in which the
nominal securing to working people of lib
erty Of contract under the theory that YOU
set forth has worked most cruel Injustice
to them.
The doctrine YOU set forth Is exactly the
kind of retrogressive doctrine 70 which
object, and to which, as I hold, all really
progressive men who have the welfare of
workingmen, and therefore the welfare of
all our citizens. at heart must object.
cannot imagine what definition could be
given Of the word ''retrogressive'' that
would not cover this case. It is Just pre-
cisely this so-called liberty of contract"
theory which hold to be in very fact an
utter misnomer. and I hold that II is
gross miscarriage of substantial Justice on
the part of the nation and the state to
allow such a doctrine to be successfully
maintained

Ups and Downs of One Piano.

Church-goers Sunday morning
witnessed the novelty of seeing
a piano hauled through the
streets of Fort Mill. The piano
is said to be the property of the
town. 1t was purchased some
time ago by funds raised for the
purpose by the Civic league and
is said to have been presented
to the municipality for use at
public entertainments in the
town hall. The piano is not in
good condition at present. 1t
has been roughly used. A few
months ago some one entered the
town hall and scratched a row of
cap KS across the face of the
piano. The scratching bespoke
the work of one poorly versed
in the art. But nobody laid
great stress upon the lack of
craftsmanship, those in whose
custody the piano had been left
perhaps consoling themselves
with the thought that the piano
might have been more lily
used-busted up with an axe,
for instance. Notwithstanding
the seeming lack of care of the
piano, it is still serviceable. One
day last week it was rented
to an alleged carnival company
which worked overtime in
Fort Mill last week buncoing
the unwary. The piano was
moved to the carnival grounds,
Saturday night the carnival COM
pany wound up a weeks profita-
BILE engagement with its gambling
games and quit the town. Like
wise the piano, which was left
standing or sitting does a piano
stand or sit?-in a cotton field
at the head of Main street.
There the piano stayed until Sun
day morning with no visible
covering except the elements.
Then it was removed to the
hall by an Industrious drayrnan.
But the door to the town hall is
not locked and the piano may
be scratched up some more soon
in which event there may be an
effort made to locate the initials
of the party who did the scratch
ing.

EMBLEM OF PALMETTO STATE
MUST FLOAT OVER SCHOOLS
Recent Act of General Assembly Must
Be Observed by Trustees Through
out the Commonwealth.

The board of trustees of the
Fort Mill graded school will at
once comply with the act which
was passed at the recent session
of the General Assembly re-
quiring that the State flag be
displayed on all public school
buildings. There are number
of other public schools in Fort
Mill township the trustees of
which probably will also comply
with the provisions of the act as
soon as it is called to their at
tention. If the act is generally
observed throughout the county,
as it doubtless will be, the Pal
metto emblem will become IA
miliar to everyone anu viii
stimulate State pride and pa
triotism, especially among the
school children, the purpose
which the author of the act,
Representative John J. McMa-
han, of Richland, had in mind
when he had it passed by the
Legislature. The act goes into
effect at once and is as follows:
That the State flag shall be
displayed daily, except in rainy
weather, from a staff upon the
State house and every court
house, one building of the State
university and of each State COL
lege, and upon every public
school building, except when the
school is closed during vacation.
That it shall be the duty of
the officer or officers in charge of
said buildings to purchase suit
able flags and cause them to be
displayed, the expense to be
borne out of the funds provided
for maintenance.
That it shall be the duty of
Clemson college to manufacture
in its textile department and sell
at approximate cost flags of
suitable sizes and correct design,
which shall consist Of blue, with
white crescent in the upper flag
staff corner, and white palmetto
tree in the centre, as prescribed
in the resolution adopted by the
General Assembly, January %,
1861, to be approved by the
secretary of the historical COM
mission.
That any person who mu-
tilates, Injuries or desecrates the
flag of the State wherever dis
played, as above provided, shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction shall be punished
by a fine of not more than $10O
or Imprisonment for not more
than 80 days" =

Victims of Another Mans Game.

John Doe proceedings were
instituted in Magistrate McElha-
ney's court Saturday morning by
A. B. Cook, a Pleasant Valley
farmer, against an attache of the
carnival company which showed
in Fort Mill last week charging
the defendant with swindling.
Cook claimed the man got So. 10
of the formers money in a gam
bling game. After hearing the
evidence Magistrate McElhaney
fined the man So and made him
return Cooks money. Eph Will
son and Tom Bennett are said to
have lost $24. so between them
by patronizing the carnival
games.

Fort Mill Times Correspondence
We have nothing special to re-
port from this section. We are
still top sideup and ahopin'. The
health of our neighbors is good,
and all are busy preparing their
land. Some are planting corn.
and as we write the Steel Creek
boulevard is lined with wagons
hauling up that precious dust
called guano. We heard one man
say he would buy all the mer-
chant would sell him on time and
put it and the seed in the ground
and turn it all over to Provi
dence to make the crop. Now,
we have always heard that Prov
idence is the LATEST nigger on
the plantation.
The small grain crop is not
very promising at this time.
The bluebirds, turtle doves and
whipporwills are serenading US
on the way.
Miss Johnnie May Faris, of the
Point section, is visiting rela-
tives in this neighborhood.
Miss May Coltharp, of Win
throp college, spent Sunday and
Monday with her parents here.
There is much being said these
days about the high cost of liv-
ing, but from a statement we
saw in the Columbia State a few
daye ago, President Johnson of
Winthrop and his corps of cooks
have got it down fine. They say
they can furnish a meal for less
than eight cents. We would be
delighted to board with them a
few days just to see how they
keep house. If | was a young
man | would make a desperate
effort to lasso one of those eco
nonomical cooks to go with me
along this rugged path.
Again we announce the advent
of the inevitable, ahominable, de-
testible, unscrupulsus, unprin-
cipled, nasty, filthy. famous and
VIGOROUSLY Infamous house fly
into society. 5.

LOCAL BASEBALL TEAM NEEDS
ASSISTANCE OF THE PUBLIC
If Fort Mill is to Be Represented on
the Diamond, the Fans" Must
Contribute.

The baseball days are almost
here, the gladdest of the year.
What is Fort Mill going to do
about baseball? In a few days
the spirit of baseball will move
the players to commence ac-
tivities closely allied to the ap-
preaching summer months, and
it behooveS the enthusiastic to
start at once healthful agitation
calculated to insure a good base
ball team for Fort Mill.
To be represented on the
diamond is well nigh as important
as representation provided for in
the legislative bodies of the
State and city, And a good base
ball team is almost as good adver-
tisement for a town as a good
body of men in the county's dele
cation to the General Assembly.
People who never heard of
Fort Mill will be attracted by
/ consistent notices of games won
-; IL tha Fort Mil! team hIla h1a
there is a good chance to nav1
a team that can win games from
the neighboring towns and
cities. No town of like size has
more promising amateurs in its
bounds, and all these will help
form team if encouraged.
There is but one way to 90
about it. The youth of the town
will furnish the talent. 1t is
to the business men that the
stripiings must look for financial
support. The young men GER
tainly are willing to exert them
selves for the honor of Fort Mill
and for the pleasure of playing
the game. The men of affairs
probably are equally willing to
support the team financially if
they are properly approached.
There have been good ball
teams in Fort Mill during the
past seveIr2l years. They have
been the result largely of individ-
ual effort on she part of few en-
thusiasts Who knew the benefits
of the game. This year concerted
action is desirable.

"The States Best Town" /"

Under the above caption. the
Columbia State is running short
articles from its South Carolina
news correspondents asking that
they give reasons why your
town" is the best in the State.
The Clover correspondent sends
in the following:
Clover is situated near the
North Carolina line in York
county, one of the most health
full sections to be found any,
where in the Piedmont section.
Its close proximity to the noun
tains of North Carolina furnishes
an abundance of pure air, which
is so essential to the health of
any community. Its water sup
ply is of the purest freestone.
The town is situated 715 feet
above the sea level, on sandy
ridge, which makes drainage
perfect and from the standpoint
of health can not be excelled
anywhere.
OlOVer Is on the man line OF
the Southern Power company's S
electric line, which provides
power for the different manu-
featuring enterprises and lights
the town.
AS a business point Clover
offers every inducement to per-
sons wishing to invest their
money. Clover cotton mills has
an enviable record as a money
maker.
The Bank of Clover. four
years old, offers its customers the
best to be had in banking circles.
Glover oil mill, new enter
prise, was organized last year and
bids fair to make dividend pay

CASE OF DR.. MAXCY G. LEE
RECALLED BY CARSON PARDON
The Darlington County Parrieide Re.
fused Pardon by Two Governors,
but Ansel Freed Him.

The case of DR.. Maxcy G. Lee,
who was pardoned from the
penitentiary by Governor Ansel
on April 6, 1907, after serving a
few years of a life. sentence for
killing his father, has been re-
called by the recent pardoning
of Fannie Carson by Governor
Ansel and several interesting
comments have been made in the
press about the extraordinary
circumstances surrounding the
killing of the elder DR., Lee, and
later the pardon of the young
physician, who was charged with
the deed
DR.. Maxcy G. Lee was tried
at the November term of court
in Darlington county in the year
1899 for the killing of his father.
He was convicted of murder, and
the verdict carrying the rec
ommendation to the mercy of the
court, he was sentenced to serve
a life term at the State prison.
DR.. Lee himself described the
killing in his petition to Governor
Ansel:
That on the 5th day of Oc-
tober, A. D. 1899, at the resi-
dence of the petitioner and his
l2ther, the deceased, where they
then llved, and had lived alone
for many years practicing their
profession together, in perfect
harmony and enjoying to an un-
usual degree the affection that
exists between father and son,
your petitioner and his father,
being and having been for several
days under the influence of
whiskey, by reason of which
your petitioner was deprived of
his reason and rendered tempo
rarily irresponsible for his acts,
became involved in a difficulty in
which the father was killed by
your petitioner without provoca-
ton and without any motive
whatsoever. That your petitioner
has no distinct recollection of
the circumstances attending the
difficulty or the killing and can
assign no motive whatever for
the crime, and can explain the
killing only upon the hypothesis
that he was temporarily crazed
by the excessive and protracted
use of whiskey."
There were numerous petitions
in this case during Governor
McSweeney's, Governor Hey
wards and during Governor
Ansels administrations. The
trend of many of the petitions
was that DR.. Lee was not in the
right frame of mind when he
committed the act, and that if he
had put up this defense he would
have been acquitted, he having
relied upon the defense of ac-
cidental killing.

INTEREST In COUNTY POLITICS
AS THE MEETINGS DRAW NIGH
The Voters are Beginning to Speculate
on the Years Candidates y -York's
Present Officers.

AS the time for the holding of
the Democratic club meetings
and the county convention ap-
proaches, the voters are begin
ming to manifest interest in
things political and are wonder
ING who will be the candidates
for the county offices in the
August primary and who will
ask to be sent to the General
Assembly from old York. The
meetings of the dozen or more
Democratic clubs in the county
will be held on Saturday, April
%, when club officers will be
elected for the next two years
and delegates chosen to the
county convention on Monday,
May 2. At the county conven-
tion the successor of w. B. Will
son, Jr., the present chairman,
will be elected, as will the dele
gates to the State convention
and a member of the State
Democratic executive committee,
and arrangements made for the
county primaries. The State con-
vention will be held In Columbia
on May 18. The executive COM
mitteman from York county is
j. c. Wilborn.
Among Fort Mill voters con-
siderable interest is developing
as to the next legislative dele
cation. The present delegation is
composed of w. 3. Wilson, Jr., of
Rock Hill; ]. P. Hollis, of Rock
Hill; J. S. Glasscock, of Roddeys.
and o. l.. Sanders, of Nc cConnells-
vile. Senator w. H. Stewards
term does no expire this year.
Mr.. Glasscock is the only mem
Der of the delegation who has
served more than one term. 1t is
not known whether any or all of
these gentlemen will offer for
reelection, but it seems that Mr..
Wilson does not care to be re-
turned to the Legislature, as a
statement was published in the
Rock Hill Herald some weeks
ago that he would not again be a
candidate and he has not denied
the accuracy of the statement.
The supposition is that Mr.. Hol-
lis will ask for reelection, as will
MIR. Glasscock. Mr.. Sanders has
not stated what he intends to do.
Two years ago Fort Mill was
left out In the county's repre-
Sentation for the first time in
years, S. H. Epps having failed
of reelection by a small majority.
1t Is said that friends of Mr..
Epps are trying to induce him to
enter the race this summer. If
he does not announce himself. it
Is practically certain that another
Fort Mill man will become a
candidate.
Successors to all the county
officers, except the sheriff and
clerk of court, will be elected in
August, The present county
officers are: Sheriff, Hugh G..
Brown; clerk of court, J. A.
Tate; supervisor, C. F. Gordon:
auditor, j. j. Hunter; treasurer,
Harry Neil; superintendent of
education, T E. McMackln:
