We want to plead guilty to one
thing, and that is that our know
ledge of electrical terms is very
limited. We we're shown a bill
by w. ]. Fisk of the Meade

found the following: One No.
21794 Ok, portable; One No. F

wood box; one sleigh wood box
bell, and several others equally
unmeaning to us. A glance at

IRRIGATION AN UNQUALIFIED
SUCCESS

The gratifying news comes from
Washington that practically all of the
farmers who located on the various ir-
rigation projects throughout the coun-
try met their payments for water
privileges on the first of April. In
fact, many did not wait until the
final day, but settled as soon as they
realized from last seasons crop.
Practically the only delinquents are
men who fled on the land but never
occupied it.
The dispatches also state that "even
on the Carson ruckee project in Ne
vada, where conditions have been as
unfavorable as any could be, the re
ports show few deilnquents."
1t is possible that the conditions
are as unfavorable as any could be-
but this statement will not apply to
climate, soil or accessibility, as might
be inferred from reading the para,
graph quoted. The unfavorable condi-
lions likely refer to the rules ana
regulations imposed upon settlers by
the government.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of I'll
Eustach Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of te
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

BAPTISTS LEAD.

Hats off to the Baptists of
South Carolina! exclaims The
News and Courier. The zeal in
educational work manifested bv
them at their recent convention
IN Laurens must kindle general
admiration among the people of
this State irrespective of denomi-
national lines. The responsible
ties they have assumed are not
hight ones, but the spirit in which
they have been undertaken leaves
no doubt as to the result. The
generous provision made for Fur
man university and the Green
vile Female college, where ex-
tenSive bettermentS are to be
made, is as good a guarantee as
could be desired that the new
institution to be established at
Anderson will be adequately sup
ported; while the educational
commission created for the pur-
pose of assuming general over
sight of all the Baptist institu-
tons of learning in South Carolina
gives assurance, both in the
declaration of its purposes and
Units personnel, that these schools
will be conducted with intelli-
gence and will be a credit to the
denomination, to the communities
In which they are located and to
the State. The numerical leader
ship which they enjoy in South
Carolina is recognized by the
Baptlsts as imposing upon them
large responsibilities, and they in
tend to measure up to them.

Livery Stable Fire in Clover.

A disastrous livery stable fire
occurred in Clover Monday morn
ing resulting in loss estimated
at about $1,000. The burned
building, on which there was
$3.50 insurance, was owned by j.
M. Adams e Son, but the great
est loser from the fire was A. j.
Quinn, proprietor of the livery
business. Nine horses, a guam
tity of feed, harness, etc, be-
longing to Mr.. Quinn were de-
stroyed and his loss is placed at
81, 600, with $1,000 insurance.
Two other horses were destroyed
in the fire, these the property of
DR.. M. B. Neil and Wade Purs-
ley, r. F. d. carrier on route 4,
Glover. When the fire was dis
covered it had gained such head
way that it was impossible to
get any of the horses from the
burning building. Glover has no
fire-fighting facilities and moth
ing could be done to check the
flames.

Violating Game Laws.

A number of Fort Mill farm
ers residing in the Flint Hill sec

considerably annoyed by hunters

A few days ago two Charlotte
hunters who did not have the
nonresident license were discov-
cred on the lands of Joe Bennett
shooting birds. They were or
dered off the place by Mr.. Ben
nett, but paid no attention to his
warning of possible prosecution
for trespass and violating the
game laws.

not show that they were stolen

Many Liquor Circulars.

Never before perhaps since the
Fort Mill postoffice was estab-
lished half a century ago has
there been received here in the
same number of days as many
circular letters soliciting orders
for liquor as have come to the
patrons of the local office within
the last month. Most of the cir
cular letters are sent out by Vir-
ginia liquor houses, but not a few
of them come from Jacksonville
and Chattanooga. A day or two
ago a Fort Mill man received
three liquor circulars in one mail.

Fort Mill 20 be given a great
- advertising through the
agency of souvenir envelope.
several thousand of which have
been printed for local business
houses. On the address side of
the envelope is printed a half
tone picture of the electric plant
of the Southern Power company,
near town, the high school build
ing, a view of Main street and
Confederate park, with space in
the upper lefthand corner for
the return address. The work
is beautifully done. On the re-
verse side of the envelope is the
following sketch of the town:
Fort Mill is a progressive,
growing town of 1000 in the
heart of the far-famed Piedmont
region. 1t is located in the CEN
ire of rich agricultural country,
where lands which return profit
able yields of cotton, corn, oats,
hay, garden produce, fruit, etc,
can be bought at reasonable
prices.
The town is three miles from
the great hydro-electric plant of
the Southern Power company,
atfording economical power for
all kinds of manufacturing indus
tries.
Here there are good churches,
the schools are unsurpassed, the
streets well kept and electric
lighted. A new high school build
ing is just being completed at
cost of $4,000 and waterworks
are in prospect. The town is on
the main line of the Southern rail-
way, II south of Charlotte IN.
c. and 80 miles north of Colum-
bia. There are 25 good stores
in Fort Mill and the lines of the
local and long distance telephone
systems cover the town and
country like the wires Of a sieve.
There are two large cotton mills
and great brickmaking plant
here, and the town has one of
the best weekly newspapers, The
Times, in the State. The health
conditions are always good and
the climate is mild.
We want you here and if you
would hYe in a wide-awake COM.
munity, among a kind and hos
pltable people, come to Fort
Mill, S. c."

Succumbs to Accidental Gunshot.

James Hoke. 14-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Hoke,
who was accidentally shot in the
right leg while hunting Saturday
morning, December 3, few
miles south of town, died in a
Rock Hill hospital Saturday eve
ming at Z o'clock from the effects
of the wound, after suffering
intensely for a week. For day
or two following the accident
there was hope for the recovery
of the wounded boy, but his con
dition grew alarmingly worse
Friday and it was then seen that
his life could not be saved. al
though everything medical skill
could suggest was done for him
up to the last.
James was a bright boy and
was favorite with his school
mates at the graded school. He
was in the eighth grade and was
a member of the Presbyterian
Sunday school. His body was
brought from Rock Hill to the
home of his parents Sunday
morning and Sunday afternoon
was Inferred in the family plot
in the town cemetery. Univer-
sal sympathy is felt for the
stricken parents and sister and
brothers in their sore affliction.
The funeral of James was attend
ed by many friends of the boy
and his family.

Better Mail Service Wanted.

Recently there has been some
talk among the business men of
the town of petitioning the post
office department for Sunday
mail service to and from Fort
Mill on train No. q, southbound.
Mail is handled for the local post
office on train No. %, northbound.
on Sundays, and Fort Mill is the
meeting point for these trains,
but for some reason unknown to
those whose business would be
facilitated by like service on No.
27, the southbound train neither
puts on nor takes off mail here
on Sundays. 1t is claimed that
the service would necessitate
very little additional labor in the
local Office, as the mail would be
handled with that of No. 28 as is
done six days in the week. Con-
siderable Inconvenience, it is
further claimed, is often oc-
casioned patrons of the Fort Mill
office by letters and other mail
matter for southern points lying
in the office from Sunday morn
ing until Monday morning, be-
cause No. 27 does not handle
Fort Mill mail on Sunday.
