State convention. composed for the
most part of negroes met in Columbia

not repetition of the free-for-all fight
of the last convention. there was much
confusion, the meeting ending in a

NEW TEXTILE '.HOOL TO OPEN
FOR CAr JLINA MILL WORKERS

A matter of considerable interest to
the cotton mill operatives of South
Carolina is the announcement of the
opening of the textile school for opera
tives at Monaghan mill. in Greenville,
on the Both inst. The work is under
the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A. of the
Monaghan mill and an able corps of
teachers will give instruction during
the evening hours on the fundamentals
of education, mill calculations. textile
designing and mechanical drawing.
The movement has been worked up
to for some months past, it is under
stood, and the authorities of the mills
are giving it support and encourage
ment. While the beginning is small.
there appears to be in the minds of
those who are back of the movement
a purpose of enlarging the school. if it
is sufficiently patronized. and possibly
giving 1t building of its own, with
proper facilities to give mill operatives
courses which will prepare them as
experts in the textile branches. A
number of pamphlets have been printed
for distribution. and will be placed in
the hands of all interested in the next
few days.
While the school is located at
Monaghan mills, it will be open to any
operative from any other cotton mill
who wishes to take these lessons.

CLEMSON DEPARTMENT ADVISES
AGAINST "CREAMERY SHARKS"

According to this weeks bulletin of
the Clemson college extension work,
there is no field in South Carolina for
cooperative creameries. ''The cream
cry promoter sharks have invaded sec
tions of the Piedmont belt of this
State, says the bulletin, land we un-
derstand have succeeded in organizing
at least one creamery company and are
now at work in other communities. In
the sections in which they are working
it is safe to say that there are not
enough cows to supply the local de
mand for milk, cream and butter, and
yet the people are led to believe that a
plant depending upon good milk sup
ply for success can be profitably oper-
ated. To mislead people into such an
enterprise is nothing but deceit and
graft, and the people in every commu-
nifty of the State should be on guard
against such dealers in gold bricks
The establishing of creameries in
sections where there is practically no
dairy interest and where local markets
pay more for dairy products than a
creamery can possibly pay is absolute
folly, as is witnessed by the experience
of Georgia, Kentucky and other States.
ceived by smooth tousucd sellers of
machinery who charge about 80 per
cent. more for their machinery than it
can be purchased for elsewhere
''If any section of the State is inter
ested in creamery it should carefully
investigate the milk supply first and
then form a company of interested
men, buy the machinery necessary to
equip it at reasonable price and begin
operations on a practical business basis
and not be rushed into an enterprise
pushed forward by set of men who
have no interest in its success further
than the sale of the machinery at
eXorbitant prices. Banks and other
business undertakings first investigate
the possibilities of success before offices
are erected, but the doctrine of the
creamery promoter is to get the build
ing and equipment first regardless of
other conditions.
~ "The extension department of Glenn
son college viii! be glad to visit any
community interested in creameries
and advise them as to the requirements
for successful operation and assist them
in every way in establishing such an
enterprise should the outlook for sue
cess appear favorable" "

Too Many School Bo oks.

There is no end to the making of
books, especially school books, and the
school children are overburdened with
books and confused by the multiplied
tion of the subjects which they are sup
posed to study, says the Sumter Item.
Education as practiced today is on the
extensive, rather than the intensive,
plan, and the result is, as a rule, a
smattering of wide range of subjects,
instead of thorough knowledge of ele-
mental and essential facts. 1t seems
to be the aim and purpose of the public
school course of instruction, with its
many books and divers subjects, to give
encyclopaedia knowledge, instead of
laying firm foundation of elementals
upon which the matured mind NAV
build as natural ability, time and op-
portunity may permit. Too much in
struction, too much education, between
the ages of six and sixteen is as unde-
sirable as too little.

ADVOCATE OF EXCLUSIVENESS

Even if they don't steal anything that

any use for. Does a sensible man in

door against the cheap skates, and the
man who wants to get into the house to
propose to the youngest daughter has to
have his shoes blacked and clean set
of teeth. A town should be just as ex-
elusive as private family. Instead of
inviting all the four hushers in the

we should get a spiked club and chase
out a lot of undesirable citizens"

rade if did the chasing" declared the
grocer, savagely.

Benton Goes to Chattanooga.

Rube Benton, the Lancast er county
baseball player who created sensation
IN the cities of the South Atlantic
league early in the season which closed
few weeks ago by his phenomenal
pitching, has been sold to the Chat
tanooga team of the Southern league
by the Cincinnati Nationals. Benton
was bought from Macon three months
ago by Cincinnati, the consideration for
the Georgia city in the deal being
$1,000, which was said to be the high
est price ever paid for player from a
Class ID team. But Rube has been a
frost in the National league, though it
Is said in his behalf that with a year
or two of seasoning in the Southern
league he will show up with sufficient
class to get back in the ranks of the
majors. He is young and has plenty of
time yet to develop.

Oscar L. Potts in Federal Court.

Oscar l.. Potts. n former citizen of
Fort Mill, who moved from here to
Rock Hill some years ago, is in trouble
in Charlotte Friday night Potts was
standing on ''the square" and became
angered because he thought A. !.
Blandis. a mail carrier, drove his wagon
too close to him. Potts attacked the
mail carrier with knife and made a
number of cuts across his clothing.
Fortunately none of them penetrated
the flesh to any depth, but the shirt of
Mr.. Blandis was literally slit into shrcds.
Potts was locked up on the charge of
assault with deadly weapon.
Saturday morning Potts was tried in
the recorders court for the assault
upon Brands and was fined SIS and the
costs. Upon the conclusion of the
trial in the city court, Potts was ar
rested upon warrant charging assault
upon government employee, while the
latter was in the discharge of his duties.
He was sent up to the Federal court
under a $3.50 bond by United States
Commissioner Cobb. At the hearing
before the commissioner, Potts was
represented by counsel, who contended
that while the offense charged was a
violation of the Federal law, his client
had already been tried for the same
otTense in State court, which barred
any further trial. The contention of
counsel embodies point of law which
will be watched with interest in its
progress through the Federal court.

Theodore McGraw Essays Suicide.

Theodore McGraw, some years ago a
weaver in a Fort Mill cotton mill. at
tempted to commit suicide in Charlotte
Saturday afternoon by cutting his
throat with a pocket knife. He was
walking on west Trade street and pull
ing the knife from his pocket, slashed
his throat three or four times. He fell
on the street within a few feet of
where he had tried to end his life and a
bystander ran up and wrapped butch
er's apron around the wounds. McGraw
was then taken to a hospital. His con-
dition is said to be serious.
McGraw's home is in Rock Hill. He
has had a rather checkered career.
Some years ago he was convicted in the
court at Yorkville of breaking into a
freight car of the Southern railway at
Rock Hill and served term in the pen
itentiary for the offense. He is also
said to have been in other trouble.

DOMESTIC TROUBLE PROMPTS
ROCK HILL PASTOR TO RESIGN

The Rev. II. r. Mills probably will
be relieved of the pastorate of st.
Johns Methodist church. Rock Hill.
In statement given the press Tues
day, Presiding Elder Oden. of the
Rock Hill district, to whom Mr.. Mill,

reason for Mr. Mills action differences
between Mr. and Mrs. Mills. The state

Mr.. Mills had separated from his wife

The above is in brief a fair statement
of the case"

Offense to Teach Slaves TO Read.

that ''if any person shall hereafter
teach any slave to read or write. or
shall aid or assist in teaching any slave
to read or write, or cause or procure
any slave to be taught to read or write
such person, if free white person.
upon conviction thereof, shall. for each
and every otfense, against this act. be
fined not exceeding $lOO, and impris
oned not more than six months: or if a
free person of color, shall be whipped
not exceeding 80 lashes. and fined not
exceeding $50, at the discretion of the
court of magistrates and freeholders
before which such free person of color
is tried; and if a slave, to be whipped
not exceeding so lashes, the informer
to be entitled to one half of the fine
and to be a competent witness. And
If any free person of color or slave
shall keep any school, or other place of
instruction, for teaching any slave or
free person of color to read or write
such free person of color or slave shall
be liable to the same fine, Imprisonment
and corporal punishment, as are by this
act imposed and inflicted on free per

hat was rather peculiar argu-
ment advanced by Mr. Fred Minis in The
Times last week in reference to the
patriotism of Mr.. S. S. McNinch."
said a well known Fort Mill citizen
yesterday. II do not doubt that Mr..
Minis statement that Mr.. McNinch
readily agreed to pay his proportionate
part of the tax necessary to erect
the new school building in Fort Mill is
true. Mr.. Minis would not have made
the statement had it not been true.
But it is possible that Mr.. McNinch is
not as patriotic as appears at first
blush. He is the proprietor of the
Charlotte Brick company. whose plant
is two miles south of Fort Mill. This
company manufactures brick and sells
them to the public There was no
secret of the intention Of the board OF
trustees of the Fort Mill graded school
to erect the new building of brick. Like
ly enough Mr.. McNinch had heard of
this. Then he may have concluded that
the trustees would find it more con
yenient To secure the brick of him than
to have them shipped in from a dis
tance. He got the order for the brick
and it is fair to assume that he did not
sell them TO the trustees at cost. He
is generally accredited with being
good business man. There are many
patriotic people in the world "
