An Extravagant Legislature.

Writing to his home paper, the
Lancaster News, Representative
George w. Jones, of Lancaster
county, recently had the follow
ing to say anent the extrava-
gance of the Legislature:
This is the most eXtravagant
Legislature that | have ever seen.
Ihe great majority of its mem
bers are professional men and
a lot of these young men are
fresh from college and not many
OF them have any general infor-
nation about matters of general
import; that is to say, they do
not understand or appreciate the
conditions of the great mass of
the people of the State. This
fact is demonstrated by the quick
manner in which they act on all
matters and expenses of State
and county. They are ever ready
to vote on fee bills, appropriation
bills, endowment funds, salary
grabs, increase in number of
offices and big salaries. This is
verified by the heavy and un-
necessary appropriation made
which in many instances could
and should have been put off until
next session: in fact, many of
them should have been killed at
this session. Our higher institu-
tions of learning are inveterate
and unreasonably insistent in
their demands upon the State,
and in my opinion this is a mat
ter that in the near future must
strike rock bottom. The rural
schools are more the hope of the
country than the high schools
for the reason that all things
must have a foundation.

LOCAL SCHOOL ACT AMENDED,
POPULAR ELECTION OF BOARD

BY adopting an amendment in
troduced in the senate by Mr..
Stewart and in the house by Mr..
Beamguard to section 2 of an act
creating special school district
No. % in York county the Gen
eral Assembly has legislated out
of office the board of trustees of
the Fort Mill graded school, and
hereafter the trustees of the local
school will be elected by the peo-
pie instead of vacancies occurring
on the board being filled by the
trustees themselves as has been
done in the past. A numerously
signed petition of the voters of
the district and patrons of the
school was sent to Senator Stew
art several weeks ago praying
that the law be so amended as to
give the people the right to select
the trustees and the amendment
Just adopted is the result of the
petition.
The law provides that an cleo
tion is to be held in Fort Mill for
nine trustees of the school be-
tween the first of April and the
first of June Of the present year,
the date of the election to be
fixed by the present board. Only
qualified electors may participate
in the election. There is every
indication that the election of
the new board of trustees, upon
whom will devolve the selection
of the teachers of the school for
next year, will be the most spir-
tied held in Fort Mill in years.
The affairs of the school have
not been run to the entire salts
faction of the patrons for some
time and the suggestion is made
that changes in the teaching
force could be made with profit
to the school.

Early Gardening.

AS the time to begin planting
spring gardens is at hand, the
bulletin of Clemson college this
week containing Suggestions to
amateur gardeners" is of timely
interest:
Frost-proof cabbage or cauli-
flower plants may be planted now
without danger of being injured
by cold. The plants should be
set in rows 3 feet apart and "a
inches apart in the row and in
serted in the ground up to the
first leaf, leaving the entire stem
covered with soil. The frost
proof plants or plants that have
grown in the open ground can be
obtained from growers in the
southern part of the State who
make business of growing these
plants.
English or garden peas may
be planted any time during the
month. For best results the seed
should be planted about 5 to 6
inches deep. 1t has been OBJ
served that the most successful
gardeners do not plant their gar
den pea seed more than 2 1-2 to
3 inches deep.
The following vegetables may
be planted in the open ground
now without danger of being
injured by frost: Beets, lettuce,
kale, onion seed and sets, radish-
es, parsnips, parsley, satisfy and
turnipS.
After the ground has been
thoroughly prepared and ferti-
lized, the above named vegeta-
bles may be planted in rows
about "a to 80 inches apart and
the seed soWn continuously in
the row. After the plants have
become 2 to 3 inches tall, they
should be thinned out, leaving
the plants from l to inches
apart in the row. Later on, if
necessary, they may be thinned
out still! some more.
While parsnips. carrots and
satisfy should be planted in the
early spring, they are usually
not used until the fall. Howev-
er, for best results they SHOULD
be planted not later than the
middle of March.
Celery seed should be sown al
this season in a cool, moist place,
preferably on the north or west
side of d building. The seed may
be sown in rows about 6 inches
apart and covered very lightly
with fine soil or broadcast anC
slightly raked in and the grounC
lightly rolled or packed.

New Telephone Directory.

MIR. S. l.. Meacham has been
busy for the last day or two de-
livering to the 400 subscribers
of his Fort Mill and Pineville
telephone exchanges a new direc-
tory which came from the press
Saturday. The directory is care
fully gotten up and is almost free
of errors. The pages of the di-
rectory devoted to the Fort Mill
exchange give the street, public
highway or section in which the
subscriber lives, a feature which
is a decided improvement over
former editions of the directory.
There are many new names in
the directory, indicating that the
telephone development in this
section is continuous.

Rear-end Collision at Pinevilie.

One man was slightly hurt, a
caboose and freight car were torn
up and there was a delay of
several hours to Southern pas
senger train No. 35 and freight
train No. 63, both southbound. as
result of a rear-end collision
of the trains at Pineville, just
across the State line, early
Monday morning. The freight
train reached the town first and
was on the main line preparing
to take the siding, but, according
to the statement of a member of
of one of the crews. the fiagman
of the freight train had failed to
90 out to protect his train against
the passenger train, which was
due to arrive, hence the collision.
Robt. A. Barclay, a well-digger.
whose home is said to be in Char
lotte. but who is employed near
Pineville, was q passenger on
No. 80 and was on the platform
ready to alight when the crash
came. He was slightly injured.

YORK COMMISSIONERS TO SELL
PART OF COUNTY HOME FARM

At the recent session of the
General Assembly a number of
amendments to the laws for York
county were adopted and the
county commissioners were au-
thorized to sell to the highest
bidder 800 of the 400 acres of the
county poor farm, the sale to be
held during the present year, and
to purchase a new site and erect
suitable buildings for the county
home. The poor farm is within
l 1-2 miles of Yorkville and is
said to be good land which should
bring about $50 per acre. An
amendment to the general law
governing cotton weighers was
adopted which includes York
county, giving the farmers of the
county the right to select their
cotton weighers. The law for
York county now is that the
county commissioners shall ap-
point cotton weighers selected by
the cotton growers of the several
communities in the county, the
appointments to be good for two
years.

Monday Last Day for Tax Returns

Monday was the last day for
making tax returns for the year
and word comes from Yorkville
that the Office of County Auditor
Hunter presented an unusual
scene of activity all day, due to
the presence OF many who had
failed to make their returns up
to that time. In Fort Mill Magis-
trate McElhaney has been taking
the returns of those who failed to
90 before the auditor for the pur-
pose when he visited this place
several weeks ago. and it is not
thought that the books will show
many delinquents in Fort Mill
township. The penalty for fail
ure to make tax returns after
February 20 is 80 per cent. and
it is understood that the penalty
will have to be paid by all delin-
quents.

Governor Vetoes Acts.

Refusing to affix his signature,
Governor Blease has vetoed quite
a number of the more important
bills which were passed by the
General Assembly and ratified as
acts. Among these probably the
most important was the act pro-
viding for the distribution to the
public schools Of the dispensary
fund of 500, 600 and the act re-
moving ministers of the gospel,
newspaper men and bank cash
iers from the exempted list of
persons not liable to jury duty.
Another bill of Importance which
the governor has vetoed provides
for commission form of gov
ernment in certain cities.

SENATOR TILLMAN'S HEALTH
CAUSES SOME APPREHENSION

Reports sent throughout the
country Saturday night to the
effect that Senator Tillman had
suffered a collapse in the senate
Saturday while attempting to de-
liver a eulogy on the life of the
late Senator Clay of Georgia have
caused considerable apprehension
to be expressed on the part of
Senator Tllman's friends in
Washington and elsewhere.
While it is true that Senator
Tillman is not near the same he
was physically before he suffered
his severe illness last year, and
does not exert himself in debates,
he is able to transact his ordinary
business in his office and to be on
the floor at the sessions of the
senate. He is still believer in
physical exercise and takes his
accustomed walks from the capi-
tol to his apartments. at the
Hotel Normandie, every after
noon when the weather is good.
This gives him a walk of about
mile and a half.

Not From PineyilIe.

If there is any truth in the
story printed in a Charlotte pa
per Friday that a wayward Pine
vile girl was arrested in Char
lotte Thursday afternoon and
given a hearing in the recorders S
court Friday morning on the
charge of vagrancy, careful in
quiry by The Times of a number
of Pineville citizens has failed
to elicit any information as to
the probable identity of the girl.
The story said the girl claimed
her home was in Pineville and
expressed a desire to return to
it. She was not found guilty by
the recorder, but he advised her
to return home. The girl claimed
to be a member of good family.

His Name Lives.

The official postal guide of the
United States shows az towns
and cities named Washington,
or with Washington as a part of
the name, such as Washington
vile. 1t is said that there are
364 fire companies named after
the first president. Hs is honored
by more than 10000 meat mar
kets which have been named for
him. Eighty-four steamboats, are
called after this great historic
figure. If Washington had not
been born, five mountains, 2O
lakes, 40 springs and seven
rivers would have sought for
different names. 1t is said that
1900 children are named for
George Washington every year.
This makes about $50, 600 George
Washingtons living at the same
time. There are Washington
halls, Washington hotels, Wash
ington clubs, Washington So
cieties, Washington streets, and
would-be Washington generals
and presidents.

Application of First National Approved

A Washington special to The
State Tuesday morning was as
follows: The application of the
First National Bank of Fort Mill
to engage in business has been
approved by the secretary of the
treasury. The capital is $25, 600,
and the directors are T. b.
Spratt, T. S. kirkpatrick, J. l..
Spratt, l.. A. Harris and j. w.
Ardrey."
Capt. T. B. Spratt, cashier of
the First National Bank Of Fort
Mill, stated yesterday morning
that the foregoing dispatch
doubtless was authoritative, and
that the bank hoped to open its
doors for business by the first of
March. There has been some
delay in the work on the bank
building, but the building is now
nearing completion and will be
ready for occupancy in about a
week. The fixtures to be used
by the bank have been completed
and are ready for shipment tc

An Unlucky Milepost.

Milepost No. %, four miles
south of Rock Hill, seems to be
an unlucky place for Southern
railway passenger trains. Mon
day morning for the eighth time
in the last six months an acci-
dent occurred to the train of
Capt. Walter Brown, No. 80,
northbound, in the neighborhood
of the 29th milepost, resulting in
a delay of several hours. For
tunately none of the accidents to
the trains at this point has been
serious.

Boys Corn Club Saturday.

There will be a meeting of the
York County Boys Corn club in
Yorkville Saturday and all the
boys who expect to join the club
are urged to be present. Those
who expect to compete for the
years prizes must become mem
bers Of the club on or before the
first day of March, as the club
roll will be sent to Washington

$3.50 for Clemson Baptist Church.

A substantial contribution of
$40. so was made by the Fort Mill
and Flint Hill Baptist churches
Sunday toward the erection of
the proposed Baptist church at
Clemson college. Sunday morn
ing a missionary sermon was
preached to the Fort Mill congre-
cation in the interest of the
church fund by the Rev. T. B.
Mccall, Baptist missionary pastor
at Clemson college, and that after
noon a similar sermon was
preached to the Flint Hill con-
gregation. For years the Bap-
tist congregation at Clemson has
worshiped in the college chapel,
but it is thought the church work
could be pushed to greater ad-
vantage with an independent
building for the denomination.
The work of raising the fund is
progressing satisfactorily and it
is planned to begin work on the
building in few months.
