The market end of fruit growing
this year is bringing many sharp eyed
pilgrims to Chicago, and the whole
sale houses are called upon to give
pointers" on how to get more money
for fruit. The fruit farmer seems to
have walked up business-wise. One
wrote: "Of the bonanza, profits. I
have learned, are in the market end.
When. see apples on hotel bill at
20. % and 40 cents each, I want to
grow the variety that is served at
such prices and sell them to the man
who supplies that high cost of high
living trade. Is there anything new
in variety, pack or 1abel?" Records
of the winter show great difference
in prices paid for different varieties.
In apples alone the difference means
millions of dollars, as several million
barrels went into storage. When

FOR BETTER SCHEDULES
CHARLOTTE TO COLUMBIA

Although nothing had been
heard in some time of the move
ment started in Rock Hill to
have the Southern railway put
on extra daily passenger train
between Charlotte and Colum-
bia or to change the schedules
of the present trains it now
seems that the matter has taken
on new life and that the rail
road people probably will take
action in the near future. Dis
cussing the proposition the Rock
Hill Herald of Friday had this
to say:
The Greater Charlotte Club
has joined forces with Rock Hill
to secure change of schedules
on the Charlotte-Columbla di-
vision, or an additional train each
way daily. For some time Rock
Hill has been wanting easier ac-
cess to Charlotte on the North
and Columbia on the South, or
rather a schedule by which per-
sons can leave here III the mid
die of the day for each city.
1t is now proposed to have a
train leave Columbia at $40 a. m.,
arriving at Rock Hill at lilo,
making connections with the
trains from Lancaster and York
vile and reaching Charlotte
about noon. Also a train leav-
ing Charlotte at 1910, arriving
at Rock Hill in time to make
connections with the l O'Clock
train for Lancaster and arriving
at Columbia at 4::15 p. m.
AS this change of schedule or
the additional train would also
be of service to Lancaster people
it is expected that that city will
also join in the effort to secure
better passenger service out OF
Rock Hill.
At present one desiring to go
to Charlotte has to leave at 8:35
and remain until ABS p M, or go
to Charlotte at $50 p. m., and
sremian until the next day. Or
jgoing to Columbia one has to
| leave at 7:30 a. M, or wait un-
til $50 p. m. With the proposed
schedule in effect person could
90 to Charlotte at $3.50 and re-
turn at |. or could go at II o'clock
and return at $50. Going to
Columbia one could go down at
l O'Clock and return at 9:15.

False Statement About Baptist Bible.

When We admire people it is
always a cause of worry when
we hear that they have done
things that seem to US unfortu-
nate, and for this reason, when
we saw in some of our exchanges
that the Baptists had gotten out
Baptist Bible, we were deeply
grieved.
OF course we recognized the
right of every church to place its
own construction upon Bible
doctrines, and to translate the
Bible so as to conform with their
construction, but we regretted
that they should raise any bar
rier between that fellowship of
the saints which we have en-
ioyed with them.
Brother Johnston, of Charity
and Children, than whom no one
in the State is better posted on
Baptist doings, has assured US
that the reports were twisted,
that the Baptists as d denomina-
ton have done no such thing,
but that some enterprising Phila-
delphia firm has gotten out such
Bible in order to turn an honest
penny, and that the great Bap-
tist Church, while believing that
Immerse is a better translation
OF the Greek than Baptize, still
hold to the old Bible.
We are not surprised to heal
this, for they are a fine folk, and
love the old Book too much to be
tinkering with it. t.-Presbyteriar

YORK COUNTY SCHOOLS
WIN IN STATE CONTEST

At the meeting in Columbia
late Friday evening of the COM
mittee of the State Rural School
Improvement association the win
ners of the various prizes of the
several counties of the State were
announced. The value of the
first prize for the county is S25;
second prize, SIS, and third
prize, $40. In York county the
school at India Hook won first
place; Hickory Grove, second
place, and Hopewell, third place.
Prizes were also awarded to the
three rural schools of the State
showing the greatest improve
ment during the year, but the
York schools failed to share in
these prizes.
In several counties of the State
no schools entered the contest
for prizes for improvement. In
most of the counties, though, the
contest for the prizes was close.
Miss Leila Russell, superinten-
dent of the York county associa-
ton, attended the State meeting
Friday.

Site for York Courthouse Unsettled.

1t will be recalled, says a York
vile special, that at the recent
general election the voters OF
York County approved propo-
sition to issue SIS, 600 worth of
bonds to build a new court house
at Yorkville. The act was
passed at the last session of the
Legislature, and, while it was
the intention of those who framed
it that it should provide for dis
posing Of the present court house
and its site and to give the CON-
mission named in the act au-
thority to select a new site and
institute condemnatory proceed
ings, provided it thought wise to
do so, 1t subsequently developed
that the law as passed was so
defective with reference to these
points that there was grave
doubt as to whether the neces-
sary steps could be legally taken,
therefore for the present mat
tiers are at a standstill, and it is
probable that the final decision

Next Attraction at Auditorium.

The next attraction to be given
in Fort Mill by the Radcliffe
Lyceum bureau will be on the
evening of January l, when the
Floyd Company, a trio of re-
fined entertainers, will appear at
the auditorium. The Floyds are
highly spoken of by the press.
The company has been in the
front rank of lyceum entertain
ers for more than 20 years, and
have kept abreast of the times
by inventing and presenting the
most startling novelties in their
peculiar line of work. An
evenings entertainment by the
Floyds is said to possess every
possible point of excellence,
beautiful and expensive par
aphernalia, rich costumes, bril-
liant stage settings, etc. The
auditorium management feels
safe in endorsing these artists
as strictly tirst-class in every
way.
Admission to the entertain
ment will be 35 cents for adults;
20 cents for children.

Blease CongratuIates Donaghey.

Governor Blease has sent Gov
ernor Donaghey, of Arkansas,
who liberated $50 convicts in
that State, a telegram Of con-
gratulations, says a Columbia
news item. He has put me out
of business, said Governor
Blease, who was making up the
list of Christmas pardons and
paroles. If the next Legisla-
ture does not abolish the hosiery
mill at the penitentiary South
Carolina can look out for SINH
lar experience to that of Ar
kansas, continued the Gov
ernor referring to the liberation
of the $50 convicts in Arkansas.
He says, in substance, that un-
less the Legislature abolishes the
hosiery mill at the penitentiary,
which he has fought so long and
bitterly, clubbing it "a tuberculo-
SIS incubator, a." he Will follow the
Arkansas Governors example
and liberate the convicts.
You can say for me that |
will assuredly veto any COM
pulsory education law that the
Legislature might pass" said
the Governor, in commenting on
the proposed compulsory educa-
ton bill, which Senator Hall will
introduce at the coming General
Assembly. The Governor re-
ferred to the fact that opposing
a compulsory education law was
one of the planks in the platform
on which he won his race for re-
election and he said that he pro-
posed carrying out that plank.

Where viii Baptist Sanitarium Go?

BaptlstS throughout the State
will await with interest the de
cision of the committee to select
a location for the Baptist SAM
turium at its meeting to be held
in Columbia December 81. A
number Of cities of the State are
said to be anxious to secure the
hospital, and the committee will
consider the proposition of each
city at its meeting the last day
of this month.
The proposed hospital is to be
a big thing, but as yet no figures
have been given as to the proba-
BILE cost of the institution. Bap-
fists hospitals in other States
range in value from 100000 to
$450,00 and it is not believed
that the cost of the South Caro-
lima institution will fall short of
the frst-named figure.

Mrs. Mary ]. Bell Dead.

Mr.. J. w. Ardrey, of this city,
received a telephone message
Thursday morning from Provi-
dence announcing the death
Wednesday night of his sister,
Mrs. Mary Jane Bell.
Mrs. Bell had been in poor
health for several months. She
was 76 years of age. Before
her marriage she was Miss Mary
Jane Ardrey and was born and
reared in Lower Providence not
FAR from Harrison Methodist
church, with which she united
in early childhood and of which
she was a consistent and in
huential member.
She is survived by three chill
dren, namely, Mr.. j. A. Bell, of
Charlotte, of the law firm of
Pharr & Bell; Mrs. W. E. Gun
ningham, of Providence, and
Mrs. W. S. Rome, of Durham.
She is also survived by one sis
ter, Mrs. Sam Elliott, of Provi-
dence, and one brother, Mr..
John w. Ardrey, of Fort Mill.
Mrs. E. M. Ardrey, of this city,
was a sister-in-iaw. Mrs. Bell
for many years had lived at the
old Bell home place with her
daughter, Mrs. Cunningham.
The deceased was universally
esteemed as a woman of ex-
ceptionally fine character, and
was noted for her charitable
spirit and regard for others.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at Harrison church Friday
morning and the interment was
in the burying ground at that
place.

Diversified Farming Profitable.

That the farmers of York

other than cotton was illustrated
at Rock Hill Saturday in the

mittee appointed by the con-
testants in the National Un-

rate acres contest, on which We're
planted corn, potatoes, pinders
and cotton. The prizes were
awarded as follows:

amounted to S575. p.
S. w. Barron, $75. first prize

Postoffices Will Not Be Moved.

Officials of the postofice de-
partment at Washington have
denied the report that postoffices
in small towns must all be with
in quarter of a mile of railroad
depots on account of the parcel
post and because the railroads
would not deliver mail to post
offices beyond the quarter-mile
limit. The report grew out OF
an interview a treasury depart
ment official had with newspaper
men relative to the. parcel post
situation. Officials of the post
office department say that no
offices will be moved so that they
will come within a quarter of a
mile of railroad depots, and in
the future Offices will be located
as heretofore at the most con-
venient place for the public. If
it is. possible to locate new post
Offices within a quarter of a mile
Of railroad depots and still be
convenient to the public such
locations will be made, say de-
partment officials. The interests
back of parcel post are strong,
but they are hardly strong
enough to make Uncle Sam move
his postofices just for their own
convenience.

COUNCIL WILL PROVIDE
FOR FIGHTING FLAMES

At a special meeting Thursday
evening of city council a petition
signed by a large number of
residents of the city praying that
council take some steps to pro-
vide protection from fire was
presented. The matter was CIV
en- lengthy discussion and finally,
upon the motion of Alderman
Young, a resolution was adopted
authorizing Councilman Meach-
am to get prices with view to
purchasing one dozen chemical
fire extinguishers, a chemical
engine and truck, together with
the necessary ladders, axes, etc.
1t is probable also that number
of fire telephone alarms will be
installed in the homes of our
people in the near future.
1t is the purpose of council to
erect a small building at some
point near the center of the city
in which to house the chemical
engine. The chemical extin-
guishers will be placed in the
homes of different residents,
probably three to each ward, to
be named by council. The tele-
phone fire alarms, if installed,
will be placed in the homes
where these extinguishers are to
be kept. But before placing
these appliances council will
exact from each citizen a promise
that the property will be well
taken care of and that said citi-
zen will respond promptly to the
fire alarm.
Inasmuch as the chemical en-
CINE and truck will be housed
in the center of the town and
some minutes would naturally be
required in securing these lad
ders, council passsd a resolution
urging each citizen to provide
a ladder for his or her premises
in order that the first fireman to
reach the scene of a fire would
experience no difficulty or delay
in reaching the roof or any part
of building where the fire might
originate. These ladders could
of course vary in length, accord
ing to the height of the house on
which they we're intended to be
used. 1t is figured that an ordi-
nary ladder would cost little if
any in excess of 81 and could be
made here at home, or if pre-
ferred could be ordered at about
the same price. Councilman
Meacham will be pleased to fur
nish the addresses of concerns
from whom ladders may be
ordered to each citizen asking
for the information.
1t is needless to say that many
of the fires in this city in the
past could have been eXtinguish-
ed had even a ladder been at
hand and it is hoped that every
citizen will at once comply with
councils request.
