Fort Mill Roads.
Fort Mill Times: The great worth
OF the split-log drag to the roads was
demonstrated the past week In this
township, when Road Supervisor
Blankenship had all the principal roads
of the township gone over with the
drag. In many places the roads had
been cut up during the long wet spell
until they were we'll nigh impossible.
but the drag filled the ruts, smoothed
the surface Of the roads and made
travel much better. The streets Of the
town were also gone oyer and much
improved by the use Of she drag

dent Of the New Haven Medical as
ISOLATION, died this morning at his

Demonstration Agent Wanted.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday: The
need for United States government
farm demonstration agent in this sec
tion Is so apparent that r. T. Fewell
has interested Congressman Finley in
the matter and there Is reason to be-
lieve that a demonstration agent car
be secured. Mr.. Fewell informs the
Herald that, while he has taken the
lead in bringing the matter to Mr..
Finley's attention. he feels that II the
Chamber Of Commerce will come to
his assistance there will be much more
probability Of securing the appoint
ment Of demonstrator here. No
doubt the commercial body will be
willing to aid Congressman Finley In
pushing the proposition before the
United States agricultural department,
and II 1t is properly presented there Is
little doubt that an agent can be Sc
cured, as there Is not a more fruitful
field in the state for farm delnonstra-
ton work than in the section sur
Rock Hill. The government
Is conducting no more important work
for the advancement Of the agricul-
tural interests Of the country than the
farm demonstration work. It Is the
work which engaged the attention and
the best efforts of the late DIR. S. A.
for several years, and which
was popularized through his efforts
and made one Of the most important
factors In the movement to improve
farm conditions, especially In the
south.
Wants to Go to North Carolina.
A Fort Mill correspondent who is. no
doubt, speaking mainly for himself.
writes to the Charlotte Observer as
follows: Although physically Fort
Mill township Is only half way
in the 35th parallel and
the line between the Carolinas,
there Is no question but that In
sentiment the whole township Is

cent discussion among ten prominent
who happened together, re-
vealed that nine Of them were in ia
vor of making Catawba river the state
line, and a further disclosure was that
about the same proportion of those
present were natives Of North Caro-
lima or direct descendants. So 1t Is
over the whole township, the native
North State spirit Is everywhere. AL
though surprising ignorance has been
manifested Of just what Is required
In the matter, 1t is feared to be an in
proposition, that Is, the
changing Of the line. However, this
does not deter much serious talk ev-
cry day. Fort Mill township Is cut
off from the rest of the county and
state of South Carolina by the river,
the only connection being two expen-
sive but inconveniently located bridges,
which our people were taxed to erect. |
Across the river seems like a foreign
country, as compared with Mecklen-
burg county. Again, the people are
