For the York Fair.

The committee in charge of
the York county fair is working
to perfect the organization and
arranging plans for the big fair
next fall. The general COM
mittee has appointed a subcom-
mittee with authority to conduct
the campaign for stock and to
arrange the preliminary details
as they see fit.
The outlook this year is bright
for monster fair. The farm
ers are already being urged to
plan for exhibits and to save
their exhibits. Demonstrators
j. R. Blair and A. A. McKeown
are both heartily in favor of the
fair and will give any assistance
desired in preparing and caring
for exhibits.

Will Vote on Bonds.

The committee. consisting of
j. l.. Spratt and C. S, Link, ap-
pointed at mass meeting of the
citizens held some weeks ago to
discuss the proposition of in
stalling a water system in Fort
Mill, has been busily engaged
for some days securing names to
the petition for an election on the
question and it is thought now
that a sufficient number have
signed the petition to meet the
laws requirement. 1t is likely
that a special meeting of city
council will be held during the
week at which the petition will
be presented and if found to con-
form with the law the election
will be ordered. The law re-
quires that a commission of
three, to be known as the Public
Works commission, be elected by
the people and this election will
be held at the same time the
voters express themselves as to
whether they wish bonds for the
waterworks. 1t is thought that
there will be little opposition to
the bonds and that the issue will
win out by a large majority.

POLITICAL KILLING SHOULD
FOLLOW, SAYS 1lLLMAN

There certainly ought to be
some political killing"
Il don't suppose anybody now
doubts who Blease's slavish un-
derlings and satellites are."
Jealousy and envy caused all
of this devilment-this monstros-
ity in the affairs of the State
asylum.
Il have been impressed with
the fact that Blease threatened
to put DR.. Babcock where he
could not speak if the governors
sisters name was brought into
the inquiry, while DR.. Saun ders'
brother had no one to protect
his sister,"
Thus spoke Senator Tillman
Saturday morning to Green
wood representative Of the Co.
lumbia Record about the investi-
cation that had been in progress
for the last two weeks into the
affairs of the State Hospital for
the insane.
Senator and Mrs. Tillman ar
rived at Greenwood Friday from
Atlanta, where Mr.. Tillman rest
ed for two weeks in a SANTA
rum, and spent Saturday with
his son, Mr.. H. G.. Tillman.
The senator spoke of PLANT
ing our garden, if it ever quits
raining"

Jetton is Acquitted.

Much interest centered locally
in the trial concluded in Char
lotte Saturday night at II o'clock
of R. M. Jetton. the Davidson
druggist who about two weeks
ago shot and killed DR.. w. H.
Wooten, a Davidson physician.
Both the victim of the tragedy
and Mr.. Jetton were known to a
number Of Fort Mill people, and
the trial of the latter was
watched with deep interest here
abouts. The jury returned a
verdict of not guilty after hav-
ing deliberated for only about
80 minutes. The verdict it was
said was greeted with wild
demonstration by the large crowd
which had jammed the court
room during the entire day.
A Fort Mill man who returned
from Charlotte Sunday at noon
stated that he had seen Mr..
Jetton on the streets Sunday
morning and that the latter was
preparing to return to his home

Will Pay the Soldiers Weekly.

Uncle's Sans soldiers will no
longer be paid at the end of
each month. if a plan now con-
templated is carried into effect.
So many complaints have been
made from post commanders
that for two or three days after
each monthly pay day soldiers
are unfit for duty, or have lost
their money gambling, it has
been decided to permit them to
draw their money every week
as soon as they have earned it.
This will prevent them from
having too much money at one
time.

Big Cut in Appropriations.

Included in the cut of 1925, 900
made by the Senate Finance
Committee Monday night in the
appropriation bill is the $25, 900

The committee recommends the
taking from the appropriation
bill of all new building items,
including the $4,000 for law
building at the State University.
The item of $10,000 for a ma
neuver camp, probably at Green
vile, is sliced by the committee,

Ne aSleS Kill Three in One Family.

The epidemic of measles which
was so severe in Bessemer City,
N. c., and surrounding county
the last of December has de-
creased in extent but, if any
thing, it is more severe than
before. The family of Luther
Bess, near town, has been sadly
stricken. The entire family is
confined with the disease and in
the five last days three of the
family have died, first a son
aged twenty, a daughter aged
eighteen and a daughter aged
sixteen. The other members of
the family are critically ill and
grave fears are entertained as to
the recovery of some of them.
The measles this time are of a
severe type and in the majority
of cases is followed by pneu-
monia. Mrs. j. C. Vava, a
teacher of the fifth and sixth
grades in the public school, has
resigned her position.

ThaW Case DragS Alone.

The final hearing in the Fed
eral district court in the matter
of Harry K. Thaw was concluded
Friday in Concord, N. H. VIM.
L. Jerome spoke in opposition to
Thaw's petition for writ of
habeas corpus and for admission

permission to file supplementary
briefs and was given 10 days to
do so. Thaw's counsel will re-
ply 10 days thereafter. Judge

cision and an appeal will likely

INDIVIDUAL MILEAGE
GOOD FOR ENTIRE FAMILY

An order requiring all rail-
roads operating in this State to
issue tickets to all members of a
family in exchange for mileage
coupons possessed by any MEM
ber of that family was promul-
gated by the railroad commission
last Wednesday night, following
a hearing upon the complaint of
Senator Earle. of Greenville, in
this matter. The order becomes
effective March 19, 1914.
Provision that the purchaser
of the mileage book must certify
in writing at the time of the pur-
chase who constitute members
of his family, is incorporated in
the order.
Senator Earle appeared before
the commission and read the law
covering this situation, support
ing his contention that the rail-
roads had violated the statutes
in refusing to issue tickets for
members of the family of the
original purchaser. S. H. Hard
wick, traffic passenger agent of
the Southern railway, with head
quarters in Washington, repre-
sented the railroads, and AS
sistant Attorney General Fred
H. Dominick represented the
State.
Commissioners Richards and
Hampton voted to issue this
order, and Commissioner Caugh-
man did not vote.
