To Extend Street Work.

One of the proposed amend
ments to the State constitution
to be voted on at the election
next November provides that the
corporate authorities of Fort Mill
may levy an assessment upon
abutting property for the pur-
pose of paying for permanent
improvements on streets and
sidewalks or streets or sidewalks
Immediately abutting such prop
erty. The improvements are to
be ordered only upon the written
consent of two-thirds of the
owners of property abutting up
on the streets or sidewalks, and
upon the condition that the cor
porate authorities shall pay at
least one-half of the cost of such
improvement.
The resolution proposing the
amendment was introduced in
the House by Representative j..
R. Halle at the recent session of
the General Assembly.

For Others to Explain.

The following communication,
written by a Fort Mill man. ap-
peared in the Rock Hill Evening
Herald of last Friday:
Editor The Herald.
On the first page of the Evening
Herald of April /, | notice an
article relative to the vote of
Congressman Finley on the re-
peal of the provision of the
Panama canal bill allowing the
free passage through the canal
OF American owned vessels en-
ga ged in coastwise trade. In the
article the question is asked.
How will Representative Fin
ley explain his vote?" 1t would
seem to me to be more to the
point to ask. How could Mr..
Finley salve his conscience and
Justify his position had he voted
for the repeal bill?"
In the Baltimore platform
under the subhead. Panama
Canal" we find the following
plank: I'VE favor the exemption
from tolls of American ships en-.
gagged in cOastwise trade passing
through the Panama canal" In
the sixteen years Mr.. Finley has
represented this district in Con
gress. he has not refused to be
governed by the party platform
in a single vote he has cast. and
none of the many candidates who
has opposed him since he was
first elected in 1893 have been
able to point to one lapse in his
allegiance to the Democratic
party. 1t is up to those who
voted against the Baltimore plat
form to do more explaining than
it is to those who remembered
that they were under obligation
to support it.

BOND ISSUE CARRIES
By 5T0 | MAJORITY

That a very large per cent. of
the citizens of Fort Mill feel the
need of water for protection
from fire and for domestic use
was established Friday in the
election upon the question of
issuing coupon bonds in the sum
of SIS, 900 for this purpose. The
movement for water system
began several months ago when
The Times, after a number of
articles agitating the system,
succeeded in interesting several
citizens in the waterworkS and a
petition asking for the election
on the question was signed by
the required number of free
holders and presented to council.
The election was duly ordered
and Friday when the votes were
counted it was found that of
the Ga voters who had cast bal
lots 53 favored the system while
IL were opposed to it. The total
vote cast Friday represented
only about one-fifth of the towns
voting strength, but was about
what was expected by those who
have kept tab on former special
elections. At the election Fri
day board of commissioners
of public works, whose duty it
will be to negotiate the sale of
the bonds and make all arrange
ments for the installation of the
water system, was also elected.
Quite a number of the towns
citizens were voted for, but it
was found that Messrs. w. B.
Ardrey, j. J. Bales and S. l..
Meacham had received larger
number of votes than the others
and they were declared elected.
This commission will at once
take up the matter of having the
bonds made and placed on the
market. The bonds, it will be
remembered, are to bear interest
at a rate not to exceed six per
cent. and the board of commits
sioners anticipate little trouble in
disposing of them.

Mayor A. R. McElhaney a few
days ago named the judges for
"Clean-Up" day Tuesday, April
q. The committee appointed to
inspect the piles of trash gath
cred by the boys of the town
will consist of Messrs. w. B.
Meacham, T. B. Spratt and j. j.
Bales. For the largest pile a
cash prize of $5 will be awarded;
for the second largest pile a cash
prize of $3.50 and for the third
largest pile n cash prize of So
will be given.
The committee selected to
Judge the premises of the town
and to award the prizes in this
contest consists of Mrs. A. O.
Jones, Mrs. w. C. Armstrong
and Mrs. Jessie Starnes. Two
cash prizes in this contest will be
allowed, a first prize of So and a
second prize of 81.
Already quite a number of the
boys are busying themselves
after school hours collecting old
cans, bottles and other trash and

Villa Occupies Torreon.

The greatest and most de-
cisive battle of the revolution in
Mexico terminated Saturday
when General Villa routed the
Mexican Federal army from
Torreon and took charge of the
city. The seige of Torreon by
Villa and his men had continued
for six days and nights and is
said to have cost the Rebels
something like 1,500 men, dead
and wounded. The losses sus-
tanned by the Federal army has
not been learned. The city of
Torreon is about 500 miles from
Mexico City and about an equal
distance from JuareZ. 1t is sur
rounded by mountains and is on
a small river. The city is almost
a natural fortress. Men of the
best military training prepared
the defences of Torreon. After
months of preparation it was
supposed to be proof against
assault. General Villa probably
did not know this, because he
did not start a siege but began
an attack on the works as soon
as he was in striking distance.
His army was composed of
about 5000 we'll seasoned SOL
diers. The Federal army was
some smaller, but was better
supplied with arti lery.

A New Kind of Cotton.

A Southern manufacturer has
sent to the National Association
of Cotton manufacturers a sam
pie of a new kind of cotton which
has been developed in Christobal
in the Panama Canal zone and
possessing, it is claimed, remark
able qualities. In the letter ac-
companying the sample of new
cotton the Southern mill man
says that his friend in Christie
bal developed the new species
by crossing Columbia cotton with
"a native wild staple by method
peculiarly his own.
The usual length of the cotton
from the Columbia seed is about
seven-eighths of an inch. but
the new cotton is said to run up
to two and one-half inches in
length. The stalks on which il
grows are taller than a man and
wider than ones outstretched
arms.
1t is further stated that the
newskind of cotton will not have
to be planted annually, but car
be pruned like grape vines each
season. and that it is possible to
raise two or three crops per an
mum, making total yield of
three to four bales per acre.
