The youth of America have
been given higher ambitions and
have been inspired to greater
effort by the wonderful achieve
ments of the country's success
full men. Each ambitious youth
considers himself candidate for
place in his country's halls of
fame.
This is the quality that will
make the United States great in
the future as in the past; there
fore. those sections, those States
those counties and those COM
munities that encourage and
foster the worthy ambitious Of
their young people by giving
them opportunities for great
accomplishment will be the COM
munities that occupy the largest
places in the country's future.
Only great men and great
women can make a community
great and only opportunities can
afford occasion to develop the
latest powers of greatness. The
community, therefore, that as
pires to a worthy place in coming
years must recognize the claims
of it's young people and must
make vigorous efforts to keep
them to itself by affording ample
opportunities for developing and
exercising the initiative and en-
terprise that are essential to
progress.
Let US keep our young folks
here with us. If we think this
community is not good enough
for them, let us make it better.
We can do it by putting our
heads, our hearts, our hands and
our money together. Let us who
are in business take our boys in
with US. Let us make places
for them here among us. 1t is
all right for them to go away to
school, to college; but after they
choose their life work, they can
make as great a success here as
anywhere else, if we only set
ourselves about bringing our
community up to it's proper
place in the world.

Prominent Rock Hillian Suicides.

j. j. Kellar, one of the best
known and most prominent citi-
zens of Rock Hill, committed
suicide Tuesday afternoon short
ly after 2 o'clock by discharging
a .3S-calibre revolver into his
right temple. The suicide oc-
Cured in the ambulance house
in the rear of the Kellar resi-
dence in Rock Hill.
Mr.. Kellar had been in his
uptown office until the noon
hour and from all appearance
was in his usual mood. He went
to his home about o'clock and
passing through the house into
the back yard entered the am
bulance house. A moment later
Mrs. Kellar heard the report of
a pistol and on reaching the am
bulance house found Mr.. Kellar
prone upon the cement floor un-
conscious. Death followed i'm
mediately.
The family and friends of Mr..
kellar know of no reason why
he should have ended his life
In such a tragic manner.
j. j. Kellar was one of the
pest known and successful build
ing contractors in this section,
having erected imposing struc-
lures In various parts of the
State. He was a member of the
Rock Hill public works COM
mission and had given faithful
service in that capacity since
the organization of the COM
mission three years ago.

Looks Like Pineville Wins.

From the present status of
affairs, says the Charlotte Chron-
icle, it would seem that the claim
of Pineville for the farm life
school is practically safe, as the
fight put up by Derita for the
school cannot be made along
legal lines, it is alleged.
Some time ago Derita received
permission to hold a special
election on March IL for the pur-
pose of finding out if Mallard
Greek township wanted to pass
the bonds for the sum of $25, 900
so that a bid for the farm life
school could be submitted. 1t
seems now that they cannot
legally issue the bonds, and that
their bid for the school is COM
pletely knocked out. This is the
ruling of w. G.. Maxwell and the
opinion of other attorneys that
Derita is practically out of the
race.
The point of law made is that
a township cannot vote bonds
for farm life school unless the
school is added to a high school,
and as Derita has no high school
and Pineville has, it would seem
that the law would favor Pine
vile as the site for the farm life
school.

While the daily press has
"played up" the differences

w ullS Vic uolly piCoo ildo
"played up'' the differences
which have arisen between Gov
ernor Blease and DR.. Babcock.
superintendent of the State Hos
pital for the Insane, the matter
is apt to result in nothing more
than the ultimate retirement of
Babcock. For twenty-odd years
DR.. Babcock has been the head
of the institution and he seems
to have come to think that he
alone is responsible to the State
for it's conduct. If we are to
Judge from the testimony he
gave before the legislative in
vestigating committee Saturday,
he is not far from the opinion
that the board of regents should
exercise no function other than
to approve what he does. For
several years the affairs of the
hospital have not been run with
out friction and it is high time
something were done to improve
conditions. DR.. Babcock has
quite a reputation in the daily
newspaper Offices, if we are to
judge from what these papers
say of him, as physician to the
insane, but there are doubtless
many other doctors who could fill
the place more satisfactorily than
he is doing and we should not
regret his retirement. So far
as the legislative investigation
into the conduct of the hospital
is concerned, it isn't apt to lead
to anything remedial unless DR..
Babcock retires, either of his
ownNEord or under compulsion
of the board of regents.

for a livelihood for herself and
children by conducting public
lodging house. We are, there
fore, hopeful that the Legislature
will promptly enact into law the
bill offered by the Florence dele
cation to severely punish this
class of criminals. The bill pro-
vides that the person committing
such an offense shall be sentenced
to hard labor for 80 days on the
county works or serve 80 days
in the county Jail. There is
everything right about the bill
except the period of punishment,
which should be twice as long as
that prescribed.

About Flint Hill School.
Editor Fort Mill Times:

Editor Fort Mill Times:
| do not want you to think that
| am an habitual complainer, but
| must say something in reference
to a news matter carried in the
last issue of your paper about
the conditions of the school in
district No. 80.
| do not know who your in
formant was, but it seems to me,
if he would take the different
matters under consideration, and
work them out along progressive
lines. that he would find the con-
ditions of the school above that
of last year.
In order to let the public know
something about the old and
new way, l will sketch them
briefly. | know of my own
personal knowledge, that last
year there were more than so
pupils enrolled at Flint Hill under
the supervision of one teacher, in
a building that would have been
placed in the "old field class"
back before the civil war. Fur
thermore the accommodations on
the inside were just as bad. A
sufficient number of seats could
not be placed in the building to
accommodate the children. They
had to pile around on the floor
wherever room could be found.
The above sounds a little harsh,
but am in no wise exaggerating.
Today. these same children are
conveyed by means of a $185
closed transfer from their homes
to a large roomy, sanitary and
comfortable school. Most of
these children get in the con-
Veyance at their door. but there
is not a single family that walks
over mile.) In this way
large school of more than 100
pupils are brought together; and
through association with so large
a number of students, the child
becomes naturally inspired with
pride to better himself along
all lines.
OF course some pupils are COM
PEELED to travel a little further
than others, but not child has
to walk as far as before. And
probably they have been late at
times; but this is their fault, for
the transfer runs on a schedule.
not stopping over three minutes
at a place; yet, they are still
much better off than their
fathers, or even their older
brothers and sisters. | can re-
member of walking four miles to
school for eight months over one
of the muddiest roads in York
county. Many others have
walked even further without
complaint. But these children
are conveyed in good wagons.
However. this district is not
quite able to own an auto wagon
with inflatable tires, but prob
ably one will be placed in COM
mission later on.
Although, am glad to say that
a majority of the patrons of
Flint Hill are well pleased with
the present system, and are doing
everything toward making Gold
Hill school a success.

Kills the Mill Sewerage Bill.

The lower house of the General
Assembly has rejected the bill
introduced by Representative
Creech, of Barnwell, requiring
the cotton mills of York county
to install sewerage systems.
The bill had been referred to a
special committee consisting of
the York delegation and the
delegation promptly entered an
unfavorable report. In asking
the House to sustain the un-
favorable report, Mr.. Hutchin-
son of York said that he and
Messrs. Riddle, Sanders and
Halle, the members of the York
delegation, were able to take
care of local legislation for their
county. Mr.. Creech was not in
the House at the time the bill
was killed.
Later on during the session
Mr.. Creech, speaking to a point
of personal privilege, said that
though he was elected from
Barnwell county he felt that he
had right to represent the en-
tire State. He believed that his
bill would help the people of
York county, he said.

ANOTHER BIG POW'R PLANT
FOR SOU. POWER COMPANY

Announcement was made a few
days ago that the Southern Pow
er Company had awarded two
contracts. one for building a dam
and power house st Lookout
Shoals on the Catawha river, and
the other for building five miles
of railroad, the total amount in
volv, d in the two contracts ap-
proximating $1,000. The
contract for the dam and power
house was awarded to the Hard
ware Construction Company of
Columbus. Ga, and the one for
the railroad to the Parker Brooks
Construction Company of Macon,
Ga.
The dam will be Is feet high
and quarter of a mile in length,
and will develop 26, 400 of cleo
trical horsepower, the machinery
installation consisting of four
$500 horsepower units and two
EXETER units. A fall of Ia feet
will be secured by reason of the
location of the dam at point
just above the Island Ford road.

Drowned Baby in Mill Pond.

Charged with murder, the
alleged parents of the girl baby
found in a mill pond about ten
days ago, are being held in the
Spartanburg jail for trial at the
approaching term of court. The
woman, Miss Fleta Pendleton,
was arrested at Spartanburg as
she was about to take train for
Charleston; the man. c.. G.. Glenn
ent. who was preparing to 90
West, was arrested at Chesnee.
Clement until recently was a
student at Wofford college, while
Miss Pendleton attended a busi-
ness college in the city. She
gave her age as 10.
In her confession, said to have
been made shortly after her
arrest, Miss Pendleton stated
that Clement dropped the baby
girl from a bridge into the mill
pond against her will, but that
Clement told her he did not love
the ID brat" and he would
not marry her unless she would
consent to his doing away with
it.
Miss Pendleton said she gave
birth to the baby, named Vir-
ginia, at the Presbyterian hos
pital in Charlotte, December 6.

CataWbaS on the Increase.

In the Footsteps of the
Fathers, now being run in the
Yorkville Enquirer, the follow
ing appears as reproduced from
the issue of The Enquirer OF
Friday, October %, 1858:
Adam Ivy, agent for the
Catawba Indians, makes the fo,-
lowing report to the court of
common pleas: 1 beg leave to
report that the Catawba Indians
now number about seventy in all.
| cannot discover any improve
ment in their moral condition or
habits in general. They are
fond of spirituous liquors, and as
there are now two distilleries
near them, when they earn a
little money by hire, or raise a
little corn, they will spend it for
whiskey and get drunk, and
sometimes do mischief. Last
winter, (as | understood it,, as
they returned from one of those
distilleries, in a high state of
intoxication they got into an
affray, which resulted in the kill
ing of two Indians and the
wounding of one horse. Now
after due reflection, | am bound
to believe that such traffic and
conduct as that above stated is
a sad nuisance in any civil CON-
munity, and / hope the proper
authorities will consider the mat
ter and remove that which an
noys. | have had but little con-
versation with the Indians this
year about removing to the West;
but so far as / have learned, they
are still willing to be removed. ,"
Contrary to the general sup
position that the Catawbas are
dying out, the above shows that
there were 55 less Indians on the
reservation in 1858 than at pres
ent, the number now being
placed at 125.
