THURSDAY. APRlL2. 1914.
The Bond Election.

The election for the issue of
$15, COO in bonds for the installa-
ton of a water system in Fort
Mill will be held tomorrow. The
reasons that demand the system
are too well known to be cited.
On the issue of the election will
turn the question of whether the
town will take a progressive step
or whether it will be brought to
a standstill with probability of
retrograding in the matter of
material ard industrial enter
prisess not to speak Of the de-
terioration of the health con-
ditionS that must follow from a
lack of pure water which the sys-
TEN would furnish. We feel that
it is for the best interests of the
town that this issue of bonds
shall be made and we urge the
patriotic citizens of Fort Mill
who are qualified to vote in the
election tomorrow to interrupt
their private activities long
enough to go to the polls and
vote.

What Those Coupons
Mean.

If you met a nickle laying in
your path, would you stoop to
pick it. | guess you would. How
about penny? There are mighty
few people in this town who
would not make quick dive for
it. Well, that is exactly what
our Cash Coupons are. nickles
and pennies, and enough of them
make dollars, and they are good
as long as we are in business.
Of course, they are not good on
railroad trains nor for postage
stamps, but they are good here.
Based or the present average
purchase. every customer who
enters our store is entitled to a
one-cent cash coupon. Leaving
out Soda Fountain and Cigar
sales the average customer is en-
titled possibly to a five-cent cash
coupon, and, as has been said.
these cash coupons are the same
as money in buying, and that's S
all money is good for.
Ask for your coupons when
paying for your purchases.
Spend them now or save them
until you accumulate a goodly
sum. Until some special deals
are arranged they are good for
the purchase of anything in the
store.

Will Test Webb Law.

The seizure in the freight
depot at Greenville few days
ago of more than 100 gallons of
whiskey may result in an i'm
portart test of the Webb law in
this State. The seizure of such
a large quantity of whiskey in a
freight Office is unprecedented in
the upper part of the State. 1t
is the opinion in Greenville that
the loss will fall upon the ship
per ard not upon the addressee.
The Greenville officers say they
will make all seizures under the
Webb law pending tests in the
courts.

natural as when done in the yellow

carefully selected. This precaution
must be taken in doing the golden

Society at large has been watching
the development OF fall millinery
fashions with 80 much interest that
the debut OF every model has been
awaited with much anxiety rs we'll as
excitement.
Numerous rumors and conflicting
opinions declare for the continuance
OF the small styled hats permitted to
endure In new and ravishing shapes.
Absolutely new. declares every wit
ness, and, numerically In the ascend
ency, agree onlookers.
Nevertheless, leading milliners.
whose small hats enchant one with
the daintiness OF their chic and the
smartness Of their design, are issuing
wide-brimmed hats Of black velvet
with here and there gray or a dark
brown shape OF this material.
The velvet crowned hat, with wide
ly curving brim OF Illusion, chiffon or
lace. has been worn for a month.
Watchful persons have greeted this
style without the flicker Of an eyelid
OF interest. But when the velvet
brimmed hat appeared In one OF the
Georgette sailor effects, brandishing
sweeping plumes Of paradise for a
trimming. and when Lewis almost du-
plicates the shape with bushy aigrettes
for a trimming fantasy, then the pa
tient ones whose business 1t is to her

gan to show signs OF excitement. The
discussion OF new vogue is on.
In the main and for the present.
the small hat OF velvet. high-crowned
and simplify trimmed, is enjoying a
most fiattering popularity.
The shepherdess hat OF velvet is in
the fashionable ofing, continuing Its
vogue OF the summer but along new
lines.
Picturesque modes offer large
crowns OF velvet to which are affixed
wide undulating brims OF the same
material which narrow over the face,
but broaden considerably at the sides
and extend in pointed fashion over the
hair at the back.
Trimmings for these shapes are sim.

Twice as many acres Of alfalfa are
grown in Kansas as in any other
state. Jewell county stands first in
Kansas in alfalfa production, but
Jewell county has less than thirteen
acres OF every hundred OF its culti-
waited land in this crop. The record
that alfalfa has made for itself as a
valuable feed and as a productive
crop should cause 1t to be grown even
more extensively than 1t is at present.
These are a few Of the interesting
points brought out in a bulletin tell
ing about alfalfa, its record, and the
methods OF planting and caring for the
crop that have proved most satisfac-
tory in different parts of the state.
This bulletin, which was prepared by
W. NJ. Jardine, director, and by l.. E.
Call. agronomist, Of the Kansas Agri-
cultural college experiment station, is
being sent to all who request 1t.
In some parts of Kansas, the bulle-
tin states, It is necessary TO put in tile
underdrains before a stand OF alfalfa
can be obtained; In some other places
the best results come from fields
where the alfalfa is planted in rows,
and cultivated. In a large part Of
Kansas. however. the only thing need.
ed to get a stand is to put good seed
into a properly prepared seed bed.
A seed bed for alfalfa should be
firm and well stored with moisture and
available plant food. To accomplish
this the ground should be plowed
thoroughly and the surface kept In
good cultivation. for at least two
mouths before seeding. In eastern
Kansas the best results usually are

are made in various soft shades OF
brown and tan, dull greens, navy blue
and dark puppies. They are most at
tractive. but needless to say they are
somewhat costly. The black crocodile
shoes are also extremely elegant look

die leather. either all the same or

Elastic, Under Knee Banda.

II It is necessary to have elastics In
the knee bands OF boomers or rompers
that are to be boiled when washed. It
will be found convenient. instead Of
sewing the ends together. to sew to
one end a snap hook. and to the other
end an eye. The elastic can then be
drawn out before washing. To insert
It again, tie a string into the eye and
thread this into the tape needle.
