Inventino the Blanket.

Poverty is responsible for the lnven.
tion Of the blanket. Years ago O man
in England lost all his wealth and be-
came very poor. One cold winter night
in 1870 he used a piece of rough, un-
finished cloth for bed covering to
keep himself warm, and from this
makeshift bed covering he invented
the blanket. The name of this man
was Thomas Blanket, and the new kind
of bedding has been known under the
name Of blanket ever since.-Detroit

No Monopoly Of Credit.

The Fort Mill Times does not
wish to withhold from Governor
Cooper any of the credit to
which he is entitled for the cut
of nearly three-quarters of q
million dollars in the appropria-
tion bill for the conduct of the
State government as it passed
the senate, but it is not going
outside the facts to state that
the governor alone could not
have saved the taxpayers Of the
State this sum. After it became
known that the senate had made
large increases in the appropria-
ton bill proposed by the house,
Speaker Cothran stated in a
speech to the house that unless
material reductions were made
in the bill he would refuse to
sign it. The governor then
made the statement that the
senate bill carried appropriations
that should be cut and pointed
out q number of items in the bill
which he said he would veto
unless reductions were made.
The senate took offense at the
statement of the governor. to-
ward whom it's conferees OH the
bill went into session with the
house conferees in anything but
a pleasant frame of mind. there
by placing the house conferees
at great disadvantage in put
ting forward their proposals for
reductions or the entire elimina-
ton from the bill of items they
considered least meritorious. The
speech bv Speaker Cothran,
which met with the unanimous
approval of the house, along
with the sincere desire of the.
house conferees to reduce the
tax burdens proposed by the
senate. outweighed the state
ment of Governor Cooper in re-
lieving the people of the State of
a mill and a half tax levy for the
current year. .-..

county side of the river their
proposition was to pay two-thirds
the cost Of that part Of the
structure spanning the stream
and that they did not contem-
plate paying any part of the cost
of the approach necessary in this

out in good faith her part of the

the county commissioners could
do was to reject the supplement
tai proposition of the Mecklen-
