Meeting Saturday afternoon for
the first time, the Fort Mill town.
ship road commission, composed
OF j. j. Bales, w. M. White and
j. E. Epps, formally took over
the duties heretofore performed
by the township supervisor when
Mr.. Bales was elected chairman
of the commission and Mr.. White
clerk. Following the organization

superintendent of the Carhartt
farms, has agreed to allow the
commission to use large scrape
belonging to Mr.. Carhartt and it
will be put into service at once.

Mr.. Gordon and his family were
in their yard and got good view
of the bear. Mr.. Gordon went to
sawmill nearby and told the
men there what he had seen and
they all started out on a hunt for
the bear, but as they had no dogs
the chase had to be abandoned
The bears tracks were plainly

REDS THREATEN DEATH
FOR SPANISH MONARCH
Say They Will Eventually suc-
ceed in Ending Life of King
Alphonso.

Sooner or later we will get Won
If not today, then perhaps tomor-
row. You are under sentence of
death, and the executioners await
only the opportunity to carry out
their orders
These are the cheerful messages
received by King Alphonso of
Spain, by letter, by telegraph and
in mysterious. messages. Alphonso
knows it is the truth. Since the
morning of his wedding day. since
the young king and his English
bride narrowly escaped death
from the fiower-covcrcd bomb
which wrecked the royal carriage
OF state and killed the horses al
tached to it, he. has realized that
sooner or later he would die by
an assassin's bullet or bomb or
knife.
When King Alphonso leaves his
palace he rides in a stccl-lincd au-
tomobile that is proof against bull
lets and bomb fragments. Uc is
accompanied by picked riflemen
drawn from special national
force and members of the same
force III thousands line the road
way along which he passes. When
ne takes a railway journey he
rides in a heavily armored ear.
Another train goes ahead to dis
cover bombs and clear the way.
A friend of Alphonso lately re-
vcaled the fact that when the
Spanish monarch ventures i'm pub
lie he wears a coat of fine Steel
chain mail under his shirt that is
proof against knife thrusts and
possibly against bullets. Ever
since he came to the throne at
tcmpts on his life that have come
within an inch of succeeding have
been happening. Today, as a re-
suit OF the world war and the
great distress in, Spain. the revo-
lut1onists there are stronger than

PAGEANT WILL DEPICT
SOUTH CAROLINA HISTORY
Three Ages of State to Be Given
by Winthrop College Students
on May 8, Next.

Inc historical pageant to be
presented at Winthrop college on
May 6, 1921, will be a review of
South Carolina history from the
time of the settlement Of the Pal
metto State down to the present
time.
The historical scenes in the pa
geant will depict actual history
III the sense that they are to be
taken from contemporary rec
ords, In many cases in the exact
words Of the source.
The history of the State will
be covered in three ages, "The
Age Making" "The Age of Dis.
cord" and 1.-THE Age of Prog
ress." Eleven episodes with three
symbolic interludes make up these
three ages.
The first episode is the story
from Laudonniere's journal of
the meeting of the white men and
the Indians and introduces Jean
Ribault and an Indian king with
other Indians dressed in native
costumes. The second episode
shows settler a few years be-
fore the Revolution deciding to
send his oldest son to England for
an education, and breathes 10y
atty to England. The third shows
this boy returning seven years la
ter, arrogant and overbearing, to
find his home people ready to
break away from England. The
fourth scene shows the story dear
to childhood of Francis Marion,
dressed in his homemade uni
form, dining on roasted potatoes.
The second age opens with a
happy plantation scene late in the
SOS and involves an argument on
slavery and secession. The next
scene is the signing of the Ordi-
nonce of Secession and is repro
duced in detail. The parts Of the
signers are to be taken by descen-
dants of the signers who are now
students at Winthrop. This is to
be followed by a marching scene
where the Palmetto flag is carried
into war. Later comes q battle
scene with an old time Southern
belle and two wounded soldiers.
This age is concluded with a STIR
ring Red Shirt scene featuring
both United States cavalry and
Red Shirt.riders with an exact re.
production of the original bloody
shirt flag.
"The Age of Progress" opens
with college scene showing, the
reconciliation after war, the adj
vance in education, and the pass.
ing OF a company of soldiers en-
route to France. This age ends
with the most dramatic scene of
ala wounded soldier, discour-
aged with business, crops, poll
tics and religion, caught up by a
vision of the new age and by the
spirit of the State.

GRETNA GREEN REVIVAL
FOR BORDER COUNTIES?
Failure Of Medical Examination
Bill May Bring Couples Across
Line to Be Married.

due to the failure of the senate
to pass at the recent session of
the South Carolina Legislature
the house bill requiring a medi-
cal examination of men securing
marriage licenses in this State be-
fore the marriage ceremony could
be performed, and the passage of
similar bill by the North Caro-
lima Legislature at it's session last
month, South Carolina counties
bordering on North Carolina may
again become the Gretna Green
for North Carolina couples on
marriage bent.
In neither State can the mar
riage ceremony now be performed
without a marriage license. but in
North Carolina both the man and
woman must undergo an exami=.
nation by reputable physician,
costing about $40, to secure a
health certificate. to the effect
that neither is suffering from GER
tain communicable diseases, be-
fore county authorities are allow
ed TO issue the marriage license.
The proposed law having failed
i'll South Carolina, it is now posi-
bic to enter the marriage relation
ic this State at smaller cost than
in North Carolina. The South
Carolina marriage license law
does not require that either party
be a resident of this State, and
it is not improbable therefore that
MANY couples. to save the fee in
cident to the physical examina-
tion required under the law of
North Carolina. will cross the line
into this State to be married, thus
reviving to some extent at least
conditions that obtained in South
Carolina border counties before
the marriage license law was en-
acted in this State about ten
years ago, when North Carolina
couples, literally in droves, came
into South Carolina to be mar
ried. Many Of these couples were
mere children who could not Sc
cure marriage licenses in North
Carolina because of their youth
others were old and infirm. still
others were poverty stricken
But neither youth nor senility. OF
poverty, was a bar to marriage
in South Carolina in those days

for the ceremony and knew the
accommodating magistrate or no.
tary republic to whom to apply
to have the knot tied.
Finally this condition was rem.
edied by the Legislature in 1911
passing the marriage license law
AS result the border counties OF
the upper part of the State have
since been practically free of the
indiscriminate marrying OF cou.
pies from across the line in North
Carolina. But with North Caro-
liEa now making the possession
of health certificate of both the
man and woman a condition pre-
cendent to the issuance of the
marriage license in that State, and
there being no such requirement
in South Carolina, it remains tc
be seen whether conditions will
again become such as to demand
the attention of the Legislature

was going to bed, when he heard
bells ringing. He jumped up and
looked out the window Just then,
old Santa landed on the roof, and
his head was just going down the
chimney. Little John ran to the
fire and put it out, for he thought
Santa would not come if he felt the
heat. but Santa came He saw John
and said he was glad to see him.
81 am going to my work house, y
continued Santa Claus, smiling. 81

and went out to the sleigh. Away
they went. Then they came to a
long house They went in. In ev-

"All right" said John, don't
bring it at all"
Santa gave John kick and little
John went downtown
Out of bed he fell. He got up and
looked out of the window and it
was daylight. He ran to the Christ
mas tree to see if Santa had left
him a train, and there it was, in a
big box. 1t must have been a
dream.-By Richard Mccain, st.
