JAN. 29. 1920. | ii i i i Chance for ServiceOne frequennly' hears the statement that the big fire insurance companies have the people by the throat and are in f.vni-hitnnt PUnlllUII IU VAUI Ml V * rates as they will for fire protection. The statement may or may not be true, but there is no gainsaying that fire insurance rates are high, , perhaps too high. Local conditions, however, doubtless have considerable bearing on the rate at which the companies sell insurance. In Ifort Mill it coslp a pretty penny to protect certain classes of property against fire; the rate for insurance on these classes is unusually high and is burdenPsome to many. Possibiy the companies are not wholly to blame and s<3me relief might be brought about here by the organization of an efficient-fire department, ready at all .times to respond to the alarm for service. A few years ago the town spent' a considerable sum for fire fighting equipment, but little of it is now serviceable ; apparently it i. i- i i i nas Deen nooouy s ousiness to take care of the equipment. The (people of Fort Mill are patient, but. some day they tire going to demand of the men they choose to look after flu? town's .^flairs that the m > \ raised by taxation be spent wisely and the things bought with it be. taken care of. The new council has an excellent opportunity to be of service to the town. Materia! Not Lacking The Democratic narty is not hard pressed this yepr for an available candidate for the presidency as some seem to think. There are a number of big men in the party who would prove formidable camlidales and go into the campaign against the Republican nominee with a fiftyfifty chance of winning. Recently the name of Herbert Hoover has been mentioned with re X currini? frequency in connection with the Democratic nomination and the party might do a good deal worse than to put him at the head of the national ticket. The objection that Mr. Hoover has not been a Democrat long enough to warwmt the party in thus honoring him is certain to be raised, however, and the objection may prove of sufficient ' force to make some one else the nominee. It is said that Mr. Hoover votid for Roosevelt in 1912, but supported Wilson in 051916 and urged the election of a Democratic congress in 1918. He is a world figure and with his splendid record of service for humanity in the World wardoubtless would .give the Republicans many an uneasy moment as the Democratic candidate. Depend upon Mr. Bryan to raiseva row when every effort Should Be directed toward party harmony. Just now the Nebraskan is in a bad humor with Homer Cummins, national Democratic chairman, because Mr. Cummins has spoken kindly of the Democratic governor of New Jersey, whose liquor views, Mr. Bryan does not like. Mr. ! r? ? - cry an is a good man and the j Democratic party owes him much, hut we fear that ii) this instance he overestimates his ability to do things. . I Parts of Beef Carcass. In Fort Mill as elsewhere throughout the country the discussion of meat prices has aroused public interest in the various cuts that pre sold at different prices. Many persons know what a round steak is, for example, without knowing the i part of a * beef carcass from , which it is cut. The same is ; true of chuck ste^k, brisket and ! other piece*. who have ; boon investn? uug ;\rfe*8 express < the opinio ' if the people , knew morulabuiit the varioua \ piece." there would be 9 greater j " V demand for some of the cuts that < EftB*m are sold at lower prices. the Southern railway to mop 32 here for the accommodation tfWfjm niiifwiiint the fast train due in Fort Mill at 6:40 p. m. . Thode behind the movement to secure the order stopping the train In Fort MM! are confident they will be able to make a strong showing at the hearing to be asked of the commission and are hopeful that their petition will be granted. A railroad man recently expressed the opinion that the principal reason the Southern would advance against making Fort Mil) a flag stop for 32 was that on Saturdays the train would be unable to accommodate the travel between Rock Hill and Fort Mill without adding another day coach. Train No. 31, southbound, was included in the order of the railroad company issued about three years ago refusing to make Fort Mill a flag stop for 132, but after suffering for a few 1 weeks the inconvenience of having the southbound train pass without stopping in Fort Mill, citizens of the town appealed to the railroad commission for relief and 31 was ordered to stop here on flag, which fact lends encouragement to those ] l I I now unaertaKing to secure better passenger service for the town. Card of Thanks. Mr, James W. Wagstaff and his children take this means of expressing to t ?eir many friends their appreciation of the thoughtful kindness shown during the last illness of their beloved wife and mother. . { FOR 30 J t This store has been in busin + the wants of the people of F f is now the one business hou | been uninterrupted for so lot t pride to us that during all th + to hold the patronage of a ni began trading with us nearly t which fact we think is a s y v efforts we have made to com | CERY. i A.
