SEPTEMBER 27. 1PW. |
To refuse a paper at the post- i
office isjnmply a cowardly way of i
insultii^the editor, and to thus !
refus# *r when iudebled to it
only doubles the insult.
There* is no better way of
building up our town than giving ;
to our home business men our'
entire apd exelusive patronage, j
The more we help each other
the more we help the town.
The best way to guard against
schemes of grafters and keep upto-date
in" general is to be a
regular reader of this paper. It
is always the one who does not
read his home paper who gets
caught by the grafters and fakirs.
"Any one wishing to adopt a
boy baby, aged 11 months, please
apply to Alexander Home." ?
Charlotte News. If not already
disposed of, address, "Childless
Couple, Fort Mill, S. C." A
special delivery stamp is unnecessary.
The Yorkville Enquirer says
that "all of the York county
vpnrr>spn<\nHvp? nw psnpfMnllv
. pledged not to vote to repeal the
"Brice law." Since reading the
above we are less surprised at j
the statement of the editor of
The Enquirer to a Fort Mill Reformer
a few days ago that the
best legislative ticket in the
county had been nominated in
the recent primary.
Says the Orangeburg Times
and Democrat: "Some of the
merchants at Yorkville and Fort
Mill have withdrawn their advertisements
from the New Era
and The Times because they advocated
the State dispensary.
The boycott is a game at which
two can play, and the papers
ought to let their friends in the
country know who the merchants
are that take such a
narrow view so that they can be
^ .given a dose of their own medicine."
We are pleased to see so many

their homes by applying paint i
and otherwise improving ap-;
pearances. The word "home" J
,*.-next to that of*"mother," is the ,
greatest ever uttered by human i
tongie. What a refuge it is
whei the darkness gathers! How
i glad *ne is to get a glimpse of
\ nome when time and space have
\ separated him from it if even
but lor a brief period! There |
seems to be a good natural j
rivalry here in an effort to make j
"our home" look a little neater
#nd thus be the more inviting to
the occupants than all others.
Such rivalry is certainly pardonable.
While the modern system of j
school work may be deficient in !
some respects, and no doubt the !
tendency is to take on more work
and too many branches of study
for the pupil to master thorough
ly in the time the average boy or
girl allowed for schooling, yet
there is a fault on the part of
parents which is persistently left
out of account in the argument
of the critic. The pupils, especially
in the higher grades, are
allowed to spend the nights
during the week in various
amusements which distract their
minds from school work, and
the loss of sleep incapatiates
them for good work buring school
hours.

is hopeu tnu^are new ordinance
will break up the sale of this
most dangerous drug.
The public schools throughout
this section are now opening their
doors, and within a few weeks
all these seats of learning will
have opened for the incoming of
the knowledge-seekers. To those
entering nothing else is so important
as to be on hand at first
and thenceforward to be regular
in attendanae. The rawest and
most gawky recruit can be drilled
into tVm finished soldier, if nnlv
the officer has the opportunity to
administer the training. Be regular
in your attendance, and it
will count for much in piling up
a creditable average. To parents
attendance on school is just as
important as to the children, i
Encourage your child to be
punctual, studious, t ad well deported.
and the lesson well
learned will pay in rich dividends .
of character that will rejoice you
even as your tottering feet go on
and on ever nearer the crumbling
edge of the grave.
The Times learns with regret
that the publisher has been cen- j
sured for the publication in our i
last issue of an article concern- j
ing the recent closing of the local I
barber shop. It was not our de- i
sire to do an injustice to any of
the parties concerned, and in I
writing the article especially did
we try to be fair and impartial.
The barber shop matter was one
In which the publisher of this
paper was not concerned, except j
in so much as our duty demanded
in publishing the news. The j
article was published purely as a
matter of news, and according !
to the facts as we were best I
able to obtain them. Feeling
that we have performed our
duty impartially in the matter,
the incident is closed, so far as
we are concerned, and any fur- |
ther discussion of the matter
through The Times will be charged
for at advertising rates.'
We often wonder why it is so
many young men can be seen
loafing upon our streets until a
late hour of night. Many of |
them are from our best homes, j
The fathers af these young men. ,
many of them at least, are iium- j
bered among our best citizeus. J
If their cow or their horse or
even their favorite dog was
away from home after dark they
would be out on a search, but
their own children can roam the ;
town all night with apparent no
effort being made to find them.
The boy seems to be turned loose '
at a tender age to wander at
will into the paths of sin and
vice and then we wonder where i
all our tramps and worthless
specimens of humanity come!
from. It is a regrettable fact
that too many of them come
from seed germinated in good I

less manner upon our streets
and back alleys.
That Iron Bridge.
What has become of a movement
to erect an iron bridge over
Sugar creek at the site of the;
present Bailes bridge, 2 miles;
east of Fort Mill?
This was the question put to
the publisher of The Times a'
few days ago, and we must confess
that we were unable to give '
.% rpu~
?.* v>ciiiojcii L\'i %v tuiavvtu, lilt:
we heard of the movement it had
reached the hands of the county
commissioners in the shape of a
petition in which several hundred
dollars had been subscribed
by Fort Mill people and the
icounty was asked for the balance
fof the required amount to erect
the bridge. This was several
months ago, and. if we remember
aright, the commissioners
jagreed to confer with the Lancaster
officials with a view to
securing from that county its
proportionate share in the undertaking.
Here the matter rested,
and is still resting, so far as we
know. But we wish to again
bring this matter before our
Ceople. The building of this
ridge across Sugar Creek is an
undertaking in which every citizen
of the town should feel an
interest, and everyone should
* i -'v&y '
A# ^
? ^ ?V*y ./ fU, * '
. '\ p !
work untiringly for the success
of the project. The exact amount
of money which was subscribed
bv our people has escaped the
writer's memory, but we feel
safe to say that no one contrib[
uted so liberal that he could not j
; make another contribution with- j
; out feeling a financial embarrass- j
j ment. And these contributions i
: should not be sought solely from j
| our merchants and other business ,
; men. The custom which comes
j from beyond the creek, not only
i benefits the business men of our |
town but is helpful in bringing !
Imore people to our town, furFnishing
the market with country j
I products, increasing trade, and
| in a general way aids in the
j building of the town and the increasing
of real estate and other j
i values. Our private citizens ;
j should donate to this cause. We i
j feel confident that several hun'
dred dollars are yet available for
j the bridge if some one will go to
work in earnest.
Teachers' Examination.
The regular fall examination j
for teachers' certificates was j
conducted in the county court 1
house at Yorkville Friday by
Supt. L. W. Jenkins, assisted i
j by Mr. T. E. McMackin. The
| number of white teachers who
applied for certificates was un- i
usually small, which is probably
accounted for by the fact that!
the notice of the meeting, which i
is of equal importance to every j
section of the county, was pub- '
fished only in the Yorkville En-1
quirer.
Young Drakeford'x Latest Cartoon.
J. Miller Drakeford, Yorkville's
youthful artist has presented The
New Era with a cartoon representing
political conditions in
this county resulting from the
recent primary election. Those
who have seen the picture pronounce
it a very fine conception
of local conditions. The proverbial
beast of burden, synonymous
of the people, long tethered to
the ring organ, suddenly becomes
defiant and has broken .
loose from his moorings and is
' using his hind legs with wonder- j
j ful effect. Several politicians '
; have been kicked up into the air j
j from the vicinity of The En!
quirer office and the entire outfit
seems completely demoralized, j
! Senator Brice is standing on the j
I pinacle of King's Mountain surveying
the situation, and says ho
1 can "scarcely believe his eyes." j
; The New Era is making arrangc;
menls to print the cartoon and '
j it will probably appear in next;
j weeks issue Yorkville New Era. j
Here's serving notice that
I The Times wishes to "borry" j
the . cut after the New Era,
qses it.
Tillman Dislikes Govt. Ownership.
Senator Tillman does not think
the South would agree to Mr.
Bryan's nomination upon a platform
containing government
ownership of the railroads. He
says that the Democrats of the
South "believe in a government
individuals and not in paternal- ,
ism. We are not ready to admit i
the railroads cannot be regulated, ;
and we are not ready to see ap-1
praisers transform them into a
huge political machine. In the
hands of the government, the
railroads would be used for
punishment of hostil territory.
Discriminations would be without
number. You Northerners
must send down to South Carolina
for some true seed of
Americanism. In Illinois all I
found was Pelrovskys, Broad-,
skys, and whiskies."
Amos Owens Dcsd.
The North Carolina papers
contain notices of the death last
v/eek of Amos Owens. He is
the old fellow whose name was
used with the cherry tree swindle
a few years ago, in which a
? r . . if. _ . . . a . __
nuuioer 01 people in rnis section,
1 principally women, "bit". Owens
j lived at Cherry Mountain, on |
which it was alleged, the cherry
i trees were grown. Other persons
used the old man's name
; and concocted the scheme by
I which they sold thousands of
alleged cherry trees all over the
South. Their operations were
finally stopped by the Government
on the ground that the!
mails were being used to defraud,
and the cases were tried
in the Federal Court at Char:
lotte. Amos Owens himself was 1
I a moonshiner and a celebrated
character, even before the cherry :
tree episode in his career.

ages in the South will observe |

as work day for the orphans, j
and the institutions in this State ;
are sending out information as j

boys and girls, of all denominations
and of no denominations, !
will be asked to give the pro-:
cecds of that day's labor to the
institution of their individual;
choice. The proceeds may be |

special labor, profits made in
business or such gifts as may be j
offered by promptings of the

Murder Charge Against Faith Curist.
The grand jury of Anderson
county a few days ago returned j
a true bill for murder against R. |
B. Hays, the ' "Faith Cure" evangelist,
who recently allowed his
child to suffer and die without
attempting to give it medical relief.
On account of his queer
religious belief and preaching.
Hayes refused to allow a physician
to see the child or to give it
medicine to relieve suffering.
The case has attracted wide-!
spread attention. The date of his !
trial has not been fixed.
Technical Education.
I
Referring to the notable industrial
advance of the South during
the past half century, L. S. Ran- ,
dolph. professor of mechanical,
engineering at the Virginia Polytechnic
"p.siii.ute, Blacksburg, insists
that unless steps are taken
for adequate training of young
men in the engineering and the !
the mechanic arts in the South
they must see pass to others the i
wonderful opi>oRunities for shar- >
ing in theSouth's future development.
He notes that the technical
schools of the South are not
supplying half of the annual loss
in the profession of civil, mechanical,
electrical and mining
engineering in the South, to say j
nothing of adding to the number ;
to meet the steadily increasing
calls, and that for every engi- i
nee** educated in ihe South 15
engineers come from oilier parts i
of the country. He argues that
the technical schools of the South
have such an imperfect and inadequate
equipment that the
majority of the technical graduates
seek emplopment in Northern
and Western manufacturing
establishments in order to gain
a thorough training. He contends
that the South is naturally
capable of supplying the young |
men to become superintendents, ,
engineers and managers in cotton
mills, power development
plants, railway and .machine j
shops etc., and his paper is an
exceedingly practical argument
and an urgent one that the
technical schools of the South
be given a far greater and much
more substantial support in
every way than rhoy are nowreceiving.
The Virginia Polytechnic
Institute in the well
directed fidelity and enthusiasm}'
of its administrative forces and!
in the earnestness and determination
of its students, is an
illustration of a spirit for toclini- i
cal training all over the South j
which, if adequately seconded
by public support;, would work a
gratiiy.ng revolution or the
Sou Li 1 within 10 years.
