WISE AND OTHERWISE.
It's a long lane that has no
turn, but sometimes it's an awful
long turn.
We
people of the South are *
getting a whiff of the rottenness !
of Northern society through the j.
Thaw case. I,
'
It is a poor excuse of an old ,
hen, if permitted to run loose in ;
town, that cannot make at least (
one enemy out of a irood neitrh
bor. ' 1
The poultry industry is an im-1'
Eortant factor today, and will | j
ear much study, whether con-:
ducted as a side line or as an j j
exclusive occupation.
-- We
heard one of our citizens ]
.say a good word for insurance '
companies the other day and we '
hasten to give the companies the
benefit of it. He said with all ,
their faults they always gave ,
blotters and calendars.
Boys whojare in the habit of ^
of killing our song birds with 1K
air-guns and sling-shots, are (;
probably not aware that such *
sport is in violation of the state 1
law, and any person who sees j
them kill a bird can have them ar-1
rested and fined for every offense, j
After a man has spent his 1
whsle life as the devil wished, 1
it doesn't look reasonable to us 1
that lie can lie to the Lord on
his deathbed and go straight to 1
heaven. In' our opinion the
deathbed repentance has kept 1
many from entering the pearly
gates.
When a man in search of a
home or business location goes to
a town and finds everybody full |
of hope and enthusiasm over the
prospects of the place, he, toe, becomes
imbued with the same
spirit, drives down his stakes
and goes to work with equal
interest.
Were each nation to divide its
cash among its own people each [
human being in France would j
have $36, or $10 more than each ' <
person in our conntry under
similar circumstances. Meanwhile,
the divided cash of Great
Britain would give each Briton '
only $18; Germany, the cash per
capita would amount to only $17;
Russia $7; and Japan $3, while
in Cuba each person would get a
two-dollar bill.
The good book says, "Give to
everyone that asketh thee," but
that doesn't mean to give a
drunkard money to buy whiskey,
it doesn't mean to give the baby
ft hnmmpr ? nA Innl/inrr 1
t*itu JUV/HIU^, y, 1CIOO UC- ?
cause he asks for it, and it doesn't
mean that we should give to pro- 1
fessional beggars who travel 1
from town to town. The Bible ;
doesn't alwas mean what it says,
but it always means what it
means. j
The busy man and woman of 1
the world are they who have 1
attained to greatness. Many <
;sueh have endured hardships and ]
practiced rigid economy to enable
them to meet the demands of an
large family and the greatest 11
men this country has ever pro- 1
duced have been men who have <
labored with hands and brain, 1
after acquiring a competency, ]
remembering the years that are .
gone, admit that their working ;
years were their happiest years. 1
Eveiy school boy knows that
a kite would not fly unless it had
a string tying it down. It is
just so in life. The man who is '
tied down by half a dozen bloom- i
ing responsibilities and their 1
mother, will make a higher and i
stronger flight than the harhoW 1
who having nothing- to keep him , i
steady is always floundering in :
the mud. If you want to ascend
in the world, tie yourself to some-1
body.
As an object lesson to others, 1
council should impose a fine upon 1
citizens who refuse to aid our j
town marshals in discharging i
their duties. It too often hap-, j
pens that the officers are unable j <
to secure the needed assistance I ]
when making airests, simply |
because people do not respect j
the law, or sympathize with the ,
.evil-doers, and give some flimsy !
excuse as being unable to assist i
jn making arrests. A fine of <
or $^0 would cause people to
I^Vhave more respect for the law as
this subject.

A Lively Female Scrap.
Two dusky maidens, Nan Rus-1
>ell, of pinker-cake color, and 1?
Elberta Sanders, who posesses ]
a stove-polish hue, did a pugilis- (
tic stunt on Bocth street Thurs-1
[lay afternoon, which, barring 1
the attendance of a referee and |
lI 1 _ j_: _e af _ - r i
liic icguiuuona 01 marquis 01 j
Queensbury rules, would have,
reflected honor- upon some of the !
pugilistic stars of the country. !
Nan opened hostilities by fling- j
ing a stone at Elberta's big:
bushy head. The rock failed, how-!
ever in effecting the desires of the (
thrower and Elberta returned I
the compliment with a blow from j
a stick which landed squarely!
over Nan's left optic and brought,
blood. Onlookers were sure this
spectacular feat of Elbirta would !
result in putting Nan down and
out, but in this they were mistaken,
for the blow seemed only :
to increase the latter's rage and
iesire to do things bad. Like a '
frenzied beast Nan made a dive !
for Elberta and in less time than
it takes to relate it had the
atter flat on her back on the cold
cy ground. But Elberta did
lot remain under the bottom but
i moment when she turned Nan
ind was again on her feet. The '
.wo women were in the act of i
opening the second round. Nan
laving already made a pass j
without effect at Elberta with an
)ld gun barrel, when Officer
Potts appeared on the scene and ;
lecided to call it a draw. Al ter
i considerable scuffle the officer
succeeded in separating the comaatants
and they were placed in
:.he lock-up until a cash bond was j
furnished for each. From the
heated conversation just before
Lhe scrap it appears that Elberta
wished to monopolize the attentions
of one John Russell, and in |
doing this Nan claimed Elberta
was tresspassing upon her rights, j
and rather than put the law to j
the trouble of investigating, de- j
sided to put Elberta out of business
in short order.
Mayor Hall on Friday imposed
a lino of $5 on each of the women, j
Former Fort Millian in Texas.
Mr. S. L. Johnston, writing to
The Times from Rock Hill, has
the following to say:
I received a letter a few days
ago from Mr. Henry F. Johnston.
oi* Texas. As well as I remem-!
ber, he left this country about
30 years ago. lie is now 03 years
old and I think he has his third
wife. lie states that he has five
children dead, four boys off from
home, two girls married and stil!
has ten at home, making in all
twenty-one children for him.
The baby is not quite 2 years old.
His wife weighs 210 pounds.
Henry Johnston is well known
in Fort Mill, his former home.
He didn't mention cotton, but
said he was now cultivating 90 j
acres of land, and rhat he has
plenty to live on, such as corn,
meat, potatoes, milk, butter, etc. !
He intended to visit relatives and
friends here Xmas, but the day
before he was to start the weather
turned cold and he decided to
kill hogs and postpone his visit
until later. He inquired about
all of his relatives and friends, |
and made special inquiry about
Thos. D. Faulkner and B. F.
Powell. His brother Frank died
some six years ago at Palestine,
Texas. There are now only two
hrOther.S T.Pl*r?V .h?hnelr?r> 'inrl
himself, and one sister living oul
of a large family and they are
getting very old.
Well, Bro. Splinter, I was indeed
glad to read your short letter
in The Times, but was sorry ,
to notice that you are still afllict^d.
'Tis sad to think back over
the many events which we have
passed since you and 1 were boy s.
it seems but a short time, but
according to nature we can't be
here muc h longer.
Another Barn Burned in Steel Creek.
The barn of Mr. Victor Bailee,
who lives in Steel Creek, a few
miles west of Pinevillc, was totally
destroyed by lire shortly after
dark Sunday night, making
the sixth barn which has burned
in Mecklenburg in the past few
weeks. All the stock in Mr. |
Bailes' barn was saved, but the
fodder, corn and cotton seed
were consumed, the total loss aggregating
at least $1,800. The i
barn had been built only a few j
weeks ago and cost $1,000.
The fire is thought to have been j
incendiary, and a young negro,
I'erry Blake, who was suspected
jf having fired the barn, was
placed under arrested.

A Pleasant Valley Marriage-.
On last Wednesday evening at |(
7 o'clock Pleasant Hill church
was the scone of another pretty
church wedding, when Miss Bessie
Wolfe and Mr. Hartwell Star- I
gis took the sacred vows that
made them man and wife.
Notwithstanding the ice and j
snow, a large crowd witnessed
the ceremony, performed by Rev.
vV. M. O wings.
Miss Wolfe 13 the charming!
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Wolfe. Mr. Sturgis is? prosperous
young farmer, living near
Rock Hill.
Mis;; Nannie Jor.cs Dead.
Miss Nannie Jones, daughter I
of Mr. and Mrs John 0. Jones,
having been a sufferer for a number
of years, died at her home
near-Fort Mill Friday afternoon.
After the funeral services, conducted
by Rev. W. M. Owings,
the remains were interred in the
cenieterv at this place.
Miss Jones leaves a widowed j
mother, one sister. Mrs. Jennie
Crook, three brothers, Messrs.
W. H., Edgar, and A. 0. Joncr~,
and a number of friends to mourn
her loss.
Legislature Passes 10-Hour Law.
?
The State senate Monday night
oassed the 10-hour law. which
limits the time of labor in cotton |
and woolen mills in South Ciro-1
lina to 10 hours per day. The
bill has already passed the house ,
and will become a law when
signed by the governor. The hill
becomes partially effective July
1, of this year, and will .opentte
absolutely after January 1. 190S.
Pleasant Valley.
Speclnl to The Times.
Owing to the bad weather the
past week and so many of the
children having the grip, the
Pleasant Valley school was suspended
for a few days. The
school opened again Monday.
Mrs. O. W. Potts is confined to
1 i i i ??
ueo wim grip. Mrs. .J. ivi. Harris'
fnany friends are glad to
see her up and about, after a severe
spell of grip.?After spending
several days with friends in
this place, Miss Blanche Smith
has returned to her home at
Bishopville.
On Wednesday evening there
came near being a serious accident
at Pleasant Hill. The? mule
of Mi'. Garrison became fright- ;
ened. Mrs. Garrison fell partly i
out of the buggy and at the same j
time threw her baby out. Mr. J
J. M. Harris, however, acted ihe
part of a hero by catching the
baby and assisting Mrs. Garrison,
and doubtless saved the lives of
both. J. OH.

G U1 Hill, Feb. 11. We are
having some fine weather after
the freeze of last week, ar.d the
farmers are moving up.
Mr. W\ TI. Nicholson, who was
spoken of in our last letter as'
ueing fjicic, is sun eoniineci to-his
bed.
Vest or Colthrrp had qfiiie a
venture with a mu!e and' buggy,
a gun and hawk last v/cc'.c. lie
had hitched up preparatory to
taking a ride, when he saw a
hawk eating a chicken. He called J
for his gun and fired on the hawk,
not thinking of the mule, which
took fright at the report and was
getting away at a lively rate, bat

Mr. Ebb Nivens has opened up
a stock of goods in the storeroom :

wish him a liberal share of public
patronage. May success crown
his efforts. Now, to use the language
of 'an old Rebel who has
long since gone to his reward, if
he wili jx>ssess himself with a
good steel crowbar, he might be
able to open up a large wholesale
house most any time.
We have always thought we
had a lot of good people in the
Gold Hill section, but we have
just heard of one gentleman who ,
is a lot better than the best. Why,
bless your soul, he is so very tender
hearted that he even sheds
tears when his wife asks him to i
get her a bucket of water. Say
nothing of this now, as we are
