Izard had been arrested the second time for vagrancy, and would doubtless have been carried to York jail, but when the officer entered the guard house Thursday morning he found that the negro had succeeded in getting hold of a 10-pourid sledge hammer which had been left in the hall and had pounded the hinges loose from his cell door and took his departure. It was thought that Izard got the hammer by tearing a blanket into strings and with this and his suspenders made a loop and drew the hammer through the bars in the transom over the cell door.

Editor The Times: Pardon me for referring to a matter which, while it may be of more intimate concern to you than to anyone else, i- nevertheless a matter which should demand the attention of every business man of Fort Mill and should also be of interest to every citizen of the community. For years I have been a subscriber to your paper and have greatly enjoyed its weekly visits to my home. I anticipate its coming every Thursday with genuine pleasure, fori know its columns will tell me what my neighbors and friends are doing, and surely these are matters in which I am interested as is every other citizen who feels pride in the community in which he lives. But I never pick up a copy of your paper, Mr. Editor, without experiencing a feeling of disappointment?disappointment that your paper is so poorly patronized by the business interests of the town. Fort Mill is a town of no mean proportions commercially, but one would not suspect from the number and volume of local advertisements which your paper carries from week to week that it were more than a village of four or five hundred people. This is not as it should be, and I write this communication in the hope that it will be read by all and have some influence on the delinquent business interests of the community whose announcements should appear in every issue of your pa_ . rn 1 ? ? ? per. inc Lime is passed when it requires argument to convince the observant merchant, banker, professional man or other business interest that advertising pays. It is an accepted fact. Of course some advertising is more productive of protit than others. But in the case of the businesses which should but do not advertise in The Times, there is 110 alternative to reach the public from whom they solicit patronage. 1 therefore hope Mr. Editor, that your paper will ere long receive the support which it deserves. There are other weekly papers published in South Carolina in whose advertising columns is represented every business worthy the name in their respective communities. Why ! not show the same interest in l your paper. Mr. Fort Mill Busii ness Man, and at the same time ' ... 4? 1 l-'l iiiunt; uiuili;^' 1UI yuursCll . Fort Millian. Fort Mill, March 5. Items From The Enquirer. I j The State levy for next year i has been fixed at 4 1-2 mills 1-2 less than last year. The levy for ordinary county purposes in this j county is 4 mills, and to pay interest on Three C's railroad bonds, 1 mill in Catawba townI ship, 2 mills in Ebenezer and 3 ; nulls in York. To this, of course, ' is to be added the constitutional i school tax of 3 mills, and various special local taxes, i As we understand it no more I thanltwo schools in a county are S toibejallowed to receive the benei fit of the $50,000 appropriated by ! the State, unless some of the ! counties fail to comply with the requirements to be fixed by the state board of education, in which event the per county distribution will Joe more liberal. The Bethany High school people, we understand, are eligible ior a part of the appropriation, and will no doubt take steps to pro1 cure what is coming to them. It : is to be hoped that York county j will not allow any of her part i 01 tne lunct to go by default. The postoffice department at Washington has sent out the following official order: "Postcards ornamented with particles of i glass, micha or other similar subj stances, liable to injure the perI sons or those handling the mails. ' are hereby excluded from ihe mails except when enclosed in suitable envelopes." Closely following the order to hold up tinsel post cards comes the report that the postal authorities are likely to issue an order limiting all post cards to one size, and soon the freak cards will disappear with j the tinsel ones. The styles of post cards are so varied that it has become a perplexing problem ; to know just how to curb the card business, which has become enormous and is still growing. As the result of the order to hold ; up the tinsel cards, thousands of them are now being poured into I the dead letter office at Washington. !
