A WORD FOR THE TIMES.
A Correspondent Think* This Paper
Should be Mo;e Liberally Patronized.
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

Items From The Enquirer.

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.
