WISE AND OTHERWISE.
Too many young people depend !
on their father's money carrying
tnem tnrougn tnis woria, anct,
their mother's prayers fixing everything
all right for the next.
The man who gets rr ad at what
the newspaper says about him
should return thanks three times !
n day for what the newspaper
knew about him and suppressed.
People of all classes who need
help are looking about for intelli-!
gent, industrious, well-behaved, j
gentlemanly boys. A boy of that
kind is laying a good foundation
for success in life.
One half hour each day spent
in diligent work will keep the
lawn and premises surrounding
any home in our town in applepie
order, and make our little
city the garden spot of our fair
State.
Adulteration of food has got to
be be an evil against which all
t.hp hpAlth *inr1 ull fhn '
doctors and all the ministers and ;
all the reformers and all the j
Christians have set themselves
in battle array.
Some young men are so blind
to their future interests that they
never admire the jfirl at a picnic ;
who stays and helps the old folks i
clean up the dishes and repack
the baskets as much as they ad- j
mi-e the snippy girl who walks j
off as soon as she has had all she j
can eat.
Every property holder and ten-1
ant should at this season take a j
pride in cleaning up and putting ,
their holdings and home in an j
admitted sanitary condition. ,
Health is happiness. We have
the reputation of having the I
healthiest climate and best water
in the State. Let us keep that
reputation by all means.
In the early days of railroading 1
in this country no restraint was |
laid on any employe for drinking
and many of them were internperate.
Now railroads are virtually
temperance societies. Many
companies will not permit any !
employe to be seen entering a
saloon; nor under any circum-1
stnnrps tn <lrink int.nxirftt.inrr !
liquors.
If the reader wants to settle in
a wide-awake community, all he j
has to do is to look at the local
newspapers. A wide-awake well Bupported
home newspaper is al- j
ways associated with Rood
schools, churches, active business
and intelligent people. It
never fails. No business man or
citizen in any community makes
any better investment than in the
support of a home newspaper.
The most unfortunate class of
people living- on this earth are
the grumblers. They rob home
of its joys, society of its dues,
and themselves of the best things
of life. From the time the children
of Israel "grumbled" and
were sent on their tedious wanderings
for forty years in the'
wilderness, up to the present
hour the world has been full of
grumblers. It is "too hot" or
"too cold," or "too wet" or "too ,
dry." People in reasonable circumstances
have visions of the
poor house, while the rich grumble
that they cant get rich faster.
Our Cocaine Law.
The cocaine evil has grown to
such an extent among the negroes
of South Carolina, particularly
of York and Lancaster counties,
that the legislature found it
necessary to pass a law controlling
the sale of the dangerous
drug. It can be obtained now
only on written prescription of a >
practicing physician and is to be
used under personal supervision i
of the doctor. The penalty for a
violation is a fine of $100 or 30
days imprisonment. For the
second offense, the fine is $500
and the imprisonment six months.
A negro crazed by cocaine is
more dangerous than an Indian
full of whiskey. But cocaine i
destroys the negro's usefulness 1
as a laborer, and it was mainly
to check this demoralizing tendency
that the law was passed,
and a j?ood law it was. ?Charlotte i

A. L.OCAL.MAN.
"Kin# Cotton" is alw.ysa live
wire in this section and it is not,
therefore, incumbent upon one to
apologize for referring to his
majesty. Not many days agone
my eye fell upon one of Theodore
H. Price's advdertisements in
which I noted the statement that
the manufacturers of cotton
goods are receiving fabulous
profits on their product. Now
Price would hardly make such a
statement unless he knew where- ,
of he spoke, for, if he did, somebody
would "call" him ir.stantar. i
So assuming that he knows what
he is talking about, one naturally
wonders why it is that the farm- .
ers are not paid more for their
raw cotton; why, also, the mill
operatives are not naid a little
in excess of what is necessary
to keep body and soul together
for their labor. In the case of
the farmers, the Southern Cotton
Association will furnish a satisfactory
answer in time. As to the
latter, the answer is equally
easy; It is simply because there
is no organization among the i
operatives to demand fair remuneration
for their woik. In
New England cotton mill employes
are paid from 60 to liM1 per
cent, more than is paid for imdar ;
work in the South. There is a
reason for this, and it is because
the New England magnates have ;
felt the force of organized labor.
They pay fair wages or th<\\ y
no work done. I know of ire
feeling against labor organizations
in the South, but prithee
why have not the working men
as much right to band together
for mutual advancement as the
doctors, lawyers, bankers or'
other professions?

Another chapter was writ in
the life insurance scandals lrst
Thursday when Geo. W. Perkins,
former treasurer of the New i
York Life, became conscience |
stricken and returned to that
company about $(>0,000 of the
policyholders' money which he
contributed to the Republican
campaign fund in the last presidential
election. Perkins had
been indicted in New York for
stealing this money but by some
hook or crook the case was thrown
out of court. There is a difference
in degree but not in kind in
the case of the Perkins contribution
and the transaction reported
recently, if true, in which an
agent of a life insurance company
is said to have relieved a policyholder
of his obligation to pay a
premium note upon the promise !
that the policyholder would pay
all future premiums. Small won- j
dcr that the average man a?; a
precautionary measure throws j
his hand to his hip pocket when
you mention life insurance
Many a long day lias passed
since there has been laid to rest;
in the Fort Mill cemetery a
kinder-hearted man than was the
late Porter K. Mull. Mi*. Mull
came to Fort Mill and began
merchandising at a lime when
practically everybody was hard
pressed financially and the favors
he extended to the people of
this community are numberless.
Few there be of the older residents
hereabouts who are not
indebted to the memory of Mr.
Mull for some kindness. But as
is always the case, there were
some so take advantage of his
generosity and liberality and he
lost much in dollars because he 1
could not turn a deaf ear to the
appeals of his fellow-man. Not
only was Mr. Mull a kind-hearted,
upright citizen, but he was a
brave Confederate soldier, ser- ,
vine as eantnin in nno r>f
many regiments that the Old
North State senl to the front to
do or be annihilated for this
Southland. With the passing
of Porter K. Mull our community
has seen the last of a Rood citizen.
A Card.
Editor Times. I see in your
issue of the 7th an item from
Mr. J. J. Bailes in regard to the
settlement of the suit between
he and myself he said the suit
was settled at the earnest solicitation
of the New York Life on
the promise that 1 keep the
premiums paid up. This smacks
of fire and brimstone. The demands
made on Mr. Bailes for
the return of my notes by the
Now York Life were on Feb. 5,
l!M)7, and Feb. 11. 1907, as they
were not his property, and nothing
was said in regard to policy
or premiums, and if what he says
was true, why did he so readily
pay the costs and want me to
agree not to prosecute him. Sorry
to have this to say, as I would
like very much to keep on higher
plane. W. H- Windle.

Senator Tillman as a Lecturer.
Senator Tillman is not point? to
have much chance to pet rusty
this coming summer, according
to the Washington Herald. He
will spend his time mainly on the
cars and the Chautauqua plat-1
form.
In short, Senator Tiilman has
now bonked engagements to
speak every week day night and
several Sunday nights from the
day when this session adjourns
until congress meets again December
2, except three nights
and these will no doubt be taken.
For these speeches he has a con- ,
tract at $200 a night with a lyceum
company that assumes all'
risk as to connections by rail. '
rent of hall and similar details.
Ilis first date was Baltimore on I
the night of March 4. March
and April will he spent in Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia and
North Carolina. His tour will
extend into the far west In the
fall, and during the summer ho
will be heard in New England
and the middle west. July the
4th he speaks at Ashland, Ky.
He is free to speak on any subject
he may choose, so long as
his ctfort is the characteristic
Tillman speech. The Senator's
honorarium in the grand total is
$43,000 for the summer's work
more by some odds than he could
make tending his cotton in the
Palmetto State.
Tom Harris Will Hang March 29.
Tom Harris, a middle-aged ;
white man charged with the mur-1:
dor of Mrs. Hortensia Morgan,
an aged lady of Cherokee county,
has been found guilty of the
crime and sentenced to hang on '
March 29. j
Harris' crime was one of the
most atrocious crimes recorded i
in this section in many years. ;
According to the confession of ]
Harris, made to his spiritual advisers,
lie and is wife and two
children got on train No. 39 at;:
G rover. N. C. His wife and
children got off the train at i
Blacksburg, he going on to Gaff- <
ney and there getting off and 1
leaving a grip and other belongings
at Mr. Davenport's store. 1
He then started to Mrs. Morgan's
home, asking two men on the way
where she lived; he found
her sitting on the front porch;
approached her and "oi\ tended i < '
want to rent a farm: she told him ]
all her land was rented; she got .
up to go iii the house, asking him
to stay for dinner; he replied he i
didn't care for any dinner, l'ol- i
lowing her into the room. She :
stepped to the bed to get a paper 1
and he walked up behind her, 1
taking her by the throat, choked
her down on the bed. took his
knife from his coat pocket and ' cut
her throat, after which he \
waited in the room ten or twen- ?
ty minutes until she died. He
Then searched a cupboard or safe
for her monev; not finding it ho
searched her person, finding her
money tied around her waist in a
pouch or sack; he cut the string 1
from her person, took the money '
from the sack and threw the <
sack down at the door. Her
money consisted of something .
over a hundred dollars in gold of i
tlve, ten and twenty dollar pioc
es. the rest being in greenbacks :
of ten and twenty dollar bills.
He then walked back toGafi'ney, i
bought a new suit of clothes, an >
overcoat and a grip and intended 5
to take the next train out for Atlanta.
but his arrest followed before
the arrival of the train.
A Key for Ihi Askiog.
The publisher of The Times is J
becoming extremely tired of putting
on new locks on his ofiice r
door. Someone seems determined t
to enter The Times office in the N
absence of the publisher and, when
thoy find the door locked, g
effect an entrance by breaking E
the lock l'rom its fastenings evi- 3
dently by throwing their weight ?
against the door, .fust w hat any- ;i
one should want to plunder a I
printing office for is more than !
wc can say, for th* re is nothing
to be taken that would be of service
except to a printer. But
the repeated breaking open of
our office has not been for the
purpose ol* theft, as we have nov- jj
or missed anything or found the !
office in disorder after a raid of j
these plunderers. However, we 1
do find it very annoying and ex- !
pensive to be replacing or putting ?
on a new lock on the door every
few days, and to the party who
has been breaking the lock, we
will say that it would indeed be
a favor to us if they would discontinue
this practice. If, however,
thoy persist in entering our
sanctum and will make themselves
known, we shall bo glad
to furnish a key to the door or
leave the same unlocked and save
them the trouble of breaking the
lock and ourselves the time and
expense of putting on a new one. j
