WISE AND OTHERWISE. Wc wonder how many parents realize that their child is a book of blank pages in which shall he recorded the record of their lives, j Be careful therefore what you have written there for the world will read it. All your secret thoughts the child will try to write. The papers of the cities are all right if you want them, but it is vour home paper that advertises your schools, your churches, your 1 numerous societies and rejoices with you in your prosperity. In ?hort it is the local paper that mentions the thousand and one items in which you are interested during the year and which you do not find in papers of cities. We are pleased to note an in-1 creasing desire on the part of j our readers to secure at the first possible moment a copy of this paper and some call at the office and get a ccoy as it falls fresh from the press. The reason is we publish all the news all the tbne. V*. want you to help u. make it still hettc by notii\ing lis >1 tlii death, marriage or important transaction;-" in which .mj oiic lroiii fiiis eoui.LN is concerned. How quickly you can tell a live town from a dead one by simply ( looking over its newspaper. A poor skim milk sort of a paper j with a few small advertisements, and those looking as though thev were run at cut rates, betokens a dead town just as sure as a cc rpse indicates a funeral, whileagcod, lively, well-printed newspaper, filled with good, fresh ads and displayed locals, shows that the town is prospering and thriving. It never fails. A dollar bill may carry to its receiver the vilest infection. It is a sponge that takes up filth and disease germs from every! hand through which it passes and from everybody with whom it comes in contact. We hope cur delinquent subscribers are not holding back their dollar bills for fear they may carry some contagious disease to us. If they are, we assure them we are safe, having had the mumps, whooping-cough, measles, chicken-pox and a variety of other diseases. So bring along your dollar hills and we will give you a nice clean receipt for them. The woman who is always well and neatly dressed is able to exercise a greater influence for good than one who is the reverse. The well dressei woman is attractive to the eye and the eye is one of the main avenues to the ' heart. Other things being equal, j her influence is more potent than j her neighbor's, whose reputation of dressing "just as it happens" at home in some indefinable way casts a shade over whatever virtue she may possess. A woman neatly dressed is ready for emergencies. The chance caller and the unexpected guest find her ready to receive them. Hut perhaps the greatest necessity for looking well at home exists in the home itself. To the members of their families they owe the first duty. Pleasant Valley.

I It seems that the efforts of the citizens of Pleasant Valley i and Fort Mill to secure a county j bridge across Sugar creek are at, 'last to be awarded with success. ; Not only does it appear that the' bridge will be built, but what is i equally important it is to be of ; ; steel construction. The lack of j this bridge has cost Fort Mill hundreds of dollars in the Pleasant Valley section, for with the excellent roads to Pineville and : Charlotte a great deal of valuable j i trade has been diverted to those ; places which would otherwise | have come here. Fort Mill is cf ( course grateful to the county supervisors lor their determination to build the bridge, but as a simple matter of justice to the citizens who live in the two communities they could hardly have afforded to do less. * ? It is a great thing to be a senator of the United States, i for the position carries with it life-long honor and a large salary j during tenure of office. But I with all the influence and emoluments of an American senator it is a greater thing to be a private citizen loved of his fellow man j from one ocean to the other. In ! this case is Senator Alfred; Beveridge, of Indiana (Republi can,) and Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, (Democrat). These gentlemen are conducting in one of the leading magazines of the count.".'' a <hscu i'>n of the issues (.hat are t<? be prominently to :iii' fore in :u xl presidential ?. paign. benator Beveridge , . ? 11 !i. L- - x in* w uiiim 111*3> amen. ne is against the Democracy and the ideas advanced by Mr. Bryan. As was to : be expected, Mr. Bryan has so far bested Senator Beveridge in the j discussion and before it is closed j lie will still further establish ; himself in the esteem of the I great mass of people who are i so anxious to see him elected the next president. One of the purest and best men that this country ever produced, a loyal grandson of the South whose hands are clean, it is hard to1 understand how any citizen of this section can fail to pray Almighty God that he will be elected. * * ? With an eye single to the | betterment of conditions in general, I notice a practice indulged in at the local postoffice, which, 1 if abandoned, would do away; with a matter which is doubtless very annoying to the postmaster | and his assistant. It is a daily i habit for certain school children, a crowd in fact, to stampede the office each morning and inquire for mail. It is, of course, a pleasure to the postoffice force to deliver the mail promptly, but several times recently mail has been piven these school children only to be misplaced or lost before the little ones reach home in the afternoon. And not only do the children make a habit each morning of calling for mail .but it is the same thinp: when they are returning home in the afternoon. Several times I have; noticed that in cases where a piece of mail was handed a certain child several of the crowd would make a grab for the piece and at times almost, if not entireiy, destroy the said piece of mail. This is not as it should be and I wish to appeal to the parents , to have their children discontinue this useless practice. It would be an easy matter for each parent to instruct the postmaster which child to jrive the mail and also j instruct them to call at the office only once a day and that in the afterno( n. This would do away with t V nf lioirin.* i'? V/A. i.a*in^ one's mail misplaced, and at the same tin e rid the j>ostmaster of a practice which, to him, is doubtless becoming almost intolerable. t * It will probably be an item of news to most Times readers to know that our genial postmaster is not compelled to make change for you when you make purchases at Uncle Sam's oflice. This is a queer rule that not one in a thousand persons know. Buyers of stamps or any purchases at a postofliee must furnish 4 heir own cha: : i. i.. the postmaster * . kl insist or. the buyer furnishing his own change if he sees fit to do it; but usually the postmaster is glad enough to get rid of his "chicken feed," and he is always ready and willing to accommodate the public by making all the change asked for. If a man wishes to buy fifty cents worth of stamps and has but a silver dollar, he would be compelled to buy a dollar's worth of stamps or go and get his dollar changed or do without his stamps if the postmaster was stubborn and refused to make change for him. This is the law and a queer one too to my way of thinking. And postmasters are not compelled to take more than twenty-five pennies at one time, if he doesn't want them. Wanted ?Everybody to be at town hall Tuesday evening at 8.15 o'clock. A treat for you. Dispensary Constables Useless. The Bamberg Herald is exactly 1 right when it. says that the new I liquor law should be enforced of course, but this is the duty of the sheriff, magistrates and con- : stables, and the uolice of the various towns. They are paid I for this, and they should be j made to do their duty. The! country and towns pet the profits, ! and there is no pood reason for ' appointment of constables. The lav/ can be enforced ^without them, and they will be a useless expense. Let the peace officers do their duty.

This community was visited by a heavy rain last Thursday night. ?Mr. T. V. Boyd has improved very little since last reported.? Mrs. Z. T. Bailes and daughters, Mattie and Sadie, spent Saturday night and Sunday at the home of Mr. Oscar Bailes in Stpel Creek. : ? Mrs. Annie Epps and Miss Kate Thomasson spent Saturday with Mrs. Z. T.

Mr. : Barnes Glover spent Saturday and Sunday in Yorkville.?Miss Winnie Whitesides is spending a few days with relatives and friends in Steele Creek.?Our ; school closed on the 12th inst. ! with the management of Mr. D. V. Epps. Dinner was spread on the tabic and the children marched out, ate till no more1 was wanted and then marched , back into the school room where our good teacher gave each a sack of candy and at 3 o'clock Rev. Reaves addressed the audience in a sweet and impressive . manner. Everyone present enjoyed themselves hugely. Following is a record of spellI ing of the advanced class the last month of the school: Miss Florence Glover spelled 500 words i without missing. Miss Rosa; Bailes spelled the same number without missing a word. Miss Zettie Boyd spelled 400 words without missing. MissLila Davis spelled GOO, missed one; Miss May Osborne spelled 400, missed two; Rone Davis spelled 510; missed one; Willie Boyd spelled 400, missed one; Gilmer Glover j spelled 540, missed seven; Glen-j elg Bailes spelled 400. missed two. The irregular number of words is due to absence from school. Not only were the words ; spelled and written, but the definitions were given. ? The new liquor law provides that members of the countv boards and dispensers shall be persons of known moral character and not directly or indirectly an applicant for appointment. It l _ * > ? aiso provides that dispensers shall be those not addicted to the use of liquor as a beverage. Letter to A . A YOUNQ, Fort Mill, S.
