MAY 2. 1907. -The New Era in noting that Ex-Representing Beamguard was in Yoncville a few days ago says tbnt "he wouldn't talk politics." j -Mr. Beamguard is perhaps of the ^opinion, like many others, that he laiKed entirely too much in the last campaign. ? In many of the towns of the State the merchants are adopting the plan of early closing. This may he nil right for some towns, but those whose population is composed principally of people who labor from early morn till darkness in the mills and other manufacturing establishments, the C o'clock closing is unwise. ... j We are still wondering if council will ever dispose of the rock ; crashing machine which was bought new some years ago and used very little. It' the machine i; to remain with the town, council should at least provide a shelter it. \Ve would a little rather see it given to some one that would use it than have it sit wnere it is and be eaten up with rust.

She then appears as 'if she really is worth something; and needs no superfluities to enhance her looks. If all young women would put in as much time training their mind and learning the wonderful lessons of amiability as some do in adjusting t.ne paint on their faces, the world would wag along better. * One of the latest trusts is a trust of the manufacturers of road making macninery. This is an unpleasant, not to say an ominous sound. What would be T _ -1 _ 1 1 1 ? iiciiieu witil unuounaeu expressions of uclignt by rural populations every where would be a road making trust, provided of course, that adequate guarantees x were forth coming that it meant business and was really in earnest in providing the country with better roads. " Some time ago a petition was sent to the Southern Railway Co., asking that electric lights he installed in the passenger depot at this place. Mr. Henry wnliams, the superintendent of this division, came up from Columbia and looked into the matter, and in a letter to one of the signers of the petition expressed the opinion that the matter could be arranged without any dilticultv. As yet nothing has been done, but it is to be hoped that ine company will put in the lights at an early date. Only last, week the writer was at the station when train No. 28 did not come until after 8 o'clock and saw tudi a do?.en ladies in the waiting room which was in total darkness, not even the kerosene lamps being lighted. t * The town council of Yorkville has acted-wisely in passing an c rdinancc requiring carnival com \ anies to first get permission I on adjacent citizens before grunting them license to exhibit. Hot only is a carnival very annoying to people in the immediate \icinity, but it is hurtful to the business interests of the whole town. Some years apro of these shows visited Fort Mill, and it simply drained the town of money - that is, the class of people who patronize such shows. 1 VVre were pleased to learn that a lew weeks ago when one of these shows tried for license to op n a weeks engagement here that council placed the license fee at ruch a high figure that the carnival was compelled to move on. We believe we exurcss the sentiments of a majority of our pet pb? when we say that Fort hi in has had enough of those traveling shows, ' jfu . .. 4 ? 1 ? 1 f- . IgttJ^ - port that^mly a few of the Wit-i tekind immigrants aregow living] ip South. Carolina, the hext leg-is- j iature will in all probability be ..called upon to decide-:whether $nis class of people really .worth to the State what it cost to get ..them here. We think not. Another year in our opinion will witness the passing of South Carolina's immigration bureau. The winning of the medal by a York county young lady m a contest at the South Carolina i Military College, in which she t was the only female contestant, is additional evidence that the average young lady who goes oir to college goes for the purpose of receiving instruction, while the young- man goes for the purpose of having a big time afld returns home at the close of the season wearing a big red necktie and striped socks and carrying a head, which, to other people, appeal's to be of balloon proportions. a c * There is no doubt but thaL a large percent of the degradation, disgrace, ruin and crime among the young, springs from the habit of night prowling, corner loafing and kindred acts by both ROVPR ltl llio oilv ivi'i 11 Vion-1 let all ov er this broad country. Any person who keeps his or her eyes open knows this. I lundreds of boys and girls are out at night, and we all know that many influences for evil and none for good surround them continually. A curfew restriction m ly be derided as old-fashioned and Puritanical, but the fact remains that there is vastly less night prowling in towns that have a curfew ordinance and enforce it. It is little use for the localeditor to waste his lungs and sprain his spine in trying to! boom a town when the citizens all stand around with their hands i in their pockets and wait for something to turn up. If the capitalists or nusiness men <lo not put their shoulders to the wheel and do a little boosting it is useless for the editor to try to boom things. He can write "boom" articles until he gets baldheaded, but if the citizens th m selves do hot take hold and pish, the to.vn will forever stick ! in the mud. Of what use is it for the "local paper to suggest I improvements and new enterprises if the suggestions arc never acted upon? One man can i not boom a town. It requires the concerted action of the citizens. When one man attempts. 1 to snoulder a town and carry it there are always a lot of cranky kickers who are always ready to jump on top of the load. Unity of action is what counts. | Jolly! Militia Officers Resign. Four rosin nations on the part of commissioned officers in the State National Guard have been 1 filed in the adjutant general's! office. They are: Edward F. Woodside, second j lieutenant, Company C, Pelzer, First regiment. Dr. 1). G. Thompson, first' lieutenant and assistant surgeon, First regime it, Fore Mill. John it. Hart, captain. Com pany L, First regiment, Yorkvilie. Frank T. Hamlin, captain. Company E, First regiment Anderson, The annual inspection of the militia we re completed this week, and the reports of the officers will go on to Washington in a few days. According to a report made by Col. Fuller and Lieut. Cabiniss of the United States army the company at Bamberg dots not come up to military requirements ; and will probably be placed on the retired list. The Bamberg company is criticised very severely by Col. Full n\ who says in his j report that it is merely a collection of men in uniform for inspection and is not even an organized body. The State.

I The time for tl? annual Ireunion of the Confederate veterans of the State is again almost upon us, and this year, as for several years during the past decade, the reunion is to be held in Columbia, the dates being the 7th, 8th and 9th. next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. No city in the South so delights to entertain the old soldiers as Columbia, and this year the people of th( Capital Ci y have made greater preparations than ever to guarantee the occasion one of pleasure for the "old fellows." Money for the entertainment of the vet-1 erans has been given in generous volume by the business men of the city, and this, added to the legislative appropriation of $3,500 for reunion purposes, guarantees no lack of comfortable quarters for those veterans who are not entertained in private homes. The reunion, therefore, with the splendid programme which has ! been arranged, promises to bo j the most successful yet held. Nearly a half century has! passed since the shrill note j of war echoed and reechoed j throughout the land and called > upon the sons of the Palmetto! State from the. mountains to the j lowdands and from the sea islands , to the Savannah to make ready i for the conflict; yet we find these j men today as loyal to the Stars and Bars as they were at Manas-) sas or Appomattox. Yeu, indeed, a half century is a long, long timo as men count years, and it is a far cry from youth to old age; but it would lake far longer i than the allotted life of man to dim the devotion and lessen the love which these men of the; South bear fov the cause that is as dear to them today as it was when the prowess of their vouthfid arms challenged the admira- , tion of the world; when they contributed the strength of their young manhood to rear and maintain a republic that would serve as a fit guide and pattern for the oppressed of other lands; when with undaunted courage they followed on Virginian plains the wild charge of some brave captain whose like the world shall not see soon again. Ah, those were glorious days?days that are more than worth the recounting. True, it was not decreed that the efforts of our soldiers should be crowned with success; but tell me, will you, who was victor, Christ or Pilate? A source of unfailing interest to the veterans and many others who \ isu Columbia is the beau- j ti 1 HI Confederate monument, which stands just in front of the State house, and the north and south inscriptions thereon. These inscriptions are so line in sentiment and of such classic English that they are woithy a place in any scrap book. They are as follows: NORTH SIDE. 2'his Mo inuiont Fori el wires the Memory of Tho-e Who, True to the lnstinctsof their P>irtli, Faithful to the Teachings of thoir lot thers.

Leroy Springs, of Lancaster, died last night shortly after 0 o'clock i at the Kelly Private Sanitarium in Baltimore, Md. Mrs. Springs has been a patient at this sanita- : rium for several months and for some days it has been known that she could not recover. The news of her death has cast a gloom of sorrow over the people of this entire community to whom she so well known and by whom she was so much admired.

For.viMe HelJ on Serious Charge. Percy G. Fonville, who is charged with conspiracy i?i connection with the embezzlement from the Charlotte National Bank of $63,000 by Frank H. Jones. * was arrested at Luverne, Ala., and brought to Charlotte Friday by secret service officers. Fonville conducted a bucket shop in Fort Mill for several months and it was through his agency, it is . alleged, that Jones conducted ( the speculations which led him to rob the bank. Fonvill's place , of business was closed for good just before Jones' disappearance < and lie left for parts unknown. Since that time, it is stated, so- ; cret service officers have vigilant ly hunted the missing broker. Fonville is alleged to have made a confession implicating Jones and others, but this can not be verified, as the arresting officers refuse to talk or permit their prisoner to be interviewed. Fonville made many friends during: his residence hero, all of whom regret that he is charged with being a party to the robbery of the Charlotte bank. His wife and children are at the home of Mrs. Fonville's mother in New i York. A Year of Disasters. In the year 1906 the most fatal record of disasters upon land and sea of any year in the history of the country Was established, but 1907, with its record of three and a half months, bids fair to he more fatal still.

The number of pedestrians killed alone more than equals the , number of the dead accounted for < in any of the famous and world j ;lecisive battles of Aurteriitz, Waterloo, Gettysburg or Grave- ; lotte, and the number of pedestrians injured equalled the number of wounded in any three of these batt'es combined. The railroad, electric car and icean disasters caused more leaths than the campaign of Waterloo, (Ligny Quatre, I'ras, Way re and Waterloo.) i There were 60,000 killed in his country last year; a number iqu U to the number of men .id al in the Union army in any /ear of the Civil War, and as ; nany as the Russians iost in the i tusso-.lapan war.

W. L. HALL, Attest: Iuteudant. I A. H. KoELHANKY, Trens What $1.50 Will Do. This paper, at quite an expense and a great deal of work, has arranged a club offer of sixteen well known papers and magazines, including the Fort Mill Times, for only $1.50, to new subscribers and old ones who pay for The Times one year in ad-i vance. We do not make a cent out of this offer. In fact, we lose money, hut by increasing our circulation, as we believe this unparalelled oiler will aid us in doing, we can secure more advertising and also get a better rate^ for same. No paper ever before made an offer that equals ours. Every paper goes to you for one full year. All are well known and long establishes and worth many times the price we ask. They are from the South. North, East*and West. Their combined values, including The Times, is over $9.00. We are able to make this offer for only a short time, and it will positively he withdrawn soon. If you want the best bargain offered you, order now. Do not wait, for you may hesitate too long. If you ' are already a subscriber to any or all of the papers in the club, your time will bo extended one year from date of your order. Probably you do not care to have all the papers and magazines sent to your address. If not you can split the club and have them sent to any number of different addresses, or two or more parties can come in together and divide the club among themselves. On account of the limited time that we will be able to make this wonderful offer, we will be unable to furnish sample copies to anyone. See offer in another column.
