DECEMBER 19, 1907. """"
The time of ^ear is at hand
when everyone in business takes
u? a new set of books, and this
Tne Times is preparing to do on
January 1, pext. In looking over
our subscription book for this
year we find a number of people
who not only have not paid Tor
the Daner this vear but who owe
us for the paper for several
years past. To a number of these
we have mailed statements asking
for a remittance, while others
have been asked personally
for a settlement. A few responded
cheerfully, but a maiority
treated our appeal with indifference,
failing to pay even a part
of the amounts due and offering
no reasonable excuse for not
paying. The sum of one dollar
per year barely pays for the material
used in getting up and
mailing out fifty-two issues of a
standard size newspaper, and
considering this and the fact that
per year is only 81-3 cents
per month, it does seem that the
person working for the smallest
wages could keep his newspaper
subscription paid up. At least
this is our view of the matter,
and hereafter we shall act accordingly.
Now, before transfering
our lists to a new book,
we make our last appeal to these
delinquents for a settlement. If
you eannot pay all you owe us,
come in or send us a part. We
need every cent due us and can't
afford to send the paper longer
to those who do not pay. Hence,
if you are among those who owe
for one or more years for the
paper and fail to receive it after
January 1st, it means that your
name has been dropped from our
list and that The Times will not
be sent to you until you pay up.
Editor Way of the Waxhaw
Enterprise has a very pleasing
as well as interesting comment
upon The Times' recent article
about "hog killing time," and
concludes by saying that, "We
have never had the pleasure of
meeting our good neighbor.
Editor Bradford of the Fort Mill
Times, but we know now beyond
the shadow of a doubt that he
was raised on the farm." No,
brother, you are wrong. The
< Times editor is not a farmer nor
the son of a farmer. " In our
youthful days, however, we
^apent a goodly portion of each
Jr.og killing time with friends
and relatives on the farm and we
shall never forget the joys to
the children and "good chewing"
to the older ones each year when
the time comes around for
the slaughter of the fat ]>orkers.
With the closing of the registration
books only about ten
days off, it is high time that
those who wish to vote in the
election for town officers to be
held on January 14 should see to
it that they are duly qualified.
The requirement for registering
is that each person presenting
himself to the registrar shows
his county registration certificate.
There are many of our
citizens entitled to vote who have
not yet registered, and it is hoped
that the town registrar will be
kept busy for the next ten days
handing out certificates. Every
citizen who is entitled to vote
should do so and assist in electing
a mayor and council that
will continue to keep the town
<on.the upward move.
A man to be a success in life
must be of sound character, good
mind, truly honest, and with
clean, sober habits. We would
like to see every boy in this
town straighten up, quit the
whiskey, the cards, the cigarettes
and tobacco, and start out
on manhood's journey good,
clean men, and their character
would be conplaf'. Show us a
- boy in town that has none of
these habits, and we will show
you one who will make the model
man of our city.
While The Times is not authorized
to make the announcement
and will therefere receive
no pay for same, still we think
that our readers should know
that the annual meeting of the
board of County Commissioners
will be held at Yorkville on
Tuesday, December 81. All parties
holding claims against the
county are requested to present
#ame, duly authenticated, to the
supervisor or clerk of the board
ion or befpr.e the above date.
- The contract for the erection
of the Wymojo Cotton Mill
yvill be let perhaps this week.
The mill will be a one-story
Structure and wil) be 126 feet
wide and 306 feet long. The
<out-put of the rail! will he twoply
yurn.. Work on>tv ? building
will be (parted by the Jsttof
January. The site for the mill is
located directly opposite Wir?throp's
campus on the western
aide of the railru
^|T|Ub WhoDoe# Thiag*. li
|t appears from Col. Kohn's fi
sanies of interesting articles a
recently concluded in the News l(
and Courier, on the cotton mills ti
of South Carolina, that our esteemed
fellow townsmen, Col. v
Leroy Springs, is at the head of ti
four flourishing mills in this p
State, being president of the a
Lancaster mills, the Eureka and ]j
the Springtein mills of Chester c
and the Milfort mills of Fort h
i Mill. The annual pay rolls of f(
these mills, as given by Col. | a
Kohn, aggregate $498,000. The l<
fact that his cotton manufactur- L
ing enterprises pay out yearly a
nearly a half million dollars for g
labor alone in Lancaster and two ^
neighboring towns gives some
idea of the value to a community
; oi a man HkeUol. Springs?a man i
i who does things, and whose ac- J
1 tivities redound to the benefit of
all, either directly or indirectly ! .
?a man who establishes indus- a
tries which enable thousands of P
men women and children to ob- fi
t* * profitable employment, who j \(
builds up the waste places of his ^
community, adds hundreds of
thousands of dollars to its taxa- 1
ble property and incidentally
enchances the value of the hold- S
' ings of others to the extent of C
| millions. It would be interest- a
I ing to know?not as a gratifica- a
i tion of idle curiosity, but in order n
i to properly appreciate the magni- S
tuae of his potentiality as a coin- j k
munity builder?what Col. f
i Springs's total pay rolls are. e
, Not alone of his factories, but
of his several banks, merchan- n
tile establishments, dozens of c
plantations and other numerous j C
enterprises as well. ?Lancaster 1
News.
All of which is the more in- v
terestiug td Fort Mill people | o
when it is remembered that Col. ; t
Springs is a Fort Mill man. Of j s
; course, he has been adopted by b
j Lancaster, but Fort Mill is the s
j home of his birth and we will
continue to look upon him as one f
of our people and hope that the s
day may soon arrive when he J a
will return to his own. I q
I v
Ansel Will Stand For Re-Election. j a
Governor Ansel has given out a
i the following: v
"To the People of South Carolina: t
"Within the last few weeks I a
have been very deeply touched p
: by the many kind letters re- t
i ceived and by the many words of ; v
; encouragement and commenda- r
j tion from friends all over the |
I state ana also by the appreciative
notices frequently appear-,0
| ing in the press of the State, l1
with reference to my administration
as governor, and the re- 0
quest and desire of so many that a
II stand for re-election for another ,v
term. For all these manifesta- j3
tions of confidence I feel truly F
grateful and appreciate the !;
same more than words can ex- : T
press.
I have tried to discharge the a
i duties of my office with an eye i
single to the interests of all the \ ^
people, and, while I have doubt-1 ,
less committed errors, they have 1 (.
been of the head and not of the j
heart. In obedience to the ex- a
pressed wish and desire of so f
many of my friends, I have de- a
cided to stand for re-election to ]
the office of governor for another a
term, subject, of course, to the a
will of the Democratic voters in
the next primary election. t
'I take this method of thank- 6
ing the citizens of the State for r
the loyalty with which they have
stood by me in this first year fuOl.
my administration. I H- -.-J1-',
ceived numerous letters and 1(
messages urging me to enter the
race for the United States c
senatorship this coming summer, *
and while I appreciate the interest
and complirm nt thus ex- K
; pressed, I have thought it my u
duty to stand for re-election to J
the office of governor.
Lien Law .Sees Doom. r
,
There seems to be a strong *
f>robability that the agricultural (
ien law, which has been a bone '
of contention in the South Caro- "
lina Legislature for over a quar- I
ter of a century, will be repealed
by the Legislature convening on
the 14t.h of next month, says the
Columbia correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer. The press I
of the State is divided. on the
' subject, but a greater number
' of newspapers are vigorously
advocating the repeal of "the poor
man's only means of
credit," and doing this more j
persistently and systematically '
! 11 - A- * -?
man at any time since tile
measure became a law half a ?
} century ago, - at which time it . I
served a good purpose in a way:
though it did result in the build:
ing up of the country merchant
1 class at a terrible cost to the
1 small farmer.
The anti-lien law advocates,
j base their principal hope of sue- i
: cess at the coming session of I
J the Legislature on the decision j
| of Judge Brawley in the Federal
Court last spring, knocking out
the labor contract law on the i
! ground that it fostered a system
1 of peonage. The members of ^
(the Legislature fighting on that
aide of the question sav that it has
now become imperatively
necessary to repeal the lien law
, in order to control the negro
farm labor. Attorney General ;
' Lyon agrees that repeal of the i

en law is naturally to be expected
after the labor contract
iw is found to be unconstitution1,
and he is among those who
)ok to see the coming Legislaure
wipe out the lien law.
Governor Ansel in his message
all recommend the repeal of
he law. But this action on his
art will not be the result of
ny sudden discovery that the
iw is unpopular. He will be
arrying out convictions he has
eld publicly for many years?
or as many as fifteen years ago
t least, for it has been that
>ng since, as a member of
legislature, he spoke and voted
gainst the law, which he regards
as ruinous to the best
iterests of the State at large.
Interestinf Data From an Old Paper.
Mr J. W. Elms has handed us
copy of the Camden Journal f
ated July 2, 1868. The old pa- 1
er had been preserved by his
ather-in-law, the late L. Shur- i
?y, and is prized very highly. ;
Ve feel that the following ex- i
raets will be read with interest:!
The Legislature.?Gen. "R K. '
Icott, Governor elect of South j
'arolina," has in pursuance of,
uthority vested in him by the I
ct passed by Congress, for ad- j
lifting South Carolina, and other
iouthern States into the Union,
ssued his pronunciamento noti- j
ving members of the legislature '
iected under the act of Congress
'for the more efficient government
of the Rebel States," to;
onvene in General Assembly at
Columbia, on Monday next, at
2 o'clock.
The first business transacted, j
ye presume, will be the adoption i
f the Howard amendment, then
he election of Senators, and
oon South Carolina will again
ie under the protection of the
tars and stripes.
New Flour.? We have received
rom Mr. James H. Vaughan a
aek of new fiour, manufactured
t his mill a few miles from
'amden. It is made from new I
yheat raised in this District ,
nd is a superior article ?rarely j
quailed and never surpassed by !
ny in this market. The mill,
ye learn, has all the appliances
o a first-class merchant mill,
nd we hope the enternrisintr
iroprietor may be liberally susained
in his efiorts to supply a
rant existing since Sherman's
aid on Camden.
Lancaster.?A recent visit to;
ur neighboring District enables j
is to congratulate our friends of :
Lancaster on the peace, quiet, j
rder and good cheer prevailing
mong them, in happy contrast:
vith this pandemonium of carpet aggers
and loyal leaguers. There
he genius of Southern Radicalism
has taken no root, the League
as to a great extent lost its colesive
power. Democracy is tri-,
imphant and secure. The Dis-,
rict oflicers and legislators are
worthy white men. robbery and
heft are of rare occurrence, inlustry,
contentment and good
eeling combine to harmonize
,nd humani e all classes, welding
ociety into that unity of feeling j
nd interest which is its true and
ational condition, and which is
lso essential to the happiness
,nd prosperity of a people.
The Legislature.?This body is
o assemble in Columbia on the ,
th instant to inaugurate the
eign of misrule.
