In The Times this issue appears
the advertisement of the

The Hastings people

dealing which is attained by few

concerns. Any 01 our people
who desire to deal with this firm
may rest assured that they will
receive only the best treatment
and that there will be no room
to regret having traded with
fhem.

The Fort Mill Light Infantry,
Lieut. S. W. Parks commanding,
left in a special car yesterday
morning for Yorkville, at which
point the company detrained and
with five other companies marched
through the country to King's
Mountain battleground, 15 miles
away, to take part today in the
dedication of the government
monument.
As a result of the investigation
by Sheriff Hunter, of Lancaster,
of the shot fired supposedly
at the automoblie of Col. Leroy
Springs, in which he and Capt. 1
S. E. White were out riding a
few evenings ago, it has been
determined that the shooting
was not intended as an attack
upon either Col. Springs or
Capt. White, but was directed
at a dog near the road along
which they were traveling. It
is stated, however, that some of
! the country people north of
: Lancaster are so bitterly opj
posed to automobiles that recently
a bridge in the public road
was torn up and logs placed
across the road as a hindrance
to the operation of these maj
chines through that vicinity.
New Home for "The Times." Work
was begun yesterday on
a building, on Booth street, near
the corner of Main, into which
: The Times will move as soon as
j the building is completed. The
! office now being used by The
If m?,. * > t ? ? ?? < 1
nmcs is inadequate to tne needs j
of the paper, both in floor space j
and inaccessibility, and it is with 1
pleasure the management looks ,f,
forward to the removal to larger J
and more desirable quarters. It
is the purpose of The Times to .<
install a modern cylinder press j
for the use of the paper shortly '
after it is established in its new
home and to make the paper all 1
home print, thereby increasing;
its usefulness and interest to the, 1
people of this section. As soon 1 \
as the new press arrives and ]
begins to run smoothly it is also r
the intention of the management j
of The Times to introduce fea- (
tures in the paper which it" is f
hoped will add to its interest as t
a paper for the entire people of; 1
York county. Already The
i Times is one of the most widely .
quoted papers in South Carolina,
and if it is not now one of the
best "dollar papers" in the State,
as some of its friends state, it is
the purpose of the management *.
to make it so good that few will '
doubt the truthfulness of the
statement.

Another Babe in Heaven.
Sometimes in the April-kissed ^
springtime, the little flower we
welcome as the snowdrop, droops }
and dies, but its delicate face ?
has inspired us to hope, and perfumed
our life with thoughts of
purity. It was even so with \
"our baby" ?the tiny blossom of .
humanity that came to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Meachain,
Of Olir Oit.V TVin Clinclilnn .

love could not warm her to life i
nor the affection of parenthood
beguile her from drooping. Her
J breath went out like the exhala- i
tion of a sweetly fragrant minion J
1 of the wooland and in her stead
was left only a holy and beauti- i
ful memory?a memory that will <
last and sancitify as long as
parental existence. Little Margaret
Meacham died Thursday ;
evening, just as the shadows .
of night were enfolding the day. '
The small body was laid to rest
in our cemetery by hands that
had tried to make her young 1
life happy. May God's purest ,

We hoard a couple of Rents discussing the hnn
times recently. It was the nunc old song are hav.
heard for lo. these many moons, and now we wil
relate nn incident of our boyhood days, and whet
we first remember to have heard that word, o
words, used and the circumstances that led ti
their use, the men that used them. It was in 1848
54 years ago?a time which all old reople will ro
member as a distressingly dry season. Crops wen
very short in this county. We were (men livin?
Jown on Sugar Creek, near liarrisburg Mills. am
Sam'l Blue, one of the parties mentioned above
lived near Little York. Win. Scmbler. the othci
man. lived just over the creek in Lancaster coun
Ly. Now, it seems that Blue was overstocked
with hogs, or pigs, and was selling them cheap
We happened at Blue'o one day and while then
Sembler rode up with an ear of corn i;i his ham
ind told Blue he had cotne after a pig. The pit
was caught and passed over to Senible. Blue tool
the com and remarked that it was devilish hart,
times when a fellow could get but one ear of corn
for a pig. und Scmbler remarked that it w oukt bi
ievilish hard times with that pig. too, for he wai
unking nothing to feed it on. 'l'hat was the birtl
>f the words, 'hard times,"- with us. Just hcr<
ive will say that we were once a citizen of l.ittli
fork, the town spoken of in The Times some tinn
lincc. and I think wc lived in the finest house ii
Lhe city. It had a big cellar under it. One Jame.
Johnson had a store, the only one in the city
There was n man by the name of Clark who run :
\ store just Over the crock at Harrisburg. Whil<
living in this city we remember our father had i
jet coon which run loose in day time but at nigh
arms lied up. One night Mr. Coon got loore urn
went on a raid to Uncle Jack KitnlircH's, about )
luilf mile away. and. getting into the lien house
tilled eleven hens before ho v.-as ousted. Tin
logs were put on his track and run him home inl<
Mir yard and there killed him.
But to the hard times again. With the axcep
rion 01 me tnreu years we were in the war, On
lmus have been much the mime with us. It k
:ru? that for some months after we not home fron
\pi>omattox our path was not strewn with roses
for grub was scarce and we had no money. Th<
irst ten cents we Rot hold of was a present fron
m old uncle, which he gave us for seed, and \v<
mve managed to keep in seed, but very little a
;he time. But the times have been much On
uime with us. We have always thought tha
line-tenths of the trouble and hard times we linvi
lore we bring on ourselves by our wrong-doin:
utd bad management.
And now we want you town folks tn know thn
he Steel Creek road has been dressed up so fin<
