FORT MILL. S. O.. JULY 21. 1910.
No Half-way Ground for Democrats.
There is no half-way ground
for Democrats when it comes to
forcing prohibition, so-called, on
an unwilling community. One of
the cardinal principles of the
Democratic party is local selfgovernment.
Did any one hear
of President Grover Cleveland
importing from Oregon an individual
to fill the office of postmaster
in any Southern city?
Hardly. Why? Because Grover
Cleveland was a Democrat. Do
the Republican national administrations
force alien Federal
officers upon Southern communities?
They do. An instance?
Florence. S. C. Whv do thev do
it? Because they have no respect
for the wishes of the people to be
affected by such appointments.
Is there more reason or justice
in the people of York county ,
taking from the people of Aiken
county the management of their
own affairs? If the people of Aiken
county wish to continue the
legalized sale of liquor through
the county dispensary, is it any
part of the business of the people
of York county to interfere with
them? Democrats cannot afford
to endorse such Republican
principles by voting into the!
executive office a man who
would stifle local self-government.
It is high time for some
men who claim to be Democrats
to learn a thing or two about the
doctrines of their party?
A Capital Suggestion.
The suggestion which was made i
publicly in Fort Mill some days
ago that Mayor John T. Roddey,
of Rock Hill, would make a valuable
member of the General As
Li., i * ? *
semujy iuis met. wiui iruicn iuvui .
in this section of the county.
The Times would be pleased to
learn that Mayor Roddey had decided
to assent to the wishes of
his Fort Mill friends. There is
little doubt that he would receive
a flattering vote in this section.
Compulsory Education Progressing.
The most important boost we
have yet seen for the cause of
compulsory education in the
South was the recent unanimous j
endorsement given the proposal
by the Weekly Press Association
of Georgia. Such an endorsement
is worth more than all the
resolutions that could be passed
\>y the various teachers' associations
of the South in a year.
The weekly press of Georgia, as
of the other States of the South,
is a power and when its editors
work concertedly for any undertaking
results are sure to follow.
Compulsory education for South
Carolina has never appealed with
much force to this paper. There
are objections to the proposed
law the operation of which we
have feared would not be overcome
by the benefits to be derived
from the wholesome
features. No sane man can
deny, however, that every white
child is entitled to an education
and that the State should provide
for his educational wants, regardless
of the cost. One has
but to frequent the places where
the youth of both sexes are to be
found and listen to their conversation
to reach the conclusion
that there is a screw loose in our
educational system. In Fort
Mill, for instance, such like remarks
as "the hands are apt to
starve to death if the mill losses
much more time" is a comparatively
mild reminder that something
should be done to force
si \

a little learning into heads that
are now devoid of anything
approaching knowledge of the
correct use of simple English
words.
Julius E. Boggs ha'j withdrawn
from the race for the Democratic
nomination for Congress against
Wyatt Aiken in the Third district.
One or two well meaning
but misguided gentlemen who
are opposing Mr. Fin ley in the
Fifth district could with profit to
themselves follow the example of
Mr. Boggs.
No town is worthy of a newspaper
if the editor finds the success
of his paper dependent upon
the good will of the lawless, ignorant
element of the community.
What such a town needs
is a stockade.
