If every mar. who owns a dog would keep ir t'ed or penned in for the next sixty days, there doubtless would be an abundance of birds next fall and winter. Port Mill is probably the largest town . in South Carolina without fire pro- i tcetion of any kind. This is a matter j which should receive consideration bv the property owners, and especially the owners of the business houses on Main | street. If the city of Rock Hill, with her 7,200 population, can install a sewerage system for $52,000, it seems to us that | Fort Mill, with only 1,600 souls, might r*t up a water system for protection i from fire for something like $8,000 or $10,000. . One cannot but wonder what a pro- j ductive country this is when he has only to open his eyes and see the verdant growth of grass and weeds in ] very conceivable spot where the power 1 of man is not constantly directed! against it. If there is an ordinance on the town's -J -statute books prohibiting the sweeping or throwing of trash into the streets, the law should be enforced. If there is no such law, council should at once enact one. The town has been cleaned of rubbish and let's keep it clean. There is still room for more industries in our progressive community. We are bold to declare that there is not another town in our State so advantageously situated for manufacturing enterprises. Ground is cheap, rail facilities sufficient and just the right kind of honest and trustworthy people waiting for steady employment. We volunteer to drive the stakes for a new factory building. ev?n if the ground is as hard as a brick. The dread disease, tuberculosis, from > which it is said a human being passes in our country cv^cry three minis -more frequently found in the bk crowded cities where houses are built closely together in which pure air cannot circulatejfreely and where sunlight eannot enter. Over-crowded, poorly ventilated homes and workshops tend to spread the disease. We of the small a . l-A-1 i.L _ towns may wen ne manxiui ior ine abundance of pure country air in our homes. Fort Mill is a'small town and there are times when local news is veryscarce. We would ask our friends to please tell us anything of importance they may know, as we are endeavoring to publish all the news of the town and township ar.d it will be imf* possible for us to do so unless we have the hdlp of the pecple. Not only will we be glad to publish news of im portance, but will feel under obligations tayA for such favors. Tell it to The Times and we'll tell it to your friends. It has been agreed that newspaper I subscriptions are an infallible test of a I lean's honesty. They will sooner or j later discover the man. If he is disV.. I ho"*8t, he will cheat the printer some way?declare he has paid when he has not; sent money in the mails which was lost; take the paper and not pay for itI on the ground that he never subscribed | for it, or move off and leave it coming j to the office he left. Thousands of * alleged Christians are dishonest in this particular, at least, and the printer's book will tell fearful tales at the final * judgment. We are proud to see negotiations on j foot for a settlement of the differences j between the cities of Lancaster, Chester and Rock Hill. F or years a kind of j jealousy has existed between these towns, due principally to the constant nagging of the newspaj>ers, and in neither town could one hear a good t word about the other. The editors of I the papers have now agreed to cut it j out and we are certain this will be wel- I eomed by the citizens of the towns as well as a source of pleasure for the outside readers of the several papers. It's all right to get ofT a gag occasionally, but the newspapers of these towns , have long since run the idea aground. K,?. - Your home paper is really a tireless 1 letter writer, if nothing more. Week after week we prepare this printed letter for those living here and for those who have moved to some omer locwuiy, telling of marriages, births, deaths, the coming and going of people, of business efforts and progress, accidents, erops, improvements, meetings and so on.. In fact everything of importance ^md interest. If you should undertake to write a letter to an absent friend every week telling him all the news, you would get a faint idea of the task in preparing a newspaper. Many of our townspeople recognize this and take pleasure in giving items of news. It helps us and is appreciated. The Times hopes to see a large party of Fort Mill veterans attend the reunion in Little Rock on May 16, 17 and 18. To many of the old vets it is almost their last opportunity, for in & very few more years the places that have j known them will know them no more forever. Then let us pay them tribute i fifty years after the first guns of the I war, when all its scars are healed and i oar common country is rejoicing in an j era of prosperity, peace and good wNl. | Fort Mill should raise funds to send a number of these old heroes to the reunion on the fiftieth anniversary of the -war, and The Times would be pleased w-mcn w. - s f * to make a donation for the purpose. Let some of our patriotic citizens take the matter in hand. It is about sixty years since the English sparrow was first introduced into this country by a gentleman of Brooklyn who sought a remedy for the worms that were destroying the trees of that town. In the course of time the injury done the trees by worms was largely abated through this little bird. ! So it became quite a fad to import sparrows from Europe and turn th"m , loose in our towns. Undoubtedly the sparrow has destroyed a great many j tons of worms. But the remedy hus | proved worse than the disease. Ptr5 haps the worms have been held in check to some extent; but we have a great many more sparrows than we have use for. They destroy fruit, gardens and grain, disfigure buildings in cities and . towns, drive away other birds and in fact are nuisances. The dear .little sparrow has come to be regarded as the worst of the feathered pests. Efforts to exterminate it have been repeatedly made and some States have paid out many thousands of dollars in the bounties offered tor its destruction, but no one has yet observed any di- ! minution in the number of birds. Few men have more business than they want?it is only such a man that should not advertise. We never heard of a man having more business than he cared for. Every merchant desires as > large a trade as he can possibly secure, and in order to get it he must advertise. ! Successful merchants are the ones who advertise, and if you want to know whether it pays, ask th< m. If vou have only recently started in business, your first desire is to buikl up a trade, and the only way to do that is to advertise?inform the people through newspapers that you are in business and have something to tell then-. It is a fact that all merchants do not advertise, but just point out the ?nes that do not use the columns of newspapers in displaying their business and we will show you men \\ ho have not got onefifth as much business as they desire. If you are already an advertiser you should not run your ad a while and then discontinue it. People become Accustomed to reading advertisements and when a business man drops his ail? they wonder why he did it. In nine cases out of ten they suppose he is not making his business pay or has no bar^,. gains to offer. York Jury Visits Fort Mill. Three big automobiles loaded with 17 men came hurriedly puffing into Fort Mill Thursday and after making inquiry as to the road leading to the Springs land, the party wi^it out as suddenly as they had entered the town The men in the machines composed the jury in the case of Eli B. Springs vs. the Southern railway and had been brought from Yorkville, where the case had been brought before the court, to Fort Mill township to loqk over certain lands of Mr. Springs which were alleged to have been damaged by fire originating from locomotives of the j Southern railway. The party of autos made the trip from Yorkville to Fort Mill in about one hour. On the return i trip, however, a poor run was mane as j , a wheel on one of the ears gave away I < and a delay of an hour or more was j experienced. The jurors caught an evening train at Rock IIill for Yorkville. ; Saturday morning after listening to arguments of counsel and the judge's ! charge, the jury retired and, at about' ' 1:30 in the afternoon, returned verdicts ] 1 for the plaintiff aggregating $">50. ^ ^ I j Free Entertainment fcr the Veterans. Mr. Z. T. Bailes, of Fort Mill township, a few days ago rcceivul the following letter which fully explains itself: Little Rock. Ark.. April 21. Mr. Z. T. Bailes. Fort Mill, S. C. j Dear Sir?Every Confederate veteran who will accept our hospitality is to be entertained while at the reunion at a i great encampment of veterans, called "Camp Shaver," which we are preparing in one of our most beautiful parks in the heart of the city. Wo will have nlentv of brand new I | woven wire spring beds with new bedding; will have an abundance of mess | Itialls with lunch rooms for use betwem ! meals, and will station several bands and a bugle corps, whose special duty will be to sound the old calls in use in the Confederate army during the war. At this carnp we will also have free vaudevilles, moving pictures, etc., and everything we can provide for the comfort and pleasure of our guests. This camp is in no sense a charitable proposition, but is intended as an exRression of our appreciation of the onor conferred on this city in selecting it for the coming reunion. The camp will he limited strictly to Confederate veterans, and they will not lie permitted to pay anything for their ent* rtainment while there. All that is necessary is for them to notify B. i.. Roberts, chairman of the committee on Encampment for Veterans, before starting for the reunion, so that accommodations in "Camp Shaver" may be reserved. Very respectfully, Durand Whipple, Chairman Reunion Eating ai d Lodging Committee. ? Banish the Broom. Every true man hates a broom. Hhates it because it may raise such a dust, and because there is no u>e in raising a dust. An authoritative work on sanitation recently issued says sweeping should not be allowed. The objection to sweeping i* that most of the dirt and dust is not removed from the house by the process, but is simply stirred up ar.d distributed through the air into our lungs and onto all exposed objects. Moreover, the customary "dusting" which follows the sweeping is merely a more detailed repetition of the main stirring up of dirt. The object of house-cleaning is to remove such dirt and filth from the house as may spread or cause disease. And most dust is well-ladcned with disease germs of one kind cr other. I Obviously, then, the "raising" of dust j indoors is a dangerous thing to do. Fortunately, there is an effective way to remove ciust without the use of the broom. "Alldust should be removed," says our sanitary authority, "by means of a dampened cloth or sponge." But even if we could not ha\e our rooms "sponged" off, it would not pay ! to sweep, from the standpoint of hygiene. Dirt in a carpet is not half so dangerous as dirt in the nir we breathe, or distributed over the objects we touch and handle. The advent of the uneumutic suction cleaner has sounded the deathknell of the broom so fur as largeapartments, hotels, etc., are concerned, and ^adually this method of cleaning ^will invade the smaller households, touch to the edification of the male aiMnben. ' \ * Good-bye, Old Type! Reproduced in the century number of the Plattsburg Republican from its 1 issue of Jan. 7, 1871. We have to-day put off our old j < type type that has been in this office. 1 some of it, for more than twenty years! It is like parting with an old friend, and we cannot let it go out of our sight without a passing fareweil. And so we j say farewell, old type! We have summered and wintered with you for many | long years. We have sat up nights j with you, and beheld your impas-ive j faces at early morning. Unceasingly , you have done your duty. A thousand , times you have clicked in the compositor's stick, and a thousand varied expressions have you given utterance to. i ( You have been bound to the galley, and j visited the sanctum in proof. You , have received reproof and bee.i die- , charged to sgeak your mind the next , day to a public ever anxious for the : | news, and never done finding fault with , the types. You have sounded every j, note of human passion and uttered | every tone of human feeling. You have imparted news from far countries, . and hurriedly picked up the events that | were within sight of your own cases, j You have embodied jests and jokes . that have caused the sjdes to crack , with laughter, and you have spoken sentiment that has opened wide the fountain of tears. Into how many weather articles you have entered. What vast eggs, the "last lays ot . marvelous liendom, you have announced. ^ How your eyes have been open to the changing evidences of the season, and ;' how your ears have pricked up to catch the first rumor of exclusive intelligence, and how gleefully have you laughed ' tha-t "no other paper has the news." j Ofttimes have you been "gratified to j j learn," and as often "regretted to anrn-unce," that this or that astonishing j event has occurred. How many "cour- ( teous and gentlemanly" friends have j you not met, and how you have glori- . fied matters that have seemed to afford you a few hours or even minutes of j pleasure. But, "old type," your day is past. , There you are, heaped up in inglorious confusion, in the type box, waiting lor | a bid upon your useless bones. We 11 will not write hie jacet "here he ! + || lies" upon your remains, for we can ( pardon now ali your errors and mi - j takes, and they havt not been nurner- < ous. Your day is past for the present. Just now, brevier, bourgeoise, minion. ; leads, cuts and all, heretofore separa- 1 ted by stern column rules of brass, are hustled together in one indistinguish-; able pi. But you shall go to the type [ foundry and be melted and shall re- i \ appear in new and beautiful form. A ( resurrection shall come upon you. You I shall pass through the fiery fuVnace and 1 come forth with life renewed and ready j ] for action in another sphere. Perhaps j1 you shall turn upon your old friends, and ' in the hands of other compositors shall i hurl back hate and defiance upon us. j. You have been in this life conservative, j In the next you may be radical. 11 We cannot hope to follow you through j I all your future transformations, as j' wonderful as the metempsychosis of 1 old philosophy. But don't forget the ' friendly compositors who have kindly | picked you up from the case and ar- . ranaecl v.iu for the naner. nor the nroof- r reader who has corrected your innocent i errors and set right your turned letters with his cabala of mystic signs. Don't forget the old press that has jerked 1 c you back and forward in the form and ^ rolled its ink over your unwilling faces and then wiped you dry with its broad (}. ivhite sheet. Good-bye old type! I Seeing Ourselves as Others See Us. ( Under the caption "You Know What I You Think of a Monkey but Yeu Don't : Know What a Monkey Thinks of You." ! the Atlanta Georgian says perhaps you . have seen a man talking leu v and in;- , portantly to a company of other men - , dwelling on his own performances and ; accomplishments, impat ei.t of int i ruption, insistent on moi."| "iizing the whole conversation. It would be rude shock to his vanity if lie knew that the men around him were ither amu > t or bored by his egotism, and that the irn- , pression he is creating D exactly the ! reverse of what lie intends. You see every day women deckedout in useless unci unnecessary m <i wealthuf decoration that none save the queen of a cannibal island ought toenvy, and fancying that, because she has loaded down her natural attractions with a vulgar display, ^Iie has enhanced , them. She makes a pathetic spectacle, and the most pathetic thing about it i her belief that the pitying glances that are bestowed on her an*- glances of admirations. If you could know the sacrifices and the struggles that girls who barely earn enough to keep alive must make in j order to buy shoes that pinch her feet, : corsets that distort their waists, and I great unhealthful hanks of Chinese j hair, you might better unde rstand what a price must be paid because people ! can not see themselw.- as others s?-e them.
