The season is at hand when the parent is confronted with the question of selecting a school for that boy who completed his course in the preparatory school last spring and must soon enter an institution of higher class to finish his education. In selecting the school it is best to study your boy's needs. If his disposition is such as to need the prompt, rigid and strict disciples of the military school, then send him to the best one you can find. But if the boy's character is of that type that will best unfold and blossom in the civilian home school, where a home life of atmosphere pervades it, select such 1 1 r? a SCIiuui lux nun. Before making your decision visit the school, whether you select the military or the nonmilitary type. Know your boy's teachers. Cultivate their friendship and confidence. Above all, give your hearty sympathy to your boy's teacher. Do not be misled by an attractive catalogue, or a large campus, or a group of handsome buildings. Material things, brick, stove and motor, are good in their places, but they do not and cannot constitute a real school. The teacher, whether man or woman, is really the school. Scholarship is good but moral character is better. Material equipment can never take the place of men. Give your boy the best, for his future largely depends on the school you select for him. It cannot furnish him brains, to be sure, nor will the school guarantee to make him a governor. But its chief business is to build up your boy where he is weak and to curb and bridle and restrain the animal or savage in him at a time when he is most likely to go wrong. Come to Fort Mill. The citizens of Fort Mill and Fort Mill community bid the homeseeker and manufacturer come; the business men of Fort Mill and the Fort Mill section stand with outstretched arms, ready, waiting and willing to make you any inducement in reason and to lend every assistance to get you located here. Fort Mill wants more manufacturers and if you are a manufacturer it will be to your interest to investigate the advantages offered here before you locate that cotton, buggy, wagon, chair, sash, door, or barrel factory, variety works, or other industrial plant. Here you will find superior advantages for any or all of these, with labor secured easily and at reasonable prices. Fort Mill has enjoyed a steady growth all along, never on a boom, but climbing with a slow, sure step, and today the dreams of the business men are coming true; the "I told you so" men are busy on every corner. Fort Mill is- today in the hands of young business men, each and every one of whom have made a success and with their combined efforts they are making even a bigger success for their town; young, full of life, energy, push and vim, they are ever ready with their time or money to lend a helping hand to any business enterprise or business man that wants to locate in the town. Fort Mill is a healthy town, which is proven by the fact that not a single case of typhoid has been reported during the present summer. It is a town of good schools, good churches, good people, and extends the hand of welcome to any homeseeker or manufacturer to come and enjoy its prosperity and healthfulness. It begins to look as if the decree of the courts some time ago ordering the Standard Oil company to dissolve will be of little avail. In the circuit court at St. Louis a few days ago the oil company was granted a rr odification of t^e original order and December 21 was set as the date of dissolution. Another concession allowed the Standard was the privilege of more time should the company find itself unable to wind up its affairs by December 21. A well known farmer expresses the opinion that it is about as useless to try to stop the ravishes of pine beetle as it would be to fight the wind or lightning, unless the cutting of pine timber in ^ ' theroonths of June, July, Aug It list and September is stopped. Ami doubtless he is right -'-jy'* -lii Governor Blease is being heartily commended by the press and people of the State for issuing an order for the arrest of parties operating near-beer saloons and The Times wishes to add its indorsement to the governor's action. If it were possible to operate a near-beer joint and i sell nothing but the beer such an insnitution would perhaps be little worse than an ordinary soda fountain, but from reports it seems that all the near-beer saI loons handle the real article as a side line, and are therefore little I less than open bars. In closing ! these grog shops the governor has the thanks of every community in which they were operated. If advertising does not pay in i all lines of business, as some argue, why is it that those who advertise are generally the ones who eventually surpass in prominence and financial standing? Why is it that those who advertise most are those who make most? And why is it that the extensive advertiser is a good , natured, jolly fellow, while the man who knocks advertising is a , dried-up, irascible person? Can you tell us? v One of the peculiar things about publishing a newspaper is that the man who asks the most favors and who wants his name printed most frequently is the ; man who is not even a subscriber to the paper. Marshall's Red Shirt Cavalry. The Times is in receipt of the following list of officers of Marshall's Red Shirt Cavalry, which was furnished by one of the paper's Gold Hill friends: Captain, J. VV. Marshall: 1st 1 lieutenant, A. W. Parks; 2nd ; lieutenant, S. H. Epps; 3rd lieu- ' tenant, B. M. Faris; 1st sergeant, ' W. H. Crook; 2nd sergeant, Andrew Bailes; 3rd sergeant, D. C. 1 Epps; color bearer, W. R.

Quite a number of people of Fort Mill and the township went i over to Filbert, four miles north ' of Yorkville, Friday to attend the annual picnic, which is given 1 yearly under the auspices of Filbert Camp, W. 0. W. Estimates 1 of the number present varied from 1,500 to 2.000, and in the crowd were many people from ( the counties adjoining York and several from distant points. Invi- j tations had been extended to, , Governor Blease, John Gary 1 Evans, John G. Richards and | i T. C. Homer, of Bennettsville. . All of these, with the exception i of the governor, were present ' and made addresses to the crowd. .

A a A Catawba Only Ten Feet Wide. Where the bottom of the Ca-1 tawba river was never known to show itself there is now grass I growing and 9 miles above here in one place the once pretentious stream is only 10 feet wide, says the Fort Mill correspondent of the Charlotte Observer. To people long familiar with the river ' it is an interesting sight. Ferry| men are obliged to carve out a ! ! path for their boats. Some say ! that the accumulation of a great , quantity of soft mud and sand in the pond created by the Catawba ] Power Company's dam is re- | sponsible for the absorption of ! immense quantities of the water. r"' ill _i. lnis mua nas ueen esumaicu ai 10 to 15 feet deep, varying to ' lesser depths for 10 or 15 miles j up the river. It is wondered what the power eompany will do to remedy matters, for the water storage capacity is being rapidly 1 consumed. ! ? Rock Hill Claims 12,000. A number of the excursionists ; 1 who came from Rock Hill yesterday were distributed among the : hotels, says Saturday's News and Courier. The Rock Hillians are boosters from the ground up. Everyone who got within talking distance of them yesterday knows now just why "Rock Hill is a , good town." Rock Hill is in league with those cities which ( think that Uncle Sam's census men made a big mistake. The census put them down as having 7,216 people. While the Rock H:llians are ready to admit that ! (perhaps) this is a fair estimate ** A ' 1~ ~ "fifkln tKo ; or most? who icmuc ? ilium nit city limits, they declare that there are people around Rock Hill who claim that place as a residence and who are in sufficient numbers to bring the cen- ' sus figures up to 12,000. How- ( ever, Rock Hill is smart enough , not to make a fuss about the thing and the people there say that they have the 12,000 anyway. whether it's on the books j that way or not. So "what's the difference?" ? Mrs. Bulow Hutchinson, of ] Charlotte, is a guest of her sisI ter, Mrs. L. J. Massey. j isfe* * ' 1 Ten Die in Seaboard Wreck. j About 75 negroes were treated | in the Charlotte hospitals last j Thursday night as the result of j the head-on collision of a ne^ro ' excursion train and a freight in ! the yards at Hamlet Thursday ! morning, and while a number of j these were seriously injured, j only two amputations of limbs j were necessary. Most of the ; injuries were bruises, contusions : and fractures, and the work kept ! a number of physicians busy all I through the night and part of j Friday morning. j Two of the negroes, James ; Warren and Oscar Ford, who | were injured in the wredk, and 1 who were operated on Thursday i night, died Friday afternoon in j the hospital, bringing the total ; number of deaths up to 10. i Must Pay For the Paper. Taking a paper out of the post- ! office makes the recipient liable j for the bill. 0. D. Austin, a: i Butler, (Mo.) publisher, sent his j paper to Charles Burge. The latter paid for it twice and then refused to pay again. He said he ordered it stopped. But the court of appeals holds that mere acceptance of the paper created a liability, it adds: "The preparation and publication of a newspaper involves * ' i T - l ^1 1 mucn mental ana pnysicai muur as well as an outlay of money. One who accepts the paper by continuously taking it from the postoffi'ce receives a benefit and j1 pleasure arising from such labor ; i and expenditure as fully as if he had appropriated any other's labor, and by such act he must be held liable for the subscription price."?Ex. ji ?~r? t r Bank Stocks and Bonds Taxable. A decree of State-wide importance on bank taxation was filed in the Kershaw county court at Camden Monday by Judge Aidrich in the case of the Bank of Camden against the county treasurer of that county. The bank brought suit to deduct for taxation from its capital stock of $40,000 in cotton mill stocks and $18,000 in non-taxable school bonds. The county board of assessors refused to allow the deductions and the stocks and bonds were assessed for taxation. The amounts were collected, and the bank brought suit against the county treasurer. Attorney General Lyon represented the State, and his contentions are upheld by Judge Aldrich. Judge Aldrich in his decree holds that the stocks and bonds in question should be listed for taxation. Attorney General Lvon Mon1 1 _ a., .L nay receiveu nonet; mat me taor will be appealed to the supreme court for a decision.?The State. From the County Seat. Correspondence Fort Mill Times.

Cotton is I oeginning to shed its squares ind leaves, while the corn is at i standstand and in places badly wilted. Crop prospects are not is good as they were a short time ago. The W. 0. W. picnic at Filbert was held Friday with a larger crowd present than at any former picnic there. The speakers were Col. T. C. Hamer, who spoke on Woodcraft, Maj. Jno. G. Richards, who talked agriculture, and Hon. Jno. Gary Evans, who discussed the issues before the national congress. The crowd present, besides the largest, was the best behaved that ever assembled at Filbert. Governor Blease was to have been present, but a telephone message from Coulumbia stated that he was unable to attend. The reason was not stated. Mr. J. L. Williams, of the firm I of J. L. Williams & Co., has been I very ill of Bright's disease for the past ten days at his home on North Congress street. A Red Shirt meeting is being held today at the court house to make arrangements to attend the State reunion in Columbia Sep- , tember 27 and 28. A large crowd is attending the meeting. Chief P. W. Love, Constable Jackson and Deputy Sheriff Quinn captured three white gambiers Sunday in the pasture of the York cotton mill. There were four of the gamblers but one made his escape. The trio captured are to be tried before Mayor Hart today. The Leans defeated the Fats' in a game of baseball Thursday afternoon by a score of 2-1 n> 23. A large crowd witnessed the game, which was very amusing. W. One of our subscribers who has a lot of driving to do looking after the interests of one of our large mercantile firms, has suggested that we write a line or two on the urgent need of watering places along the roads for horses. We think where the branches have been bridged, a better crossing is the result, but it is a pity that the streams could not be arranged so that horses and mules could get access to them. In the hot weather live stock suffer when they go for a few miles without water, and this matter should receive the prompt attention of the county supervisor and commissioners.?Ex. # ^ t Parson's Poem A Gem.
