FORT MILL. S. C.. AUGUST S. 1911.
Which School for Your Boy.
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?

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. War- 1

valuable service in the political j
campaign of that year as in sev- J

organization had about 40 members,
of which not more than
one-half are now living.

Big Crowd at Filbert Picnic.
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. .

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.

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?"

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
