Moore, of the local graded school, requesting that patrons send their children to school on the opening day, ?avi Mnn/lov onH nf hi5 rlpsirp IIVAV AUVIIUUJ f miiv* v* w v.~ to make the session one of the most successful in the history of the school. We hope that the parents of the town will not only have their children present when the doors of the institution open Monday, but that all through the session they will heartily cooperate with the teachers and pupils, for there is no more efficient aid to morality, honesty,sobriety and good citizenship than well-conducted public schools, : and it is the part of wisdom to keep the school up to the very highest point of excellency. To do this there must be harmony of four elements, viz: the school board, the patrons, the scholars and the teachers, and without this perfect success cannot be attained. Therefore, let it be - J -i r s ! llie UUiy Ul IIICSC lUUI cicmciua to see that no deficiency or hindrances arise on their parts to thwart the good purposes of the school. If factions exist, pray disband, and give your hearty sanction and co-operation to the efforts being made to maintain the excellencies of the school, and so enhance its interest that it shall stand second to none in the land. Taft'a lnconaiatency. If the people of this country look to William Howard Taft, president, to aid in ridding themselves of the robber tariff burdens it appears now, more than ever, that they are doomed to disappointment. The president's wont artions cive rise to the belief that he stands hand in glove with the high protectionists of the land and that at heart he has never favored a downward revision of the tariff. It will be - remembered that immediately upon assuming the office of chief executive of the nation, Mr. Taft convened Congress in extra session for the expressly avowed purpsse of revising the then existing tariff law?and revising it .by giving the various schedules a downward cut. It will also be recalled how grossly this purpose was betrayed when that extra session of Congress, with a Repjblican majority in both branches, brought forth the iniquitous Payne-Aldrich law. President Taft himself was reported as having admitted, in a public speech, that the woolen bill in particular was indefensible and should be lowered. This admission was made in spite of the fact that previously the president had declared the PayneAJdrich law was the best tariff law ever enacted. And now, with a majority in both house and senate ready and anxious to go ahead with the downward revision, President Taft has effectually blocked the movement by his vetoes. The president's veto of the wool bill in particular is about the most inconsistent act ever committed by any president of this country. Every cotton farmer in the j land will agree with an exchange which says that the scandals brought to light in the last few years in the bureau of statistics of the agricultural department in connection with the reports on the condition of the cotton crop indicate pretty strongly that the "bureau" is a better servant to the speculator than it is to the man who grows and the enterprise which consumes the cotton. At eoma timo tnn if inrli t 111V OttlUV VilllVf VVVj IV IIIV4I cates that, if repetition of these incidents can't be made impossible, it would be better to abolish the reports entirely than to have these charges of gross errors continuously made, and the condition further disturbed thereby. In our opinion, Jerry Moore, who is given credit for producing more corn than anybody else, made a mistake in not accepting the job offered him recently by Mr. Armour, the millionaire farmer. Besides his salary, Jerry might have been able, with the millions at his command, to even bettered his late record, and won still greater honors. Then too, to have gotten a "pull" with a man of Arbuckle's wealth could not be expected in after years to amount to less than the digging of a few South Carolina acres. , We read in the papers nearly every day where some town is making improvements in the way of waterworks, sewerage af.d good streets, and we wonder how much longer Fort Mill will sit by and see the other towns growing into cities by making such improvements, when for the expense of a few thousands of dollars Fort Mill could probably keep apace. These things arc essential to the growth of any town and Fort Mill must have them. Mr. Farmer: Don't put off the payment of your newspaper subscription until you have sold your last bale of cotton. The man who has furnished you reading matter through the year needs his money just the same as the merchant who has furnished you with rations, etc. The Times is ready and anxious to cast a vote for bonds of $3,000 or $5,000 to be used in transforming Fort Mill's main street from a rough, unclean, grassgrown thoroughfare to a modern ? -1 J 1 ^A. graded ana paveu sirecu The railroads of the State should put on reduced rates for the occasion of the post-series of ball games to be played soon between the teams of Columbus and Columbia. ? ? ? Woman's Missionay Meeting. The meeting of the Women's Missionary Auxilary of the York County Association, ?ame to a close at Flint Hill church Thursday at 4 p. m., after a most successful and enthusiastic session. This was the first meeting as a body separate and distinct from the men, and the departure proved to be a model one, as the two whole days were consumed in work. The reports of the societies were most encouraging, showing that nearly every society had met its appropriation and some had gone beyond. Mrs. J. W. Hatcher, of John ston, was the honored guest of the union, being a State officer, and she was gladly listened to on the work of the Sunbeam Bands, Royal Ambassadors, and on Tithing. On Thursday afternoon, the State Mission hour, eloquent addresses were heard from Rev. S. P. Hair, of Fort Mill, on "A Review of the Past;" from Rev. W. E. Lowe, of Clover, on "Present Needs;" and from Rev. W. J. Nelson, of Rock Hill, on "The Outlook." The climax was reached when Revs. VV. J. Nelson and J. W. Barber, both volunteers to the Foreign Mission field, told why they wanted to go to the foreign field. The whole meeting was inspiring and helpful to the large number of delegates and visitors present. The members of Flint Hill church are to be congratulated upon the delightful hospitality so graciously extended. The next annual meeting will be at Union church. I? !

Professor Potts, late instructor in the University of South Carolina, and his bride, who was Miss Annabelle Johnson, of the public schools of this city, the two having been recently married at Berlin, have arrived at Breslau, Germany, says The State. A few weeks ago Mr. Potts received the appointment of vice consul at Breslau. Besides assisting Herman L. Spahr, consul, he purposes taking a course of study in the University of Breslau, which is one of the largest and best equipped institutions of higher learning in the German empire. Mr. and Mrs. Potts J have taken apartments across the river Oder, where they have | gone to housekeeping. They expect to remain in Breslau for two 1 or three years at least, and no doubt they will find life there both pleasant and profitable. It is one of the oldest cities of the empire, full of historic interest, and a centre of learning. From the County Seat. Correspondence Fort Mill Times. Yorkville, Aug. 27.?As it has been some time since I have written anything from this place, I guess Times readers will be pleased to hear from Yorkville. The dry weather is playing havoc with the crops in this vicinity. Cotton has shed nearly everything on it except the grown bolls, which are opening rapidly. Picking has become general except in patches of young cotton. Farmers report the crop at 60 per cent, as compared \\ ith that of last year. Mr. W. S. Neil, for years connected with the Yorkville Banking and Mercantile company, has moved with his family to Rock Hill, where he has accepted a position as traveling salesman for the Rock Hill Fertilizer company. The meeting in Yorkville last Thursday for the purpose of discussing the proposed North and South roaa out ot lorkvine was attended by a large number of people who live along the Filbert and Bethel highways, both of which lead to Clover. A survey of the two roads was made recently by Miller & White, civil engineers of Rock Hill, who found that the Bethel route would cost about $29,000. while the Filbert route would cost approximately $21,000. After considering the arguments put forth by parties residing along the two roads and talks by several lawyers, the county commissioners decided, on the motion of Super-, visor Boyd, to adopt the Bethel j route, which, in the opinion of r your correspondent, will be of j benefit to the greatest number of j people. Work on the road will j begin at once, as the chaingang f is now finishing work on the J Chester road. r Several important land deals ? have been made by brokers in j and around Yorkville during the * past ten days. Of importance j was the sale to R. N. Whitesides j and Robt. Faulkner of the John i M. Hartness farm, six miles J northwest of Yorkville, the price j paid being $45 per acre. The { farm contains 125 acres and is considered among the finest land in this vicinity. BEAULAH BINFORD. From the Waohington Poet. { Down in a little Virginia town, 1 whose name is important by having tacked to its conclusion the impressive suffix of "Court j house," the world-old tangle of j misdirected passion is being en- j acted for the thousandth time, i In this forgotten hamlet there is ; a meeting of the extremes. The ' hay wagon jostles the big motor ] car. The speedy life, the simple j life, and the double life are ming- i led together. The sob squad is 1 on hand, making the most of the ! varicolored scene, and splashing j with gorgeous abandon the hues j of the imaginary over the drab j , setting of the dull and common- j ' place. There is interest every- ! j where. It hangs tentatively at j the heels of the youthful Beattie. I It. fastens with keen intent upon j the heartbroken father. It gloats j reminiscently over the memory j of the midnight ride, the firing 1 of the gun, and the tragic death ' of the wife in the lonely wood, far from any witness, unless the stars took cognizance and the filmy eye of the owl made note. But over and above all these, it centers in Beulah. Who or what is Beulah Binford? If she were greater, she would be better understood. If she were more palpably depraved, a quick classification would soon rob her of her unlisted attractions. But she is neither the one nor the other. Yet, being neither the one nor the other, the immensity of her power for evil seems to have been enhanced, J rather than diminished. In the whole whirl of evil she has been the unmoved and impassive cen- ( ter around which all has revolved. herself the point of negation, incapable of a praiseworthy impulse toward good, equally incapable of an overt act of crime, a chit of a girl viewing the universe from her so limited I vantage point, her system of life so meager and yet to her so real, her heroes so tawdry; her heroines so pitifully small. And with all that, herself so completely j satisfied with herself, pasting pictures of cheap celebrities in her little album, and all untouched by the gloom of an irrevocable and irreparable past, cogitating the possibilities of her little future!

"Doctors said 1 had consumption and the dreadful cough I had looked like it, sure enough. 1 tried everything I could hear of for my cough, and waft under the treatment of the best doctor In Georgetown, S.
