Help the School.
The Times is pleased to call
attention to the card elsewhere
of Supt. F. W. Moore, of the
local graded school, requesting
that patrons send their children
to school on the opening day,

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 !

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

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.

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.

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!
