"Persecuting" the Trusts.
An unnamed writer in the Textile
Manufacturer of Charlotte is, he says,
"inclined to believe that the popular
wave of prosecution, and even persecution,
of the so-called trusts and
large business interests has nearly
reached its crest, and before long will
begin to subside. The people at last
are beginning to realize that these
attacks cannot be continued indefinitely
and indiscriminately without wrecking
the whole business life of the nation
~ and bringing distress to the people at
large." And it may be added that, this
unnamed writer was probably never
worse wrong in his life. Up to a few
years ago the trust magnates were
allowed to pursue their practices of
robbing tbe masses without molestation
and as the result millionaires and multimillionaires
have sprung up throughout
the entire country. In our opinion
the recent prosecutions cf a few of the
big corporations tnay be taken as an
indication of what will soon follow on
a much larger scale. With the election
next year of a Democratic president
and Congress we hope and expec* to
see a wholesale prosecution of the
trusts, a lopping off of the tariff by
which they are protected, and a consequent
downward movement of prices
until the laboring man will no longer
be compelled to toil day after day for
wages barely large enough to buy for
himself and family the actual necessities
of life.
Educated Farmer*.
A promir^nt educator is quoted as
saying that one of the most encouraging
signs of the times for men who
are engaged in the work of agricultural
education is the increasing desire of
educated young men to take up farm
wcrk. In the past many of our brightest
turned out by agricultural
institutions were at once picked up by
our stations and colleges, thus leaving,
as it were, only the dullest boys to return
to the farm. However, during
recent years, marked changes have
been brought about. "During the last
few months," says this educator, "I
have had several applications for graduates
to accept salaried positions. In
* 4 1 1 3 " /.A^t.ni.^otiAn ufitK
one instance i nau a iuipvimuvi. >.?>
the student whom I regarded as the
strongest man in his eiass with a viewto
inducing him to become a candidate
for the position in question. To my
surprise, and much to my gratification,
I was informed that it was the intention
of this your.? man to return to the
farm and that sufficient inducement
could not be helc out to change his
pians in this regard. I then called the
next best man, orly to hear the same
tale from him. Four men in succession
told me the same story. This experience
strongly impressed me with the idea
that these institutions must be working
along proper lines. Thus, while 1
think it creditable that they should
turn out teachers and investigators, yet
1 regard it of first importance that they
should turn out good farmers."
The Dog and the Shadow.
A Dog, crossing a bridge over a
stream with a piece of flesh in his
mouth, saw his own shadow in the
water, and took it for that of another
Dog. with a piece of meat double his
own in size. He therefore let go his
own, and fiercely attacked the other
Dog, to get his larger piece from him.
He thus lost both: that which he
grasped at in the water, because it
was a shadow; and his own, because
^ the stream swept it away.
Names Wanted.
Our friends in the Western States
will confer a favor on The Times if they
will send us the names of persons in their
section who moved 'torn this country,
or whose ancestors did, so we can send
them sample copies of The Times, and
let them know what is going on among
their kindred in the Palmetto State.
Some Hot Weather.
That the past summer has been one
of unusual heat is evidenced by the
summary of the records in the office of
the local weather bureau, says the
Charlotte Observer of Saturday. There
have been fifty-eight days during the
summer when the thermometer registered
90 degrees and above which
equals the record. The mercury tipped
the notch at 92 Thursday and slipped
over the 90 mark again yesterday.
During the past week or more the
temperature has been rather unusual
in its sustained intensity but there is a
change in prospect. There has recently
been a good deal of chilling weather
in the West and Northwest but the
currents have been carrying it over the
lake region and none has been sweeping
South.
The recent hot weather has been
great for the late cotton which has
been held buck by reason of the summer
droughts, etc. The cotton men would
like to see it remain us it is for weeks
in order that the planters might harvest
a fine top crcp of cotton.
Newsy Notes From Gold Hill.
Correspondence Fort Mill Times.
Editor The Times:?The enterprising
skeeters have made their debut into
society here, otherwise things are running
along smoothly.
A tenant house on Mrs. Lee Nivens
farm was destroyed by fire last week.
It was occupied by a family of Smiths,
who were in the field at work, and all
their belongings wei t up in smoke.
During a thunder storm last week
lightning killed a horse belonging to
Mr. B. M. Faris. We learn t..e loss
was fully covered by insurance.

THE NEW TEACHER IN TOWN.
So often at the beginning of the
school season, one hears the question:
"How do you like your new teacher;
is she pleasant?" But one never hears
that anyone has asked the teacher how
she likes the "new people." No
one asks if the people are pleasant
to her, if she has a comfortable school
and sleeping room, if she has time to
walk or visit, or any other question to
to show that the teacher is anything
more than a mere biped.
Sympathy is due the young girl who
goes, for the first time, into a strange
home to commence her wage earning
as teacher. She arrives with her
trunk, perhaps only one, or may be
two, a box containing her treasured
bopks and probably a few little keepsakes
and pictures from her own home
room, to brighten and give comfort to
the new and strange walls which she
expects to call her own for the months
which seem to stretch so far into the
future and so far away from the loving
home hearts. If her trunk is
large she will hear hints and grunts of
disapproval as it is carried to her
room. If she has two small trunks?
"Wonder what she wants with all this
truck"?"Must be going to stay for"*?<
mur>?r r/imapliu nnt al
CVCI C&Jlvt iiiuiij uivtv
ways as kind as these.
Talk about heroism! It requires the
bravest, stoutest heart to face all
those eyes at her first meal. She
knows she i3 being "picked to pieces."
Everything she says and does, everything
about her dress to the tie of the
smallest ribbon, is being scanned for
comment when her back is turned. Yet
she is expected to appear at her best
on all occasions. If she doesn't have a
cry and wish for home when she gains
the safety of her own room she is no
true girlie.
She has never taught before, her
standing in her class was high and her
place in the hearts of her schoolmates
was secure and warm. Her modest,
; timid, refined sensitiveness asks for a
i little of the love and sympathy she had
always received at school. Her pupils
think her cowardly and show a little of
! the "bully" that is in all young ani;
mals. She is reported in the family as
j beir g silly, vain and conceited. She is
neither blind nor deaf, ar.d quickly
i understands the undercurrent which is
too often helped al< ng instead of
checked by the older members. It is
"grand fun" to make the teacher
"mad." All these keen stabs must be
j endured. Not even the home letters
* ?* * ** 4.u..

the paltry sum coming at the end of
the term to help the home fund.
When the school hours have tolled
out their limit and she is free for a
little while, does any one ask her
pleasantly, if she would like to walk,
or do<s any one offer to show her
pleasant reads or paths where she
can feel that rudeness ard ill-n.anners
are not everywhere? Does any one
ask any of the neighbors to \isit her,
or arrange the Sabbath program so
that she can atttnd church regularly?
Reference in this instance is to the girl
who accepts a situation in a country
home, preferring a few pupils as her
first experience. Too often she is
treated as a mere hireling, her tastes
and pleasures trod upon, if they are
considered at all, and at the close of
the term she returns to the home fold
with a loss of much of the refined
femininity so dear in every girl and
woman, and a hard, bitter feeling

effaceable scar in her heart, and an
ineffaceable, pitil'ul tone on her face.
Major Thos. Beckham Dead.
Mej. Thomas Chisolm Beckham died
suddenly at his home in Hock Hill
Saturday morning, aged 79 years. He
had been quite sick for severai weeks
but was thought to be convalescent,
having been out several times last
week. His death was due largely to
infirmities of old age. Maj. Beckham
was born and rais"d in Chester county,
, near Landsford. He participated in the
War Between the Sections from the
beginning to the end, and served with
gallantry. He was captain of Company
B, Fifth South Carolina infantry. It
is a historical fact that at the second
battle of Mannassas he was promoted
for disobedience of orders. He was
ordered by the colonel of his regiment
to retreat in the face of a heavj
Federal fire. Instead of this, he ordered
his company forward and came out of
the conflict victorious. It was in this
battle that he was wounded three times,
one of which confined him to the hospital
for several months.
After the war he was married to
Miss Martha Henkle, of Chester county.
From this union five children were born,
| two of whom, the eldest son and
! dnncrhtpr arc dead. Those surviving'
him are: his widow and two daughters,
Misses Frances and Amelia, and one
son, James. He was sitting in the hall
of his home Saturday morning, after
walking around as usual, in the act of
i signing his name to a legal paper when
1 he lurched forward out of his chair and
' fell dead to the floor.
Blind Massey Again in Trouble.
Prof. J. M. Massey, the blind mu:
sician, who was sentenced to the
I penitentiary for 12 months from this
j county for passing a worthless check,
and whose sentence expired about three
months ago, has gone back to his old
tricks, says the Henderson (N. C.)
Gold Leaf. He has just been arrested
in Casa, Ark., for passing a worthless
check on the Bank of Union, at Mbnroe.
He passed the check at Larkinsville,
Ala., and it was for ten dollars. It is
' said that Massev*s work in the State
! penitentiary for the twelve months was
turning the grindstone, and the probability
is that he will soon be turning it
| some more.
Blind Massey is known in Fort Mill,
! and especially well is he remembered
by a number of our citizens. Two
years or more ago Massey visited Fort
I Mill for the pur|>ose of tuning and repairing
pianos and while here was the
j recipient of many favors on account of
his affliction. Several weeks the blind
I musician worked in the town and comj
munity and during that time gained the
confidence of a number of people. It
: was then that Massey began to take
! advantage of his newly acquired friends.
! Several merchants of the town readily
sold him goods upon the promise of
payment later and small sums of money
were likewise obtained from a number
of others. Massey then*disappeared
; from Fort Mill and nothing more was
I heard from him here until it was
j learned that he had tried to work a
. similar game in a North Carolina town
: and had fallen into the clutches of the
law. The Arkansas authorities have a
tough customer in the person of Blind
Massey and should send hiin up for a
, long term.
