Should Be Stopped.
There may or may not be a law in
thia State under which indictment could
be brought against shows for fake.
advertising. If there is the law has
been openly violated this season, and if !
there is not, the law makers should get
busy and place such a statute on the
books. One show which appeared recently
in a number of South Carolina
w towns is reported to have plastered the
entire communities with flaming posters
showing the big parade, followed by
numerous acrobatic stunts, daring
riders, rope walkers, numerous clowns,
wild and domestic trained animals and
features too numerous to enumerate,
and thousands journey miles to see the
wonders. And wonderful it was indeed
to see how the people lined up
v along the streets patiently watching
|i for the parade that didn't appear. And
B for the show, the animals evidently
had eseaped and it was said that the
B| advance men and bill posters were
about as numerous as the performers
and were far more adept in their busineas
than the latter. This thing of an
aggregation of hoboes with ten yards
of canvas and a few greasy horns
advertising themselves as a circus and
giving the people in return for their
dollars a show that is not worth the
name has become entirely too common
of late and the law should put a stop to
Good News, But ?
We are always interested in things
that appear to be of advantage to the
farmer.. Hence, we had just read with
much interest an editorial in an ex|
change telling of the discovery up in
Maryland of large deposits of soluble
potash, a mineral which is large'y used
in the manufacture of commercial fertilizer.
It was stated that a company,
with a capital of $10,000,000, had been
organised to operate the newly discovered
mines, and that by the use of
the home psoduct the farmer would be
able to buy fertilizers at a much lower
price. This was good news, but on
turning to another exchange about the
first item to meet our eyes was a news
despatch from Washington City in
which ik was stated that the director
of the national geological survey had
made act examination of the specimens
discovered and had give:n out the information
that the mineral showed no
signs whatever of containing potash.
There iare just a few things for which
the people of this country now pay a
royalty to our foreign cousins, and
potash is one of the few.
Rich and Retires.
After 28 years in the show business,
Col. W. F. Cody, known the world over
as "Buffalo BillT" will at the close of
the present show season retire to private
life. With his show Col. Cody has
not only visited all the larger cities of
this country but has appeared in the
arena before the crowned heads of
Europe and is known to nearly every i
boy over 10 years old throughout
Christendom. Col. Cody is not only a 1
rich man now. but is not as young as
he once was and has concluded to quit
the show business. He will spend the
remainder of his days on his ranch in
Wvominp. Col. Codv earned the name
?r oof
"Buffalo Bill" in the early sixties
when he contracted to furnish buffalo
meat to the laborers on the building of
the Kansas Pacific railroad, and in less
than eighteen months killed 4,280
bison. The retirement of "Buffalo
Bill" nuu-ks the passing from the arena
of one of the most noted showmen the
world has ever known.
Then and Now.
A year ago a good heavy bale of cotton
and the seed from it would bring a
hundred dollars to the farmer selling it.
Now he will do well to get half that
money. And the reasous for the slump
are so plain, says an exchange, that
one who runs may read. The cotton
mills aH around the world months ago
planned to cheapen the price of cotton
and worked in complete harmony to
that end. The opening of the cotton
crop all at one time played into their
hands. And the making of the crop on
credit forced the sale of all that has
been sacrificed on the market. A year
from now cotton may again bring for
the staple and seed $100 a bale. It j
would surely do so if their acreage
could be reduced a third. Bad seasons
next spring and summer would have
the same good effect.
Keep the Dollar* at Home.
Ten years ago a farmer put his ini
tials on a dollar bill, says an exchange,
and the next day went to the nearest
town and spent it with a merchant.
Before the year was out he got the
dollar bill back. Four times in six
years the dollar came back to him for
produce, and three times he heard of
it in the pockets of his neighbors. The
last time he got it back was four years
ago. He sent it to a retail mail order
house. He has never seen that dollar
/ bill since, nor never will. That dollar
will never pay any more school or road
tax for him, will not build or brighten
any more homes of the community.
He sent it entirely out of the circle of
usefulness to himself and his neighbors.
If the Charleston papers could have
turned the trick as successfully as Ed
DeCamp appears to have done over in
, Gaffney, there would have been none
k of this wonder as to how it all hapL
pened recently in the City by the Sea.
From an editorial item which ap-1
peared in Friday's Gaffney Ledger we
take it that Mr. Thos. B. Butler is tok
be a candidate for mayor in the election^
soon to be held in his city. We hope ,
he will win, and if we were furnished ]
transportation and the privilege to
participate in the election he perhaps
would get our vote. Elected mayor, I
Mr. Butler would fill the bill as well as
any man Gaffney could elect, and j
probably better than some men Gaffney
and other towns have elected, but, for
the life of us, we just can't believe
that Mr. Butler was "cut cut" for a
congressman.
If there is a law in South Carolina to
punish one for neglecting dumb brutes,
the authorities of Fort Mill ought to
get busy.
Mecklenburg's Stringent Game Law.
From December 15th of the present
year to January 10th of next year citizens
of Mecklenburg will for the first
time in several years be allowed to
hunt quail?that is, if they comply with
the law. The hunting law, as well as
the law for selling birds, in MecKieri- j i
burg is very stringent in its provisions, , I
and the man who goes out for a day's I
shooting even during the open season ?
will have to keep an eye open to avoid
violations of the statute. Below we <
give sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Meek- '
lenburg law: <
"It shall be unlawful for any person
to hunt any game upon the land of
another without written permission of '
the land owner, and if any person shall ,
go upon the lands of another with a '
gun it shall be prima facie evidence .
that such person is hunting within the '
meaning of this section. .
"It shall be unlawful for any person,
firm or corporation to sell or offer for
sale any quail or partridges between '
the tenth day of January and the first <
day of December in any year and the
possession of any quail or partridges
between the said tenth day of January '
and the first day of December of any ?
year, by any person, firm or corpora- ]
tion shall be prima facie evidence of a
violation of this section.
"It shall be unlawful for any person <
to hunt any game with a gun except J
between the first day of December and
the tenth day of January in any year; '
provided that this shall not apply to <
the hunting of squirrels during the ,
period that it is lawful to hunt squirrels,
nor to anv person hunting on his own
land."
An Appeal to High School Teachers.
The Times has received from State
High High School Inspector W. H. ,
Hand the following letter, which we
give with pleasure a place in our
columns:
Columbia. Nov. 9.
"To High School Principals ana ieacners:
"All high school teachers teaching
any of the sciences, especially physiology,
botany, physical geography, and
physics, are urged to require all pupils
in these subjects to keep note books
and to record in them every observation
and experiment. To do this will add
greatly both to the value of the study
and the inttrest in it. To pursue the
study of any science in this way cultivates
in pupils the spirit of investigation,
the habit of industry, and the
ability to draw safe conclusions. Be- .
sides, no better composition work .
could be devised than writing the notes
of a field trip or an experiment.
"It requires only a little intelligent |
guidance by the teacher to put pupils
in the way to success. The beginnings
may be crude; if so, it is all the more
evident that such work ought to be
done. Success will come, if the teacher
is persistent, tactful, and able to
guide. It is a work in which teacher ]
and pupil can afford to work together.
Much depends upon the spirit of the 1
teacher. (
"I should be pleased to confer with ,
any teacher in planning such work or in '
getting reports of his success." ]
