In the opinion of The Times the town of Fort Mill could not invest a like amount of money to better advantage than to purchase the road machine which has been given a test on the streets during the last week. For almost every office, and in almost every place there are lots of Barkises willin' to run even though they may be practically certain of defeat. Such selfdenying and self-sacrificing patriots are ready to go down to pArtain disaster rather than not r appear in the public eye. Oftentimes exponents of social, moral and other reforms attack men rather than the abuses with which they are connected. Sometimes this may be unavoidable, but far better it is to strike hard and exclusively at the evils and not indulge in bitter personalities. Men are won from evil ways and associations more by kindness than hard blows. It is well to remember amid all the strenuosity and warmth ol the present gubernatorial contest that whichever candidate wins next August South Carolina will "till be bounded on the north by North Carolina, on the west and south by Tennessee and Georgia, on the east by the great Atlantic ocean: that prosperity will continue to attend it > and that it will remain the very best State in which to live. The difficulty of dealing with the White Slave evil is great but the many convictions the government has secured during the past nine months shows that effective work is being done and that many unfortunate victims have been released from the toils of the slavers. This means also that many a girl and young woman has been prevented from falling into their clutches?all of which is most encouraging to the cause of morality. The Times has received from an unknown source a copy of the Albermarle (N. C.) Chronicle, which says that it is "Devoted to the interests of the Republican party in Stanley, Cabarrus, Rowan, Davidson and adjoining counties." After a careful perusal of the columns of The Chronicle we have concluded that the paper carries little if anything that would be of any benefit to the Republicans or detrimental in any manner to the Democrats of the Old North State. Anything that Andrew Carnegie says is listened to with much interest, especially when it concerns the making of money. Therefore his advice to young men in business to eschew drink and gambling carries with it considerable weight. Of course, as everyone knows, Mr. Carnegie has made his millions not merely because of his abstinence from bad habits but also, and perhaps more particularly for the reason that kind and generous circumstances have helped him. Nevertheless, his advice is good and should be followed by all young men whether they do or do not aspire to be millionaires. Many a young man has made both a moral and physical bankrupt of himself because he would not let liquor or gambling alone. The decision of Judge Hand of Illinois that labor unions are within their right in ordering strikes on account of non-union labor being employed by a firm, and the right of men to strike under such circumstances, will have a far-reaching effect. May it hasten the day when such cumbersome and brutal methods as strikes and lockouts may give way to a saner, fairer and more amicable way of settling disputes. There is great need for a greater application of the golden rule in labor and capital problems and for that matter in every walk of life, and it is coming. Already it has been invoked time again with excellent results, and when that good time comes when men of all classes shall regard one another as brothers and friends and not > as enemies and rivals it will be found that the chief agency in securing it was the law of brotherly love. is on jrourj THE OLD-NEW TILLMAN. Frcfu .he Charlotte News. The old Ben Tillman is the new Ben Tillman. Ben Tillman as governor of the State of South Carolina was an entirely different individual to that who now sits in the senate of the United States, charitable toward all, with ill feeling toward none, a benign old statesman in whose judgement presidents of the. United States and kings on their thrones are wont to heed. In the days of the farmers' alliance, upon the influence of which Tillman rode into power in South Carolina, opposing such stalwarts as the late Gen. M. C. Butler, Tillman was wellnigh an outcast. His opinions were questioned by all the leaders in the affairs of men in his home State. Even in the "Dark Corner" of Edgefield county, where he was best known, the idea of Ben Tillman running for a State rtffipp was a ioke. But as governor he laid the foundation for a usefulness in the years to come which rivals that of Wade Hampton and recalls the early days of the commonwealth when Pickens was at the helm. Tillman is an old man. His course is almost run. He was stricken with paralysis some fifteen months ago and that he will ever regain his old-time force is no longer even hoped for by his closest friends. But his dream of a battleship bigger and more powerful than those of any other nation, to be called "The Terror" or "Scared o' Nuthin* " appears now to be fated for success. I In the senate Saturday he voted in favor of Senator Lorimer retaining his seat in that body. He was unable to make a speech but he wrote a statement which he had the secretary to read, in which he declared his belief in the innocence of Lorimer of the charges against him. He believed the Illinois member innocent and voted according to his belief although almost all his colleagues on the Democratic side voted against Lorimer. * ? ??*?? fkof 1 ne press reports &<*> uiat Tillman sat and wept as the clerk read his his statement, and thaV many other members of the senate exhibited deep feeling. Now this is the senate which formerly lauged at Ben Tillman. "Pitchfork" Tillman, he was called. The rough and tumble member from South Caroliria. From the knock down and drag out tactics of former years Senator Tillman has developed into one of the strongest members of the senate, a man held in high esteem by the members of that body irrespective of party affiliations and when he comes to his grave, which is not far distant it will be with the thought that he has the friendship of all with whom he came in contact. Praise for Col. W. W. Lewis. The Anniston (Ala.) Star of of Thursday had the following to say of Col. W. VV. Lewis of Yorkville: Col. William W. Lewis, the efficient commander of the First South Carolina regiment, was born in Rock Hill, S. C., and has been in the military service since 1903. He was judge advocate of the regiment, was thereafter adjutant and was elected colonel in 1905. Colonel Lewis is a lawyer by profession, and enjoys a large and lucrative practice at Yorkville, where he has been practicing for eighteen years. Colonel Lewis is a fine looking gentleman and has very courteous and agreeable manners. In speaking of the camp, Colonel Lewis said: "We are very much pleased so far. The work has been very instructive. I like the camp site, it is very healthful and ideal for \ such purposes. Ours is the only ; regiment that will have guard mount every afternoon at 5 o'-' clock, and if the public is interested, we can show some fine ceremonies." New Cotton Pest in Chester County. Farmers of this section naturally are interested in the report that a bug is causing a vast> amount of worry to the planters of upper Chester county, especially those that have cotton on sandy lands. The bug is about the size of an ordinary house fly, the only difference being that it IS a iracuuu lUiifcei man uic ny. \ It is green in color and hops about like the grasshopper. It attacks the cotton squares on the stems, sawing them off as neatly j as a carpenter could saw a pole i into halves. And it is thus over hundreds of acres of cotton. The farmers have tried in every conceivable manner to capture the pests and kill them, but they are so swift in their movements that they are enabled to elude the farmers every time. A few days ago one of the Chester farmers wrote the agricultural department at Washington, in the hope that it might render some aid. or better, to I send an expert down to investi- j gate the trouble that in all likelihood other counties in the Carolinas will have to contend with j this year. It is thought that unless something is speedily done in Chester county's sandy lands the production of cotton will be greatly diminished. Miss Callie Alderson and Mr. James Braswell, two young people of the Pineville community, were happily married on the 14th instant. Mrs. Braswell is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Alderson. \ Farmers' Institute at Pineville. There is to be a farmers' institute and picnic at Pineville on Monday, August 13. The institute is to be held under the auspices of the State department of agriculture and is one of a number of institutes to be held in Mecklenburg county, i At the institute, the morning session will open at 10 o'clock and the afternoon session at 1:30 o'clock. There will be discussions on soil improvement, crops, live stock marketing, etc. There will be held at the same time and place as the farmers' institute a woman's institute to which the country women are invited to come and join in the discussion of subjects pertaining to household economics, home conveniences, cookery, health in the home, the education of children and other topics of interest to the home-maker. In connection with the woman's institute a premium of $1 will be olTered for the best loaf of bread made by a woman or girl living on the farm. Co ant 7 Fair Seems Assured. The p:*omoters of the York County Fair association are pushing. the enterprise with a vim. Application for a charter has been mz.de and granted, and everything is in shape to begin work in earnest. The promoters have met with such unanimous encouragement that they are going to leave nothing undone that will tend to make the association a big thing. The bcoks of subscription of the York County Fair association are now open at the office of the secretary, S. R. Spencer in Rock Hill. A petition for subscription, which should meet with the approval and support of every citizen cf York county, will be circulated at once. The capital stock is $10,000, the par value of which is $5.00 per share, payable in two equal payments, and at such time as the directors may specify. The promoters have agreed that no subscription shall become binding until one thousand shares have been subscribed. In making the price $5.00 per share it was done in order that everybody could take stock in the association. A fair for York county is a long felt need, and there is no reason why the county cannot have one of the best fairs in the State. This is one of the biggest things ever launched in York county and the promoters should be encouraged with a liberal subscription. It is espesially desired that the farmers become interested in the project, and it is earnestly hoped that they all will take at least one share to show their co-operation, good will, and their interest in York county's advancement. Ban on Prize Fight Pictures. Prize fight moving pictures became a thing of the past in the United States Saturday when Congress passed a bill prohibiting the transportation or sucn moving picture films between the various States and territories or from foreign countries. Heavy fines for violation of the proposed law are fixed by the bill. The president, said to be in complete sympathy with the legislation, is expected to affix his signature to the measure. Southern members of congress were especially interested in the proposed law because of the race feeling stirred up by the exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson moving pictures in their section of the country. Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, and Representative Sims, of Tennessee, pressed the bill in the senate and house. Rock Hiii Woman Suicides. Mrs. Parks Walker, aged 22, and the mother of two small children, committed suicide at her home in the Carhartt mill village in Rock Hill Saturday morning about 6 o'clock, gashing her throat with a razor and soon bleeding to death. She stated before dying that she did it because her husband had accused her of unfaithfulness and threatened to take the children from her and at the time of the deed he had gone for a conveyance to carry the children away. Sentiment prevailing in the mill village seemed to be with the woman, and those who had known her long believed her to be a good woman. On the other hand, Walker, it is said, bears the reputation of being worthi ''I less, ana ne nau many nines uccn ordered by the mill manager to stay away from the village where Mrs. Walker was earning a living for herself and children. League Ball for Rock Hill? At a meeting held Monday afterneon in Rock Hill, at which President Smith of the Anderson baseball club of the Carolina association, and W. S. Lee, vice president of the Southern Power company, who is also interested in the Anderson team, it was decided to transfer the three games that are scheduled to be played at Anderson with Winston-Salem Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week to Rock Hill, with a view to Rock Hill purchasing the Anderson franchise. The meeting, though gotten up on very short notice, | was said to have been a very J enthusiastic one and it is not improbable that Rock Hill will ; take over the franchise. Rock Hill is a good baseball town, this fact having been established a few years ago when the city headed the list for attendance in the State league. The Work I Yes, we believe will allow it to.
