THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1912.
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.
