President Taft has the reputation
of being a good man at heart
and the country generally accepts
most of his official acts as
inspired by a desire to promote
the public welfare. But he is
not all statesman; there is a good
deal of the politician in him and
he sometimes plays the game in
a not altogether creditable manner
in the interest of those of
his own party faith. For instance,
on the 15th of October
he issued an executive order
placing 36,000 fourth class postmasters
under the civil service.
It is a conservative estimate to
say that nine-tenths of this army
of Federal officeholders are Republican
in politics. One is on
equally safe ground in saying
that the President saw the hand*ir*?itinnr
nn tBp wall Bp knew
TT 1 Itlllg V/** V?? w ? v..
that he was going to defeat in
the November election and there
was every reason to believe that
his successor would be a Democrat.
Then why not, as he
doubtless reasoned, take time by
the forelock and provide for the
perpetuation in office of this vast
number of postmasters, nearly
all of whom were his own appointees?
Hence the executive
order to that end. But there is
another side to the story. Prominent
Democrats from all sections
of the country are planning to
urge Woodrow Wilson to immediately
rescind the executive
order once he is inaugurated. It
is to be hoped that he will do so.
There is no reason wl y fourth
class postmasters should he in-1
eluded iu the classified service. '
Furthermore, the Democratic
party is entitled to the jobs and
t ie new President should see to
it that it is not thus deprived of j
the legitimate fruits of its victory.
Eveiy citizen of York county
should feel proud of the county's
daily ne\*spaptr, the Rock lull.
Evening Herald, which on the
1st of December was one year
old. In celebration of the first
anniversary of its birth, The
Herald on Friday issued a special
edition, which, to say the
least, was a great credit to the
publishers. The Evening Herald
is one of the most valuable assets
ot Rock Hill and York county
and it is indeed pleasing to
note from the appearance of its
columns that the paper is now
receiving an amount of business
which promises for it a long life :
of prosperity and usefulness.
The business of Fort Mill steadily
increases and the buying public
no.v seems to recognize the1
town as one of the best trading
centers in this .-eclion. There
are few days that Main street
does not present a busy appear-.
ance and oui merchants are
generally rushed to wait on the
trade. The peoi le of the surrounding
country, the farmers
especially, are learning that they
can sell their products on this
market to good advantage and
that the merchanti of the town
can furnish them with almost
anything desired at reasonable
prices.
The Newberry Observer truthfully
remarks that "many a man
who thinks he hasn't money
enough to buy a Christmas turkey
;or wife and children will
have enough to get liquor to get
drunk no."

Railroad Traffic Heavy.
Along with the advent of cold
weather and the near approach
of the holiday season comes the
report from headquarters of the
railway systems of the South
that the number of passengers
being transported is much larger
than that of several weeks
ago, and a continued increase is
expected from now until well
into the new year. The railroads,
however, are making
arrangements to handle the heavy
traffic without serious hindrance
to operating their trains. The
greatest rush with the railroads
comes during the holidays,
when a large majority of the
folks away from home return for
the festive season, but the increase
in travel really begins
about the first of November
when the people of the North
make their annual visits South
for the winter. Florida is recognized
as the home of the majority
of these people, but many find
the climate of other Southern
States agreeable for a winter
home and spend the cold montns
there. Besides the large number
who travel by rail, the steamship
companies also carry thousands
to the winter resorts pf the
South during the winter months.
Card of Thanks.
Editor The Times: I want to express
in a feeble way my appreciation to the
people of Fort Mill and surrounding
country for their great kindness to me
and mine in my recent loss by fire. My
heart certainly swells with gratitude
that not my people only, but all the
people expressed sympathy, and more,
tried to restore every loss. Such kindness
and sympathy makes my loss easy
to bear. Of course my books were like
old companions. This, however, may
largely be restored, and then the many
feelings of gratitude together with
new books, I trust will make me a better
man. And I do hope that the loss
of the parsonage will be the occasion
soon of a more beautiful home being
built. I want to express here my love
for all, and assure you again of my fullness
of heart. Thos. J: White.
