THURSDAY. MAY 8. 1913.
Beautify the Town.
Next Thursday is "Clean-up
Day" and every citizen should
take pride in making our town
cleaner. We are all equally
interested in this matter.' Every
citizen who improves the appearance
of his property does not
only increase its value, hut to a
less extent increases the value
of every piece of property in
town and also makes it a more
desirable place in which to live.
Davenport, Iowa, seems to realize
the many benefits of keeping
a town neat and in order and
the Democrat of that city says:
"A chain is no stronger than
its weakest link, nor can a city
be really beautiful unless the
people individually and all together
decide to make it so.
"Hence the importance of the
movement of which the Rotary
club is the sconser and financier.
It is offering cash prizes of $300
to Davenporters who take the
best care of their home properties
through the coming summer.
"There are no strings to the
prizes, but the offer is hedged
about with protection for the
renter and the person of moderate
means, so that free and fair
competition is open to all, and
taste and industrv.
"There ought to he two or
throe hundred entrants in this
contest. It ought to result in
hundreds more of home properties
being honutirul with grass
and shrubs and vines, tor 'such
improvement is contagious."
While we have no to offer
as a reward for the neatest kept
premises we believe our people
have local pride enough to do
their best along this line without
a money reward. However, to
make it a little more interesting
will stale that the best kept,
premises in our town this season
will be given n $300 write-up in
this paper free. Now get busy.
The Stingy Man.
Our readers will pardon us if
we let a brother editor give his
opinions of a stingy man. We
are glad there are none such in
our town, but all other towns
have them. Our brother editor
says that if there is anything
on earth that gives him a longing
for eternal rest and deep,
damp solitude it is a man who
comes to a town or country,
builds up a big paying business
grows rich and then squats
down on the gold like a hen on a
door knob and is too stintfv even
to let the gravel grind in his
own gizzird. A real, genuine
18-karat, stingy, selfish man
can't be honest, and if he ever
gets to heaven and has wings,
he folds them up and walks for
fear he will ruffle a plume or
lose a tail feather. The kind of
men who build up a town and
county and enjoy life and make
the best citizens, are the enterprising,
energetic and liberal
men, who believe in living and
letting others live; and who do
not, when they pet a dollar,
squeeze it till the Goddess of
Liberty feels like she* had on a
corset. Such squeezing is what
causes such hard times and stops
the circulation of the American
eagle. If it were not for our
broad gaunod, enterprising men
it would be impossible to build
up a prosperous city.
Those far.;.erau. roil Mill and
Indian Land t.mnsl ips who own
land along Sugar creek will certainly
let a golden opportunity
pass to i .ipivw. tMr bo^tcro
lands if they do not buy the
Mecklenburg dredge outfit and
continue to dredge the creek to
Catawba river. The dredging
of the creek has progressed
almost to the South Carolida line
and if our farmers contemplate
buying the outfit and continuing
the dredging some action in the
matter must be taken within a
very short time.

If you have one of the new
nickels you had better keep one
as a souvenir as it is understood
no more are to be issued. **SIot
machine manufacturers are finding
fault with the nickel, claiming
that it cannot be used with
facility in their devices. However,
it has been found that the
new coin can be slipped into a
savings deposit without inconvenience,
and using it in that
way is a very commendable
j alternative.
"The Fort Mill Times looks
more attractive than ever in its
new form?a six column quarto.
Without any joking it has been a
source of wonder to us how
Brother Bradford could afford to
get out the paper he does in a
town the size of Fort Mill. Not
that Fort Mill is not {(good town,
but because of its size. The
Times would do credit to a much
larger town." ? Gaffney Ledger.
Thanks, Brother De Camp.
A merchant in one of our exchanges
winds up his advertisement
like this: "It takes a live
fish to go up stream; a dead one
can float down." The truth of
this statement is no Btronger
exemplified than by the merchant
who sits around and waits
for trade to come his way ratheV
j than ask for it through a well1
worded and displayed ^dveriise1
ment.
