There are but few editors in the State who have not made a vigorous and continuous fight against the city mail orderbonse. This has been done in the interest of the home merchant, and without money and without price. If the editors of the land had received reprular advertising rates for all they have said against these enemies of the country merchant they could now be wearing: diamonds. Now the department store man appreciates advertising: space and is willing: to take all the average country editor has for sale, and at a good price. What other class of business or professional man would refuse business to help their friends, especially as many of said friends never seem in tne least disposed to return the compliment or even appreciate it. A good deal is being said just at this time about the fly lugginp typhoid germs around with him dnd depositing them wherever it suits his pleasure, which, unfortunately is almost always or some commodity intended for human food. Guess there is a good deal in it too. At any rate butchers, grocers and all who handle food commodities would confer a favor by keeping their stock beyond the reach of the pesky fly. A den' v in i'o^; sup plies, who would make it knowr. that his stock was carefully guarded against contamination, would ?oon find that he would ?.h more business than the man wl < ! parades his goods to incidental^ serve us fly roosts.

This man Hapgood is a Northerner who seems to harbor a strong dislike for the South. It was he who, while editor of Collier's, wrote a very insulting and unpardonable article in reference to the South and Southern women, and to see that he is soon to address a body of the husbands and sons of these noble women, is, nauseating in the extreme. ? It is up to the town officials to look into the violation of ordinances touching on automobiles more closely than they have been accustomed. We believe that the vast majority of automobile owners have some idea as to where the use of their machines encroach the public, but there are a few who seem to think that the town sits up and takes pride in them and the amount of noise they can ma'te, the extent to which they can go in breaking the speed ordinance, and the utler disregard they have for the rights of others. That nu n Funderburk, who has started on a cross-country joiinu y from Wilmington to JSan PrnnAic/iA mov ho ti "flrflnl- '' ?>o & i onvi^wf iii?j wv w v.i uim, uo he has been termed by one p. onunent citizen, but he is writing some very interesting articles for his home paper, the Pugeland Journal. . Funderburk is now over about Knoxvil.e, and sti "gwine." The farnnr uctualy pays prtmn rn for bad to us. lie nays it in time expended in getting to market; in value of drafting animals and the food they eat, and in the extra hand for their care and handling; in increased number of vehicles and wear and tear on them, and in the decreased product of land that has less attention and care. If the country had a system of smooth and hard highways it would blossom like a rose, and prosperity would follow in the wake. Since Jim Hoyt is out of the newspaper game, we are not surprised to see the announcement that Columbia is to have a month's horse racing to precede the track meet in Charleston. Had Hoyt continued in the newspaper business he would have broken up horse racing, at least in Columbia. That Oil Nill Proposition. It was to be expected that some would hoot the idea suggested in The Times a few weeks ago that a cotton oil mill in Fort Mill would pay handsomely, and for the benefit of these we publish below what the Walterboro Press and Standard has to say of the operation of the oil mill in that city the last year: "The Walterboro Cotton Oil Co., held the annual rre?tingof its stockholders May 22nd and the report of the directors showed that it had had quite a prosperous year. On account of the short crop of cotton, the number of bales ginned was much less than the previous year and the number of tons o* seed crushed was also far behind the ommint" ncuollii n?noU/?/l Mitivuni' uouauj \/i UOIICUf yCl, notwithstanding this, the com pany made a nice dividend of 22 per cent." Pretty good dividend, don't you think, Mr. Businessman? Wouldn't you like to put out u few hundred at 22 percent? Thr >pportunity is yours. Fort Mill has a vacant building which with but a few minor changes could be utilized for an oil mill, and then all the capital needed would be to equip the binding with th?. ..ecetg^ry machinery to go to .vork.
