Note and Comment.
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.

patches that Norman Hapgood!
is to address t he numbers of the
association when they meet at
the Isle of Palms In a few weeks.
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. Will our moneyed-men
blow this opportunity to slip
.trough their fingers?
