'The first cotton blooms having been brought in. who will bring along the first open boll?"?Rock Hill Herald. What we are more Interested in is who will bring in the first and largest watermelon. It stands as a matter of history to the everlasting discredit of this country that in the ten years from 1903 to 1912. inclusive, a total of 39,808 people?the equivalent of nearly forty regimentswere killed or injured in the celbrations of the Fourth of July. The returns from the latest Fourth are incomplete, but it is to be hoped that the fatalities were not as great in number as those of some former years. According to the law which went into effect April 25, any merchant who sells cold storage eggs as fresh eggs must, on complaint of a customer, replace them with fresh eggs, or be liable to prosecution. It also provides that the merchant must replace spoiled eggs. Another ruling provides that anyone buyft Wrtolrnt rvP r***arviio ot ?*q ii? ?i*|S u uooivut ui ^i a^vo, en uu berries or other fruit is entitled to full measure and the merchant who sells less is subject to the penalty. Rural mail carriers in some vicinities of the West have started organized camnaigns to secure good roads, holding out to the public the promise of better service as a reward. Each rural carrier has undertaken the task of urging upon the township superviaor in his district the necessity of building good and permanent highways. In several tactions where good roads obtain the carriers are using autos in covering their routes, to the a . 1 . rv4* t hn cui'i'i'nn greai improvement vi *#? It is believed that the automobile will supplant the horse drawn mail wagon as soon as all main highways are in good shape. It is stated in the Washington dispatches that under a special Appropriation of $75,000 to demonstrate the best way to eradicate hog cholera the government has begun experiments. Work has been started in Dallas county, Iowa, in cooperation with the State veterinarian And the Iowa State college and later will extend to other States. Representatives of the bureau of animal industry will participate. Careful surveys of Dallas county will be made and all data on cholera losses obtained, serum treatment Administered, and every possible step taken to eradicate the disease. About the worst habit that boys can fall into is that of loafing on the streets at night. It is then that they cast their lot ir slippery places when at any moment they are likely to fall intr evil ways. All the good and noble lessons taught them b> their mothers are there counteracted and nullified. They learr nothing that is good ? but every thing bad. The boys who spenc their evenings in the sacred pre cincts of the home with goot books for their companions an the future hope of the republic they will fill our legislative an< congressional halls, and sit ii judgment over men and meas ures, while the boys who run thi streets will fill our jails, alms houses and lunatic asylums Parents who are responsible fo] these broken laws of decenc] will have broken hearts ant owed heads in the awaken in) years that will inevitably follow Newspaper advertising tends c to lower the cost of living, ac- o cording to the opinion of speakers at a social gathering in Chi- " cago recently. If it were not " for advertising the public would j be bankrupt as the result of 5 soaring prices, it was asserted, f The relation of newspaper adver- s tising to the high cost of living n was summarized by the speakers s as follows: It decreases living y expenses. It increases the vol- 1 ume of side. In increasing sales * to customers, it lowers prices. v Advertisements tell people where n to buy cheapest. Bargains would n go begging were it not for advertising. Advertisements are much g cheaper than high salaried drum- r mers. c l; r The American Lumberman has f some timely advice on the sub- ^ ject of town boosting that is as applicable to Fort Mill as any- t where else. It says that if you r want to see this town grow you a should remember that you are a p part of it and that its growth de- s pends as much on you as sn your 1 neighbors. Don't get the idea 1 that the future prosperity of this ^ town rests with a few, for it is J the busines of the many. Above! all, don't criticise those who are * building up the community and do nothing yourself. They at ~ least have the proper spirit and ? just as long as you deny them c your support, just that much ~ harder their work will be. Be a ^ booster for the town and lend \ your co-operation to those who ~ had the nerve to start first. It t is never too early to start and it is never too late to begin. Maintenance of Good Roads. n The present year promises to be the greatest in the history of u the movement for the improve ment of the public roads of the N United States, according to the J. reports received from all parts of the country by the United States department of agriculture. A joint committe of Congress is engaged in an investigation of j the feasibility of federal aid in J the construction, improvement r and maintenance of public high- l ways, and a number of the State ~ legislatures are considering good ! road legislation. In connection ! with the general impetus that t i the good road movement has / recently had in all parts of the ! 1 a Special Jul) j| jS Qoeen Quality Oxfords, $3.00 Harrisburg Oxfords, $2.50 Harrisburg Oxfords, Children's White Oxfords,.. ... 10c Ginghams, Lawns, etc., ... 15c Girfghams, Voiles and Suitir . 25c Ratine and Suiting, I Ladies', Children's and Men's 1 Lots of bargains in every Goods must go while it is Sumn Come early and get yourshar L.
