'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

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

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

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

ffice of public highways says:
"Too much stress cannot be

naintenance in connection with
he work of improving the roads,
"he people in nearly all the
Itntes are filled with enthusiasm

pending enormous sums of

without exception they are makng
little provision to care for

arious counties, but under many
