No. 112. Entered at the postofflre at Fort Mill. S. C.. as mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY. AUGUST 7. 1913. There seems to be no further room for doubt about the candidacy of State Senator John L. McLaurin for the Democratic nomination for Governor next year. Senator McLaurin attended the Filbert picnic last Friday and when the candidates for Governor were asked to speak he marched right up to the front and relieved himself of a bunch of bunkerino. Senator McLaurin seems to have listened to and been influenced in making the race for office by the complimentary things which have been said about him by one or two half-baked Democratic newspapers published in the State. He will learn before the campaign has progressed very far that he has no earthly show of winning the nomination. He is a man of some ability, but his ability is of the kind the. people will not prefer. He has a record, too. When a newspaper gives you - _i? i* i ? a lot 01 iree advertising in order to boom some concert or church entertainment which you are interested in, keep track of the number of lines that are printed week by week, and multiply that number by the regular advertising rates of the paper. Compare the results with the actual money value of any favor that you can get from any other business concern. Then take into consideration the fact that advertising and circulation are the only two things that a newspaper has to sell, and in these days of higher prices, how much do you think they ought to giveaway for nothing? The Times has 110 objection to the young people of Fort Mill making nightly straw-ride trips, if they choose, to Catawba river. Certainly if the parents sanction this brand of pleasure for their 1 J 1 A A 1 sons unu aaugniers, mis paper has no kick coming. What we do object to, however, is the wild-Indian manner in which these youngsters return to town along about the midnight hour, or later. There are a lot of people in this town who retire at a respectable hour, and to be awakened from their slumbers by a lot of guffaw and would-be singing is extremely annoying, to say the least. Figures in the abstract don't have much meaning; hence the government announcement that in twenty-four years 188,037 persons have been killed and 1,395,618 persons injured on the railroads of the United States really conveys to us only a vague impression of carelessness and sacrifice. Pull together, brethren. We are all here for the same purpose. Then live and let live. The best way to build up a town is for each and every man to pull together and not to rend and pull down. All the residents of a town are partners, not opponents. In all likelihood, the more business done by your rival the more you will do. As we grow older we can't see why pushing the lawn mower is not just as good exercise for a young boy or girl as dancing the turkey-trot to ragtime music. iimikV :;,:v J :^ ' v I . X*. ' .V Short Items of Local Interest. Quite a pleasing sight Monday morning was the march through Main street of the local troop of Boy Scouts in full regulation uniform and ready for the trip to King's Mountain and Saluda, N. C. There were 26 of the Scouts in line, following twp big covered wagons which will carry the young men and their camp outfit to the mountains. The trip was made by way of Yorkville where, upon invitation of Major VV. B. Morre, it was expected the Scouts would spend J Monday night. The popularity contest at McElhaney's came to a close Friday morning at 10 o'clock and Miss Joyce Moser, daughter of Mr. T. G- Moser, was declared winner of the first prize, a handsome Claxton piano. Miss Moser received a total of 51,531,755 votes. Other prize winners and the number of votes they received were: Miss Sarah Culp, 45,607,755 votes, prize gold watch; Miss Myrtle Smith, 37,654,873 votes, prize gold watch; Miss Bessie Armstrong. 25,416,642 votes, prize, toilet set. Richard A. Fulp, a young man of this city, narrowly escaped being a passenger on the Lancaster and Chester train which late Wednesday last went through a trestle 7 miles east of Chester killing three people and wounding more than two score of others. Mr. Fulp had spent the day in Lancaster and had gone to the station and placed his grips on the train, when a friend called to him and he left the train and entered the waiting room. While conversing with his friend the train pulled out and thereby Mr. Fulp missed a trip which might have meant for him serious injury and possibly death. The grips on the illfated train were recovered the following morning. Matthews Defeats Fort Mill. In a slow and uninteresting game of ballon the local diamond Monday afternoon, the Matthews, N. C., team defeated the local team by a score of 13 to 9. Features of the game were conspicuous for their absence. The batteries were, Matthews, Roan and Elms; Fort Mill, Bradford and Ferguson. Umpire, Fulp. Horse Trade Decision. "When the l'act of unsoundness is certain and the party making a statement in regard to it has knowledge of such fact and nevertheless makes false representation with intent to cheat and defraud, it would be against public policy to allow him to escape punishment under criminal law," says the State supreme court in a recent decis ion anirming tne verdict of the Laurens county court in the case of the State against Frank Stone, who was tried and convicted ol obtaining goods under false pretenses. The indictment charged iiim with falsely pretending that a certain bay horse was sound in every respect, "which pretense he then and there knew to be false, whereby he obtained from Lander H. Willis one roan horse, the property of the said Lander H. Willis, of the value of $150, with intent to defraud and cheat the said Lander H. Willis." !

Monday morning at 2 o'clock Miss Lula Parish of Rock Hill, who had been ill for the past two years, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Samuel Williford, south of that city.
