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.

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."
