THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 25. 1913. ,
The correct pronunciation of Huerta 1
is "Wherta" but a great many people '
in this country are inclined to call him ;
something a good deal worse.
In the live stock department of the !
York County Fair, October 16-17, citi- j
Zens of Fort Mill and the township |
promise to make the people from other
parts of the county sit up and take
notice.
Mr. Merchant: Make your store as
pood as your ads?and make your ads a
little better than others that appear in
this paper! That's "hitching your
wagon to a star," perhaps?but it's an
attainable star!
The time for the York County Fair
is rolling around, and already the
grounds are being put in shape. The
committee in charge is sparing no expense
nor losing any time to make the
exhibition a success and credit to the
county. Parties having articles for exhibit
should write to the secretary of
the York Fair Association, Rock Hill,
for information as to placing thiir exhibits.
The Times is pleased to see that
Editor J. L. Sims of the Orangeburg
Times and Democrat, has landed the
Federal position of marshal for the
district of South Carolina. There has
been much speculation of late as to
who wouid pet the place. Mr. Sims is
one of the best known and most able
newspaper men of the State, h loyal
Democrat and several ti nes has represented
Orangeburg county in the State
conventions. He had strong opposition
for the place to which he has been
appointed, and his many friends
throughout the State, an i especially
the newspaper fraternity, rejoice to
)^noW th*t he has won o.;t. '
*It is to be hoped that the suggestion
of Heveral business men a few days
ago that Fort Mill offer $3,00(), or $f>,000
if neceseary, for the location of an
other cotton mill in the town will
amount to more than mere talk. Such ;
an indiiCi n.i ht would, considering other j
advantages here, doubtless land such
an industry. As a further inducement, |
The Times feels safe in saying that
city council w. uld readily agree to toe
empt the new mill lYortt taxation fbr a
period of five or ten yeaVa. The business
men of the town can well afford
to contribute to the project, which, if
Buccesbful, would mean more for the
upbuilding of Fort Mill and the consequent
increase in the volume of business
done here than anything we know
of.
The Tin.es believes that ft can. see an
awakening of pride and interest
among thrt titizr ns of Fort Mill.
One thirrfg Th. certfcin, our business mon
reatire that something must be done -to
^ush the tewII fcrwr.rU. Fact is, "the
mercantile establish.rents are enlarging
anU growing more numerous each year
while the population of the territory
from which these stevr draw trade it
not increasing to any appreciable degree.
And here is where the towr
needs a live organization of busines;
men a commercial club <-r chamber ol
commerce? to let the outside work
know that Fort Mill is on the map
that we have here a town which foi
healthful'iess, morality, educational fn
cilities, etc., is not surpassed by anj
of the small towns of the Sttte. Wit!
a good, live commercial club proclaiming
these facts, we believe that Fort
Mill would bloom out like a rose. A
little advertising properly placed would
result in big things for the town.
John L. McLaurin's much-heralded
statement, published in yesterday's
Coiumbia Record, will in our humble
opinion do little in the way of aiding
his candidacy for the governorship.
A few bouquets thrown at himself
and his oratorical ability, followed
bv fl rather unrHiH utnru nf n nrniuntoH
railroad deal in which he expected to
make millions, awaking to find that he
had been only a tool in the hands of
more brainy and powerful men who
tossed him contemptuously aside when
he could no longer be of service to
them. All in all a document which
gives too much the impression of an
attempt to muddy the water in discussing
the charges freely made
against him some years ago, charges
which, if met at all, should have been
met more boldly. South Carolina
voters demand the appearance, at
least, of frank and fearless honesty
of purpose, and would have been better
pleased with a more emphatic
denial.?Chester Lantern.
Nobody can accuse Governor Blease
of being a poor politician and-unable to
make the most of the mistakes of his
opponents. Already he has opened on
Senator Smith, against whom he is a
candidate for the seat now held in the
United States Senate hy the former,
for the appointment of F. H. Weston
as district attorney for South Carolina.

Weston had the enthusiastic endorsement
of Senator Smith and has just
won out over Mr. Thurmond, who had
the BUpport of Senator Tillman. Just
why Senator Smith was so bent upon
securing the place for Mr. Weston is
beyond the understanding of not a few
people. For several years Mr. Weston i
has represented Richland county in the
St\te Senate. He is pretty well known
to those who keep in touch with legislative
affairs. If he has done anything
to warrant his selection for the district
attorneyship we do not know what it
is. On the contrary, we are convinced
that Senator Smith could not have had
appointed a more unpopular man for
the place had he raked the State with
a fine-tooth comb. Governor Blease
knows this and he is apt to turn the
appointment to his own account to the
extent of n good many votes.
