Entered at the poetoflflco at Fort Mill. S. C.. n* mall matter of the second etas*. 1? . . _ .J? THURSDAY. OCTOBER 2. 1913. Credit Where Credit is Due. The Charlotte Observer of Tuesday morning handed a big bouquet to the detective force of its city for the capture of a "boss cocaine-seller of Charlotte," when, as a matter of fact, the bouquet rightfully belonged to the police of Fort Mill, without whose assistance the "boss cocaine-seller" in all probability would have continued for a time to furnish the "sniff goods to dealers in Fort Mill and other towns adjacent to Charlotte. The capture of the Charlotte wholesaler of cocaine was effected in this manner: Abe Horn, a negro, returned to Fort Mill Saturday afternoon from Chnrlotte with a goodly supply of the drug and was nabbed by Policeman Coltharp. When questioned as to his source of supply Horn readily informed the officer that the atuff had been bought from a negro veterinary of Charlotte, whose name Horn also gave. A fine of $50 was imposed upon Horn, but this was reduced upon condition that the negro would act a* "decov" between the officers and th< Charlotte dealer. This Horn agreed tc do and he was accompanied to Charlotte by Chief Colthurp Monday afternoon. The plnn which the Fort Mill officer had laid out to capture th? cocaine dealer was explained to th< Charlotte "detectives," the trap set, and the "boss cocaine-seller" without hesitation walked into the trap. Yes, it was easy for the Charlotte "detectives" to "Let's get 'um," at The Observer said, after the Fort Mil officer had mapped out the plan un<! furnished the go-between. The Fall Trade. With the beginning of the fall trad* peeping out, our business men should sit up and take notice. There is nc use expecting the residents of this section to go around with a microscope trying to find out whether this or that is sold in our town. The only plan that will work is to keep everlastingly telling them what you havi on hand. That is the way the up-todate merchants get their trade. The.t iB no reason why the people of th s vicinity should be expected to adoj t any different method in regard c trading than at other places. Tell them what you have; let them know whHt it costs, show them you cun save them time and money by buying from you, and then they will come to your st? r and not carry home mail order catalogs, There are hundreds yes thousands?of people within a short distance of town who scarcely suspect what there is for sale in your store. L-1 them know where you are. Invite them to your store. Tell them about your bargains. Show them that you want their trade just as much as it is wanted by out-of-town merchants and a little more, by the way?and they will begin coming to you. But if you it and expect them to hunt you up, you are going to be very sadly disappointed. It costs more to keep goods a year before selling them and they get shop worn and out ol style. You can't get business without nsking for it and the best way to ask is by attractive advertising. The TimeH welcomes the York News to its list of county exchanges. The News made its appearance Thursday and henceforth will appear twice a week. The paper is a seven-column eight page sheet, is well printed and carries u substantial amount of well displayed advertising. We trust that the publisher, Mr. W. A. Fair, will find the publication of his paper both pleasant and profitable. A citizen of Fort Mill says the Rock Hill business men are an easy lot; that Rock Hill and Yorkville fought over the court house, ami that now, when Yorkville needs some money to launch a newspaper and app* als to Rock Hill for aid, the Rockhillians fall to in grand style. Nope, we didn't sell any fall delivery cotton at 11 cents, but have found it convenient several timeii recently to hand out a consoling word to the fellow who did. York, with six good newspapers, is getting to be some county. Misquoted the Governor. The Times has received from John K. Aull, secretary to Governor Blease the following note, which is self explanatory: Columbia, Sept. 26. "Editor Fort Mill Times, "Fort Mili, S. C. "1 desire to call your attention to an i error in the news columns of your issue of September 25, in the article headed, 'Will Defeat Ed Smith By 20,000, Says Blease.' Your article states that Governor Blease said 'the appointment of F. H. Weston of Richland as district attorney was to show indirectly that the administration would favor the j reflection of Senator Smith, who goes before the voters of South Carolina in I the nrimarv ne*t Ancrint 9 Aa moffor ! of fact, this statement was not made by the Governor, but was contained in the news dispatches from Washington, 1 published in the morning dailies of Sunduy morning, and in his interview the Governor was commenting upon . this statement, saying that it was . proof of the charge which he had made that the administration was seeking to hurt him politically, but that the people of South Carolina had never stood for and would never stand for dictation from a Federal administration, or anybody else, as to whom they should elect to office. "Jno. K. Aull, Secretary." I The Times regrets that the Governor was incorrectly quoted, and that no ; wrong impressions may be created by the former quotation, it is with pleasure this paper prints the abrve note front Mr. Aull.
