THURSDAY. OCTOBER 9. 1913.
The Auto Speed Idiot.
Recently a young man, who had
nearly killed himself and half a dozen
other people while auto speeding, was
brought before a Cincinnati police |
judge to answer to the charge of violating
the law. This is what the
judge said to him:
"Young man. stand up! You belong
to a class of voung maniacs who
act as if you didn^t have as much common
sense in your head as an ordinary
horse. Who gave you the right to
go tearing along the streets at the
speed of a railroad car? Who gave
you the right co use our streets in
such a manner as to constantly endanger
people's live*? Who set you
down in this community as a complete
example of a man driving a dangerous
machine without any brains, care or
pYudence? You are a shame to the
town, to the decent father and mother
who begot you. We can have sympathy
for a natural born idiot, but we
fail utterly when we look upon a man
who has deliberately made himself
such with an automobile. I will put
you where you will not endanger any
more lives for the next three months
and assess you the costs of this action."
such an admonition and sentence
would do good in many towns. There
are men in every city and town who
are just as culpable as the Cincinnati
youth, and dozens of them need the
same penalty every day. On some of
the best paved streets and avenues it
is critically dangerous for pedestrians
to attempt to cross. The only remedy
seems to be the kind handed out by
the Ohio judge. The good hard fact
is, something must be done with the
speeders er many lives will be sacrificed
to gratify the desires of a class
of people who have no respect for law
or the right of others.
The time is near at har.d it seems
when the people of Fort Mill will be
called upon to decide by ballot whether
the town is to have protection from
fire by installing a waterwi rks system.
The town has needed this protection
for a number of years and with the
increase in the number of business
houses and residences erected during
the last few years the need is greater
today than ever before. Then, too.
very large majority of our townspeople
would be greatly pleaded to see new
industries spring up in our midst and
have the town of Fort Mill progress
along with the other towns of the
State. But we need not expect much
money to be invested here as long as
the town is liable to be wnped off the
map by fire. The average man of
wealth is not willing to invest in an
enterprise where he is liable to awake
in the morning to find his investment
reduced to ashes. The cost of a waterworks
system in Fort Mill would be so
small to the average property owner
that it is a shame to estimate the
amount. Fort Mill has been very
fortunate in the past in the way of
fires, it is true, but this cannot be
taken as a promise that the future will
treat us as kindly. If the present
agitation should come to a vote of
the people we believe that the voters
will realize the need of this improvement
and will endorse the bond issue.
The news item carried in this week's
issue of The Tirr.es teUir.g of the big*
cotton mill to be erected in Fort Mill
by the Fort Mill Manufacturing company
is the most pleasing announcement
to the publisher of this newspaper
that has been made in these columns
in quite a tune. The erection of
the new mill will, we believe, mark the
beginning of an era of unprecedented
prosperity for the town. Aside from
the resultant increase of property vaU
ues. the new mill will mean the bringing
h^re of several hundred new residents,
a much larger volume of business
in all lines, and to the farmers
roundabout a better market and more
ready sale for their products. Col.
Lert.y Spr.ngs. president of the com
par.y wr.icn will buiid the mill, ?s a
native of Fort Mill, and our idea that
he has had an eye on the town of his
birth and soon would increase his already
extensive interests here is to
become a reality, it seems.
All roads will lead to Rock Hill next
Thursday and Friday and all Rock Hill
will lead to the county fair.
The Underwood-Simmon^ tariff bill,
which had been before the national
Congress since early in April and w|iich
became a law Friday night when President
Wilson attached his signature
to the bill, is one of the most important
pieces of legislation enacted
during the last half century. The
passage of the law is in part the fulfillment
of the Democratic platform as
expressed in the Baltimore convention
and it will go a long way in reducing
me cost of the necessities of life which
of late years have become such a burden
to the millions of working men
and women of the country. The Times
is this week publishing on page 3 a
synopsis of the law and every reader
of the paper should read the article.
The Orangeburg Times and Democrat
wishes to know what kind of consoling
word we handed the man who
sold his cotton at 11 cents in order that
it may impart such consolation to
some people in its vicinity. Told 'em
we'd wait till they dug 'taters for our
year's subscription, brother.
Joe Jackson says the "Athletics''
will win the world's championship and
Ty Cobb says he doesn't know who'll
win. Cobb evidently has more regard
for the truth than the Greenville boy.
