No. 112. Entered at the postofhee at Fort Mill. S. C.. as mail matter of the second class. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 16. 1913. Just ten years ago the manufacture of a popular priced automobile wan begun in the city of Detroit and at a recent birthday party of the corporation a cash dividend of $10,000,000 was declared on the capital stock of $2,000,000, The peoplo who were fortunate cnuugn 10 oegin with the company have enjoyed profits that make the gains of railroads and public service promoters look like genteel poverty. It is not likely that this dividend represented the surplus of the company by any means for it is now doubling the size of its factory for the purpose of putting out 350,000 cars next year. In case the demand slackens it will be possible for the concern to stimulate sales by still further reducing the price. A net profit of only $10 a car would yield profits of $3 500,000 a year, or more than 150 per cent. Some money has been lost in the automobile business, but a whole flock of new millionaires have been created by the development of the industry in this country. In order to give the farmer immediate news of detailed crop conditions in his own State as reported by the government, the Department of agriculture, about the middle of September began a new system of circulating crop information by telegraph. The government crop news for each State is telegraphed to a central point, and from there the information is quickly reproduced and mailed to all the newspapers in the State. In this way every paper, even in the most distant localities, is in possession of this information within from twelve to eighteen hours after it is issued. As far as possible the information is sent out so an to reach the small weeklies in time for their Thursday and Friduy editions. As The Times sees it, the people of Fort Mill will certainly make a big mistake if they do nut vote u bona loaiK. *1- - .o?uc iui 11 ic installation ol u waterworks system for thu town. A system for the protection of property lroni fire is the town's grcutest need and a need which must be supplied sooner or later. A local manufacturing concern has ofTereu to furnish water for the system without charge and if our people do not accept such a liberal offer as this, then we are abso.utcl> at sea as to know what kind of offer would be necessary to uiuuce them to install the system. A dispatch from bt. Louis. Mo., tc the dany press says that a chicken trespasses ut its own )>erii. If it Btumbles onto a piece of bread plastered w ith rut poison and its cureer conies to an end, that is the chicken's own business. The plasterer of the bread cannot be held to have violated the law, even if the bread was placed on one's lawn near tne lavorite | scratching ground of one's neighbor's chickens. bo advised Thomas Stanton, assistant prosecuting attorney in the dispute between William L. Kiuesner, a cnicken lancier, who Complained j that Mrs. Mary i'arrolt admitted all . the above, but she claimed she was within her rights aud the judge sustained her. ! , 1 The boy who has the freedom of the streets after nightfall, without business or permission, is cultivating a very dangerous habit. Any place where a boy has no business is a very dangerouH place for him whether it is on the street, in the store or else where. A boy that in alright likes his home, friends, books or newspaper in prererence to the class lound on ihe streets, without business. business men of all kinds look U|>on the boy loafer as a dead beat of the future. The Newberry Observer thinks Gov. Blease is not consistent. And the Anderson Mail adds that while the governor won't appoint a man on the board of control in a dispensary county unless he voted for the dispensary, still he djesn't insist on appointing prohibitionists constables in dry counties. That is a sockdolager, if we know what one is. We opine that everything is well with one Harry K. , I I* s "We can make a guess as to how it is going to turn out in the case of Harry Thaw.
