THE FORT HILL TIMES. Democratic ? Published Thursday*. B. W. BRADFORD - - Editor and Proprietor. auw onen one sees a man pet out and look all over town for . his cow, hog or dog if it happens to be away in the evening, when the same man will allow his son or daughter to stay out until the wee hours of the night without once inquiring where he or she is, or care what kind of company they may be in. And still you wonder at the increase in ciime. Keeping the boy or girl out of school to help do the work at , home is a very foolish idea that some parents are practicing. There may be cases where then are good reasons why a girl o> boy cannot finish the eighth o ninth crrort.jo hnf ?u.v - v.. ^ ?o, uui UIC urt few ami the probability is thai many who are taken out of ou schools for such a reason couh continue through the highe grades were the proper effort, put forth by their parents. "The annual Thanksgivi g dance held in Fort Mill las night was a most enjoyable a I fair and largely attended. John son's orchestra of this city, for nished music which wis an i.. spiration."?Rock Hill Herald. Friday. Inspiration, ind e ! From parties who attended tin dance it is learned that tin I * muse, instead of inspiring, wa> ; wholly disgusting, and unfit f< r the ordinary country eornshucking. Fact is, the music was s< very poor that the management of the dance had up to Saturday refused pay the musicians for their services. The country "hayseed" is a favorite joke for some of the city papers and tne impecunious space writers of the dailies love to portray the tiller of the soil as a man who never saw much and knows less. Were it not for the farmer, the receipts of the county fair would be mighty slim, and he does not make a holy show of himself, either, as the writers try to make it appear. The pale cadavers who write the % narmiess, soulless lies such as the above to please simple folks like themselves could not pet a living on a quarter section of the best land in the country if it were donated to them with improvements. stock and tools. So limited is their reading and their powers of observation that they have not learned that the American farm produces the best ail around man in the world. omcriftion Rates: One Yeer $1.25 Six Months ... ... .66 The Times Invites contributions on live subjects bat does not agree to publish more then 200 words n sny subject.

DECEMBER 4. 1913. j ____________ It seems a trifle early to hanp out the "shop early" sipn, but the early shopper pets the most satisfactory results as a rule. 1 The time between now and ijhristmas is none too early to permit the prudent ones to delay in giving the gift subject some consideration. The Times would like to know ; of the Yorkville Enquirer or York News, both of which were on the spot, why it was that Judge Prince last week, in sentencing the convicted ones, almost invariably suspended the work period of the sentences during the good behavior of the , convicted. ti ? ? / Marriage Announcements Received. Cards, of the latest Tiffany design, reading as follows were received in Fort Mill Monday: "Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Meriwether Jones have the honor of announcing to (individual name inserted here) the marriage of their daughter Lena Jones Wade to Mr. Leroy Springs on Saturday, the twenty-ninth of November. one thousand, nine hundred and thirteen, at Pulaski, Tennessee. '' Accompanying these were cards which read: "Will !>e at home after the fifteenth of December, Lancaster, S. C." HORSE 18 FA8TE8T ANIMAU No animal is known to have exceeded the speed attained by the horse. Instantaneous photogrnphs of one famous specimen showed the full length of one complete stride of about 26 feet. In the stride of the fastest rucers the hind quarters and limbs are raised considerably higher than the shoulders, and from this relatively great height ure brought downward and forward, widely separated from each other, to avoid striking the forelegs. The hare has not in reality the speed of the dog. The dog on the other hand does not attain the speed of the horse. The giraffe is said to run at the rate of 15 yards a second under the most favorable conditions. The elephant, going at the rate of two yards a second, carries a weight approximating that carried by six horses. 80ME PHILOSOPHER. Two small boys spent some time watching the ice plant of a local packing institution. "It's great to make ice like that just as fast as you want it, isn't it, Jimmie?" said one of the youngsters. "Yes." replied Jimmie, "but it would be greater if we could make our coal the same way."?Youngstown Telegram. VftTFC C r%0 VAinucai At a card party held in this city last week some of the women were discussing woman suffrage, relates the Washington Star. One of the players said she always attended suffrage meetings and had even marched in one of the parades. "(loudness!" exclaimed her partner. "I didn't know von went in for that sort of thing. l>o you know all about politics?" "No." replied the suffragist, "I don't know a thing ahout it." "Well, why do you do it ?" "Because it teases my husband so." PREVAILING DISTINCTIONS. "Mow will I a set rtain the precise title by which an eminent official should he address* 1?" "I don't know," replied the man whose methods ore hurried. "These days you are pret y safe if you go ahead and call a man 'professor.'" HE OPENED HER UP.
