THURSDAY. DECEMBER 11. 1913.
A communication reaches The
Times this week from Charlotte
and, as the writer failed to give
his or her name, we cannot publish
same. The Times does not
publish anonymous communications.
Notwithstanding the suggestion
of the Lancaster News that
The Times act as arbiter between
the Rock Hill Herald and the
Rock Hill Record to compose
their latest differences, The
Times ain't er gvvine to accept
the office; but if we may be permitted
an observation in this
connection it is that The Herald
gave The Record n dressing
down which should hold The
Record for a while.
Conditions at the York county
home may not be such as to meet
with the commendation of the
public generally, but it would
seem that if there are conditions
to be reformed these who feel it
incumbent upon themselves to
undertake the work through the
newspapers ought to be considerate
enough to put their
views into newspapers which are
seen and taken seriously by the
public.
If an advertisement which appeared
in a Charlotte paper a few
days ago, asking for information
from towns in which a cotton
mill could be ndvantngeousl.\
located, was inserted in good
faith, it would seem that the
business interests of F?>rt Mill
might do something light here
to promote the growth of the
town. Fori Mill has indueements
to otter such nr. enterprise and
it would not be amiss to investigate
this proposition.
Our opinion is that the court
house commission has done just
liVUPtlu if /l/\r?n
VAIIVVI t IKIV 1*. U llli t C VIV'IIV
in selecting the sit e of the old
court house for the new building,
and we think if the matter were
thoroughly investigated it would
be found that in every instance
those who hove held out for a
new site for the building have
been prompted more or less by
some monetary gain which would
have been theirs had the building
been put elsewhere. We
have no doubt that a big majority
of the people indorse the
action of the board and we hope
the matter will not be reopened.
Aside from the fact that the
accident cost a human life, the
most deplorable thing in connection
with the killing at tin
Elks' club in Columbia Saturday
night of the negro by Attorney
General Peoples is the humiliating
thought that the head ol
the State's legal department
should so far forget what is ex
pected of him as to be fount
packing a pistol about town. Th<
fact that the killing of the negr
was accidental will not salve th
feeling the public entertains ove
the matter?that Mr. Peeples ha<
no reason for tarrying a piste
on his person. The statemen
that Mr. Peoples had carried th
Distol to the club to show it tn
friend hardly makes the acciden
less deplorable; such interest i
an engine of human destructio
might be partially excusable in
boy, but hardly in the attorne
general of the Slate.
There probably is not a tow
of equal size in the United State
that has as poor mail facilitu
as Fort Mill has been forced t

content itself with for the last
year or more. During the week
the service does fairly well with
two mails north and one mail
south each day, hut Sundays the

modes the people of the town
and surrounding- country. For
instance: If a Fort Mill citizen
desires to communicate with a
Party at Rock Hill or other points
south and posts his letter after
6:15 p. rn. Saturday, his letter
cannot possibly reach its destination
before 6 a. m. the following
Monday? a loss in transit of exactly
36 hours. Fort Mill gets
one mail from the North Sunday
morning, but the mail arrives in
a lock pouch thrown from the
baggage car, and no mail is
taken up her by this train. Our
people have endured this condition
for a longtime in the hope
that an improvement would be
made in the service, but there
now appears nothing further on
which to base such a hope, and
a number of citizens have asked
The Times to submit an appeal
for relief. W e scarcely know ;
who to address relative to the
matter, but will say to Congressman
Finlev that if he will take
steps that will secure better
Sunday mail facilities for this
section he will have the everlasting
thanks of the people of
Fort Mill and surrounding connf
Rmnrr q f ho
postoffice committee of the house,
it would seem that Mr. Finlev
would not find it a difficult matter
to see to it that present conditions
do not continue much
longer.
