Next Tuesday will be a day fraught with great import for the town of Fort Mill. It is on that day that the voters are to say whether the town shall move \ forward or stand still in the way of improvements for the next two years, at least. V\ e believe that if the citizens on next Tues day cast their ballots for and elect a progressive set of town officials Fort Mill will under the coming administration experience unprecedented growth. The town, as we see if, at present faces a crisis. A bond issue for waterworks is pending, the proposition is being agitated to buy the Nivens property at the head of Main street and extend the street several blocks, the business men are working for the location of another cotton mill or other manufacturing enterprise, any many residents are anxious to see additional paving laid on the town's streets during the year. All of these matters should be considered by the voters in casting their ballots next Tuesday. The town needs a progressive set of men to manage its affairs, and the only issue in the election is whether the voters shall recqrd themseive as in favor of the town's prog. ress. The Times has no word of commendation for or criticism against any of the several candidates in the race-they are all well known. Toe voters know each of the men asking for election and it is the hope ot The Times that such men will be elevated to office as will labor unceasingly during 1914-1915 for any and every movement that will push the town forward. There is no charitable organization in the town of Fort Mill, which is doing more prai.e worthy service and which deserves the support of the public generally more than the Brraca Class of the local Baptist church. The purpose of the class is not only to aid in. the moral uplift of the people of the community, but to otfer aid It the needy, and several timet recently food, clothing and fuel have been otfered the destitute. Whether one is a member of the Baptist church or the Baracu class, he should lend a helping hand in the work which the class is engaged in doing Tvrskl* aIjI Paitam II?

One waa that of a man who had nol been immunized with the typhoic - vaccine and was believed to havt contracted the fever before h< enlisted; the other case wa.< among the troops in China anc though the man was immunize* in 1911, the history; of the caseii in doubt. The navy, which adopted th< vaccine later than the army anc did not make its use at once com Jx'lsory, had among its 80,001 ackies only seven authenti< cases of typhoid in the year end ing last June. Four of tho? were treated at a remote tropica station, where the vaccine hai deteriorated. Such is the wonderful reeori of the pnophylatic treatmen which has wiped out on scourge among the nation's ae fenders and which many medics officers believe has had some thing to dp with decreasinj Winter Wont Be Nild. There will be no lack<o?%ttiter weather anywhere ifi 'tW United States, if gevtfrome'nt weather , bureau experts read the signs { aright. Inquiries at the bureau as to the .prospects of a mild winter were met with the statement that storms merely were slightly delayed but that nothing , had come under the department's j observation to indicate less than ( the usual rain or snowfall.
