THURSDAY. JANUARY 15. 1914.
Greetings to Council.
Congratulations to you, Mayor
McElhaney and the newly elected
city council. Mnv "?
ministration be pleasant and may
you accomplish much for the
good of Fort Mill. You have
a great work before you and we
trust that each member of your
honorable body will feel it a
personal duty and responsibility
to put forth every effort for the
upbuilding and betterment of
the town.
Now gentlemen, establish a
reputation for doing things.
Enforce the laws, regardless
of whom it may affect..
Repeal the iniquitous "piivilege
tax" law.
Increase the salary of the chief
police officer to a figure which
will insure "the retention of a
good man for the place.
Raise the city tax levy to a
figure which will bring into the
town's coffers a sufficient amount
of funds to run the town and t
make permanent improvements.
Make the levy five, eight or ten
mills, if necessary.
Buy the Nivens property at th<
head of Main street and open ui
a new residence section, as wel
as providing a building lot f->
the town if in the future thmunicipality
should need one.
An extra levy of a few n ills
wonld pay for this property
in one year and nobody would
be hurt.
Allow a small compensation
(if legal) for the attendance of
councilmen upon the meetings of
the body, with a limit as to the
number of meetings to kTe held
within the year.
Repeal the "dog tax" lawraise
the small amount realized
thereby by direct taxation.
Resolve to allow no carnivals
or other shows which hav<
"accessions"?gambling devices
?to operate in the town during
your administration.
Push the proposition for a
local waterworks system and relieve
the people of the exhorbitant
insurance rates which they
have to pay at present.
Use your best judgement (Nve'vi
had our say) as to the Sunday
sale of articles other than drugs
and medicines.
Reduce the street tax to two
dollars?make up the deficit by
taxation of property. *
Continue the street paving,
requiring property-owners to pay
one-half the cost, as heretofore.
Instruct your police officer tc
arrest persons who make1 s
hitching post of the telephone
poles along Main street.
Provide a hitching lot for peo
pie who come in from the coun
try. (The Nivens lot wil
f answer this purpose.)
Widen Confederate street fron
Main street through to the iiap
tist church property.
Fix a maximum fine for th<
sale of intoxicants or "dope" ant
make no exceptions.
Arrange to have the town'i
Main street lighted the entin
night and place lights in the lot
to the rear of the businesj
houses, burning the lights th<
entire night, as a protectioi
against burglars.
And last, but not least. realiz<
that in The Times you have ai
institution that is eager at al
times to assist you in any pos
sible way to advance and carrj
through any plan where th<
town's welfare may be benefitted

The world moves. Time flies.
Men change. Commerce develops.
The opportunities of
, today are greater than those of
yesterday. These are some of
. the forces that compose universal
progress.
To succeed, you must move.
You must keep on going, if you
are filled with the ambition to

means to pro backward, There
i is no future in the past.
1 Today is dedicated to you. To,
day you have the opportunity to
i keep on going. You even have
the chance to speid up and forge
ahead, leading the others. You
can't expect to advance if you
loiter or stop r n the way to rest.
There is nor^ed of looking backward.
Cast yo ir eyes to the future.
Elbow y ,ur way along through
the err wd. Be one of the pace

it is folly to depend on past
performances. While you are
thinking about some success in
the past, a more eager man will
come along and soon get ahead
of you.
You must climb or be climbed
over. You must move with the
world or you'll get stepped on.
The world can give you its
solid earth and its thousands of
opportunities and privileges of
growth?as a foundation. But
vou must be a builder. You
must keep in motion. The force
that drove you yesterday gave
^*ou the momentum thnt you
>*tart cut with today. You must
continue to supply the fuel. You
can't go verv far with merely
the momentum of yesterday.
If you fail to Veep up your
oace?if you fail to Veep on
moving ? if you lap behind ?you
\re hurting yourself. mayVe

T. Hill. A storekeeper in Nov
York broke away from precedent
ind became the preat merchant
?A. T. Stewart.
Don't make the race entirely
physical. Use your head. Discover
your best pace and develop
:t carefully. Keep advancinp
i laily. Increase your strength.
Think!
Discard all impediments. Let
i nothing stop you from going
I ahead. Forget yesterday's victories
by setting new standards
for today.
That which applies to you applies
to your town. We must
xet. ahead as a community as
won as individuals. Let us he
builders. Let us make this town
'<eep up with the progress of
other towns, and, if possible,
move a little faster ahead. Lot
:is work not only for our individual
selves, but for the town
in which we live. The opportunity
of both the town and ourselves
is today. Today's opoortunity
is always the best
tpportunity, since it is the one
that can be immediately seized.
, Do not wait for the future to
make this a Rood town or to
make you something that you
want to be. Rather lay hold of
the present and make the future
secure.
