Lot Every Citizen Attend.
It is to be hoped that every
citizen of Fort Mill will attend
the meeting to be held in the
wjwn nan next Monday night to
discuss the proposed bond issue
for a waterworks system for the
town. The matter of protection
from fire is one that should be of
serious concern to every property
1^. owner of Fort Mill. Without
W this protection our taxpayers are
J each year paying the maximum
' rate for insurance, and each year
the rate increases as the town
builds and the houses become |
more congested. It may not be
generally known, but it is a fact !
nevertheless, at least one tax- ,
payer of the town is paying the (
very high rate of $2.80 per $100
for insurance carried. But,
feside from the protection given ,
even at the high rate of insurance, ,
there probably is not a person in
the town who has his home or (
business insured for more than (
two-thirds its real value and who
would not suffer loan in case his
property were sweDt awav hv

fire. Fact is, the insurance rates
in some instances are so high in
Fort Mill that the people are ,
unable to carry it in amounts '{
which would anything like com- (
pensate them for their losses if (
burned out. A waterworks system
would reduce the rates to (
such an extent na to enable
people in the congested district
to carry additional insurance and
in the residence sections it would
offer almost absolute protection
to the owners of homes adjoining
that in which the fire originated.
The waterworks proposition has
been hanging fire in Fort Mill
for quite a number of years and
it is to be hoped that the present
agitation for the system will result
in its early settlement. No
matter whether you favor 01
oppose the system, attend the
meeting next Monday night and
let the people know \\h?t you
think about it.
Why Not?
Today's issue of the Fort Mill
Times carries a greeting to the
newls elected mayor and town
council, and then prints a list oi.
eighteen suggestions for official
activity on their part, most of
which inrlicntp nlnco AlxaoHuofiAn

and a comforting degree of good
common sense. We cannot
agree with our Fort Mill brother,
however, in advocating a small
compensation" to council men for
attendance upon meetings and
the placing of a limit upon the
number of meetings to be held.?
York News, Thursday.
I ^ I, ....?I.,
The taxpayers of South Carolina
are this year asked to pay j
$192,846.08 for the maintenance
of Winthrop College and $183,582.19
for the maintenance of
the University, These figures
show an increase of about $50,000
for each college as compared
with the amounts allowed in the
year 1913. And still the man of
ordinary means is unable to bear
the expense of sending his son
or daughter to these "State
supported" schools.

That young man who thinks
he is poor because he has no
bank account, little understands
the value of God's free gift of
health and strength; little appreciates
the fact that the
brightest and best of the country
are self-made, and come to the
;-* notice of the world from just
^^^^^v^hfce^innings,

The General Assembly of South
Carolina is to be congratulated
for the wise judgment it displayed
in promoting Circuit
Judge Geo. W. Gage, of Chester,
to th*e Supreme Court bench.
Judge Gage is one of the State's
most able jurists; a man of
sterling character, and his elevation
to the State's highest tribunal
is an expression of the
sentiments of the people of South
Carolina of his entire fitness for
the place.
The only men of worth to a
town or community are those who
forget their own selfish ends
long enough and are liberal
enough in their ideas to encourage
every public and private
enterprise, who are ready
with brain and purse to push
every project calculated to build
up the town and enhance its
importance.
There are few towns where
the stores present a more pleasing
appearance of their respective
places of business than in
Fort Mill, and such pride is
certainly commendable. That is
not all. They carry good, clean
stocks, for fair dealing draws a
splendid patronage from the
surrounding territory.
Fort Mill has never enjoyed
such a trade as it has during the
past few months, and every day
it is increasing. The fact of the
matter is our business men have
got right down to business and
are selling goods cheaper than
they can be bought in any town
af this size in the State.
Just why William Banks of
l-L- A _ J T._V t.
me /viiueruon intelligencer picked
the 13th to launch his new daily
paper cannot be explained except
by Banks himself. However,
here's hoping that no jinx
will camp on the trail of the
Daily Intelligencer as a result ol
its unlucky (?) birthday.
When one finds he is out of
sympthy with his town, and can
only say a good word for it
coupled with an apology, he
ought to get out. Many people fall
into a sort of unconscious haoit
of growling. But it's a miserable
habit.
A large number of men have
found out to their sorrow that it
is easier to mortgage the home
to buy an automobile than it is
to mortgage an automobile to
buy a home.
Gentlemen of Council: Why
not lorm a budget of the town's
expenses for 1914?then tack on
a lew hundreds for permanent
improvements. Either of our
banks wid gladly advance the
cash.

tax" law.
