Possibly we are mistaken in believing that the failure of the city authorities of Columbia to enforce the automobile ordinances of that municipality as they are enforced in some cities, Charlotte, for instance, was more or less responsible for the death of Prin^le T. Youmans Saturday Iwit if ic n r?r?t<icions fnt*t that automobile drivers race up and down the principal streets of the Capital almost at will and that the police stand idly by and apparently pay little heed to the violation of the law. Unless the offender happens to be the driver of Governor Blease there isn't apt to be a case docketed against him, however much he may endanger the rights and liberties of the pedestrian. And it speaks well for the mayor and other city authorities that they allow their spite against the Governor to prompt them in making his chauffeur stay strictly within the law, while the same law is being violated by dozens of others who are never held to account for their wrongdoing. Hereafter road commissioners' will be accorded the privilege of riding with rural carriers for inspection of the roads. The new rule was announced in the January supplement to the Postal Guide and is as follows: "Postmasters at rural delivery offices are instructed to permit road supervisors or commissioners having direct charge of the high ways over which rural delivery routes are in operation to ride over the routes with rural carriers when such road officials are actually engaged in the performance of their duties in connection with the inspection of the roads." The new rule will be of great advantage especially to county superintendents of roads who will be enabled to inspect many miles of roads daily without going to the expense of horse or auto hire. The proposed waterworks bonds, if the election is favorable to the issue, will, of coijrse, slightly increase the city taxes of the property owners, but who would not rather pay a small additional levy than have his property swept away by fire, whep it probably could be saved from destruction if the town had waterworks. True, you may have your property insured for something like half its value, but if it should burn you would be put to the inconvenience of hunting a home until you could build. And, if you are a business man, where, oh where, would vou vet a stand in which to do business until you could erect a store building. Had you thought of it in this light? Experience and observation have taught us how impossible it is for pupils to receive full benefits by going to school two or three days in a week and remain away the balance of the time. This is bad enough when actual necessity compels parents to keep their children from school, but when they are permitted to remain out for the purpose of attending some place of amusement, or merely because they feign sickness until after school is called and then immediately recover, is much worse. Time thus lost can nev* r be regained, and parents all will see the dav when they will rue it. An Iowa man has solved the cost of the living problem by living with his father-in-law. 1 The Times does not ^believe that any arguments are necessary to convince anyone why he should vote for the bond issue on April 3. The mere fact that all the to\Vns of importance in "the counfry "have water systems, and that a very large majority of them built the systems by bond issues, should be argument enough to show that every citizen who wishes to see our town go forward will cast a ballot for the bonds. Remember that your home dealer is here to make every promise goou, ana tnat ne can always give you a better stock to select from. It is characteristic of the American people to try to pet something for nothing, but the time when they can do this has not come as yet. No one when garden time comes will intentionally or maliciously permit their chickens to destroy their own or their neighbor's gardens, and no neighbor feels like knocking a | chicken over and throwing it over the fence, though the law gives you that right. If you, dear reader, are a voter of the town of Fort Mill and wish to see the town progress, you will go out to the polls on Friday, April 3, and cast a vote for the water works bonds. The citizens of any prosperous tuwn inv hi ways puuuc spirucu and united. Stand together, work for the interests of the whole town. Always stand ready to do your part. There are some people who are mighty careless about throwing old truck in the alleyways. Such people should be taught a little civic pride by a modest line. Unusual Weather for March. The weather during the last ten days has been remarkable for March for the degree of chilliness of the atmosphere in the early mornings, according to a statement from the Charlotte weather bureau. Sunday morning the thermometer was down to 25, Monday morning it was again at 25, and during the last ten days the mercury has been exploring various other subterranean depths. In going over the r< cords of the Charlotte bureau, it was found that not since 1888 had anything weatherwise taken place in March that could even approach these temperatures. The weather dining the early part of the month was not extraordinary, although it was unusual, but the showing for the latter part has been remarkable. Engagement Announced. A social event of much interest is the announcement of the engagement of Miss Helen Kathleen Massey of Rock Hill and Henry McCombs Heath of Mati thews, which will take place ' April 21. The following is taken i from the Rock Hill Herald: "Mr. and Mrs. Julian S. Starr have announced the engagement of their sister. Miss Helen Kathleen Massey of this city, and Henry McCombs Heath of Charlotte. N. C., tho wedding to take place April 21. Miss Massey is a daughter of the late l>r. J. E. Massey of this city and is a very attractive young woman who has a wide circle of friends who are interesred in the coming happy | event. Mr. Heath is a son of the late Everette Heath of Matthews and is a prominent business man of that place." Durham is Fire Swept. Fire originating in the second story of the Brodie L. Duke office building in Durham, N. C.. ! Tuesday morning caused a property loss estimated at from one to two million dollars. The fire Was discovered nhnnt 1 . ~ .. -K V? v A \r V 1V/V IN Tuesday morning and for several hours threatened the entire business district of Durham. Failure of water pressure and bursting of water mains were given as a reason for the city firemen being unable to ci e k the flames. The greatest loss fell upon Mr. Duke, whose ofTiee building, valued at $200,000. was totally destroyed. Mr. Marshall to Visit Charlotte. In response to the invitation of a committee of the business men of Charlotte, who went to Washington early this week. Vice President Marshall has consented to visit Charlotte upon the occasion of the Twentieth of May celebration and deliver an THE FORT Ml address. Incidentally, it might be said that the celebration in Charlotte the coming 20th of May gives promise of being the most elaborate yet held in the Queen City. . . . * What Those Coupons Mean. If you met a niekle laying in your path, would you stoop to pick it. I guess you would. How about a penny? There are mighty , few people in this town \Vho would not make a quick dive for it. Well, that is exactly what our Cash Coupons are, nickles and pennies, and enough of them make dollars, and they are good as long as we are in business. Of course, they are not good on railroad trains nor for postage 1 stamps, but they are good here. Based or. the present average purchase, every customer who enters our store is entitled to a , one-cent cash coupon. Leaving out Soda Fountain and Cigar sales the average customer is entitled possibly to a five-cent cash coupon, and, as has been said, these cash coupons are the same as money in buying, and that's all money is good for. Ask for your coupons when j paying for your purchases. Spend them now or save them until you accumulate a goodly sum. Until some special deals are arranged they are good for the purchase of anything in the store. Ardrev's Drue Store. 0 u THURSDAY AT THE Majestic, "The Shadow of Nazareth."
