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.
