No. 112. Entered at the postoffice at Fort Mill. S. C.. as mail matter of the second class. THURSDAY. APRIL H>. 1914. If there is one thin# needed for the streets of Fort Mill it is some kind of curb, either stone or cement, to prevent the sidewalks from washing away with each rain that comes along. Rock curbing would be expensive and cement curb probably would answer the purpose just as well. We wruld therefore suggest that the city government try as an experiment the making of cement curbs for the streets that have no paving-. Fifty wooden forms, a car load of stone and a few loads of sand, with a few laborers, would probably furnish enough curb for all the streets which are so greatly in need of retaining walls. .The city of Gatfney is trying the home-made cement curb and we would he pleased to see Fort Mill also give the prejc ct a try out. For apparently good reasons, some members of the National Guard of South Carolina are all but pleased over the war department's selection of the Isle of Palms as an instruction camp next summer for the Ninth division of the militia. A writer in the Columbia Record thinks that the Island is a complete failure for this purpose. He says that there is nothing there but deep sand barrens and dunes and not sufficient room for ex tended manoeuvers; the drinking water is inadequate to the demand, to say nothing of the abominable n^psquito pest. It does seepi that the authorities higher up would have thought of some of these objections to the Island and selected a camp in the upper part of the State. Nothing can he of so much importance to a city as good health. It sometimes seems that it is unfortunate for a city to he situated in a country that has natural advantages making it healthful, because people are apt to depend too much upon what nature has done, and make little effort to do anything for themselves. Disease germs have a hard battle for existence in ar atmosphere of cleanliness, and the proper time to clean up is before the spring crop of flies has arrived to make life miserable. If we are not mistaken, the time is close at hand when the town of Fort Mill will he compelled to buy a lot and erect s building thereon for the town's use. With the installation ir the near future of a waterworks system, it will, of course, bt necessary to buy hose, host wagons and other equipment, and these things must bo housed, We know of no citizen whc would, or could he expected to, furnish a house for this purpose, and it would seem to be a con vonience which the town will bt compelled to supply. The Rock Hill Herald an nounces that James Cansler ol Tirzah will again be in the ract for State railroad commissioner, whereupon the Yorkville En quirer remarks that Mr. Canslei has received more votes for tht oflice than any man who evei ran for it. But the trouble with Mr. Cansler is that the votes don't come his way in bip enough bunches. I Did you go to church last Sun} day? If you did. all right and good. If you didn't, go next Sunday. ? Editor DeCamp of the Gaffney Ledger thinks that Mr. Finley is "treading close to the brink of Republicanism" in view of his vote in the Panama tolls repeal matter. Mr. DeCan.o, if we mistake not. has always been cold-footed to our present congressman and that he should thus wrongly size up Mr. Finley's stand is not surprising. We fear that some of the j brethren of the press are violntincr n Portorn 1 ch.tnfp liv ; printing the platforms of the candidates for governor without branding the matter as adver: tising. As for The Times, we j are not hunting trouble with Uncle Sam. * Congratulates Fort Mill. "We wish to congratulate Fort Mill and its booster, the Fort Mill Times, upon the suci cess of their election to raise bonds for waterworks. The i issue carried by a vote of five to [ one."- Lancaster News. District Pfeet on April 23. At a meeting Thursday after! noon of the local chapter of the U. D. C., held at the home of the president, Mrs. Robert F. Grier, announcement was made that the date of the meeting at | Fort Mill of the Ridge district had been set for April 23. This | date was named by Miss Alice Earle, of Columbia, who is the I State president. The program i for the meeting is now being arranged by members of the local chapter. The meetings are to be held in the hall of Catawba lodge where the delegates will be welcomed by Mayor ' A. R. McElhaney and reprej sentatives of the local camps of ' the U. C. V's and Sons of Veterans. Included in the entertainI ment for the delegates will bear j inspection of the several monu| meats in Confederate Park, ' luncheon in the town hall and an automobile trip to the old White mansion, north of town, where it is on record that t he last meeting of the full cabinet of President Davis was held. These and , a visit to other points of interest, , including possibly old Unity , cemet< rv, the old mill site east , of town and the old fort west ol town, front which the place wa named, will be among the means of entertainment for the larg< numb* r of delegates from tin ' several chapters forming tlit 1 Ridge district. i Looks Like War. As a result of the Mexican ' National government's refusal Jo i offer proper apology to the United States for the arrest 01 several American marines at ( Tampieo a few days ago, a I gener; I concentration of the Atlantic fleet at Tampico wa* ' ordered Tuesday by Secretary ! Daniels, after a cabinet meeting ' in which President Wilson lai< before the cabinet the necessity for b: eking up the demand oi Rear Admiral Mayo that tlu American flag be .?salatod by . the Huerta commander. Disl patches from Washington stated , that no ultimatum, had been is I sued to the Huerta government, but that the mobilization of tlu Atlantia fleet at Tampico was' I intended to put the United States in position to enforce one should the immediate develop ment make it necessary. It is ' stated that twenty-odd American . war vessels will be in Mexican waters within a week. i ; Thaw Gains Strong Point. i At Concord, New Hampshire. ? Tuesday Harry K.

THE FORT MI SUCCESS MEANS SELF-DENIAL Those Who Would Gain Position and Wealth Must Be Willing to Pay the Price Demanded. What is the secret of success in business? .There is no secret about it. All von have to do is attend to your business and iro ahead.?Commodore Vanderbilt. Ci._ t T i success nemanus ennrt ana sacrifice. This seems like a trite statement. hut it is so true that it will hear repetition. Men ami women with their eves eueeossward ilo not live en eh <lav entirely unto itself: they take thought of the morrow, its emergencies, its |H*sihilities, its opportunities. It is a matter of most pressing imjportanee to every young person to consider the advisability of doing without certain pleasures and expensive comforts at present for the sake of enjoying them longer at a later date. What share of life's comforts, enjoyments and freedom from hardship do you want for your later days ? From time immemorial this question has found its solution in a willingness to make reasonable effort in one's own behalf and^to postpone little gratifications that are not real I v neecssarv now in order to enjoy them in multiplied ratio later on. Look around you in the community. Consider the lives of the successful men here with whose history you are familiar^ In nine cases out of ten is it not Irue that these men have found that early self-denial and thrift formed r hi<?- nnrt of the nriee ? n i i they had to pay for material buceess?

In tnanv western states they have hegun to touch earth education, says a writer in the Country (lentleman. It has taken hold with a magnificent grip. Hoys and girls are showing amazingly more interest in the growth of a tomato vine than they ever did in the table manners of tin Modes and Persians. Some day all our public schools may teach a little elementary agriculture and awaken an interest in children in things that grow an interest that should lead to future enlightenment and understanding. If only the single principle that successful farming is not a haphazard pastime, hut a business and a science requiring both patience j and ingenuity, could he hammered 'home a tremendous advance would he made. It might also ho an excellent plan to teach eastern school children a few truths concerning our great west, and our western school children a few truths about the east not the wild and wolly west nor the colonial cast, hut the west and cast of today. IN HOUSE MOTHER'S HANDS. Of course it goes without saving that the heaviest artillery <>f our fit ture warfare against disease will be directed toward its prevention rather than its euro. The hest and only i radical euro of disease consists in preventing its spread and wiping out the conditions which alone render its : existence possible?poor food, dirty i water, bad drainage, dark and ill' ventilated houses. More and more of our energy and brain power will be devoted to the cheerful, positive task of keeping our bodies so strong and wholesome and vigorous that they can defy disease, instead of patching them up after ' they are sick. Food, rest, sunshine, exercise, bathing, massage these are the sheetanchors of our new materia niediea. ?J >r. Woods Hutchinson.
