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.

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

This seems like a trite statement.

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

TEACH EAST ABOUT THE WEST
Sectio.-ial Misunderstanding, AM Too
Prevalent, Might Be Cleared up
With Farm Education.
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.

are earning their way is increasing

of the student employment committee
of Columbia university, the

Made Strong and Well by Vinol.
i When we tell you that Vinol is the
best remedy in our stock for
making weak, puny, ailing children
strong, robust and rosy we are only
telling you what has been proved by
hundreds of mothers.
J. L. Fielding, Macon, Ga., says:
"My child was very thiu and delicate,
no appetite, nervous, and did not
' sleep well. Doctors did not help her. j
Vinol was recommended and the
change after a fair trial was wonderfill.

what Vinol will do for delicate children."
What Vinol did for this little girl
It will do for every weak and ailing
child because sickly children need
the strengthening cod liver elements
anu the tonic iron that Vinol contains?that
is why Vinol builds them
up quhkly and gives them a line,
