C.. as mail matter of the second class. THURSDAY. APRIL 23. 1914. With the approach of the hot and dry season, when a number of diseases of an infectious character are communicable through the dust from the . streets, and through a regard for the health, comfort and wellbeing of the people throughout the town, The Times would suggest to., the property authorities that the ordinance pertaining to the limit at which autos be-run on the streets be strictiy enforced. Also, the local board of health might get busy and see ftiof nn watnrmnlnn rhinHs nr other vegetable matter be thrown in the alleys during the hot, sultry months that are just ahead. Governor Blease doubtless will come in for a lot of censure from some of the newspapers for his action in regard to the encamp ment of the militia at the Isle of Palms this summer, but we doubt if any considerable number of the members of the national guard will have regrets to express at the governor's action. The militiamen of this State, a majority of whom have visited the Isle of Palms, know that the place is entirely unfit for a maneuver ground and will welcome the opportunity to go elsewhere this summer. Every Democrat of Fort Mill township should attend the meeting of the local club to be held in the town hall next Saturday afternoon. The club is to be reorganized by the election of officers, and delegates will also be elected to the county convention on May 4. the law requires that all delegates be elected by ballot and it is stated that this requirement will be carried out to the letter in Saturday's meeting of the local club. i It is part of the duty of a good farmer these days to join with his neighbors in the use of the split-log drag. This is the opportune time and the tinie when the judicious use of the split-log drag will produce the most visible and immediate results. Times readers who are unfamiliar with the Mexican situation and the present relations between that country and the United States, will find an abundance of information on the subject in this week's issue. The old-time mother used to wonder where her boy was. Now, according to Abe Martin, she has a grandson who wonders where his mother is.

K.. will be inspected on Monday, the 27th. The inspection will as heretofore be made by an officer from the regular army and the adjutant general of the State. The local company has been holding preparatory drills for several weeks and it is expected that the company will make a good showing in the inspection. FOUR IMRIHES KILLED RY MEXICAN SOLDIERS Wednesday's press dispatches brought the news of the seizure by American war ships of the Mexican port of Vera Cruz and the killing of four United States marines when the Mexicans resisted the invasion arid" "fired" from housetops and other points of vantage. In the engagement twenty American marines were wounded, while it is believed that the loss to the Mexicans in killed and wounded was 200 or more. The clash came Tuesday morn| ing when a detachment of bluei inrkets and marines from the *- American fleet seized the customs house and raised the American flag, and while fightj ing continued throughout the day. Rear Admiral Fletcher had i warned the Federal commander that he would use the big guns of the American fleet if his men I did not stop firing. The United States intends to | take no offensive steps for the present. However, a salute to | the flag, which Huerta refused, will not now be sufficient. A declaration of apology as well as a salute and a guarantee that 1 the rights and dignity of the United States would be respected i can alone now cause a withdrawal of the American forces. * . . Prizes Are Awarded. The committees appointed by S council to inspect the trash piles and premises of the town in the 4'elean-up" campaign inaugurated some weeks ago made their rounds Tuesday and announced the winners. Messrs. VV. II. Ardrey, John J. Bailes and J. T. Young were the judges of the trash piles, and announced the winners as follows: First prize, $5. to Bennett Hoagland; second prize. $2.50. to Malcolm Link: third prize, $1, to Ted Young. Besides these, several boys who had collected piles of trash were allowed small cash prizes. The committee of ladies who inspected the premises of the town consisted of Mrs. W. C. Armstrong, Mrs. A. O. Jones and Mrs. Oscar Parks. The first prize, $5, in this contest went to Mrs. Sallie Armstrong, while Mrs. \V. D. Thrower was allowed the second prize of $2.50. R. T. Fewell Dead. Mr. R. T. Fewell, one of Rock Hill's best known citizens and business men, died at his home in that city Tuesday morning at 2:30 o'clock, after an illness extending over a period of several months. He had lately returned from Florida, where he spent some time in the hope of benefiting his health. Mr. Fewell was a native of this county, having been born in Ebenezer in 1855. He is suivived by his wife, two brothers, 1} Yf f J... 1 d 11 1 (>. m. eniu ijuwiiiu rtrwen, an? two sisters, Mrs. J. H. Milling and Miss Fannie Fevvell. He also has many other relatives in Rock Hill and throughout the county. The funeral was held from I Rbenezer Presbyterian church, of which the deceased was a member, Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, the Rev. J. T. Dendy conducting the service. The interment followed in the church hitrying ground. As has been the custom for several years past, nearly all of 1 Fort Mill's business houses will, it is said, adopt the seven o'clock closing hour as a rule during the months of May. June. Julv nnd August. This gives the clerks and merchants an opportunity for recreation and pleasant di! versions each afternoon. The ' early closing will, it is understood. begin with May 1. The Times would again call attention to the old-time Spelling Bee to be given under the auspices of the Home Missionary society of ' the Presbyterian church at the home of Mrs. J. J. Bailes Friday evening at 8 o'clock. The proceeds from the ! small admission to be charged will be devoted to charitable work. Beginning with Wednesday, the 10th. and continuing for thirty days, the carriers on the several rural routes out from Fort Mill will weigh each parcel of mail handled by them and make a daily report of same to t he post office department. The purpose of weighing the mails is to ascertain the exact amount handled by each carrier during j the month. THE PORT BO v LITTLE MERCY FOR SLAYERS English Point of View In That Connso* tlon Commended by a Now York Newspaper. The refusal of the home secretary in England to grant a pardon or a reprieve to a man convicted of rauN der, though a petition signed by JJf).-. 000 names was presented to him. itf ! an TndeY'of"the~English "mode of looking at .the duty of fulfilling justice. In similar circumstances a pardon or reprieve almost surely would have been granted in this country. Indeed, many murderers are par 1 aonen without any special effort being made for their release. They are" very careful about punishing murderers in England, remarks the New York Herald. We are negligent about it in this country. and false sympathy for the criminal has ruined the efficiency of the law. New York's homicide rate is far ahead of that of London. Indeed, for the last five years, with due allowance for differences of population, there have been nearly six | times as many murders in New York I as in London. The present incident, so different from what would have happened here, and the comparative murder statistics of the two countries are worth while recalling when next ! morbid sympathy is being created 1 for a murderer. They may help us to call a halt on wrongly directed mercy that is not true mercy but sentimental pity. CHILD STUDY WORTH WHILE S?tm> to Bo a Matter te Which Insufficient Attention Hae Been Qlven In the Paat. Our trouble is not that we do not care, but that racially we are more inclined to act than to think. There is only one comprehensive rule for bringing up children, and that is that we must honestly rack our reluctant minds until they give us back something of our own forgotten emotions; that we must give in | measure as we expect to receive ; that ! we must acknowledge the child's mind and emotions to resemble our own in scarcely limited counterpart. Subjective teaching is the only teaching worth while, and sympathy the only kind of love which will buy us the best. Children learn most by | example, and they throw open the doors of their hearts to those who have shown them that hearta have doors. The old quarrel is the most wasteful and unnecessary one. It is human to desire some friendship, and those of us who have children, and in whom the desire is strong, may really know at least one or two i men and women a decade or so from now.?From "Our Children," by I Wells Hastings in the Century. FLOORED. A crabbed old misogynist said to Ethel Barrymore at a dinner in Bar ' Harbor: "Woman! Feminism! Suffrage! Bah !
