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.

According to schedule announced
several weeks ago, the
Fort Mill Light Infantry. Co. 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

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.
