Quite a number of things have i occurved in the twenty-three years of the life of The Times which have disturbed it a pood deal more than the incident .iust now presented 01 Mr. Stevenson, candidate for Conpress apainst M r. Finley, whose friend the1 paper is, quotinp in his in- j terest an editorial-news article! published in these columns thirteen years apo. Mr. Stevenson was then a member of the General Assembly. He is now usinp what The Times said of him in January, 1901, as a part of the advertisinp he is doinp in furtherance of his candidacy. It is a far cry from January. : 1901, to June, 1914, and it would i seem that, if there be such. Mr. ; Stevenson would find it more I fruitful to quote complimentary ! newspaper references to himself i of more recent date. Perhaps ; it was a case of Hobson's choice with him. else in pood judpment I he would not have pone to the i dim past to dip up somethinp he thoupht would prove a votepetter. Certainly he would search the files of The Times of more recent years in vain for anythinp he would care to us< in his advertising propaganda. For instance, we think he would hardly care to pay any of the newspapers of the district to publish the editorial which ap- j peared in The Times some years j ago in reference to the report 1 that he was at otie time acting in j the dual capacity of representative of Chesterfield county and attorney for the Seaboard Aii Line Railway in the General Assembly. Nor do we think lit would find it a source of profit ! to put up to the newspapers any j real money to circulate the j article which appeared in The ! Times of September 12, 1912. I under the heading, "Bleasc Mei 100 in the Shade." The W. F. Stevenson of 1914 appears to m* very unlike the VV. F. Stevenson of 1901. A remark Senator Tillman is quoted as having made to Mr. Stevenson when Mr. Stevenson is said to have been discuss-1 ing his candidacy for Congress with the Senator is not amiss: "You have too much railroad paint on you." Advertising He ps. If there was no advertising the ! cast of living would be higher ! than it is. Advertising concen-! trates the demand for certain | articles on a few well-known trademarked lines instead of! many different lines as formerly. and keeps factories busy. The greater the output the less the cost. If we are raising 40 bushels of corn per acre the cost j>er bushel is just about half j that of a neighbor who pro-! duces '20 bushels. Six loaves of 1 bread can be baked with the same heat that bakes one loaf. The same principle applies to manufacturing. Take shoes for ! example: Twenty years ago i there were 3,000 shoe manu-; facturers. Today there are 1,300. The bulk of the shoes sold to the fifty million people liying im farms* and in small \ ' " . : . -w. ? . r ,\ . v; towns are made by about fifty r i. mil i.i large iiiauuiaciurers. ine umer 1 1,250 are small concerns who make "private branded" shoes. The largest concerns making shoes, clothing, hosiery, underwear, or any other line^ are advertising their goods under their own name and trademark. They have become leaders because they give better values and they make these values known by advertising. As the output increases, the making cost goes down. The saving is put into extra quality. As sales increase the selling cost goes down. This saving on selling goes into advertising. Advertising has kept prices stationary and in many cases has lowered them, besides increasing quality, even in the face of increasing cost of raw materials and labor. Naturally, we want to buy where we can get the best prices. Therefore, always ask for and insist upon having advertised goods bearing the maker's name and trademark. Many of them are found in this paper. Mr. Brice's Communication. The Times is pleased to give space this week to a communication from Senator J. S. Brice, chairman of the county court house commission, in reply to an article which appeared in the York News ten days ago. The article in The News was written by a former editor of this paper and in it attention was called to the failure of the persons who selected the articles deposited in the cornerstone of the new court house to include a copy ot The Times. The explanation of Senator Brice relieves the commission of any responsibility for what seemed to be an act of favoritism in placing cny two of the county's newspapers in the cornerstone. The Times, so far as the county papers art concerned, began the agitation for the new court house and it does seem that the service it undertook to render the undertaking should not have been overlooked. Plr. Jno. Archy Dead. Mr. Jno. Archy, a well known resident of this city, died suddenly late Wednesday afternoon at his home in the village of the .Vli 11 fort mill. Mr. Archy had been in ill health for several months. He was sitting on his porch Wednesday afternoon when his wife noticed that he nad fallen backwards into his chair. He was removed into the nouse. where death followed in a few minutes. Mr. Archy was 53 years of age and is survived by a wife and several grown children. The remains were taken to Davidson College. N. C., this morning for burial. Our Gold Hill Letter. Times Correspondence. We feel moved to say something about the excellent ser- i vices that are being conducted at the Fort Mill Baptist church by Iiev. \V. IV Wakefield, of Co lumbia. The writer has had the pleasure of hearing him several times, and wishes that more ol the Flint Hill congregation may be enabled to hear him before the meeting closes. Four deacons were elected at Flint Hill Sunday, being James F. Boyd and S. Q. Harrison, reelected W. S. Cranford and Gary T. Windell. Our crops are looking refreshed as the result of a much needed rain which fell Saturday afterI noon. Some of our farmers had begun to look pretty blue during the dry spell, and someone was heard to remark that it was so dry that a fish swimming up stream would kick up a dust. Mr. B. C. Blankenship returned to his home in this section the last week from Clemson , college. We understand that ! Mr. Blankenshin is to whim to I the college after a brief stay to take a position with the workers over there. Miss Theo. Garrison, who has been attending school at Rock Hill, is at home now. VVe believe that Miss Garrison is the last of the "sweet girl graduates" to return to this section. T. W. Cold Hill, June 15. \ "'V" ' H '3 ') ITERS OF LOCAL INTEREST. At a meeting of the town council last night it was decided to extend the street paving and the street committee was authorized to begin at the corner of White street and pave the sidewalk . along .Depot .street to the corner of Spratt street, a distance of about 750 feet. At the conclusion of this work, the council will consider extensions along Confederate, Booth and White streets, all of which are partlj' paved. About a dozen members of the Winnsboro troop of Boy Scouts arrived here TiipsHov mnmimr under the leadership of assistant Scoutmaster, Will Fewell, and made camp at the club house on the Catawba river. Other members of the troop are expected to join them and they will probably remain in camp here for a week or 10 days. Ogilvie-Neely. Announcements reading as follows were received in Fort Mill Wednesday: "Mrs. Wiliiam Mathew Ogilvie announces the marriage of her daughter, Margaret Walker, to Dr. Augustus Theodore Neely, .lune the sixteenth. 1914, Charleston, S. C." Cards: "At home after duly first. Fort Mill, South Carolina." Trull Convicted of Plurder. After having the case all night a Charlotte jury Saturday morning reported finding Chas. Trull, a young white man, guilty of murdering Sidney Swain, a wellto-do merchant. Swain was waylaid and killed with a heavy iron pipe late on the night of May 1(J, while going from his store to his home. He was robbed of over $400. Such a sum of money was later found on Trull's person. A strong chain of circumstantial evidence connected Trull with the crime. On the stand young Trull told an amazing story of past crimes, admitting that he had grafted fronr) employers, wronged his father and deserted his wife. Trull was formerly a resident of Columbia. A * * n sensauon marKed the last stages of the trial when .Judge Adams suddenly ordered Trull searched for drugs, declaring he would severely prosecute the) party who supplied them. Trull had slept frequently while his rial progressed, and went to deep during the judge's charge. Trull was sentenced to die by electrocution on August 14.
