THURSDAY. JUNE 18. 1914.
Sofnewhat Out of Date.
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.

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.
