On account of the illness of ' the publisher. The Times was forced to suspend the issue ofi last Thursday. On Monday, i however, he was able to resume his work arnf hopes that the! paper may appear regularly in the future as it has during thej last 18 years under his manage-< ment. Men who have the respect of intelligent people and the love of * * little children are on the high road to success. Many a child goes astray not because there is want of virtue in the home but because the j home lacks sunshine. Man is not only the architect of his own fortunes; he is also the bricklayer, carpenter, laborer ! and many other things besides. x m _ t_ a i _1? i* I many a man Doasts louaiy 01 freedom who is a slave to bad habits. Let him not boast until he frees himself from the > shackles that bind him. Many .people who talk about i what is "due society" fail to pay what is due the grocer, butcher, dry goods man, and many others to whom they are indebted. - ? ?t The way to escape worry is not by seeking to avoid it, but by taking a fresh interest in life. That, more than anything else, will effect the object and make one cheerful and glad. The poet has sung about not letting a day pass without some good having been done to others. That is well, and if every citizen of this place will see to it not to let a day pass without saying a good word for this community he will help a whole lot of people. Life, like a bank, gives you back with interest what you put into it. If you put but little in you get but a small return, and if you put nothing in you get nothing back. It will be noted that most folks who comnlain that life means nothing to them are of that class. They expect something for nothing and they get disappointed. You can't run a live town or anything else except a cemetery with dead men. A man is dead when he is destitute of public spirit, opposes improvements, and finds fault with tilings in general. The only proper way to deal with such men is to take them out and bury them. Dead also to self-respect is the man too lazy to work and who thereby, if he is married, throws all the burden on his wife. A great many State legislatures have given consideration to bills taxing bachelors and many convincing arguments have been presented why men who escape matrimony should pay a penalty, but why not tag them as a more painless and effective * method of extermination? If the bachelors were tagged the widows, could easily find them and Cupid would do the rest. The bachelor is naturally timid, hut under the encouraging . influences of a merry widow he can be easily led to the altar, for there ia no more helpless D f Si . '-V- * - ' * <' craft afloat than a lovesick swain who has passed the age of discretion and the little imp that plays ping-pong with human hearts has no more capable ally than a woman who loves at second sight, for experience makes Cupid subtle and bold. The women have tag days to promote most every other public enterprise, and why not a tag day for bachelors? We have in South Carolina approximately f fifty thousand bachelors and an S equal number of widows. Why f not get them together and solve ^ two vexatious problems with one * marriage license? r Canal Open to Commerce. The Panama canal is open to the commerce of the world, t Henceforth ships may pass to j and fro through the great water- way which establishes a new j v ocean highway for trade. , ( Tue steamship Ancon, owned 1 > by the United States War De- \ partment, with many notable ( people on board, to-day made the official passage which signal- a ized the canal's opening.

Merritt, who has been visiting relatives in Fort I Mill and the county for two weeks, returned to his home at Bogalusa, La., Friday. The annual meeting of the Baptist Young Woman's Missionary union of the York Baptist association will be held with the Flint Hill church, in Upper Fort Mill, on Friday and Saturday, September 4 and 5.

The loeal chapter of the daughters of the Confederacy will serve dinner to the veterans of the township in Confederate nark next Thursdav. the 27th at 12 o'clock. All veterans are in- ' vited to be present. The Flint Hill Meeting. (Intended for last week.) Last Sunday marked the close of one of the most gracious revival meetings in the history of old Flint Hill church. Rev. Mr. White being unable to be with us, our pastor. Rev. S. P. Hair, delivered God's messages to us j throughout the entire week. We j feel that the Divine Hand of God detained Brother White and saved some lost soul through our pastor that possibly the visitingminister would not have ap- , pealed to. Then too, it was a great privilege and blessing to i have Bro. Frank McCravy, of Laurens, with us. His strong and masterly way of singing the gospel was equally as appealing land sweet as Brother Hair's ex cellent sermons. There were only ten additions to the church, but we feel that God has never made His presence known with us as He did last week. It was a errand sight to see many of our pood people who are on the south side of life, stand up before the people and confess and testify for Christ. Some of the most touching appeals we ever heard came through some of our laymen. And we feel that we cannot say too much in behalf of our; pastor's splendid services during the meeting. Some one was heard to say that .they did not | know Bro. Hair could prv*ach such strong sermons, but brother, those were not- S. P. Hair's ser-1 mons?they were God's mes-1 sages, and our good Brother was the instrument through which God appealed to us. We praise God for the manifestation of His love during the meeting just closed and may His richest blessing rest upon our good pastor and Bro. McCravy. G. T. W. Charles T. Connors, fo-mer editor of the Lancaster News, and one of Lancaster's most j prominent citizens, died Tuesday at the age of 59 years, death i being due to Bright's disease from which he had suffered for three years.
