The Times is especially pleased to learn that the York County Fair Association came out all right financially with its exhibition last week. With the present distressed business conditions and two days of exceedingly bad weather, it was feared that the fair stockholders were doomed to lose a considerable bunch of money. However, the weather cleared on Friday, thanks to Providence, and the crowd in attendance that day and Saturday was so large the management announced that it was thought the expense of the c -..u i._ ?:,i iair cuuiu uc pmu vjuc vi. mv. prate receipts alone. With a management that can make "ends meet" a year like this, there should be no further doubts of its permanency or probability of its being a paying institution for the stockholders. In the Yor}< News of Monday it is noted that Congressman Finley has gained the consent of the postoffice department to place a letter box at the Southern depot in Yorkville into which the people may put letters to be taken up by the railway l>ostal clerks upon the arrival there of the trains. These boxes make it possible to mail lastminijte % letters, without the trouble of awaiting the arrival of the trains. Fort Mill could use,su?h a convenience to great advantage, and should CongressA nlniT V>io n fT e n iiKtu i uurjf rAicnu 1110 tuui to ? little further and have a mail box placed at the railway station here, he would receive the thanks of all the people of Fort Mill and the community. All those publishers who "fell to" the plate-matter advertising scheme of the State fair association are being royally wined and dined in Columbia this week we don't think. Keep a Stiff Upper Lip. The way to make hard times is to talk hard times. Men will stampede just as cattle stampede when some one springs a false alarm. The other day I looked over a cotton buyer's books for the fall of 1911. Cottctp opened at 8 1-2. and the bulk of the crop sold on the local market brought under 9 cents.

In order that the friends and patrons of Fort Mill school may have an opportunity of seeing some of the daily work of the school, Wednesday, Nov. 4, has been designated as Visitors' Day. The regular scchool work will be carried on, and it is in this work that we wish you to become more interested. Every person is cordially invited to pay the school a visit on this day. No entertainment will be given except that which is given daily by the teachers and pupils. It is our aim to make school life a part of home life. This cannot be accomplished unless there is a thorough understanding and a hearty co-operation between teachers and parents. Monthly reports were given out Tuesday. If you have not seen your child's report, ask him about it. Children sometimes forget these things. Some of the reports were not as good as they usually are. Perhaps this was brought about by the following regulation that we had to make: Every excused absence from a class lakes off 21-2 points and every unexcused absence takes off 5 points. Also, the teachers have been asked to mark the pupils very closely. It is a disappointment to the pupil and parents for a child to muk'P pvppllanf movL-o .... x, vovviiviiv Ulttl no VI UI Ul^ i the term and to fall very low on < examination.

The total receipts of $220,139 from the four games of tiie; World's Series, and the handsome bonuses paid to the players of both winning and losing team, | strikingly illustrate the financial proportions to which the national game has grown. But this year's series has done more than show "the money there is in it." It lias vindicated the honesty of the game itself, in spite of the 5 commercialism* of its manage| ment. i To have prolonged the conj test through seven games, with j ! the championship hanging in the j , balance to the end. would have been worth at least $100,000 to the (Avners. As it is, they have ! profitted little, if at all, from | the shorter series because of the I heavier expenses. Where they will gain will be in the more favorable attitude of the public I toward baseballl as a result of the demonstration that games , are decided on their merits and without suspicion of "jockeying" i with a view to larger gate re- i ceipta. ?
