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

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.

Visitors' Day at Graded School.
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

The Honesty of Baseball.
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"
