O ' Tr> thr puhllfhor. Hdv^rttainur ! ;?t ttlc ?? ?. !-. n? K.?rt Mill. S. C.. J." THURSDAY. JAN. 14. 1015. '.is. 1J "" "rr J r - 1 Lr 1 : PGive the Boy a Chance. The world's record for corn raising belongs to Walter L. TYoonson, an Alabama boy, yet in his early teens. Last year IKr this boy raised 232;/ bushels of j corn on a single acre of land, which is the largest yield per - acre ever recorded. This remarkable record was made by an RhHnarv hov and on ordinary land. He became interested in corn raising and studied into the matter of the kind and f)roper use of fertilizers and proper cultivation. As a result of putting his knowledge to practical use he raised 232 bushels of corn on one acre of land, thereby winning the championship of the world. What Walter L. l>eenson has done serves to show what a common everyday, opt and out hoy can do if he is given A the chance. There are thousands of ambitious hoys on thfe rich lartns 01 tnis state wno. never know what it is to be encouraged to take an interest in agricul^^jy: stock raising. If , ___ oys were Riven a~small plot of ground and some seed corn for example?to plant ahd cultivate, a circus would not be able to turn their thoughts very far away from the enchanted spot where a wonderful harvest will be theirs to reap. A boy may not be able to raise 232 bushels of corn on an acre of his father's land, but he can do well enough to make his efforts worth while. What boy in this aounty is going after that world's championship record next year? ' f .. ' . . Somebody has said that thereare more young men in the; penitentiary in this country; learning trades than there are outside of them. The principal cause of this is we arc edu- \ eating our young men for gen-j tlemen; trying to make lawyers, doctors and clerks out of the material nature intended for blacksmiths, carpenters, and other hewers of wood and drawors of water. It is a mistake , n J o Kiir ai%a f a f a?iaU *wl i '^n^K>r< <% v",v>; ll/ tv.icn JA'JJ <*ini |k!i?Is by insinuation or otherwise Bhat to labor K labor is necessary for a liveli?p5t>od to follow n trbnteej occupation, and that to do nothing for a living is more hecoming the society in which they expect; to rnoy^'unu htt^yegpec^ .

T^ie Times- this week almost feels called upon to beg pardon of its readers for devoting so much space to the doings of the State's ohief executive, but, inasmuch as G over nor Blease has been raising- so much "Cain" of late. we. believe that the several items relating to his acts will be read with interest. And, just to think, this time nexf week there will be no Governor Coleman Livingston Blease. Likewise, no more v. i v I i I . 11 V ^ 1V.VVIUO. Old Clothing Wanted. ^ Mr. W. M. Carothers, overseer of the Southern Power company's lands, a large portion of which lie in the hail strcken district of the county, requests The Times to issue an appeal to the people of Fort Mill and vicinity for relief for the people of that district. The negroes of that section, Mr. Carotherssays, are in dire need of help, especially in the way of additional clothing. On the Southern Power company's lands are 42 negro children under ten years of age who are most scantily clad and not a one of these have shoes on their feet. The case was cited of one little negro girl whose clothing consisted only of an old quilt, with arm holes cut out, and fastened around her bfcdy with a string. Besides these, there aie hundreds of others in as destitute The people of Fort Mill aie asked to help these poor people. Any kind of old cast off clothing or shoes will relieve much suffering. Mr. Carothers asks that any of our people having articles of clothing that can be spared to wrap them in bundles and leave them at the store of A. O. Jones, and it will be a pleasure of his to see that they are properly distributed. It is hoped and holipvpfl tKnf rnanu will w o vinrl at once to this appeal. Seeking Evidence Against Nolan. Postoftice Inspector Gregory was in Fort Mill several days last week working up his cases against Thomas Nolan, alias Chicago Nolan, alias Detroit Nebs, who was arrested by the federal authorities on his release from State prison some days ngo and carried to Yorkville jail, where he will await trial. Arrest was made on a warrant issued by Magistrate J. W. MeElhaney in 1902, sworn out by W. B. Meacham, then cashier of the Savings Bank of Fort Mill, for blowing up and robbing the bank's safe on the night of September 29, from which about $3,700 was secured in silver and currency. An important witness. Walter Glover, is at present visiting relatives in Arkansas, but is expected back 111 a it" 11 aye, aim 11. IB CA(Wled that a preliminary trial will then be held before Magistrate R. P. Harris. New Stamp Rules. Regulations to govern the placing of war tax stamps on conveyances of real property have been issued by Commissioner Osborne. The tax is "iO cents on deeds tnat amount to more than $100 and less than ?500, with 50 cents additional for each $500 or fraction over JS500. Where the consideration is nominal or $1, the tax must be .omputed upon the actual value >f the property conveyed. f-'rittHncriMrrii i Cotton Slowly Advancing. Spot cotton on the local market, which has ?been slowly but steadily climbing in price for the past several weeks was Quoted yesterday at 7 3-4 cents. Cotton merchants are manifssting a very keen interest in the status of the situation now, particularly of the efforts toward importation of aottefi into Germany, where there is such a demand and at'such fancy prices. The first ship load to reach German markets went from Wilmington, N. C., about three weeks atro. Since that time a number of American ships have sailed for German ports. However, the rate is about three time's the normal price. The tone of the market is slowly but steadily strengthening ar.d it is believed that'when eight cents is reached there will be a substantial improvement in all lines. County Supply Bill. The county board of commissioners the last week completed the York county supply bill and sent the same to the comptroller general. It will be the duty of the York delegation to fix a. teax levy in*conformity with the bill. Among the items in the bill is One of $1,300 for the salary and expenses of a "special constaLI _ >? nr>i l uie. mere is no sucn omciai in York county at present.
