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?

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 ,

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.

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. The
total amount of money asked for
is $74,847.36, an amount in excess
of last year's supply bill.
Cotton Ginnings Broke Record.
Cotton ginning in the last two
weeks of December surpassed
the same period of every other
year except the record production
year of 1911, and brought
the total cotton ginned from the
1914 crop up to 14,447,623 bales,
a quantity greater than ever
ginned in any other year, and
more than 130,000 bales more
than in 1911. Cotton ginned during
the last three years after
January 1 has vaiied from 1,236,071
bales in 1911 to 685,090
Dales in IP13.
