It is figured that the war is costing $498 a second, or $28.880 a minute, or $1,792,800 an hour, or $43,027,200 a day. School will soon be out for the summer, and hundreds of children will be turned loose, with no other thoughts than pleasure. But at the same time parents should be very careful in the selection of playfellows for the little ones, in as much as wild seeds sown in childhood reaps harvests of sin and shame. Watch over them well. Persons who had hoped to see the Jess Willard-Jack Johnson prize fight in motion pictures will be disappointed. The federal law forbids not only inter? f r* i A state transportation 01 ngni films, but the importation of such films from foreign countries and provides a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment of one year, or both, for each offense. The Times wishes to pay voluntary tribute to the orderly conduct of the members of th'r carnival company visiting Fort Mill this week. Their appearance and general attitude is all that one could desire in any relation. They have a fine show, the best that has yet visited this town, and every official with whom we have come in contact has acted with the highest courtesy and pleasantness. Head Off the Fly. The housefly's favorite breeding place is in manure piles.

Write to the entomologist of Clemson College for instructions in the use of powdered borax for treating manure for fly prevention. Lay a Bet On Him. Don't poke fun at the boy who comes in from the forks of the creek, with seed in his hair, and mud on his face, patches on the north department of his pants, and just one gallus on. He may look seedy now, but ten years from now he may be president of some bank, pastor of some church, judge of some court or physician to some people. Just because a boy lives in town, wears two kinds of socks, parts his hair in the middle, sucks at a cigarette, curls his hair on his mother's curling tongs, and has a daddy with sponduiix to burn, j that is no sign that he is going to run this country in the future. We'll put our money on the sound, sane and sensible boy from the forks of the creek.? Ex. The annual spring meeting of Bethel Presbyterial is in session this week in the First Presbyterian church of Rock Hill. A most enjoyable and profitable meeting is anticipated. Jew Willard ?King. " 'From his shoulders and upwards he was higher than any of the people.' It seems," says the Columbia Record, "that the world has always admired an aggressive, upstanding man. When the Israelites of old besought the prophet Samuel to give them a king, he presented them Saul, who was 'head and shoulders' the 'biggest man,' physically, in the whole country. "There seems to be something in a big man that appeals to the admiration of mankind. The big first baseman is more nearly an immortal than the duck-legged outfielder. The big center is the admiration of the side lines, while the quarter who drives the big hulk, may go unobserved. "The biggest man in the whole shining world today is Jess Willard. We do not know the gentleman, never heard his name, to fasten it in memory, until Monday, when a crowd of interested subscribers came into the office to hear the 'fight news.' "At the same time a young man was reading out loud something that sounded like election returns, and the crowd was very quiet as one man, Johnson, appeared to be running ahead, was not locally popular. Of a sudden we heard the cry, 'Willard wins,' and upon inquiry received the information that he did not win the appointment of postmaster at Orangeburg, about which there appears to be some discussion, but he wins the world's championship in prize-fighting by whipping the big, burly negro. That negro was the Johnson of whom the telegraphic reports were commenting. Whether he was defeated or just counted out at the polls we have not heard. "It appears that he was not. after all, running so far ahead, for some outlying precincts came in Q n/'l nrQUO Kolanna f a M i it? miiu |s,w t tuv/ k/aiauv^c iv mi . ' Willard. Twenty-six precincts were heard from and the last four, which gave Johnson what they call a 'knockout,' were Stamina, Youth, Pluck and Fate. "Let us hope that Jack Johnson's name is placed among the roll of the 'has beens.' We trust that we will never see it in print again except in connection with a dispatch from Chicago stating that the courts of Cook county, Illinois, have put the burly black brute to poulticing the roads with hand crushed rock. As the mighty Samson succumbed to the wiles of Delilah, so has Jack Johnson's moral debasement ai d fistic downfall been brougl t about by a woman who deserves with him the vengeance of an outraged law vigorously applied. "When the Israelites demand ed a king, they got Saul. The people have been clamoring for a 'white hope.' They got .less Willard. He will be the king of the small boy's fancy and of the larger boy's adulation. He may be all right, but we cannot but feel some contempt for a man who would go into a prize ring and fight with a negro criminal and thug?even to win back that dishonored title which was worn so proudly by Kilrain and Sullivan and men of stamina in the good old days of the 'sport.' And now that those who like that sort of thing have found their king, we hope he will prove {l VPi'V Hppont onrt i\f o % i %* j vavvvnv k-TW* v Wi U 1VIIUU, Will Run Again. Cansler of Tirzah, was in Yorkville yesterday. Asked whether he would be a candidate for the office of railroad commissioner in the next Democratic primary, he said: "Yes, if I am living and Phn raise the money to make the race, 1 will give the boys another chance to count me out."?Yorkvilje Enquirer. The secretary of State has issued a commission to Matthews & Co. of Old Point, with a capital of $4,000, the petitioners being B. H. Matthews, B. C. Matthews and A. Theo. Neely.

Since the European war is on, j the greatest of all conflicts since ! creation, we believe the inevitaj ble results will be the dissolution i of all of Europe. It is both i possible and probable that the map of Europe, when made after the present war, will be as strange to - the present school boy as Toscanellis was during the days of Columbus' boyhood. After the war America will be King. Emigrants will flock to her shores as never before. Already the crowded cities of the North are overflowing with these aliens. What will be the outcome? It is this: The tide of emigration is destined to flow southward to the broad fertile fields of Dixie. It seems that Supervisor Blankenship has already predicted this and placed "sign boards" at all cross roads in order to give information to all strangers. We trust that . other roadmen will follow "suit." C. T. Crow, a well known carpenter of Rock Hill, spent Sunday in Gold Hill with friends. J. G. Smith left Sunday for Yorkville where he is serving this week as a grand juryman. Rev. S. P. Hair on last Sunday concluded his series of sermons on the Ten Commandments. We have never been more benefitted than by this set of sermons. Mr. Hair did no require much tact to draw his large congregations and to hold them spell-bound during his discourses. These commandments are the greatest of { ermons to prepare a community for a revival. I Hyperion. Gold Hill, April 12.
