THURSDAY. APRIL 15, 1915.
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.
Fighting the fly after it is grown j
is work that involves immense
labor in proportion to the comparatively
simple and easy task
of killing the maggots and preventing
the eggs from hatching. |
The most effective way of fight- j

their breed jng places. 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

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.

The company will do a general

Our Gold Hill Letter.
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.

fine and cheerful; make your work n

But take no nasty, dangerous
calomel because it mnkes you sick and'
you ninv lose a day's work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea and crumping.
