If you have anything to sell in this community?labor, crops ! or material ?the people here must have money with which to buy it. If you keep sending your money away from home it will be a long time getting back; it may never get back at all. If all of it were sent away and none of it came back, how long would this town last? Work, Don't Shirk. If you do not agree with some movement for the civic betterment of this town, don't knock it; study it. Try to find out whether your deductions are based on facts or whether your ideas are biased. Those behind this movement must be com mended for their courage in starting something. If you have been knocking you had better s op right now and see if you can not blend some of your ideas with those who took the firsi step. Education of public opinion is the fundamental principle of advancement. If you have a message which will help this town it is your duty to expound it. You may meet opposition, but you will start people thinking. Once you have aroused public interest you Jiave created an asset to the community. Youi opponents will be ready to express their ideas and out of this mutual exchange of such ideas verv much good will result. Whatever this town needs can best be obtained through cooperation. Don't be so positive yourself that you can not see merits in your neighbor's ideas. Be broad-minded enough to ad mit you may be mistaken. Too many of the citizens of this town are prone to think the town will get along without their aid. Of course, they never fail to tell their out-of-town friends of any improvements which have been made here; they are willing to share the glory, but unwilling to bear any of the bur den. The School Teacher. A school teacher is a person who teaches things to people when they are young. The | teacher conies to school at ! 8:30 o'clock, and when she has gotten enough children for a mess in her room, she teaches them reading, writing, geography, grammar, arithmetic, music, drawing, cooking, board, sawing, crocheting, deep breath-1 ing, bird calls, scientific eating, patriotism, plain and fancy bathing, forestry, civics, and other sciences too numerous to mention. When school is out she stays behind wilh five or six of her worst scholars and tries to save the State the job of reforming them later, on. After that she hurries home to make herself a new dress and snatch a hasty supper before going back attend a lecture by an imported specialist on the history of tribal law in Patagonia, which the superintendent thinks may give her some information % which may be useful in her! school work some day. A great many lecturers roam the country, j preying on school teachers, and j some of them are very cruel, talking to them so long that the poor things have to sit up until morning, when they get home, to get their daily test papers! corrected. School teachers' salaries range from $30 a month up?but not far enough up to make them dizzy. On her salary, the teacher must dress nicely, buy herself things for her work which the city is too poor to get, go to twenty-nine lectures and concerts a year, pay her way to district, county and State institutes, and enjoy herself during a three months' vacation which her salary takes every year. In addition, the teacher is supposed to hoard away vast sums of money, so that when she becomes too nervous and cross to teach, at the age of fifty or thereabouts, she can retire and live happily ever after on her income.?Philadelphia Bulletin.

Fort Mill Girl.in Alaska. The many friends in this city )f Miss Ada White, of Fort Mill, will be glad to know of her pleasant location in Juneau. Alaska, where she has a position as stenographer, savs the Rock Hill Herald. Miss White is a sister of Miss Hester White, of this city, and graduated a few years ago from Winthrop college. Two years ago she went to Seattle, Wash., where she filled acceptably an office position, going only a short time ago to Alaska. A recent letter from her tells most interestingly of this far northern possession of the United States. She describes entertainingly the early sunrise, and the very late and long twilight which, growing gradually longer, will soon continue throughout the night, with conditions very similar to those in the far-famed "land of the Midnight-Sun." Juneau is situated on the coast, and is a town of considerable importance. Here is found the greatest quartz mining belt in the world. The scenery is beautiful and aweinspiring, the lofty mountain tops being covered with snow [throughout the year. Miss White is pleasantly domciled with friends and is thoroughly enjoying her stay. News oMIold Hill. Times Correspondence. The death angel passed over this section this past week and took from our midst the lovely infant daughter of Brother W. H. Crook. The sympathies of the community go out to the family j in their affliction. J. D. Gibson has two very sick children one, an infant, is at the point of death. Mr. Samuel Boyd has been bedfast for over a month and deserves the hefa and sympathy of his neighbors. The small grain crop of this section is quite promising at this time but we learn with regret that the wheat crop is rusting on some farms. A certain weather prognosti cator said some time since that he had never seen the moon run so far north as it had this spring and he said this was a good sign that this would be a good crop year or a bad one, he didn't know which. He is certainly on the safe side. You Yorkville people that are striving to spoil the name of the town, please go slow, now. We helped you build a court house and we feel like we should have a voice in naming the town. Maybe you have got ruffled abci it the gallon-a-month 11 law, if so fight the law, and not the town. Three cheers for Wilson. We are a Wilson man from the log house to Phil's kitchen. Splinter. Gold Hill, May 17. M iss Nell Coltharp and Carl I Johnson, of Charlotte, spent Sunday in Gold Hill with friends. Mr. J. H. Evans, after spending a week in this section with friends, has returned to Yorkviile. The young people of this community went over to the dam last Thursday in a wagon. They enjoyed themselves immensely. Upon their return. Miss Marie Epps gave them a lawn party, which was the best and most enjoyed, we have had the occasion to attend this season. Hyperion Gold Hill, May 18. On account of the absence of Rev. W. A. Hafner, who is attending a meeting of the General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church, at Newport i News, Va., Mr. John A. Hafner, of Chester, will preach at the Fort Mill Presbyterian church the morning of Sunday, May 30.
