How We Hurt Ourselves.
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.
Daughters Elect Officers.

of the Fort Mill chapter of

Belk.
It has been the custom of the

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.

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.

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.

Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian

Fort Mill Presbyterian church
the morning of Sunday, May 30.
