C.. ns mall matter of the second cluss. THURSDAY. JULY 15, 1915. Why We Missed. It is generally known locally why The Times failed to appear last week, but for the benefit of our readers at a distance it may he stated that the publisher of the paper was sick a-bed for four days, and as we haven't an assistant to take up the various duties which fall the part of the publisher, it was impossible to irot the paper out. We trust that such a condition will not pass this way soon again. What some people call principle is nothing hut opinion held with a good deal of self-conceit. Bad habits begin with all the softness of a cobweb, but they | attain the strength and un-1 bieakableness of a massive chain. What a lot of trouble and scandal would be avoided in this life if fewer family affairs were told across the fence to the, neighbors. It is rathe? incongruous to! er? ct a costly monument over the remains of a ten-cent husband. hut perhaps it is out of gratitude for a timely deliverance. If you are doing something goon ior your town uon i imagine that you are doing everything. There are others who are also putting their shoulders to the wheel and doing their j>art. It is popularly sup|>osed that some nations have mole courage than others, but in the present conflict each of the wairing nations has shown equal courage and the tenacity and porseverence of each has been no less marked. This country, mure than any other country perhaps, is founded upon the common people, and it is to them it must look for the conduct of affairs, ar.d for the stability and permanence of its j institutions. This demands that1 the people be intelligent, educated and well balancad. It is therefore reassuring that every year thousands of well trained and educated young people are graduated from the high schools and colleges of the land to enter - .. upon life's duties and prepare ihomaolt/pr tr? in t im?> t'lto tVin place of their elders in business, politics and other walks of life. When some celebration is-to' take place in a town, a church be built, a free library to be established, or some new enterprise started, the business inen of the place are always looked to for financial help, and they1 invariably give it. Whoever heard of a mail order house doing it or contributing in any way to the upbuilding of the place? All they care about is to take as much money out of it as possible and give nothing back beyond the goods sold. That is something patrons of those houses ought to think over and act accordingly, but usually folks j that habitually buy of mail or-i i I der houses care little a3 to whether their home town sinks or swims so long as they think they can buy of such houses an , article a fraction of a cent less: than they can buy of their home merchant. Two women were charged in a municipal court with theft. One was-a little .nasi middle a?e mid her crime was the stealing of $6 worth of finery. It was her first offense but she received a sentence of four months in the county jail. The other woman, young and beautiful, was charged with obtaining $40 from thelocal bank under false pretenses. It was not her first offense by any means; in fact she was wanted in other cities for the same offense. But an exemption was made in her favor, in that she was enabled to appear through her attorney and not in person. She received a sentence of eleven months but was paroled to a county institution for a small ur/iol/lu cnm A n/i irof if- ie coi^ ?? v v?\i j uuiu. rxuu j vt it 10 poivi the law is no respecter of persons and that all are equal before the law. That is true in theory but not always in practice. When one is young and pretty as a woman, or, if a man, has influential friends, justice sometimes has one eye closed instead of seeing openly and impartially, and favor is shown. Railroad Crossing Accidents. Mr. Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern Railway Company, has had printed for distribution amonir the neonle throughout the territory of the Southern's lines, a placard giving warning of the danger constantly to be encountered at the grade crossing. Mr. Harrison has compiled a list of iccidents occuring td automobiles at grade crossings during the year ended June 30, and the result ought to make the public- take pause. In Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina. Tennessee and Virginia there were 09 grade crossing accidents, North Carolina leading with 27. Twelve people were killed. 58 were injured and 69 machines were demolished. Largest Crop Ever Produced. The United States cotton crop for 1914, the largest ever produced reached 16,134,930 equivalent 500 "pound bales, according to the government's final census report, announced Thursday. in addition. the linters amounted to 791,464 bales. Texas produced more than one-fouth the crop, Georgia onesixth 2,718.037 bales. These States with Alabama, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Mississippi produced more than four-fifths of the entire crop. South Carolina's total was 1.533,810 bales, and Mississippi 1,245,535. Ellis county Texas, was the banner cotton county with 134,714 bales. Their Salaries Reduced. The postoftice department at Washington has just announced its annual re-adjustment of salaries. In seven cases salaries have been decreased, while in twenty-three others they have been raised. An increase in the salary of the postmaster means the business of the office has been increased during the year. A decrease in salary means that the business of that office has decreased during the year. Two York county offices, Rock Hill and Fort Mill, suffered a decrease in salary. The pest- | master at Rock Hill received $2,700 la^t year and will be paid only $2,000 this year. Fort Mill's postmaster received a salary of $1',400 last year and will receive only $1,300 during the present year. The salary of the postmaster at Blacksburg has been reduced from $1,200 to $1,100. ? Yorkville Enquirer. J The best price offered for cotton on the local market today is 81-2 cents. * W MRS. MEEK.
