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^

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.
