What do you think of that roller mill proposition that The Times spoke of last week? If you think it isn't needed, please communicate with the editor; if you think it is needed, talk it abroad and let's have the mill in time for the next wheat crop. rPU/a%?ft so wtiuiU on/iAin'Oirnmniil A 11CI U ID 111 Ut 11 ^IIWUI O^VlllVlil j in the fact that the death rate from consumption in this country is steadily decreasing. In 1880 the death rate from this disease was 320 per one hundred thousand of population, hut in 1913 it was reduced to 146.6 per hundred thousand. The Abbeville Press and Ban ner, Wm. P. Green, editor, is one of the South Carolina weeklies that has recently made improvements which are little short of wonderful. The paper is neatly printed, brimming: full of good editorial and news matter and is a great credit to the publisher. The Rock Hill Record says that the reason Yorkville has the new court house is because the Rock Hill people stirred the Yorkville people up from their slumbers. We had always had a feint suspicion that the county seat people by some hook or crook administered a dope to the Rock Hill voters which put them soundly asleep on election day. else the new court house would now be located in the "Good Town." Ex-Governor Blease is quoted ns having said among other things in an address at Filbert Thursday that "the administration at Washington is not Democratic. It is not a gove rnment of the people, and Wilson is n< friend of the South." It is well known that the ex-governor is not an admirer of the president and one would not, therefore, expect Mr. Blease to say things complimentary of Mr. Wi'son. However, in view of the pr< sident's actions with regard to this government's attitude toward the warring nations, there are a great many people in (he South who aKree with the exgovernor's statement at Filbert. Someone has said that this country should "give Germany the boot." To be sure this country could do it, and not unlikely it may have to, but it would mean great cost of money and precious human life. The whole matter is so complex that the greatest wisdom is needed in directing the path this nation! has to travel. It ought to make! many people re-a^jce, as they do not at present, that President! Wilson and the government have no holiday time of it, that I patience should he exercised and the sympathy and support of all be accorded in this hour when the controversy with European powers on the one hand, and the anarchy in Mexico on the other hand present a problem this nation has never before been called to face. i PEN THRUSTS. i Contributed. r All energetic, conscientious, c and right-thinking people can tj not fail to see the inevitable and 1 insurmountable necessity of edu- c eating the coming generation more thoroughly and of giving them a learning and training that will excel even that of our | best scholars of today. As we advance in civilization and as we are steadily marching to greater re9po*nsibility,'if is expedient for us to prepare our children to take up the work where we leave j off and carry it gloriously and skillfully onward. We should bear in mind that, as Woodrow Wilson's duties and responsibilities are tenfold mierhtier and heavier than Thomas Jefferson's ever had 1 time to be, so will it be with the * next generation. It takes well iraim. "nds to solve the mighty * problems that are continually * arising in State and nation, and to carry the great responsilility of steering this United States of ( America thru the great whirling { mass of worldly sinfulness and to keep her on solid ground. When it comes to iliiterac , South Carolina is at the bottom ! f the ladder, but we feel safj in raying that she will not remain there much longer. The last Assembly made a step in the right direction in passing the local compulsory bill. But this act was not broad enough. It would have gone a long ways further toward eliminating iHit-" eracy in the grand old Palmetto State had it been a statewide law. And, again, we fail to see why our lawmakers have not seen to it that the Bible be introduced into our st h >ols as a required study. The man of the future will be determined by the school of today, and of what use is knowledge unless it be backed up by character? We rejoice that we perhaps have the greatest man tl e United States has ever produced it the helm of this old Ship of j State, but let us not forget that j we will no doubt need a greater man 50 years hence, and that the only way to produce such men is to improve our educationil facilities.

Hughes of the Fort Mill section of the Southern Railway is receiving deserved praise nowadays upon the improved appearance of the grounds around the local passenger station. Mr. Hughes is a great lover of shade trees, shrubbery and flowers and these form an important part in the said improvements. Speaking of his work along this line the Southern Railway Bnlletin of recent issue has this to say: "Section Foreman E. L. ! Hughes of Fort Mill is responsi- j ble for many attractive im-) provements on the grounds surrounding the station building on his section. The latest of these is a triangular flower garben on the southwest side of the track at Fort Miil. This garden is surrounded by a hedge of privet. In the centre of the largest flower bed he has installed a fountain to supply moisture at any time it is needed. 1 Mr. Hughes began work with the company in April, 1895, as a laborer and in September of the same year was promoted to j [section foreman." 1; A Happy Reunion.
