The Times has not yet given up hope of inducing some one or more Fort Mill men to put up a roller mill in this place. In fact, we realize now more than ever the need of such an enterprise in our town. Rock Hill, according to the newspapers, has no roller mill, but the press of that city is attempting, just as The Times is doing in Fort Mill, in induce the neonle to build one. It was related in the press news a few days ago that a soljd car of wheat grown by farmers in the vicinity of Rock Hill had been sold ur.d shipped to a North Carolina mill. Now, it is reasonable to say that had a roller mill been in operation either in Rock Hill or Fort Mill, a large part of that shipment of wheat would have, been ground at home for home consumption. As in other sections of the county. there are many bushels ol t.aground wheat in this vicinity and, without ^facilities for converting it into flour, our farmers, t o, may hi" compelled to hunt a market and sell the grain at whatever price they can secure f r it. We don't know whether the town of Lancaster has a flour mill, but granting that it has, a mill located in Fort Mill would have a radius of something like fifteen miles from which to draw patronage, and if this wide expanse of territory would not seem to auger success for such enterprise, why, we are at a loss to contemplate what would. If Rock Hill goes ahead and builds a flour mill, it would not seem the proper thing to establish a like enterprise in Fort Mill; neither do we believe a mill would be put in operation in Rock Hill were there an up-todate mill here. It would, therefore, seem that the town which gets in first on the proposition is the town which will reap the benefits of the profits from the mill, as well as extra trade brought in by persons patronizing the mill. Fort Mill has the building, cheap power to operate the machinery, and the time to act is now. Name the Falib c.n rs The Winnsboro News and Herald of last Thursday comes to our desk and in going over its columns, says the Rock linl R'-cord, we discovered something that we do not think we have ever noted from a newspaper before, and that is there is not as tar as we can iind after looking very closely, an advertisement 01 any, Winnsboro bank, or store in the paper. VVe cannot understand how a thing of this kind could occur. Is there no live piogxessive business people in , Winnsboro ai ail? it may l>e that they are at outs with the, newspaper peopl , if this is the case he should either gt i together with them or close out his place and move. If the .banks and merchants of his town are so unprogressive that they won't advertise, then the quicker the i newspaper closes its career in ine town the belter oil' the newspaper owner will be. ' - - f* i " * | A town is just what its citizens 11 make it. The town may have * all the natural advantages pos- j sible, but if its people have no j t civic pride and no public spirit the town will never amount to much. This country affords $ many instances of places of that $ i , .1 . . . ....IE cnaracter mat nave neen leir i high and dry in the progress of events because their inhabitants I a did not care a red cent whether ? ihe plc.ce lived or died. On the R other hand, if a town is happily h peopled bv alert and progressive men and women, intent upon its ^ prosperity, that place is bound to grow, even if it have but few natural advantages. All ^ over this land towns have sprung j n up and become the centers of; r activity and success, for the simple reason that wideawake people with good red blood in ( their veins pushed things and r won out. v ii An Innovation. Not satisfied with the ordinary methods of doing business, the j s enterprising Mills & Young firm are constantly striving to make improvements which will add attractiveness to their big department store and at the same time make the place more convenient and comfortable for their customers. The firm is now located in its handsome new quarters and has given the town an innovation in the erection of a ladies' "rest room" in the rear j of the dry goods department. The room is of ample size to accommodate a number of ladies at one time; is furnished in the same manner as the ordinary dressing room of the home, and is a convenience which has been needed and which, no doubt, will be taken advantage of and duly appreciated by the ladies of Fort Mill and vicinity. The firm : extends a cordial invitation to the ladies to meet their friends in the store and make the "rest room" their headquarters. Time for College Soon. Now that your boys and girls j lie talking about getting ready ; to go to college, says an exchange, it is a good plan to prepare for their departure. Fix them up as good as you can and make things pleasant for them so that they will be in a good humor when they leave home. If hey know you are worried to leath-to know how you are going to meet their expenses, they won't be in near as good trim to tAke an education as they would !u> if I llPV tViriiin-Kr mn ivlnrl Viivu^aiw jv/vi ?* VI V ^IOU i to send them off and didn't be-1 grudge the money it takes.
