Help your school and you help your town; help your town and you help yourself. Tomorrow morning the men and women of Fort. Mill and community will assemble at the local graded school to contribute a day's woik toward bettering the appearance of the building and grounds. I is the purpose of those behind the movement to have the ladiet thoroughly renovate the interioi of the building, while the mer will put in the day clearing the grounds of all rubbish, building sand and cinder paths from tin streets to the building, making suitable street crossings, filling in low places on the grounds, etc. The ladies wiil furnish dinner for the crowd. '1 he schooi building and grounds are very much in need of attention, and it is hoped that all patrons and friends of the school will he on; hand tomorrow morning to assist in the work which has been mapped out. Many Fort Mill citizens art wondeiing why lie Sou.hen Railway should have put lit town back in the village class by j erecting a mail crane near the ! local station. All the trains i stop here anyway, and we can't | see the sense in put iir g thepostoilice people to the trouble ol tying a mail sack on a crane, when it could be handed on the train with much more ease. The practice indulgidin daily j hy many people of crowding uj to the sll?0? III* tin* innnniin.. I trains and gelli lg in iho way oi those who wish to alight 01 ' board the trains, should bt : stopped. We don't know wheth- > er the town has an ordinance ! prohibiting this practice, bu.t if j it has, the ordinance should be enforced. Persons having Christinas! packages to send through the mails, should not wait until the; last minute to place them in the postoffice. This often causes; congestion of the mails and is a great hindrance to the mail people in promptly and properly despatching the packages. That "building" ordinance printed in another column of The Times is a somewhat voluminous affair, but inasmuch as it is of equal importance to property owner, renter and would-be builder, it will bear careful rending by all. "Gym ' Nearly Complete. Announcement that the new gymnasium at Winthrop college is almost finished arid will be ready lor use in about two more months will be of inU rest to the thousands of friends of that institution throughout the Slate. The appropriation for the new gymnasium was due largely to the work of Representative W. It. Bradford of York, a member of tne house ways and means committee, who got the item safely through and kept a weather ye on it limit the governor signed the appropriation act with this in the bill. Columbia Record. I T Something is Prohibiting. The United States internal rev* J mue report for the fiscal yeat af 1915 reveals the fact that the number of persons taking out government tax receipts as reail liquor dealers was 12,295 less than the previous year, making at $25 each a decrease of $375,278. Wholesale liquor dealers' tax receipts decreased 672. Dealers at wholesale in mall liquors decreased 1.233, and special tax receipts fell oft' 2,070, making: a total of 16,270 fewer government tix receipts for the year 1915 than for 1914. The report shows, further, that the tax levied on makers of stills and on manufactured stills and worms amounted to less than half the sum of the year before. Thus it would seem that John Barleycorn is steadily losing to tne torces which arc arrayed against him. Bender Made Much Money. Quite a number of people are spending their days feeling sorry for "Chief" Render, the I11lian ballplayer, but after perusing the financial record of Bonier, we feel that he's entitled to just, about as much sympathy as is .John I). Rockefeller, says a oaseball writer. Bender began professional ball n 1908, at which time his salary was only $2,000, but during the years that followed he was coninually boosted. By process of nathematics one arrives at the conclusion that Bender, over a 12-year stretch, drew down $54,000 in salary. In addition to that he shared in five world's series games, and since 1908 it is figured that he has taken unto himself the sum total of $71,784 for baseballing, and probably $8,000 more in "side issues" such as newspaper writings. All o! which makes Bender's average income for 18 years about $6,000. A Pleasant Affair. An oy. ter supper was given Friday evening, Nov. 20th, ai flio /.f M vi? i r> 1IUI1IV.
