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

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.
