THURSDAY. APRIL 27. 1916.
Deserves Much Praise.
In another column of The
Times will be found the yearly
report of the retiring treasurer
of the Parent-Teachers' club,
which will open the eyes of
many to the great amount of
work done by this loyal body for
the graded school the past year.
This club, formed just one year
ago. has expended in actual cash
$145.00; has on hand $20.50, and
will within the next two weeks
collect something like $25.00 for
yearly dues. In addition to the
above the club interested the
community in observing a community
service day last fall when
much permanent work was done
on the school grounds, cinder
walks made, and a hedge of
privet set around the circular
walk. They are truly grateful
to the friends of the school who
contributed to the work with
time, hands, teams and brains.
Elegant drinking fountains have
been installed this year in the
school building on both floors,
the walls kalsomined, and the entire
building thoroughly cleaned;

their expense and instance. The
superintendent and teachers are
very appreciative of the efforts
of this splendid organization and
work in perfect harmony with
them in all their plans. Too
much praise cannot be rendered
Mrs. J. T. Young, the retiring
president, for her untiring efforts
to accomplish so mucn of the
work done. We hope that the
friends of the school will continue
to render their aid and advice
to the club and that the
good work will continue un
Good "Biz."
To paraphrase an old adage,
one may be permitted the suggestion
that while there is no
royal road to distinction, the
editors of one or two exchanges
which come to this office have
hit upon a short route?they
print in their papers every
reference they can find in other
papers to themselves. This
brand of journalism is something
new under the sun, but it undoubtedly
adds to the self-esteem i
and importance of the editor
and is edifying and instructive
to the reader. The public ought
to know what a great and smart
man the editor is. Certainly no
one is in quite as good position
to furnish this important information
regularly as the editor
himsel f.
It is to be hoped the day is far
removed in which the members
of the Mutual Admiration Society
of South Carolina Editors
fail to write about each other
and to print in their papers
what the other editor says ol
them. Life in this grand old
commonwealth would hardl.v be
worth the living without the
opportunity to read the pungent
personal paragraphs they spin
each at the expense of 'tother.
The landing a few days ago j
of a large body of Russian j
troops at Marseilles, France, to
assist the French in repelling
the onslaughts of the Germans
was an incident of the European
war which is apt to be construed
as evidence of impending French ;
exhaustion. But that opinion
M--1- - 2 - - * *
liKeiy is incorreci. Admitting
that the French losses have been
large and that the power of
resistance of the nation is not as
great as it was some months
ago, France is yet to be reckoned
with as a mighty foe, which the
Germans, notwithstanding the!
irreparable losses they have inflicted
upon this brave and heroic
people, are seeing visual evi-;
dence of in the heaped-up piles
of their dead as each new day
marks a fresh attack on the
Verdun or other French fronts.
One is safe in saying that for
every two French soldiers who
have fallen in the war, three
Germans have gone down before
the republic's troops to rise no
more.
I
It i3 quite the right thing from
the German point of view for
ths Zeppelins to raid England
and murder by the score helpless
women and innocent children, 1
but when the crew of an English
trawler to save their own throats
from being slit refused to rescue
from drowning the beasts that
manned one of these Zeppelins,
the Bosches cry aloud to the
Almighty and to civilized mankind
to witness the perfidy of
the English people.
Old man Jim Mann, leader of,
the Republicans in the National j
House of Representatives, informs
the country that Woodrow
Wilson, being a Scotch Presbyforion

and is therefore insistent on
working up a war with Germany. I
All of which is so stupid and
inane that thick-headed partisan j
that he is, the old Chicago codger i
must have learned by this time j
that he has made a fool of him- 1
self.
York County News Matters. |,
i 1,
(Clipped from Our Exchanges.fc
Court of general sessions for
York county was busy the past
week and a great deal of work
was accomplished. The trial of
all criminal cases to come up ,
were concluded Friday and tha j j
jurors were discharged Friday
afternoon.
An unusual sight on the streets
of Yorkville last week was a
youn<r man born without arms. 1
Under one arm-pit grew a thumb
nnrl forp-fintror whilo from tlio
other protruded a deformed foot.
The young man was making his
way by selling post cards bearing i
his picture and writing with his j
toes. He gave his name as;
Nummly Tipton. of Finger- I
ville, S. C.
The Supreme court of South
Carolina has refused a re-hearing
in the case of Julian Strait vs.
the city of Rock Hill, in which
case a decision was handed
down on the 4th of March. Mr.
Strait secured a verdict for five
thousand dollars against the city,
for the loss of an arm while employed
in running a rock crusher
for the city.
With the decision recently of
the citizens of Bethel school district
to place a special five mill
tax upon the district for school
purposes, each of the fifty-six
school districts in York county
now has a special levy of from
two to eight mills and York is
the first county in the Piedmont
section of South Carolina to be
able to boast of such a record.

THE FORT M
Serious Times on Border. ?
Mr. B. M. Lee. a former Fort
Mill man. who has been residing
for several years at Finlay,
Texas, near the Mexican border
line, writes The Times as follows
:
''The Mexican situation looks
mighty serious at present. The
Mexicans have little sense and 1
you cannot reason with them at
all. They always believe what
they hear whether it is truth or
not. A Mexican wrote me a
letter a few days ago saying
that he was coming with his men
to raid Finlay and was going to
kill all the Gringoes and burn
the depot. United States secret
service men got him and he is
now in jail. However, we are
not worrying much over the
situation."
Advance of Print Paper.
At the beginning of the year. !
The Enquirer purchased a carload
of the excellent paper on
which this issue is printed, at
slightly less than 4 cents a
pound, and this week, a paper
drummer advised the business
office that he would not be
willing to sell a similar carload
for less than 8 1-4 cents.
There is an advance of more
than 100 per cent in the price of
the white paper The Enquirer
is using and at this time the
stock on hand could be sold at a
prolit of not less than $1,000.?

Mr. P. \j. Wagner, assistant
superintendent of the Millfnrt
Mill, says:
"For nearly 15 years I carried
51,000 life insurance in one of
the fraternal orders at a cost of
516.5(5 per year. A short while
ngo I rt Crived notice that hereafter
my premium woud be
$28.32 per year. 1 declined to
pay it and have taken a policy in
the Union Central Life in which
I find that my net premium at
the end of the first year will be
527.25 for $1,000 not including
premium for disability benefits.
I find that if I had taken a j>o!il\v
in the Union Central at tinlime
1 took the fraternal policy,
my last premium w< uld have
been $14.80 ni d the policy would
now have a cash value of $158 CO
if 1 decided to drop it. In the
:ase of the fraternal policy, I
have nothing to show for all the
years of payment while my advanced
age makes mv premium

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; l>e vigorous and full of ambition.
Rut take no nasty, dangerous
calomel because it makes you sick and
you muy lose a day's work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea and cramping.
