Why Prices Are High. j
The merchants of the city state I
that the trade is raising a kick I
about the high prices of things. I
We don't blame them for kick- (
ing, generally speaking, but they (
might as well adapt themselves j
to conditions and make up their :
minds that if they get the goods
they are going to have to pay
the price for them. No doubt ,
there is a hold-up 011 practically 1
every line, but let us impress the 5
fact on you that it is not the retail
merchants. To illustrate this j
the Dry Goods Economist, issued '
in the interest of the merchants j
of the couniry to keep them post- I
eu on business conditions in their
lines, gives the following:
"This week a very large buy- >
er wanted a few dresses at $25
and was obliged to pay $37.50 i
for them, and careful figuring 1
was necessary to bring the goods
even within the higher prices."
It is a perplexing question, i
Prices so high, consumption cut
down by the high cost of every-1
thirg and the unsatisfactory;
crop conditions make life in the
mercantile business very perplexing,
indeed. Then, to have the 1
trade come in and think that the
merchants are putting prices
higher of their own accord makes
it still more so. We want to assure
the trade that the local merchants
are not responsible for
this rise of prices and they really '
are getting less profit now than
they were at normal times, be-;
cause they just feel like they j

that they should in order to justify
what they are having to pay
additional for the Roods they are
selling you. It is not only one
line but every line.? Exchange.
Common Seme Policy.
Kansas is the first state to bar
the drinker from holding public
office. The civil service commission.
at the suggestion of
Govt rnor Capper, incorporated
this ruling in the new law. j
"Most of the big corporations I
and other large employers have
adopted the policy of not em-,
ploving drinking people." said
the Governor in his letter to the ,
Commission. "In my judgment |
a state can well afford to follow
in such footsteps."
One need not be much of a
seer to predict that civil govern-,
rnent all over the country,
national as well as state and
municipal, will soon "standardize"
its business system in like
manner. Even the anti-prohibitionist
can recognize the
value of total abstinence as a
business asset.
The United States congress
did the public a great service
when it removed the stamp tax.
The cost to the average citizen
was small, but the trouble of
hunting up a stamp for each
little business transaction caused
it to be nothing short of a
nuisance.
Roxed up as it is, the hell at
the local school is of little service
in notifying pupils and
patrons of the school hours.
Why not erect a belfry on top of
the building in order that the
hell may be heard over town? i

jrief service was conducted by

jlot in the center of the churchward.
Work Day for Orphanages.
Attention once more is called
:o the Orphanage Work Day j
:hat has been announced for
September 30 next. Appeals
have gone out from the various
institutions to Sunday Schbol
superintendents and all others
who are likely to be interested
in the project. Emphasis might
be given to the fact that Sunday
School and church people are
not the only ones who could take
part in such a deserving work.
The destitute and helpless orphan
should appeal to every
individual within our State. |
Contributions may be sent to
any institution that one may
prefer. It certainly looks as if
any person might afford to give
one day out of the year as
Labor Day for the orphan children
and contribute the results j
of the day. or the income of the
day, to their care and training.
It is to be hoped that thousands j
and thousands of our people will
co-operate in the Work Day
effort.
The News of Gold Hill.
Times Correspondence.
Having seen nothing in The
Times from Gold Hill in quite a
while we concluded to let you
know that we are still kicking;
hut not high.
The farmers have begun picking
cotton, but the crop of both
corn and cotton is light and
lighter. Some are deeply concerned
about where their bread
is r.o come from another year.
Well, we console ourselves by
the fact that if we can't get
meal to make bread, we can
just bake ashcakes, for we will
all live till we die, anyway, if a
tree don't fall on us.
An emigrant train passed up <
this road recently on its way to :
the plant of the Catawba Power
Co.. and Mr. Fred Nims has
been running a freight train on ,
iL*. i r i * i
im.s roau ior several uays, dul
his engine makes such a racket ;
that it has scared some of the
neighbors cows so that they
wont come up to be milked, and
if he doesn't hitch a passenger
coach to that engine we may .
prefer charges against hirn for
creating a disturbance in Gold
Hill.
And now, Little Colie, run ,
along home Hud, curry old Nell, ?
hitch her to your little waggy,
haul up some stove wood and do |
your doggondest, badblamdest, (
allfiredest, level Pest to be good
and we will intercede with your ,
Uncle Manning in your behalf ,
and he may give you some candy
Christmas and it may be possible |
that he will let you run for, j
constable some time. Won't ]
that be nice for you, if you do
get beat.
There was a couple of auto j
gents drove up this road some
days ago and inquired of an old j
negro woman the way to Fort <
Mill. She pointed to an old
field and says: "I spec he lib
down dar some whar." We
don't know whether they found
where he lib or not. Now, we
would suggest that the mayor
of Fort Mill put up a sign pointing
to the old field in which he
lib and not have travelers running
all over the township hunting
up the field in which he lib.
There has been a new road
graded from the public square
to the dam and if any of you
auto gents of Fort Mill wish to
see this new road just drive in
here and take us in and we will
show it to you, and besides it
will be of much benefit to you
to ride a piece with a gentleman,
anyway. Splinter. (
From the fact that the fall i
session of the State Supreme
Court is now only a few weeks |
sfT and the tribunal of last re- j
sort has not yet handed down an ,
opinion in the "ill-shaped coun- t
ty" case it is generally believed
:hat the court is divided and '
:hat as usual in such situations j
in en banc session will be called '
