No. 112. Entered at the postoOco at Fort Mill. S. C.. as mail matter of the second class. THURSDAY. NOV. 9. 1916. A Matter of Necessity. Not as a matter of choice, but as a matter of self-preservation. The Times, in common with most other South Carolina papers, finds it necessary to increase its adv??rt.isincr rates, beirinninc with the issue of Thursday, November 16, or to accept the only alternative?go out of business. Practically every newspaper reader is familiar with the enormous increase in cost during the last six months of everything used in the production of newspapers. Of course The Times has not been so fortunate as to be exempt from the very serious additional expense which the other papers of the country have had to meet. Today the cost of publishing The Times is twice what it was a year ago. but up to the present we have refrained from asking that to which we feel we have all along been entitled?fair compensation for our tiffit-lr ? in +I-10 hnno ftiaf nprliarn; something would happen to cause a decrease in the cost of publishing the paper. Now we are convinced that that "something" isn't going to happen and the only means by which the paper can hope to survive is to ask and receive increased compensation for its advertising space, the rate for which has always been too low and has not Koon rrmtorinlli; inoroaspH sinpp the paper was established twenty-five years ago. Why Not Use Slates? Since paper has become so high in price the pads used at school have also become quite an item, says the Anderson Mail, The New York school board has decided to return to the use of slates in the public schools of that city, and it strikes us as a good move. Slates in schools were done away with some years ago when the country was particularly crazy on the subject of sanitation, and the paper pads substituted. This sanitation craze has been carried too far, and it strikes us that doing away with slates is a matter for which no real sensible reason can be given. You can see on the streets of Anderson every day some mighty fine specimens of manhood and who are extremely healthy today, who did all their "cyphering" on a slate, and when they wanted to rub out their "sums" would orvit An f Ka clot u on/1 enl > it stiff o|/iu uii 111^ o i a tv, anvi i uu aw IHU with their coat sleeve. Virginia's "Dry" Law. The prohibition law which went into effect in Virginia November 1st is said to be the most drastic ever passed by a State legislature. Under the measure no beverage except cider can be sold that shows a trace of alcohol, and possession of more than one gallon of whiskey, one gallon of wine, or three gallons of beer would be regarded as prima facie evidence of intent to violate it. This provision will probably receive an early test in oourt. vast quantities of liquor having been stored in private homes during the past few days by those wishing to guard against the dry future. Now that the smoke of the political battles has cleared away, perhaps we can get down to bu. iness and dig up a little more prosperity for our communiiy. We have whooped it up for our favorite candidates and given them the benefit of our influence and votes, all of which th< y will promptly forget. If we are equally energetic in whooping it up for our local community we may accomplish some de inite and anjgibte results that will fanag prosperity this way. It makes no difference who or what you are, this town has done more for you than you have done for it. You may be rich, or you may be poor, or just in moderate circumstances, but in either case your home town has done much for you that you have never recognized or repaid. This statement is worthy of serious consideration by every citizen who believes in giving as he receives. If you give it the con-' sideration it deserves you will get busy right away anu uo your full share towards making this a bigger and better and more prosperous town in every way. The city officials should make a thorough investigation of the several shows located in White ! ville Park and if any are found to be of a questionable character they should be closed up at once. Vast numbers of new dimes have been put into circulation, but bring along the old ones. We'll take 'em dirt and all. November's advent brought peace in Europe one month nearer. But, O Lord, how many jears? Every time the dove of peace tries to light in Mexico the buzziirds scare it away. t i ^ i Wilson Succeeds Himself. | With incomplete returns up to 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon it appeared that Woodrow Wilson had defeated Chas. E. Hughes by about ten electoral votes for president in the general election held throughout the country Tuesday. At that hour j I it appeared that the next senate | would be Democratic, but the ! house was still in doubt. The ! Republicans early Tuesday night claimed the election of Hughes, ; but later returns from the Western states showed Wilson crnins and it was claimed by the Democratic headquarters that their candidate would outstrip Hughes when the final returns were in hand. York County News Matters. (Yorkville Enquirer.) Four persons, all negroes, were committed tQ the State hospital for the insane from York county ; during the month of October. County Treasurer Harry E. Neil has begun his annual round of the county for the purpose of I collecting taxes. Mr. Neil re! plied in the negative when asked | the other day if people were paying their taxes as promptly and in as larire numhers this year as usual. Julian L. Strait, who waselec-, ed coroner in 1914 to fill out the unexpired term of L. VV. Louthian, deceased, has resigned, the resignation taking effect last Wednesday. Mr. Strait will accompany the family of his father, Mr. J. W. Strait, to Warren, Arkansas, where Mr. Strait and sons have purchased a farm. The governor has commissioned Ccroner-elect J. H. McManus to fill out the unexpired term of Coroner Strait. Friends of Dr. J. W. Campbell of Clover, who is a captain in the medical corps of the South Carolina regiments stationed at } Fort Bliss, near El Paso, Texas, i have recently received letters from him in which he states that j he has no reason to believe that the South Carolina troops will be ; ordered home at any time in the near future. "I thought for a while that we would be home surely before Christmas," Dr.! Campbell writes a friend, "but I developments of the past few days caused me to change my opinion." Dr. Campbell is in unusually good health and is fairly well satisfied with soldier life. Schedule of Services Fort Mill Circuit of M. E. Church, South, for the Year 1916.
