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

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

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.

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.
