Have You?
Have you lifted anybody
From the wayside dust today. ]
As you went about your business j
In the old familiar way?
Have you brightened anybody
With the brightness of your smile, j
As you trod your path of duty .
In the old familiar style?
Have you talked to anybody
Through your sunny hours of life
Of the happiness of your labor <
And the sweetness after strife;
Have you tried to make them happy : >
And to blossom and to sing
As the days went by so gently !
With life's sweetness on the wing?
Have you heartened anybody I
With your own heart's joy today j
As they struggled ull around you
In the conflict and the fray?
Have you made the world seem better
As with gladness and with trust
You have lifted someone's spirit
From the shadows and the dust?

Wonder what Mr. Hughes said
on Thanksgiving Day.
One of the suggestions for a j
town slogan read, "Fort Mill, aj
- - ? i _ 1_ _
Humdinger," wnicn we laae is
sort of half brother to a Docksol
ager.
Well, well! We live and learn.
There is a town down in Darlington
county called "Oates."
And they even have a bank
there with a paid up capital of
$8,680.00. May the seasons
prove propitious to the growth
of Oates.
The Times welcomes the members
of Company G. (Fort Mill
Light Infantry), back to fheir
old "camping" ground. We are
proud of the Fort Mill soldiers |1
and, were we able, would show 1'
our aDoreciation of their service
in a much more substantial manner
than by mere words.
Yes, The Times has been
thanked and cussed for its suggestions
last week to city coun- (
cil concerning different matters 11
pertaining to the public welfare.
And we know that it will be, l
interesting information to some |
to know that we still have a
whole hide and a full head of
hair. ;
It does seem that the officials ,
of York and Lancaster counties
would get together and build a ,
bridge across Sugar creek at the i
old Doby's bridge site, which I
could not costv either county . J
more than a few hundred dollars. 1
rather than see the government {
discontinue a daily mail service 1
to scores of the best citizens of 1
the two counties. It looks like (
somebody is "laying on his job"
in this matter.
There are just 14 more shopping
days before Christmas. Do
not put aff any longer preparing
for this event which the world
so greatly enjoys. The stores
are offering their holiday goods,
and are urging their customers
to buy early. Tbe rush during
the days just before Christmas
will be a great trial of endur
ance upon the part oi the salespeople,
and you would confer a
favor upon them by buying early. j
The Rock Hill Record of Monday
is up in arms against the'
management of the York county
fair for . permitting a carnival
troupe to exhibit on the fair
grounds this week, and properly
adds that "There are no good
carnivals. Every last one of
them are subversive of the public's
morals." If the fair man^
in rvnf tmrr nn
il^t'lIICIll 1 aiDici in mi
this class of attractions for the
people of York county, we would
suggest that the wise thing for
the stockholders to do would
he to make a complete change
in the management of the fair. 1

n i ii ^^ _ Pay-Up
Time. g
It is not a pleasure to the pub- P
isher of The Times to "bone" ^
lelinquent subscribers through tj
he columns of this newspaper. C(
ind we are going to ask our tl
>etter paying patrons to excuse a
is for this time, promising them ?
lot to say more along this line a
luring the present year, at ^
east. There are on The Times'
nailing list a number of persons b
who are due for the paper for a ! 0
^ear or more and quite a large s
number who have not paid for ^
the year 1916. It is impossible c
to see all these subscribers in
person, and to mail statements f
to each would call for a con- p
siderable expenditure of cash, e
But a statement is really un- |
necessary. The pink label on
your paper carries the date to
which your subscription was , f
last paid and you owe us from j *
that date to the present. There- ?
fore, you cannot excuse yourself > .
for not paying by saying that t
you didn't know you were in I j
arrears. We can see no good : c
reason why a majority of those j
cowing this paper cannot pay up.
Wages are better than they have I
been in years, the farmers are ] y
getting almost double for their I
products what they did a year \
ago and conditions generally are t
[SO per cent better. In a num- t
| iber
of cases we have observed i jrecently
that delinquents pay [ (
their store accounts, bank notes, i l
etc., and have a sufficitit amount; s
left to get a gallon of liquor, but ]J
they will tell the newspaperman ' ^
that the> are too hard up to pay t
for the paper. There is. how- f
ever, a stopping place to all i r
unholy practices. The publisher \
of The Times has his newspaper j
expenses to pay and a family to (
provide for and he can't do it on ; t
promises. We would rather '
have 500 paid subscribers than 800
that would put off payment, ?
from year to year, and we pre -! ]
pose to get rid of a goodly bunch i
of delinquents if they neglect or "
refuse further to pay for the
paper. We will clean up the list | t
on January 1, next, and if you 5
do not get the paper after that j j.
date, just consult the label on c
the last paper you received and .
it will be unnecessary for you to
ask us why we cut you off. We
hope, however, that you will
pay us what you are honestly
due, whether or not you wish to i c
continue to take the paper.
"Not Guilty," the Verdict. j J
"Not guilty" was the verdict; >i
returned late last Wednesday , s
afternoon by the jury in the
case of the State against Ernest N
Isenhower, Jesse Morrison and ?
James T. Rawls, charged with ^
the murder of Sheriff Adam D.

The ease went to the jury at (
1 o'clock after which court adjourned
for the noon recess,
rhe verdict was returned upon
ihe reconvening of court for the
afternoon session.
The verdict which marked the
ringing down of the curtain on .
the aftermath to the widely
known Fairfield tragedy was
heard in silence by the hundred t
ar more persons present in the
court room, there being no
semblance of a demonstration of J
any kind. During the three j2.
days of the trial there had been j "
few times when the auditorium ; !
was not filled with spectators
Put when the finding of the jury 1
was read by the clerK there were c
many empty seats due to the *
fact that hundreds who had ?
1 olio wed the progress of the j
ease* with unflagging interest
hau not gathered in the court
room, many thinkincr that the
verdict would not be rendered
until later.
