Editor Times: Your comment on my recent article under the caption. "Business, but No Meal," was written in such a pleasant, humorous vein and CV1UCI1UJ 111 OUVI1 ^uuu opixit ! that I've been tempted to read , it over several times. While your claims for your intensely wide-awake and thoroughly upto-date town are somewhat in j the nature of a revelation to one , on the outside, yet I cheerfully accept it at its face value and beg leave to congratulate you ; and rejoice with you upon your almost unparalled material growth and prosperity. ! However, facts are awfully stubborn things, and the stubborn fact remains, stern and 1 immovable, that on Sept. 3rd 1 Fort Mill was mealless and J. B. Cook, superintendent of the York ' county chaingang, was obliged to order 12 bushels of meal from i away over here at Tirzah. Every merchant runs out of ; meal. But who ever heard of ' all the merchants in a town, | especially suui an emei pi inmg i town as Fort Mill, being out of meal at one time? ? i "0, it was pitiful! Near a whole city full," Meal they had none! ,j Merchants of Fort Mill what say you? Don't all speak at 1! once. W. S. Gordon. 1 Tirzah, Sept. 18. ^ [Granting that you are correct, t Mr. Gordon, we know of no : answer to the above question - other than it is indicative of the ifact that Fort Mill merchants buy stuff and sell it, while the t merchants of your town buy stuff t and keep it on hand.?Editor r TimesJ The MAJESTIC TO-DAY j Florence Turner In "A Welsh Singer," 5,000 feet of exquisite photo- I play, the scenes being laid in Sunny Scotland.

You INTEND to take life insurance, or MORE life insurance some day. Take a policy TODAY in the Union Central Life, Of Cincinnati, and create at once a valuable estate by the payment of only two or three per cent on its value. If yon are under 30 years of age, five cents a day will pay for $1,000 of life insurance?the price of a cigar or cold drink. Think of it! C. S. Link, FORT MILL. S. C.
