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.

^ [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

When a Man Dies
The most worthless asset to
be found in his estate is his
good intentions.
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!
