No. 1X2. Kntereri at the oostofllce at Fort Mill. 8. C..af mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY. JAN.V16, 1919. Thorn aro at nrooonf a Mlimhpr of cases of influenza in Fort Mill and we hear that there is talk of again placing the town under quarantine. Such a step should be taken immediately it becomes necessary, but we don't believe the disease is. yet prevalent to that extent. And, as to quarantine, we don't believe the kind of quarantine which Fort Mill had a short time ago is worth a tinker's dam in stamping out the disease. Our idea of an effective quarantine would be to place each home in which the disease appeared under quarantine and compel the inmates to remain indoors until there was no danger of communicating\the disease to others. The idea of closing the churches, schools and shows and allowing halfsick people to walk the streets and congregate in the stores, at soda fountains and in the postoffice is about the poorest excuse for a quarantine that one could imagine. Roads are not built nowadays for pleasure. There may have been a time, a decade or two ago, when good roads were of the greatest value to joy riders, but that was before the business and transportation were done largely in motor vehicles. The road question is no longer one of joyriding. In this connection the Spartanburg Herald sized up the matter most admirably a few days ago when it said: "To-day roads are needed not for sightseers. Roads were not built between Spartanburg and Camp Wadsworth for the benefit of sight-seeing visitors and the pleasure of the automibilists. They were built because the thousands of men at the camp could not be fed without roads. The same was true of every other camp. The road situation was of first importance." W. R. Bradford, of Fort Mill, now beginning his third term as a member of the House of Repre sentatives from York county, was appointed yesterday chairman of the ways and means committee?the committee having the direction of the fiscal policies of the State in the lower house and therefore of all the committees the most important. About 28 years ago the late David E. Finley, subsequently State senator and member of the national house, filled this post and Mr. Bradford is the first member from York to hold it since his service. The Times is pleased to see one of its former editors thus honored. We predict that there wiil be no extravagant expenditures by the State government if Mr. Bradford can have his way. His many friends in this city and section were shocked to learn Thursday afternoon of the death at Lancaster of Frank W. Hunter. The cause of death was pneumonia following influenza. Mr. Hunter was some years ago a resident of this city, holding a responsible position at the time with the Fort Mill Manufacturing Co. He was about 35 years of age and was married less than a year ago to Mrs. Effie Culp Thompson, of this city, by whom, with his ' parents, he is survived ? /."V.v- ' ' - , v'r He's Coming?T1 Chaplin HE VERY BIGGES' re, One Day Onl York County News Natters. (It orfc vill* Enquirer.) Mr. J. R. Kelly has established a jitney line between Yorkville and Rock Hill. Mr. Kelly said yesterday that he proposed toI Rive first-class service and take: care of all the patronage that might develop. He will use one car regularly and put on others if the requirements seest to jus| tify. j It now develops that the death ! of. Tom Woods, near Hickory * Grove, not long ago, was due r more to murder than suicide, as was commonly supposed at the > time. Mqjr Bell Meadows, cc'S ored, 25 years old, told two other negro women that she killed Woods, and on learning of the matter. Magistrate R. L. A, Smith committed all three to jail, the Meadows woman for murder and the other two as witnesses. For Vocatioial Trailing. Editor Times: We should all support the State superintendent of education in his plan to have vocational training n*rt of our system of education to aa to lead out the latent talents in our boys. The resources of South Carolina lay largely in the handiwork of the people. The skill that 'each and all attain will determine the commerce produced and the wealth accumulated. The possessions we acquire and the means we accumulate depends entirely upon our ability to make the ra* material we have into a finished product, the finer we can finish it the greater our competence, the more the producer wiU prosper and the community progress. Of course all will not accumulate sash, some will save while others will live with lsas thought of tomorrow but before there can be added to either there must be a gresTtar difference between the value of the things we finish than when wt begun to make them. To produce commerce is the only way for a community to accumulate wealth. Let induadustry lag then it ia lean for all. Everyone should aupport and encourage the industries adapted to their section. We all know that the Piedmont has cotton at hand and water power flowing from a thousand hills. Then duty determines that we train our hands to skill and apply them to the opportunities so abundant about us. The Piedmont section to a man should back the Stats superintendent of education in this proposition so opportune to its future progress and prestige. To make every boy a craftsman, a master at the work his hands And to do and thus "lift labor into art" should be the aim of everyone in the Piedmont. This is not the plan of the Stat* superintendent only but it is also the plan proposed by one of the ablest secretaries of the cabinet and strongly endorsed by President Wilson. It will be a going proposition. We should ge*. in the boat before it leaves the bank. In fact, all should be ready to help shove ker in and see to it that the plan is put across.
