The other fellow is a skunk, of course, until you get to know him. He is your competitor. He uses unfair means to Ret business, cuts prices and produces a low grade of work. All this you say, and more. He trades out his accounts and you suspect he is a porch-climber by j night. Well, you have not anything on him, for while you are thinking these things about him he is probably thinking the same things about you. Consequently you Dotn go about with knives in your boots and blood in your eyes, and you are both Renerally miserable. If you hear that he is cuttinR prices against you, you shut your eyes and slash another chunk out of them to keep the wheels moving. Then some day you meet him qway from the field of battle and voq begin to wonder if he is as black as you have painted him. lie shows signs of being human, and your convictions concerning his night shift begin to waver. Pretty soon he begins to complain to you in confidence that some of your prices are too low. and then light begins to dawn on you: He has been thinking the same things concerning you that you have been thinking aboyt him. If you both have good sense that is the moment which marks the end of your mutual suspicions and distrust and the beginning of co-operation. Give your competitor the benefit of the doubt. He walks and talks like a human being, and for all you know he may need nothing but a hint .that you, too, are human, to make your relations more pleasant and profitable. It is twice as much fun to have your competitor listed among your friends as it is to have him blacklisted amonc vnnr pn<?mioa and it is ten times more profitable.?Ex. Garage and Track Burned.

The Times man, along with hundreds of other citizens of this city and community, would like to see the township supervisor get his force together and put in a day or two days work on the road leading from the incorporate limits to the Catawba river bridge. This road is in very bad shape, and especially so at a point just beyond the home of Mr. W. B. Hoke. There are holes there over which one can scarcely pass with an auto. Riit fVio rnnri na a urhnlp in in urgent need of work. This road is of sand-clay construction and was built by the York county chaingang. It stood up well for a year or more, but the heavy traffic over it and the washing rains have caused ruts in many - places and it is no longer a desirable place to negotiate either for business or pleasure. Proper treatment with a road machine for a couple of days now would save the road and again put in the good shape in which the -L-i I^xa. : A. m ?? Tr- T-riri n iff - n wr? Ttrk Ctuty Newt Natters. I torkville Enquirer.) The Ratchford company of Hickory Grove. York county, has been commissioned by the secretary of State, for a general mercantile business. The proposed capital stock is $4,000. Petitioners are W. Mason McConnell of Yorkville, and Clyde Ratchford of Sharon. Rev. W. R. Bouknight of Fort Mill, is conducting a series of evangelical services at West Main Street Methodist church in Rock Hill. The meeting will continue about two weeks. L. W. Shealy of Chester, a well known evangelistic singer is in charge of the singing in connection with the services.' Grady Canby, a white man about 24 years of age, who has been living at the Lockmore cotton mill for some time past, is in the county jail charged with making improper proposals to a young married woman of the mill village, the wife of a well known operative of the Lockmore. James Thompson, the old negro who was arrested at Lockhart recently for the rr.urder of Isaiah Jeter some fifteen years ago, has been taken to Chester for trial. It turns out that the place of the killing on Mr. W. C. Thomson's place, is just across the York county line in Chester county. Thos. W. Boyd, county supervisor, said Monday that the county commi8ioner8 will go to Wright's ferry on Thursday, where they will meet the Mecklenburg county commissioners for the purpose of locating the bridge to be built over Catawba river somewhere in the vicinity of Wright's ferry. York county will pay one-third of the cost of the bridge. Mr. C. L. Cobb and other interested citizens of Rock Hill, have started a movement for the building of another cotton mill in that city. Mr. Cobb, after a visit to Yorkville on July 4, and seeing what was doing here, wired Mr. Alexander Long, then in New York, and proposed the building of another mill. Mr. Long wired back telling Mr. Cobb to go ahead, that he would stand for half the money. Mr. Cobb and others are "coinir ahead." Automobile license fees for the second quarter of 1919 have been received by the State treasurer from the State highway commission. These fees, collected between April 1 and June 30, amounted to $38,230.15. making an aggregate of $278,755.55 for the first six months. York county's share for the first three months (SO per cent of the amount paid in by the county), was $5,206.80, and for the second three months, $1,069.57, making a total for the first half of the year of $6",276.37.

Camp Jackson will be discontinued as a demobilization camp, according to the pretty well authenticated rumor from Washington, says the Columbia State of Friday. There had been a rumor to that effect for a few hours yesterday, but a communication from Washington seems to have settled the rennrt for a fact This is to go into effect on July 15. As all of the expeditionary forces have already returned except a few scattered remnants here and there, several camps throughout the country have been ordered to give over the demobilization activities and the few remaining soldiers yet to come will be concentrated in a small number of demobilization camps that are still working. The only remaining demobilization camp for this section is; Camp Gordon at Atlanta. All soldiers from southeastern seaboard will be sent there. In each section of the country there will be such a camp. This means the large machinery and personnel of the present camp will go elsewhere. However, the same will not be deserted for besides the regular guards, the Forty-eighth infantry, there will still continue the Transport Corps, the Ordnance Corps, and the Construction division or the army school will in all probability be placed at this camp. The camp 1 will still be a busy place. MAJES11C TUESDAY William Duncan, Popular Serial Star, in "The Man of Might." Ladies and Children Free. STATEMENT.
