C "The Times" Changes Hands. With the current issue, the Fort Mill Times passes into the n 'control of Messrs. W. R. Brad- n ford and J. J. Baiies, both well ? known citizens of the communi- n ty. For several years I have r< wished to dispose of the paper w because of other interests which ? drew so heavily upon my time, ri making it impossible for me to m ES give the paoer the attention it deserved. I* retiring from the e ownership of The Times I can- h not forego the opportunity to J thank those who have so loyally a supported the paper during the v many years I have conducted it. h I bespeak for the new owners the support I am sure their efforts h to give the people of the town ? and county a first class paper will merit. B. W. Bradford. ?? - * # ah ounce 01 periormance is g worth a ton of promise, but it may not prove amiss for the 8 publishers of The Times to state tjiat it is their purpose to improve r &ie paper as rapidly as possible. v We purpose to make The Times t an all home print paper within a r few weeks and to otherwise improve its appearanee and newt i service. v c The Lecsl Water Shortage. ^ It is to be hoped that the Public Works Commission of Fort Mill is contemplating steps to t provide against a repetition of the serious inconvenience to y which householders and business n *concerns of the town were put during a part of Christmas b week by their inability to secure h watdflr from the city mains. Since the municipal waterworks plant J was established several years ago e many of the open wells then in use in Fort MilLhave either been j abandoned or the water in tbem ii drawn off so infrequently as to * render it unfit for domestic pur mi .? ' J muscs. mere was inereior no ? way for manv to obtain water ? without availing themselves of the hospitality of less unfortu- f nate neighbors whose open wells i were still in use. i If it be true, as has been stated, that the deep wells over c f which the Public Works Commis- n sion has control are capabje of \ supplying a hundred thousand gallons of water daily, it wolud j seefrt that these wells should be ^ pressed into capacity service, not only to meet the needs of those b who have city water connections p but also to afford protection d against fire, Fort Mill not being immune to this danger, as those J who buy fire insurance here are J able to testify. A* to School Boolu. I Every time we across a * three or four syllable word in an approved text book fot use in c the lower grades of the public J schoolb we conclude thai the ?& '* author had about sense enough v to do manual labor, and no more. > and that the State Board ol r n7. x Education failed in its duty when I it neglected to reject the book. 1 The educatiom of'the children of f the State is a serious matter and r every book offered for use in the public schools should bo ex- p amined with the greatest care, r If this has been done in the past, 1 then the selection of some of the e approved text books bespeaks a g degree of intelligence on the t part of the State Board of Edu- I cation akin to the stupidity of t the authors. ^ A t Delegation to Meet. f Governor CoOpor has requested Sen- I ator J. E- Bearaguard to eall a meeting & of the York county legislative delega- C tion early in January to consider pro- ? potted good roads legfclatkm to come at the sesaion of the General Aasembiy / which meets on January 13. It is pre- t -umed that Governor Coeper'a request B wiU be complied with. j ad Hhfold H. Hmj&JtSfaad, N. E3|tf?lMwfed ^Ghwral 8?tor ay? December 80.
