"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
