Ttilnjs Worth While Not long ago we overheard a well known Fort Mill woman, a worpan who is in charge of a home, sighing that she never seemed to be able to do "anything worth while." It recalled many times when we have talked with men whb felt their Ifves were empty because they had not done something of which the world took notice. We want to say that the woman who manages and directs a house, makes a home for some iqat), has children and tj?insand eaucaies mem to De goou anu useful citizens does more for the world than the woman who makes a name for herself in literature, art., science or the professions now open to them. And we know of nothing that requires more ability, greater sacrifice and harder work than to be a real homemaker, a true l^lpmate to a man. or a good mother. As long as we do any honorable task, no matter how humble it may seem to us, our lives are *Worth while and we are doing something for mankind. For it takes real work and a sincere worker to do well the common things of life. If you are doing the usual and ordinary things, and you are contented to be doing them to tthe best of your ability, it does not follow that you are a failure because the world does not shout your name from the housetops. The world knows, or at least > i . i i* > l 11 L ?_L itnat part or tne woria wnicn means most to you, knows you are a success ?and that part of the world which means most to you is your husband, your children, your "relatives and your neighbors. Great Men. In the smkll towns and in the country there are thousands of great men who are never heard of fifty miles from their homes. Take a ride through a farming community And when you have a big house pointed out to you. the owner of which successfully farms several hundred acres of land, you have found an unknown great mart, y ' And yon may ride from one end of the country to the other and you will never be long outof sight of the homes of great. men 01 mis uescnpuon. There are a dozen, or a hundred, successful, useful, worthy men to every man who really is poor. Every good mechanic on his way to become foreman, superintendent or employer, is a successful man. We are a nation of rich men; that is the reason our country has such a prominent place under the sun. x Cash Prizes for Children. # Every child in the graded school of Fort Mill is invited to try for one of the prizes offered 1 .> in South Carolin'a for the best i original thrift posters made by | school children. Six cash prizes will be given in this State and in addition the competitors will have a chance to win the two grand prizes awarded for the best B ^ posters in the fifth federal re serve district. The prizes are offered by the war loan organization of this district. The cbntest is now open and will close March 31, at which time all posters must be in the hands t of the teachers. Two first prizes of $5 each, ttfo second prizefc of $2.50 each, and twto third prizes of $1 each ( are offered in this Stale. Printed rules governing the contest have been sent to the r principals and teachers. Those who. have not received them, or who wish additional copies, may get them by writing to the war loan organization at Richmond, Mpt'; One hundred hales of cotton I went up in smoke when fire ? f caused by sparks from a loco?N mojUve, destroyed a warehouse r ' m. of the Hill Mercantile company [ at SharonS Monday afternoon! k Fire fighting apparatus was sent I from York, but lack of water m . mud* control of the fiames im Oo?4 Work ?f Prof. A. K. | The death last week of Prof. A. R. Banks, who for many years In the latter 70s and '80s conducted the Fori lfill academy, recalled (o a reader of Tfie Times an article which appeared in thee# cofumna on January 18, IhlO, relative to the splendid work done for the community' by Prof. Banks. A part of the article follows: * 'But any sketch of pie Fort Mill academy would be incomplete without | due reference to the good woric accomplished through the institution by Prof. A- R- Banks, who is loved and revered as are few teachers by their former pupils. Prof. Banks became the head or the Fort Mill academy in 1868 with the view of making it a life work. He continued the work here till 1871, when because oftne Ku-Klux troubles and the declaration of martial law in York county he went to Pleasant Ridge, Ala., where he taught with great success until the death . of his rather. Rev. Wm. Banks, in 1875, when he returned to Fort Mill. In 1876 he founded the Fort Mill academy which was extensively patronized Wy students from the Carolinas and all the Southern States. He remained here till 1888, a period of 18 years, during which hundreds of voung men sought his instruction, many of whom now fill places of honor and trust, pointing with pride to their school days under*Col. Banks. In 1888 he reluctantly gave up the work here and at the solicitation of the late Rev. J as. Spratt White of Rock Hill took control of the graded school in that city as the first superintendent. He was afterwards the head of the Presbyterian high school in Rock Hill and has since heen superintendent of the Yorkville high school and the graded schools in Kershaw and Lancaster. Prof. Banks is now the superintendent of the Hyatt Park school, near Columbia, and until receetly was for years the Fifth congressional member of the State board of education. "Col. Bank*' life work has been to awaken in boys a desire for higher education, ana nis success is snown by the large number who have gone from his schools to the various colleges of the land bearing away the prizes and medals as proof of superior*^cellence. He is an advocate of thorough work and accurate scholarship, thus stimulating the student to develop habits of thinking for himself." ' ~~~ More Fui Our stock of FURNI1 plete than ever.

Friday the York delefalion received a petition, signed y approximately 100- citizens of Bethesda township, urging that the delegation recommend the appointment of J. E. Harshaw? of McConnellsviHe to the office, which requires supervision pf the roads of the township. Immediately afterwards, a second petition, bearing about the sam^ number of names, went in, asking that the legislative delegation recommend Clem F. Oordon. former county supervisor, for the office. The county delegation, it is reported, is divided, some being for oue of the men and the remainder for the other. Hatch Poultry Early. For the following reasons January, February and March are considered the best months for hatching poultry: Early hatched chicks grow rapidly and have more vigor. Early hatched chicks are strong and less liable tO die from lice and disease. Early hatched chicks have a longer growing season.' Hot weather retards the growth of chicks. Early hatched chicks mature by early fall. NOTICE?For Awnings, Tents and Roof Painting see J. W. Galloway, Rock Hill, S. C.
