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

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."

Costest far Road Sopcrrisor
Indications are that there will
be a hot fight over the appointment
of a road supervisor forBethdada
township, to succeed
the late Palmer Sherer.fr The
friends of two candidates I are
actively-working to see that
"their man" is named for this
position, and unfll the appointment
is made this fight will continue.
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.
