IVtephon*. looa? and lone dnuaot. - 3;!?.. ?! v , Entered at the poctoBk-e at Fort Mill, Rfi&V & <?.. aa malt matter of the second olaaa. TUESDAY. JANUARY 10. 1?SS. ggfctm A story is told of a Belgian > farmer who came to this country . ~ turd was asked if he could make a living on ten acres of land. "1 don't know," he replied. "I used to make a good living on five acres in the old country, but 1 don't kirlow if I can successfully cultivate ten acres." He was'unaccustomed to our wasteful, and iucftleient methods of farming. There is a lesson in this for young men who want to own farms but think they can never buy large tracts of land. A few acres, well aiEfe'tnied, will pay far better than a oig rariu pooriy tiiieu. 11 is Better to put one's toir and skill on i few^acres than to scatter it over many acres. Many farmers in< America would be better off if they owned just half, or even less than half, of the land they ? a$e now trying to cultivate. They would become more independent . every year instead of becoming poorer.' Men in the various trades used to pride themselves on the excellence of their work. There was a great deal of rivalry alo.ig this line and it was wholesome and stimulating. The better the workman, the higher he stood in the esteem not only of his employers v hut of his fellow-workmen.' J^Tow the tendency is to strive for shorter hours, increased wages ami improved working conditions which are to be desired, of course, but in striving for them, have we not lost sight of the other thing? And iu losing this other thing have we not lost the thing that k gave men their independence and self-respect T - Our system of trial by jury is the result of an-agreement for inelft, dividual di&artnament. It was adopte when men agreed to sub1 Diir ?heir differences to arbitration by their fellows. They were > * tired of the old system under which those took who would and * those kept who could. When the . nations of the earth adopt the same system, there will be no need for an Agreement as to tb<' si/.e of armaments, for/then armaments will not be needed. We R| can then scrap onr navies and demobilize our arraiea. We should have a binding agreement to submit national differences to arbitration,* and to abide by the deBSffi: cision of the arbitrators, and then We will get somewhere. W?* can f> do this through the League of Nations, but not through disarmament conferences. This ought to waSy be clear to those even in the kin- | dergarten class of statesmanship. X, El Merritt Dies Suddenly. T. Ed Merritt, former Fori Mill citizen, who had lived in Rock 1 till for the last ten years,#died suddenly at his home in thai city Sunday night* heart disease beI .; '< . ntg given as the cause df his death. Mr. Merritt was about 44 i- years old and up to the time he moved to Rock Hill Jiad spent his entire life in Fort Mill. He was a son of the late S. N. Merrilt and was reared on his father's farm J in Fort Mill township. He was a member of Catawba lodge. No. 5t?, t- A. F. M? Fort Mill, and his last visit to Fort Mill was to attend a L. fi w weeks ago the annual ban, uet of the lodge. Mr. Merritt is wurvived by his widow, who was I59&: Miss Lula Maiicrum. tn u'lmm ht? jfeHL was married in Fort Mill about 22 yearn ago. two brothers, 8am ff j ^^itt and Monroe Merritt, and number of sisters. The funeral * ^P^ill be held in Rock Hill today ' and will be with Masonic honors. I ... Tuesday Day of Pupblic&tion. ' For the nflxt six weeks or, to l>e exact, during the session of H^Kn?be Genera!

The stater by a mivalue of. the Ferguson, aldermeu-at'largc; YJ: < C. Stroud, J. D. Hope, B. u. Culp end G. W. McKenzie, aldermen. One of the first aets of the new council, if precedent is followed. < will be the election of a chief ot police, for which there are a num. , ocr of applicants. There seems to be little doubt that the official, whoever he may be, will serve the town at a smaller salary than has been paid for the last two years, several of the men who arete compose the new council having stated that the town could . not afford to pay the old salary, $1,800 per year, and that they were in favor of paying not more ' than $100 per month. According to the report of the town clerk published in The Times this week $730 was collected during the last * year in fines by the police department, from which, however [is to be deducted refunds amount- < ' ing to about $25. Still another matter of more or less general interest which is ex- ' pected to ulnim the eurly atten- , lion of the new council is the re- < organization of the sanitary department, about which there has been much complaint for several , months. The sanitary tax col- J looted by the town during the ' test year amounted to $1,566.05, [while the expenditures for the de- j part men t exceeded the receipts uy vis*/. 1U. Many think the department should be self-support- ( ing and that with the proper, supervision the service the town i? now getting would he much improved. ~ - m _ i Junior Order in Session.
