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

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.

distributed. The government appropriates
about $200,000 yearly
for a free distribution of garden
