though the Democratic majority

1t is interesting to the news
paper man, as he reads his
exchanges, to see how sharp the
competition is for new manu-
featuring industries. Cites
from far and near tumble over
each other with special induce
ments the moment they hear
that any concern contemplates
move. Our town should be
active in this game. difficult as it
is. Meanwhile the fact is worth
attention. that many a town
while campaigning earnestly for
distant concerns. is neglecting
chances that originate at home.
There are young men in this
place as there are everywhere.
who would be perfectly compe-
tent to manage a business propo-
sition. If they had capital. They
would like to start q new in
dustry here. Meanwhile money
rs being sent away. because our
people don't know of hopeful
chances to invest at home. The
concern from a distance that NAV
be attracted by special induce
ments, may or may not stay
when the inducements expire.
The concern backed by home
enterprise and capital is rooted
in home soil. To many people.
the distant investment looks
more attractive. But it might
not seem so, if examined on the
spot. Money invested at home
is under close inspection, which
should prevent losses. Where
fore. when our young men want
a little capital TO start a new
enterprise, their claims should
have the most Careful con-
aideration.

One Of the things which the
town council of Fort Mill might
do that would help some in the
way of improving sanitary con-
ditions is the passing of an
ordinance prohibiting splitting on
Main street. The habit is dirty,
vulgar and disgusting. 1t is a
show of almost criminal careless
ness as we'll as being a habit
that is detrimental to the health
of every person who walks the
street. When-this spittle dries,
no matter whether the person
was diseased or not, the germs
arise and are breathed by other
people and they stand an al
most certain chance of some
infection. Our people should
think of this thing, and by their
own example do their best to see
that this inexcusable practice is
stopped.

ically every farm crop in the

have made fairly good crops.

Mr.. Blair yesterday. and some
of the farmers will make from

pite the fact that it was planted
