To The Public.

We, the physicians Of Fort Mill, in
consultation believe that Fort Mill and
the vicinity demand the services of
three medical men, since three have
practiced here for the past 25 years.
Now, owing to the high cost of
living, we have been unable to make a
living for the past two or three years
and conclude the only remedy is to
raise the price of our services to the
same fees as the physicians of sur
rounding towns, viz:
For visits in town 81. so
Outside town limit up to miles 200
For each additional mile above2 so
For night calls, extra ---- LOO
Obstretical cases Sl5 and upward.
Moreover, we agree to send state
ments monthly for our services the
same as other business men. All de-
linquents are urged to settle their
accounts at once. Those who cannot
pay will be placed on the charity list.
Those who will not will be placed on
another list. These changes in fees
to take effect on the first of February,
1916.

English Wit VS.. Irish Humor.

Seumas MacManus, the Irish writer
and lecturer, who is to lecture here
at st. Mary's auditorium, Thursday
evening, January 10, on "a Merry
Ramble Round Ireland" gives his
opinion that the wit Of an Englishman
will not be liable to blind you when
it scintillates. He says that when he
was one day riding on an inside tourist
car, in County Kerry, he got into a
dispute on Irish wit with rather
thick-headed Englishman who sat be-
side him. So absorbed were they in
their argument that when they reached
a rather steep hill on the road. and
the jarvey, or car driver, who. by the
way, is the great wit in Ireland, had
jumped up to tighten the horses load
up the hill, he, MacManus, forgot his
duty to the dumb animals, kept his
seat and went on with his argument
The jarvey, walking behind the car,
opened the door Of it several times and

slammed it again with loud slam,
which at length so annoyed the Eng
lishman, that he irritably asked why
he was doing that. Because, sir"
said the sly jarvey, every time the
horses hear that door slam they think
that another man has got out, and It
gives the creatures encouragement on
the hill" The Englishman. at hearing
this, slapped his knee, and let out of
him a great guffaw. To Seumas Mac
Manus, who had taken the hint and
jumped out, the Englishman, settling
back for more comfortable seat, said
triumphantly: And this is some of
your boasted Irish brightness-Eh?
Ha, ha, ha! Did you ever know any
thing more stupid?' We'll, l must
confess" replied Seumas MacManus,
that Ireland carries its share OF stu
pidity-in the tourist season." At this
remark again the Englishman slapped
is knee and roared right heartily
And MacManus tells how, when he
was in America eight months later, he
read in an American paper a para
graph copied from a London journal,
in which the writer told how when he
was touring in Ireland the previous
summer his jarvey, fair specimen
of the Irishman who is cried up for his
brightness and his wit, thought that
he, encouraged his horses on the hill
by frequent slamming Of the door OF
his waggonette to give them the idea
that passengers were alighting. And
went on the paragraph, the most re-
markable. part of it is that young
Irishman who travelled with me and
who seemed to have had the advant-
ages Of middling fair education, and
of having visited in America once or
twice, tried to explain to me that for
some abstruse psychological reason,
it was only in the summer time that
the Irish were stupid! And these peo-
ple," the article concluded, ARE ask
ing us to let them govern themselves!
"If they were allowed to govern
themselves MacManus says, they
could in the stupid season have the
guidance of brilliant English tourists"
