have advanced them money with
which to finance their business is
a known fact. This being the
case and Fort Mill being the logi-
cal banking place of the people of
the lower section of Mecklenburg
county, N. c., who wish to place
their business with banks that are
run as banks should be run, it is
little wonder that the list of c,ls-
toners of the local banks from
across the line in North Carolina
shows steady increase. With
good roads from the Steel Creek
and Pineville sections of Mecklen-
burg county to Fort Mill practi-
cally the year round, not only the
banking business of the town is
being increased by citizens, of
those communities, but much 9TH
er business also is coming here as
a natural concomitant.

Fort Mill boasts two strong
banks which have always shown a
disposition to accommodate their
customers, and that the people are
not upappreciative of the service
OF these banks is shown by the
fact that they are now patronized
by practically every substantial
citizen of the community. In Sc
Letting his banking connections
the thoughtful citizen considers
the strength of the institution and
its willingness to accommodate
him should he call upon it for a
loan. There never has been any
question as to the strength of the
Fort Mill banks and that they
have helped hundreds of their
customers over rough places or

THURSDAY, MARCH II, 1921.

OoHe years ago tne late senator
B. r. Tillman said that there was
more poverty and ignorance in
New York city than in all the
States of the South combined. The
senator did not perhaps mean to
be understood as saying that there
were a greater number of people
in New York who could not read
and write than were to be found
in the South, but ignorance does
not alone comprehend one ina
bility to read and write. There
are other forms of ignorance and
1t was these that the senator
doubtless had in mind in his OBJ
servatiOn. On the score of pow
erty the Indictment was correct
then as it is today. And to prove
the assertion one needs but to turn
to the current number of The Lit
erary Digest and there see pic
lure of tenement home in New
York showing the mother at work
over a table with nine children
, about her. Four of the older chill
dren apparently are helping the
mother i'll the "home work." while
the other five are playing about
the room neglected. The picture,
we are told, is a reproduction of
conditions in thousands of homes
in New York which are described
as "the no mans land of the in
dustrial world" Therein work is
done by the mother and children
on various articles for men, wo-
men and children, such as slippers,
shirts, neckwear, vests, waists, taS-
sells, artificial flowers, hats, wells,
powder puffs, infants petticoats,
children's dresses, boys jackets,
knitted caps, toy watches. These
articles, when completed by the
mother and children, are returned
to the factory whence the material
was secured and in due time find
their way into the hands of the
consumer, who perhaps never sus-
poets that the articles were fin
ished at the expense of physical
and mental health of children,
whose little fingers and little
minds are forced at tasks which
tire eyes and backs and fingers and
deaden hearts and minds.' TO
poverty is due such conditions.
The mother, perhaps having vag-
abond husband or being a widow,
is forced to take in "home work"
at distressingly low remuneration
to maintain herself and little ones,
who, of necessity, are called upon
to help in the tasks. Meanwhile
mental, moral and physical neg
lect is the portion of these chill
dren. Nowhere in the South will
one find such conditions of power
ty as are to be found in these
homes of the North.

Will Hays, postmaster general
in the Harding cabinet, may make
q good official, but if his ability
to conduct the postal service de-
pended upon his looks he would
fall down on the job. 1t is pos
slble, however, that he was wear
ing a false face when the pictures
recently printed of him in the
newspapers and magazines were
made.

1t is a fair assumption that the
public demands such salacious
readlng matter as the reports the
daily papers recently carried on
the trial of the Warner case at
Greensboro, N. c., and the reports
the same papers are now carrying
Of the trial of the Hamon case at
Ardmore, Okla, otherwise. the
press would not feature such filth.
The newspapers, like. the mer-
chants, are in business to supply
the wants of their customers. The
damage done by such nauseous
news is not in the effect it may
have upon grown people, but be-
cause it pollutes the minds of the
youth of both sexes with incidents
OF the seamy side of life that it
We're better for them to know

Spokesmen for the railroads of
the country say that the compa-
MES are about bankrupt and it is
suggested that the government
may be called upon to take over
their control. All of which is en-
eouraging. If the people must con-
tinue to bear the burdens of in
efficient railroad management the
sooner the federal government
comes to their relief the better for
the country. No one denies that
the railroads have been hit by the
financial depression, but so have
all other public enterprises for
that matter. Let the railroads
begin to treat the people with a
greater degree of consideration
and much of the nationwide spirit
OF antagonism that has been man.
lfested toward them recently will
disappear. This is a day of re-
trenchment and an effort to re-
turn to normal conditions, yet We
see the railroad companies instead
OF helping in the undertaking put
ting upon the public the further
burden of increased passenger
rates, after having already put
INTO effect freight tariffs that are
entirely too high. Presently the
companies will awake to the fact
that they have a serious competi-
tor III the motor vehicle and for
short hauls of both passengers and
freight they must compete with
this new method of transporta
uon. Why, for instance, should
The Fort Mill merchant or other
buslnes man pay the Southern
railway $5 to haul a package of
freight from Charlotte to Fort
Mill that can be brought here by
motor truck from that city for $4Y
And again why should the citizen
OF this town who has business in
hock Hill patronize the passenger
trains of the Southern when he
can go down there in his motor
ear III as short time and return at
his pleasure for less than the cost
OF rail transportation 1t would
seem that the railroad companies
would take into account the fact
That they must meet present-day
conditions and give the people the
relief to which they are entitled.
otherwise business for them will
continue to go from bad to worse.
