CONDENSED FOR QUICK READING Some Items of Fact, Some of Comment ' and All Helping to Give an Idea of What Our Neighbors Are Saying and Doing. Lancaster Citizen, Nov. 13: The annual Red Cross Call is now in progress throughout the United States. Mr. T. E. Cheatham is chairman f<>r Lancaster county, and Miss Etta Skipper, executive secretary of the Lancaster Chapter, is also devoting her whole j time to the roll call Mr. J. C. Nel- | son has rented his home place near Unity and expects to move to Lancaster within a few weeks where he and his daughter, Miss Adalaide Nelson, will find a warm welcome.

Walkup of Waxhaw advising that we were misinforrtied about the resignation of Rev. Geo. B. Thompson as pastor of the Presbyterian church there. Mr. Thompson has not resigned, says Mr. Walkup. Chester Reporter, Nov. 13: The fa)' term of court o* common ideas for Chester county lasted only two days court adjourning Friday morning when the case of T. J. Cunningham, Jr., vs. Nathan Price was settled, and it w?v? announced that the other cases set for trial had either been settled or continued. The case of Mrs. Susie D. Crouch vs. John Holder and Dr. W. D. Barnes, which was in progress Thursday when The Reporter went to press, resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff. The jury rouna ior xne piuuiuu, .uis.| Crouch in the sum of $193.80, thi amount sued for, or required the return of the car in the case Saturday was Armistice Day, but there was nothing in Chester except the red numerals on the calendar to bear evidence of the fact. It is a commentary i on the fickleness of human nature that the fine outbursts of sentiment and patriotic fervor are so often succeeded by listlcssness and indifference. Four yea-s ago the country simply went wild with Joy when it was realized that Germany was overthrown, and that the wtr had ended, with its toll of life and blood and treasure But there was little in Chester Saturday to bear testimony to the fact except, perhaps, in some heart the Remembrance of a footfall that will never be heard more, or the recollection on the part of the ex-service men of some Incident or incidents in connection with that memorable day in the autumn of 1918 when the order was issu[ ed for firing to cease There is considerable interest locally in regard to the action of tho committee of whjch Peof. J. D. Fulp, of Abbeville, is chairman, in reference to the case of Douglas Is'ims, Rock Hill football star, who is declared by Fort Mill people tc have received pay for playing baseball, and, therefore, to have disqualified himself for high school athletics, and how the ruling-out of Xims would af feet the result or last friaay ariernoon's game.

L. denn, Jr., will make ar: address tomorrow evening before the Darlington post of the American Legion. Marriage licenses as follows have been issued from the office of Judge of Probate A. W.

Mrs. Moore expects to ; leave in a few weeks for Haiti, where she will remain a year or so with lurj son, who is stationed there in the set- | vices of the United States government. Gaffney Ledger, Nov. 14: One day last work a coot was captured on the! promises of J. \V. Barnhill. at Dray- j tonvillc Mountain on route No. 6.

He has many friends in Gaffncy who always accord him a warm welcome when he comes this way. Edmund Dover, colored, who on Saturday knocked down Mrs. E. B. lluskcy, of Montgomery street, was arrested by the police and charged with reckless driving. It developed that the accident was unavoidable. It was wit nessed by a number of delegates to the convention who stated that apparently the negro did all in his power to pro- I vent striking Mrs. Huskey. who was on foot. The fact that she had recent- j ly been ill and was somewhat weak, | scared Dover, who, after putting up a j bond of $2?.50 failed to appear when the case was called in the mayor's court Monday morning I. Nat Jefferies. familiarly known as "Tnele Nat" was in the city Monday on business. Mr. Jefferies is a prosperous farmer of the lower part of the coun ty.

The old gentleman is quite seventy-five years of age and hlsactivitv nmi nimbleness is all the more re markable for one of his ape Mr. j and Mrs. Luther Raber, Mr. Sherer and Miss Greer, of York, spent the I week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Boycc j Whisonant. Mrs. Baber is a sister of Mrs. Whisonant. Miss Greer is a teacher in the schools of York.

YOUNGEST PREMIER. !a n Mussolini, tho I talian Premier, Is Only j v Thirty-eight Years Old. One of the world s youngest politi- | cal lenders today is conferring here i with King Victor Emmanuel on the formation of a new Italian cabinet lr. ' which he will act as premier and besides will take on his youthful shoulders three separate portfolios, says a Home, IItaly, dispatch. P He is Henito Mussolini, 3S?before C the war a leader of Italian Socialist: and now the head of the most bitter ? anti-radical body in the world, the Fascist i. t Mussolini's poltical career started n when he fought his way to the lendership of the Italian Socialist party. He j s became editor cf their newspaper or- | a pan, "Avantl." That was immediately ^ before the outbreak of the World war t In 1914. c When, the war came German Social- a istfc voted as a bloc to support the d fatherland in its military adventures. 1< When Italy entered the lists on the side of the Allies, Mussolini wished his followers to give the same support to t Italy. 11 Broke With Socialists. ? The Italian Socialists refused. Then d Mussolini broke with them. He en- s listed in the army. The ex Socialist leader came back from the front after the armistice cov- t ered with wounds and medals and T bearing in his heart a bitter hatred * for the Italian radicals who had failed ' their country in its time of need. ? He found Italian industrial and eco- 8 nomic life upset. Unemployment was rife and Italy's great economic safety < valve?emigration to the United States 1 ?had been cut off. ' These conditions had prepared a fer- t tile spawning ground for bolshevist ^ propaganda. Agitators, many of them * inspired by funds sent from abroad, c were at work in all of Italy's industrial centers arid were gaining many J converts. c Then the germ of the Fascist! or- I gnnization was born in Mussolini's " mind. He began banding together his former army comrades in political groups, sworn to oppose the red flag both at the voting booths and through "direct action" with sticks, stones or rifles. By the beginning of this year Mussolini had organized 700,000 young men, all ready to do his bidding. In answer the political extremists called a general strike. Mussolini defeated the strike hy putting 700,000 followers into the jobs the strikers had quit. This intensified the bitterness between the bolshevistic elements and the Pasclsti. Open fighting broke out. At the king's request Mussolini this summer demobilized his forces to aid in restoring order. Hut he did not "demobilize" his political power. Youth Stops Into the Breach. When premier after premier failed to establish a cabinet that could last, Mussolini came forward and now will try to stand where older and bettci trained political leaders fell. Mussolini is tho son of an iron worker. Hut he is versed in music, art and literature and speaks several languages. He has been a school toaehcr, editor, : writer of stories and a roving laborer. ,j The name of his organization?Fas- s cisti?comes from the Latin word "fas- S ees,' bundle, which originally referred E to the bundles of rods carried by the m old Roman lictors. Mussolini's advent to power is cer- 5 tain to have a far-reaching 'effect on 5 Italy's international relations. B His first step probably will be abro- g gation of the treaties between Italy g and Jugoslavia, partitioning the Adri- Z |i I MENTHOLATUM J | %is antiseptic and Jf = AUTOMOBILES jjjj SOLD BY | CITY MOTOR I COMPANY J BOCK 11 ILL.
