Saturday, when the regular monthly meeting was held In Dr. Miller's of. ' flee. In 1914 for the third month the m/f enrollment was 1,564, an increase of 375. In 1913, it was 1,466, an increase in two years of 473. "Of course, we cannot measure the value of our schools by mere numbers," said Supt. Burts in his report, "but this gives an idea of the number being reached by the public school system. From my ^ observation I am convinced that the work in the various departments is progressing satisfactorily. With the funds in hands the public schools are serving the needs of the community most acceptably." Fort Mill Patrons Hold Mass Meeting. Patrons of the Fort Mill school held a mass meeting in the school building Friday afternoon for the purpose of discussing the question of having the compulsory education law effective in the Fort Mill school district. , The meeting was called by Supt. J. D. Fulp of the Fort Mill school, who called upon a number of patrons to give their views on the subject. Superintendent of Education J. E. Carm roll and Representative W. R. Bradford were present and both made adH ^ dresses, advocating the compulsory K^^Hkw. education law. Each patron present MHWf who addressed the meeting expressed himself as favoring the proposition Petitions are now being circulated in the school district asking the York county board of education to make compulsory education effective. Should the proposition carry, there will be four school districts in the county operating under the law, the other three being Hickory Grove, Catawba Junction and Oak Ridge. Death of a Good Woman. After suffering for many months with a complication of diseases, Mrs. Elizabeth Plaxco Whitesides, wife of Mr. W. M. Whitesides, died at her home on Hickory Grove No. 2, yesterday afternoon, and was buried In Smyrna cemetep at 11 o'clock this morning, following funeral services conducted by her pastor, Rev. B. G. Pressley. Mrs. Whitesides was about & 56 years of age. She was born in the Clark's Fork section of York county, ^ the daughter of the late William Plaxco. She is survived by her husband * * *? * ^U1U?AW. lUfo T V ana me xoiiowuig uiuuim. una >. W. Castles, Hickory Grove; Mrs. V. K. Plexico, Sharon; Mrs. 7". C. White|fi[ sides, Chicota, Texas; Messrs.

The British and French troops have successfully carried out their retirement from Serbia across the Greek frontier, and by an arrangement with the Greek government a clear road has been left for them to fall back on Saloniki, which is being organized as a base, yesterday, according to a London cable. The German official* report claims that "approximately two English divisions were annihilated" during the retirement, but this is considered in London an exaggeration. Accounts from Athens ana saionno say me reg; treat was carried out in an orderly & manner and without heavy losses. By W the destruction of railway bridges and loads, and by stubborn rear guard actions, in one of which two companies of the Inniskilling regiments sacrificed themselves to save their comrades, the Bulgarians were kept at a fairly safe distance. The question now arises whether the Bulgarians and Austro-Germans intend to follow the British and French troops into Greece, and what action the Greek government will take should they do so. The impression gained from dispatches emanating in Athens is that neither the Bulgarians nor the Turks, who also are reported to have arrived near the frontier, would be welcomed in Greece, and that, therefore. if it has been decided to follow the Entente Allies the task will be undertaken by Austrians and Germans. However, with the railway destroyed it may be some days before Greece is called upon to take action, and by that time the Anglo-French forces should be safe in the defenses of Saloniki and under the guns of their ships. The remains of the Serbian army are still resisting the Austrians and Bulgarians in Albina while the Austrians are making very slow progress in their efforts to overwhelm Monten'tiopo honvv fichtinir continues. Only small actions have taken place on the eastern and western fronts. On the Gallipoli peninsula a fall of snow is empending the operations, although \ the Entente Allied ships keep things v lively for the Turks, whose attempt P at an offensive last week seems to have failed. British official report says that the Turkish attacks at Kut-El-Amara, where the British re-inforcements are arriving, have been repulsed. The attacks were made from all sides, but the British position was so strong that the Turks were unable to make any impression on it. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS ? P. T. Hildebrand, solicitor of the first judicial circuit, died at his home in Orangeburg early Saturday morning, aged 49 years. ? Sheriff Sally of Orangeburg, has sent McQueen McMichael, a negro, accused of criminal assault, to the r penitentiary for safe keeping. ? M. L. Brywn was convicted in the magistrate court in Abbeville last week charged with violating the compulsory school law. He was fined $10 or 15 days, his attorney gave notice of an appeal. This is the third time * . Brown has been tried and convicted of ? this offense, sentences heretofore being suspended upon his promises to send his son to school. ? The preliminary hearing of W. P. Beard charged with malicious slander, was heard here yesterday afternoon by Magistrate Hammond, says an Abbeville dispatch of Saturday. Beard was bound over to court under bond of $500. No evidence was offered by Beard. The warrant was sworn out by J. P. Gossett, president of the Calhoun mills at Calhoun Palls. The case grew out of stories appearing in the Ptiuiuui. H ? Working in co-operation with the state department of agriculture, commerce and industries, James A. Hayne, M. D.. state health officer, in his an4^Hp nual report to the legislature on the work of the state board of health, says: "We would call the attention of the legislature to the fact that some law should be enacted in South Carolina against the exploitation through the newspapers of worthless nostrums that ^ contain a large percentage of alcohol and delude the public into paying large amounts of money for a very poor grade of whisky. In view of the fact that the state has voter! for prohibition we think that any patent medicine containing over 2 per cent of alcohol should not be sold." Tillman Flays Roosevelt and Bryan. ?Describing William J. Bryan as "simply obsessed" and Theodore Roosevelt as "a giant in Mother Goose." Chairman Tillman, of the ) naval committee, addressed the senate on national defenses yesterday and assailed what he characterized as the greed of private manufacturers of war materials. He upheld Secretary Daniel's administration of the navy department. "The question of preparedness requires grave consideration and prompt action." said Senator Tillman. "Mr. Bryan, an evangel of peace at any price, is bitterly opposed to any ^ and all Increase. He seems to be simply obsessed on this subject and has lost his mental poise. Ex-President / v Roosevelt, on the other hand, who snorts and roars as a veritable bull of Bashan. poses as a pod of war and clamors for a very large standing army and great reserves." He said a he realized the necessity for a greater army., but that the navy, the "first line of defense should come first. He said he favored a navy second only to England. TILLMAN TO FIRE FIRST GUN South Carolina Senator Enjoys Confi- ^ dence of Colleagues. < Editor Wade H. Harris of the Char- i lotte Observer, who is in Washington, u sends the following to his paper un- ] der date of December 11: < In his address at the state fair in t Raleigh, Secretary Daniels outlined the proposed plans for the navy de- . nartment to build its own nlants for _ the manufacture of armor plate. It is i evident that Senator Tillman has been , selected to take the initiative steps in the direction of establishing: thes.1 < plants and that the government is go- t ing to make itself largely independ- I ent of the contractors who have pre- 1 viously furnished battleship material. 1 Tillman's bill is understood to be the J first step in the preparedness pro- i gramme. It will interest the people t of South Carolina and of the south in general to know that Senator Tillman ( is no longer regarded as an invalid. In appearance he is as robust as ever. The fiery and impetuous Tillman of old will never again be known. Toned I and polished and sobered by the hand * of experience, there yet lurks in him the vigor of expression and the energy of action that is ready to come , into manifestation if occasion should arise to require it. Senator Tillman f has taken a high place in the personal , esteem of his colleagues and ranks as one of the most popular men in congress, and this is due not so much to loss of his old characteristics as to the fact that his associates have come into a better understanding of his disposition and an appreciation of the knowledge that he is a mighty good a sort of a man not to nag. ? . ( ? The reason for Austria's delay in < reply to the American government's inquiry for details in the Ancona case, J the Associated Press correspondent in Vienna learns from a well informed source, is that it has been impossible thus far to get into communication with the submarine involved al- ' though every effort has been made to do so. Ambassador Penfield submitted the American communication on Nov. 18, and was given assurance that the desired information would be obtained as soon as possible. A few days later it had not yet been pos- > sible to find the submarine and nothing is known of its whereabouts up to now. Inasmuch as the submarine is a J large one with a wide radius of action it is declared, this might easily happen. It is considered possible also ( that the submarine may have met with misfortune. ferial |totices. Hot Supper. At Bethany, Friday night, for the benefit of the school. Public invited. W. R.

Sales have been quite brisk?fully up to Our expectations. Every man who saw this shipment soon after its arrival, was willing to say that this particular car of Mules was as fine a bur.ch of Mules as ever came to this market,, and the best evidence that this verdict is correct is the number of Sales and Exchangee that we have made. We still have several Choice Mules left at Our Barn. We bought them to sell and exchange and if TOU need a Mule and either want to Buy or Exchange, we are here to do business, and We believe that we can interest You in either a Straight Buy or an Exchange proposition.
