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.

CAMPAIGN IN THE BALKANS
British and French Troops are Driven
into Greece.
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.

THE LAST CAR OF MULES received
by Us about two weeks ago,
will soon be among the "has beens"
so far as Our owning any of them is
concerned. 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. Come and see
Us. A Square Deal Always.
