This allotment applies :i |iiirticularl> to the month of August. J In public eating places, restaurants, s< liotels, boarding houses and dining urs the new allotment will be two li pounds for each DO meals served.

Kncrar bowls have t lisapfieared from the tables of many a u the hotels, restaurants and cafes, * mil sugar is carefully measured out 10 guests and customers. Under these x is ting conditions, there can be no s iiuliinited use of sugar, even for a por- y lion oi a month, in the homes of those Jj ivho are endeavoring to conscientious- j ly and patriotically live up to the food idministration rules and regulations, sugar must be used with the greatest .aire. It is too precious to be wasted , ?r to lie used except sparingly. Even ;i I hough it may mean sacrifice, sugar < must be saved now. The situation is *uch as to call for the co-oporation of very individual and every household- l in the state. Only a certain $ imount of sugar has been allotted to South Carolina for the month of August. The dealers can procure a cer- * lain amount. This allotment must 4 :ovcr all needs. The food administration has carefully figured that it ixuinot be stretched to cover the needs s if the state unless the individual consumption is cut down to two pounds per person per month. In naming thai c imount as the ration, therefore, the .? food administration states clearly what Is the patriotic duty of every person * 111 South Carolina for the month of j August?to live within the limit, and to cut that down If possible. It is also urged that in canning, fruits he |, :nnnod without sugar this summer. The fruit will keep just as well, it ^ may lie sweetened to taste when open- ' id tor use. By that time it is hoped that the sugar situation will have j been relieved and that there will l>e plenty for all purposes. J WITHIN THE TOWN ?

PINEVILLE WHISKY CASE There was a preliminary hearing in he Pinoville, N. C.. whisky case in ha riot to last Tuesday. The Observer it Wednesday contains the following iith reference thereto: Following a hearing before United states Commissioner J. \V. Cobb yeserday, S. M. Raggett, agent for the Southern Express company at IMneille, was held for trial in the i ili-riil court here under bond of $1,oii. on a charge of ordering splritous uitiors tinder lictitious names to be hipped frttm a point within a "wet" tiite to a i>oint within a "dry" state, it violation of section 238 of the penal ode. District Attorney W. C. Hammer of isheboro. ap|ieared for the governuent. while I'lummer Stewart reprei-nted the defendsint. Daggett offered in testimony. The defendant put up certified check for the amount of he bond, and the hearing was eonmued until Monday to allow Daggett itne to raise personal securities for 1.000 bond. , According to the testimony adduced i\ the state, it would appear that taggett, since April 1. 191K. hail oreied 1,17s packages of liiiitor shipM-iI from a wholesale house in Ualtluore. all of them addressed to flctlious is-rsons. but the orilers were ubmitted by Daggett personally, vith directions to the shipis-r to send hi whisky in various packages to the arious names designated. Seven hundred cartons, in which art of the whisky is alleged to have ten shipped, were found in the exit-'ss ollice at IMneville. said state's fitnesses. At wholesale prices, the able of this whisky amounts to i early $3,COO, according to the evilenet?. Tin* Rovernmcnt's contention was hat Raggett had conducted illegally wholesale li(|iior business at I'lneille, and had utilized innumenilde lames, .practically nil of which wore inknown in the community, to have lie contraband delivered. four South Carolina lawyers, three rein Uock Hill, and one from Yorkille, attended the hearing but took m |tart in the case. It was undertend around the courtroom that these au yors were to represent men arrest <1 in South Carolina on similar chnrgs when they are called for trial.

Fulmer of Colnm MAIN HIGHWAYS The county t>oard of commissioners 1ms not yet been able to settle upon any definite policy with regard to the application of the funds which the legislature sought to set aside at its last session for the maintenance of the "north and south" and "east and west roads." The purpose of the act referred to is to keep in repair the main hlghways of the county, presumably those constructed under what was known as the Stewart law. What is known as the Stewart idea was a brilliant scheme that was concocted by \V. H. Stewart to elect him to the senate rather than to develop the highways. It contemplated roads across the county frotn east to west and froth north to south by and frotn Kort Mill by Way of ltock Hill to McConnellsville. Under this act the road has been worked up pretty well from the Chester line to the North Carolina line . mil between Yorkvillc !uui Rock Hill. There have been diversions from the original scheme In th> construction of \vh:it is known as the Filbert spur, and in the construction of u road from Clover out to within a few miles of Catawba river. Hut a great drawback with regard to all new road construction has been that there has been no adequate pro- , vision for keeping the roads up after they have been constructed. it is a fact that practically all of the main highways that have been constructed under what is known as the Stewart law have gone to the bad. It is so with the road from the Chester line to the Caston county line, and it is so with the road from YorkviJIe to Kock Hill. For the purpose of keeping up these roads the legislature has provided that each township through which these roads run must give the roads fifteen dollars a mile from that regular road tax fund and also the automobile tax from the townships in which the roads run must go to the ke< ping up of thtoe roads. I'nder this law, it is clear that York. Hetliesda and King's Mountain townships must contribute fifteen dollars per mile for each mile of the North and South road running through them, and York and Klienezer townships must contribute fifteen dollars for each mile of the Yorkvill^-Rock Hill road within their respective limits. In addition to this all of the townships mentioned must give all their automobile tax to keeping up the main highways within their limits. liiilioek's Creek, llethei, Itrond River, Catawba anil Fort Mill townships are not supposed to have to contribute either from their general road tax or their part of the automobile license unless it shall be held that it is up to them to contribute in this manner to any portion of a ehaingang constructed road that they might have in their limits. - ,?.l ut f U *{ tl I III W 11(111' IIMHfe Kt'l'iiin ... >n right cunsiiiciiilik1 of :i tangle and as to how it is going to In- worked out does not yet appear.

Comer. the'county campaign There were about a hundred people in attendance on the opening of the county campaign in the school house at McConnellsvllle yesterday, and all the candidates were present with the exception of Mr. W. R. Bradford. who was kept away on account of illness. Mr. \V. B. Kerr, precinct chairman, presided and after prayer by Mr. E. A. Crawford, there were short speeches by Messrs. \V. J. Cherry, J. H. Foster. Jas. E. Gettys, John R. Hart, E. Gettys Xunn, El W. Furs ley. J. R. Haile, J. L. Houston, O. L. Sanders J. M. Williford and John El Carroll. There was nothing out of the ordinary In any of the speeches except some good jokes by Messrs. Hart and Foster, and some unusual but appropriate rhymes by Mr. Williford. The legislative candidates were allowed ten minutes each and the oth Iers were ach allowed Ave minutes. For Houm of Repreoentatlvos. Mr. W\ J. Cherry renewed his re-' / cord In the general assembly during < the two years that he was there and i told of his connection with the bill ; having for its object cheaper lime- i stone for the fanners of the state. He also got through a bill that eliminated { unnecessary terms ot the circuit court , and looked after the U-st interests of York county generally to the best ot his ability. Concluded with a review 1 of America's connection with the war. , and spoke approvingly of the action ( of the president throughout the whole , controversy. i J. H. Foster devoted himself mainly \ to a discussion of the war, and took i pride in the part that York county is i taking, ami wild that In pro|iortion to population this county had prolwbly sent more soldiers than any other j county in the state, and the man who is not willing to stand by these men i for all that he is worth, is a traitor. I'aid an eulogistic tribute to the presi- i ?1<-lit. and said that lie would louow the president blindly. Is not in favor ( of high taxes, but !(, must Ik- remem- i tiered that we cannot have things worth while unless we pay for them. ( Said he was in favor of changing the Jury law so as to allow ten men to i return a lawful verdict, for the rea- i son that in nine cases out of ten, the | responsibility for a mistrial res is with one man. Pledged his loyalty to j Wlnthrop and Clcmson. Urged the solemn importance of the selection of | public olllcials and gave reasons for i the selection of himself, because of j previous experience and other quail- i Heat ions. I .Mr. James E. (lettys said he was not present of his own choice: but at ] the request of citizens who had insisted upon his offering as their rep- I resentative. As to whether he was tile choice of the people would de- < velop in the primary. He opposed the $* 11,001) law and order appropriation as : unnecessary, and said that he was in favor of an economical administration i of the government on broad and sen- I slide lines. i John It. Hart began by saying that i he was -glad he hud commenced his i political career at .McConnellsville be- i cause if hi- made mistakes the people would look over it. Did not know what I he would do if he went to the legislature and while he would promise not to vote for any useless measure, he would not promise to reduce taxes. He was not sure thaf taxes ought to be reduced. He would not make any promises because he did not know what he could do and could not do; but he would try to do his duty. As a main projiosition he believed In com- I pulsory education under proper regulation. Is in favor of doing away with the cur dog by taxation so as to make room for sheep. He said that when the boys come back he is willing to vote for any tax that Is necessary to take care of the boys when I they come home from the war. K. Hettys Nunn said that four years ago an<l two years ugo I asked you to , -I. . hMMMO nf sciiu III!' lO IIU- iVfiini.lim* ............ -. what 1 might I if able to do more especially for the mill people. He had ho|H'd that his service was over, and 1 had said in the newspapers that he would not run again. The mill |k-ople, however, had put it up to him like this: "We have sent you twice when you wanted to go, and now you want to go because we want you to go." 1 do not claim any especial fit ness for representative: but I do feel under obligation to do the best I can. In conclusion he discussed the war. emphasizing the conspicuous loyalty of the mill people in furnishing men. in buying stamps, buying bonds, contributing to the Y. M. A. and the Ited Cross. He said that 05 per cent of the lirst company that left Itock Hill were mill men and these men are now in the trenches of France. Closed with liberal applause. Mr. E. \V. I'ursley felt that it was a groat pleasure to be here again. His lirst effort was here a few years ago and he would never forget it because sweat broke out on his face until he thought the drops were horseflys. He was not a public spenkor then and he Is not in his element in that lins >ot. He told of a number of measures he advocated and which passed the house; but were killed in the senate. He thought the principal reason why the farmers could not get what they wanted In the general as sembly was because there were too many lawyers there. Had supported prohibition and also had supported Wlnthrop college. He is in favor of good roads; but would not talk roads now because we have got to tight the war. Discussed the labor question as one of the most important matters before the people at this time, and suggested cattle raising as one of the |M>ssible solutions of the existing problems. Had favored a law to stop the killing of veal calves. Thought the government would do well to assist in the distribution' of thoroughbred cattle over the county, and also discussed the sheep and dog question. Applause. Probate Judge. Mr. J. It. Halle did not know exnetly how to announce his candidacy for i probate judge In a Speech. He said that he had been prominent in the political life of York county since 1876. when he began doing his bit in the Interest of white supremacy. He said that he believed that Woodrow Wilson had been raised up by (iod to ' lead the people of America through this great crisis. S|>oke of his service In the general assembly and gave his twenty years' experience as a practical bookkeeper as evidence of i Ills llllll'SS UJI lilt- |liuvr, J. L Houston said that ho is trying to do something-that ho has novor boon able to do In his life, and that is to mako a public spooch. Tho oflloo is an administrative office and , does not call for spooch making. He lias boon in the office for two years, understands the business of tho same and if tho people will elect him he will appreciate the favor and give the best service in his jtower. Mr. O. L. Sanders being at his old home, did not expect to bo called upon to make a sitooch. Ho thought ho 1 had a very good understanding of all the offices, and If he found that he could not attend to tho business he i would resign. Superintendent of Education. Mr. John E. Carrfoll thanked the MeConnellsvillc people for the support they had always given him, and made no hesitation in confessing tho pleasure he felt at being nllowed to run for the most important office In the ' county without opposition. Mr." John M. Wllllford recited some clover rhymes, reviewing his previous candidacy and expressing his hope as to the result of the election. At the close of the spenking the i candidates and other visitors were assigned different hospitable MeConnellsvillc homes for dinner, and although the crowd did not re-assemble i* the afternoon, it was late in the day before all the visitors had departed from a most delightful neighborhood. . IRREGULAR ENROLLMENT That Is a very interesting and Important situation thnt has been de- ( veloped with reference to Yorkville i No. 2 club roll as disclosed by the investigations of the Democratic execu1 fan loaf XfnnHo v Yorkville No. 2 Includes all the Democratic voters In York township east of Congress street, ' Lincoln street, and tjie Chester road. Examination of the books by the Democratic e..3cutlve committee developed that between 175 and 200 voters, possibly more, were entered In handwriting other than that of the i enrolled members. The law of the party, which Is the ] law of the state, having been enacted , into a statue with the approval of the governor, provides that every club member must sign the club roll with hie full name, and In his own handwriting, provided he can write. In the case of a club member who cannot write, the secretary In charge of the club roll may write his name for him; but the enrolling member must a.flx his mark which must be duly attested. It has been held that If John Brown Smith signs his name John B. Smith, such a signature will be acceptable; 1 but if he makes it J. B. Smith, it Is not, and throughout the state hundreds of J. & Smiths have been I thrown out in times past, for failure < to sign their names In fulL Along with the mimes on Yorkville No. 2 roll there are quite a number of J. li. Smiths. That is to say. names that are preceded with initials only. Club roll No. 2 has l>oen in the store of 1. \V. Johnson ail aJong.. Mr. Johnson hail charge of it. or at "least he allowed it to remain in his store. I'pon the discovery of the irregularity by the executive committee, Mr. Johnson was called in for the purpose of giving such light as he could. He said that he had written many of the names in question, at the request of the enrolling parties, utterly Innocent of any irregularity: but he was un'ilde to say just how many names he had written or point out with certainty which names he did write. He stated also that besides the names he wrote, still other parties other than those enrolling, had entered names. All of the irregularly enrolled club members have la-en eallid to appear l?eiore the committee next .Monday to show cause why their names should not bo stricken from the roll, and the a hole matter is ot very considerable L-onccrn in more ways than one. There has been uhk 01 uimuk .... mutter Iwfore a circuit judge with :? view to having the regularity of the hook* continued in some way; hut as to just how this can l?e done does not uppenr to he clear. The especial and particular object of the law requiring personal enrollment and forbidduig i-nrollment by proxy was to lessen the possibility ot fraud, etc.. and it would xeeni tliat if a court should undertake to set aside the rule on a plea of ignonince of the law. etc., the whole law would at once Income a nullity. The virtual disfranchisement of two hundred voters in Vorkville No. 2 would have a far-reaching effect upon i-acli and every county candidate, and it may have an effect on the race for state olliccs. .Most of the names in question throughout the various precincts, are heing questioned because of IH-Illg incomplete. That is. jmrties having two i?r more Christian names, have signed only one and haw |ef; initials to stand tor the others. In ttie ease of Vorkville No. 2. the trouble is due enliivl* to the writing of names on the roil by others than the parties enrolled.
