Cities, towns, villages ami ham- th lets on last Thursday afternoon and th night, celebrated the report that Gcr- ja many had virtually surrendered to Marshal Koch. It was the wildest '? celebration in American history. In nc Chicago scenes were about the same ar as in New York. Great throngs crowded the streets and men left work in many places to join the deaf- 111 ening demonstration. At 2 p. m. it gt; was estimated that 2.000.000 persons were taking part in the jubilee. Ten thousand persons in solid mass in ,v Madison srect. Chicago, sang the . "The Star Spangled Banner." I?ate c" bulletins saying the signing of the ar- cc mistier had not been confirmed did not dampen the universal enthusiasm. , The Liberty Hell in Philadelphia was rung and thousands of shipyard P( workers laid down their tools to eele- or brute. The scenes were similar in ?jq Gloucester. N. J., and Wilmington. . lX'laware. where there are groat ship- "l yards. Mayor Preston, in Baltimore. vi declared the day a municipal holiday. er Thousands took part in imrades. Boston's big celebration died down when officials received word that the UI signing of the armistice was not a te certainty, hut 10.000 shipyard workers hj] paraded the streets of near-by Quincy. At Springfield. Mass.. city of- n< ial* .md state guard units headed e on?ter parade.

I Tin days of world conquerors sot in j i huvo passed. Alexander did it. Oa"ir did It. ami Xaiiob on achieved a kind | f temporary Job In Europe; but the ] aiser was not able to quite get away i ith tie undertaking. According to ] te present outlook of the whole situuon, it will lie a long time before there | i another such attempt. 1 i The Hermans had been driven al- . lost entirely out of France before the i gning of the armistice. They might ussibly have l?c*en able to hold out a i w days or perhaps a few weeks long- ; r. but after a few weeks at most their rmies would have been hammered to ( Icees J l'eople who came into Yorkville ' am the licth-Shiloh neighborhood uring the early hours of yesterday loriung, said they could see and hear , ildences of victory in Itock Hill, Fort j I ill. Clover and Yorkville all at the , line time. There was booming of dyumite, shouting of guns, pistols and reworks in each of those towns. Anyhow that premature report of te signing of the Allied armistice pro- i osals by the Germans lost week, had < ne very pronounced effect. It dem- ? nstrated the fact that America is toroughly ready for peace. The peo- . le desire to get back into their ordi- i rry pursuits as quickly as possible, lso they are anxious for their boys to tit back home < It took war to develop the Red Cross , i America. We had this institution ' ere before the war commenced to be in ; but it was comparatively tinimDrtant as to members or efficiency, ne of the greatest benefits that has ten developed by the war has been te Ked Cross. This institution has istifled its right to support for all me, purely on account of the good It is done, is doing and will do. It must Dt be allowed to languish. Again, Napoleon's famous prophecy tat within a hundred years all Europe ould either be republican or Cossack, he abdication of the kaiser removes te last autocratic monarch. Francis jseph of Austria, the czar of Kussia, te sultan of Turkey and Ferdinand of ulgaria have stepped down and out. nee the beginning of the world war, id now every government in Europe virtually republican or about to be>ine so. The days of kings are not rer, but the days of autocratic polltal power are evidently numbered. Although the war department has ot seen proper to give out in advance hat it proposes to do upon the restortion of peace, there is good reason to flieve that so soon as it is certain int the conquest of Germany is comlete there will be a revision of the resent programme- The probability that orders for the sending of troops i France will be countermanded, and rangements will be perfected forthith for the release by furlough withit pay or discharge of such men as ay not be needed. Also many of the g war contracts will be canceled, and lere will be a general slackening of ar preparations generally. The thing for York county to do ? ith her war work apportionment Is to f lise it in short order?to pay it. If f stead of having the enemy whipped. ( v were sorely pressed, the money mild have been raised without qiiesi>ti. Possibly there is not as much >td for this money as there would ive been otherwise. We really do not * ink there is; but our obligation is no ss thnn it was and as a matter of ct it would be more discreditable for I i to fall down than it would have f en to have fallen down under other nditions. The amount asked for ork county is not a large amount impared with our ability to give, and t. t should easily raise every cent of it. , No. there isn't going to be any bus- c ess depression, not in America, g tore will be a change from the man- , acture of war materials, munitions. r c., to ordinary business: but that is ?, >t going to take long. There will be a adual and steady increase in the t irehasing power of a dollar; but evybody wants to see that. But there , ould be no business demoralization v anything of that kind. Why should t ere be in this the greatest country in . e world, with employment for all the ? bor there is now or likely to be for a s ng time to come. No, there will be t depression. On the contrary things e going to remain as good as they * e until the boys come home, and r en things that have heretofore lan- ?i lished will fairly hum. c Out of some 400,000 people who have ^ reived .allotment and dependency t leeks from the government on ac- c unt of the service in the army or r ivy of soldiers and sailors upon f horn these people claim to be de- v ndent, it is estimated that at least a le-third are fraudulent or irregular, le war risk Insurance department r is laid down the rule that no indi- t dual who was not actually depend- t it upon a soldier or sailor before he f itered the sendee can be dependent t >on that soldier or sailor after he en- i rs the sen-ice. and all persons who 1 ive received checks to which they are ? it entitled under this ruling must t either return the same or remain 11a>le to prosecution. Senator James Hamilton Lewis of IIinois, has given out a statement in vhlch he attributes his defeat for reflection mainly to two primary causes. L'he most potent o: these causes, he hlnks, was President Wilson's appeal or the election of Democrats only in >rder to Insure the support of the adninistration's war policy. Senator ^ewis thinks the Republicans took this is a reflection upon their patriotism ind bestirred themselves to extraorditary patriotism on that account Then 11 tiic second place, the senator thinks hat the farmers of Illinois let go on lim their resentement against the president because of his veto of the bill j ;o increase the price of wheat above! We have no such understanding >f the situation in Illinois as Senator Lewis has. and as to what the facts ire we really do not know. We vtn:ure, however, that the senator got what he got mainly because of the abicnce of the boys who could and would tiave re-elected him In France. In the neantime the stay-at-homes, many of whom count themselves the real pa:riots, are felicitating each other on ;he fact that "things are getting right igain." Anticipated the News. THe wnoif country was ciectrim-u ast Thursday by news to the effect :hat Germany had signed the armistice proposals of the Allies. The news turned out to be premature, not to say false; but nevertheless because it was so generally anticpated, it was almost universally believed. There was no good excuse for not believing it because it was given out on the authority of the two great press lssociations, the United Press und the Associated Press, that are almost universally regarded as infallibleThe United Press dispatch, which tvas sent out at 12.10 o'clock, American Eastern time, was as follows: "Paris, November 7.?The Allies and Germany signed an armistice at 11 b'elock this morning. Hostilities ceased at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Americans took Sedan before the armistice became effective." This dispatch was signed by "Roy W. Howard," president of the United Press, in general charge of the United Press organization in France and by William Philip Sims, chief of the organization's Paris bureau. The dispatch of the Associated Press reads as follows: "Paris, November 7, 11a. m.?German grand headquarters requested Allied grand headquarters by wireless tolay to permit passage of the German lelegution for armistice negotiations through the lines. "The order was given to cease firing it this front at 3 o'clock this afternoon until further orders. "The German wireless message for in armistice delegation to meet Marshal Foch was as follows: "The German government would congratulate itself in the interest of humanity if the arrival of the German lelegation on the Allies' front might bring about a provisional suspension jf hostilities. "The message announced that the German plenipotentiaries would arrive it the French outposts on the OhlmayGuise road on Thursday between 8 and 10 o'clock in the evening. "Marshal Foch, the Ailed commander in chief, had previously notified the German high command that if the German delegation wishes to meet him It should advance to the French lines ilong the Ghlmay, fourmois. La Capelle and Guise roads." On the strength of these messages most of the great cities throughout the muntrv went wild with enthusiasm, tnd it was not until hours after the receipt of further information that the irmistiee story had not been confirmed hat the pandemonium of enthusiasm scgan to subside. And then when it began to appear that a mistake had been made there followed all kinds of abuse against the United Press for the falsity of Its news, while on its part the partisans of the United Press pointed out that while orlers were no doubt issued to cease flrng on the particular part of the front >ver which the German delegates were :o come with their flag of truce, there were no orders for a general suspeniton of firing and there was no such teneral suspension anywhere. The United Press sent out a statement to the effect that its dispatch was lied on authority of information furlishod to it by Rear Admiral Wilson at Brest and its dispatch was filed with Vdmiral Wilson's approval. It quoted Bear Admiral Wilson in confirmation. As to Just how the unfortunate >reak was made does not appear; but t is safe to assume that the two press issociatlons. wrought tin to the supreme >itcli of eagerness to "get there first" with the momentous piece of news of his or any other day, were simply unible to contain themselves until the ictual development of the facts, and cave out as having already happened hings they felt certain must happen. PEACE WITH VICTORY! Vutocracy Overthown and Democracy Enthroned. The armistice proposals of the Alied powers and America have been !ign?d by the German High command md the world war is over. The news of the signing of the arniatieo was given out from the state lepartnient at Washington at $2.50 o' look yesterday morning; The rest is o ho taken as a matter of course. The unnistiee terms, which were 'xplained by the president to confess yesterday afternoon, include iroctlcally all that would have been 'equlred in the case of unconditional urrender. and there is little reason to luppose that there will be any further Igliting. The German armies are to be disncmbered and demobilized and the ermun navies are to be subject to vhatever disposition the Allied pow rs see proper to make of them. Berlin is in the hands of revolutionsts who have proclaimed a people's government, and it is practically the ante in the case of every other espial in the empire. The king of IVortemburg has abdicated: so has the grand duke of Hesse ind it is stated that all of the other dynasties in Germany will either step lown and out or be kicked down and >ut. The greater part of the German nay is now in the hands of the revoutionists and soldiers and workmen verywhere are fraternizing with each >ther in the setting up of a governncnt of the people. In many cases, irinces of the blood and other mem>ers of the nobility of the old regime lave joined the people's movement for t democratic government. I'p to yesterday the revolution had >een generally bloodless, except a lumber of people had been reported o have been killed in clashes between he revolutionists and military defenders of the old regime. There is some talk to the effect that he new government may claim that t ought to be excused from some of he demands that were made upon rnd agreed to by the autocratic govrnment: but that does not appear to h? giving anybody any concern. how much It has been worth in influenza is quite doubtful. Strict quarantine was enforced at Camp Jackson and Camp Sevier. Both places had the advantage of 76 per cent of all the medical skill and experience there is in this country, and there was no lack I of means of enforcing any regulations that were deemed necessary. Yet at both places men died faster than it was possible to obtain coffins in which to bur}' them or labor to dig their graves. 1 The same conditions have prevailed , elsewhere, and while many quaran; tines have been lifted, so far as information goes, sporadic cases are still i breaking out In every community in ' which the disease has yet appeared. A i recurrence of epidemic conditions has . not yet been reported in any of the camps and that is very likely because I of the exhaustion of the materia! in > the first attack. Whenever the disease develops, however, it appears to run its 1 course regardless of the doctors and ' quarantines, and the mortality does I not appear to be any lower where duc. tors are numerous than where they are scarce. Although there have > been quite a number of cases, includ ing several deaths, in this community up to this time there has been nothing ; like an epidemic. To say that it cannot become epidemic or that there is . no danger of its becoming epidemic LOCAJL AFFAIRS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS A. M. MeGilU No. 1.

Carroll of Itock Hill, was in Yorkvillc Saturday on business. Miss Frances Pegram, who has been spending some time at her home in Yorkvillc, has returned to Andrews, S. C. where site will resume teaching;. Mrs. \V. 15. Camp of Clover has received information that her son Private Ernest T. Camp. Company L. lis th Infantrj wnwounded in the foot and is now in a hospital in England. Mr. Leonard Boyd of the Cannon mill village, is slowly recovering from an attack of Influenza. A 3-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd is critically ill with meningitis. Mr. and Mrs. William Brandon of Maysvillr. X. C. have received information that their son Private William L. Brandon. Co TI. 118th .Infantry was wounded in action. Private Brandon was wounded in the right sMe and arm and is now in an English hospital. Private Walter L. Holmes of the 118th Infantry, 30th division, has Informed his mother, Mrs. S. J. Holmes, on Yorkville Xo. 1, that he is in a hospital with a shell wound in the head; but expects to be out again soon. Young Holmes went to France with the 30th Division from Camp Sevier last May. Corporal Claude R. Brown of Hickory Orove. who went to France as a member of Company D, 118th regiment, 30th Division, writes his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Brown, that he is suffering from a wound sustained in a shell burst; but is getting along nicely and hopes to be back agnln with his company soon- The letter was written about the middle of October, and in it young Brown mentioned incidentally that ho had been "over the top" four times. WITHIN THE TOWN. ? After the early morning meeting in the courthouse yesterday. Mayor Johnson declared a municipal holiday and there was a general suspension of business. ? Rev. B. H. Waugh was present at the courthouse yesterday morning when the prayer service was proposed, and thinking there would be time went home to bring his family. ? Rev. J. L. Oates explained yesterday morning that the reason he did not Join in the shooting celebration was because Mrs. Oates got the pistol first and was doing the shooting herself. ? There are still several severe cases of influenza in the cannon mm village, but the situation is steadily improving, and within a few days more everybody mployed In the mill Is expecting to he back at work again. ? Durinr the shooting in the streets yesterday morning, a bullet struck the telephone cable opposite the postofflce. Manager McCorkle said that the damage was about $25; but that was all right. ? There was quite a large meeting of the western district captains of the United War Work campaign in Yorkville last Saturday morning, more than a hundred of them being present. The situation was discussed with careful deliberation and a systematic plan of campaign was mapped out and agreed upon with the assurance that a thorough canvass would be made during the week. ? Misses Lucia Reid Ewart and Mabel Berry of the treasurer's office, are down with influenza. Miss Martha Brandon, of the clerk's office, who has been ill with the same malady for about ten days, is getting along very nicely. Mr. F. E. Clinton, deputy clerk, who has been away from his offlc for a good part of the past two weeks, because of influenza in his family, said last night that all of his people were better. ? "DcKotr T ormlri nnt fftnn that shooting this morning," said Mayor Johnson yesterday afternoon, "and I did not want t stop it Of coarse after daylight came and the crowds began to increase on the streets. I asked them to put up their guns and pistols, and go to firecrackers if the" could get them, and they did it. But who would have thought about trying to put a stop to the celebration of an occasion like this?" ? There was no preaching In any of the local churches last Sunday Services had been announced in all of them with the exception of the Church of the Good Shepherd, the pastor of which had an appointment elsewhereBut all these appointments were called oft, presumably at the instance of the "board of health." Several new cases of influenza had been reported during the two days previous?some say six and some say eleven?and it is presumed that this was the reason for calling off the services in the churches. There is no one in the town who is lacking in respect for the flu. If there Is, he is to be pitied, but as to the so-called quarantine regulations, the main effect of which seems to be to keep people out of the churches, there is considerable d'fference of opinion. Yes, there is something to the quarantine idea in >me cases, especially when you know what you are doing. It has been of value in epidemics of various diseases; but as to i would be silly. But where there is any 1 protection in such a quarantine as has been "enforced" here, or as is being ' enforced, is difficult to see. The situation is suggestive of the misfortune of I the poor fellow who caught cold when he slept in a pasture because he neglected to put up the bars. There might have been some wisdom in the closing of the schools. That step was ; at least in keeping with stock quarantine regulations: but there are more . people congregating on the streets on i Saturday afternoons than are generally in any of the churches on Sundays, and several of the stores had bigger crowds than are usually to be found in the picture show. It will have to be | admitted that the possibility of an effective quarantine against influenza has not yet been established, and it stands to reason that if such a quarantine is " possible it would pretty nearly have to 1 amount to the suspension of evenkind of business activity that Involves ! any kind of business congregation But a quarantine which closes up the churches without laying: any appreciable restriction upon so many other different kinds of miscellaneous assemblages is obviously little more than a farce. VICTORY CELEBRATION. i It was the most enthusiastic and universally joyous, and from that i standpoint, the greatest celebration, in the history of Yorkvllle. This was the celebration that followed yesterday morning on the receipt of the news that Germany had signed the arniis ttce terms proposed oy America ana the Allies to Germany. The armistice was signed at 5 o'clock Paris time, which, according to Washington time, was midnight < Sunday. The news was sent out from the slate department at Washington at -.50 o'clock a. m., and reached Yorkville at 3 o'clock, only to minutes later. Within a very few i minutes afterward the people were awakened by the honking of automobile horns, explosions of dynamite, the firing of shotguns and pistols, and the loud singing hum and clang of the fire wagon as the big machine raced up and down the different streets. The first news came from the central telephone office. The night operators, Misses Minnie Thomasson and Mamie Barnwell, had been on the alert all night, listening for news that was soon to break. They were in constant touch with. Charlotte, Columbia and other cities, and at 3 o'clock they got the word from the Charlotte Observer that the great event had happened. Having in mind the previous premature reports, the ladies confirmed t$?.oews through Columbia and elseIre, and then began waking up the people. About this time there came a message from Mr. M. L. Smith of Clover, to John R. Hart, Esq., of Yorkville. bringing the same news. Others seemed to have been sleeping, but Mr. Hart responded immediately. Jumping into his ear as soon as possible , after he could get into his clothes, he rode through the streets, honking and shouting, while Mrs. Hart began to occupy her time assisting Central with the pleasant task of spreading the news. Within a matter of twenty minutes, it was a Chlstmns. the Fourth of July, and Thanksgiving, all rolled into one. Men. women and children began to pour into the streets and drift toward the courthouse corner, wh'le the cracking of shotguns and pistols, and the booming of dynamite could be heard from all parts of the town. Eights appeared in the churches, all bells beran ringing and the factory whistles Joined In the enthusiastic din. Along about half-past four o'clock a bondflre was lighted at the courtbouse, and while the crowd, which had now begun to fill up the streets, was stdl shooting and yelling, some body suirifest?d a prayer-meeting 'lev. Dr. njilesnle and Rev. J. L. Oates approved the Idea and the unhesltnt!ncr manner In which the hip crowd urged into the courtroom attested the heartiness of its sympathy. It Is true that hoys and men conMnued to Are their puns and pitols as thev valued to ami tin the front st-ns and some kept it up until they had rossed the front port'eo to the en'rance of the building; hut once inside all liecame attentive and rev' rent. There was no set programme, to he sure. The whole thinp had been too t"ir>romptu to admit of anvthine like this: but as the assemblape knew what It was there for. further programme was unnecessary. Jno. R. Hart called the meeting to order with the announcement that all felt It to be a fitting time to give thanks to the Almighty God because it had been His pleasure to confer this priceless blessing on humanity; but observing Mayor Johnson enter the room as ho was about to proceed further. Insisted on surrendering the chair. * yor Johnson, although preferring to ailow proceedings to continue as they had been commenced, assumed charge and requested Rev. J. L. Oates to lead in prayer. Mr- Oates responded in an earnest acknowledgment of the love, mercy and wisdom of God. He returned thanks for the guidance and guardianship that has been manifested throughout all the trials and tribuia tions through which the world had passed, and thanked God for the brave, splendid Americans who had vindicated the right on the battlefield. Also he asked for God's special blessings upon the men of the armies still In the field, and returned thanks that it all means that the kingdom of Christ is at last making Itself manifest to the world. Next Mayor Johnson called upon Rev. Dr. Gilleepie, who made a most appropriate three-minute talk in which he described the news of the morning as the answer to the prayers that Christians In America and throughout the world had been offering up all these years. One great meaning of it all was that north and south, east and west, and In fact Christians of the entire world were now really getting together under the banner of Christ. He concluded his remarks with praise and thanks to God through his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (Loud applause.) Mr. W. D. Grist responded to a call from the mayor with a brief declaration that this is the second most momentous event in the life of humanity. The first was when the angels of God announced to the shepherds of Gallilee that on that day a child was born a savior of the world. The meaning of the announcement that God had made through other Instrumentalities that morning was that after two thousand years of turmoil and strife, light had triumphed over darkness and the world has at last become subject to the kingdom of Christ. Mayor Johnson next called for Rev. B. H- Waugh or Rev. T. T. Walsh to pronounce a benediction, but neither of these gentlemen happening to be present. Rev. J. L, Oatee mounted a chair and led In the singing of the long meter doxology, which the assemblage Joined in. The meeting was closed with a benediction by Dr. Gillespie. The audience, including men and women, except possibly with the applause accorded Dr. Gillespie, conducted Itself as if In a church, and at the conclusion of the brief service filed out of the building, those with guns and pistols to resume their shooting, and others to continue their rejoicing with their families Again along about 9 o'clock, the crowds began to reassemble around the courthouse, and J. S. Brice, Esq.. made a short talk in connection with some announcements of the day's programme. The news of the day. Mr. Bnce said, furnished occasion for unrestrained rejoicing because of the triumph of right over wrong, of good over evil, and it is but right and proper that we should recognise the hand of God in it all. ! Referring to matters connected with ! the work of the exemption board, he said: I "Out of it all there has been more , or less reflection on the patriotism of this man or that man?hard talk and | the like: but I want to say this. There has been no warrant for any accusa tion of this kind, no just ground for | criticism. Each and all have met the situation like the true patriotic Ameri, cans that they are. and there is not a annivvonK fnr fl nvh?H V. Vtuiu VI ic|/iunvu 4VI WW^,( (Cheers). "And I want to say this for the negroes. They have met the situation like men. They have been as earnest and eager to do their duty as any of us. There have been a few unworthy cases, of course; but these have been individual cases. The negroes as a race have measured fully up to their duty in a way that would be a credit to any people. This is not only true of those who had to go; but of those who were exempt. Time and again as these have come before our board registered men with families and who were exempt under the rules. We wanted to test them with the declaration that although we were sorry we would have to send them to the army, and invariably the reply would be to the effect: "Whatever you want to do with me. I am here to answer to your call." (Cheers and applause.) Mr. Brice then referred to the prayer sendee of the morning and expressed his regret at having missed it. because he felt that it would have been good if everybody had been there. Then he announced another prayer service to be held around the courthouse steps at 12 o'clock, and Mayor Johnson announced an automobile parade to be headed by the fire truck to leave the courthouse steps at 11 o'clock and return in time for the prayer service. Also Mr. Brice announced the big War Work gathering to be held at the same place. The parade, though quickly organized, was quite an interesting and enjoyable affair. The tire wagon, driven by Mr. Faulkner, and carrying a few firemen with a large number of children, was followed by a long string of automobiles., decorated with tlags of America and the Allies and carrying a big representation of the citizenship of the town and surrounding country- In some were entire families. Joyous and happy, and others carried along their owners with friends and acquaintances, including all who desired to participate. The prayer service at the courthouse . lme somewhat ahead of the time appointed. Already there when the procession returned, there was a large assemblage in waiting, and with the gathering now swelled to what looked like a multitude it . was deemed best not to delay the people unnecessarily in the cold, and the service was commenced at 11.30. After the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, America and the Marseillaise by the assemblage Rev. Dr. Gillespie, resumed the exercises by reading from the Book of Exodus, the famous song of the Israelites after the overthrow of the Egyptian hosts. Following Dr. Gillespie. Rev. J. E. Mahaffey told the audience again of how God raised up the American people as a special instrument with which to establish a reign of right and Justice In the world. Rev. J. L. Oates offered up a heartfelt prayer, in the conclusion of which he petitioned that our people wofild be enabled to realize and appreciate the hand ot God In all this?that it was not by their might or their power, but by the might and power of God. Rev. T. T. Walsh said that this was one of the greatest days in human history?a day to which future generations will look back with Joy and pride. This day America has vindicated herself as the savior of the world, and President Wilson is now established as one of the greatest men of this or any other age. But in all this glorification, which is right, we must keep our minds and hearts true to the tasks that still rest upon us. remembering the great part we are to play in rebuilding and restoring the civilization of the world. And too. while rejoicing as well may we rejoice, let us not forget the glory which belongs on high; but remember with Kippllng. "Oh, I.?ord God of Hosts, be with us yet, lest we forget." Mr. Walsh concluded his remarks with prayer. Rev. Dr. Gillespie followed Mr. Walsh with a brief talk, repeating in substance the thoughts he had expressed in the previous meeting of the early dawn. The service waa concluded with a benediction by Dr. Gillespie, after the singing of the doxology. In the afternoon the colored people had a Victory parade along the streets in automobiles, and they also showed Joyous enthusiasm over the situation. LOCAL LACONICS Draft Calls Canceled. The president yesterday afternoon issued an order canceling all outstanding draft calls, including those for November.

In total purchases to date York county has to her credit $379,657.50, or $7.28 per capita. Doubled Apportionment. There was a tremendous crowd at t'nited War Work mass meeting for the western district of York county before the courthouse door last night, rhr meeting was well representative of the whole district and included a number of people from the carstern 'lstriet also. Dr. D. W. Daniels, oi Clemson college, delivered a magnificent address, after which John A. Ma rlon, Esq., conducted an auction, beginning at $100 and going down to $5. There were sixteen $100 subscriptions, and the sum of all the subscriptions reached something over $3,600, more than double the apportionment of School District No. 11. Paroled During Good Behavior. Harper Williams of York county, convicted in April, 1909, of arson and sentenced to serve twenty years, has been paroled by the governor during good behavior. Accompanying the petition for clemency for WMams was a statement from Hugh G. Brown, who was sheriff of York county at the time the crime was committed, in effect that Williams was at that time confined in the county jail and he, together with other prisoners, attempted to burn a hole large enough to effect their escape, but it was not their Intention to destroy the building. This man has served more than nine years of his sentence and has been sufficiently punished, in the opinion of those familiar with the facts. dperial Notices. Card'of Thanks.

Houses In York County. To White and Colored Trustees of Cooperating Schools?Greetings:? I have a good letter from Mr. J.

We are to begin and start on only c one building at the time. This means, also, that the first Community or School Board to get their part of money or material in hand, will be the first to build schoolhouse. 5. "Be sure of one thing. Do not 1 begin work before everything is ready * ?before everything necessary to put ti the thing through is in hand. * \ And please write me what has been t> done at each place.
