Dogs and other pets which have \v
served as mascots for American units n:
are not to be cast adrift when the p
units are demobili2ed. An order to _
this effect has been formally issued
by Gen. Marshal, chief of staff. The |
war department order known as cir- *
culation No. 12, bearing date of Jan.
10 said: "It has been brought to the E
attention of the war department that
troop units, which have dogs or other
* - "o no moorntM
pei animtus in men mit ,
have abandoned them upon demobili- I
zation and that these animals are now I
outcasts and wanderers. Units should |
be Instructed to make proper dispos- ?
itlon of such animals in accordance S
with the weli known sentiment of the |
societies of the prevention of cruelty J
to animals, prior to the demobilization J
of the unit." ;
? The Krupp plant at Essen is now
working tor the United States government.
The task undertaken by Krupp
consists of making parts for 72 incomplete
cannon, rejected by the American authorities
as part of the war material
offered by the Germans under the b
terms of the armistice. The German it
commission, which has been in Berlin
considering the question of the heavy
guns turned back by the American
authorities, has arrived at Coblenz and c
. report that 80 cannon have been ship- 1
ped to the headquarters of the Ameri- a
can army of occupation to replace big
guns which failed to meet requirements.
With the delivery of the parts ,
for the 72 cannon and the arrival of *
the other 80, the delivery of heavy ar
tlllery to the Americans, will have been
completed. The American allotment
called for 152 heavy guns. 8

A $12,000,000 cotton corporation is if
in process of formation by farmers and b
others interested in the cotton industry, t<
according to a statement by J. J. t<
Brown, commissioner of agriculture of
Oeojgia. Mr. Brown's statement followed
a meeting here Monday between
himself, Daniel J. Sully and farmers *
of Georgia and South Carolina. As jj
described by Mr. Brown, the corpora- w
tion will serve as a marketing and is
financing agency a medium between i(
. the producer and the spinner of cot- f
ton. It will provide a cotton exchange 8!
for the farmers of the southeastern jj
belt and will eventually stop short ^
speculative selling on the cotton ex- v
changes, he said. The directors will
lease, buy or build warehouses, in
which farmers may store their cotton
fof a small charge. ir it is necessar.v ^
money will he advanced on the cotton, h
The corporation will embrace the en- b
tire cotton states, in its activity, but a
will be chartered in Georgia with head- A
quarters probably in Atlanta. h
. Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant ?.
secretary of the navy, after a conference
with Admiral Sims on plans for l!
the demobilization of the American 11
navy in European waters, said Tues- q
day he was confident that, with the
exception of about 3,000 mep, the
American navy would be out of Eu- n
rope not later than February 15. When t]
the armistice was signed there were n
70,000 American soldiers in European c
waters. Today there are approxim- c:
atelt 23,000. Several thousand are at n
aviation stations in France and Ire- 11
land, but are being sent home as rap- n
idly as possible. One of the present I)

difficulties in me way ui annpin,- mobilization
is the uncertainty as to tl
how many German passenger ships o
will be allowed to carry American soldiers
home and as to when the ships
will be delivered. These ships will be a
manned and operated by the American a
navy and their advent into troop ser- w
vice will require the sendees of men 2
at the ports from which they will sail. a
The navy is having little difficulty in ^
disposing of the vast amount of mate- tj
rial and supplies in France. England p

? In the times of war "Britain must n
maintain her fleet to resist unjust ag- b
gression, for if she didn't she would w
starve in a week,' declared William si
Howard Taft in an address a few jt
nights ago. He added that "England's
surpremacy of the seas" in times
of peace had always meant "equality _
for all nations." Asserting that the ^
question of disarmament "must depend
on the success of the league of
nations," the former president con- w
fining; "Some years ago the league of D
nations was an academic question. In J
England they got a league of nations
having the purpose of it to preserve ir
peace, but they refused to put the C(
world peace in it. Now the issue is
acute. The congress at Paris has put a
the issue down as the first subject for tc
its consideration. There are persons
in our country who say that it ought ^
to be postponed. Juries M. Beck, among e!
them, but it seems to me that the rea- u"
son why they have put the league of p
nations first is. as Premier Clemen- n
ceau has said. that, unless you have a j
league of the five great powers, your jj
peace is going to be nothing but a g
scrap of paper." n
Camden, January 22: Robert Lat- w
ta, veteran police officer of the Cam- p
den force, was shot and killed here a
this afternoon when he attemped to b
arrest Howell Hudson, a negro. The
negro had been creating a disturbance
on what is known as "Team Row."
near the Seaboard passenger depot r
anri Policeman Latta had been called "
to arrest him. The negro was armed ^
with a repeating shotgun loaded with *
buckshot and opened fire when the of- P
fleer approached. After shooting the :j
policeman, the negro, still armed with P
the shotgun and a quantity of shells,
barricaded himself in a small house "
and opened fire on those approaching.
A posse of citizens armed with shot. ^
guns and rifles soon formed and by t
shooting through the house the negro .
y was probably mortally wounded with ,
rifle bullets. He was removed to the
county jail, but was later taken to the {j
state penitentiary for safe keeping and t
was barely alive at the time. Police- _
f man I^atta lived only about half an c
hour after being wounded. Only one
shot struck him and that in the breast. I

It looked yesterday as 1* the general
ssembly might adjourn until July on

ranted to adjourn and voted to do so,

ppear so certain that this was the
est thing to do- It was argued that

needed to be looked after, and

There is a lot of promise for the '
rogress of York county in that com- ,
lunity council proposition, is ine peo- ,
le will take hold of it in the right ,
ay. By taking hold of it the right
ay, we mean that all classes of peole
must lend a hand, the farmers, the
lershants, the 1 awyers, drctors and
le preachers. The first big task is to
nprove and perfect transportation
jmmunication among the people of
le various communities. This means
whole lot of things systematic mo>r
truck traffic, regular schedules,
etter roads, means of collecting and
istributing produce of all kinds, the
stablishment of uniform prices for
niform values etc. Of course it is not
urely a trade proposition- There is '
lore to it than that. The successful
evelopment of a system such as out- .
ned will result in development, proress
and uplift of all kinds. The .
lain thing is to get an intelligent start
ithout too many initial mistakes. The
roposition calls for the test brains
nd abilities to be had, though. Everyody
should remember that.
There was a time when the banking .
ower of the country was more in the
ands of individuals than it is now. 1
n those days the controlling banks of
lew York, Boston and Chicago, often
f New York alone, could agree among
hemselves and handle the finances of i
he country as they saw proper, or as
hey desired. If there was a great volme
of loans outstanding, and the volme
of ready money available to the
ieople independent of the banks was
mall in proportion, the financial dictaors
could call for a settlement with
he result of bringing about a most
remendous stringency, if not actual
anic. The governors of the N'ew
fork banks could do very much as
hey pleased, and th.re were none to
ay them nay. Of course this same old
rowd still has tremendous financial
lower; but they are no longer suireme
dictators in the money affairs
if the country. The supreme power
Jong this line now lies with the reHnnnl
r??srvp hoard. Thai board can
nake money plentiful or not as it
leases. It used to be that the City
Cational and other New York banks,
icting together, could force farmers
ind others to put their cotton on the
narket at whatever it would bring,
rhere has been talk during the past
reek or two that such an operation is
iow in progress, and that farmers and
ithers who are holding cotton off the
narket are being squeezed to sell,
rhese reports are being circulated all
ver the south; but there is no truth
n them. Chairman Harding of the rerlAnol
*><team>A Knn n At otn nrl fnr
inything of the kind, according to retorts
from Washington, and he wants
o know of authentic coses where
tanks are trying to force the farmers
o sell- Mr. Harding evidently believes
hat the south is entitled to a fair price
or cotton this year, and he proposes
o do his part to see that this fair price
s forthcoming.
By a vote of 101 to 3 the house of
epresentatives passed over the govrnor's
veto the bill providing that the
'olumbia fSas and Electric company
hould charge only five cents fare beween
the city of Columbia and Camp
ackson. The three who voted to susain
the governor's veto were Speaker
'othran, and R. B. Belser and D. D.
foise of the Sumter delegation. The
tory of the bill goes back to the estabishment
of Camp Jackson at Columia.
Among other things as an inducement
for establishing the camp the
'olumbia street railway promised to
arry all passengers to and from the
amp at 5 cents each way. The prom- i
je was in the nature of a plain conract.
With the extension of the rail- i
av lines to the camp the fare was es- I
tabltshed at 10 cents each way. There
were lota of protests, not only in Columbia
but all over the state- The issue
was the flagrant violation of voluntary
agreement rather than the price
of the fare. Thinking people, or many
of them, were of opinion that the passage
was really worth ten cents and
more, for that matter, and there was
reason for question as to whether the
street railwav company could break
even on a five cents fare, even with
crowded cars. But there was the undisputed
and undisputable agreement,
rhe general assembly took the matter
up and promptly passed a bill to compel
the street railway people to stAnd
by their promise and haul people to
and from the camp for 5 cents each
way. After the adjournment of thei
general assembly the railroad people
got after the governor and he vetoed
the bill, leaving the street railway to
continue to charge 10 cents In the
meantime. Among those who appeared
before the governor in behalf of
the veto was Col. A. C. Dalton, of the
army, then located at Camp Jackson;
but it is not of record that any of the
private soldiers were in the delegation.
The matter has been talked all over
the state ever since the veto, and the
house was quite ready for the veto
when the matter came up.
A TRICK OF THE BEARS.
Federal Reserve Bank Denies Calling
or Restricting Cotton Loans.
At the meeting of the cotton farmers
at the Richland county court house
Tuesday, one of the men present declared
that he had heard that the federal
reserve bank was requiring a reduction
in the amount of the loans on
cotton. Another stated that he had
heard that cotton loans were to be
called, as the federal reserve bank did
not think it proper to finance one crop
In the warehouse and another in the
fields. Tuesday night B. Harris commissioner
of agriculture, was directed
to communicate with Senators E. D.
Smith and W. P. Pollock and representatives
from this state. Mr. Harris
asked for a confirmation or denial of
the report. Senator Smith yesterday
wired Mr. Harris as follows:
! /?/! a rrnvovnAr of
na.ve just uvmr.u uv gvivtiiv. v.
federal reserve board. No foundation
whatever for rumor. Can you give me
any specific instance where any bank
In the federal reserve system or out
of it is threatening to do this thing: 1
would like to get this information."
Congressman Ragsdale wired, "Chairman
Harding emphatically denies any
action looking to reduction of loans on
cotton. He says that he has written
the president of South Carolina Bankers
association, advising that credit be
extended on cotton as security. He is
of the opinion that we must increase
exportation of cotton or reduce acreage."
Congressman Lever sent a similar
message concluding that Mr. Harding
suggests that Mr. Harris "furnish him
with the names of any banks which
might be refusing to discount cotton
papers and promises a prompt and
vigorous investigation of it."
Congressman Bryan also confirmed
the statement that the federal reserve
bank had denied that it had issued
any order in the matter of cotton
loans, and Congressman \V. F. Steven
son wireu luuuna.
"Reserve board claim they have
urged banks not to call loans on cotton
nor to make the restrictions materially
harder, that they are anxious
for all the cotton to be carried until
the export conditions are such that a
fair price can be realized. Governor
Harding is goin? to Atlanta on February
14 and would be open to adIress
cotton growers on that subject
while on that trip."
Mr. Harris said last night: "It begins
to look like w4 have run down
another of the rumors by which the
bear speculators have been trying to
break down the spirit of the farm ere
[>f the south. Mr. Sully, Mr. Weston
and others stated publicly at our meeting
that the federal reserve bank had
been the means of the financial liberation
of the south, and we are made
to believe fom these fine statements
from Mr. Harding that we yet have
powerful friends at our back."
Mr. Harris would be glad for any
persons in the state who have information
on the subject to notify him at
>nce. He did not take the initative
in this matter, and he knows by whom
the statement was made in the conference,
but he wishes ti get all of
the information available. Columbia

Doings of the Irish. The Sinn Feiners
of Ireland, who elected practically
all the representatives to which
Ireland was entitled-in the British
house of commons, and who decided to
occupy no seats in the British house
have organized a parliament of their
own and declared independence of
Great Britain. The Irish parliament
met in London for one day only last
Tuesday, and behind closed doors. The
newspapers were not allowed to publish
the declaration of independence.
The British have sufficient force in
Ireland to control the Situation and the
Sinn Feiners have but few arms with
which to make trouble. Because of
the murder of two policemen who were
guarding a quantity of explosives that
......... ^ k.. ..Ua,i fr... mininc niirnosos.
which explosives the Sinn Feincrs
wanted, the Tipperary district was
placed under what is known as the
crimes act and the entire district is
now under strictly enforced martial
law.

Referring to the activities of various
kinds of criminals, as reported to him
within the past week or two, SherifT
Quinn said: "There was such a noticeable
subsidence of crime during the

times; but now it is beginning to look
as if criminal activities were only being
held in check for the time being
and that how it is all coming to the

A good many people have the idea
that so much of a school district's
fund as may not have been used before
the last day of the year in which it be- I

While it is a fact that few school districts
have anything left over at the
end of the year, where they do have a
surplus that surplus is no less available,
for when once school mone*' is
apportioned .to the credit of trustees,
that money can be checked out only
on the warrant of the trustees.

something be done to protect the large

do with the road, and no right to expend
Ebenezer township's money on
it. I understand that something is to
be done in the way of putting the road
in shape within the next few days."

home and took a look over his office
last Tuesday, after having been down
for several days with the influenza. He
was really not sufficiently recovered to
be able to do anything?hardly fit to
attend to business; but he had the
work of taking returns on his mind so
strongly that he was unable to keep
away. As soon as he gets well enough
Auditor Love hopes to make new appointments
at some of the places he has
not yet been able to visit. In the
meantime all who have not yet done
so will do well to take advantage of
the first opportunity to make their
returns at the office.
CO-COUNTY BRIDGE.
The county board of commissioners
of Mecklenburg county now have authority
to pay two-thirds of the cost of
a bridge across Catawba river between
Yorkville and Charlotte, and the next
move is up to the York delegation in
the general assembly.
Mr. R. S. Riddle, representing those
who are actively promoting the cocounty
bridge over the Catawba, and
Mr. J. C. Wilborn of Yorkville, who
went to Raleigh on /that business
in company with A. M. McDonald of
the Mecklenburg commissioners, returned
yesterday and reports that the
North Carolina legislature is agreeable
to all that has been asked so far.
The "neressarv enabling act has al
ready been passed by the North Carolina
legislature. It is estimated that
the proposed bridge cannot cost more
than (60,000, and it is not believed
that it will cost more then (50,000.
Mecklenburg is authorized to expend
two-thirds of whatever amount is necessary,
and on a basis of (50,000, York
county's part will be (16,666-66 2-3.
The act of the North Carolina legislature
specifies that the bridge must
be located somewhere between Wright's
and Boyd's ferries.

WITHIN THE TOWN
Sneak thieves stole a grip and a
1 $50 overcoat from Mrs. Jane White's
hoarding house last Wednesday afternoon.
While of course everybody has
heard of the "Marsellaise:" but few
local people had really heard it until
that Frenchman, Maj. Edouard Du
Pont sane it last Monday night.
Wednesday was a most beautiful
"spring* day and people came to Yorkville
from all sections, especially altogether
by the special sale put on by
the Kirkpatrick Belk company. With
the coming of the rain yesterday, a
heavy drenching' rain, which set out
in the morning as if it were going to
last all day, conditions were very much
changed, and business was less active
"n all lines.
The influenza situation at the
Church Home Orphanage has been on
the increase instead of the decrease
during the past week. There were
eighty cases on hand yesterday; but
none of them were especially serious,
there being no pneumonia. There are
four trained nurses in attendance, two
from Camp Wadsworth, one from
Shelby and one from Atlanta. The local
Red Cross is doing what it can in
every way, especially in the daily
preparation of soup and other suitable
food for the patients.
The old frame building formerly
used by the local congregation of the
Associate Reformed church, having
been sold to Mr. J. F. Kell, is being
torn down for re-erection in Rock
Hill. This building was erected shortly
after the organization of the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian congregation
in Yorkville in 1863, and it was
used continuously by that congregation
until it went into its present handsome
new building in 1913, a period of
sixty years.
ABOUT PEOPLE.

fully determined.
Miss Annie McPheeters, of Yorkville,
has been quite ill for some days, and
at times her condition seemed quite
critical, but she appeared to be somewhat
better yesterday.
Mrs. Milly Warner, and adopted son,

saw service in the fighting in the
neighborhood of the Argonne forest

LOCAL LACONICS
Community Organization.
The Community Council idea, so
auspiciously launched in the meeting
at Winthrop last Saturday, is to be
pushed to further development, at
least to the point of demonstrating
whether or not York county wants or
is ready for serious work along this
line. A committee consisting of ProfsJohn
F. Thomasson and J. W. Thompson,
Hon. John E. Carroll, Prof. W.
H. Ward and Miss Minnie Garrison,
has been appointed for the purpose of
taking further stepB, including the
falling of a county congress, to be
composed of representatives from all
parts of the county. This congress will
be called later, in the discretion of the
committee.
Housebreaking at Tirzah.
Thieves broke into the postofflce,
railroad office, T. B. Glenn's cotton office
and Fred E. Smith's store, at Tirzah
last Tuesday night. Eleven dollars
was secured from Mr. Glenn's office,
and a few cents out of Mr. Smith's
cash register; but so far as is known
nothing else was stolen. The railroad
office was entered through a window,
as was also the cotton office. A plank
was pulled off the front of the postofflce,
and in the case of Mr. Smith's
store the thieves broke a pane of glass
from the front door, stuck in an arm
and turned the key. So far there has
developed no clue as to the identity of
the thieves.
Fort Mill National Bank.
The stockholders of the First National
Bank of Fort Mill, at their annual
meeting on Wednesday, of last
week, elected the following directors:
W. B. Ardrey, T. B. Spratt, Dr. J. Lee
Spratt, Osmond Barber, L. A. Harris,
J. J. Bailee, Jr., S. W. Parks, J. B.
Mills and H. N. Patterson. The directors
chose W. B. Ardpey as chairman of
their board, and "elected Thomas B.
Spratt, president; Dr. J. Lee Spratt vice
president and cashier; Osmond Barber
vice president, and W. A. Roach, teller.
The report of the president showed
a remarkably prosperous year.
Semi-annual profits amounting to 4 per
cent were divided among the stockholders
and 30 per cent was passed to
the surplus fund.
Speaker Clark Talks Sense. Speaker
Champ Clark declared in the house
during debate of the diplomatic appropriation
bill Wednesday in favor
of "every American soldier being withdrawn
from Russia and the rest of
Europe." He answered criticisms of
the course of Ambassador Francis of
Russia by saying it came- from momhPi-s
icnorant of conditions there.
"Cleneral Dupont in a recent interview,"
said the speaker, "said our boys
would be kept over seas for another
two years. He made enough money
out of selling- powder during the war
to fill this house with one dollar bills,
and he says our boys will be needed
to help tear down barbed wire and police
Europe.
"If the Belgians and French want
the wire torn down let them do it themselves.
After we licked the Gertnans for
them they surely can police Europe
themselves. The most sensible thing
that President Wilson has said was
that he was going to bring those soldiers
home."

The Fatherless Clilldren of France
.We cannot afford to lose France from among
the nations of the earth, and so in this sympathetic
country of ours there has grown up a
really great organization called the "Fatherless
Children of France."
Through it any person or group of persons,
for a small sum. may save and protect a child
of France. $36.50 keeps a child a year in its
mother's home. Subscriptions may be paid by
the year, quarter or month, and a child may be
assigned upon pledge of a year's care. Every
school in York county can arrange to adopt a
French orphan, if the privilege of doing so,
sppeals to them.
The pledge and the first installment is sent
through the County Chairman to John P.
Thomas, Secretary, Columbia, S. C., and is recorded
by him. Then subsequent payments,
monthly or quarterly, may be sent directly to
S. T. Carter, Treasurer, Columbia, S. C., who
Keeps an account with each pledgor. This in
iormauon applies w hiuiviuuaid no ncn m ^
schools adopting: on the installment plan. 150
orphan remain of South Carolina's apportionment
for adoption. This is York county's opportunity.

By instruction of Mr. W. T- Beamguard,
Chairman of the Campaign for
the Relief of War Sufferers in the Near
East, I am making the following report
of what has been accomplished
up to January^:*
In Clover an Intensive house-to-house
canvass in the interest of the sufferers
in the Near East, was put on last Sunday
afternoon. As a result of this
canvass 3590.02 was subscribed for the
Relief fund, $510.05 of which was paid
in cash.
Mr. J. Roy Grayson, principal, has
reported $15.30 cash, raised bv the
Filbert school on last Thursday.
Rev. W. P. Grier has reported $65
raised by Bethany church; $17:35 raised

engaged in all sections and good' reports
are expected from all parts of
western York. Those who have reported
