Scraps and -farts. ; n By a vote of 805 to 4 the house has passed the bill authorizing an appropriation of 8750,000.000 for the railroad administration's revolving fund. De- ? mocratie members urged a large amount, but did not press any amend- * ment for an Increase while Republicans * declared the fund would be sufficient until later in the year when future s needs would be known. The measure now goes to the senate where leaders ( plan early action. Votes against the appropriations were cast by Representatives Anthony, Kansas: Ramse- . yer, Iowa: Woodward, West Virginia, Republicans and Thcmas, Kentucky Democrat. None of them urged bis obiections to the bill during the debate which was marked by the Injection ot considerable political discussion. ? Hostility between the American soldiers and the German civilians in the occupied region which has been increasing recently, has resulted in additional clashes during the last few days according to a dispatch from Coblenz. In one instance an American was killed and in other encounters in various parts of the occupied zone several Americans were wounded. At third army headquarters today it was said that at least six Americans had been killed by civilians since the American troops reached the Rhine. Ger- ( man officials say that so far as their records go, the number of Germans killed by Americans in tights during the six months of occupation are five. , Incidentally, the Germans admit that they are keeping a record of the treat- < ment of civilians by the Americans, j paying particular attention to encounters where the civilians contended the soldiers were to blame. ? Probably the only Y. M. C. A. entertainer in Germany in possession of j an evening gown which is the creation of a doughboy is Miss Paula Lind Ayers, formerly a concert singer in t New York city. Her trunk was lost on r one of her trips and she found herself g on the opening night of a big "Y" theater with only a uniform to wear. A * ?ko/t honn n rlerk in one sergeant nw >.?v. of the big' shops in New York offered to cut and make a gown. He had never made a gown, he explained, but r he had seen it done, and it looked easy t to him. A committee of doughboys , accompanied Miss Ayres on her shopping tour in the village, and voted for c some rather violently rose tinged material as their choice for the frock. Within three hours the sergeant had the dress made. That night boys hung r from the rafters of the new theatre to g hear Miss Ayers sing and to see her t gown, the fame of which had spread through the di\'ision. Mooresville N. C., June 10: Os- e car M. Craven, a prominent young t farmer of the Coddle creek community g was instantly killed by a stroke of lightning yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, while cutting wheat in a field c near his home. Two mules and a horse 1; were also killed at the same time. A p . negro sitting on one of the mules which was killed was unharmed with the exception of being stunned. The wife and three children were standing near 0 the machine on which Mr. Craven was a sitting. Mr. Craven had Just put in a ball of twine and his little girl was standing right behind the machine a holding the twine for him. His wife j and three children were knocked down, but were uninjured. There was no rainfall at the time. Deceased was 34 d years of age and a son of R. P. Craven c a prominent and influential farmer of t the country. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 4 o'clock at Cod- c die Creek church, conducted by his i pastor, Rev. R. C. Davidson. 1 Washington, June 10: Return to r 9. non former Ger- T Irermtuiy ui aw 14v v v man officers and sailors taken from German vessels when the United States seized enemy shipping at the outbreak of the war, will begin about July 1. Those to be released now are being held at Forts McPherson and Oglethorpe. Forty other enemy aliens at first interned at Panama and later taken in custody by the United States, will be returned next week to Panama, preparatory to being sent back to Panama and Austria- The aliens to be returned from Forts McPherson and Oglethorpe will be designated from a list prepared by the Swiss legation and probably will be embarked at Charleston, S.

The United States government will pay all the expenses of the prisoners to the ship, but the cost of passage and the transfer from the port of debarkation to their homes will be charged to their government The Panama convoy will go from New Or- r leans, probably on the army transport r Kilpatrlck. c President Wilson, in a cablegram received Wednesday by Senator Hitch - ' >h.. r cock of Nebraska, said ne nupcu investigation by the senate foreign re- t lations committee of how copies of the t peace treaty reached private interests ? in New York would "be most thorough- " ly prosecuted." The president's mes- t sage, transmitted through the White t House and read by Senator Hitchcock g when the foreign relations committee met to plan its investigation, was as r follows: "I am heartily glad that you f have demanded an investigation with v regard to the possession of texts of the treaty by unauthorized persons. I 1 have felt that it was highly undersir- t able officially to communicate the text s of a document which is still in negotiation and subject to change. Any ' one who has possession of the official ? English text has what he is clearly not entitled to have or to communicate. I have felt in honor bound to act in the same spirit and in the same way as the representatives of the other t great powers in this matter, and am j confident that my fellow-countrymen will not expect me to break faith with 8 them. 1 hope the investigation will a be most thoroughly prosecuted." t ? During May the secretary of agri- \ culture approved project statements for 124 federal aid projects, involving in the improvement of 750.87 miles of road at a total estimated cost of $15,- s 120,771.00, and on which federal aid v in the amount of $6,382,081.28 was requested. This represents the largest * number of project statements approved t during any month since wie pa of the federal aid road act. During the month there were executed by .he secretary and the several state high- <i way departments 81 project agree- t ments, involving the improvement of 667.71 miles of road at a total estimated cost of $7,992,867.25. and on which $3.- 1 570.087.22 federal aid was requested * and set aside in the treasury. In ad- s dition, agreements to cover 59 other . projects were placed in process of execution during the month. Up to and r including May 31, 1919. project state- r ments for 1,188 projects had been ap- ( proved. The 1.188 projects involve 11,350.10 miles of road, a total estimated 1 cost of $108,295,329.15. and a total of c $43,076,176.63 federal aid. On the same date 617 project agreements had been executed, involving 5,291.86 miles of road, at a total estimated cost of $17,- s 426,749.49, of which $19,521,259.27 was r from federal funds. j How the peace treaty reached private hands in New York and thus stirred up a sensation in the senate was * established at a two-hour hearing before the foreign relations . committee Wednesday. Senator Lodge revealed that the com- he saw was shown him by Elihu Root, a former secretary of I state. Mr. Root told the committee he got it from Henry P. Davison, a member of the Morgan banking house and head of the Red Cross, and Mr. Davison in turn testified it was given him c in Paris by Thomas W. I.amont. .an- s other Morgan partner attached to the & American peace mission. J. P. Mor- J gan and Frank A. Vanderlip. retiring * r,.ooMr,Bt nf thfi National City bank. c also before the committee, said they s never had seen a copy. With that the committee adjourned without setting a date to continue the hearing: and with members on both sides of the treaty controversy saying privately that the investigation apparently was over. Mr. Davison said he secured the copy to clear up the status of the Rod Cross unner me learni" 01 luiuuun. ...... ... . had used It in a financial way. Ho had ' show" It to no one except Mr. Root ' ho continued, and had sent it to him 1 because he know the former secretary < was beinc consulted by the American ' mission. Mr. Root wave it as his opin- ( ion that there was notbinar improper in 1 . the way the trentv reached him and that he was free to use it as he chose. ? There could be nothing secret about it. he told the committee, because the 1 German eovernment had made It pub- < Ac. Under questioning. Mr. Root, who s appeared in the inquiry voluntarily, i vent on_to say that while the senate ras in its right in asking for a copy ifter the treaty became public in Gernanv. President Wilson also was withn his in withholding it if he chose. Ill witnesses said they had hearu runors of other copies in New York but lid not know whether they existed. Jke statements were made in telerraras to the commmittee by Jacob ?chiff, of Kuhn. Loeb & Co.. and Paul kVarburg. formerly a partner in the same firm. Jhf ^JorlmUr (ftiquitrr Entered at the Postofflce at York as Mail Matter of the Second Class. FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1919. Sure, somebody's got to woik, else sverybody can't eat. It is rather difficult to see what Lodge, Borah and others are driving at >ther than to mix things up generally, ind surely they cannot expect to gain i great deal by anything like that. Information yesterday was that the Vllies would today make their reply to he German peace proposals a.id that he Germans will be allowed five days nore in which to sign or decline to ign. The women suffragists of South Car >lina are arranging for an active camwiign in behalf of the ratification by he general assembly of the proposed roman suffrage amendment to the institution. Now comes the declaration from nedieal sources, that the boys who rained so much weight during their nilitary service are losing it steadily ince their discharge. Of course evrybody knows it was not the cooking hey had in the army that helped put o much weight on the boys. The only easonable theory upon which to ac:ount for the whole thing is the reguar habits and regular exercise they rot then as compared with now. Alvin C. York is not for sale at $30,i00 a week or any other price not yet iiyway. A moving picture concern ifTered him $30,000 to give his time for . week in a moving picture drama relating in a way the feat on account if which he became famous. But he leclined. He did not have much to say me way or the other; but was simply lot at all interested in the offer. Of lourse if he intends- to turn his fame nto money he does not have to be in a lurry about it. He will have opportulities along that line for quite a while, f he shall do something of the kind ater on, it will only be what most othsr people would have done; but still here are those who will be disap>ointed. They are probably not able o point out what he really ought to lo, no more than they would have >een able to make good throughout hat wonderful crisis in which he seems o have had miraculous direction and jrotection- But of course it is hoped hat this hero will do nothing to detho cinrv that attaches to lim up to this time. The attitude of the high peace comnissioners with reference to the adnission of Germany into the league of lations has undergone a considerable ihange and it is still changing. The >riginal idea was not to admit Gernany until she had not only promised o be good; but had shown by her acts hat she really intended to be good. 5he was to be kept in a state of pro>ation for quite a while until it suited he associated powers to change her I itatus in fact. Now the sentiment is ather in favor of admitting Germany rom the beginning on an equal basis vith the other powers. France is not ully reconciled to the idea, it seems: >ut President Wilson seems to be itrongly inclined that way and the trobability is that this is what will be lone. Personal Service. One of the doctrines that is being aught by Lecturer Mobley of the Inernational Han-ester company's farm itaff is that sooner or later every man ind woman in this country will be >rought to the point where he or she vill be compelled to do his or her own fc-udgery. "I am not teaching social'sm, or bolihevism, or anarchism, or revolution; >ut the plain and simple truth," said dr. Mobley, "and the reason I am eaching it is because the sooner you >ecome impressed with this truth, the ooner you will realize the need of lualifying yourself to meet the condiions as they arise." "It is next to impossible," declared dr. Mobley, "to induce a gently raised voman to do housework for pay. They :eem to have an instinctive feeling that onmcthine dpirradine in con lection with such work and they will lot do it for pay. The only way they ?an be induced to do the household Irugdery is as the wives of the owners >f the houses." A good part of Mr. Mobley's very ible lecture was devoted to the proportion that more and more in the hereifter than has been the case in the jast, each individual will have to look ifter his own personal drudgery regardless of his wealth. WIREWORKERS ON STRIKE. Jnion Leaders Claim Tie-up Company Officials Say Situation Not Serious. Chicago, June 11. Union leaders dedared tonight that the first day r?iponse to the call for a nation-wide trike of commercial telegraph operaors gave promise that the tie-up will >e complete in three days, despite the daims of company officials that the itrike has failed. Reports received by the Associated ?ress from many towns in various secions of the country indicate that comnercial telegraph business was not seriously interrupted in most districts. A statement by President Carlton ol he Western Union Telegraph company, that only about 166 persons, 121 )f them operators, answered the strike all, brought from S. J. Kokenkanip. nternational president of the Comnercial Telegraphers' Union of Ameri... ~ " -I' *V?r.+ mnrn than thflt mini >er of Western Union employes in Chicago alone had joined the strike by loon today. "Reports up to late today point to i SO per cent respoiwe in the Postal Telegraph company service and a 70 ?er cent response from Western Union employes." said Konenkamp in a statement to the Associated Press tolight. "The east has shown up sur t prtsingly well and In the southeast alone the number of strikers now exceeds 8,000. Telephone workers have added to the strikers' numbers in Philadelphia. New Orleans, Columbia, S. I C., and Brunswick, Ga. When the electrical workers go on a nation-wide 1 strike Monday, additional telephone ^ workers also will go out. Railroad telegraphers in all parts of the coun- i try are refusing commercial business and trouble anew is impending in Can- ^ ada because of refusal of Canadian c telegraphers to handle American busi- " ness" ( In a statement declaring only a few Western Union operators had quit, Ed- ] ward F. Wach, deputy vice president of the Association of Western Union 1 Employes, said the 30,000 members of . that organization were not connected with the C. T. U. A. demands. Sixtyfive per cent of all Western Union em- *] ployes are represented in the association, he said. J "The Association has an agreement ( with the Western Union whereby it is i-QPnimiwiri and is Dermitted to bargain ( collectively for wages and hours," he " said. "We obtained a five and ten per j cent increase under Postmaster General Burleson and are promised adjust- 1 ment of certain parts of a schedule en- . tered into with the company which " was not fulfilled by the postmaster gen- , eral. "Reports from locals in all sections i of the country show Western Union employes on the job with a few excep- 1 tions, which are negligible." To substantiate his claim, Mr. Wach displayed telegrams from association officials in various districts saying conditions were normal. 1 He said not a single operator in the Western Union Chicago office struck . and explained that empty chairs were merely for use when emergency relay 1 sets were in operation. To this Konen- t kamp asserted th it "the vacant chairs were occupied yeeterday." E. W. Collins, general superintendent of the Postal Telegraph company . in Chicago, admitted that a large num- . ber of their 300 operators had quit, but insisted that if the "agitators about the r building were driven away, many em- { ployes would come to work " Police protection was asked by the Western Union here after numerous * street clashes of a minor character. \ Delivery servi^ was hampered late L in the day Western Union * messenger bojHK the main office, with the exception of four joined the strike. It was charged that they had been intimidated and messages taker, from them. Many of the Postal messengers here c also struck in sympathy. Mr. Collins f said he did not know what the general situation was as to Postal strikers, but a "?mr,nnv had not been seri limi mc wwr.-, ously affected. "We expect quick improvement," he said. Speaking at a meeting of strikers tonight Konenkamp said the telegraphers would "fight all the way to prevent further discrimination against the union workers. "We want the right to organize and the right to bargain collectively through a legitimate trade union," he said. "With these principles established, all other questions would be quickly disposed of by some fair tribunal." ' ? ' a MILL TROUBLE ADJUSTED. e Concord and Kannapolis Difference ** Settled on Open Shop Basis. The tie-up in the mill situation at ^ Concord. N. C. has been cleared, and t all mills in the city opened for work Wednesday morning. The announcement was made by the union officials c and the mill owners late Tuesday af- ^ ternoon, after a conference between the r two. ' The following statement .was issued v by the officials of the union, with the _ approval of the mill owners: "Mill owners and representatives of union and non-union employes met here today and definitely settled all . differences. , "The mill owners make the following t concessions: i "The mill owners make no discrimination between union and non-union ? employes, mills to be operated on the principle of 'open shop.' xriii niunot-s will cheerfully meet ? with their own employes at any time ? for purpose of adjusting any matters of mutual concern that may raise and grant them 55-hour week's work on f basis of pay for 60-hour week's work, and in addition to this cancel all obligations employes are now due them for house rent, during the 10 weeks mills were closed down. "There were accepted by the repre- t sentatives and there appears now to ^ be nothing but harmony between mill owners and employes. So tomorrow ' morning the mill whistles of Cabarrus v county will again blow, to the great de- t light Oi every inhabitant of Cabarrus 0 county, "(Signed) Concord: J. H. Monroe, president; L. B. Barnhardt, secretary f and treasurer. Kannapolis: Otis A. Minton, president; C. A. Suther, sec- v retar.v and treasurer." P Representatives of all the Concord and Kannapolis mills involved were c present at the conference when thtsar- c rangement was reached. The situation in Concord has been h rather serious for the past month. The mills have been closed for 10 6 weeks, and, while there has been lit- d tie nhvsical violence, the situation was o daily growing more serious. One (team <= occurred at Concord in connection with t the closing of the mills, though this F was the only serious trouble which oc- t curred. t! The employes did not ask for recog- I nition when the mills closed. Many a of them joined the union and the mill s owners at that time did not want to employ union labor. This caused many n of the employes to stop work, and for t. this reason the mills have been idle. i< The mills began work again Wed- y nesdav morning on the "open shop" f plan, as mentioned above. This means h that there will be no discrimination z against the non-union men by the un- t ion members, and no discrimination e against the union men by the mill c owners. The agreement reached has p the hearty approval of each side, and a ..n .liCmnnroc nrp considered settled. a The members of the union had a n big celebration at the courthouse Tues- d day night. and all mill owners and e others were invited. With this cele- s bration it is felt that the mill situation b at Concord will be settled for sure, and v all things will continue on the old ba- a sis. The employes will be Riven a 55- f hour week with a 60-hour week pay h basis. r Hastening of the Windup. Distinct ^ progress reported on the reply of the Allied and associated governments to P the German counter proposals and in- c dictations are that the reply will be 8 ready for delivery 'oday according to an Associated Press dispatch. The Germans will he given five days' * limit for final action, which would i! therefore come on or before June 18. The main feature of this progress was an agreement regarding the reparation terms, which have been the subject of a sharp controversy during the past 10 days. v As finally adopted, the terms do not fix the definite amount of reparations t but the commission is required to fix g the amount within four months of the signing of the treaty. v The main changes are explanations, -5 rather than modifications, in order to meet the contention that the financial commission was vexatious inquisitor- ? ial and infringed Germany's right to J conduct her own financial affairs. The revived terms clear away much that t was oj?en to the construction of being C vexatious. Pinal action on Germany's request j for admission to the league of nations. , has not yet been reached, but the dis- v eussH n is declared to bo tending toward an accord. The Silesian ques- ^ tion. which has given difficulty also ^ has virtually been settled. Though all the chances are that the ......1.. ,,-iii 1.,. delivered hv the end of * ' - , the week, I'resident Wilson has made 1 no plans to leave for Brussels, as he has an engagement in Paris for Sat- t urdny night. Colonel House will leave t for London Friday night and will re- 1 main there during' the five days allowed the Germans. He will return for j the signing of the treaty next week. \ It is practically certain that the revised treaty will not be submitted to , plerary conference with the smaller ( powers before the reply is sent to the Germans. The revised treaty and memorandum accompanying the treaty will ^ be sent to Count von Rrockdorff-Ran- ' tzau. head of the German delegation, by messenger without ceremony. It NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

U - . ^ S! The Tree cnautauqua 01 me interna- ^ ional Harvester company at Filbert on 0 Tuesday and at Oak Ridge yesterday, p yas a notable event in this county, well c rorth while to the farmers who at- ?( ended and calculated to be productive a if beneficial results for years to come, tl It was far more than a demonstra- c Ion of tractors, motors, food grind- 81 ig mills, and electric power plants. It a yas a great deal more than a mere ? proposition in commercial selling. It " ncluded a series of practical high- 0 lass lectures on the problems of agri- p ultural and domestic life that were nstructive to a degree that could not o lave been anticipated In advance- C The attendance at I ilbert was very A ;ood. People droppec in and out all K iay. They came fron long distances e' ver the northern, western and north- b astern part of the county. At times n here were two or three hundred peo- tl ile present, and at other times the at- ri endance was smaller. Some took in b he lectures of Mr. Mobley, and Mrs. C lowie, in snatches, and others listened 1( ttentively and steadily to all that was L aid. t< Mr. Mobley is an agriculturist of ci iatlonal reputation, and Mrs. Howie is h he best known dairy woman in Amer- ii ca. Mr. Mobley farmed for thirty-five tl ears and wasted Jots of time and ef- o: ort because of the things he did not a now. Eventually he became cogni- h ant of many important secrets of na- ei ure that had been overlooked by oth- e< rs, and since then he has been sue- S1 essful. He is lecturing now because u eople who have the money and who n re willing to foot the bills, have been l ble to persuade him that he can be of n nore use to the country as a whole by evoting his time to telling the farmrs the things he has learned by ob- _ ervatlon, study and experience than ? iy raising crops. Mrs. Howie has al- b rays been a success as a dairy woman, m nd it is because of the tremendous b und of knowledge and experience she t las acquired that she is now on the ^ oad. It is not practicable to reproduce the .j ronderful lectures that are being deIvered by these home-farm school ex>erts. It would require columns and ? olumns, and even at that the many ?( triking practical illustrations cannot U ICpiuu uvvui But it is a great series of lectures " hese people are giving a series that n 3 well worth while and that will sure- , y be of helpful, uplifting effect. n ABOUT PEOPLE h Miss Esther Ashe, of Yorkville is ^ Isiting friends in Columbia. ?'

Possession of a registration certiflate is an absolutely necessary prereuisite to the right to vote in any legal lection and no registration certificate an be held as evidencing the right of he holder to cast a vote at any preinct on any question until thirty days fter the date of the issuance thereof. That is the sum and substance of an pinion that has Just come down from he office of the attorney general in re ly to questions from Hon. J. S. Brice, sking for a ruling on the proposition utllned. The matter had become of special interest in connection with the chool elections being held from time o time, whether people who sleep over heir rights to qualify themselves until fter an election has bCten called, may hen qualify themselves to vote in such lection.

HERE AND THERE Misses SaunJers and Garrison, the chool attendance officers, are at work n the problem of dividing up the ehool territory of the county between tiem. The division is being made on basis of school groups in such a way bat the work of both officers will run Ide by side throughout the county. A truck man from Gastonia has esiblished a weekly truck route over in5 the Bethany, Ramah, and Piedmont prings country. He deals in everytiing that is good to eat and takes out f the country each trip all the surplus roducts he can get in the way of hickens, eggs, butter, hams, honey, fr% of arr\r\A nrinofl Thft rill inP- nHftft ar eggs up to last week was 40 cents dozen; but the understanding was hat there had been a decline to 37 1-2 ents. Blacksburg buyers are also trong competitors for the chickens nd eggs of that section. The price for hickens (friers) is 35 cents a pound; ut there is a story up there that some f the people have gotten even better rices in YorkvilleOn a trip to the western part of the ounty, on over to King's Creek in herokee, in company with Mr- Sam [. Grist last Wednesday afternoon, [ere and There noticed considerable vidences of the destruction wrought y last Sunday's storm. There are a umber of prostrate trees in sight of tie King's Mountain road, and the Dad is all but blocked at two places etween Piedmont springs and King's reek. The wind was unusually viosnt at King's Creek, and Mr. A. W. 1 ove told how he had been subjected ) more or ieoa appicuciMiuu v.. ount of the danger to which his mules ad been subjected. The mules were 1 a big pasture at the time, and after le storm it developed that a number f big trees had been uprooted. The larming manner in which the trees ad been thrown about suggested how susily the mules might have been kill- ' i had they followed their common inJnct in case of storm and taken refuge ' nder the larger trees. None of the mles were hurt, however, and Mr. ove was feeling as good as if he had egotiated an unusually good trade. Corporal Lewis M. Grist is still in le custody of the army medical deartment at the Walter Reed hospital, 1 Washington. At first he got a hint that 1 e was suspected of having bronchitis, his, however, he cannot understand, ! ecause he says he has never felt bet;r in his life. His health record in ' 'ranee gives the history of a month's 1 lness with influenza, and he thinks lat the bronchitis suspicion was based ! n the theory that a man who has been own with influenza must still have ' jmething. One of the hospital at- J mdants gave him a tip that tonsilitis ' ad not bronchitis was his malady. He ! oes not accept that, however, because e has no tonsils, Dr. Twitty having at them out at Fennell's infirmary 1 bout two years ago. The doctors have ' ot told him anything and they wont ill him anything. He does not believe e is sick, he knows he is not sick, and ; e would not Deneve me UUUlui a vii * ith, If they claim he Is sick. That is, j e does not think he has anything but 1 ostalgia, and of that he is sure he 1 as a very bad case so bad in fact ! iat he is afraid that It might causo 1 lm to be sent to Leavenworth before ! e can get home- He is allowed the ' an of the city down to Mt. Vernon, 1 nd wherever else he wants to go ex- 1 ept home, and in his latest letters 1 e declares that if they do not turn ' im loose pretty quick he is coming j ome even if they do send him to even worth. The home folks, who ' re as anxious to see him as he is to ' ;e them, are writing him to stick it ut if it takes all summer, and be quiet ntil he is discharged. ] BARITE MILL. 1 On the north side of the Southern J lilroad at King's Crock, there is a big j ame structure that houses a mill, the * i.. fhr, , ke of wnicn mere uiv ic? ... , nited States, and about which there : i more or less mystery. It is a barite mill. There is more or less mystery about ' lis plant. The building was erected jme fifteen or twenty years age. and , le machinery was installed at the ] me. For some reason, however, the ] till was not operated continuously, j ftcr a short season of operation it as closed down and It has been closed 1 own most of the time since. But since America went into the j orld war the mill has been in oper- t tion full capacity and from all ap- i pearances is going to continue in full capacity for some time to come. That, however, is purely a matter of speculation. A representative of The Enquirer who visited King's Creek Wednesday afternoon, went through the mill. He had been informed by people at the station that there would be no objection, and he walked in and through the mill, accompanied by a resident of the village. Quite an extensive affair is this barite mill. The machinery of the interior is so located on the hillside that the heavy chunks of ore that are taken in at the bottom may come out in the form of a fine powder at the top. Barite is a mineral that very much resembles marble, but which is easily distinguishable from marble by reason of its greater specific gravity. Bulk for bulk it is about as heavy as iron. It is mined rather than quarried- It runs in veins like various mineral ores, and in getting it out the miners have to follow the veins. Tha barite goes through a number of processes in passing through the mill, * * ? U/vnfA?fAn Hnincr thp ail me procesaeo uuncici -- . same general character. The substance comes from the mine or quarry in chunks, some of them weighing fifteen or twenty pounds. These chunks are fed into great crushers similar to those used in reducing paving stones. From the crushers the small pieces go into a great general hopper, from which they are fed into a mill that reduces them to small particles, and these particles are conveyed into what looks like ordinary bur mills that grinds it as fine as flour. It is put through a bleaching process that leaves it almost white, and after that it is put up in bags ready for shipment There is nothing to be learned as to what barite is used for. It is known that the mill and quarry at King's Creek ship about five carloads of material a week four carloads of crude barlto as it comes from the mine or quarry, and about one carload in powdered form. Most of it goes to Boston; but some of it goes abroad. Some of the known uses of barite is in the manufacture of paint as a filler in certain kinds of cloth, and formerly as- an adulterant of flour; but what is being done with the product of this mill nobody knows. It requires a large quantity of fuel to keep the boilers of the bl# barite mill going. Wood was used until experience showed that coal was cheaper; but now it is understood that arrangements have been perfected for the Installation of electric motors to bo driven by current to be taken from the nearby power lines. In tne mm ana quarries auuui menty-flve handJ are employed. From what people of King's Creek village say there is no trouble about getting all the labor that is wanted. Laborers are required to conform to certain reasonable rules as to hours of labor and manner of working, and those who do not choose to conform are quickly turned loose. Others are always ready to take their places. WITHIN THE TOWN The Cannon mill is now on a time schedule of 55 hours a week 10 hours a day through the week and 5 hours on Saturady. The wage schedule remains the same as formerly, same pay for 55 hours that has heretofore ruled for 60 hours slightly more in the aggregate than during the high water mark of the war period. The paving work is new under way, work having been commenoed on King's Mountain street at the southern entrance to the grounds of the Church Home orphanage. The contractors are paying J2.50 a day for common labor. The understanding is that experienced labor that will have to be imported, 'u n anmpwhut hieher rate. The parking of automobiles along the streets has become a serious problem, and it is proposed to discuss the matter in a common sense way here without arriving at any conclusion. There is no quarrel with the folks in the automobiles. On the contrary they are most welcome and desirable visitors. They are welcome socially commercially and otherwise. But the automobile parked in front of a place of business blocks traffic and inconveniences the proprietor of the business. It puts him in an awkward position. He doer not want the owner of the automobile to move and he does not want him to stay. The automobile owner does not want to inconvenience anybody; but he is at a loss to know what to do with his car. He would glndlv get the car out of everybody's way if he could, but he does not know how to do it. There is need for solution of the problem involved, and the individual who works out a solution will be entitled to the everlasting gratitude of everybody. In the meantime it is well for all to keep their tempers under it all. The trustees were to have met with the superintendent of education on lust Tuesday afternoon to formulate plans to improve the school house facilities of Yorkville district No. 11. Two or three of the trustees were present; but there was no formal meeting, and no definite action was agreed upon. There is pretty well defined opinion among the people of the town that the matter is up to the trustees, and that the peo pie, as far as they are able, will ao whatever the trustees think should be done. It Is for the trustees to decide whether the school district is to be enlarged, whether the present building can be remodeled to meet requirments, or whether a new building; is necessary, and if so where it Is to be located. It is only right and proper that the people should have this information before they are asked to move- As to how much division might arise on a location question, provided there is a location question, is only a matter of conjecture; but It is safe to say that there will be less friction with the location question settled in advance than otherwise. At a meeting of twenty-five or thirty of the leading business men of the town in the courthouse last Monday night, Mr. W. B. Moore proposed that if the town and community would provide $250,000, he would provide $250,000 more for the building of a $500,000 spinning mill of 10,000 spindles. He did not want to be understood as proposing to furnish the money himself; but he had been assured that it would be forthcoming. He stated also that having learned on a. recent visit to Atlantic City that the price of machinery was to be advanced 20 per cent, he had secured an option at the old price on machinery for a 10,000 spindle mill, which would be good until June 26, and up to which date if closed in the meantime, is worth $40,000. Mr. Moore discussed the mill business in some detail, pointing out its ups and down, but arguing that upon the whole it is about as good is anything else, especially for the south, in providing a pay roll. He SMgStested that the proposed mill be capitalized with common and preferred) stock on a basis of 50-50, each subscriber taking a share of preferred for ?ach share of common. The idea was that as normal times return the pre* * n tVin [erred stocK may oe ronrcu anu buv capitalization reduced to a pre-war b;isis. Remarks were made by Messrs. John R. Hart, B. N. Moore, O. E. Wilkins, and J. H. B. Jenkins, Jr., after tvhich by a unanimous rising vote the ! meeting expressed itself in favor of 1 iccepting Mr. Moore's proposition. John R. Hart, Esq., was authorized ind requested to organize a commit- 1 tee, with himself as chairman, to solicit subscriptions to the capital stock af the mill. LOCAL LACONICS Bowling Green School Tax. By a vote of 11 to 5 the voters of Howling' Green school district yesterlay decided to increase the special levy for schools to eight mills on the dollar. Kicked hy a Ford. Superintendent of Education Carroll . has his right arm in a sling as the result of a kick from a Ford in Rock : Kill on Wednesdty. So far as could be ' iscertalncd, no bones are broken. Teachers at Bethany. The trustees of Bethany school have ' elected the following teachers for the lext year: Rodnev Love, principal; W. [jee Gettys and Miss Mary Summerford, assistants. Philadelphia Storm. The sufferers from the hailstorm iround Philadelphia station, four miles south of Yorkville, last Monday afterieon, were James L- Clinton, R. A. Sandlfer, J. N. Benfleld and J. P. Carson. Gaston la's New Police Chief. Joe Orr, formerly of the Charlotte police department, and later chief of police at Lancaster, S. C., has been elected chief of the Gastonia police department and will take up his new duties in Gastonia on June 15. Mr. Orr is said to be a policeman of considerable experience. A. B. Hoard, present chief, will remain on the force. Bethel Hail Storm. The stcrm in Bethel last Sunday included a combination of rain, hail and wind. In places the wind did more damage than the hail. In other places the hail did the.greatest damage. In a number of cases the lands were washed to pieces by the rain. In some instances the damage resulted from a combination of rain, wind and hail. Many of the crops, Including those of T T-T onH T Q Pi/^HIn Viat/A Knon rn planted. R- S. Riddle replanted a part of his crop. The devastation was not nearly as extensive as resulted from , the storms of 1912; but in spots it was , fully as severe. Catawba Supervisor. There is a strong petition out in Ca- ' tawba township for the appointment of J. H. Boyd, of Lesslie, as Catawba , township supervisor, to succeed the ' late Burton Massey. Mr. Boyd was an overseer under Mr. Massey for two i years previous to the war. He served a year In France, a good part of the time making German prisoners repair the French roads that had been torn , up by German shells, and since his re- ' turn he has been engaged on his old ] Job. So far as The Enquirer had been advised up to Tuesday there were no other petitions. j To Build at Hickory Grove. The people of Hickory Grove and viclnity are very much Interested in a proposition recently made to them, by Mr. W. B. Moore of Yorkville, with ' reference to the building of a cotton mill at Hickory Grove. Mr. Moore ' stated to Hickory Grove people that he could secure the sum of $125,000 ' for investment in a $250,000 cotton < mill, and If they would raise a similar sum of $125,000, he would seriously consider the building of a mill at that place. A leading citizen of Hickory ' Grove stated to The Enquirer Wednes- J day that the specified sum had been almost subscribed. He thought that . the Hickory .Grove people would qualify themselves to meet their side of the tentative proposition. Another Bank at Clover. There is to be another bank at Clo- ] ver. It is to be known as the First National Bank and Trust company. It Is to have two charters, one state and the other Federal. The bank is to be cap lt&lized at $25,000 and the Trust com- ' pany at $10,000- Mr. G. F. Hambright of King's Mountain, and his brother, Beatty Hambrlght, are the prime movers. They have the backing of many . Clover people. The enterprise has been J under consideration for some time; but it began to take definite shape only * last Monday, when Clover people quickly subscribed $17,000, all that was asked for and a little more. The tun- f derstanding Is that the new bank will be organized and ready for business by ( the first of next September. ( AT THE CHURCHES CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEP- i HERD. J Rev. T. T.
