Proud Acclaim of Mighty Nat'on in Honor of the Leader of the Greatest Army the World Ever Saw?Son Warren it the General's Orderly. 1 ni'for t wr% vrn ra In uoucroi x cioiuue, u??v* ... command of the greatest army America has ever sent to battle returned to the United States last Monday. As he stepped ashore in New York from the huge liner Leviathan he was handed a commission as general, a rank previously held by only three Americans ?Grant, Sheridan and Sherman. The stern-faced soldier was not f proof against tribute of praise which was roared from hundreds of thousands of the throats of his fellow citizens. His voice trembled with emotion as he responded to the g-cetings extended by Secretary of War Baker in his own behalf and that of the president as well as the welcoming address of f ' representatives of the senate and I house, the state and cityt , Waves Cap, Like a Boy. As hi? car passed slowly, through < the cheering multitude which jammed 1 Broadway from the battery to the city | hall, Pershing attempted in vain to maintain his composure. At first he , replied to the. cheers with the stiff ] salute which military etiquctto de- ] mands, but he was soon carried away ] by the storms of applause which swept , in great gusts about him. Rising to ] i his feet he waved his cap about his head with a boyish gesture which told how deeply he was stirred while the grim lines of his bronzed face broke , into a smile^ Surrounded by comrades, humbler in' station, but who had offered their all just as freely in the course of liberty, General Pershing first reglimpscd his native land. When the huge Leviathan nosed her way through the mists of the Jersey coast 'ho general stood upon her deck with the famous "Composite regiment,' 3,000 picked American soldiers, known as "Persh- ; own." I ] Him Commission. j< '/^?t after the gtaeial walked ,down j * i mm **-* - - the Vangp'nnk a^-Waijoken Secretary t of War Baker handed him his com- < ? mission as full general. s Standing behind, and completely i . hidden by the imposing figure of the i ^ general, was a little boy trying to look i very dignified and soldierly. He was t "Sergeant" Whrren Pershing, the com- i mander in chief's only surviving child. When the general received his com mission he turned to his son and hand- i ed him the document with an injunc- i tion to keep it safe. The "sergeant" t kept it safe all right, but later on, in the great crowd at the city hall he got ; separated from his father, much to the < dismay of the general. When the boy 1 was recovered his father asked anx- < iously: 1 "Warren, have you got the commis- 1 i Blon?" 1 * ""?es, Sir," repiied \Yic "serge^tA," promptly. "Well, see that you hold on to it." Among a little army of welfare workers who greeted General Pershing were 50 girls, three of whom were decorated for bravery under fire while serving with the First division. Thousands Wait Hours. But it was reserved to New York to * begin the real ovation to the returning hero. For hours before the arrival g*" "the battery" was thronged with patient thousands. As the little boat with iU distinguished party steamed up to the pier an uproar began such as Manhatten probably never heard. > From a thousand factories and vesA sels' sirens shrieked out raucous wel~ come but vainly tried to drown the j roar of cheers which rose and fell and rose again. ^ At first l General Ptrshing seemed to be suffering more from embarrassment than any other emotion. He walked swiftly fiom the landing stage to his gaily decorated automobile and settled himself down in his seat like a man who has an important,journey to make and wants to get it over with as quickly as possible. But as the long procession of cars started up Broad4 v way he was engulfed in a llood of humanity. The great canyon which forms New York's' financial district, today the fl-' nanclal heart of the world, was a bed- ; I lam of noise and a riot of color. All windows in the huge skyscrqpers were j packed and; even the cloud-piercing roofs had their quotas. From these a storm of many-colored confetti descended on the surging crowds. It Kissed by Woman. The enthusiasm of the spectators Hound vent in one rehearsed incident ^ which was received by General Pershing with apparently mingled feelings. As he entered the city hall flanked by Governor Smith and Mayor Hylan a woman burst past the police guards and implanted a sound kiss on his cheek. Another woman, -stirred to emulation, attempted to repeat the teat but the general raised his hand in sup| plication: "Oh, Madam," he said, "please don't. Not that." The ceremony at the city hall where (General Pershing was officially welcomed to New York was brief. After i the mayor had dCllverbd his address 1 * \ of welcome and the general had made a short reply the party emerged again and the procession was resumed. .A3 the procession advanced up town steam sirens grew few but at a steel foundry two husky former "doughboys," whose somewhat grimy khaki trousers explained how they had beat en Iheir swords into pruning hooks, proved that the American soldier has nol an unjust reputation for ingenuity. They had erected an enormous piece of sheet iron on the pavement and with two hammers made a racket which seemed to please them, whatever were the feelings of their neighbors. A little further on a large junk shop provided an ancient church bell which three girls banged lustily with hammers. Pershing Dines With Sisters. On arrival at his hotel the general retired immediately to the suite which had been reserved for him. There he lunched privately with his son and sisters. Miss May Pershing, of Lincoln Nebraska, and Mrs. D. Mi Butler. After luncheon he received a number of visitors including Senator Warren, of Wyoming, his father-in-law and Wllliam Jennings Bryan, who is a fellow guest in the hotel. So many invitations have been extended to General Pershing that he decided today to prolong his stay here until Thursday, leaving for Washing^ ton that night. At a conference today final plans were made for t>e parade Wednesday. The commander agreed to ride at the head of the line all the way down from 110th street to Washingotn squa.s instead of dropping out to review the procession which will be five and a half miles long, Including all the artillery and other equipment of the First iivision. It will take two hours and a !ialf to pass the review stand. The machinery of the war and agricultural departments wehe set in mo:ioh today to obtain the release of Kid-on, General 'Pershing's sorrel horse, leld in quarantine at Newport News, n order that he may be ridden by the commander in the parade. General Pershing has been mounted on Kidron n all of the parades in which he has Appeared in Europe. In order to obtain the release of Kidrcn it will be necessary to obtain in order from Secretary of Agriculture Houston. In the event that the horse loes not arrive in time for the parade, Pershing will be mounted on Captain, iwned by the New York police department. The general hart-just Tin i'siiufl "flilich;cn after a little rest to refresh himself after the arduous hours of the norning and he said that while he ;vas glad to meet all the newspaper Tien, he could answer only such quesiens as properly came within the -ange of his profession. Calls Sedan Move Greatest The question was asked: "General vhat do vou consider the crowning ichievement of your service abroad?" .o which he replied: "Cutting: the Hindenburg line was i start toward cutting the line at Scion. It was hard to tell what might have become of it under different circumstances It followed the final ef-i fort of the Germans to force their way through but their armies were beaten before they started." "Gevktrvd, wiU you oay a. tew words about Marshal Koch ?" "Marshal Foch," ho replied appreciatively, "is a very great strategist." A question was asked as to his impression upon his departure for France 27 months ago and his return to which he replied: "When we left the day was foggy. We could not see the Statue of Liberty. There were no bells ringing, no whistles (except fog horns) blowing, and no ships gayly dressed. Why, there was as much difference between uui uui?ai uuf UJIU iiuiiic-cuuniih no MW twocn midnight and noonday. "I anticipated while on the other side some kind of a welcome upon our return home, but nothing I thought then could equal my impressions today. I And difficulty in expressing my sentiments, but I suppose it's the way New York always dees things." Gives View of Europe. Before the general stipulated the kind of questions he would answer some c?io asked: "What do you think about the crisis in Europe," to which lie responded: "I don't think we had better get into European affairs at all-" As to affairs in Mexico, General Pershing declined to talk, saying he was too busy overseas to read about it. South Must Extend Credits to Europe.?Urging that the south organize ft-rwlitu IUI UIV j;ui puac V l IUillioiliiib v? vu??w to Europe to create a market for 7,000,000 bales of expert cotton to be available from this year's crop, Senator Bankhead, Democrat, Alabama, has issued a statement saying: the federal government could not finance the movement of the crop. With foreign loans approaching $10,000,000,000, he said, the government would have to leave the problem to private enterprise in the south. The European countries are not "physically bankrupt," the senator said, adding- that it was clear to him that if distressing conditions were to be? avoided, 'it is necessary for the south to organize a strong:, well directed movement to supply European nations with ctedits in terms of dollars so that they can pay without excessive premiums due to high exchange rates for cotton 'shipped to them. Action, he said, I must be taken promptly. THE NEWS OF CLOVER High School Will Begin Sessio Next Monday.

September 11.?According t announcement of Superintendent VJ R. Koon, the Clover High school wil open for the current session on nex Monday, It was expected that th< formal opening would take place las Monday; but it was postponed, due t< the fact that all arrangements for th< opening had not been completed.

Made Good Money in the Army. Charles M- Dickson returned to hli home in Clover several weeks ago aftei serving with the American expeditionary forces overseas, has re-opened his barbershop?the OK, in Clover, and it back on the old job again. Mr. Dickson worked as a company barber ir the army, and according to his own statement, barbering was much more profitable work in the army than it is in Clover, YorkviUe or any other old burg that he knows anything about The army authorities in France wert not only kind enough to allow him tc keep all the money he* took in from work; but they furnished him with towels and soap. All that he had to dc was to furnish his tools and a willingness to "put out." The pickings were good, he says, and some months he made as much as $200 amputating the beards and the hair of doughboys. He saved more than $1,000 while he was hi the service, and he says that if he could have ever got rid of that "home" feeling or if home had been right at him. he would be perfectly content to work as an army barber the balance of his natural days. Government Groceries Received. Postmaster James A. Barrett said on m -J- ? oV>{ nmnn f a r\ f irrn i uesuav mat inu i>iii|?uvu? ?- c. ceries ordered by people of Clover and vicinity from the government, while the grocery sale was in progress, have been received in Clover.

Fraternal Activities. Considerable activity is manifest in Clover fraternal sections at the present time, especially among the Masons ant the Junior Order. A large number ol applicants have recently been receivec in both lodges and the fraternities art busy at their regular meetings in th< work of administering degrees. Clo. vcr has a reputation of being one ol the best fraterna^ order towns in th< state, and people generally always fee rtiorc or less interest in fraternal mat ters. Survey Meeting Called Off.

Vory Little Cotton Ginned. Up to the present time very littl cotton has been ginned in Clover am indications are that there will be ver; ; little for the next week or so. Gin ' nings up to date have hardly totaled i I dozen bales and the Clover ginnerie are in the position of being all set witl nothing to do. Farmers and busines people are wearing a kind of worriei look cn account of the unhealthy con ditlon of the crop in these parts. y Baseball Still Popular. Summer's wane to the contrary no withstanding, there is still much inte est among Clover people in baseba I' and the teams of the Hawthorn ai Clover mills are, staging a game or tv or three every week. The Clover m team defeated /an aggregation fro ^ Belmont here Saturday afternoon by score of 20 to 5. The game was a con plete fiasco but the fans enjoyed it : ? the same. Very probably several gam n will be played this week and there no indication as to when the basebt season Is going to be declared off. * . Building Progress Slow. Progress on the construction of tl 0 new bank building on King's Mounta street continues to be rather slow, b 1 cause of inability to secure materia t and the same is trte of the afcnex B the Hawthorn mill, now In course < t construction.

Less Interest. m * . a PICKED UP BY ENQUIRES REPORTERS ui es Stories Concerning Polk. and Things Some of Which You Know and Some You Don't Know?Condensed for Quick Reading. io There are more than a dozen York In county boys and girls attending Boll* e- Ing Springs High School near Shefby, Is N. C., this year, the largest number to perhaps ever attending the school of from this county. The school which is ig a co-educational institution is under 1- the direction of Prof. J. D. Higgins, jr who was for a number of years principal of the Bethiny High school when that institute was a boarding school, le Several of the York county students ut spent last Sunday and Monday at >r their respective homes. Of interest to people throughout the re county generally is the announcement that the current term of Winthrop iy College opens on September 17. In36 formation is that there will be cn ( lg unusually large number of York ^ county\young ladies in attendance up:o on Winthrop this year. Several York Ir county families for years resident of other sections of the country have 1 moved to Rock Hill and vicinity withw In the past few weeks in order that 1 ,e their daughters might attend Winthrop : n and at the same time livo at home. There are twenty-three inmates of ] ie' the county home at the present time, ,e according to Superintendent I. P. Boyd j ' who was asked about the matter Wed- , 18 re ncsday. Of these twelve are white and ( eleven are colored. Everything is run- ( nlng along smoothly, according to Mr. j d Boyd. Several of the children at the , ,e home , will enter the schools of the ^ e county this fall. Crops on the county | home farm are looking pretty good , and a big production is expected. , ' Among the truck crops being grown this year is about two acres of sweet .S potatoes, the largest acreage ever devoted to that crop at the home. <j Chief of Police Steel of Yorkviile, j. proposes to take a hand in curbing the gait of automobile speeders through e the streets of the town. The chief I. has been on his job here only one >f week but that has been plenty long enough for him to get a ljno oft con5. dltions generally pretty well arid his attention has been drawn corisiderahly to the speed fiends. "I don't uiant to do anybody?citizen of the town or uny' one else; but folks driving cars is around here will have to keep within the pace set by the ordinances covering the. subject and if they don't? . well, the mayor assures me that he g e will handle his end of it all right." , e ? ( lt There has been no time set fbr the j meeting of the York county commit- < d sioners with the Cherokee county uu- j n thorities at which time Jt is proposed 1 n to fix the connecting place for tfre York < 8 and Cherokee county roads, vfluper- 1 _ vlaor Bovd said Wednesday that there j g wa3 some misunderstanding' over ihe \ [m question with whom the York4 eotihty ^ lt board is to deal?whether It 'shall be < the Cherokee county board of commis- j ;r sloner3 or the CVktTO^%% County ' Ja way commission. Thero are some who Jr think that the matter is one which the le county highway commissioners Jiave in y charge; but the York county commisj_. sionefB are of the opinion that they should deal with the county commissioners of Cherokee county. Anyway there is some difference of opinion and i- the York county commissioners are goi. ing to know positively with what aun thorltics they must deal before they | >r do any dealing. i- Of considerable Interest to people rt generally throughout the Piedmont Jr section is the trial of Hugh T. Bram P lctt, a well known contractor or ureenvlllc who is now on trial for his life in that city charged with shooting and killing his mother-in-law, Mrs. L. C. !(* McHugh and wounding his sister-in- , " law, Miss Peoria McHugh. The trial , ,n was concluded this week. Mr. J. Lyle Love, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Love ^ of York No. 3, is one of the attorneys for the defense in the case, he having e been engaged in the practice of law 11 in Greenville for several years past. The killing occurred last June and . aroused considerable feeling through- J out Greenville county on account of the prominence of all the persons con- ( cerned, it being deemed best to carry ( ,0 BramJett to the state penitentiary for , c safe keeping after the tragedy. The l(j defense's plea is insanity. There 1b an | imposing array of legal counsel on )0 both sides and the outcome of the < ly case will be awaited with considerable [(j interest. j >. "While some of the moonshine 11- i IS quor that trickles down this way comes from Gaston county and abovo, < e. the Gaston county authorities, especi- s ie ally the Gastonia police, are doing ev- i id erything possible to check the traffic," .d observed Chief of Police John A. Jack- ( son of Clover the other day. "I had od- < ie casion to come through a suburb of < ;r Gastonia pretty early one morning rc,d cently. While in the suburbs of the i ic city the automobile in which I was i traveling was hailed by another auto- 1 mobile and ordered to stop. We stop- j is ped and seveial policemen and a depua ty sheriff stepped out of the other au- r m tomoblle and gave us the once over, j r- One of the policemen recognized me t almost immediately and of course we <! were allowed to proceed. 'Just didn't s know who you were," one of the officers explained. Every' automobile going-through Gastonla at* an unnatural hour is given a careful scrutiny. Gastopla has plenty of policemen and it is really a dangerous thing to try to smuggle booze by them." This story comes to Here and There from Sharon, and it is well vouched for: Master James, the little four or five year old son of Dr. J. H. Saye, came to the house not long ago with a live full grown squirrel In his hands. The little aqimo^ was apparently as happy and contented as a tame kitten. In response to questions it developed that while out in the pasture, a short distance from the house, he had come upon the squirrel playing about and it had made no objection to his picking it up. Elders who knew more about the nature pf squirrels, some of them from the experience of bitten fingers, advised -him to take the little animal back to the pasture and turn It loose. They watched him, and they say that Imra lately after its release. the squirrel pricked up a tree. The remarkable feature of the Incident of course, Is the docility of a live healthy wild squirrel under the circumstances. Squirrels may be tamed perhaps; but sooner or later the would- ' be tamer has occasion to regret the attempt. York county has the honor of being the second white ribbon county in i Sunday school work in thp state. At i the Sunday school convention held at \ Tirzah Tuesday the county greatly , oversubscribed its* final allotment of | |17B thereby going in the list of white ] ribbon counties. Lancaster county was , the' first in the state to raise its allot- | ment. On the state mpp which is dis- | played at every convention attended ] by the state Sunday school workers, , blue and white rlhbons indicate the , Ilnal standing of the counties of their { conventions. The blue indicates that half of tl>e county pledge was paid, while the white indicates that all is paid. The one white ribbon looked lonesome Tuesday morning and not jo lonely when the second representing York was affixed late in the ifcfterloon. Prof. R. D. Webb of Spartanburg, state secretary of Sunday school work leaves within a few days for New York state where he is to assist in a , drive for the raising of $1,000,000 'or Sunday school work in that state. The time for holding the York county convention was moved up in order ^ hat Mr. Webb' might be present, i ii ia?-oommstion with the proposed rection of a mondhient to mark the r lite of Hill's old iron works on Allison f ^reek. it would be interesting to get up j 1 collection of relics of the historic a plant for exhibition on the day of the % mveiling. Here and There has seen t it different times various, specimens o >f th& output of the old plant, and rhc Yorkville Enquirer has in its pos- t lession one particular specimen that is ] >f peculalr historic interest. The r specimen referred tq is what remains 2 it a one-pounder swfvel that has quite g i history, fully authenticated by the j ate Ilev. Dr. Lathan. This swivel was. c :ast at the iron works before or dur- j ng the Revolutionary war. Upon' the t ipproach of the British and Tories t inder Houck, . to destroy the iron l ivorks, William and Robert Hill, sons g it 011. William Hill loaded this old 2 swivel, mounted it on a stump on a ( nigh MU on the north, aide of Allison c Creek and stood ready to Are at sight i of the enemy. But the Tories slipped j in on the boys from behind and took J possession of their weapon, which < they threw into the cr?ck. Some years ; afterward a fisherman found the 1 swivel, while disentangling a hook i that had caught'in something; he did ] not know what, and took it out of the j water. For a longtime afterward the little cannon was used In firing Fourth j of July salutes, and finally it was i bursted by an overcharge. The part 1 that is now in the possession of "the : Enquirer, something like half its original length, weighs 25 or 30 1 pounds. i , I Do You Know That?The man who 1 makes good Is the man who keeps on 1 making good.
