Clover, September 18?Young people , of Clover and vicinity began leaving ( | for the various schools and colleges , this week. Names of those who will , attend colleges of the state and vl- j clnlty have already been enumerated In this correspondence. Already Clover has bogun to miss their cheery | persons and an air of social gaiety for r which they are responsible will be , lacking for the next nine months. The j number of boys and girls of the town ( and community attending school and j college away from home this fall is t the largest in the history of the town. a People are Pleased. t 1 * That clover will have a concrete j road leading through the Main street t of the town is now almost a certainty. t People of Clover and the surrounding c Community learned with pride and ^ pleasure that the state highway commission had approved the town's ap| plication for 110,000 Federal aid, has- r ed on the willingness of the property g nAAr>lA r\F lha f A1U n Ia ownurs ttiiu me |iw|iic ui w.. jpay the other half of the 120,000 rc- r quired to build the rood through the c town. A meeting of the town council ^ will bo held in the near future at ^ which time all arrangements will be s made for raising the town's half of the ?, fund. Speaking bf the matter a few jdays ago, a prominent Clover man ^ said: "I don't think any reasonable q ^ citizen could help but realize that we j have the chance of a lifetime to get (j a good road through the town for half c price. If we don't take advantage of j( this federal aid, we are simply los- i ing a chance to get a good road a cheaper than we will ever have again. It is only going to be a matter of a few years until we have concrete ro.:ds g all over York county and by taking on s to this prpposition npw we arc saving u ourselves money that wc will have to c pay out in the future if we don't taka c advantage of the opportunity." Cotton Ginnings Short. Up to yesterday considerably less i c than 100 bales of cotton had been a ginned at Clover whereas up to this <3 titne last year more than 100 bales *'lr" ' ha'd beort ginned. Iloth the Clover o ^ glnnerieii have been ready for business j rftor sometime; but sufficient cotton to c keep them busy hasn't been coming in. ( According to Mr. W. P. Smith, local cotton buyer much of the cotton that ( has becd gihncd hero has been put on \ the market as soon as ginned and OIo- t ver merchants say that a slight increase in business that is to be noticed a is. proof of the fact that some cotton is being sold. p Schools to Continue Work. h Adult night schools which were or- c gnnized at the Clover and Hawthorne t< Mills this summer by Mr. James Sif- li ford will not be discontinued although C Mr. Slfford has found it necessary to discontlnuo the work in order that he \ might return to the University of i r South Carolina to continue his studios I I there. Misses Bessie Adams and ( Bessie JackBon, well known young! ladies of Clover, both of whom have; I had long experience as teachers will t' continue tho classes which will be lie) 1' three nights each week?probably | Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The I total enrollment at both schools was p twenty-four and of these fifteen were i taught to read and write, the other j pupils having already had slight in-' ], structlon in elementary education. The i t] I* oldest pupil taught at the adult schools I a in Clover this summer was 36 years a of age. Seven male pupils over 211 v years of age attended the school and i , three females over 21. The state ds-'v partment of education olTcrcd a valu. iv able prize to the college student of the! * state who taught the largest number of i; illiterate adults during one month Of t the summer and whose pupils showed { the greatest progress. The winner of j the prize has not been announced. Mr. Sifford voluntarily conducted the adult j: schools here two months instead, of one month. jj Baseball Season Ended. ? End of the baseball season so far as c Clover is concerned came last Saturday when a Clover team hooked up c with a Bessemer City, N. C., aggrcga- a tion in the latter town. The game ended in a row in the eighth inning e with the score 4 to 3 in favor of Clo- c ver, the locals taking offense at the j alleged action of the Bessemer boys i putting in a "ringer" player against j them. t May Build New Church. i Baptists of Clover arc ' considering ( the matter of building a new church t edifice here.

The increase is explained by reason )f the q 1 fact that most of the huntera of the j{ ! county arc young fellows between the ^ ages of 21 and 31. and that most of n these young fellows this time last year ; and even later on were* hunting linns (1 in France or else getting ready to p hunt them, thereby giving the r partridges a chance to multiply. f.

For several days prior to the formal opening some 500 young ladies from all sections of the state li were at Winthrop taking the required F entrance examinations. Work on the g s new dormitory which has been under n course of construction for several r ' months past is progressing nicely and L "i" wine nf the new building was a M ready for the accommodation of stu- fi dents when the school opened.

It developed nowevcr, when they got into the neighborhood where the plant was mpposSd to be that the lad was not ;o sure after all and all that the oflcers could find was a place where a nolasses mill had been in operation lomo time before. It was a crowd of 'ootsorc and sleepy-eyed officers who rot back to Yorkville about 4 o'clock 3unday morning. Old Land Marks Removed. They are gone?those four granite josts that stood at the cross streets 'or so long that few there be who remember when they were put up and for vhat. Mr. J. Q. tVray took them down ast week to make way for the curb- , ng of the new street work?to get ( hem out of the way. Those stones /ere put on the corner about forty 'ears ago, during the administration f the late Frank Happerfield as mayor or the purpose of keeping the wagon wheels of the street traffic off the orncrs of the earthen sidewalks of hose days. In the course of time they >cgan to be looked updn as ancient nd there grew up an idea among ome people that they were mileposts -milcposts "0," marking the beginning f movements from the courthouse, 'ho tops of them were smooth, yes ven slick. This circumstance also ad significance. It was evidence that most excellent quality of granite? hey came from the Major T. P. Whiteides quarry?would take a polish from loth. The cloth was of the kind used Dr the making Of seats of pantaloons, lundrcds, yes thousands o&mcn have ssistcd ty the work of polishing the ops of these posts, and the job was roll done. Had thi3 work been more ractically diverted, it would haw een sufficient for the gradiiy of- a ailroad from Charlotte to Yorkville. tut the old posts are to be seen on the omer no more from now on.

PRICE FIXING PLANS , I v louse Judiciary Committee Monkeying With Trade Machinory. Permanent legislation for a marc rict regulation of business, particuirly to prevent, extortionate profits nd trade practices generally considred unfair but not illegal under laws, 111 be framed by tho house Judiciary ammittcc, Representative Volstead Minn.), chairrpan announces, accordlg to a Washij^on correspondent. The demand for this regulation omcs froni the fact that prices of so lany commodities have increased ncc the signing of the armistice, hich was the practical ehd of the war me excuse for boosting the cost to ic consumer, Mr. Volstead says. Believing that many "little fellows" are ^sponsible for the present high prices, ir. Volstead said tho committee would ot devote all its attention to big busless as some law makers have in the a ast, but will strive to frame laws that c ill benefit the consumer and at the f imo time allow all Dusmess a iair t iarfrin of profit. a Hearings on the proposed legislation re under way and already the folnving proposals have been placed bo- ( sre the committee by various rcpresntatives and members of the federal ado commission. I A perihanejit government licensing ? ystcm, such as was used by the food , dministration and other government j gencies during the war, with the pro- ( ision that any business can be stopped y the government revoking a license ( 3r violation of regulations.

National blue sky laws to prevent he fraudulent sale of securities. Requirements that investment conerns must advertise the profits they lark on the sale of securities with lie view of showing the public their ctuaK value. Stricter regulation of all speculation. Although some sort of a permanent Iccnsing system was recommended by resident Wilson in his address to conress on the high cost of living sentiicnt in the committee apparently is athcr strong against such a proposal, -ikewise there is considerable doubt if n effective system of government price xing can be worked out, although the oinmittcc is watching the results of iltorncy-Gcncral Palmer's volunteer air price committee. "The committee," Mr. Volstead said, is in favor of strengthening the laws o that prices cannot be enhanced as I hey have been during the last few ionths, apparently without a reasonble cause. Just how this is to be done hope the hearings will show. "The committee plans to consult not , nly government officials but as many epresentatlves of business as possible j o find the best constructive legislation tossible, but I am inclined to believe tricter regulation must come." * 1 i Two more American aviators, Licutnants L.

OPPOSED TO PRICE FIXING IDEA Senior Senator from South Carolina is of Opinion that High Living is More in Evidence than is High Cost ?Wage Earners Buy Shirts at $12 Each. Senator Dial of South Carolina had ' a say a few days ago in opposition to I he proposition to esiaonsn price iixin? commissions throughout the country. His remarks as published in the Congressional Record of Scptembor 10 are xs follows: Mr. Dial.- tyr. president, during war :imes it made no difference whether >r not a:< q.ct was constitutional or legal, whatever the government wanted the people were willing to let it have. Now the war is practically over?not legally over, but to all intents and purposes it is ended?and it occurs to me t "is time to stop extending war neasures. I know of no ground upon ivhich this proposed law can be based ixcopt as a war measure, and we hope , fhat the present condition even of legal ( var will not continuo longer than a , 'ew days or a very short time at most. Mr. President, I am opposed to : loarding: I am opposed to profiteer- , ng; I am opposed to robbery in any , ihapc; but this bill goes further than , :he war measure, for it includes arti- | :les that were not included in the orignal food-control act. To that extent, , certainly think this bill ought not to , fc passed. The country has become ( uncustomed to tho former law, but now j ierc it is proposed to includo wearing | ipparcl. The enactment of tho bill , vill disorganize business; legitimate j iffairs of the people would bo tampered j vith and all thrown out of gear for , lomo considerable time. Under this bill the people would be lable to bo haled in court, prosecuted, md tried upon an indefinite charge and 4 indcr indefinite definitions of what irbfltecrlng i3. I do not know what it s. What would mean profiteering to j >ne person would- not nppeaq to be < >rofltocrlng in anothefc person. So "I ] im utterly opposed to\ disturbing the 1 )uclncss conditions of this country and 1 flowing our people to be harrosscd 1 vith this unnecessary law, as I tnke it 1 o be. Ceptalnly it ought not to be ex- f ended under any circumstances to in- < 'ludo articles not enumerated in the cf- j sting law. It would result In having j ncn haled before a court, their repu-"1 atlons besmirched for some act. that ] ivcn the courts would not know tho < Ictfnllion of, and would never be told intil after the jury passed upon it. I epeat, what would be profiteering to ] >ne man would not bo profiteering, periaps, to another. < , ; 1 To have a fair-price commission go 1 iround*over the country?a commission 1 :ompcsed of inexperienced men?wouiu rrcatly disturb business, and I hope hat will not be done. I have offered ] in amendment to strike out" the words 'wearing apparel," on page 2, line 4, j Mr. Harrison. Mr. president, will ; ho senate yield? \. i Mr. Dial. Yes. Mr. Harrison. The senator realizes, i presume, that if wearing apparel i ihould be stricken from this bill wo < vould not be able to get at the pro- i iteers who are making big profits ] >r. shoes. Mr. Dial. The trouble, Mr. prcsilent, ami the chief causo of the high ;03t of living is that people have quit he farms and have gone to town, rhcy want to get into houses, instead >f working outdoors. I left here the , )thfir night on a train. A gentleman lappened to be sitting by me In the smoker, who, as it turned out, was a ; "ormer client of mine. He was a manu'acturer of shoes; he %wned a shoe I 'actory; and he told me the other day i tiis wife bought a pair of shoes which o rwl that woo thn hlfrhf?qt ! /UO I lICi v ttUU VIIMV ?? M?j V??w price she had ever paid for a pair of ihocs. In a day or two his stenographer came in wearing a new pair of ihoes and he asked her what her shoes ,'ost, and she said they cost her $1G. Fie told her she was not able to pay hat much for shoes, but she answered hat she made the money and she was joing to buy such shoes as she desired .0 buy. That is one reason why the :ost of living is high; it is high living, ^cople arc spending money unnccesiarily. The other day I heard a colored man stepping into a store in my adjoining :ounty and asking to see some ^hirts. rhey showed him a $2 shirt and he laid that was not fine enough. Then hey showed him a $G shirt and he aid that was not good enough. He vas next shown a 510 shirt, and he said he would take three of those: and ic pulled out three 510 bills and paid "or them. That is one reason for the 1 ligli cost of-living. ] I heard a man say the other day he 1 itnnnnH into n cftorn whPPB thpV had I 1 i pile of shirts as high as his head. I V youth entered the store and asked 1 .he merchant the price of the shirts. The merchant told him they were $6, 1 tnd if he wanted any of those shirts I le had better pick his out pretty soon < 0 get the pattern he wanted. My in- < ormant inquired who bought such 1 shirts, and was told the boys in the i nilhs. i I dined with a friend the other day, < 1 very rich man, whose salary. I think, 1 s $25,000 a year, who said that he 1 stopped into a store the other day i t % . with the idea of purchasing a silk shirt. ' He said that he had never owned one before. He asked the clerk the price of the shirt, and was told $12. He said, "I would consider it a ' reflection on my intelligence to pay $12 for a shirt." He asked the clerk "who buys that -kind of shirts?" and was told the barbers and the hack | driver? and the boys who want to blow in. That is the trouble with the country; tno pcopic nave quu wor* i and arc going to the towns, and yet we expect prices to go down. What we need is to have ?ur people get some tools and go back on the farm and produce something to eat. 1 I am not going to take up much time i in the discussion now, but we all e know of the inflated condition of the < currency; we know of the war de- s struction and everything of that sort. 1 and we know that prices are bound to t be high for a considerable time. I am s not a merchant, and the privisions of t the bill will not interfere with me at c all except in a general way, but I r think that the way to br Bay not longer than four rponth3 in h the year. I think then there would not c he so much unrest in this country. e I hope this proposed law will not be a extended any further than to 'articles a originally crrjbraced.ln tlje food-control b act. Let us get back .to normal and d not enact so much legislation in Wash- P Ington. We have set a good many bad examples here. ..The way to do is to d let the people go back/to the country, d pay their debts, pay for the expenses of the war, and forget about it a 8 BRITAIN IS GRATEFUL ?
