l.Txirrlfl, chairman of tltc public works
commission crea'ted to sell the bonds
/ and..improve the streets with the pro'
feeds, said that the ?10,000 federal
aid which had been promised the
town to use in conjunction with the
? bond issue had been withdrawn and
that unless the department of agri'
culture could be induced to renew the
proffer of assistance it was more than
'likely that no effort would be made to
5?ell. the bonds. Mr. Harris said that
'the. ?30,000 it was hoped to secure
from the sale of the bonds would
prove inadequate to do the amount of

address of Rev. J. G. Fin lay, bishop co'
adjutor of the diocese of South Carolina,
the meeting and dinner of the men
? of the Church of Our Savior last evening
at the Chamber of Commerce was
a most inspiring occasion. The weather
conditions made the roads impassible
a ml there were few men present
from the York parish, or from other
nearby towns. However, there was a
good attendance from the city and the
occasion will long be remembered by
the Episcopalians in the city. The parish
guild, under the leadership of Mrs.
It. L. Sturgis. served a delightful dinner,
the menu including oyster cocktails,
turkey, gravy and dressing, cranberries.
rice, ham, creamed, sweet potatoes,
grapefruit salad, home-made
cake and apricot sherbet, coffee. John
G. Barnwell was master of ceremonies,

spoke on "The Orphanage." Prof. J.
Thompson Brown- then introduced the
'bishop, who delivered the principal address,
lasting only about fifteen min utes.
His subject was "Community
Building," and the speaker handled it
in a masterful way. The address was
instructive and inspirational and it is
believed will prove most beneficial to
those so fortunate as to have listened
to it.
Chester Reporter, Jan. 27: The bit'ing
of several Chester people a few
days ago by a dog, which upon examination
was found to be mad serves to
bring to mind the fact that Chester is
nothing like strict enough about control
of the dog evil. Some steps may !
have been taken for all we know about
locking up dogs that may have bepit
bitten by; the dog we refer to; but it <
not something' of the kind most cer|
tainly should be done. As long as the
i city has laws on the books forbidding
*
the~ running at large of dogs on the
streets these laws should be enforced,
as strictly and as religiously as any
other. The large store of A. N.
Kcistler & Co. at Great Falls was de-..
stroyed last nigh! by fire, the origin
of which we have not learned. The
Keistler store was a large frame
building, carrying a big general stock
of merchandise, which will run up into
money. .We have learned very little
about the fire, biit understand thjnt
the building and stock were totally
consumed?...The .community was
saddened this morning when it became
known that-Mrs. Belle H. Bar-,
her, wife of Hon. Wm. A. Barber
formerly of Chester, but now of New
York, had passed away at Asheville,
N. 'C., about eight o'clock yesterday
evening. Mrs. Barber was a daughter
of Mrs. Mattie Hardin and the late \V.
Holmes Hardin, and lived in Chester
until Mr. Barber had completed his
term as attorney General of South
Carolina, and decided to move to New
York for the practice of his profession.
She was a woman of most lovable
disposition, devoted to.her family and
her friends, and the news of her
death was received here with deep
sorrow' The following marriage
licenses-, have been issued during the
last few days from the office of Judge
of Probate A. W. Wise: Mr. T. H.

Lancaster News, Jan. 28: Snow and
sleet in Lancaster reached a depth of
about four inches yesterday morning.
It fell regularly for almost two nights
and a day, and the streets yesterday,
were more deserted than on Sunday.

some ventured forth The sheds comprising
the rear of l-lood Bros.' stables

FEW INQUIRIES ABOUT FETILIZER
?
Rabbit Hunters Took Advantage of
Big Snow?Large Quantities of Cotton
Remain in Fields?Other News
and Notes of Western York.
(By st Stall; Correspondent).
Sharon, Jan. 31?Because of the condition
of the roads caused by the
heavy snowfall of last week, letter
carriers serving the two routes lead
ing out ot Sharon were tiname to uikc
their rounds last Thursday. Even in
good weather . Sharon letter carriers
have some of the roughest roads in
York county to travel over and because
of the heavy snow that was on
the ground Thursday, it was simply
impossible for them to make the
trip. It was pointed out Friday that
the two. carriers here Messrs. W. T.
Sims and W. P. Youngblood, carriers
of Nos. 1 and 2 respectively, have
missed only four days- in the past
eighteen years-in serving their patrons
because of weatlier conditions. The
carriers made the trip Saturday, although
according to both of them, it
was rather hard going.
Much Cotton in the Field
Inspection of the country around
Sharon shows that there is still a great
quantity of cotton remaining in the
fields ungathered and indications are
that there will lie a large portion of It
that will not be gathered; but instead
\\il1 be turned under when farmers be
gin woru on anotner years crop, i^onsierablc
cotton is still being brought to
the gin here. While very little was
brought the past week on account of
tho weather, week before last one
of the local ginneries gipned no less
than 51 bales.
Mad Dog at Smyrna.
Reports front the Smyrna section of
vYork county are to/the effect that several
persons living in that section are j
biking the Pasteur treatment to guard
against possible danger as the result
of their having been bitten by a mad
dog about two weeks ago. The dog, a
valuable bird dog, said to be the property
of a well known Smyrna man,
either scratched or bit several persons
in the neighborhood before any suspicion
that it might be suffering from
rabies was aroused. The dog was killed
and its head sent to Columiba, for
exartLniation. Report from the authorities
there was to the effect that
the head showed unmistakable 'evi/I

liavc been bitten by the dog.
Not Interested in Fertilizer.
Inquiry among merchants who handle
fertilizer is to the effect that few
larmcrs have made inquiries about
their 1921 supply so far and that not
a single ton has been hauled out of
town for the season, although up to
this lime last year much fertilizer hod
been hauled out into the country.
"Farmers just simply don't appear to
be interested in fertilizer," said a
salesman Friday in' talking about the
matter. "Thus far my tlrm has had
a few inquiries; but very few and
there -have been no sales."
Hunters Busy.
Rabbit and bird hunters have been
out and after them since the big snow
organ Jailing nisi wounusuay. r>oiuv
reported pretty good luck and others
no luck at all. A bong thfr hunters out
Friday morning was Mr. Ham i'ratt.
He got one rabbit. "I expected to hunt
birds; but didn't see any," said Mr.
I'ratt. "There was nothing to shoot
at except the rabbit and so I shot it.

biting northwester blowing, 528 candidates
waded knee .deep in water
and slush tonight into the Mystic
Cave of the Knights of Ku KIux Klan,
mounted the heights of superior
knighthood, where they may now sit
among the gods of the empire invisible.
The ceremonial?greatest since the
rounding of the ^organization?was
held on the 54th anniversary of the
taking of the oath as imperial wizard
by' Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest when
the invisible empire of the Ku' Klux
Klan was fourided on January 27, 1S66,
in the hills of Tennessee. xKalf the
a inimmfi stntr fair crrounds. where the
ceremony was held, was knee deep in
water. The tenderfe&t, however, were
not permitted to pick dry spots. They
were forced forward to the strains of
weird music.
The initials took the oath about
the fiery emblem of the order, on the
inside of a great quadrate, formed by
hordes of white robed, hooded figures.
The outer walls of the great square
were guarded by horsemen that none
might enter but those who were conversant
with the "open sesame."
The automobiles of the klansmen
began to move to the fair grounds at
7 o'clock tonight and at S.30 they
were permitted into the park, the candidates
lined up and given their final
instructions. Meanwhile the klansmen
shrouded in white formed the living
cross in thc^ center of the race track;
each held a cross- aloft, the standard

This was the first time in "history .

The nigh was made hideous with
weird whistling and calls from the ;
dark corners of the grounds and from

According to V>\ J. Simmons, imperial
wizard, the order stands for:
1. One hundred per cent Americanism
and roconsccration to bedrock
principles. '
2. White supremacy.
S. To keep forever separate church
and state.
4. To protect woman's honor and
the sanctity of the home.
"Suffragists and women's movements
are causing men and women
to lose sight of an exalted womanhood."
declared the imperial wizard.
"A calk hack to the womanhood of
the past is needed. An insidious attack
on the sanctity of the home has
been made by the modernists?an attack
upon the bulwark about which
the real America was built."
Figures on Membership.

figures on the membership of- the

The order has 30,000 members "above

The Kit KIux Klan was organized
just after the Confederate war in
Tennessee and was formally disbanded
in 1870 by General Forrest, the imperial
wizard. The present organization
was incorporated in 1915. It includes
in its ranks a few survivors of the
original order, who are known as
"klansmen emeritus." The ritual of
Lhc ohlcr is declared to be altogether
original, weird, mystical and .leading
up through' four degrees. Dignity
and decency are declared to be its

The present order was- founded on
Thanksgiving night, 1915, when mCn
