PICKED UP BY ENQUIHER REPORTERS Stories Concerning Folks and Things Some of Which You Know and Some You Don't Know?Condensed For Quick Reading. "Dear Sir:?If you are in Rock Hill in a week or (en days, look me up and 1 can frive you a couple of frood short stories for Views and Interviews, j Yours truly, . Rock Hill, S. C." t. If _ r\?? ino nan oaiuraays ^/u. About the busiest woman in Rock I]ill and one of the busiest in the state is Miss Marie Fewell, secretary of the Rock Hill chamber of commerce. Miss Fcivell has the distinction of being: the oldest woman secretary of a chamber of commerce in the United States in point of service, in fact, so far ?is the records show, there are only two women secretaries of chambers of commerce in the United States. The other lives at Jackson. Tenn. "1 had planned," Miss FcavoII said recently, "to try to arrange whereby 1 might'have Saturday afternoons off; but the work continues to pile up here to such an extent that 1 liuve abandoned the idea." There is no question of tho fact that it is a big iob she has and that she handles it mighty efficiently. Kissing Makes Old Maids. "Dr. Charles E. Baker, of Washington, an eminent psychologist, is being quoted on a very touching subject?the; subject of kissing. According to his reasoning kissing makes old maids. Dr. Baker says to the girls of the country, i 'If you want to be an old maid, kiss I your sweetheart good night.' Dr. Baker brought forward a solution for the! age-old problem; 'Sweet Sixteen. Can 1 Kiss You Good Night?" There is nothing wrong, he says, in a young man giving his girl a kiss before lie parts with her at night. There is nothing wrong in that?but girls, don't do it,' says lie. "More girls have been robbed I of future husbands as a result of the j goodnight kiss than for any other rea- i son. Girls, do you want me to tell you a secret? Well it's this: After a man kisses a girl he doesn't want her." An Example of Thrift. "r?r.nii. ?f Mrs. John Armstrong fM'i-R Tallinn Wfcittakor) ::t Clover' i'riday furnisl.i s :i wt-mh-i ful ? :rt?ijii- ' of thrift." said a Cover man \vi:o was in Yorkville. yesterday.

More Truth Than Pcutry. The \ian Miijiif Town was a little "lit of humor yesterday. Here's hoping Hint he felt hotter when he deli\ eretl h i'Tirol f of the following: "Man comes into this without h'.s consent, and leaves it against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one eor.tinna! round of contraries juid. misunderstandings. ' In i his infancy, he's an angel; in his hoy! hood, he's a devil, and in his manhood, he is everything from a lizard up. If lie raises a family, he's a cliump. If he raises a chock, he's a crook. If lie ; is a poor man, he is a poor manager, ' and has no retire. If lie is rich,, lie is i dishonest hut considered smart. If lie ! is in politics he is a grafter and a thief. If he is out of politics, you cannot place him as he is an undesirable citizen. If ho donates to foreign ' missions, lie docs it for show: if he doesn't, he is stingy and a tightwad. When he ro>r,"s into the world, they all want to kiss him; before he leaves it, they all want to kick him. If he dies young, there was a great future before him. If he lives to a ripe old age, he is only in the way, just living to save funeral expenses. So life is just j one damn thing after another." War ..and Marriage. A friend who lives in Darlington, S. C., sends the following as a contribution to Views and Jnterviews's column: The following is a comparison of war and marriage by a. young man that has had experience in both: A fellow meets a girl and decides that she is the woman he wants to "battle" thr/iugh life with. You "present arms" and she "falls in." Vou talk it over and decide on an "enga* <"nenl." At the marriage ??? .. ?.? ??*/* A ii*_ J UCOnSV lllitt.MII ,1UII iili.ii > !> . .. istcr "swears yon in".

Thomas of the local legion bearing large United States flags. Several cars bearing close relatives followed the body of their brother and after them came American Legion men who were followed by a long line of automobiles. Upon arrival at the family burial plot the body of the mother was lowered with a brief committal service. The military procession wound round l.o the rear of the cemetery to the special plot set aside for the last resting place of American Legion men, donated by the Yorkvillc Cemetery Association.

The Southern Methodist church ' ivill put on a campaign May 20 to I line 5 for the purpose of raising $33,KIO.030 endowment for the educational institutions of the church. The principal speaker was Dr. II. W. Jox, president of Emory university, ! 'vtlanta, Ga? wiiose theme was the oh ectives, lirsi OI umtll nua VIII education. l-Io pointed out the difi.rence between denominational cdu alion and the non-sectarian educaiun. That Christian atmosphere which 1 s present in all religious institutions 1 s lacking' in the non-sectarian schools. 1 n the latter it is impossible to have he Bible taught because of the many aried creeds, which object to any 1 ireed but their own being taught in 1 he schools, consequently none is aught. Tin- financial end of the campaign onlcmp'alcs raising $33,0011.1100 for riirislian education in the south. South Carolina's quota is $3.207,000: he Upper South Carolina conference o furnish $1,117,5(10 of this. Those subscribing to the fund will have five cars in which to pay it. The liftli objective is lo deepen the ' ipiritiial life of the people. Tile salva- j inn of this country, politically, socially j 1 ind religiously depends upon the south, i lot from the standpoint of mere j 1 ragging, but from the grave respon- j iibilitv resting upon the south. t ????> I BANDITS MAKE HAUL , Enter Chicago Jewelry Store and Get ! $200,003.

Parking Ordinance Pleases. ,,mv iit-iiinnnco nasscd by the city council relative to the parking of cars on 3fuin street is proving quite pleasing to Rock Jliil people. Under Lhe new ordinance all of the cars must be parked along side in the middle of the street, allowing a passage way on both sides. Thus far there have been no accidents and the new ruling is working well all around. The New Freight Depot. Rock ilill is right after a now freight lepot. Superintendent. W. H. Hudson nf the Southern railway, was here on Thursday afternoon and inspected the present freight depot and got fjctsand figures and. plenty of reasons why a new freight depot should he erected. It was pointed out t'o him that the present freight facilities are less at present ..? n fni'iv* vpars airo when man ltiK-j ?i?-?w ? there were two freight depots here. Suiicriiitendent Hudson gave Chairman Poo of the local freight committee, no satisfaction as to what the railroad company would do. However, there is Lo be no let up here until that new freight depot is built. Must Pay Chauffeurs' License. City council some time ago passed an ordinance requiring all persons who :lrnve an automobile regularly to proride themselves with a chauffeur's license. There are scores of automobile nvners why have failed to obtain the necessary license and the recorder lias >een busy at morning court of late imposing a fine of $1 in every ease reported where the license has not been obtained.

A squad of seven men and i non-commissioned officer went lo I real Falls today Vn attend a military funeral and another' squad goes to t'orkvillo tomorrow to take part in the funeral of Private Mccch Stewart. Puppy at Large. Some visitor in town today lost a pretty Idack-haircd puppy, evidently " '-1'1 rph" loomv i.s lust a lew miis.-> ..iu. ....^ iusL at that ago when dugs are "rem nile." it' they ever are. The KnqHirer's ajrrrspunclent was walking down Main street this morning when he noticed he little puppy wandering aimlessly 1 bo lit. The puppy had evidently been I vandering about a trash barrel or slop jarrel somewhere, because his pretty >lack coat was all smeared. Neverheless he was a pretty puppy and. the correspondent determined to have him for his own. An old colored man, the janitor in the bank building just at the 6pot, evidently had the same idea in mind. He reached the puppy first and seizing it by the back of the neck carried it into the bank building with the explanation, "I am going to steal him." Instead of getting a pretty puppy the correspondent had to content himself | with this story. Breakina the Speed L'mit. Not all the speeding by motor fiends is done on the concrete road between Rock Hill and the river bridge, recording to Mr, R. S. Poag, who was in town today. Mr. Poag lives out on the Saluda road in the direction of Chestei. "There is a good road out my way," he went on to say, "and the way some people run cars out that way is real dangerous. I have appealed to the township magistrate to send his constable out there, but so far nothing has been done. I am just afraid that somebody is going to get killed sooner or later or else badly hurt." Working on the Streets. Street forces were busy today grading Trade street in the vicinity of the Southern depot, preliminary to building a hard surface road along there. That it 'is badly needed there is no doubt. For a long time the street in front of the depot has been one of the worst places in the city and its repair is awaited with pleasure by many people. . i Mother and Daughter Banquet. The Mother and Daughter banquet held in the Chamber of Commerce hall here this evening was a rrjost enjoyable affair.all around, and the fathers, sons and brothers who served as cooks and waiters really distinguished themselves. John Cr. Barnwell, president of the Kiwanis club, was chief cook, witn plenty of assistants, while U. x. Williams, president of the Rotary club, was head waiter. The meal was well'cooked and thoroughly enjoyed and the affair generally was one that will be long remembered by all the participants. 1,500 Chickens Distributed. Miss Juanita Neely, Woman's Home Demonstration Agent for York county, has just completed the work of distributing 1,500 baby chicks among members of the various home demonstration clubs over the_county. Twentyfive chicks have been distri'outed to each member under an arrangement whereby each recipient promises to return four chickens in the fall. Then these chickens will be sold. The idea is to get pure Dreci crucseiis I over the county. Personal Mention. Dr. R. M. Calhoun, proprietor of the Calhoun Drug: company in Yorkville, who has been quite ill at his home here for some time past, has so far recovered as to be up and aboutvagain. Prof. J. W. Shcaly and Miss Turner of the Sharon school, were visitors in Rock ITill today. Theodore Mackorell and Tom Parrott were visitors in Rock Hill today. Mrs. J. K. Alston, Mrs. Parrin, and Mrs. John Warren Quinn of Yorkville, were visitors in Rock Hill this week. KANAPAUX'3 BATTERY. N. J. N. Bowen Furnishes Information Asked for by W. S. Garrison.

T nn nn iiy ,1S Can I iVruuci y, o isu?? J. . ?. ? tain, omitted five names of York county men, as follows: S. D. Barron, Peyton B. Moore, Miles Neely, A. Lawrence Smith, .Tamos Warren. As for Edgar P. Williams, my recollection is that he became a member by being transferred from another command. I am not sure, but I think he came from the 5th South Carolina cavalry. This happpened awhile before S. D. Barron, M. Whitt and -myself were' captured. He was in the company then. He was not a brother of our Billy Williams, as Mr. Garrison was informed; but a distant relative of Attorney Geo. W. Williams, Billy's father. Edgar Williams was an old resident of Yorkvillc. I knew him from my earliest boyhood, and I thought quite an inintelligent man. I met him several times after the war, and asked how he felt when he got lost in the woods on the banks of the Tulafincy river. "Well, Bowen, I tell you I had somewhat of a curious feeling until I saw two Yankee soldiers wandering around like the* were lbst and coming toward me. So 1 got busy and thougnt i wuuiu nv ?-i bluff game on them. I jumped up and| called out to them to surrender and do it quick, at the same time calling, 'Rally! boys, here they are.' So the Yankees threw down their arms and hands up. and I with my gun leveled on them marched them on out and got into the road leading to Gillisonvillc, and turned them over to a squad of Colcock's J regiment of cavalry, which I met in the I road. The Yankees said they fc'.t like i two fools to surrender'to one man a I mile from anybody." X. J. X. Bowen.

But who now remembers that of James Rivington;-the personal spy of George Washington;-'but for whose secret services, skillfully and courageously rendered-to his chipf during the most trying period of-the war, there might have' been ' another tale to tell? *"' * His career was one of the long unsolved mysteries of the Revoiuitiop.

' /m- " There was "no retreat. ; "I heard him on the stairs, his long sword clanking at every step." In he stalked. 'Is your name James Rivingtoji?' he blurted out 'It is, sir,' I said, 'and no man could be more happy.than I am to see Colonel Ethan Allen.' 'Sir I have come*?' 'Not, another word, colonel,' I said, 'until you have taken a seat and a glass of.tjiis old Madeira' 'But, sir, I don't think jt proper?' he stammered. 'Not a word, colonel;.- t^ste this wine, sit down, I have had that oid Madeira over ten years.' . He toOTc the glass swallowed the wine, smacked his lips, $nd sat down. We finished two bottles of Madeira, and parted a:s good friends as if we had no cause to be otherwise." But the time came when Jthere was more serious business ..on hand, and Rivington was treated to a course .of patritic discipline that stopped, for a while, his career as the- "King's Printer." In 1775 he published a scurrilous article! about Captain Isaac Sears, one of the most ardent and zealous of the young Republicans, and a leading spirit in the society of the "Sons of Liberty." Sears, a* the head of a squad of light horsemen, rode down to the printing establishment of Rivlngton, at the foot of Wall street, placed a guard with fixed bayonet's!' around it. destroyed his presses, carried. off his type and made bullets out of it, and served notice oil Riving-" ton to leave the country.
