Fort Mill Times, July 26: Twenty- j
two members of the Fort Mill troops,
Boy Scouts of America, left town at
6.30 o'clock Wednesday morning forj
Chimney Ttock, in the mountains of:
western North Carolina, where they
will go Into camp for ten days. The trip
was made in a large motor truck and
was expected to consume about 12
hours. Mac Archer, Fort Mill soldier
who was severely wounded overseas
while in the service with the Fort Mill
company, is expecting soon to enter the ,
government hospital at Fort Mcpherson,
Atlanta, for treatment, his wounds j
never having healed satisfactorily I
Hop. E. Gettys Nunn of Rook Hill was
a visitor to Fort Mill for a few hours
Tuesday morning. After serving the j
country acceptably for six years as a
member of the house of represents- ;
tivbs Mr. ?Nunn declined last year to1
offer for reelection and now says he is
out of politics Claude Gamble,
World war veteran, who was severely
wounded in action with the Fort Mill!
company In the attack on the Hlndenburg
line, returned a few days ago to
the home of his father, J. M. Gamble, j
near town, after spending several
months as a patient at a government
hospital in Asheville, N. C. His health
his improved steadily for some time
and he is now hopeful that he will not
have to return to the hospital for further
treatment Two hundred citizens
of the community were at the
Southern passenger station Sunday
night at 9 o'clock to greet the Fort
Mill military company upon its return
from Mount Pleasant, where for 15
days it had been in camp with . the j
other companies of the First regiment,;
S.C. N. G. The officers and men of the
cbmpany came home in good condition
physically, there having been only one
or two slight attacks of illness among
them during the encampment i
The building which has for years been
used by the Gold Hill public school has j
outlived its day and now the trustees |
are planning to either erect an entire-1
ly new building next year or make ad- 1
ditfons to and remodel the present
building to provide for the increased
attendance at the school. Recently
the chairman of the board of trustees,
W. H. Crook has been corresponding
with the county superintendent, John
JE3. Caeroll, with reference to state aid
for a'new building, which Mr. Carroll1
urges Instead of additions and repairs
to the old building. There seems
practically no doubt that financial as- I
sistance for a new building would be
forthcoming from the state, but the
law does not otherwise provide building
aid for schools. Already the Gold
Hill school Is considered one of the
best country schools in this section of
the state, but A-ith the improved facif

only right to state that from the best
information we have been able ! > get

per cent at the most about here.

LEFT TO MELLON
Secretary of the Treasury Has Full
Authority.
The senate finance committee last
rhursduy, voted a favorable report on
!he bill giving Secretary of the Tieasily
Mellon unlimited power to arrange
or collection of foreign loans.
The only limitation put on Mr. MelIon's
power by the committee was an
amendment by Senator Penrose, Pennsylvania,
requiring that the refunding
if foreign loans be finished within five
years.
Secretary Mellon gave the committee
the first outline of his plan for collecting
the $11,000,000,000 Kurope owes
the United States \n principal and in- i
40
terest. . I
Mr. Mellon told both what he would ,
ind would not do, if giv/rn the aurhor- !
Ity by congress he asked for. He said
he would:
Start with Great Britain, the principal
debtor, and follow with France
und other countries.
Ask each debtor to submit *a statement
telling how it cou'd pay and
what terms it desired.
Defer interest collection for sometime
to come although not necessarily,
to April 13, 19:12, the date concerning
which former Secretary Houston
had an "understanding"' with Great
Britain.
That he might consent to a still further
deferment of. interest if it is
sought by Great Britain and France.
Mr. Mellon said he would not:
Accept bonds of any nation excepi
the direct indebtor. In other words, he
would not take Serbian, Greek or Polish
bonds in payment or as security
for monty loaned Great Britain or
France.
As to acceptance of German bonds.
Mr. Mellon said he cou'd not now say
whether that question will have to be
considered.
