FORT MILL MATTERS Greeting of the Governor?Policeman' Makes Easy Haul?Highway Com- ; missioners Let Road Contract. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Fort Mill, S. C.. Sept. 25?A large number of prominent citizens of Fort Mill were disappointed Sunday afternoon when they went to the junction, of the Pleasant Valley and Camden-Charlotte highway to meet and escort Governor Wilson G. Harvey to the North Carolina line, as Governor Harvey came from Columbia via Rock Hill and Fort Mill. A few people who went to Pineviile and down to Flint Hill church encountered the governor's party near the latter place, and reported to him the good intentions of his admirers here. He is expected in Fort Mill Tuesday morning for a short stay on his return trip to Columbia. Night Police Officer J. O. Hammond says that offenders are making things easy for him. A few nights ago, having an offender in charge, he passed a ne gro's house, and the occupant, seeing a. flash light, called out to know what it was. The offender answered that it was the police, when the negro told him to send the policeman to him, thinking it was only a joke. Officer Hammond went to the negro who wanted to seo him, and discovered that he was carrying a concealed weapon which he took along with $20 as a bond for his appearance before Recorder Ott. The oontract for building eight miles of standard top soil roads within | Port Mill township was this afternoon awarded by the highway commissioners to J. W. Houseal of Winnsboro, S. C., the bid, which was the lowest, being $2,700 per mile. The work will probably begin within ten days, and there will 'be two gar.gs employed, one on the road north of the town's limits along the Steele Creek road to the ^ North Carolina line, and the other to the south Of Fort Mill on the i'oad leading to Railcs* bridge and the Lancaster county line. The former will connect with the road now under construction by the North Carolina authorities, and thus provide, an excellent highway from Fort Mill to Charlotte. The connection will also lead to the Mtvklpnhurg-York bridge. Col. T. B. Spratt, W. B. Meach'am, and W. H. Crook compost' th<? highway commission, and the H. S. Jaudon Engineering company of Elberton, Ga., are the engineers. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ?

The South Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative association lias paid more than $1,000,000 in advances to its members, officials of the association announced at Columbia last Saturday night. Payments during the last week averaged more than $iuu,uuu a nay. The money paid out has been advanced on the basis of 12 cents a pound for short staple and 18 p.ents for long. It is the first advance made by the newly organized cooy>erative. which is patterned after the California organifc zations and the Hurley Tobacco Growers association in Kentucky, and a similar organiatlon In North Carolina. Fifty car loads of cotton reached the Columbia warehouses Saturday. Heavy incoming shipments are reported at the concentration points in Greenville and Spartanburg. ? The state educational department paid out state funds to the public schools of South Carolina, during the year from July 1, 1921, through June 30, 1922, to the amount of $1,350,063. This corresponds to $1,486,419 for the previous year.

The largest apportionment any one county received for the year went to Spartanburg, $92,852. Greenville, received the second largest xoiai, cnesterneict receiveo the third largest amount, $73,443.

FOOD IN MOSCOW Conditions at the Capital More Prosperous Than in the Interior. Diamonds and food fcre the chief attractions in the great open air markets of Moscow, which are running full blast this summer after several years of inactivity, writes a correspondent. Food of all kind3 is to be had in abundance, there being meat, flour, and canned goods. The display reminds one of a market in the United States. The prices generally arc higher than in America. The meats, fresh, dried and smoaked, are heaped in enormous piles in the small stalls in front of which the Moscow housewives assemble in throngs all day long in search of their wants of the moment. Tons of potatoes and fresh vegetables just from the fields, are dumped into the stalls in the morning. Women of the neighborhood fill their baskets and then hurry from the market place in an endless procession which continues until late in the afternoon. seeing tnc neaps or mod ot an Kinds. | even bottled pickles from London, it is difficult for foreign visitors, to realize tliat in various ports of Russia today the American relief administration alone is feeding approximately 10,000,000 persons, chiefly as a result of effects brought about by war, revolution, and the fum^ie of'last year. In the diamond and jewelry section of the markets the dealers, chiefly j women, sit in long rows displaying their wares 011 their fingers and about their necks. Their blouses and shirt waists serve as a background for brooches, ear r'ngr, necklaces, tiny jewelled watches and other articles of; personal adornment, which camo down from the aristocracy, perhaps, through want and the "pawn shop" route. The diamonds are not of the best but it is here that the largest crowds assemble, even in greater numbers than before the food stall. Some are endeavoring to sell, others are haggling over the price of a stone, a watch, or some other piece of jewelry. The brighter the sun the greater the crowd in the row where the diamonds are shown. Many of the onlookers obviously are attracted by tho spark11 tuirhnns and '"'(i jv.av,. l?l ? specked with carbon, but diamonds still, and good for tired, hungry eyes which for a change long for a feast of jewels as a reminder of other days. OBJECTION TO MARRIAGE. Kaiser Wilhelm's Future In-Laws Do Not Like It a Bit. A veritable storm of indignation continues in inner monarchial circles, especially among the former higher court nobility, over the former kaiser's intention to marry again, relates a Berlin dispatch. Princess Herminie Schonach Carolath, a 37-ycar-old widow, the happy bride-to-be, is telling the secret to friends and relatives everywhere and makes no concealment of her pride over her "catch," and the fact that she will be spoken of in history as "second wife of Wilhelm II. the last Ho henzollern." Somo of her relatives, however, take a 0liferent view. "We are horrified," writes one of those in a letter which I read today. "If the kaiser must marry, why her? What a terrible position for her five children! Ilerminie writes us that she will marry the kaiser and that we may tell it to our children." The former kaiser's marriage will make him father of an even dozen children. According to friends and relatives of the princess, tho kaiser's courtship wus most impetuous and quite in keeping v/ith his impulsive nature. Princess Herminie wrote him such a touching letter of sympathy and condolence after the death of the former empress mat ne mviieu ner <o visu mm in noiland, which she did during the summer. .It is alleged that he popped the question with all Jthe ardor of youth, six days after her arrival. Henry Ford Wealthiest Man in the World.?Henry Ford is the richest man in the world, according to an article published a few days ago by the Wall Street Journal, of New York. "Henry Ford has in the Ford Motor company, the largest income and, if capitalized, the largest fortune in the world," said the newspaper. "Profits before taxes for 1922 will exceed $125,000,000; after taxes they will be $110,000,000, or about $100 a car. With these earnings the Ford Motor, company could be capitalized at $2,000,000,000 and pay five per cent, on that capital. "Ford condemns bankers, but with $ ISO,000,000 in cash he is the largest banker in this country, if not in the world. "His income, adding to his boundless wealth $500,000 a day through the busy | season, is probably unequallzed in all ! history. "If he continues to pile up cash at this rate he cannot long denounce Wall street or the money power of the country. "Henry Ford will be that money power." New Bonus Bill.?Senator Bursum, Republican, New Mexico, has introduced in the senate another soldiers' bonus measure, defined in its title as "the veterans refund and adjusted compensation act." The measure would provide for payments of $20 for each month of service, together with the return of all compulsory allotments made by the service men and payments on account of government insurance between April 5, 1917, and July 1, 1919. No provision is made for financing the bonus. Where the amount due a veteran did not exceed $50 it would be paid in full or* October 1, 1923. In all other cases, fifty per cent, would be paid October 1, 1923, and the remainder on October 1, 1926, together with interest at 4 per cent.' The obligations given by the government on unpaid sums could not be used as security for loans except under regulations prescribed by the secretaries of war and of the navy. At?
