SEPT. 24. 1914. - - " i Anyway, returning Americans are not causing the New York1 customs force much trouble in, searching their baggage now-1 adays. From the gradual rise in the! price of cotton during the last two weeks it would seem that the war "scare" is wearing'1 away, and it looks now as if the staple would bring* 12 cents be- ' fore the 15th of October. !! While the cotton mills in this city, along with mills in several; South Carolina towns, are cur tailing production by running' short hours, it is noticed in the >1 dispatches that the Wylie mill at Chester the last week began 1 day and night operations. This would seem to indicate that the stockholders of the Wylie mill either have a keen insight into the future or are making a big mistake. Over 17,000,000 men of eight j nations are now engaged in war j or preparing for it. Seventeen ! million men have been removed from productive occupation, from useful citizenship in order that they may kill one another. England has appealed to all unmarried men between the ages i of 18 and 30 to join the army ; immediately, and thousands of young men are accordingly drawn from active creative en-1 terprises. What they and the j world will lose can hardly be^ estimated. The crying need of rural sections of this and other States is social centers where the young people can be entertained and insturcted under the direction of cultured, clean and competent leadership; where aesthetic surroundings stir the love for the beautiful; where art charges the, atmosphere with inspiration and {K)wer, and innocent amusement instructs and brightens their i lives. To hold young people on the farm we must make farm j life more attractive, as well as i the business of farming more re-! munerative. The school house; should be the social unit, proper-1 !y equipped for nourishing and building character, so that the lives of our people can properly function around it and become supplied with the necessarv ele inentsof human thoughts and activity. The Hon. W. P. Pollock, the gentleman from Cheraw who made the whirlwind campaign against Governor Blease, now comes forward in a tip-toe manner and announces that he has an am hit ion to succeed the Hon. B. R. Tillman as United States senator in 1916. Of course, as everyone knows, Mr. Pollock would succed Mr. Tillman when the senior senator retires four years hence, but both Mr. Pollock and Mayor Jennings have, we opine, an idea that Mr. Tillman will not survive the four years yet coming to him and are hunting the appointment should he vacate the place before that time. It's a dollar to a doughnut, says we, that neither Poi ock nor Jennings will occupy the I leat now held by the Hon. Ben- c iamin Ryan Tillman* whether it ye in 1914, 1915 or 1916. Asbury b Lever is the next Senator from * South Carolina in our opinion. J Carbolic acid is manufactured entirely in Germany. Some is put out under, Arherican labels ^ but the whole supply comes \ from the kaiser's country and a some is rebottled in the United States. The price has increased 400 per cent, and a bottle that cost. Si a mnnt.h am mats. 5R4 nnw C Quinine is another drug made in Germany and its price has made a wonderful leap. Aspirin has more than doubled, nitric acid is five times higher than a month ago and tartaric acid is jumping. Cream of tartar, which is the sediment from French wine casks, also has doubled. Gum camphor, which industry is controlled by the Japanese government, has been increasing and another skyward shoot is anticipated. Many other lines of drugs are making ascensions of proportionate nature and if the war is not settled soon some kinds will not be available at any price. Oats are not going to be cheap ' this year, whatever else may be cheaper. The Canadian crop is largely a failure and this fact is becoming apparent in the markets of the world. Canada will have none for shipment, not even into the United States, and the United States will have the export trade m oats all to itself. Presumably the English will 3 want some American oats for their cavalry horses. j Organize Football Team. i' The boys of the Fort Mill High 1 School have organized and are ' practicing daily for the coming football season and are extending a challenge to any bona fide , high school team in the State for i games to be played here or else- 1 where. Last year the team did very good work without thorough ] preparation but better results are looked for this year. The line up of the team for the season will be: Quarterback. Heath Belk; right half, Tom Hall; left half, Heath Hafner; fullback. Clarence Link; right end, Joe Nims; left end, Zenas Grier; left tackle, Clarence Hoagland; right tackle, Gary Winded; right guard, Ernest Patterson; left guard, Will Nims: center. Dave Gasfon; subs, James Gaston and Odell Kimbrell. James Burns Dead. Mr. James Burns, one of the town's oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, died at his home in this city Tuesday about noon as a result of paralysis by which he was stricken Saturday evening, while awaiting a train in the railway station. Mr. Bums was extremely ill from the time the disease attacked him, b^ing unable thereafter to speak or take nourishment. The burial was made in New Unity cemetery, this city, Wednesday after- j noon at 4 o'clock, after services in the home. James Burns was in his 71?th! year. He was a native of this township and had spent the greater part of his life here. He was a veteran of the War Between the States and did valiant service for the Confederacy. Of his immediate family there survives a brother, Robt. B. Burns, of the township, and two sisters. Mrs. J. F. Mosteller and Mrs. Nancy Cruse, both of Charlotte. There are also a large number of other relatives in this city and community. Lesslie Defeats Johnson.
