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.

>attery of a high and aggravated

Better Than Poultice.
If at any time you have a gathered
linger or poisoned hand, take u cabbage
leaf, roll It out with a bottle until
the juice conies, and tie It on the affected
part. This will draw and
cleanse It far better than a poultice.
