Business Management.
Many small cities and towns
throughout the United States
whose citizens desire up-to-date
methods in running their municipalities
are employing business
managers whose duty it is to
run the town's or city's affairs
in much the same way that a
business manager would run a
big mercantile establishment.
The idea of a business manager
in looking after municipal affairs
comes from Germany, where
most 01 the small towns and
cities have such officials. These
managers are not chosen for any
political reasons but instead for
their ability to conduct all affairs
of the town or city in a businesslike
manner. V Already several
towns and cities of this countrj
have adopted this method and
the latest town to decide on this 1
plan is Glencoe, 111., one of the c
leading and best known suburbs
of Chicago.
Glencoe is a beautiful suburb
whose residents are mostly men
who are well up in the busines*
world of Chicago, and it is onl.v
natural that they shoutrl prefei
the business manager plan in
the conduct of the municipal
affairs of the suburb. Glencoi !
village trustees advertised for a J
business manager and no les*than
150 applications were re- '
ceived, Mr. Gill, chairman o 1
the village board, in outlininp
the duties of the new managei
compared the city governed by a
manager to any big business
firm ?its citizens as stockholder*
and its trustees as directors. It '
is apparent that the idea of a '
business manager to conduct
munibipal atrairs is one that wii!
grow in popularity.
Whitewash.
At this season when many
farmers have whitewashing of
one kind or another to do, the>
will be interested in the follow- '1
ing directions for making what I
is known as "Government Building
Whitewash."
"Slake one-half bushel fresh ]
lime with boiling water, covering
it to keep in the steam. Strain
liquid through a fine sieve and
add seven pounds of fine salt,
previously dissolved in warm
water; three pounds of ground
rice, boiled to a thin paste and j
stirred in, boiling hot; one-half
pound bolted gilders whiting; one
pound white glue, soaked first in
cold water until swollen, then
carefully melted over fire. To
this mixture add five gallons of
hot water and let it stand cov- I
ered a few days."

Timet* Correspondence.
Miss Lessie Epps, who has
been visiting relatives in Darlington
county, returned home
the past week, accompanied by
her little nephew, McNeel Epps.
W. H. Coltharp, of Charlotte, J
visited relatives here the past
week.
Well, we told you last week
about the school books we used
in '46. Now, we will tell you
something about the grub we
took to school. It was corn
x>ne. with butter spread on it, '
jr sometimes a litiie gravy and
i bottle .of .ipilk. . So, we had
pone and milk one day and "for*
alchaoge we had milk andjipone
the next day. Flour bread and
molasses were luxuries that only*
the upper class, or, bon-tons
could afford every day. i
And, now, we will tell you
something about the seasons and
crops of that year. During the
months of Sune of July it rained
i hrpp ivppVs 1 romomhei1 fr?
have heard rriy father say that
it had rained more or less on
twenty-one days consecutively.
The wheat crop was near a complete
loss. Corn on hill lands
was good and cotton did nothing
but grow with the grass. Uncle
Philip Johnson, who that year
farmed the land now owned by
our carrier, T. A. Mills, had
cotton that grew ten feet and
two inches high and we heard
him say, that! it didn't mature
more than two bolls to the stalk.
Now, this is a big story but we
^ ould prove it all if we had our
witnesses here, but they are all
gone. Splinter.

Death of Freeland Steele.
(Contribute.)
Freeland Steele died at his
lome in Pleasant Valley March
LSt, after a brief illness. Mr.
Steele's death brought sadness
.o a number of friends. He
eaves a wife, nine children, one
?f them an infant, father, moth?r,
and several brothers and sis
ers. VV. J. Steele, of Fort Mill,
s a brother.
Freeland Steele was an humDie,
sincere man; an earnest
Christian. He had the confidence
if all who knew him. He was a
i faithful member of the Methidist
church at Pleasant Hill,
ind took interest not only in the
church but in the welfare of the
community as well.
At a meeting Sunday of the
Men's Wesley Bible class, of
which Mr. Steele was a member,
the following resolutions were
pissed:
Whereas, in the wisdom of our
Heavenly Father, He has seen
tit to take from our midst our
brother, and
Whereas, he, though absent
from us, abides with us still, in
his example and influence as an
inspiration to our faith, and
Whereas, by his regular attendance,
his brotherly spirit,
his abiding interest in our class,
lie has so endeared himself to us,
therefore, be it
Resolved; 1st, That we bow in
submission to the will of our
Heavenly Father.
Resolved, 2nd, That we sadly
miss the presence of our Brother
Steele, but, while his place is vacant,
we cherish his memory and
feel that in his going from us he
has beqeathed to us a precious
heritage in the memory of his
contistent life and Christly spirit
and we hear through him anew
the call to renewed consecration.
Resolved, 3rd, That we extend
to his sorely bereaved famil your
sincere sympathy and assure
them of our prayer, and that a
copy of these resolutions be conveyed
to his wife and children.
Mr. Guy Alexander received a
telegram yesterday announcing
the death at Pineville, N. C., of
his aunt, Miss Susan Alexander,
who had been in ill health for
some time.
FIGHT ON MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS
Italians and Austrlans Battle Among
. __ ..PegksTljat Are Considered
Almost Inaccessible?
Italy's. Alpine troops, mountain. at- ;
tillery and several regiments 'of bersaglieri
(sharpshooters) are appar-1
ently bearing the brunt of the war
with Austria.
These troops have since the beginning
of the war been occupying strategic
positions, generally the peaka
of almost inaccessible mountains dominating
the enemy's, forts and in
trencnea camps, naming up guns and
holding these positions against the repeated
attackB of the Austrians who
are striving to open a way toward a
possible future invasion of Italy.
Scarcely any details are available
about their hard fighting up in the
mountains where the snow is still several
feet deep and no eyewitnesses
are present.
A company of Alpini was on the
march at night along a mountain path
skirting a valley 200 feet below. The
path was narrow and a false step
meant death. The men marched carefully
and slowly in Indian file and
kept well in from the edge. The officer
who marched in front when the
1 path widened ordered the men to halt
and lie down for an hour's rest. The
Alpini accordingly rolled themselves
up in their blankets and settled to
sleep, when a dull, muffled noise was
heard coming up from the valley.
Three or four Alpini understood at
once what it meant. The Austrians
down in the valley were mining the
I path from below in the hope of blowup
the force. They looked down the
precipice, but could not see anything.
It was pitch dark. Still the noise continued.
The Alpini hit on a plan at
once and the officer approved it.
One of them, a knife in his mouth
I and a rifle in his hands, was let down
the ledge tied to a rope. When he
saw the shadows of the Austrians
working on the ro"k he fired at a distance
of less than ten yards. The Austrians
fled for cover and then opened
fire against the man dangling from
the rope, but his comrades hauled him
to safety. When the Alpini explored
the valley next morning they found
three Austrians killed and near them
the dynamite charge they were preparing.
