In another column of The Times will be found the yearly report of the retiring treasurer of the Parent-Teachers' club, which will open the eyes of many to the great amount of work done by this loyal body for the graded school the past year. This club, formed just one year ago. has expended in actual cash $145.00; has on hand $20.50, and will within the next two weeks collect something like $25.00 for yearly dues. In addition to the above the club interested the community in observing a community service day last fall when much permanent work was done on the school grounds, cinder walks made, and a hedge of privet set around the circular walk. They are truly grateful to the friends of the school who contributed to the work with time, hands, teams and brains. Elegant drinking fountains have been installed this year in the school building on both floors, the walls kalsomined, and the entire building thoroughly cleaned; ?ii n,* ...v,i i i i an ui wiiiuii nuf> ut'trii uunt? ;n their expense and instance. The superintendent and teachers are very appreciative of the efforts of this splendid organization and work in perfect harmony with them in all their plans. Too much praise cannot be rendered Mrs. J. T. Young, the retiring president, for her untiring efforts to accomplish so mucn of the work done. We hope that the friends of the school will continue to render their aid and advice to the club and that the good work will continue un Good "Biz." To paraphrase an old adage, one may be permitted the suggestion that while there is no royal road to distinction, the editors of one or two exchanges which come to this office have hit upon a short route?they print in their papers every reference they can find in other papers to themselves. This brand of journalism is something new under the sun, but it undoubtedly adds to the self-esteem i and importance of the editor and is edifying and instructive to the reader. The public ought to know what a great and smart man the editor is. Certainly no one is in quite as good position to furnish this important information regularly as the editor himsel f. It is to be hoped the day is far removed in which the members of the Mutual Admiration Society of South Carolina Editors fail to write about each other and to print in their papers what the other editor says ol them. Life in this grand old commonwealth would hardl.v be worth the living without the opportunity to read the pungent personal paragraphs they spin each at the expense of 'tother. The landing a few days ago j of a large body of Russian j troops at Marseilles, France, to assist the French in repelling the onslaughts of the Germans was an incident of the European war which is apt to be construed as evidence of impending French ; exhaustion. But that opinion M--1- - 2 - - * * liKeiy is incorreci. Admitting that the French losses have been large and that the power of resistance of the nation is not as great as it was some months ago, France is yet to be reckoned with as a mighty foe, which the Germans, notwithstanding the! irreparable losses they have inflicted upon this brave and heroic people, are seeing visual evi-; dence of in the heaped-up piles of their dead as each new day marks a fresh attack on the Verdun or other French fronts. One is safe in saying that for every two French soldiers who have fallen in the war, three Germans have gone down before the republic's troops to rise no more. I It i3 quite the right thing from the German point of view for ths Zeppelins to raid England and murder by the score helpless women and innocent children, 1 but when the crew of an English trawler to save their own throats from being slit refused to rescue from drowning the beasts that manned one of these Zeppelins, the Bosches cry aloud to the Almighty and to civilized mankind to witness the perfidy of the English people. Old man Jim Mann, leader of, the Republicans in the National j House of Representatives, informs the country that Woodrow Wilson, being a Scotch Presbyforion Uofno U wvt inn, uatuiaiij natco tllC L/UI*. 11 and is therefore insistent on working up a war with Germany. I All of which is so stupid and inane that thick-headed partisan j that he is, the old Chicago codger i must have learned by this time j that he has made a fool of him- 1 self. York County News Matters. |, i 1, (Clipped from Our Exchanges.fc Court of general sessions for York county was busy the past week and a great deal of work was accomplished. The trial of all criminal cases to come up , were concluded Friday and tha j j jurors were discharged Friday afternoon. An unusual sight on the streets of Yorkville last week was a youn<r man born without arms. 1 Under one arm-pit grew a thumb nnrl forp-fintror whilo from tlio other protruded a deformed foot. The young man was making his way by selling post cards bearing i his picture and writing with his j toes. He gave his name as; Nummly Tipton. of Finger- I ville, S. C. The Supreme court of South Carolina has refused a re-hearing in the case of Julian Strait vs. the city of Rock Hill, in which case a decision was handed down on the 4th of March. Mr. Strait secured a verdict for five thousand dollars against the city, for the loss of an arm while employed in running a rock crusher for the city. With the decision recently of the citizens of Bethel school district to place a special five mill tax upon the district for school purposes, each of the fifty-six school districts in York county now has a special levy of from two to eight mills and York is the first county in the Piedmont section of South Carolina to be able to boast of such a record.

Lee. a former Fort Mill man. who has been residing for several years at Finlay, Texas, near the Mexican border line, writes The Times as follows : ''The Mexican situation looks mighty serious at present. The Mexicans have little sense and 1 you cannot reason with them at all. They always believe what they hear whether it is truth or not. A Mexican wrote me a letter a few days ago saying that he was coming with his men to raid Finlay and was going to kill all the Gringoes and burn the depot. United States secret service men got him and he is now in jail. However, we are not worrying much over the situation." Advance of Print Paper. At the beginning of the year. ! The Enquirer purchased a carload of the excellent paper on which this issue is printed, at slightly less than 4 cents a pound, and this week, a paper drummer advised the business office that he would not be willing to sell a similar carload for less than 8 1-4 cents. There is an advance of more than 100 per cent in the price of the white paper The Enquirer is using and at this time the stock on hand could be sold at a prolit of not less than $1,000.?
