All lines of dry goods are ad- ' vanced in prices, and the advance in the price of clothing is very great. But perhaps the hardest hit is the shoe man. The sctrcity of leather has led to all sorts of substitutes, resulting in an inferior grade. The price of shoes is up something like 15 percent. This means that retail j prices have advanced 25 cents or 50 cents a pair. Of course the same grade shoe may be had j by paying the price for it. But the trade requires that the mer- i chant keep a shoe for a standard price, ' say $2.00. Th<_ shoe j which will buy this tall is not as good as last year's shoe at the same price. For this , situation the local merchant is in no wise to blame. His profit at the higher price is in many instances less than the ordinary profit on shoes, and less than he ' should have. Can Operate the Railroads. ] In answer to inquiries as to the powers of the federal govern- J ment over the railroads in event . of a strike it can he said that in a former emergency the government took over the roads, operated them and otherwise exercised all powers of ownership over them for the time being. This l was during the War Between ] the Sections, and the present . emergency would constitute such 1 a situation that similar action might he anticipated. Congress afterward approved of the action , and enacted a la a' giving the president power to take possession of any or all railroads 1 when the public safety might ' require it.

C., was there looking into 4 records, deeds and leases at the ^ land office trying to establish the i alleged rights of the Catawba tribe of Indians to 164,000 acres of the choicest land in South Carolina. This land was leased, ? it was stated, about 100 years ago for 99 years, the Indians keeping only enough for a reser-1 vation. They now want their, ? tAttd ?r a aelttcment. * I Sees Victory for Manning. "Woodrow Wilson will be reelected president of the United i States next November and Richard I. Manning will be renomi- i nated governor next Tuesday," 1 said Senator B. R. Tillman Monday afternoon as he was leaving for his home at Trenton, after spending the day in Columbia. The aged Senator savs he is enjoying fine health and he appears to be in the best of spirits. He left Washiqgton about two weeks ago and has since been resting on his farm at Trenton. Blease Makes Statement. In a statement issued Wednesday night. Cole L. Blease says his pre-primary estimate has been justified, and he would have been elected on the first primary ballot if a full vote had been cast. "I am unable as yet to account for the shortage, unless it was due to the rains," he said. "I am thoroughly satisfied that I will hold the vote that I have," continued the statement. "And will get at least one-half or possibly two-thirds of the vote which was given Mr. Cooper, a considerable portion of which is normally with us, but which ( went to Mr. Cooper for personal reasons. I am confident that I , will win on the next ballot by from 15,000 to 20,000.' ( I A Costly Return. "Securing of the National Guard vote was quite expensive < to the party," remarked B. J. ? White, chairman of the Demo- i crat ic executive committee, yes- i terday. "There were only 3 i votes in the Fort Mill National . Guard company, but the telegram from Fort Bliss telling of the vote cost $18." Mr. White said that it cost $34 to receive the vote of the National Guard. Re- , turns from the Fort Mill and i Rock Hill National Guard companies were received by regular telegram Wednesday but the vote of the Fort Mill Supply ? company came by night letter j and was received vesterdav This reduced the cost considerably. ?Yorkville Enquirer. Plant Burr Clover. j Editor The Times: I want to ( again call the attention of the farmers of York county to the plan of J. F. Ezell, county agent \ of Spartanburg, of planting burr \ clover on every turnip patch this i fall. This is an excellent idea. No farmer will ever plant a large acreage of burr clover until he ( raises the seed on his own farm. * The turnip patch is usually ma- J nured with stable manure. This will insure a splendid catch of ( inoculation and success the first s year, constituting a seed patch a for both clover seed and inocu- [ lating bacteria. Let the slogan be "Burr clover on every turnip patch in York county this fall." <, The cost is small and the results sood. A. A. McKeovvn, County Agent.

For Your Satisfa For Your Goodw Ardrey's, J THE FORT M] Surveys for Roddey Road. The Rock Hill chamber of commerce furnishes the following: "It is understood that the engineers who have been here for several weeks surveying # the routes for the Seaboard connection, have made three complete surveys leading from Rock Hill to the Seaboard. "One of the lines leads direct from Rock Hill to Edgemoor, one to Harmony, and one to Spencer. John T. Roddey and associates have not come to any conclusion as to which one of these lines will be used. This matter is now being thoroughly considered both from the standpoint of freight ~? ? oiivj i^aaocngci etrrvice. "It is hoped that the builders of the road will come to a decision the next few days, since people throughout this section have exhibited quite an interest in the Seaboard connection, especially since the surveyors have been on the job." Strange Condttions. It gives a strange feeling to contemplate present conditions. While on the one hand "I see a huge crowd pacing the boulevards at midnight," says one writer, the crowd that "with shout and laughter garnish the days." elbowing their way into dance halls, cabaret cafes and theatres of thickly populated cities, apparently enjoying prosperous times, at the same time, on the other hand,- "sorrow comes with finger lifted to her lip" and there is more than one. "narrow room on the top floor of a house shrouded in silence," i on account of the awful war and other calamities. Strange that while through it all some men work and others lose their jobs.
