High Prices This Fall.
High prices are being felt very
keenly by local merchants in the
new fall goods for this season,
says a neighboring exchange. !
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. The law was later

Catawbas Want Lands. *
A Washington despatch of re- 4
cent date said that I^orenzo Med- ' 4
lin, an attorney of Rockingham, |
N. 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, ?

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.' (

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.

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

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

"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.

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.
