C., a woman signing herself "A Loyal Daughter of ('* the Confederacy," indorses the ' idea that a monument be erected J to perpetuate the memory of the Ku Klux Klan and suggests that |' Fort Mill would be a suitable place for such a monument. "I want to live to see this monument unveiled," says the writer, i "and am ready at any time to \ contribute my mite to the. fund." i Want Bridge at Old Site. Signed by a large number of! ] citizens of that section, a peti- : tion was presented the county i board of commissioners at their monthly meeting here Wednes- 1 day asking that the bridge over Catawba river between Ebenezer J and Fort Mill townships be re- < built at the old site, says the < Yorkville Enquirer of Friday. 1 The petition was read to the1' board, which took it under ad- i visement. v j \ Candidates for Congress.

Mrs. Johnston's illness extended over a period of many months and her death was not unexpected by her family and friends. Mrs. Johnston was a daughter of the late John Gordon and had a number of relatives in this city j and section. Of the immediate family, she is survived by a husband and four children. Ul-Shaped Counties. After scrutinizing carefully a map of McCormick county, formed some months ago of parts of Abbeville, Edgefield and Greenwood counties, a citizen of this ; -J * - 1 ockuun wnu is an auvucaiK ui Catawba county, came to The Times office a day or two ago with the McCormick map in hand and remarked that he did not see how a proposed county with any sort of irregular lines could fail to stand the test of the courts since McCormick had "got by." The matter of the formation of ill-shaped counties will perhaps! be settled by the justices of the supreme court and the judges of the circuit courts sitting en banc within the next day or two. The suit before the supreme court is to test the constitutionality of at i v ii? /-? 1 * ? liil act ui tiie uenerai Assemmy of 1912 against the formation of ill-shaped counties. The constitution itself is silent on the subject and the proponents of Catawba county therefore hold that the act in question is unconstitutional, as was held by Governor Blease when he refused co sign the act. An interesting story in connection with the Catawba county litigation comes via Rock Hill to the effect that with one of the justices disqualified, the court stands two for the constitutional ity or tne act and two against it. Hence the calling in of the circuit judges to sit in the case. The Price of Cotton Seed. Mighty few of us are good mathematicians, and so whenever cotton seed are quoted at $40 or $50 a ton the average person has to figure with pencil what the price is per bushel. The following rule is so simple and so easy that we reproduce it: "When the price of a ton is given in dollars, take half the price of a ton and add it to itself and the result will be the price of a bushel in cents. Thus. > if seed are worth $20 a ton. take half of 20 and add it to 20 and you get 30 cents as the price of a bushel. If seed are $30 a ton, take half of 30, which is 15, and add it to 30 and you get 45 cents as the price of a bushel of spp<1 Now, to find the price of a ton, in dollars, when the price of a bushel in cents is known, you subtract one-third of the price of i bushel in cents from itself and you have the price of a ton in dollars. Thus, suppose the price :>f a bushel in cents is 00 cents, the third of GO is 20 which taken from GO leaves $-10 as the price A a ton. The rule is so easy that anyone who knows the multiplication table can pass from the ton to the bushel or from the bushel to the ton almost as fast as he can talk." A Good Defense. Recently a merchant in Missisdnrti hnnnnnurl ' <*.. -r- r - ..Mr/(/viivu VV OCC a 1 (XI I 11 CI I receive a box of goods at the deoot and noticed that it was from * mail order house. "I could have sold you the goods for less money and saved you the freight," observed the merchant. "I have taken the local paper for a year," replied the farmer, "and have not seen in it a line about you selling these or any ather kind of goods. The mail arder house sends me advertising matter asking for my trade and they get it. If you have bargains to offer, why don't you tell about them in the paper?" THE FORT j York County News Natters. (Yorkville Enquirer.) Wylie Brice was committed to jail Saturday by Magistrate Glenn of Ebenezer on the charge of house breaking and larceny. A little grand child of Sidney Vance, of Sharon, was bitten by a mad dog Saturday. The dog was killed and its head sent to Columbia for examination and the authorities announced that it was undoubtedly suffering from rabies. The child is getting along nicely. Mr. T. E. McMackin of Bethany. who was a business visitor in Yorkville Friday was showing some last year's receipts for cotton sold. He received $65.84 for two bales last year whereas one bale this fall is bringing a much larger sum. Beyond the expectations of the county board of education was the number of persons who apnpurorl in t lio nnnnf vv4 in- viiv vuui v i v/viu i i tuaj morning to stand the fall teachers' examination. Most of those who took the examination are natives of York county although there were several Winthrop college girls and several residents of North Carolina included in the number.

Arch Steele of the Blairsville section, died in Columbia Friday evening and was buried in Woodlawn cemetery, Sharon, Sunday afternoon following funeral services conducted by Rev. Dr. W. 13.

Expectancy never ran so high before and it iz that this district will aenJ a large delegation to feed tne elephants. Unusual interest centers around the gigantic spectacle, "Cinderella," with which the famous showmen are this season opening their wonderful main tent program. "Cinderella" is probably the best loved of all fairy tales and to see it produced with more than 1000 dersons, hundreds of dance girls and glorious pageants, indeed gives promise of making "childhoods irolden dreams come true " I In the same great tent will come the marvelous circus numbers in which 400 men and women performers, scores of trained animals and a galaxy of special features are introduced. The majority of the acts are entirely new to America, the Ringling Bros, having secured the pick of those European performers who have been obliged to seek engagement in this country because of the war. The all new street parade will take place show day morning AN ORDINANCE Relating to Dealers in Junk.
