Newspaper Troubles. > We have been told by one who has investigated that the volume of paper used in the magazines and poriodicals coming into this State is sufficient for the annual needs of all of the job printing plants in the State. There appears to us to be a great waste of flat paper in these times when the price of paper is running so high and no end is in sight. Newspapers generally have assumed that the public was not interested in their business arrangements. Such an unprecedented situation has arisen, however. in connection with the; advance in the cost of print paper?and, for that matter, of practically everything that enters into newspaper production ?that newspapers all over the country are being compelled to make adjustments of advertising and subscription rates to meet the new conditions. White paper is the chief item of expense in newspapers of general circulation, and in the last few months its price has advanced 20 per cent, 50 per cent, and even in some cases 200 per cent. For metropolitan newspapers this means an added cost of production of several hundred thousand dollars a year. Newspapers .and magazines alike are doing their best to tide over the situation with no radical changes. It is only prudent, however, to recognize the fact that if the advances of the last few months continue?as they seem likely to?the entire periodical business will have to be readjusted, ?

The people of the Pleasant Valley community five miles east of Fort Mill will hold their third annual community fair tomorrow, the 27th, between the hours of 9 a. m. and 10 p. m. The occasion of these fairs heretofore has been one of unusual pleasure and interest to the people of this section and have been largely attended. This year's fair promises to be on a much larger and more elaborate scale than heretofore as is indicated by the program and list of entries which has just been issued. Fifteen departments are provided containing a list of more than a hundred entries, no charge being made either for c? -j? ? . i cmnes ur lur aumission, ano blue and red ribbons will be awarded as first and second prizes. The fair is directed lo the social, moral, and educational betterment of community life and to the advancement of domestic and agricultural pursuits, making for improvement of life on the farm, and giving the j people an opportunity to come j into friendly rivalry with their! best product from the field, dairy, pantry and needle. Some fine live stock will be exhibited as the farmers of this community are very progressive and are devoting much energy to the raising of pure bred cattle, hogs, and poultry while the ladies will exhibit canned fruits and vegetables, fancy work and Mowers that would shine at any affair of the kind of more than local interest. A feature which has heretofore proved unusually interesting is the better baby | contest and this will be included in the program for this year. Law Doesn't Affect Homes. "There is no law limiting the amount of liquor which a person may store for his own use in his own home," says Attorney Gen- i eral Peoples in an opinion given a magistrate, adding, "he is not allowed to keep it in his place of business or club room." The attorney general gave this opinion in a letter replying to a magistrate in which he said it was a question of fact whether or not home-made wine is an intoxicating liquor, and if it is, it comes under the same law as that governing all other inioxi-\ , * * ) V. \ fcrl York Fair Well Attended. Despite the very unfavorable weather during the greater part of the week, the York county fair which came to a close Saturday at Rock Hill was largely attended and was pronounced a success in every respect. Friday saw the largest attendance, it being educational day and several thousand children were present, in addition to the adults. The big feature of Friday was the school parade, in which probably 3,000 children participated and 18 splendid floats were seen. It was a holiday for the schools ; and the lair grounds were alive with thousands of children following the parade. The following floats were in line: Ebenezer, Newport, Fort Mill, Lowry-Wilson, Oak Ridge, India Hook, Leslie, Friendship, Arcade Victoria, McConnellsville, Mount Holly, Catawba, Rock Hill. The committee on awards decided the prize winners as follows: First prize for best float to Oak Ridge school; second prize to Catawba school; third prize to Mount Holly school. Prizes for the best showing on foot by schools were awarded the first to Fort Mill, the second to India Hook and the third to Mount Holly. Prizes to the schools having the largest percentage of pupils in line were awarded the first prize to Ebenezer, the second to India Hook, and the third to Catawba. Carhartt Mills Commissioned.

The petitioners are Hamilton Carhartt and W. (i. Henderson. Of the $500,000 capital stock, $000,000 is to 1 be common, and $200,000 seven per cent, preferred stock. Bleaseites Will Not Bolt. That there will be no bolt on the part of the Blease faction in I South Carolina was the general : verdict of the conference held in ! Columbia Tuesday by several ! hundred members of the mi1 nority factioji. The conference affirmed its allegiance to the Democratic party. State and National. Governor Manning was charged with being a party to the alleged stealing and buying of votes in j cm; i ccciii |ji'unary. Cole L. Blease, in a bitter address to his supporters, stated ' positively that he was not a ; candidate now nor would be at | any early date. .John F. Grace ; of Charleston also made an ! address. Plans were laid at the conference for the organization of the Blease forces throughout the State. The organization will be effected by Congressional districts. The Rural Credits Law. The rural credits la.v in brief provides: (1) That you may borrow onehalf Lhe value of your land; (2) That you may have from five to 40 years to pay back the money, paying it back as fast as . f. . . ? .yuu piccidc ctitci itvt* years9 (3) That the interest rate cannot possibly exceed 6 per cent, and almost certainly will be less; (4) That each borrower buys a $5 share in the National Farm Loan association for each $1(X) he borrows, selling this back again as soon as he pays up; (5) That all other liability is limited to live per cent of the amount a man borrows, there being no truth in the statement that he must assume general joint liability with other borrowers.
