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, ? Columbia Record.
Community Fair Tomorrow.
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-\

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.

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.

ur Good Reasons I
Why We Sell Cheaper. I ^
We do not depend entirely on selling goods I
ing, as our Watch repairing and Optical busi- 1
ys home expenses.
We have r.o partners to divide with.
We have no store nor house rents to pay.
We do not have to make up for Lad ac- fi
so have no time prices.
; are several other reasons why we sell the I
>ods for less money, hut these are the four I
red you $5.00 to guess. Nobody guessed the I
1 most important one.
