No.112. THURSDAY. JULY 19. 1917. A one-armed man doubtless could count on his fingers the number of autos that have made stops at the several street corners since the passage of the town ordinance requiring such. The water supply of the town of Fort Mill probably would .be more free from contamination were the opening on the top of the water tank closed. We are not, however, hunting the job of closing it. It is going to be an easy matter to determine what young men are drawn for service under the military draft law. As then umbers are drawn in Washington City they are to be published in the newspapers of the country and at each precinct throughout the country the name and serial number of each man registered has been, or will be. posted in a prominent place. All one has to do, then, is to watch the numbers in f-he naners and comnare them with the posted lists and learn which young men have been called to the colors. Governor Manning appears to have openly violated the law in the appointment of Mr. F. E. Clinton as a member of the York board of registration to succeed Mr. L. G. Nunn, resigned. According to the Yorkville Enquirer the governor, in keeping with the law, asked Senator Beamguard to recommend a man for the place and the latter recommended Mr. John M. Williford. Then the governor's friends, and the senator's political enemies, around York got busy and recommended Mr. Clinton, with the result that Senator Beamguard's recommendation was ignored and j Mr. Clinton was given the job. j The job of supervisor is not one , of great honor or remuneration, j but if it is of sufficient importance to warrant the legislature in saying how appointments to the office shall be made, it does appear that the governor of the State should lay aside political preferences and make such apapointments in accordance with the law. Be Canny. bet that canning impulse. Make your hoe this summer keep your can opener busy next winter. Regrets are the only things canned in the jars you forgot to order. Can nothing that can be kept without canning. Dry such vegetables as corn, string beans, navy beans, mature Lima beans, okra, etc. You can brag about your garden all winter if you have your, canned evidence on the dinner table. Concentrate products, especially soup mixtures, so that each contairer will hold as much can 1 i I ncu iumi uuu us lime waier us possible. Really, there is nothing to canning fruits and vegetables except care, cleanliness, fresh products, jars and heat. Home canning is kitchen patriotism. Canned fruits and vegetables help fight the "blues." Let empty cans and jars wait for fruit. Don't try to make fruit wait for containers. Home preparedness - a pantry-! ful of canned food. The awful question: "What shall 1 have for dinner?" is easily answered if your shelves are i i. r P..11 j LUII ui iiuiuc-vaiiucu If you have more preserving jars than you can fill, lend them 9 Co a neighbor who will make them work for a nation. You put a lid on waste every time you seal a preserving jar. No Liquor at All. A despatch from Washington says that every form of liquor into dry territory is forbidden, whether on the person, by common carrier, by private conveyance or in baggage, according to instructions sent to United States attorneys throughout the country by the department of justice. York Coonty News Natters. (iorkville Enquirer.) The Filbert picnic on Thursday. Auerust 2. promises to es tablish a new record for picnics. The Filbert ginning company has placed orders for a complete and up-to-date plant that will make the old plant that was destroyed by fire, and a very good one it was, look crude and antiquated in comparison. There has never been more corn, beans, peas and the like raised in York county than will be raised this year. There is more acreage than there has ever been and crops generally are in better condition. Statistics obtained at the office of the county treasurer show that $327 less road tax was paid in York county for the year 1917 than there was for the year 1916. That is taken to mean that there are a number of people who paid their road tax in cash last year who will work five days on the roads instead this year. Clerk of the Court Logan has given to young William Thomasson, son of T. K. Thomasson, the blacksmith, the office of jury boy. Young Thomasson draws the jury panels from the box, gets $2 a day for his services. Under the law the jury boy must not yet have learned to read, and he is not supposed to be able to identify the names in the box. In deliberate disregard of the statute, which requires that supervisors of registration be appointed with the advice and consent of the senate, Governor Manning has selected for the vacancy caused by the resignation of Supervisor L. G. Nunn, Mr. F. E. Clinton, recommended by local referees, instead of Mr. John M. Williford, recommended by Senator J. E. Boamguard. "We are calculating on having a balloon ascension and parachute drop at the Filbert picnic, August 2," said Mr. John J. McCarter the other morning. "Such a spectacle was presented at a picnic several years ago and it proved a great drawing card. We have not definitely decided to repeat it this year but we are discussing it."

The designation of Charlotte as one of the sixteen points at which the national guard will be trained for service on the European baattlefields means that an armed city with a population two-thirds that of Charlotte will spring up just outside city almost overnight. x It has been indicated that the national guard of the New England States will be assigned to the Charlotte camp. They number about 30,000, and, of course, are still recruiting, so that the number may exceed that figure by the time the units from New England arrive there. In addition to the infantry, cavalry, ar.: 11 : : 1 it uiiery, engineering uiiu saiuuiry troops from New England, a dispatch says that there would be an aviation unit, comprising 2,500 men, with 1,200 aeroplanes. It will be an inspiring sight to North Carolinians to see such a large body of men in training for the service of their country, with cavalry and artillery at their spectacular drills, the masses of infantry marching in heavy columns or deployed in battle formation, and the aviators darting about overhead like so fnany huge birds. Was Held German Prisoner. The Yorkville Enquirer of Friday carried a very interesting story of the experience in Germany of James Moore, son of Mrs. W. T. Moore, of York, who reached his home last Wednesday morning, after having been a prisoner in the hands of the Germans in Berlin since March 3. Tall and slender, possessed of a keen appetite which was never appeased during his internment in Germany, and first hand knowledge of conditions in Germany and the war zone, young Moore has been kept quite busy relating to his friends some of his experiences. He has possession of many interesting facts that he does not feel at liberty to give out; but the story of the sinking of his vessel, the Storskog, by the German submarine U-60, on February 8, the survival of only seven of the crew of sixty-five of the Storskog, his detention on the U-boat nearly a month, and his life in Belin, sounds like the stories one might read in a dime novel. He talked quite freely Wednesday after- i noon, and during the interview . when the newspaper man asked questions that Jim didn't think he should answer, he refused to 1 4-U~4- ?ll any a wui u, tnat was an.
