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

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."

Charlotte Gets Cantonment.
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
