The attraction at the Majestic ! Theatre to-day is a five-reel play, pntitlpd "T.it-.t.lp Shops'" ThisI picture should be seen by all the little folks as it will highly please the children, as well as the grown-ups. Henry B. Walthall and Mary Charleson, two of America's foremost screen artists, play the leading roles and the story is different to any in which Mr. Walthall has appeared at The Majestic. The past week-end witnessed a shortage of sugar among the merchants which was almost a famine. The stocks of practically all the merchants was entirely sold out and those who had small stocks limited each customer to a few pounds. The situation has been somewhat relieved though the stocks are still very small. The Patriotic society of Fort Mill has been pushing the canvass for signatures to the home food administration cards during the past week. Committees were stationed in the several stores on Saturday afternoon to solicit members and were fairly successful. Combined with the work previously done and the final drive which will be completed this week, it is believed that between 80 and 90 per cent, of the families of the township l will have signed the cards. Those travelers passing through Water Oak farm, the ronntrv home of Mr. and Mrs. Osmond i Barber, during the last week were attracted by a huge pile of corn, a part of this year's crop from this farm. The pile was 66 feet long, 22 feet wide, and about 5 feet high. Some of the travelers estimated the pile as containing as much as 5000 bushels but Mr. Ben F. Patter) son says there will be about 1800 bushels from this particular lot jj|?? . ?*?????mmmmm?????

C. Tax Hits "Movies" Hard. Mr. J. Q. Wray, manager of the Star Theatre, at Yorkville, had this to say to The Enquirer about the war tax on his thektre; "The war tax puts us to where we have had to raise the price of ordinary admission to 10 and 15 cents. It is either that or quit and there is no other way for it. The tax hits us first on. the chairs. That has been from the beginning. In our nlace it amounts to $12.50 a year. Next we have to pay 4 cents each way or 8 cents on each 75 cents the express company charges us for I transportation. Then, there is / , ?; a film tasc of 15 cents ft reel* or 75 cents for each fire reels. Then, there Is a tax of 1 cent on each admlFS on of 10 cents or under, a tax ot 2 cmts on from 15 tn 90 p<?nto nnH a tor nf 9 nanfo on each admission of from 25 to 90 cents. There is no other way to get at it except by charging an admission of 10 and 15 cents for ordinary occasions?the increase to take care of other taxes along with the admission taxes." The Majestic Theatre in this city is. of course, called upon to pay the same tax that the Yorkville theatre and theatres in all What Food Sa Sign the pledge and enroll States Food Administration. i h i n ??s Eat plenty, but v-'s?ly, and without ' f'V A i-fs-m L>uy less; cook no V I \ 1 4 " or; than necessary; v? snaf ?r porV. henever p ^ssibU its2 p * ~A of beef. mutton a"d Use potatoes and o'her v Save wheal by substitu'ir o'V -r creal Hours for wh**' Save butter and 'ard.
