The business session began after luncheon with a roll call of the members which was re sponded to by 64 and the dis- ' cussions of the departmentsI DnWed of a very enlightening character from which the. dele- , gates will doubtless find much profit. Owing, to the disorganized condition of affairs it i was decided to hold no field day exercises this year. There were ] many reports of schools failing , to take up their work on time < after the Christmas holidays j owing to the very bad weather conditions and shortage of fuel. W. D. Maginnis. president of ! the association, made the final address in which he especially thanked the local Parent-Teacher < association for their entertain- 1 ment. Mills Can't "Make-Up" Time.

Nr. Haile's Home Burglarized. On returning to his home not long ago after having spent the previous day in Fort Mill, Mr. Haile found that somebody had been there during his absence and robbed him of about fifty or sixty dollars' worth of clothing, a pair of shoes and a pistol. In the woods nearby he found two regulation suits of United States infantry uniform and also a pair of hnrllv wnrn shrtoo tint nnorlu so good as the shoes that were missing from his home. It was < easy to figure out that two soldiers had taken Mr. Haile's elothes and left their own in exchange. Further investigation developed that two men, dressed in citizen's clothes, had applied at the home of a Mr. Clements at the Charlotte Brick works, and obtained a night's lodging. They said they were soldiers who had overstayed their furloughs and were going back in citizen's clothes to avoid arrest before they got back to camp. The next night two men answering the same description turned up at the home of Mr. R. M. Anderson in Bethesda township. They had about the same story. Mr. Anderson took them in with the understanding 4 1 4- 1- - _ 4 . ' 1 maw nicy were lo ue entertained for the night. The family retired at about 10 o'clock, after showing the men where they were to sleep; but they stole out some time during the night without going to bed. It was observed that one of the men was suffering frorr tight fitting shoes. Two men were arrested in Gaffney last week for robbery and it is supposed that these are the same who swapped clothes with Mr. Haile, as one of them had a pistol in his possession. While the men were at Mr. Anderson's, a member of the i family noticed that one of them had a pistol in his pocket.?Yorkville Enquirer. Oratorical Meet in April.
