An intermission of thirty
minutes followed during which
the local Parent-Teacher association
served a delightful .
luncheon to the delegates and a
number of friends.
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.
The following order has been
issued by B. E. Greer, deputy
fuel commissioner for South
Carolina. "No mill will be permitted
to run more hours than
usual on the days, Tuesdavs to
Saturdays, inclusive. This means j

time will be permitted during <
the period covered by the order i
to run only 50 hours. Mills run- J
ning at night will be allowed to ]
run the usual hours for four j
nights only. Mills that ob- |
served the Garfield order and
were closed down on Monday
and Tuesday of this week, will
be permitted to run during this
week in the day time a total of
40 hours; mills running ;at night
for three nights only usual
hours."
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

Oratorical Meet in April.

Hill Saturday morning, plans

of the Catawba' Oratorical and

the high schools in York,
Lancaster, Chester and Fairfield
counties, and every superintendent
was present, except the Lancaster
superintendent, who was
represented by proxy.
