his position with A. O. Jones to <
accept a situation with the k

will be located at their plant on }
Catawba rivef near here. f
Mr. R. F. Grier has been ap- i
pointed food administrator for i
Fort Mill school district, No. 28, j
and anyone not familiar with t
the recent rulinc of the food t
administration can learn what 1
they wish to know by calling on i
Mr. Grier. <
Today is Paramount day at
the Majestic Theatre, the offer- i
ing being Geo. Beban, the noted j
Irish screen artist, in "The Cook i

pleased with this production. t

According to close observers,
Monday was the first day on
which the sun has shone for .
more than a few minutes jn
more than a week. Last week '
was one of the most disagreeable 1
weeks that this section has ex- '
perienced in many years. i
From the citv treasurer's re- '
port it appears that the dog *
population of Fort Mill has been 1
considerably reduced from pre- (
vious years, only $8.00 revenue <
being received from this source. <
Since the ordinances provide a '
tax of $1.00 for each male and ]
$2 00 for each female, it would |
appear that not more than eight ,
dogs have made their habitat
within the confines of the city |
limits during the past year.
All the business houses of Fort
Mill were again closed Monday, i
in obedience to the administra- 1
tion's order for a heatless Monday.
The two local cotton mills
operated their plants, with the
exception pf the' dyeing and
finishing plants, however, it (
being claimed that no more fuel
was necessary for other depart- i
ments in operation than to allow '
them to stand. The mills here use 1
hydro-electric power through
out.
A change in the mail service
and one for which no one here '
has yet been able to find a cause, '
was made on Tuesday, when the
evening northbound mail car "
was transferred from train '
No. 32 to train No. 28. Hereto- 1
fore this mail reached Fort Mill
^ at 6:40 p. m., but under the new
arrangement it arrives at 7 40,
one hour later', and some time 1
after the genera) delivery win- 1
dow at the local postoffice has {
closed for the day. |
According to a ruling the last
week of the national food ad-1
ministration dealers can not sell I
flour in any quantity without i
selling an equal number of pounds
of cereals. Our merchants are
complying strictly with this
ruling and. although quite a
number of customers have
registered kicks against it, most
people realize that Uncle Sam is
doing only those things which j
are necessary to promote the
war and are readily buying
equal parts of corn meal or other
cereals with their flour.

only one will be visible in the
United States, that of the sun
which will be totally eclipsed on

The Roads.
Not in many years have the
roads of York county been in so
pad a condition as they are at
present. It is out of the que s.ion
to traverse them in autonomies
and in many p laces they
ire practically impassable to
auggies and wagons. J itney
service has been suspended between
York and Rock Hill,
iespite the fact that these places
ire connected by expensively
constructed sand-clay highways.
The new road between York and
Rock Hill, the most traveled
highway in this county, which
was completed about one year
ago, is so oaaiy cut to pieces
that many persons . have lost
faith in the ability of a sand-clay
road to stand heavy traffic during
the winter season. The
situation arising from the horrible
condition of the roads is
further complicated by the arrival
of fertilizers, shipments of
which are being received almost
daily a# all the railroad stations
in the county. Farmers are experiencing
great difficulty in
hauling their guano home, a few
3acks constituting a heavy load.
Clerk's Sale.
The only auction sale bv the
clerk of the court yesterday, included
the property advertised
the case of the American Trust
company vs. the Charlotte Brick
company, S. S. McNinch and
others, all of it being in Fort
Mill township.
The advertised property was
sold in seven lots, for an aggregate
of $17,500, and all of it
save that included in the L. M.
Dinkins home place, was bought
by the American Trust company.
The L, M. Dinkins home place
was bought by Dunlap & Dunlap
for $2,000.
Tnere was no competitive bid-1
ding except in the case of a
tract of 1591-2 acres of land in
Fort Mill township, included in
the property of S. S. McNinch.
This was started at $2,000, and

The probability is that York
county will ask for about 2,000
tons of nitrate of soda. Reports
from the eastern side of the
county were to the effect that
the banks over that way had
orders for approximately 1,015
tons, and Mr. John K. Blair,
estimated that the orders on the
western side certainly aggregated
not less than 800 tons,
and probably they would amount
to a thousand tons. Two ihous- '
and tons of-nitrate of soda wou.d
call for pretty close to $156,000.
Roy Bunter, a private in tl e

while passing through Chester

as good attention as was possible
under the circumstances, but
failed to rally, and died as
stated.
