Judging from the amount of fertilizer being hauled away from the local platform this spring, the farmers of this section are counting on either making an enormous crop or receiving a big price for what crop they make. It is to be hoped that the price of cotton, the staple crop, will be such next fall that the farmers will not find themselves with heavy fertilizer bills and nothing with whicn to pay them. R. L.

Tho offering: at The Majestic j today is "Soul's Adrift," a fivepart picture produced on an island in the West Indies. It not only tells a roost intensely fascinating: story, but has a number of remarkably interesting outdoor scenes. It is an altogether different sort of story with Ethel Clayton in a barefooted, likable role. Picture patrons will like this. The ruling on flour as it now stands is that no individual living in town must buy over 24 pounds of flour at one time, and no individual living out of town j must buy more than 48 pounds ; bf flour at one time.

R. K. Timmons, for the I past two years pastor of the Fort Mill Presbyterian church, has received a unanimous call from the First Presbyterian church of Covington, Va.. to serve as its pastor. The Covington church has a membership of about 500 and. the call includes a very material increase over the salary paid by the local church. Several members of the Covington church visited Fort Mill about ten days ago, remaining here two 'days and attending two services in the local church at which Mr. Timmons preached. Mr. Timmons has made no decision in the matter but has it under consideration. The work accomplished hy J Mr. Timmons here during the past two years is generally most gratifying to his congregation, the material growth in member- ' ship and in contribution to the causes of the church being the largest in the history of the < church. In a recent canvass for I subscriptions for the coming year, an amount was pledged about two and one-half times as large as that of two vears ago. Both as a pastor and as a peacher Mr. Timmons is held in the high- * est esteem and affection by his congregation who will deplore his loss should he decide to ac cept the call. "Betsy Ross" Tomorrow. Everybody in Fort Mill and r vicinity should be eager to assist i the ladies of the local Red Cross * society in the work they have in i hand for the comfort of the soldier boys now in camp and at i the front. The management of r the Majestic Theatre has agreed f to give one-half of the receipts i from tomorrow's (Friday's) c show to the Red Cross ladies and t it is the hope of the society that; t the attendance will be large. t The picture for tomorrow is t "Betsy Ross," who we all know : as the woman who designed and s made the first American flag, i t This is one of the greatest his-j i torical oictures which has been s shown at The Majestic, and it is ] a picture that all the people, and i especially the little ones, should j I see. Among the many interest- j i ing scenes is that of George < Washington at the head of his i staff; Betsy Ross making the c a. A ; n 1 urst ttinerican nag, ana tne last s minute rescue of a patriot from [ 1 the enemy's firing squad. It is ' ' a picture, with Alice Brady in 1 the leading role, in which school i children, school seachers, and all patriots should be vitally in- : terested. Furnishes Free Plowing. 1 In order that the employees of ; the Fort Mill Manufacturing 1 company may have the advan- ' tage of home gardens and thus 1 reduce living expenses to a large ; extent through the greater part of the year, the management is !( giving every aid and encouragement. The fact that necessary plowing has heretofore been hard to secure, owing to the lack of common labor, has prevented the general cultivation of home gardens in the mill villages, but arrangements have been made to have all the necessary plowing done when wanted and at the , expense of the mills and. in con sequence the production of food- j< stuffs from this quarter will be ( much larger than heretofore, j The mill management is also supplying free of cost such fertilizers as will serve to in- , crease the production and quality nf fhp vocrotohlao * WAvvmvivo ^P/WII There has ' been a great improvement in the physical condition of the mill villages here, better houses, better streets, better water supply, and better sanitation, and a spirit of cooperation is more clearly shown among the employees, the em- j ployers and the business men* and others of the towa ; ' M i I Can You What Yoi Many yeople have ti (curing staple goods, v ing trouble, too, and I disappointed in soin making constant effo I the best service pos tions at the present good stock on the foil Bleach Sheetirfg, 10c to q Unbleach Sheeting:. 15c and.

I The history of the developnent of our knowledge of the nfluence of mouth conditions on general health may be divided nto three stages: First is the mechanical stage vhich considers the mouth as a nechanical apparatus. Without rood teeth we cannot have good nastication; without good mastication we cannot have good direstion; without good digestion here cannot be good assimilaion and nutrition and without hese good health is impossible. The second is the bacterial stage. A mouth full of decaying ceeth is not a mechanical appa- j ratus but a bacterial incubator, ind is a predisposing cause to practically all infectious diseases including pneumonia, diptheria, tuberculosis,, tonsilitis, measles, and many other bacterial diseas- ? ps the germs of which may live t n the mouth. The third is the infectious stage. This is a new and important discovery. It teaches that some of the living bacteria from the pus in the tonsils at the apex of a tooth, or in a pyorhea pocket may enter the blood stream and be carried to a joint, the heart or some other remote part of the body and there set ? up disorders such as arthritis, some forms of heart trouble. , nerve disorders and stomach disturbances. The x-ray has shown in searching for a local focus of infection that it is found in the jaws oftener than any other part of the body. Dr. A. L. OTT, Dentist, Belk Building, Fort Mill, S. C.
