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.

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. The mer- !
chant must not sell in excess of .
said amounts tn surh nprsons. I I
An equal amount of prescribed j
substitutes must go with each ,
purchase. j
Fort Mill Pastor Called to Virginia.
Rev. 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 ;

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.
