A trip to Washington now-adays
is a pleasure only to the
millionaire. He can afford a
hall bedroom, but the ordinary
citizen is lucky if he can get a
bathtub or a barber chair to
sleep in.
Switzerland reports that her (
neutrality has been violated 586
times since the war began.
Which is patience and then
some, the good Book itself only
enjoining the practice of that
virtue "seventy times seven"
times.
The requests that we conserve
both wool and leather are
puzzling to the feminine half of
the population. Should skirts I
be shorter and shoes higher? Or
should shoes be shorter and
skirts longer? What would the
people who are concerned with
morals say if the shoes were
lower and skirts shorter?
Pineville Banker Penalized.
A voluntary contribution of
$200 to the Pineville chapter of
i. the Red Cross society will save
J. E. M. Davenport, a bankerof
that prosperous town, from indictment
and prosecution from

News. Mr. Davenport has sent,
the food administration receipt
from the Red Cross society lor
the $200.
It was shown at a recent hearing
before George H. Humber
of the food administration staff,
and County Food Administrator
Plummer Stewart at Charlotte,
that Mr. Davenport had purchased
in December 2,000 pounds :

'Supervisor Boyd said Wedneethat
ho expected to begin
work on the concrete road between
Rock Hill and the Catawba
river bridge next week. Already
quite a large quantity of
rock has been crushed, and other
materials have been collected.
Most of the work is to be done
by the chaingang which is now
about the only labor available.
The Southern Railway's new
steel bridge across the Catawba
river below Catawba Junction, is
nearing completion, and it looks
now as if the bridge will be
ready for use about the middle
of June. The new bridge is to
take the place of the temporary
structure that has been in use
since the destruction of the old
bridge by the July, 1916, flood.
Mr. J. S. Mackorell has received
acknowledgment of the
relief fund that was contributed
by the people of Yorkville not
long ago for the relief fund of
destitute Armenians and Syrians.
The fund amounted to $120.
Mr. W. N. Jackson, of Clover,
has about decided to build a potato
house that will be capable
of taking care of several thousand
bushels of potatoes. Several
of his neighbors have agreed to
raise more potatoes than usual
this year, and although Mr. Jackson
does not consider that he
has quite enough potatoes under
promise to fill the proposed house
he probably will go ahead with
the undertaking.
About a hundred No. 1 men
will be called out by local board
No. 2, to supply the call for some
thirty-three or more to leave
iuring the week beginning May
25. It is the purpose of the
board to take all who may volunteer
up to the required number,
if there are so many volunteers.
Should it happen that there are
not sufficient volunteers to fill
I he quota, the board will take
th?* men according to order numbers
with the exception of such
as may be entitled to deterrence
on account of agricultural activity.
The distance between Detroit,
Michigan, and Yorkville, South
Carolina, is a little over thirteen
hundred miles. This is according
to Mr. S. L. Courteney, of
the York Motor Car Co., who,
with a party of friends, last
week brought through a dozen
c u s from Detroit and Cincincinnati.
They went after the cars
by rail and brought them back
over the highway. The entire
trip took just ten days, not quite
four days going and a little over
f >ur days coming back.
The new election law calls for
M ~ 1 i ! I 1 L 1* 1 1 AA
an election uooui tor eacn iuu
voters in incorporated towns.
That will mean that there will
have "to be ten or more booths at
Rock Hill, six or more at Yorkville,
five or more at Fort Mill,
five or mote at Clover, one or
more at McConnellsville,, two or
three or more at Hickory Grove,
two or more at Filbert, o ie or
more at Smyrna. The Australian
ballot law is to be used and every
voter is to have the opportunity
of casting his ballot absolutely
without interference.
Our Boys "Over There."
Governor Manning has received
a card from Col. P. K.
McCully, commander of the 118th I
infantry, formerly the First
South Carolina infantry before
thp National Armv war
alized, notifying him that Col.
McCully had arrived safely overseas.
This indicates that the
that the First regiment has now
joined the expeditiony forces under
General Pershing.
The First South Carolina regiment
was mobilized after the
war and placed on duty guarding
ralway bridges throughout
the State. During last summer
the regiment was transferred
to Camp Sevier, Greenville, becoming
a part of the Thirtieth
division, federalized National
Guard. Since that time the j
men have been trained at the,
Greenville camp for overseas
duty. The old regiment was
idled out to the new regulation
by those who were inducted
into the national army at Camp
Jackson from the first draft.
All forms and instructions are !
in the hands of district board
No. 1, in connection with the
registration of men who have become
21 since June 5, 1917.
The registrars are to be appointed
Saturday. There will be two
places of registration in this district.
Fort Mill and Rock Hill.
It is estimated that about 10 per
cent as many as registered on
June 5. 1917, will qualify under
the new law.

Columbia.?From time to time !
the Food Administration has giv- .
en the people of this State var- '
ious rules and regulations issued 1
by the authorities in Washington. 1
Just at this moment the chief
drive is to conserve wheat. The i
authorities in Washington are
trying to make a voluntary sav- ]
ing, but if the American people <
do not respond, more drastic
measures may have to be taken.
The Food Administration has
worked out the best plan after
careful study and closdly watch- '
in? results, and have notified the
food administrators throughout
the country that they are re- ]
quired to enforce as best they 1
can the following rules: i
"First, householders to use not j
to exceed a total of one and one- (
half pounds per week of wheat (
products per person. This means j
not more than one and three- ,
fourths pounds of Victory Bread,
containing the required percent- '
age of substitutes, and about J
one-half pound cooking flour, <
macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, i
cakes, wheat, breakfast cereals I
all combined.
"Second, public eating places <
and clubs to observe two wheat- !
less days per week, Monday and j
Wednesday, as at present. In ,
addition thereto not to serve to ,
any one guest at any one meal
an aggregate of breadstuffs, .
macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies,
cakes, wheat breakfast cereals
containing a total of more than
two ounces of wheat flour. No
wheat products to be served un- ;
less especially ordered. Public
eating establishments not to buy
more than six pounds of wheat ,
products for each ninety meals i
served, thus conforming with ;
limitations requested of the
householders."
(<rrL 1 i-?1 i - n a a
j mm, retauers to sen nor
more than one-eighth of a bar- '
Tel of flour to any town customer
at any one time and not more
than one quarter of a barrel to 1
any country customer at any one
time, and in no case to sell wheat
products without the same of an <
equal weight of other cereals.
"Fourth, we ask the bakers |
and grocers to reduce the volume
of Victory Bread sold, by delivery
of the three-quarter pound
loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
in other weights. We
also ask bakers not to increase
the amount of their wheat flour
purchases beyond sevent per cent
of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months
prior to March first.
"Fifth, manufacturers using
wheat, nroducta for non-fnort
purnoses should cease such use
entirely.
"Sixth, there is no limit upon
the use of other cereals, flours,
and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat,
potato flour, etc."
FOR A FULL FOOD ACREAGE
Columbia. ? Mr. David R.
Coker, chairman of the South
Carolina Council of Denfense, in
his appeal to this State, states
the importance of raising more
foodstuff. Mr. Coker himself is
a most splendid farmer and is in
close touch with the national situation.
and what he has to say is
of the most importance. In his
apDeal he says:
"The food situation is increasingly
serious. High cotton must
not prevent a full food acreage.
Many farmers do not intend to
plant sufficient foodstuffs. These
must be reached in these few
days remaining: before planting
is completed."

some buttermilk and run along
and show their faith by their
work and remember that this is
no fried chicken affair.
The prospect for a wheat crop
has been blighted by the presence
of rust on it.
While riding around the past
week we called on our old friend,
W. E. KimbrelL While there
his wife showed us the finest! I
flock of chickens we have seen I
this season, a lot of them good
ripe. But there is one bird in
this flock that deserves special
mention. It was hatched out
some three years ago and laid
eggs and hatched several broods
of chickens. But the past year
it has donned the garb of a
rooster by growing out long neck
and tail feathers. A lady who
had seen this chicken before we
did said to us, "Uncle I believe
it is ashamed." Well, it didn't
blush any in my presence, but
just went strutting off like any
other barnyard rooster would do.
Now if this chicken is not a
monstrosity, a henosity, a rooster
osity, or an itosity. why then is
this not an oddosity.
