JULY. 4. 1918. * L Farmers Called to Service. i i Some time ago the war de- j j partmer.t issued orders to the j c avamntinn Knavda not In inHlint l?A^UI|/blVII WV/W4 UU IBVV vv aaaviv?-wv ^ farmers into the military ser- j vice until further orders. On account of the very serious recent developments in the military situation, however, it has been found necessary to suspend this order. As an instance of: the large number of men this order will affect, it is cited that in the recent call 54 men were summoned from Darlingtan county and of this number all were farmers except 8. The 46 farmers will have to leave their work at once and enter the service of their county. Of course, the government well ] nnHorsfunHd thp hnrHahin whioh this will mean to many of these men, but the military necessi ties are so great that nothing , else can now be taken intb consideration. The people at home, however, ought to see to it that j1 the crops of the drafted farmers are not lost for lack of work, j Patriotic citizens living in the; neighborhood of any farm whose manager or chief laborer is \ taken, should see that labor is ' proviaed to work the crop. m No Chri8tmi8 Gifts! i Following is a reproduction of J the notice sent out to the various I State councils by the National 11 Council in Washington: I' "The Council of National De- I 1 fon/1 1 A f 1 iciioc aiiu luv nu v ioui j war mission have received inquiries as to the attitude of the government in regard to Christmas buying. Manufacturers and merchants are desirous to be advised at this time in order intelligently to plan for their Christmas stocks. Therefore, the council and advisory commission now announce that it is ; their belief that Christmas giving which involves the purchase ot gifts should he discouraged; as relieving to that extent the present heavy burden placed upon labor, transportation and other resources of the nation, j and also being in harmony with the previous announcement ol the council and advisory commission urging thrift and economy upon the country." Fort Mill "Over the Top." 1 A meeting ot the committees 1 who have had charge of the war ( savings stamp drive in Fort Mill > was held Thursday evening and j reports showing that pledges to the amount of $55,270 had been received, was made to L. A. > Harris, chairman in charge of '< the district. The allotment for I the district was $50,000. The 1 reports presented were not com- s plete as some of the solicitors ^ w<ire not present and Mr. Harris Stated that he felt sure of a min- j irrjum of $60,000.

Mr. Harris expressed u hipiself as very much gratified c at the liberal response which has t put Fort Mill over the top. v An act of the last general as-1? sembly which doubtless has j a been overlooked by many is one 1 requiring that the owner or owners of all business enterprises in the State register with s the clerk of the court the names c * of the concerns under which r thqy are doing business, and v their own names. This applies o to Mercantile establishments, F repair shops, barber shops, and tl everything of that description.

Many of the payments came in by mail and it is not practicable to give the figures by townships uutil later. H* re is a telegram that was received in Rock Hill last Thursiay. It deals with a matter lbout which The Enqtyrer has >een no previous reference in iny of the oapers: "The government has fixed the price of finning at thirty cents per lundred pounds picked dry seed :otton; forty cents per hundred pounds snapped or pulled cotton; ifty cents per hundred pounds 'or premature unopened boiled rotton; prices long staple, sea sland and cotton requiring special attention not fixed, but nust be charged extra for fair proportion to foregoing prices.
