Farmers Called to Service. i

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 ]

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.

as to the attitude of the government
in regard to Christmas

Fort Mill "Over the Top." 1
A meeting ot the committees 1
who have had charge of the war (

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

Thursday night of more than
$i^),000 when complete returns j
are made. 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

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. F
There is a registration fee of one ti
dollar to be paid to the clerk. t<

severe penalties. The law went H
