The following from the Rock Hill Record will be read with nterest: July 19, 1918. Mr. C. I,. Cobb. Rock Hill, S. C. Dear Mr. Cobb: ?Referring to )ur recent correspondence relaive to the time the board of registration is to spend in Rock Hill prior to the general election this fall, I beg to say that I have taken the matter up with Governor Manning, requesting him to authorize the board to spend three extra days, making tour days in all, in the city luring the month of September. This the Governor has agreed to jo. He has also agreed to authorize the board to spend an extra day in Fort Mill and an extra day in Clover in Septernjer. I am sure we will have little f any trouble to arrange for the compensation of the board for the extra time put in at these places. I trust this arrangement will prove satisfactory to the voters jf Rock Hill, Fort Mill and Clover and allay the fear that all may not have time to register without the trouble of going to the court house. With personal regard. I am, very truly yours, W. R. Bradford. County Politics Still Cool. From reports coming in from different sections of York county it seems that little interest is being manifested in county politics, the voters being inclined to spend more thought over the State and senatorial elections. In York county this year there are to be elected four legislators, the treasurer, auditor superintendent of education. county commissioners, supervisor and township officials. With less than ten days in which to announce, it is expected there will be a number to throw their hats into the ring this week. So far two have announced for the legislature, W. R. Bradford, who has served two terms, and W. J. Cherry, who served four years ago, but who did not offer for reelection two years ago. I It is expected several others will I get into this race. Probably the next most important office, so far as interest is concerned, is that of supervisor. So far not a single candidate has announced, but it is understood that T. W. Boyd, the present supervisor, is to have opposition. The woods will be full of candidates in a few days, it is thought. Were Married Thursday. A marriage, the announcement j of which* came as a surprise; ti i " ? tv me many irienas oi tne con-1 tracting parties throughout this section, was that Thursday eve-1 ning of Miss Sadie Rodgers, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Rodgers, Sr., and Mr. Jesse L. Howie. The marriage took place at 9:30 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents on East Booth street, only a few intimate friends of the bridal couple being present. Rev. J. B. Robertson, of Pineville, was the officiating minister. Mr. Howie and bride lei t by auto immediately after the ceremony for points in North Carolina. They will make their home in Fort Mill, Mr. Howie being a suc^essfal young con-, tractor of the city. * [ ? ' I Food Administration Ordef Permits a th?

They cannot draw this (rom mills in excess ot twelve pounds of flour per person per month (or use of their households and tenants, and they should continue in respect to the use of substitutes on the present basis until such time as the general substitute program for the whole country shall be changed. This moans simply that farmers who have grown their own wheat are expected to use wheat substitutes, with wheat flour, the same as heretofore, on the fifty-fifty basis.

Until the new rules in regard to 1 wheat ftubstitutes are enacted, mills must not deliver any flour to farmers unless they sign the pledge card, agreeing to use one pound of flour substitutes for every pound of flour used. Bakers, retailers and the general public are not released from the regular program, already announced by this new regulation, which applies only to farmers who havo grown their j own wheat. jfi PATRIOTIC GIFTS VOGUE j A Present That Lasts Five Years and fl Helps Win the War. >' Washington, D.
