Board Here For Two Days.
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.

which provided that (armors could

use no more home grown wheat than
would be required (or their (amilles .
(or a period of thirty days, has been !
suspended by the Food Administration
and regulations governing the grinding
ot whea thave been issued.
Under the new regulations, farmers
are permitted to draw their year's
supply ot flour from the mill or in exchange
(or their own wheat, but (or
the present they must draw only (or
a three months' period, or (rom the
time ot grinding to October 1. 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.

Mills must not grind for farmers
more than enough wheat to supply the
farmers and their families and tenants
from the date of grinding to October
1. The amount ground should be
estimated upon the basis of twelve
pounds per person per month.
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
