C.. as Mall matter of the eecond class. ?~ tHURSDAY. AUG. 15. 1918. A negr;o woman moved into a white neighborhood in Philadelphia precipitating a riot which resulted in three deaths and sixty casualties. Philadelphia newspapers have been more or less outspoken heretofore concerning the. "odious segregation" ordinances of some of the Southern cities. If there is anything in that story that the Sultan has "broke" with the Kaiser, we suggest that, after the war we sentence our most notorious prisoner to Turkey, with an intimation that it would be nice to see relations severed between his head and shoulder^. Word comes that the ex-Czar had to be propped against a post before he could be shot. If it . had .be. -n the Kaiser or one ol his sono the chances are the victim would have found a way to dodge behind the post. Wo doubt the King ot Kngland is glad to know that the Irish home rulers have dropped the slogan "Let George do it," foi the latest and most popular waii of trouble makers, "Let Woodrow do it." Our notion of an ideal husband is the one who can go aheau paying his ipife her weekly allowance without ever regarding it as voluntary alimony. The French have developed a machine that can travel with reasonable safety and Qiake a sustained flight of many hours at the iate of ninety-odd miles an hour. The people of Germany have about lost hope that Crown Prince Willie will throw away his powder puff and put on a gas mask. The burning of villages may be accepted as an indication that the Hun entertains no expectations of being back that way again. The News of Gold Hill. Miss Margaret Drakeford has returned tp her home in York, after spending the week with Miss Frances Blankenship. Miss Stella Patterson is spending several days with Misses Johrt and Winnie Crook, of this community, before returning to her home near Rock Hill. The MisSeS Crook were hostess to a lawn party Friday night given in honor of their guest. Mioses Mason Blankenship and Willie Gallman, of Union. S. C., I ** I * a /-? n __ _ i* _ I _ ana mrs. u. u. Eipps, or uarungton, ,S. C.t are visiting relatives and friends in Gold Hill. M*. Brice Windle and Mr. Robert .Carpenter have about, if not entirely, "wound up" their round of t!hrefching for the present season. Somewhat of an innovation in the way of a tractor was used this 'year, entirely eliminating the use of mules in moving from place to place. ^he annual Flint Hill protracted meeting began last Sunday and will continue all week, the services beginning at 11 a m. and 9 p. m. The pastor has with Sis brother in the flesh. Brother iufus Smith. The Court of God is daily packed, attesting the tyOVtrer of the great man of God. Mrs, Lily Anderson, of Orlando, Fla., is visiting her lather, Mr. S. C. Faris of this section. 't , '* Hyperion. 1 Miss Zoe White has returned from a trip of two weeks spent in Wright3ville Beach and South York Couty Newt flatters. i 11 orkville Enquirer.) ' Superintendent I. P. Boyd of the county home, and one of the most successful sweet potato raisers of this' section, has about an acre, and a half of Porto Rico and Nancy Hall sweet potatoes this year. He is thinking of building a small potato house for the purpose of taking care of the crop during the winter. The name of .Tames Cansler of Tirzah, was among those stricken from the roll of Yorkville club Na 2. Mr. Cansler's name was i entered on telephonic instructions from h:m; but under the rules, the ext cutive committee thought ' the name should be transferred back to Tirzah; that is, after the presiding judge should advise I that the name should go back on t the club roll. Deputy Sheriff Quinn, who | took those two Hardin deserters to Columbia, says that the authorities at Camp Jackson were very much astonished at tne story he told them; but so far as the military police, to whom he delivered the deserters were concerned, they could not give him any information, as the records of the deserters are now supposed to be with the command to which they originally belonged. G. W. S. Hart, United States commissioner, has released John F. Latham, Samuel Camp and William P. Finley, who were some time ago arrested in Rock Hill on the charge of violation nf f ho ITr rlora 1 li/ninr lauru Tho vrx i>iiv a vuvi ut iiv4uvi iuvyo. x uv commissioner decided that the evidence submitted against these men was not sufficient to make a presumptive case of guilt. It is a fact noted by the officers that moonshine distillers do not make it a business to sell their liquor at the place of manufacture any more. The custom nowadays is to carry away their whiskey as fast as they can make it. and some ol the distillers do not commence selling until after they have enI lirely finished making. But even at this, it is hard to hide. The people who buy and drink will talk, and talk eventually leads k.o discovery. Cuts Off Fireworks. Every municipality in South Carolina is urged by the State Council of Defense to cooperate vith tne organization by the idoption of an ordinance which will forbid the use of fireworks luring the period of the war. A resolution calling upon tht municipalities of the State for I siif?h si.'liim w:?s: uHnnfprl at- tliu 'ast bi-monthly meeting: of the Defense Council at the request of William Banks, State Inspector of Explosives. It is felt that, w hile fireworks are used only during the Christmas holidays, as a rule, the present is ! the time to take action for the reason that merchants usually make their purchases of fireworks at this period of the year for the holiday trade. Dealers in fireworks should take warning: and act accordingly, as it is regarded as very likely that the sale of fireworks will not be permitted because of the waste of both money and powder, bqth of which are needed to help in the winning of the war, and the danger to person and property incident to the use of fireworks. Got Blockade Still. Sheriff F. E. Quinn captured a blockade still in the King's Mountain battleground section Wednesday afternoon. The sheriff's party consisted of Deputy Sheriff Quinn, Magis; trate A. J. Quinn of Clover, Policeman J. A. Jackson, and Constables W. S. Peters and George Sparrow. The still was found at the foot of Tory hill about three miles southeast of the battleground. It whs a first-class copper affair , of about 50 gallons capacity. The officers cut it to pieces. The only person found on the premises was a negro named Dob Davis. He was arrested anu oiougut to jail. There was quite a quantity of mash in the beer stands, and this was ail destroyed. Only a small amount of whiskey was taken.? ! The Enquirer. Mi3s Isabel Grier spent the past week end visiting relatives in and near Charlotte. Divine services will be conducted next Sunday morning in the Presbyrerian church by the Rev. Wade H. Boggs, pastor of the First Presbyterian church ot Skmwaee, QkJa. I NOTICE.
