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.

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

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

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
