The order reducing the amount of print paper that may be used by weekly newspapers by 15 per cent has been prepared by the pulp and paper section of the war industries board, and will be effective September 15. The regulations providing for a reduction of 15 per cent for daily papers became effective on August 12, and those providing for a reduction of 20 per cent on the part of Sunday papers will become effective on September 1. Publishers of weekly newspapers must arrange for a reduction of 15 per cent in their circulation beginning with September 15, in order to meet the requirements of the war industries board. The method o! making such reductions will be largely left to each publisher, who will work out the details o1 the problem for his own paper. The above we hope will make rtlnirt f a oirow roo nf pioiu tu v?*.i j i i.t?uv.i vi a in Times the exact position ir which the publisher is placed, It is not the desire of The Times to deprive any reader of th< weekly visits of the paper, bui the law says that we must re duce our circulation by 15 pes cent, and there you are. If yoi have been paying for your papei regularly, don't worry; youi name. v\iil remain on the list, But if you are among those wh( pay only every two or thret years, vv hy, off goes your name, unless you pay up by September Ifith We have a nnmher nl people on our list who owe fron one to two years and who arc able to pay, but just neglect it, and it is hoped that this notice will serve to have them come forward or send in the amounts due before we have to mark their names off. We are nol hunting trouble with Uncle San: ? i i in inis matter. No, he will not vote in the election next Tuesday. Although he is a hard-working, honesl young farmer of the township with a fair education, nexl Tuesday he can only stand around the polls and watch his friends exercise that right which is accorded every true Democrat who complies with the rules ol the parly. Trouble is, he failed to get his name on the club roll befere that book was closed tc enrollments. Now. this particular farmer had up to a few years ago been a regular subscriber to The Times, and we had always been eager to inform him along with hundreds of others of all political matters ? enrollment, registration, elections, etc. But when he ceased to be a subscriber we had no wav to reach him and this year he heard someone say that the club roll closed the last Tuesday in July and when he presented himself a few days later was informed that the book had closed on July 23. It would be a gross insult to this man to offer him several times the price of the paper to change his vote in the least particular, yet for ' one measly dollar and twentyfive cents he would have received the paper for the year 1918 and would* not be unable on next Tuesday to exercise his right as an American citizen. Better get in line, brother. The subs of the Huns continue to try to teriorize the American people by sinking small craft off our shores, while the Americans with their allies are "giving 'em hell" over the pood. J The fai mere of this immediate se< stlon b.ave much to be thankful 1 or io the prospects they have for a good cotton crop and a fair ykald of corn and forage crops. The daily reports which are) corning in from the entire cot ton belt shows that the ftrops are considerably below the average and are daily deteriorating on account of continued /InrmorVit- T?? * in xwt, we saw a aay or two a#o where an estimate of 11,500^000 bales of cotton had been made by persons who claimed to have reports from the entire South and from what we have been able to learn, this seems to be a conservative (estimate. We hear much talk among the autoists of the fast time to be made between Catawba river and Rock Hill since the concrete road has been partially completed and opened to the public, and we are daily expecting to hear of a bier smash-im resulting: from reckless driving on this stretch of road. We suppose that a traffic law regulating the speed on the public : highways could be made as effective as the ordinances in some of our cities, and there seems to be immediate need for such a law in this county. I ?T The election for county and 1 State officers and representa' tives in Congress will occur on next Tussday, August 27th. On account of the Australian ballot system which will be in use in this State for the first time, there will be little, if any, of * the time-worn ballot marking for the less informed voter. ^ Now, here is a tip. If you have } a favorite in the race and care to 1 work in his behalf, you had ^ better get busy before the polls open. i ________ 1 Get ready to start that child 1 of yours to school. It is little more than two weeks now until s the school opens and your child should be there with the other 1 children on the opening day. Especial effort is to be made this t* coming term to have every child 1 of school age in school, and f should there be any considerable r number who do not attend the . session an effort will be made to > adopt the compulsory school law ? in this district. > In casting a vote for township f supervisor, we have always felt i that we were taking a privilege ? which rightly did not belong to , us. In other words, we don't ; believe that a citizen of a town ? has any more right to say who j the township officers shall be ; than has a resident of a rural t district to take part in naming i the municipal officers.

McElwee, food adi ministrator for York county in' forms The p.rnilirnr Ihofr ? m<i\|?4ii* vi bllOb IUL food administration has fixed the . priee of ginning at $3.50 for a I 500-pound bale, or less, and 70 ? cents a hundred for all over 500 pounds. This is exclusive of bagging and ties, which the far1 mer may furnish or not, as he 1 prefers. If the ginner furnishes the bagging and ties, he may i charge $1.50 therefor. Mr. J. F. McElwee says the sugar regulations provide tiiat 1 no omgle purchaser in town may buy mure than two pounds at a lime ai.u no country purchaser can have more than three pounds at a lime. The ration is two pounds per person per month. The retailer must not charge more than one cent a pound profit, except where the cost price f. o. b. his railroad station shows a fraction of a cent. In that case for one pound he may charge the fraction with an even cent added for one pound, but he is not expected under any circumstances to ask more than three cents profit on a two-pound sale, or four cents profit on a three-, pound sale. 3 ; r NOTICE.
