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.

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.

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

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. We

i Asked yesterday as to the
number of registrants sent to
camp by Local Board No. 2,
[ Chairman Brice said that up to
last Saturday the number was
' 586, of which 243 were white
I and 243 were colored. Since
? then one more white registrant
has been sent up and that makes
- the whites outnumber the blacks
. by a single soldier.

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.
