Bad News for Berlin.
The war news from the eastern
front these days is bad news for
the German people. Quotations
from German newspapers portray
the gloom that overhangs
the people in the large cities.
That the people in the small
towns and country are equally
depressed is not to be doubted.
The Liberty Loan Bond buyers
of the preceding loans have their
share in the success of the entente
allies. They furnished
sinews of war not only to fight
the U-boats and to build ships,
not only to raise, equip, and
send our soldiers over, not only
to supply them and our allies
with food% and munitions, but
more than $6,000,000,000of their
money has been loaned to our
allies so that they may prosecute
the war with vigor and strength.
We here at home have an
opportunity to send the Germans
some more bad news. The Germans
have great' respect for
money; they know its vital valut
in waging war. They know, too,
that-, thp snnnnrf Ampripnn
people give a Government loan
measures largely the support
they give their government, the
moral as well as the financial
support they give their armies
in the field.
A tremendous subscription to
the Fourth Liberty Loan will be
as distressing to the German
people as a defeat for them on
the battle field, and it will mean
as much. It spells their defeat;
it breaks their morale; it means
power to their enemies. A subscription
to the loan is a contribution
to German defeat and
American victory.
Conservation of Credit.
Not only should the goods and
labor of the Nation be conserved
for the prosecution of the war;
the creait of the Nation must be
conserved for the same purpose.
This is being impressed upon
the banks, and it should be impressed
upon the people, too?
the borrowers from banks.
All the banks of the country
are being urged by the Federal
Reserve Board to curtail their
loans. They are urged to loan
money only where the borrower
is going to use it in some way
that will aid in or contribute to
winning the war.
This policy is not aimed at
hampering legitimate business.
It aims to help win the war.
which is the best thing possible
for business. It simply means
that money wanted for? nonessential
purposes should be
refused. Let the nonessentials
wait until the war is finished.
The government needs the money
to carry on the war. The farmers,
the men and the industries
engaged in war work or engaged
in producing things needed for
the efficiency both of our soldiers
and of our home people, need
the credit to carry on their
enterprises.
Merchants should not borrow
money to stock up on luxuries or
things that the people should not
buy at this time. No one should '
borrow money now to spend
needlessly or extravagantly.
Unnecessary building, unneeded
articles, unessential enterprises
should all wait the ending of the
war.
The Federal Reserve Board
points out that in the interest of
successful government financing
it would be much better for the
banks to hold credit within
reasonable bounds by intelligent |
cooperation rather than to dis
/ - c ~v . ; %

coi rape borrowing by charging
hip h interest rates. The people
should cooperate with the government
and the banks in this
policy of conserving credit and '
curtail ing borrowing except
where the money, directly or
indirectly, helps win the war.
helps our soldiers who are risking
their lives for our country.
There are still a few Hun
lovers in this community, ac-1
cording to conversations reported i
on the streets from time to time.
Of course, those to whom they
talk are of the illiterate, or illinformed
class, and the talk of
these propagandists is couched
in such terms as to eliminate the
probability of injury should they
be brought before a court for
trial. Nothing pleases these
scoundrels more, it is said, than
to get together a number of
whites or negroes who cannot,
or do not, read and explain the
war situation as being extremely
blue for America and
her allies.
"If I had $1,000 in cash, I
would bet $999 of it that the war
would close by the first of next
July," was the remark made
Sunday by a man who is a great
reader and well posted in affairs
pertaining to the war. Of
course, he is a 100 per cent
American and knows that the
allies are going to win the
struggle, and we trust he has
not sized the matter up wrong.

York County News Matters.
Yorkville Enquirer.)
Henry B. James of Yorkville,
says he still has the bale of 1914
cotton that he bought for 10
cents v hen the market was uncer
8 cents. He mentioned the
matter incidentally a few days
"ago.
Fifty-five negroes went to
Camp Jackson from the jurisdiction
of Local Board No. 2
last Saturday morning. This is
the largest increment that has
yet gone down. It includes
many men who have heretofore
been held back until they could
work out the crops and about
cleans up all of that list.
Piedmont Springs hotel was
destroyed by fire of unknown
origin last Thursday afternoon.
The fire hrokp nut in an imrwir
room, possibly from a carelessly
thrown cigarette, and had made
such headway before it was discovered
that nothing could be
done to check the flames.
The food administration is advising
all retail dealers to at once
get to work securing their supplies
of salt for next winter. It
is explained that the outlook for
a shortage is about the same as
it was at the same time last year.
Salt refiners and packers need
lots of coal in their business,
and there is no certainty of
getting a sufficient quantity.
"There are close to 1,^00 York
county soldiers in the National
army, according to my estimate,"
said Mr. H. E. Neil of
Local Exemption Board No. 2 a
few a day8 ago. "Nearly a
thousand men have been inducted
into the service hv rh?
boards," he went on to explain,
; "and including the Rock Hill and
: Fort Mill companies I would say
that there are at least two hunjdred
volunteers."
Woman's Missionary Union.
The annual meeting of the Baptist
Woman's Missionary Union,
York association, will be held
with the First Baptist church of
Rock Hill on August 29-30. Mrs.
R. B. Monk, vice president of
the northern division of the (
northern division of the State,
from Campobello, and Mrs Edwin
Carpenter, of Charleston,
superintendent of Royal Ambassador
work in the State, will be
the honor guests.
A full delegation from each of
the churches in the York dis- j
trict is expected.
The first bale of new crop cotton
for York county was sold in
Rock Hill yesterday by Claude [
Ratterre, the price being 35 cts.

Graded School Notes.
The Fort Mill school will open
next Monday, September 2. The
teache-s meet on Saturday at
9 a. m.
We wish to bespeak the cooperation
of all the parents in
ail our school activities for this
year. We must have your
wwycruium anu iorDearance m
all that we undertake if good
results are expected to follow
our earnest efforts to give your
children the best within our
power.
We are aware of the fact that
under present conditions of
world war many people are
thinking of keeping their children
out of school, but we trust
that no one in our town will remain
out for this or any other
cause. The school children must
not lose one day. The children
of this town can not afford to be
less prepared than those of any
other community for the inevitable
struggles of life. I
truly believe that we cannot be
the nation that Divine Providence
expects us to be unless we
are an educated people. Just as
surely as our men are fighting
to make the world safe for
democracy, just so surely must
we be and become an educated
people, if we expect to keep the j

great men of our nation. President
Wilson, General Wood,
Secretary Baker, Commissioner
Claxton, and a host of others,
who have far-seeing eyes, urge
us to keep up the good work of
educating our children. It is
time that we heed and give them
all that loving sacrifice can
afford. Brains will rule the
world, it matters not what color
of skin hides the gray matter
within.
The teachers for this year are:
W. H. Ward, mathematics. The
teacher of history has not yet
been secured. Miss Lana Parks,
of Fort Mill, will have English;
Miss Annie Lee Adams, of
Clover, Latin and science. This
constitutes the teaching force
of the junior and senior high
school, comprising the sixth,
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
grades.
1 he fifth grade. Miss Willis, j
of York; fourth &rade, Miss Mary
Goodwin, of Fort Mill; third!
grade. Miss Esther Meacham,
Fort N ill; second grade. Miss
Frances Smith, Fort Mill; first
grade, Miss Minnie Garrison and
Miss Agnes Link,4 both of Fort '
Mill. Mrs. Everard Ardrey has
been elected as teacher of music.
It is urged that all who wish
to take music see the teacher,
Mrs. Ardrey, or the superintendent
at once, as the class must
be limited in number and, unless
you get in at the start, you may
not get the opportunity. The
class must not be too large.
I speak for the teachers when
I say that we are here to serve
the educational interests of the
community. Let us know how
we may serve you; bring your
requests and questions to us.
We shall endeavor to maintain
the present high standard of
your school and strive to make
it worthy of your interest and
hearty support.
