Senator and Mrs. Christie Bennett reached Columbia Tuesday from Washington and, upon being interviewed by a reporter for The State, Senator Bennett said that he has been making strenuous effort to procure the casualty lists from the Thirtieth Division, fhis division has been fighting with the British troops in Flanders and the casualties were first reported to the British army headquarters, with which the division is merged. The lists were then telegraphed to General Pershing, but the names were so garbled in transmission that General Pershing refused to accept them, which caused the transfer by courier. The rechecking was thus much delayed. Senator Benet, however, was assured that the lists would be procured with utmost dispatch. This division is comh prised of former National Guard s units from North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee and was trained at Camp Sevier, Greenville, before the Eighty-first Division was transferred from Camp Jackson. Thus thousands of people in this section of the country are vitally concerned in the publication of the lists. Effort was also made by Senator Benet to procure a complete li'<t of the casualties fiom this Stale in both the army and navy during the war. Beceus of the shortage of clerical help and the great length of the list of casualties in the army the list for the armv could not be supplied, but Senator Benet has been assured that he will receive the navy list complete within a few weeks. Property and Taxes. The aggregate value of the taxable property of York county, as assessed for the year 1918, is $11,010 810, as compared with $9,615,238 for the year 1917, an increase of SI.495.572. The total tax levy last year amounted to $278,988.56, and this year it amounts to $322,710.52. an increase of $43,721.96. This is according to the ab8 ract of duplicate just completed by Auditor Love and receipted lor by Treasurer Neil. As usual, the abstract is late this year. It ought to have been completed before October 15. but the delay is through no fault of the auditor. It has been occasioned by the efforts of the county board of equalization to what it thought was an equitrble valuation of York coi nt farm lands. The largest single item of property increase was in the va ue ot or' these lands, which last year showed up an aggregate of $2,275.545, without counting the buildings, and which this year, still exclusive of the buildings, have mounted up to $3,343,190? an increase of $1,067,645. This means that of a total increase of $1,495,752, all but $428,107 is to be credited to the I arm acreage. No Moro Draft Calls. a i z a ^ a l : x ACCoruinK w n waHiungion despatch, President Wilson has authorized Provost Marshal General Crowder to notify all draft boards that the calls now outstanding for miliiary service will he cancelled, pending further instructions.

A. campaign was held Sand AY afternhnn in A? | Masonic hall and was attended by about fifty representative* citizens, men and women^f the town. Mr. J. E. Gettys, of Rock Hill, presided and gave much interesting data regarding the purposes of the campaign and> introduced Dr. D. B. Johnson, president of Winthrop college, who is district chairman for the counties' of York, Chester, and Lancaster. The address of Dr. Johnson was enlightening as regards the needs of this fund and his exposition of the matters connected with the work of the Y. M. C. A. served as an inspiration to his hearers to do their full duty in the coming campaign. Mr. W. L. Hughes, secretary of the Community Y. M. C. A. was also present and addressed the audience. The work of canvassing for subscriptions began here Wednesday and continue through next Monday and it is expected that the school district chairman will begin their work about the same time. The pl edges may be paid in three installments, 50 per cent, on December 2, 25 per cent, on January 15, and 25 per cent, on U ?I- 1 L-. ' marcii r,, out u is me earnest i appeal of the headquarters committee that the campaign be on a cash basis as far as possible. Farmers Prop ire for 1919. The farm activities during the present month will determine largely whether this State is going to feed herself during 1919. The State agricultural organizations are urging an increase of 15 per cent, in wheat acreage, qf 10 per cent, in oat acreage and of 10 per cent, increase in pork production. This means practically two acres of wheat, four acres of oats and a brood sow for every plow in the State. November is the best month for seeding wheat and the last month during which oats may be safely seeded. The brood sows selected and kept out of the fattening pen during this month, will determine next year's pork production. The declaration of peace does not remove the necessity of tlu incr. ase.s called for. The normal forces of agricultural nrn duciion c annot be put into notion quickly after the declaration of peace. It will be several year, be-ore there can possibly be art over production of food crops. J as. A. Barber Injured. James A.

The original plan contemplated the opening of the Home Card oampalgs on October 17. The new cone emit ion plan, fully set Aorth on the new Home Card, Is eon sttered vital by the Food Admlnistratk>n. It will outline the oonservatlJb program to which the American people will be pledged probably for the yemainder of the war and possibly for a period alter peace haa been declared, elared. The Food Administration will make ne effort to reduplclate the pledges ot more than 12.?01,000 American house wives who last year signified theli willingness to cooperate in the conservation of food. It isexpected thai the housewife will hang the new Home Card at a convenient place In hee kitchen and operate her home according to the program to help supply the sinews of war te the Alliss and the American armed forces, as she h&i done heretofore. There will be no "Wheatleas" noi "Meatless" days provided for on the new Home Card, but the most car* | ful saving in all edibles, particularly | in the ceneervation of wheat, meat fata and sugar will be urged. The significant fact behiad the nee Home Card Is the absolute and vital necessity of the United Stats sendlna five and three-quarter millions of tons more foodstuffs to the Allies this yeai than last, with an almost staggering total of seventeen and a half mlllioa toes for the coming year, which will awaken the supervisor of the famll) market-basket to the urermt of maintaining a patriotic watchful nans over the spread of her individual table.
