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

ding to the official announcement.
Development of the American
navy will proceed, despite the

States will bear a heavy share
of the work of policing the
world in the future, and must
be developed accordingly. i

the Y. M. C. 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

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.

NEW HOME CARD COMINQ
THE FIRST OF DECEMBER
Columbia.?'Distribution et the Ban
Borne Card, which the Pood Administration
will put into X0.009.t00 American
kitchens, has been postponed on
account'of the epidemic of Spanish In
uufDii, tmt me HOM card win KM
make tt j appearance until December 1.
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.
