The drive for funds for Armenian and Syrian relief is going well in all the counties of the fifth district, according to the report of Mr. R. C. Burts, of Rock Hill, chairman of the fifth district. All the county chairmen are confident that their , qudtas will be raised. County Auditor B. M. Love 'phoned The Times yesterday that he would be in Fort Mill Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week fur the purpose of listing real arid personal property for taxation. Property owners should take note of the dates. The annual banquet of White Oak Camp, Woodmen of the World, was held Friday evening in the armory and despite the fnct that so many homes are stricken with influenza, the affair was well attended and a most pleasant evening spent. There were short addresses at the conclusion of the dinner by prominent local speakers. A -J ?. - rx vcr.v pit-asam rucopuoil was heid Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. - Alex Barber, the affair being under the auspices of the Baptist Young People's Union and was in honor of VV. A. Roach, a prominent member of the society,-who left Fort Mill Sunday evening to make his future home in Lumberton, N. C. The guests were received at the door by Mrs. Barber, Mrs. Arthur Parks and Miss Willie K Barber. After an hour or two of enjoyable games and conversation hot chocolate ^ and sandwiches were served. Mr. J. Lee Capps sustained a painful and dangerous injury Monday morning while operating a planer-at the plant of the Fort Mill Lumber company. A piece of timber which he was dressing was thrown backward by the knives of the machine and he was struck a severe blow in the ' stomach. He was taken to his home whe#e, after treatment. ' he has been resting fairly comfortable and it is hoped that there will be no complications from internal injuries. tto ?t tb? Rock Hffl bospiUl one , day last week, has recovered j sufficiently to return tohis bono. , iniWnclty. ? Earl Bass, a young man of J this city who baa been with the * Expeditionary Force overseas, j has beep discharged from the I service and returned to his uome hero Sunday. ' W.* L.- Schmidt, representing e I the Paramount Pictures com- e I pany, of. Atlanta, was here ] I Tuesday and placed contracts J ttith the Majestic Theatre for j the showing of quite |a number ( of the famous Paramount pro- f ductions. Among the list of a stars to be featured in the pro- v ductions -are Mary Pickford, h Marguerite Clark, Pauline Fred- t erick, William Farnum, Jack f Pickford, Geraldine Farrar, John h Barrymore, and others. These t features will appear at the Majestic each Friday, beginning with Friday, February 14. Thqfe has been a great im- t provementin t'he "flu" situation t in Fort Mill during the last ten r davs. According to the state- f ment of Supt. W. H. Ward, of 1* the graded school, there were 299 pupils present in school Mon- n day of a total enrollment of 338. a This is qi>out the normal at- s tendance and as a result of the S improved conditions compares ii favorably with an attendance v about ten days ago of 230. There f are but a few ill of "flu" at this a time and so far as The Times d can learn there has not appeared a new case in several days. a ? ?s Prices Must Come Down. d Reduction of prices in the United States is inevitable, if we ex- v pect to keep our machinery at h work and our export trade up to t normal level, says the Journal of h Commerce. Indeed, it will be t hard to sell goods freely, even at '} home, so long as the present schedule of prices is sustained. c The prospects of a quick and ^ easy conquest of foreign markets t ire not likely to be realized. The g present scale of values is far too n high and must be lowered. Such r readjustments will, of course, 1 bring about a condition of dis- n turbance and may involve some suffering. They are, however, a necessary part of the process of returning to normal condi- t tions. No one wants to see any h sudden changes in the outlook, v but it must be recognized that f the sooner the transition is over t the more solid will be our pros- v perity under the new peace con- f ditions. r -? - t Saving the Peoples^ Money. a The Charleston News and Courier of Tuesday carried the J : - - ! luuuwing news item irom its Columbia correspondent relative D to the salary law for elective r State officers ( passed by the " house and senate and signed by . Governor Manning Monday 1 night. "The bill as written into the ^ statute books is the product of "" W. R. Bradford, chairman of the r ways and means committee. When the senate bill "Was re- c ported to the ways and means ? committee, Mr. Bradford gave * up the chairmanship to a memoer of the committee and argued , that all but elective State officers ihouid be stricken from the bill, the governor's salary to be re- , ductd frorrf $6,000 to $5,000, as I carried in the senate bill; the salary of elective State officers to be reduced from $3,000, as r< prescribed by the senate, to ui $2,500, and that ail other officers M iis contained in the senate bill, ai including the justices of tho pi supreme court and the circuit ol judges, be eliminated. Mr. Bradford's ideas were adopted."

There is a widespread effort on he part of the negroes and heir lodges to collect gold noney, it was learned, though or what purpose cannot be earned. Several days ago a colored ' nan, member of a colored lodge, sked a white lady to change a um of money into gold for him. ?he showed some surprise, tollng him that the paper money iras just as good, when he inormed her that the "niggas" .11 over town "is changin' all leh Itionpv intrk rr/il' if /ioli /?..? " i w fcvrm AX uCil vaif| Nobody knows what it's all bout; but one can't help but ee visions of a smart, well ressed mulatto from somewhere 'up no'th" who is mingling /ith them and telling them he mows a scheme whereby if hey will entrust their gold to lim he will get it doubled for hem. That may not be it; but t's an even bet that someone 3 trying to slip one over the olored people. Or it may be recollections of he Civil war when money went o a ton for a sack of flour, iome of the old time darkies lay be afraid that all ihe paper noney is going to be thrown out )ut that gold is bound to regain.?Charlotte News. Prohibition Coming. The distillers have organized o fight the coming of prohibition y constitutional amendment. It vill at least prove a good Ihing or the lawyer^ who are reained, but it will avail the rhiskey interests little. Thp irst move will be to contest the ight of certain States to vote he amendment. These States re 15 in number and the conen^ion will be that their laws equire the prohibition question o be submitted to a vote of the eople. To date, 29 States have atified the amendment. The eeded additional seven are on he way. In case the liquor nterests lose their fight bo have he amendment submitted to a ote of the people in the 15 Itates in question, they will sake their final stand in a ;eneral contest in the Supreme ourt against "constitutionality" f the measure, and there they re headed for certain defeat, 'he country might as well be i etting its household in shape I or the coming of the day when J he nation will be dry in the 1 ctual sense of the word.?Char- j >tte Observer.
