erick, William Farnum, Jack f

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

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

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."

Negroes Collecting Gold.
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"

leh Itionpv intrk rr/il' if /ioli /?..? " i

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

olored people.
Or it may be recollections of

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
