The old fashioned red-faced two cent postage stamp of prewar day8 will on Juty 1 come again to the iront, ana Dy so doing will cut down the anuual postal Receipts to the tune of some $75,000,000 or $90,000,000 per year. Not only will letter postage be reduced, but postal cards will travel with only one cent attached to them. To stick a two .cent stamp on a postal card has caused many a close fisted individual to suffer inward pangs, and it may be that some people swore off from postal cards on account of the postal rate. Now they will have an opportunity to catch up with their back correspondence. It is likely that most business houses will have disposed of all of their three cent stamps by July 1, but in case they still have a quantity on hand, the post office will probably arrange to i have them exchanged for stamps of other denominations. Envelopes stamped with three cent postage will also be exchanged in all probability for envelopes bearing stamps of other denominations. Ten days remain before the new postal rates will go into effect, and most three cent stamps will have beon used before that time by houses which have laid in a supply. The increased postage rate went into effect October 2, 1917, and was ordered reduced back to its normal status on the first day of the coming month when the recent revenue bill was approved by congress. r ^ . B r Time to Build. To build a home now is make an important and direct contribution to national readjustment and reconstruction. First, the country needs thousands of homes. After that the home-buildei creates a demand for stone, lumber, brick, hardware, concrete, paint, etc.; money circulates? only blood that circulates make; for health. / Building absorbs labor, whicl is of prime importance, wher thousands of soldiers are beinj released from the army, and industry is in tration from the wai to peace gear. 1 A general country-wide cam paigh of building would do more than any other one thing to in * crease the permanent wealth o] the nation and the individual.

Editor Times: I notice in the General Farn Notes of your paper of June 5il two statements regarding swee clover: 1st. "That it must be regard ed largely as a substitute fo red clover." 2nd. "That it must be cut fo hay early' in June before an: buds appear." 1 have seen several fields o sweet clover in Fairfax county Va.f near here. They cut it soim three times in one season, eacl time leaving a high stubble b sprout the next growth. I yields about two-thirds as mucl hay per acre as alfalfa and i much hardier. A good stan< can be obtained on a pre para tioi that would not sprout alfalfa. 1 can be sowy on gr$in in the win ter or early spring as Alsik Clover is sown. Sweet clover ii common with all clovers, need lime. I saw an orchard in swee clover that had been grazed b; hogs for four years. When one considers its hardi ness, it's yield of hay per acre it's early spring pasturing an< that it is closely related to th< alfalfa family, thus one of th best means of inoculating th< land for alfalfa, I don't thinl anyone will regret giving awee clover a good, fair triaL JL &?- r W, . v?;' : B&" ?? r, I.,,!, ?

There is a strong petition out in Catawba township for the I appointment of J. H. Boyd, of Lesslie, as Catawba township supervisor, to succeed the late i Burton Massey. Mr. Boyd was I an overseer under Mr. Massey for two years previous to the war. He served a year in France, a good part of the time makintr German nrisnnera rennir the French roads that had been torn up by German shells, and since his return he has been en- , gaffed on his old job. ( The people of Hickory Grove and vicinity are very much ' interested in a proposition re- 1 cently made to them by Mr. W. B. Moore, of Yorkville, with 1 reference to the buildinff of a i cotton mill at Hickory Grove. \ Mr. Moore stated to Hickory 1 Grove people that he could se- < 1 cure the sum of $125,000 for < investment in a $250,000 cotton ) mill, and if they would raise a similar sum of $125,000, he would seriously consider the 1 building of a mill at that place. There is to be another bank at Clover. It is to be known as , the First National Bank and Trust company. It is to have two charters, one State and the other Federal. The bank is to t be capitalized at $25,000 and the Trust company at $10,000. Mr. G. F. Hambright of King's Mountain, and his brother, Beatty Hambright, are the prime movers.
