JULY 17. 1919. , Ufkt Savin Act to Stui I The daylight saving plan, under which the clocks of the country are turned forward an , hour in March and moved back in October, will be continued indefinitely. This was assured Monday when following President Wilson's veto of the $33,000,000 agricultural appropriatien bill because of 4ts rider repealing the daylight saving act, the lower house of Congress failed, by a vote of 247 to 145, to pass the measure over the president's veto. Strength mustered by the repeal advocates was eight votes less than the necessary two-thirds of the members present. Party lines were disregarded in the voting, members from agricultural districts, the source of the opposition, favoring the passage of the bill as originally enacted with representatives from the urban districts opposed. It was said that no further effort to wipe out the measure will be made at the present session ?' Confess. Will Get "Victory Badges." Every man who served in the army during the recent world war is going to receive a "Victory Badge" from the United States government, says an exchange. Orders have just been placed by the army quartermaster corps for 105,000 yards?60 miles of silk ribbon, out of which will be made the service stripes ' that men who served in the war against Germany are entitled to wear. Though the authorization of the "Victory Badges," as they will be called, was issued by the war department on April 9th. it was found impossible to start the manufacturing process just then. The badges will carry the individual colors of the Allied ' countries on a one inch stripe, and they blend from a deep purple through shades of blue and * yellow, and then back again. 1 They will be available for those entitled to wear them within a ' few week. ( . The Pagan Philippines. There are about 500,000 pagan 1 peoples in the Philippines. This 1 number includes every non' Christian tribe from Luzon to 1 Mindanao. It is one-twentieth bf the entire population which is 10,500,000. When, therefore. Writers speak of a people just beinsr redeemed frAm the nhvas 4 of savagery, the statement applies only to the insignificant 1 portion of the entire population of the archipelago. It does not . apply to the other portion, the 10,000,000 civilized and up-to-theminute Christian Filipinos, transformed into Mediaeval Europeans long before the Americans came, today fast being Americanized, and actually conducting a republican form of government ambaffled by its intricacies.

" Federal licenses for tfye purchase or sale of explosives is no longer required, according to information received from the chief explosive engineer in Washington. The explosives regulation act has been revoked by congress, effective June 30, and therefore, licenses are no longer required by persons purchasing or using explosives. 9 Commissioners of York and Mecklenburg counties who met at Wright's ferry Thursday for the purpose of discussjng a site for the bridge to be built jointly by the two counties across Catawba river, arrived at no decision. The commissioners discussed the situation thoroughly and looked over several prospective sites, but no definite action was agreed upon. Dick Moore, a young negro is in a serious condition as the result of being struck in the head with a rock alleged to have been thrown by Dock Shealy, who is now in the county jail awaiting the outcome of Moore's injuries. Another negro. Will James Roof, a friend of Shealy's and said to have been with him at the time of the difficulty is also being held in jail. The alleged assault occurred at the home of Mary King a colored woman, who lives on the Sutton's Springs road, Thursday evening. According to officials of the office of the county superintendent of education, there is an unprecedented demand for school teachers throughout York county just now. trustees seeking to employ teachers for the fall terms.of their respective schools. Very few of the rural schools have secured teachers for the fall,terms and it is quite a problem to get those desired. Practically all of the rural schools will increase teachers' salaries this fall, but this increase has thus far Droved not much nf nn inducement. Salaries being offered lady teachers range from $60 to $90. Ford Car Hat Rival. According to the Union Times, an automobile dealer of that city has closed the contract with an automobile manufacturing concern for 1,000 automobiles which are to sell at $297, f. o. b. the factory. The car is a new model, just out. It is a twopassenger runabout, weighing 760 pounds, and has a two cylinder motor cycle engine.

Times man with hundreds of others telling me What to do, I will aay that I hare nothing to do with the road from Fort-My I to the oounty bridge. Now, I am no lawyer nor an editor, but I have been knowing since the road was built that .the. township supervisor had nothing to do with that road. Now, if you and hundrods of others want to give the right man a hint to work thiB road in this way. I think you have done me an injustice. The one you ought to give orders to work this road gets all the auto tax and $15 a mile out of this township to repair this road. Now, if you think too much of him to tell him what to do or to publish his name, I will ask you to think as much of me when wrongfully done. J. L. Kimbrell. The Times regrets that Mr. Kimbrell considers what we said in our last issue a "blow" to him and that he has gotten the idea that we were ordering him to do this or any other work. As a matter of fact The Times' article last week was in the nature of an appeal and not a demand nor an "order." In this connection, we would say that for upwards of twenty years we have at intervals appealed to the council of Fort Mill to work the streets and if each of these appeals had been delivered as a blow it is likely that we would have Jbefore this'time blown the council clear into kingdom come. As to the supervisor having nothing to do with this stretch of road, we plead ignorance, but wish to add it is a poor law. It was our opinion that the supervisor of each township had charge of the roads of the entire township and not certain portions of it Presuming that the reason for this is that the Catawba bridge road was built by the county chaingang, we trust that the gang will build no more roads in Fort Mill township. If it did, you, Mr. Supervisor, would soon be wifhout a job, and in a few short years we would have no roads at all. You should have told us the man who "gets all the auto tax and $15 a mile out of this town ship to repair this road/' We don't know the man unless it is Supervisor Boyd, and if this is correct, we say to him to please come over and work the road before it. is completely washed away. Editor The Times. Up to July 1st, according to figures published in the Yorkville Enquirer. Fort Mill township had paid in $663 in road tax.
