, 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bill as originally enacted with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.

There are about 500,000 pagan

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regulation act has been revoked

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.

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,

wMi to reply to bum. How;
lie. 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.
