This being i the case, we wonder what for and why? One of our small town ex- , changes notes the fact that it is carrying paid advertising' for ; one of its local churches. Many 1 of the city churches have practiced this for some time and ; doubtiess find it profitable. The city of Chester a few days ago voted $160,000 for street improvements. Which brings anew to our minds the question of how much longer the people of Fort Mill are going to put up with the rough and ragged streets of our town. Township Supervisor Kimbrell some days ago received a new road machine and with its operation the condition of the roads of the township have been much improved during the last ten days. If we could induce Supervisor Boyd to come over and work up the road from Fort Mill to the county bridge, our i ii r . _ L i. roaas wouia compare iavoraoiy with those of the average community. Car Ken Return to Work. Employes of the Charlotte Street Railway returned to work Friday afternoon. First cars were turned over to the old men at 3 o'clock. An agreement, by which the , strikers yield the demand for recognition of the Amalgamated , Association and the company makes an increase in the wage scale, to a maximum of 431-2 cents an hour, was signed at the office of President Z. V. Taylor, f ( lv /\ t l? ft ? n/\w> r\n %> *t n f ui Lilt: utilities? tuuipaiij ex t 10 o'clock Friday morning. Electrical workers sent word to Mr. Taylor Friday morning that they were willing to meet him as individuals and without the support of the brotherhood representatives. Mr. Taylor invited the men to corne to" see him. Men employed to operate the cars in the place of the strikers will be used for an indefinite time, then given a bonus when relieved of duty, according to announcement of Mr. Taylor. In signing the agreement Friday Mr. Taylor said he yielded to the request of the strikers to take back all men who were on duty when the strike was called. Mr. Taylor explained that he felt he could not standvout against the men on that point when he recognized it was the sole difference between them. He saw that the men did not wish to be charged w ith being unfair to each other, and he said he preferred to consider the public and the larger group of men rather than to insist on his own wishes.

The apportionment is based upon the quotas in the Liberty Loan campaigns. The Victory Loan quotas were based on ten per cent, of the banking resources, and where banking resources were not sufficient a per capita of $7.50 was used. The quotas for the ' Memorial Fund represent approximately .016 of the Victory ; Loan quotas. ; York county's quota has been < - . ' -\ V ;*t ". : ; : ?, V.k .^'\ /'h 1 n. Y.,k Cuty Vw.
