Just where the trouble lies we Ho not trnour hut nnnarAnt.lv V?v iivu n 11\/ TV f vuw **rrM* there is something wrong in a mercantile way in this town. We do not believe that in the history of the town there has been as much trade going out to Rock Hill and Charlotte and the mail order houses as there is this season. Whether the local stocks are incomplete (they don't seem to be), whether the prices here are higher, or whether iris the novelty of the visit to a larger town that is pulling the trade away, we shall not attempt to say, but it is observant to anyone that our merchants are losing a great deal of trade whibh they ought to get. Our business men ought to get together, learn the trouble, and turn the tide homeward. Nothing Doing. >. Not long ago a man came into this office and stopped his paper because he said it was always printing a lot of things about the same people and he said he was sick of it. Now, when something goes wrong with the country the government appoints a commission to investigate and find out what is the matter, and the first thing a commissioninvestigates is the man who made the holler to see if the holler was a reasonable holler. So the editor appointed himself a commission to investigate this man's holler. We just followed the man's career ever since we knew hira. The first thing that happened to that man was that he was born, hlif kn Vin/1 oluAlnf A)U /> MUt IIC I CAVA UUOVIUtVIJ Ill/UIIUK tV do with it. However, the paper mentioned him, although his parents were entitled to the credit. When he was in his early twenties he got married. The paper mentioned that, including the name af the bride, the preacher, etc., in fact it mentioned everything but thefee of the preacher, which was not worth mentioning. We never mentioned the fact that he never won any premiums at the county fair, because he never exhibited anything. We never mentioned his name in a list of committees, because he never attended anything. We never mentioned his name in the list of donors, because he never donated as much as a doughnut. We certainly have been treating this man shamefully, bat we will agree to run a nice obituary when the time comes. Will Bring Bodies Home. The war department has announced that preparations are being made for the removal of the bodies of the America* dead from Italy, Bblgium, Germany, Great Britain, Luxemburg and North Russia, and that such re movais win not nave to wait upon the approval of any other government, as is the case with those who are buried in France. At the same time the department gives warning that the project is so extensive and pn sents such different phases in the various countries involved that it cannot be carried into effect precipitateiy and without well-perf ected arrangements. Regardless of whether or not the return of these dead has been requested no bodies will be left in Germany, Luxemburg and north Russia. All bodies from north Russia mill be returned to the United States if they are not already interred in France. l.OST?Monday on public road between Fort Mill and Flint Hill church folding puree containing $22 in paper money.

Swift & Company is convinced that interference with its legitimate business function by governmental agencies, however well intentioned, would be an injury to every man, woman and child who wants meat to eat, as well as to the men who raise the meat and to those who dress and distribute it. Maximum service that cannot monopolize because of keen competition and lack of control over sources of supply is furnished at a minimum of profit?a fraction of a cent per pound from all sources. Therefore Swift & Company is taking every legitimate step of citizenship to prevent such interference. , These advertisements are intended I to help you, and to help Congress / decide what is best to be done.
