Just where the trouble lies we

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,

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.

Some of the cotton was eight g

Came a story out of the Ogden it
country Tuesday that the son of g
a well known fainter had been
held up by a negro who looked b
just exactly like Joe Turner, P
panted for the murder of Police- c
man Joe Kitchen and Alfred ^
Blair of Greenville, which oc- ^
curred several weeks ago and n

ruuueu ur auoui tne proceeds
of the sale of the seed of a
bale of cotton. The story had it f
that the negro appeared on the V
roadside with a gun and told the J
boy to come across pronto, which S
the boy did and then gave the ^
alarm. A posse appeared and g
began search for Turner; but
there was no negro answering a
the description to be found. Now b
comes a story from the same t
neighborhood to the effect that t
it was all a fake and that the r
story was invented by the boy ?
who wanted to devote the $30 ^
seed money to his own use and J;
sprung the story to fool his 8
folks. s
York Teachers Reorganize.
Reorganization of the York
Cdunty Teachers' association,
which has been inactive for the ri
last 12 months on account of con- u
ditions incident to the war. was v
effected at a meeting Saturday g
in the conrt house in York, t
About 40 teachers were in at- ii
tendance, representing virtually v
every section of the county, b
Unanimity of opinion prevailed a
as to the need of the organization ii
is a means of keeping the peda- ii
gogues in touch with each other o
and abreact with the educational t
nrogvess, and much enthusiasm I
was maaifest in formulating <2
plans for future work. j1
No formal program was car- J
ried out, the meeting being held
primarily for the purpose of re- a
organization, but there was a a
thoroagh discussion of the com- d
pulsory school attendance law. s
The following officers were c
elected: President, J. F. Thomas- t
wpn, Rock Hill; vice-president, y
W. D. Maginnis, Rock Hill; j:
secretary and treasurer. Miss
Belva Saundew, York. "
The division of the association a
into two wings, one composed a
of teachers of eastern York and g
the other of teachers of western y
York, was agreed upon. Separate 11
meetings of the two divisions b
will be held with the exception ^
of the initial and final ones of
the scholastic year, which will ^
be joint sessions, or rathor meet- rj

Swift & Company is in a better pos- |
ition perhaps, than others, to understand
the meat packing business in all
its relations to public and private interests,
even though the others may have
been <nving the subject a great deal of
sincere attention.
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. ,
