If you happen to have a few
grains, or cupfuls of sugar in
your pantry, better hold on to it
for an emergency, because the
chances are slight that an additional
supply will be procurable
this year. Merchants
expect to receive very little
sugar before next January. The
shortage is nothing like local,
various other places throughout
the entire country are in the
same fix.
The management of the Majestic
Theatre, of this city, has
closed a contract with the owners
of the theatre building for the
erection of a 30-foot extension

that work on the building will
gp commence within a few days.
This extension will give room
for something like 100 additional
seats and will relieve the congestion
which is at times experienced
in the present show
room. It is also not unlikely
that a building to the rear of the
show and facing on Confederate
g street of sufficient size to accomodate
the plant of the local
newspaper. The Times, will be

Many People Saw Airplane.
An aeroplane, flying from
Charlotte to Rock Hill and carry- 1
ing a film for the Palmetto 1
Theatre in the latter city, attracted
the attention of many
Fort Mill people Monday. The
rnachine also carried a number
of copies of the Charlotte Observer
which were thrown out 1
as the birdman circled over (
Rock Hill. The machine when !
it passed over Fort Mill was apparently
1,000 feet up and was >
making very slow time, probably '
twenty-five or thirty miles an <
hour. It was also seen by a '
number of people as it returned <
to Charlotte about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon. i
I
The Rock Hill Herald has this 1
to say of the visit of the flying '
machine to that city:
mi * a 1 1 i e
use aviaror naa a numuer 01 '
local passengers. Max W. Bryant '
made the trip to York and back,
though the machine did not
effect a landing at the county
scat. During the afternoon ,
there were a number of flights |
and each time a local passenger ?
was carried aloft. Rock Hill ;
look3 like a huge garden from 3
above, it was stated, her streets |
appearing as ribbons would about j
the foliage of greenery. The <
rough places are obliterated <
when looking down ancl im- |
perfections are not apparent. It
looked like a veritable garden of i
Eden, was one expression after j
a flight. - ]
Mrs. Max W. Bryant had the (
honor to be the first Rock Hill
woman to soar to hitherto unknown
h< irhts and Mrs. Bryant i
stated ti.ai she enjoyed the |
sensation immensely. It was
smooth gliding through the hazy
atmosphere and she was delicrhted
with the birds eye view
of the surrounding country. No
fancy stunts were attempted |
during this trip. ,
Nose dives and tail spins, also <
the loop the loop were easy
stunts for the aviator, who flew
a distance upside down and asked
his passenger how he liked it.

It was Rock Hill's first opportunity
to see the real aviation
stunts and, of course, they were
greatly enjoyed.
Shortly before 5 o'clock the
machine arose for the return
trip to Charlotte. Charlie Cobb
was the passenger this time and
he stated the trip was made in
about 18 minutes, though no
effort was made to break speed
records. The Cherry road looked
like a dream, he said, and the
spires of the Charlotte churches
were (rlimncpH hofnro f Kow
crossed the Catawba, which
looked like a spring branch
during a dry spell in August,
rhe aviator took a fancy for a
nose dive when over the circus
grounds and his passenger was
fixing to select a landing in the
haystack before the elephants
when the machine flattened out
and made a graceful, if uneventful,
landing nearby.
Cotton Reaches 40 Cents.
"The great buying movement
and wild scramble for cotton has
begun and, as a result, that
staple is now bringing between
38 and 42 cents a pound," says
i statement issued from Columbia
by the American Cotton
association. The statement declares
that the best grades are
extremely scarce and that the
mills are in a virtual stampede
for it. The prediction is made
that "cotton in December will
reach the highest level it has
reached since the reconstruction
days following the civil war."
Middling cotton was bringing
40.50 in Galveston, Texas, Saturday,
according to the statement,
and there was a scramble
for every bale offered for sale.
"If the farmers would hold their
cotton off the market and not
offer it all for sale now, there is
no telling to" what figure the
market would go," says the
Btatement.
