Financiering, j;'" In the Few York World of last Sunday we find an illuminating article about the financial transl actions of the Y. M. C. A. during the World war. The World shows that from the beginning of America's participation in -the war to January 1 last the canteens operated by the association for soldiers and sailors returned a net profit of over ?'/ $500,000, although a report of ths association, published in March, 1918, led the country to believe thas the conteen service had been operated at a loss of ' nearly ajmillion and a half dol Jars, Vfhy this discrepancy between the figures of 1918 and those of 1920? It is hard to believe that the Y. M. C/A. deliberately set out to mislead those who contributed so liberally to its war time activities, but it must be said that the actual figures presented by The World do not leave a good taste in one's mouth. During the time the American soldiers wqj*e in Europe in great numbers we heard much of the alleged exorbitant charges they were forced to pay for articles at the Y. M. C. A. canteens and until the Squth Carolina boys began to return home and vouched for the reports that had come fjjom more or iess doubtful uuurces, we were inclined to attribute the stories to a rival organization Now, The World also confirms the charges that the association made big profits on its financial 'transactions with the soldiers while they were in Europe. To our way of thinking the figures reflect no credit on the associa tion. The Y. M. C. A. apparently owes'the country an explanation which it may or may not be able to make. , One Day for RegistrationCitizens who desire to vote in the $20,000 school bond election to be held in Fort Mill during the month of April but who are without the, necessary county registration certificates to enable them to participate in the election are reminded that next Monday, March 1, is the only day on which they will be able to secure such registration certificates. , This election will not be confined to citizens of the town only, but to citizens of the school district whether they reside in the town or country,. J. Trustees of the school explain ??, that the bond issue is necessary to complete the building started 1 during the spring of last year, wprk on which was suspended because of lack of funds. A W Wright Killed at Ogden A. W. Wright, 71 years of age, was instantly filled by Southern railway passenger train No. 31 Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock at Ogden, 15 miles south of < Fort Mill. The train was behind time and Mr. Wright was ( hailed a considerable distance from the track by the force of the impact. The engineer of the train, J. E.-Stewart, says he Sfcw Mr. Wright standing on the trotk as the train approached him, but expected to see him fttep from between the rails. Mrr Wright had been in charge of the pumping station at Ogden a number of years. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. A. L. Neely of Ogden.
