SUB-COM MITTEE AGREES
i ON SOLDIER BONU - BILL
it is estimated that more than three
million World war veterans will participate
in the bonus of $1.25 per day
foe each soldier who served in the
nmks 60 days or longer if Congress
adoDtR the terms of the bill airreed
upon by .the 6Ub-cominitteeof the ways
and means committee of the house of
representatives having in charge the
FPOpoaed legislation. The cost to the
coantry of the bonus would be about
two billion dollars and the former serwioe
men would receive on an average
0**375.'
*n addition to the cash bonuB. the
committee is considering other forms,
such as the payment of *1.T76 a day for
aorvice men needing vocational train*
ing by reason of injuries or ill health.
Besides proposing adjusted compensation
at the rate of -*T."25 for service
nam and women, the legislation will
iadlude alternate offers of land settlenamts,
home building aid find extension
o* Vocational training.
To raise this money, a general Bales
tar of one-half of one per cent, will be
Mtiposed upon all business men who do
an annual business or $2,600 or more a

The bonuses proposed in the bill are
limited to those who served more than
60days. Regular army enlisted men,
cannmissioned officers and others who
hhd special financial advantages during
their terra of service are eliminated from
the provisions of the bill. While approximately
4,800,000 men were in the
American service abroad or under the
colors when the armistice was signed,
about 1,800,000 will not obtain bonus
payments because of the limitations
imposed by the bill.
The bonuses will be paid quarterly

Mtfl Development Aids York Towns.
"Population of Rock Hill, Yorkville,
Clover and Fort Mill, the four larger
towns in York county, is geing to show
considerable increase by reason of the
fact that much progress has been made
in.cot ton mill development in the paat
ten years," said an observant York
county citisen to the Yorkville Enquirer.
"Fbr instance," he said, y'the Hawthorn
Spinning mill has been built in
' Clever since the last census report ten
years ago and the population of the
town is increased several hundred
thereby. The Clover Cotton Manufacturing
company's plant at Clover
has been enlarged in the past ten years
sad many new families have come to
that town on account of the enlargement.
The old York Cotton mills, now
the Cannon Manufacturing company,
has been taken over by the Cannon
interests in the last ten year* and
maay new families have come to town.
The Carhartt mill at Oerhartt station,
oa i the Southern between liock Hill
and Fort Mill, has been built since
the last census report. The two cotton
mills in Fort* Mill have been enlarged
and iihpreVtd in the paat ten years

CARHARTT EMPLOYEES
QUIT MILLS ON STRIKE
The entire force of operatives, numbering:
several hundred, at Carhartt
mills No8. 1, in Rock Hill, and 2 at
Carhartt station, three miles south of
Port Mill, walked out Monday morning:
at 10 o'clock on strike. The plants are
idle and there is no means of knowing:
when work will be resumed.
Conversations with textile workers
and the management of the mills
brought out the facts substantially as
follows: The strike was called because
of the refusal of the management of
the mills to reinstate a discharged employee.
The employee in question was
discharged because of what was considered
pernicious activity daring
hours the mill was in operation, thereby
interfering with the work of other
operatives. The strike was first set
for Inst Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
but was postponed pending efforts of a
government mediator to adjust the
differences. He gave up hope Saturday,
as each side was unwilling to recede
from the position already taken.
The direct cause, it is learned, waa
established several weeks ago when a
committee member of the union approached
an operative with regard to
dues, instructing him, it is alleged, to
stop work and pay up. He started to
comply, but was instructed by a higher
official to return to work, while the
committee member was asked to call
at the office and get His time. The
members of the utiion objected to the
nummary uiscnarge of the employee
tor this offense and it was voted to
stop work unless he was reinstated.
The management of the mill stated
that the discharge was not for the
offense mentioned alone, but that this
was a culmination of offensos which
tended to destroy the discipline of the
plant.
So far as ean be learned there are
no other questions involved. The
management of the mill states that it
has nothing against the union, as it
is of the opinion that a union, properly
directed, can be beneficial to the
management and Operatives alike. The
plant, it is stated, will be ready to
operate .whenever the operatives decide
to return, but the discharged emI
ployee will not be reinstated.
Brick Plant at Grattan.
Hamilton Carhartt is planning to
install a brickmaking plant on his
plantation at Grattan, two miles south
of Fort Mill, near the site of the old
McNinch brick works, according to
li. F. Patterson, superintendent of the
Carhartt interests on the Fort Mill
side of the Catawba river. Mr. Patterson
went to Statesville, N. C., last
Tuesday to purchase the outfit, but
found the concern that manufactures
urickmaking machinery at that place
in the midst of a strike, the settlement
of which was uncertain. He could not
therefore receive any assurance as to
when his order will be filled, but it
nopeful that he will be able to get the
plant into operation in a month or Bix
weeks. It is Mr. Carhartt's purpose,
Mr. Patterson says, to put in machinery
that will turn out about 12.000
bricks daily, all of which will be used
in developing the pianH Mr. Carhartt
has in mind for the enlargement of his
cotton mills at Rock Hill and Carhartt
station.
Given Small Verdict.
Yorkville Enquirer.
The court was engaged Wednesday
morning in the case of J. K. Hope
against the Southern railway. A verdict
for fhe plaintiff in the sum of
$1.72 was returned Wednesday afternoon.
Hope sought "mental anguish"
damages in the sum of $3,000 through
Ma attorneys, Dim lap & Dunlap. It
Mem* that he was engaged in placing
Mb wife and children on a train in
Rock Hill to go to Fort Mill. He
didn't want to go himself. The train
started off while he was engaged in
seating the family, however, and he
had to go on to Fort Mill. He claimed
the forced trip interfered with his business
and put him to some $3,000 worth
of iworry. The jury thought the raib

A man believed to be Monsoe Fleming
of Anderson, who used as aliases
W. L. Wallace and W. T. Williams,
was arrested Monday afternoon by<
the town policeman, charged with
passing a worthless check. After
waiving a preliminary hearing before
Magistrate E. S. Parka he was committed
to York jail to await trial.
Suspicion was aroused by Fleming's
attempts to cash checks at several
stores. lie succeeded at last in getting
one' cashed at a local drug store
for $6.75, although the check was
drawn for $675 in both the figures and
body of the check. This check was
drawn on a Rook Hilt bank, was made
payable to W. L. Wallace and was<
signed W. W. Moore. Following his
arrest several checks were found on
the prisoner, one drawn on a bank in
Gastonia, N. C., and several blank
checks of a Lancaster bank.
At different times the prisoner
claimed to be from Rock Hill and

FORT MILL DEMOCRATS
STAND BY PRESIDENT
"Resolved by the Fort Mill Democratic
club:
"That we wish to go on record as
heartily indorsing the administration of
President Wilson, whose conduct of the
government merits the well done of
every patriotic American citizen. No
other president of the republic has had
so many questions of worldwide import
to meet and no other president 1)BS
shown more wisdom and good judgment
in overcoming vexed situations. We
are proud to have helped elect President
Wilson in 1912 and again in 1916. Harassed
and misrepresented incessantly
for itbstlast tmm years by unscrupulous
politle44oppeaent8 both in and out of
Congpws, hda administration will nevertheless
go down in hiBtory as one of the
greatest it has ever been the good fortune
of the country to place in oihco.
Under no other president has an equal
number of laws been passed in the interest
of the great mass of the people.
His successful prosecution of the war
against Germany is above reproach and
his name will be honored and revered
in future ages when the names of the
opportunists in Congress who have
sought to question his motives long
since have been forgotten. Had the
Republican Congress had the patriotism
to ratify the treaty of peace he Bubmit
ted, America would have retained first
place in the esteem of the nations of
the earth, the position in which she was
placed by the wisdom and love for homanity
ho displayed at the peace conference."
The foregoing resolution, indorsing
the administration of President Wilson,
was adopted at the regular biennial
meeting of the Fort Mill Democratic
club held in the town hall Saturday
afternoon in compliance with the instructions.

TEACHERS' SALARIES
INCREASED BY BOARD
In compliance with the act of the
General Assembly passed at the 1920
session, the board of trustees of the
Fort Mill public school at a meeting
Monday night adopted the new sched,.u
.? ?1?'
?.c ui bttiaries required under the act
for teachers and also adopted a resolution
providing for the employment of
three additional teachers, one each in
the first and Becond grades^ and the
third to have charge of the 11th grade
of the high school, which it is planned
to install next fall. The new salary
schedule calls for an expenditure of
about $17,800 against the present expenditure
for thiB purpose of $9,000.
Of the $17,800, however, the trustees
are expecting to receive from State
and Federal sources $7,800, leaving
$10,000 to be paid for teachers' salaries
from local taxation. The addition of
the 11th grade to the school means
much for the buys and girta of tha
community who for one reason . er
another are not in position to complete
their education by a college course, the
trustees are certain.
At the meeting of the board Monday
night the election of teachers for the
next session was not entered into, but
this matter will be taken up at a meeting
of the board to be held tonight.
J. B. Mills, chairman of the board, has
received a number-of applications from
teaehers, and it ia thought that several
hours will be consumed inthe eieetionB.
The Fort Mill graded school has grown
in the last four or five years from an
eight teacher school to the 17-teach0r
corps which will open the session next
September.
WALKER D. HINES QUITS
AS RAILROAD DIRECTOR
Washington, April 2fl.?Walker D."
Mines, director general of railroads, has
resigned and bis resignation has been
necepted by President Wilson, effective
Muy 15.
Much work in liqqidating the affairs
of the railroud administration will remain
after May 15 and a successor to
Mr. ITines will be numed. Max Thelen,
in charge of the claims- department,
probably will be appointed. He js understood
to be Mr. Hino's choice, and '
it was said today at the White House
that the retiring direutor general would
name his own successor.
Mr. Iline's letter of resignation was
not made public, but it wns understood
that the director g<fl>eral had desired to
return to the pructice of law in New
York when the roads were returned do
private control March 1 and that die had
consented to remuin only until the tusk
of liquidation was well under way.
Because of his long application to the
business of his oflice Mr. Hinca is understood
to contemplate a vacation trip
Immediately after May 15 which will
hake him abroad.
In accepting Mr. Hines' resignation the
l'residi-ut wrote that lie could not let
the director general retire without telling
him how he had "personally valued
and admired the quite unusual services
you have rendered the government und
the country." s
e ? u ? e
uTcwa s moral courage.
Presbyterian Standard.
We have followed with admiration ^
the political career of Senator Overman /
and rejoiced at his prominence in the
senate. Nothing he has done should
call for more admiration than bis heroic
stand at the State convention, when he
saw that woman suffrage was succeeding.
Instead of pleading the inevitable,
as Governor Blckett and Senator
Simmons had done, he boldly stood by
his ship and went down with his flag
flying. What made the stand more worthy
of praiae was the great need of
roing with the current. He comes before
the people this fall for the nomination
for the senate and he is opposed
by an enthusittstieichampion of woman's
mfTrage. a fact that must have made
bim pause before taking a step that
would insure the opposition of the
women.
To his praise, let us remember how
ie stood the test and refused to bend
the pregnant hinges of the knee that
thrift might follow fawnintr. Such a
nan is an honor to hia State and we
.rust that all who admire morul courage
will do their beat to send him back to
ire senate. ~ ">
