- Henry Ford is pfepm'iitg -to
complete the economic cycle of
Jris^ industrial empipe-by buying
the government's 100 million dollar.
nitrate' plant at Muscle Shoals,
Ala.
This plant is still incomplete
and idle> lacking an appropriation
of 15 million to finish it and
pat it into -operation.
Ford plans to transform this
white elephant into a paying
proposition in the same way in
which his wisardy changed the
D.^ T. & I. railroad from a $200.000
a month loser to a moneymaker.
Ford's first step in setting up
an industrial empire was to establish
his own "parts" factories
in Detroit for hiR auto and tractor
plants. His second step was to
purchase outright his sources of
raw materials. His third step
was to buy the D., T. & 1. railroad
to transport much of these
materials to hiR factories.
Now he is taking his fourth
step?negotiating for the purchase
of the great nitrate plant.
Why! To provide cheaper nitrates
for farm fertilizer; thus to
improve the farms and increase
the farm market for tractors aud
automobiles.
Tribute to J. H. Coltharp.
The Yorkvitle Enquirer pays
the lollowinv tribute to the memory
of Josiah H. t'oltharp. who
died at his home iu Fort Mill
township on Friday, June 17:
"Every inch a gentleman anil
all-round good citizen was Josiah
11. i on harp, who passed away at
his home in Fort Mill township
lust Friday at the ripe old uge of
87. He was a native of Fort Mill
township and lived within a few
miles of the spot on which lie was
born all his life except during
the four years he spent in the
war. He was never rich and
never wanted to be, but owned
his own farm and lived on it in
comfort, and happiness, notwithstanding
a stroke of paralysis
that troubled hiiu during the last
2t> years of his lift*. He was a man
of large intelligence, correct principles
and a never failing fund
of wholesome humor that made
things pleasant for all with whom
he came in contact. He was always
against evil of whatever
nature, there was never any question
of where he stood as to matters
involving morals, and no
man in his neighborhood stood
higher in the estimation of all the
people."
Speaks Well of School.
The Fort Mill school district
has a friend in John E. Sweariogen,
State superintendent of education.
In a letter of June 25
to John E. Carroll, superintendent
of education for York county,
Mr. Swearingen says "that the
checking of the equalizing application
for Fort Mill school has
been completed. The application
has been approved for $1,928."
In another letter Mr. Swearingen
soya, referring to the amount allowed

a pleasure to do all 1 can to aid
this district because of the effort
of the community to develop a
good school."

Died in Bergdoll's Place.
Russell C. Gross of Philadel- I
phia, the man who took Grover C. '
Bergdoll's place when the con- '
victed slacker, now a fugitive in
Germany, failed to answer the I
call, died a hero in the Argonne

Gross was a private in
Company E, 328th infantry, and
was killed by bullets from a German
machine nest'. The fact that

was revealed by the Overbrook

was the first man called bv the
draft board after Bergdoll failed
to respond. He went overseas

Lindsay shows that he was killed !
