CONGRESS HAS
ADJOURNED
Sixty-Third Session Held Forth
for Nearly Nineteen Long
Months.

After nearly nineteen months
of continuous session Congress
adjourned last Saturday. Not
more than fifty members of the
House and less than a quorum oi
the Senate were present when
the gavel fell on adjournment
without day.
The end was accomplished
through the passage of a concur
rent resolution ending the session
at four o'clock but clocks were
turned ahead in both chambers
so that actual adjournment in the
House occurred at 3:22 and in the
Senate at 3:27.
1t was the longest and most
laborious session Congress has
ever known.

A WORTHY UNDERTAKING

Desiring to secure cheaper
money for the farmers of the
State and upon longer and easier
payments, an association has
been formed with headquarters
at Lexington, KY, to be known
as the Kentucky Rural Credit
Association, with Gov. James b.
McCreary as President.
It's plan is what is known as
the amortization plan, which is
simply method of paying off
the loan by returning a little of
the principal each year. Three
Presidents, Roosevelt, Taft and
Wilson have recognized the need
of such associations and as this
is the first organization of its
kind in the United States. its
progress will be watched with
interest everywhere.

AT SALT LICK HOME

News has been received here
ann ouncing the death of w. J.
Fell which occurred at his home
at Salt Lick. His death was un-
expected. Mr.. Fell was about
70 years old and was a native OF
Pennsylvania. He came into
Kentucky about twenty years ago
and located at Salt Lick. He
was interested heavily in timber
at that time and was one of the
mainstays in building the Lick

DO NOT TALK
Low PRICES
Men Who Raise Tobacco Are
Often Responsible for the
Prices they Receive.

We have talked to a number OF
farmers and from the best infor-
nation we can secure the tobacco
crop in Montgomery county this
year is the best in many years.
While some damage has been
done by house burning the crop
as a whole is-a fine one.
We hear considerable talk
about the price going to be low
on account of the war. We be-
lieve this is mistake just like the
predictions regarding the crop.
We had many men tell us early in
the season that there would not
be over one-third of crop, then
later on that it. might reach two
thirds, and now it is known fact
that we have better crop than
we have had for years. All but a
small portion of the tobacco rails
ed in this section is sold to Amer
ican manufacturers and while the
Imperial Tobacco Company has
been buying some the greater part
of the tobacco exported is the
dark tobacco.
OF course if you stand around
and talk low price the manufact-
urers will take advantage of your
feelings and pay you low price,
but if you determine that you will
have at least fair return for your
labor you will get it. In any
event it does no good to talk low
prices.

WOULD HELP
COTTON GROWERS
Suggestion Made BY Ballard &
Ballard, of Louisville, Would
Be Great Help.

|
leading citizens we below repro.
duce a letter which is being sent
out all over the u. S. by Ballard
& Ballard, of Louisville, and
which contains a suggestion il
followed would prove of untold
value to the cotton growers:
To the Commercial Bodies of the
South -
This is concrete suggestion
for the relief of the cotton Sec
ton. Please bring it to the at
tention of the officials of your
city who are interested.
The u. S. consumes 40 pc,
cent. of our cotton crop, and we
see no earthly reason why this
should not be increased so much
that it will be unnecessary to inn
port much, if any, jute from In
dia.
Investigations should begin at
home," and we were surprised at
fin ding that our own firm cou
increase its consumption of co..
ton goods over 100 per cent. To
illustrate: We have discontinued
the use of jute bags for feed
sacks, for burlap covers and for
bakers flour sacks, and have
substituted cotton sacks. There.
fore, today this mill is consum-
ing every twenty-four hours the
following:
(a)-$6oo.oo worth of cotton
-four bags; (b)-$2oo.oo worth of
cotton feed bags; (c)-$4oo.oo
worth of cotton covers for small
bags; (d)-$25.oo worth of cot
ton bakers bags; total-$I ,225
worth of cotton sacks consumed
each day.
Two weeks ago we were using
each day ONLY the article mark
ed "(a)." The result is startling.
Every jobber, retailer and baker
in your town should demand
that his flour and feed come IT
'o++o" and NOT in burlaps. The
expense is a little more for COT
TON, but a broad-minded Mill
figures that it gets its money
back and more because of the in
creased prosperity enjoyed by
the cotton section.
Furthermore, sugar, fertilizer.
grain, produce, etc, can just as
well be packed in cotton as in
burlap. The producer will use
cotton if the jobber demands it,
so we say 1T is STRICTLY UP
TO YOU. Remember this would
bring the u. S. consumption from
40 per cent. of the total crop up
to 90 per cent. Surely it is
worth striving for! Please have
your newspapers take it up.
Cotton mills are hardly oper-
ating IL hours-they should op-|
crate "a hours! Bear in mind
that in two weeks time Ballard
has made a change in his pack
ing methods which means that
instead of consuming $I8o,ooo.ooI
worth of cotton goods in a year
we are consuming $367, 10000
worth. What Ballard has done,
every other mill can be forced to
do.
Can we count on your co-op-l
Grafton in this great movement
America raises not one pound OF
iute, and she DOES raise COT
TON!

"A PAIR OF SKIES"

hN idiii'iio' SiS hihNoheN vi thN
title, "a Pair of Skies" to Ameri-
can theatregoers, as well as its
quaintness, has made it well
known the country oyer, apart
from the fact that the farce has
enjoyed run of nearly year at
the Longacre Theatre, New York,
is now in the height of another
long run in Chicago, and is now
being played by four other large
companies, North, South, East
and West.
The play was received by the
metropolitan critics with an AK
preston of praise that almost ex-
hausted the superlatives, and the
hilarious farce has made good ev-
erywhere despite this avalanche
of praise. 1t has made theatre
goers expect much and they have
not been disappointed. For en-
genuity of plot, bright dialogue,
hilarious complications and most
amusing situations, it has been
declared the best play of its kind
ever seen on the English-speak-
ing stage. 1t is by Edward
Peple, the author of "The Littlest
Rebel" and the prince Chap"
and is in three acts.
The plot deals with the affairs
of George B. Nettleton and 7.
Boggs John, partners in pill
manufacturing business, who are
constantly at loggerheads, each
longing to be rid of the other
but neither willing to sell out.
They summon their lawyer. but
decline his various propositions
for dissolution until in despair he
suggests a contract with nuncr-
Gus conditions by which I hand
of poker is to be played, with the
penalty tina; the loser shall quit
the business for year ano i'll
the interval serve as a servant in
the household of the winner. The
lawyer is interested personally,
because he hopes to see I. Boggs
John lose and with his lips seal
ed by the contract he will be
Inundated before the girl with
whom he is in love, and in whom
the lawyer is also interested.
The breaking of the contract
means forfeiture of $1,000 and
sacrificing his share in the busi-
ness. John loses and Nettleton
and the lawyer both feel he will
break the contract rather than
stick it out for a year. But he
grits his teeth and brarely enters
upon his duties as butler in the
Nettleton household. He is found
here by his sweetheart. who ar
rivcs as the guest OF the Ncttie-
tons. He cannot explain his po-
sition to her and there is more
trouble fer him through the at
tentions Of an eccentric English
housemaid wko pursues him for
a husband. This comical compli-
cation is developed through a
rapid series of hilarious situations
and the fun rattles along until the
unfortunate partners sweetheart
-akes a hand in the game and res
cues him from the clutches of his
partner. The latter, too, is glad
% end the agreement, for he has
the sympathy of his
wife for the loser and believes
hat she is in love with him, and
his assininty creates an uproar-

ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST.

The taxable value of Fort Mill
township for the year 1914 is
$591, 925, as compared with.
$685., O45 for 1913.
w. A. Wright and wife, of
jerks Jones, w. Va, were
visitors the last week at the
home of Mrs. L. S. Nivens in
Upper Fort Mill.
Fort Mill friends of Mr.. VIM.
Banks will be interested to know
that he has resigned the editor
ship of the Anderson Daily Mail
to accept a position with the
State agricultural department at
Columbia.
w. B. Byers, of Rock Hill, has
sent the governor his resigna-
ton as a member of the Federal
election commission for York
county. His successor had not
been named up to yesterday.
The Yorkville Enquirer esti-
mates that 25 per cent. of the
farmers of York county are able
to hold their cotton without any
financial aid. In Fort Mill town
ship, we venture the estimate
that even a greater per cent. of
the farmers are holding the
staple.
York County's second annual
fair will be held at Rock Hill
next week, beginning Wednesday
and continuing through Friday.
The fair management promises
all the visitors plenty of amuse-
ment for each day and it is eX-
pected that the crowds in at
tendance will greatly outnumber
the attendance of last year.
The report of Joe M. Taylor,
agent for the census bureau for
York county. shows that up to
September 25th there had been
5,645 bales of cotton ginned in
York county, as compared with
1872 bales up to the same date
last year. 1t is not believed,
however, that more than 1000
bales of the number ginned has
been sold up to this time.

ago. Mr.. Williamson was up to
a few years ago a resident of
this city and is well known in
this section.
Announcement is made through
a Spencer, N. c., newspaper of
the engagement of Miss Alice
Armstrong and Mr.. VIM. H.

place Thursday, October %.
Miss Armstrong is a niece of

terms Miss Armstrong has
taught the Sutton school and is
well known in this city and
vicinity.
While there is not in Fort Mill
or the township, to our knowl-
edge, an instrument for ac-
curately recording the rainfall,
the amount of water which fell
in this vicinity during Saturday
and Sunday is bslieved by many
to have been in excess of four
inches. AS a result of the down.
pour the creeks and branches
were greatly swollen for several
days, but we have heard of no
bridges being washed away or
other damage resulting from the
high waters.
