SCHOOL NOTES

Patrons Of the Bethany school are
considering the idea Of enrolling their
school under the rural graded school
system instead of the high school sys-
tenn as at present. To receive state
aid in the sum Of $500 per annum un-
der the rural graded school system, a
school district must vote mill
special levy, be possessed Of a good
school building, and have an enroll
ment Of at least rs pupils, three teach
ers and run seven months. To re-
.ceive the same amount Of aid from the
state, a high school must have an
eight months term and an enrolment
Of at least fifteen high school pupils.
Although Bethany is meeting these re-
uuirements at present 1t is a hard
matter to do so, and the people seem
to be Of the opinion that the school
will do better to become a rural graded
school.
Two new school buildings are to be
erected in the near future. A one
room building which will cost about
$1,000, will be erected at Fairview,
near the home Of Mr.. John w. Purs-
ley, in the Bethany section. The
building Is to be erected on the Glenn
son plan for one room buildings. A
two-room building is to be built at
Piedmont, in district No. II. 1t Is to
be located near the home Of Mr.. A. c.
White, and will cost in the neighbor-
hood Of $1,000.
SUPERINTENDENT Carroll goes to Beth
ell today, where he will inspect the
Ridge school building which has just
been completed. This new structure,
which Is located in Bowling Green
district No. %, Is located near the
home of DR.. T. N. Dulin and cost In
the neighborhood Of $1,000. Practi-
cally all Of the material was furnish
ed by patrons Of the school-much OF
1t gratis.
school house Is progressing rapidly
II ia not known whether the building
will be available for the holding Of
the summer term. This building.
which is a few hundred yards away
from the site of the old building, Is
being erected on a handsome site and
the large playground connected with
It Is a source Of pride to patrons and
pupils. :,
Patrons in a number Of the school
districts, It is understood, are anxious
to erect new buildings, and 1t Is quite
possible that before the end OF this
year several additional structures will
be added to the long list Of handsome
school houses in the county.
That there Is to be much changing
Of teachers among various York coun:
ty schools during the year Is evidenced
by the fact that trustees OF several
districts are already communicating
with new teachers in an effort to Sc
cure their services. In numerous
cases, however, teachers who taught
during the year just closed, have been
re- e-elected.

There was keen expectation in Eng
land that the United States would be
thrown out of balance by the sinking
of the Lustania, and take drastic ac-
ton. Even the usually imperturlable
Associated Press seemed to get lit
tie excited over the situation, as in
dicated by the coloring given in the
dispatches, generally supposed to be
without the slightest bias, in treating
the bursting of bubble the same as
the bursting of a world. But excite
ment has been dying down. as there
began to develop a realization of the
fact that maybe after all England has
not been altogether without blame in
the matter. The English press and
people have been talking as if there
was positively no danger of the sink
ing of great, swift ship like this, and
every effort was made to shame pros
pective passengers who showed any
nervousness about the matter. Then
after the tragedy was consummated
there was every effort across the water
to make it appear that Americas duty
was to 60 to war at once. There are
powerful influences in America that
are trying to force this very view upoI
our people; but at the present writing
the people appear to have overcome
the shock.

his testimony Is that on some OF his
poorest lands, where previously 1t was
almost impossible to get stand OF
any crop that was worth while, after
he had sowed and turned under one
crop Of burr clover 1t was comparative
ly easy to get stand Of anything.
Where the clover had been growing
continuously for several years the soil
had become richer and richer. one
sowing Of the clover Is all that Is nec-
essary, as 1t re-seeds itself indefinite
ly. Mr.. Patrick does not use the clo-
yer for anything except soil building.
In collecting seed he rakes over the
field with a many-tooth rake and
then has the seed swept into piles
with brooms.
After Income Tax Payers.
Broadus M. Love, county auditor,
has sent out notices to about thirty
citizens Of York county, advising them
that the time for making returns on
their incomes expires July l. Under
the law concerning incomes, tax Of
one per cent Is levied against persons
who earn from $4,000 to $4,000 per
year; two per cent Is levied against
incomes of from $500 to $4,000 per
annum; two and one-half per cent
on amounts Of from $4,000 to $4,000,
and a three per cent tax Is levied
against persons who have annual in
comes Of more than $4,000. Under
the law the county auditor Is requir-
ed to notify all persons whom he has
reason to suppose are liable to the
tax and the proposition Is more or less
a matter of guess work with that Of
fetal, since he has no direct means
~ L. xxyhn fa q of =
eight York county citizens paid an in
come tax which totaled s388.41. 1t
has been assumed that the law re-
garding the income tax Is to be rigid
ly enforced this year and 1t is ex-
pected that the number Of income tax
payers in York county will be increas-
ed over that Of last year.

HAIL IN TIRZAH SECTION

Hail, wind and rain played havoc
with crops in the community sur
rounding Tirzah, Wednesday after
noon, and as. a result Of the deluge
many acres Of cotton and corn will
have to be re-planted. In several
cases lands were badly washed and
taken altogether, the hail was the
heaviest which has visited that section
since last July.
The storm occurred about 2.3(
o'clock and its territory appears to
have extended from about the farm OF
Mr.. ]. ]. Miller near Newport, to the
Delphos section. The wind was ter
rifle and the hailstones, although moi
large, were numerous and fell steadily
for fifteen or twenty minutes. =
The top Of crib on Mr.. w. E.
GettyS farm was blown off and q
number Of sheds were wrecked as
we'll as a hog pen which was hurled
a considerable distance. A gin house
on Mr.. ]. ]. Miller's place, was blown
down and his orchard was practically
destroyed.
Mr. R. H. Hawkins sustained con-
siderable damage, a fine field Of wheat
on MS place DelnS pTdctlcdlly uestroy-
ed. Others who sustained more OF
less damage were Messrs. T. M. Oates
R. Fl. Garner and A. E. Willis.
1t is understood that the larger part
Of a nine horse farm belonging to Mr.
Henry Massey will have to be plant
ed over and a number Of other farm
ers will have to plant a portion OF
their cotton and corn crops over
again.
The wind and hail seems to have
done very little damage in the Phila-
delphia section, although the down
pour Of rain was one Of the heaviest
Of the year.
Others whose crops and premises
were more or less seriously injured
were Messrs. Tom Oates, F. E. Clin-
ton, A. ]. Berry, r. E. Wingate, d. e
Finley, j. M. Campbell and T. b
Glenn.

WITHIN THE TOWN

In five inning game played on
the local diamond Wednesday after
noon, the Graded school baseball team
defeated the Gaffney school team, 5
to l. The game had to be discontin-
ued after the fifth inning on account
Of the downpour of rain.
There has been an abundance Of
strawberries on the local market this
week, most Of them coming from the
country surrounding. The berries are
being sold at 10 cents per quart and
the demand seems to be about as great
as the abundance.
The Graded school baseball team
expects to wind up the season Tues
day afternoon, when game with the
Rock Hill Graded school team will be
played on the local diamond. The
Graded school has had fine team this
year and has won most Of the con-
tests engaged In. Rock Hill also has
played good baseball, having defeated
the local team on two occasions. Tues
days game is expected to be warmly
contested.
The Graded school pupils are now
working on the programme to be rem
dered Thursday and Friday nights of
next week In connection with the
school closing. The exercises will con-
sist of declamations, music and the
like and play in which a number of
the High school pupils will appear.
The entertainment Thursday night
will be held In the opera house and
Friday evenings exercises will take
place in the school auditorium. AS has
already been announced I'm The Enqui-
rer, President William Spencer Currell
of the South Carolina University, is to
address the graduates on Friday night.
- Mention has been made each
spring for Il number Of years past
about the flowers In the cemeteries.
The cemeteries have been the home
of pretty flowers for close on to CEN
tury: but it has only been within the
past dozen years that these flowers
have been receiving the systematic at
tentiOn Of experts. The general re-
suits began to be apparent at once,

there are those who will say 1t Is too
high yet, and no matter how high 1t
may go there are those who will be-
lleve that 1t Is still going higher.
There is no one connected with The
Enquirer who is personally interested
in real estate speculation. If there was
such a one it would hardly be the part
of good taste to say what we are 60
ing to say on the subject; but under
the circumstances as they exist we
feel fully warranted in giving our
opinion on the situation.
We have said it before and we re-
has advanced over the levels 1t occu-
pied in 1903 and 1904, it has never yet
attained it's full value. There have
been up and downs as the result of
pure speculation. People who have
bought at fair prices on margins have
been compelled to sell at losses for the
reason that they were without actual
means Of their own to complete the
financing OF their deals; but at no time
has real estate gotten above its true
value. and there is no real estate in
this vicinity now that Is above its true
value.
People who have actual money to in
vest, who can put it in real estate and
keep it there for few years without
danger Of being squeezed, have as sure
a thing Of it now as they have had for
ten years back. We are basing this
assertion on the belief that in 1904
and '05 real estate values stood at
about half their legitimate and proper
level, and although this legitimate and
proper level has increased very mate
rally since then, prices have not near
ly gone up in proportion.

State Banks May Go In or Out az
They like.-After consideration last
ing several months the Federal reserve
board on yesterday virtually decided
to allow state banks to enter the Fed
eral reserve system with the right to
withdraw and surrender membership
II they so desire.
This Is believed to assure the en-
trance Of hundreds Of strong state
institutions into the system. Early In
consideration Of the problem, 1t was
made clear by state bankers that their
principal objections to entering was
that apparently when once In they
must surrender their charters or liqui-
date to get out.
State banks expressed the view that
they were not compelled by the re-
serve act to enter the reserve system
as were national banks and that there
fore the door should be left open for
their departure.
They debated that question at some
length and consulted with governors
Of the Federal reserve banks and
members Of the advisory council.
1t was said last night the board prob
ably would explain in circular soon
to be issued that the only limitation
on the withdrawal Of state banks shall
be as to a maximum retirement Of cap
ital and reserves from the system dur
ing any one year. 1t also will be made
clear that the board does not wish to
make hard and fast rules governing
loans on real estate by state banks, but
that It desires only to limit those loans
so that banks assets will be kept al
ways in fairly liquid condition.

Union was once Unionville, Lancas'
ter was Lancasterville, Laurens was
Laurensville. Anderson was Ander'
sonville, and Chester was Ches
terville. The names Of these different
towns were changed solely because
they were too long and clumsy. and ir
each case the change was right. York
Marlborough, Greenville and Abbeville
counties all had representatives in the
general assembly when the foregoing
changes were made, and If these rep.
resentatives had seen proper they
would have changed the names Of
their own county seats at the same
time; but they saw no need for it
They could not see how Green, Able
York and Bennetts would help mat
ters. All these names have had thor.
ough consideration at the hands OF
bigger, broader and more patriotic
men than are now trying to make the
people of Yorkville change the name
of their town merely for the gratifica
ton of selfish whim.
