FIELD DAY

York County School Field Day will
be held on Friday, April 16. Postpone
ment was made necessary from last
Saturday on account Of the exceeding
rough weather Of last Friday, which
promised to be just as bad on Satur-
day.
1t became evident to those in charge
Friday at noon, that it would be almost
impossible to hold the Field Day exer-
cises Saturday. Even had the rain and
sleet ceased falling Friday morning, the
Yorkville graded school grounds, on
which 1t was proposed to hold the ex-
ercises, would have been far too mud
|dy for the purpose.
Consequently every school in the
county was notified that the exercises
had been postponed, the date to be an
nounced later. Governor Manning and
Superintendent Swearigen were notified
Of the postponement, the Southern
railway was informed that It's sched-
uled special train could not be utilized,
and all minor arrangements which had
been made were dispensed with.
Many tickets to Yorkville and return
| had been sold in Fort Mill and Rock
Hill on account Of the Field Day exer-
| cises and the price Of the same was or
dered refunded to all purchasers.
owing to the fact that the Catawba
| High School and Athletic association
| holds its first meeting In Rock Hill on
next Saturday and several York
schools are interested In the meeting,
II was impossible to hold he County
| Field meet on that day, and after Sc
| rious consideration Of the matter, 1t
| was decided yesterday that Friday,
| April 16, would be the most suitable
| time for Field Day.
All the schools in the county have
been notified Of the change, and while
| nothing has been heard from Governor
| Manning and Superintendent Swearin-
| gen In the matter Of whether the new
| date will suit them, it Is hoped that
| their presence can be secured. The
| Southern railway will be asked to run
| their special train from the eastern
| portion Of the county on April IL, ana
the C.. & NV, will also be asked 10
| extend their special rate.
Superintendents Riddle n Holiday
in charge Of the athletic and mental
| contests, respectively, have the names
| Of about forty schools which a
| planned to enter contests In h Field
| Day meet last Saturday, and are conn.,
| dent that many others will come IN

been extended to April 16.

The big bread dealer in Spartanburg,

The big bread dealer in Spartanburg,
head Of an organization Of bakers, who
some time ago got himself advertised
as raising the price Of bread to 6 cents
on account Of the increased price of
flour, has now sent out another an
nouncement, this time stating that the
extra cen has been taken off because
Of operations in the Dardanelles and
the decline in the price Of flour. just
how the Dardanelles operations may
have affected the price Of wheat or
flour we have been unable to see, and
if there has been any decline in flour
prices for any other reason, the figures
do not appear to have changed so you
can notice any difference. Looks like
the S~partanburg baker is n of the
kind that like to lift up his voice from
time tc time and holler in order to let
people know me is there.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR
London's Summary Of Conditions az
They Appeared Yesterday.

wv
The attention of the public is be-
ing directed toward the great struggle
for the Carpathian passes, where the
Russians apparently r making steady
despite obstinate resistance
by the Austrian and German troops.
The Russians are on the Hungarian
side of both the Dukla and LupkoW
passes, and aided by reinforcements,
are gaining the heights which domi-
nate Uzsok pass. Even the Austrian
official report admits that fighting ID
taking place in the LaborcZa valley,
south Of Lupkow pass; while the Rus
slams announce the capture OF Cisna,
an important station on the hlgn
mountains between Lupkow ano
Uzsok passes, where they captured
much munitions and provisions.
The Russians are also advancing
from Dukla pass on Bartfleld at the
head of the line Of railway running
south into Hungary and fighting not
far from Mesolaborcz, another i'm
portant railroad head. On Saturday
and Sunday they captured IN the Car
pathians upwards OF 5000 prisoners.
They also claim another success In
Buckowina and the capture OF another
thousand prisoners, while the Austri-
ans also assert that they repulsed a
Russian force which attempted to
cross the Dniester river.
The Russians are also making pro-
gress in northern Poland, the German
report telling Of the repulse Of a Rus
sian attack on Mariamipol, west of the
region that a few days ago was In the
possession Of the Germans.
Comparative calm continues in the
west. The French have little to re-
port. The Germans announc the re-
pulse Of French attacks in the Woevre
region.
The former German cruisers Goeben
and Breslau, now under n Turkish
flag, with the new names Of Sultan
Selim and Midirli, respectively, again
have been out in the Black sea and
exchanged shots with the Russian
fleet off the Crimean coast, but prob
ably confronted by superior forces,
made their way back to the Bosporus.
The German submarine U-31 has re-
placed the U-28, off the west q OF
England, and during the day reports
were received Of the sinking by this
underwater boat Of the Russian bark
Hermes and the steamer Divine, both
small vessels.
The Bulgarians have explained that
a recent raid into Servia was the work
Of rebels and have promised to dis
arm them when they reach the Bull
garian frontier.
The king Of England has made a
definite pledge to prohibit the 8 of
alcoholic liquors in the royal house,
hold, a self -deyning ordinace which
many prominent men in the country
already nave placed or themselves.
With this example before the people
and probably shorter hours for the
sale Of liquors, it is believed that total
prohibition will not be necessary.

OF course the British navy has the
same orders as to the Eitel that it had
as to the Dresden, Ito sink her where
ever she might be found. and leave the
consequences to the diplomats" but
in the last named case the orders were
not carried u The reason Of course,
was hat the Eitel was in a rather un-
healthy place for such proceedings.
Back a hundred years ago, however,
the British would have shown no more
respect to the neutrality Of the United
States under similar circumstances
than she did to the neutrality Of Chilli,
in the case Of the Dresden.

There is talk of blowing up oats and
all that on account Of the advance in
the price of cotton; but it is hardly to
be expected hat anything Of the kind
will be done. In the first place it would
be quite foolish on the merits Of the
proposition and in the second place the
weather seems to be holding things
back sufficiently to make 1t look like
most Of the farmers are going to be
glad enough to properly get in such
cotton as they originally intended to
plant.

THE GALLON A MONTH LAW,

Sheriff Brown is in receipt Of the fol-
lowing letter from Governor Manning:
II am enclosing copies Of the gallon
a month law. / will be glad II you will
see that each OF your magistrates gets
a copy.
II hope everything is going we'll in
your county, and that you and your
magistrates will use every effort to
preserve the best Of order in every line,
I am, Very truly yours,
Rich'd. /. Manning,
Governor"
In obedience to the governors in
structions each Of the nine magistrates
of the county have been served with
copies of the law.
Sheriff Brown has been studying the
law since its original PRONUNCIATION and
has been using his utmost efforts to
secure its enforcement: but he sees in
it some pretty knotty problems.
IF Solicitor Cooper is right in his
opinion that the executive officers have
no authority to examine express
books" said the sheriff yesterday, ut
Is going to be very difficult to secure
a thorough enforcement Of the law.
For instance. while an individual has a
right to order Il gallon a month and
the express company has no right to
deliver to him more than one gallon in
any one month. that does not cover the
whole question. The agent at York
vile only has information AS to the
packages h n go through his office.

L CIV oSA
News and Courier, Monday: The
Cylde liner Lenape, Capt Kemtle,
which arrived here yesterday, after
passing through the severest storm
known on the Atlantic coast In many
years, was one Of the first steamers to
catch the IS. o, s." call from the
dies liner that Is believed to have
foundered Off Cape Hatteras Saturday.
Capt. Kemble gave 1t as his opinion
yesterday that the steamship had
foundered. The Lenape. because OF
the seyere storm, was laying at anchor
al = o'clock Saturday morning, when
the wireless operator picked up an IS.
o. s." call, giving its position as
latitude SO degrees 10 minutes, north,
and longitude "A degrees, west, be-
lieved to have been the Prns Maurits.
At the time the Lenape was sixty

Kemble Immediately headed his steam
travelling forty miles Of the distance q
second message was picked up, saying
that the steamer City Of Montgomery
and a coast guard cutter were nearing
the imperilled steamer. Upon the re-
ceipt of this information the Lenape
was turned to her course from New
York to Charleston. Early yesterday
morning a wireless message stated
that the City Of Montgomery was
having trouble with her steering gear,
but that the steamer Algonquin, also
a Clyde liner, was nearing the Prins
Maurits. The Algonquin reported later
In the day that It had made a search,
but was unable to locate the distressed
vessel and that a. she had q heavy
cargo she had resumed her course to-
ward New York. No further report
Of the vessel had been received by last
night, and, according to dispatches
from New York, 1t was feared that
she had gone down with her four pas
sengers and crew Of between forty and
forty-ive men. Capt. Kemble report
ed here that he had sighted a large
quantity Of wreckage on his trip from
New York this time. Spars and the
rigging Of vessels were noticed. he
said. Some Of them were considered
as dangerous to navigation. The
weather encountered OF this trip OF the
Lenape, Capt. Kemble said, was the
worst that he has experienced since
he took command Of the liner. 1t was
so bad that the steamship had to lie
to for five hours Saturday morning off
the capes Of Virginia. The worst
part Of the storm vas encountered at
this point In the trip. The wind reach
ed a velocity Of ninety miles an
hour, Capt. Kembel estimated.
