the European war has brought
about. The Rock Hill plant will

Interest attaches throughout
the State to the announcement
of the death of Montague Mich
oils, of Spartanburg, who was
killed several days ago on the
firing line in France. AS a lieu
tenant in the English army, the
Spartanburg boy had seen con-
Stant service since the outbreak
of the war and had only recently
recuperated from a severe
wound. In addition to being
personally known here, the de-
ceased is well remembered by
many others as the star quarter
back of the Annapolis team for
several seasons, being rated as
among the best gridiron per-
formers of the country. 1t was
last year rumored that he would
enter Carolina, following his
decision not to return to An

GREECE NEXT TO JOIN
the ENTENTE ALLIES

All doubt as to the entrance
of Greece In the European war
on the side of the entente allies
has apparently now been dis
posed of. The official organ of
the government. says that the
landing of French troops the
last week at Saloniki is for the
purpose of assisting Greece.
In regard to the landing of
the French troops the govern
mental organ says that if for the
present the government con-
siders the assistance of the allies
as premature, it is none the less
to aid and support Greece that
the allies are at Saloniki.
France and England enter the
Balkans as traditional friends
of Greece and not otherwise.
The Greek government has
seized the Macedonia railroads
of which two were Austrian and
one French.

John Rowell, who lives about

a young son who perhaps has
eclipsed any cotton picker in the
State, says a press dispatch.
Some time ago he told his
father that he could pick 600
pounds of cotton in one day.
Later he picked 324 pounds be-
fore noon, but was so fatigued
that he could not work in the
afternoon. A few days ago af-
ter an all-day effort he picked
COL pounds. This boy, Ryan,
is only Is years old and of slight

their entry blanks either filled
out or ready to be filled out.
When possible it is desired that
these be filled out beforehand.

Editor Times: | believe there
were more than ten righteous
in the number of readers of the
Fort Mill Times whose prayers
were asked a year ago and who
prayed and have continued to
pray God to give us a living
price for our cotton. Before
the mountains were brought
forth or ever Thou hadSt formed
the earth and the world, even
from everlasting to everlasting,
Thou art God. =" Oh, that King
Cotton" could stay in his place
and let the Lord Jesus Christ
alone at the helm on the throne.

A heavy decline in the CON
dition of the growing cotton
crop almost double the average

yield per acre of about 1853
pounds and a total production
(allowing a reduction of one per

abandonment of about 10, $780,
600 bales. Last years pro-
duction was 16, 135, 600 bales and
the 1913 crop IA, 1876, 900. A
crop less than II, 200, 600 bales
would be smaller than any crop
since 1909.

ports of census bureau cores
pondents and agents throughout
the cotton belt and issued at
10 a. m. Monday, announced that
