Not a Delinquent.
Prof. Leroy L. Moore, until lately
principal of the Sharon school, got
himself published on the roll OF
Spartanburg exemption board No. 2.
The professor was somewhat Jared by
the publication. and he went on the
board about 1t. But II was not the
boards fault. Prof. Moore has been
in the navy for several months. sta
toned at Norfolk, Va, but he had not
informed the local board Of his enlist
ment, and that Is how he happened to
get the undesirable advertisement. The
matter Is all straight now, however.
Prof. Moore was here last week on
furlough, and he was able to explain
to the board just how matters stood.
Tax Collections.
The big rush at the tax collectors
office Is over now. There is usually
n heavy rush during the last days OF
December before the per cent pen
atty goes on January /. There Is
another rush during the last Of Janu-
airy because Of the attachment or the
2 per cent penalty, and the third rush
comes during the last days OF Febru-
airy before the per cent penalty goes
on in March. The pressure on the
receiving windows is not so heavy
during these periods as formerly; but
the tresaurer's mails are always
heavy. All taxes paid from now to
March Is carry the Z per cent penalty
and on March Is all unpaid taxes go
into execution.

hit when he said he expected that
when the flag was carried across the
German lines In the final victory
drive, II would develop that the bear
er thereof was q descendant OF the
veterans who fought under General
Lee. The visitors were delightfully."- en-
tertaincd by the Rock Hill teachers.
Smallpox Situation.
Information from the little small
pox epidemic out in the Beersheba
neighborhood is to the effect that
there have been no new cases recent
| ly, practically everybody having been
vaccinated. Those who have actually
been stricken with the disease are
getting along very nicely. and thanks
to modern methods Of treatment are
expecting to escape the old time pit
ting with which smallpox formerly
made its victim. One young man who
had a pretty severe case has been ad-
vising his friends to be vaccinated.
BE vaccinated on both arms and both
legs" he says land IL there IL any
other place about you that Will be
helped by vaccination. get vaccinated
there too"
