MEMORIAL DAY
FITTINCLY OBSERVED

We doubt if better day than yes
terday, especially in the afternoon,
could have been made to order. It
started out cloudy in the early morn
ing but Old Sol finally peeped out
from behind the clouds and his BEAM
ing smiles and warmth seem to say to
the nation that it wanted this, the
greatest of. all Memorial Days, to be
a bright and happy one in way, as
an augury Of good will and good for
tune yet to come to the nation despite
the solemnity of the day and the sad
memories it brought to mind. At
about 1870 the parade formed and
perhaps, was one of the most impos-
ing parades ever given in this city
from the fact that the war entered
into it to some extent. The parade
was headed by Chief of Police E.. r.
Swanson, who rode like a major gen
eral his prancing steed. Then came
the old reliable Municipal Band under
the leadership Of Director L. w. Hub
bard. Then came the Knights Of Py-
thias Uniform Rank in full uniform as
an escort to the old soldiers, and the
boys certainly made fine showing.
Ihere was large turnout OF them
and they were fine looking bunch
Of men. They were followed by
the rank and file of the K. p. lodge

ing carried by eight of their men,

Herman Stern. who is on the u. S.
jury serving a. jamestown. was home
to spend Memorial Day. He says he
is fixed so that he can get home most
every night unless he is tied up on a
jury. This makes it pleasant for him,
and also inconvenient as it takes him
away from the business, especially as
Mr. Straus is unable to come up and
take a part in the business manage
ment. But then, Herman has a good
bunch of boys in the store, who are
on the Job all the time.

Duty to Vote.

Notwithstanding the apathy that has
extended all along as to the present
campaign. there is no reason to sup
pose that the Democrats of York coun-
ty will fail to turn out at the polls on
next Tuesday and register their votes
as usual.
The people Of York county have not
been slackers in other things and they
are not going to be slackers in this.
They recognize that whatever happens,
the public business must 80 on as usu-
al, and they are not going to fail to eX-
ercise their choice as between those
who are Offering to fill the various Of
fees.
Outside Of incorporated towns the
voting conditions are the same as here
tofore. Each voter goes to the polls,
scratches his ticket, takes the oath and
places his ballot in the box. No one
Is expected to interfere with him. In
side incorporated towns the ballot box
es are to be concealed from the public
view in booths. The voter receives
from the managers a ticket containing
the names Of all candidates. He goes
into the booth, scratches the ticket as
he sees proper. unobserved by any
body. and goes his way. II he Is una
BILE to read he may be assisted in the
scratching Of his ticket by a person in
whom he has confidence.

In compliance with a resolution
adopted by women Of Fort Mill. May

of the town bell each evening as

SUGAR bowls are forbidden on the
tables of hotels, restaurants and pup

issued by the food administration.
Individual portions Of sugar, for cere-

has bcen reported to the food admin
istration that where sugar bowls are
still in use in public eating places as
before the present shortage In sugar.
hardship Is worked upon conscien-
tious patrons who oftentimes must do
entirely without sugar for the reason
that greedy persons. left to help them
selves out OF the sugar bowl. have
uscd more than their share and have
exhausted the supply. 1t Is not the
purpose Of the food administration to
deprive any one Of his share OF sug-
ar: but since. under the regulations,
public eating places may purchase no
more than two pounds Of sugar for
every 80 meals served. sugar must be
carefully apportioned to all patrons.
II is not considered fair for one person
to waste three or four spoonfuls OF
sugar in the bottom Of a coffee cup.
while another person Is deprived en-
tirely.. The food administration sug-
rests the use of envelopes containing
a single portion of sugar, as Is already
practiced in many hotels and restau-
rants. Sugar bowls have likewise
been ordered off the tables Of dining
cars Houscholders may purchase not
more than two pounds of sugar per
person per month, and the food ad-
ministration does not regard 1t as fair
that persons may go into restaurants
and help themselves to sugar out OF
sugar bowls. using 1t without regard
to the rights of others and withqF;
consideration for the proprfetors
public eating places VINO cannot buy
more than two pounds for every 30
meals served.

The action Of the British govern
ment in recognizing the Czeck-Slovaks
as a nation, is regarded by the German
people as still further postponing the
m"agcr prospects of peace. This rec
ognition, the Cologne Gazette points
out, can only be practically effective
through the overthrow of the Austrian
empire, Of which the Czeck-Slovaks
now form a part. And of course that
is exactly what the British government
means. None among the Allies think
that there can be peace so long as the
German and Austrian governments
are able to help themselves. and
when the Germans and Austrians are
conquered az they must be then the Al
lies will dispose of the various nation
alities which make up their respective
empires as may appear best for the
world. But whatever else happens. the
Czech -Slovaks must be protected to
the last.
