CARHARIT EMPLOYEES
QUIT MILLSON STRIKE

The entire force of operatives. ,num-
bering several hundred, at Carhartt
mills Nos. 1, in Rock Hill, and 2 at
Carhartt station, three miles south of
Fort Mill, walked out Monday morning
at 10 o'clock on strike. The plants are
idle and there is no means of knowing
when work will be resumed.
Conversations with textile workers
and the management of the mills
brought out the facts substantially as
follows: The strike was called because
of the refusal of the management of
the mills to rcinstate discharged en-
ployee. The employee in question was
discharged because of what was con-
sidered pernicious activity during
hours the mill was in operation, there
by interfering with the work of other
operatives. The strike was first set
for Inst Friday afternoon at 8 o'clock,
but was postponed pending efforts of a
government mediator to adjust the
differences. He gave up hope Satur-
day, as each 7sideswas unwilling to re.
cede from the position already taken.
The direct cause, it is learned, was
established several weeks ago when a
committee member of the union ap-
preached an operative with regard to
dues, instructing him, it is alleged, to
stop work and pay up. He started to
comply, but was instructed by higher
official to return to work, while the
committee member was asked to call
at the office and get his time. The
members Of the union objected to the
summary discharge of the employee
for this offense and it was voted to
stop work unless he was reinstated.
The management of the mill stated
that the discharge was not for the
offense mentioned alone, but that this
was elimination of offenses which
tended to destroy the discipline of the
plant.
So far as can be learned there are
no other questions involved. The
management of the mill states that it
has nothing against the union, as it
is OF the opinion that union, prop
erly directed, can be beneficial to the
management andoperatives alike. The
plant, it is stated, will be ready to
operate, whenever the operatives de-
eide to return, but the discharged en-
lp'oyee will not be reinstated.

TEACHERS SALARIES,
INCREASED BY BOARD

In compliance with the act Of the
General Assembly passed at the 1920
session. the board of trustees of the.
Fort Mil public school at a meeting
Monday night adopted the new sched-
ule of salaries required under the act
for teachers and also adopted a reso.
tuition providing for the employment of
three additional teachers, one each in
the first and second grades and the
third to have charge of the llth grade
of the high school, which it Is planned
to install next fall. The new salary
schedule calls for an expenditure of
about $l7.sOo against the present ex-
penditure for this purpose of $1,000.
Or the SIT, 300, however, the trustees
are expecting to receive from State
and Federal sources $1,000, leaving
$4,000 to be paid for teachers salaries
from local taxation. The addition of
the 18th grade to the school means
much for the boys and girls of the
community who for one reason or
another are not in position to complete
their education by q college course, the
trustees are certain.
At the meeting of the board Monday
night the election OF Tteachers for the
next session was not entered into, but
this matter will be taken at meet
ing OF the board to be held tonight.
D. b. Mills, chairman of the board, has
received number of applications from
teachers, and 1t is thought that several
hours will be consumed in the elections.
uhe Fort Mill graded school has grown
In the last four or five years from an
eight teacher school to the l7-teacher
corps which will open the session next
September.

Brick Plant at Grattan.

Hamilton Carhartt is planning to
install a brickmaking plant on his
plantation at Grattan, two miles south
OF Fort Mill, near the site of the old
McNinch brick works. according to
Is. f. Patterson, superintendent of the
Carhartt interests on the Fort Mill
side OF the Catawba river. Mr.. Patter-
son went to Statesville, N. G., last
Tuesday to purchase the outfit, but
found the concern that manufactures
prickmaleing machinery at that place
In the midst of strike, the settlement
OF which was uncertain. He could not
therefore receive any assurance as to
when his order will be filled, but is
hopeful that he will be able to get the
plant into operation in month or six
weeks. 1t is Mr.. Carhartt's purpose.
Mr.. Patterson says. to put in ma
chinery that will turn out about L.. 900
bricks daily, all of which will be used
IN developing the plans Mr.. Carhartt
has in mind Tor the enlargement of his
cotton mills at Rock Hill and Carhartt
station.

Presbyterians Give for Education.

Reports received at headquarters in

ment campaign being conducted by the
synod Of South Carolina for it's educa.
tional institutions are-gratifying. While
the largest individual contribution ex-
cept the 100000 offered by C. E.
Graham Of Greenville has been the
$25, 600 given by an upstate Presby-
terian, whose name was not announced,
it Is not unlikely that other large
donations will be reported soon. While
the work has been under way only a
short time. it has been in operation
long enough for the committee ap-
pointed by the synod to see that it
meets with the hearty approval OF the
Presbyterians Of South Carolina. The
money Will be Divided, 50 per cent. to

SUB COMMITTEE AGREES
ON SOLDIER BONU; BILL

IL Is estimated that more than three
million World war veterans will par
ticipate in the bonus of $1.25 per day
for each soldier who served in the
ranks go days or longer if Congress
adopts the terms of the bin agreed
upon by the subcommittee of the ways
and means committee of the house of
representatives having in charge the
Woposed legislation. The cost to the
country of the bonus would be about
two billion dollars and the former SER
vice men would receive on an average
OF 1915.
in addition to the cash bonus. the
cummittee is considering other forms,
such as'the payment of SITS day for
service men needing vocational train
ing by reason of injuries or i'll health.
BESIDES, proposing adjusted compcnsa-
tion at the rate Of SIPS for service
msn and women, the legislation will
inrlude alternate offers of land settle
mfnts, home building aid and extension
educational training.
To raise this money, general sales
tax Of onc-half of one per cent. will be
supposed upon all business men who do
an annual business or 800 or more a
year.
The bonus bill will be reported to the
hbuse in few days, it is said, 30 that
itcan be debated, passed and sent to
the senate for action before adjourn
naent or recess of Congress for the big
political conventions in June.
The bonuses proposed in'the bill are
limited to those who served more than
60days. Regular army enlisted men,
commissioned officers and others who
hhd special financial advantages during
theirterm of service are eliminated from
the provisions of the bill. While APP
proximately 1900. 600 men were in the
American service abroad or under the
colors when the armistice was signed,
about 1900, 900 will not obtain bonus
payments because of the limitations
imposed by the bill.
The bonuses will be paid quarterly
for a period of one year. Business
men subject to the tax willibe required
tolpay the sales tax quarterly. 1t is
contended that the tax will be easily
collected and the taxpayer and the con-
sumer will not be subjected to annoy
ances. The business man. it is pointed
out will add the tax 10 his prices and
make returns quarterly. 1

FORT MILL DEMOCRATS
STAND BY PRESIDENT

Resolved by the Fort Mill Demo
cratic club:
That we wish to go on record as
heartily indorsing the administration of
President Wilson, whose conduct of the
government merits the we'll done of
every patriotic American citizen. No
other president of the republic has had
80 many questions of worldwide import
to meet and no other president has
shown more wisdom and good Judgment
in overcoming vexed situations. We
are proud to have helped elect President
Wilson in 1912 and again in 1916. Har4
assed and misrepresented necessarily
fordhe dast two years by unscrupulous
political opponents both in and out of
Congresses his administration will never.
theless go down in history as one of the
grearest it hasseyer been the good for
tune OF the country to place in Office.
Under no other president has an equal
number of laws been passed in the in
terest Of the great mass of the people.
His successful prosecution of the war
against Germany is above reproach and
his name will be honored and revereSi
in future ages when the names of the
opportunists in Congress who have
sought to question his motives long
since have been forgotten. Had the
Republican Congress had the patriotism
to ratlfy the treaty of peace he submit
ted, America would have retained first
place in the esteem of the nations of
the earth, the position in which she was
placed by the wisdom and love for hu-.
manity he displayed at the peace con-
ference"
The foregoing resolution, indorsing
the administration of President Wilson,
was adopted at the regular biennial
meeting Of the Fort Mill Democratic
club held in the town hall Saturday
afternoon in compliance with the in
structions Of the county chairman. At
the reorganization of the club Frederick
Minis, Jr., was elected president. d. G..

@ASobJ oLanQHrQ.
We have followed with admiration
the political career of Senator Overman
and rejoiced at his prominence in the
senate. Nothing he has done should
call for more admiration than his heroic
stand at the State convention, when he
saw that woman suffrage was succeed
ing. Instead of pleading the inevita-
Die, as Governor Beckett and Senator
Simmons had done, he boldly stood by
ms ship and went down with his flag
flying. What made the stand more wor-
thy OF praise was the great need of
going with the current. He comes be-
fore the people this fall for the nomina-
ton for the senate and he is opposed
by an Observation-Disclosures of woman's
suffrage. a fact that must have made
him pause before taking a step that
would insure the opposition of the
women.
To his praise, let us remember how
he stood the test and refused to bend
the pregnant hinges of the knee that
thrift might follow fawning. Such a
man is an honor to his State and we
trust that all lwho admire moral courage
will do their best to send him back to
the senate. 4

Min Development Aids York Towns.

Population of Rock Hill, Yorkville,
Clover and Fort Mill, the four larger
towns in York county, is going to show
considerable increase by reason of the
fact that much progress has been made
injection mill development in the past
ten years." said an observant York
county citizen to the Yorkville Enquirer.
'For instance" he said, t'the Haw-
thorn Spinning mill has been built in
Clover since the last census report ten
years ago and the population of the
town is increased several hundred
thereby. The Clover Cotton Manu-
featuring eompany's plant at Clover
has been enlarged in the past ten years
and many new families have come to
that town on account of the enlarge
ment. The old York Cotton mills, now
the Cannon Manufacturing company,
has been taken over by the Cannon
interests in the last ten years and
maay new families have come to town.
The t;arhartt mill at Carhartt station,
on the Southern between Rock Hill
and Fort Mill, has been built since
the last census report. The two cotton
mills In Fort. Mill have been enlarged
and improved in the past ten years
with the result that additional families
have come into that town. Practically
every mill ln Rock Hsli has enlarged
it's capacity in the past ten years with
the result that scores and scores of
textile workers fromn without the
ceanty have moved in.., TIE Reynolds
Cotton mill at Bowling Green, formerly
the old knitting ma haas beensi en-
laxgeo and improved since the last cen.
sus and new families have moved into
York county to work there. l am
confident that the white population of
the county is going 10 saers q big IN
cssase for the ten year period and that
cotton mill development is responsible
for much of that increased popula-
tipn." NsrrA
