LAUNDRY PRICES TOO HIGH
Fort Mill Man Thinks Government
Squadron Should BE Called In.

There Is an opportunity for SOME
good work to be done in this section
by the governments socalled flying
squadron of profiteer hunters in nv
opinion" yesterday remarked q Fort
Mill man after reading the press dis
patch announcing that the Squad
ron" had forced the Childs restau-
rants throughout the country to re-
duce their food prices. Certain bus
mess concerns in this section" he ad-
dcd. will have to be forced by the
strong arm OF the law to cut their
wartime prices. otherwise I am con-
v:nced there will be no relief for the
public. An illustration of what I
consider an unreasonable price came
under my observation day OF two
ago when friend OF mine got back
package OF collars he had sent out
of town to be done up and had to
pay 4 cents apiece for the work on
them. During the war l spent n year
or more in city where everything
was admittedly high, hut at no time
In that city did I have to pay more
than 3 cents each for having my COL
lars laundered. This isn't such n
small matter as one might conclude
at first blush; hut however small /.
might he in the amount OF money
the public is actually paying above
the worth OF tho laundry work. the
Injustice OF the price is the thing 10
consider. Most OF the merchants ir
this section have reduced the pricc
OF their goods in conformity with the
nationwide movement to lower the
cost OF living and when any business
concern refuses to fall in limo with
the movement It should bc forced to
do so. The old story about labor
conditions is bunk and no one need
now use IT with the expectation Of
ending nm informed person to hc-
lieve It,"

and invites all the parents OF the
school children to be present to

the teachers are making an effort to
visit the homes OF their pupils dur

1t will he worth while for the pa
rents of the pupils to spend n few
hours socially with the teachers at
the auditorium this evening.
AT meeting of the board of trus-
tees Tuesday evening ii was decided
tn give the school half holiday to-
day to celebrate Armistice day.
superintendent Stribling said yester-
day that the half holiday would
break 'nto the examination schedule
somewhat, hut 1t was deemed wise on
account of the significance OF the day.

seventh grades moved into the class

GRATEFUL GOVERNMENT!
Alleged Lack OF Consideration Shown
Wounded Fort Mill Soldiers.


IF the lack of consideration the
government is howing a number OF
wounded Fort Mill soldiers is general
throughout the country" said q day
or two ago an eX-officer OF the 30th
division. ''it must have been q con-
tributinS factor in the defeat Of the
Democratic party in the presidential
election last week. I have no idea
President Wilson knows what is go
ing on in this connection. else J am
confident conditions would be changed
Immediately for the better. There are
living in Fort Mill a number Of for
mcr soldiers who were severely
wounded in action and some of them
are still suffering from their wounds
tc such an extent that they are inca
nacitated from doing hard work.
These men deserve a fair pension.
They are not getting 1t. Only one
man know Of who went from Fort
Mill to the World war and who was
severely wounded is getting a pension
sufficient 60 sustain him and 1t may
be reduced any day II the precedent
set in the case Of other soldiers from
here who were severely wouded is fol-
lowed. Several who were severely
woudod are being paid n few dollars
per month it Is true. but his is a
pittanco when considered alongside
the amount II now takes to keep one
going. There is today a Fort Mill
soldier in n government hospital. un-
able to work. whose leg was shattered
in the attack OF the S0th division on
the FirdenhurE line and he Is not
drawing one cent Of money rom the
governmcnt His leg is stiff and will
I've stiff tho balance OF his life. An
other Fort Mill boy contracted white
swelling while in n training camp
with his company. He also will go
through life with n stiff leg and con-
Scuucntly unable to do tho work he
could hav" done but for his army
service. To my certain knowledge
the government Is not paying one cent
toward his upkeep. Other Fort Mill
soldiers who were severely wounded
and who have not recovered from
their wounds are drawing only n few
dollars each rcr month from the gov

thing in the collection was found
near the Catawba river in Fort Mil
township and not a few Of the arti-
cles were picked up on the banks Of
the river following the freshet OF
1916. In the collection is n human
