that majority of the members of the

An imaginative newspaper writer a
few days ago sent out from Washing
ton q story to the effect that the chem
ical warfare service Of the army is ar
ranging to lay down in the boil weeFil
infested sections of the cotton belt gas
bar,ages that will eNterminate the boil
wccvil. The story went to the New
York Times and was accepted by the
unthinkins .as z ,W?1i!GiE ,W?91it!GE ot course 2sAp A
with approval as u most excellent
method of getting rid Of a lot OF gas on
hand. But it appears that there was
absolutely no authority for the Story
1t is pointed out by experts that in the
first place it would be impossible to
gas the cotton fields without casing all
the people in the country surrounding
and us the boil wccvil can stand more
gas than the people, there would Stlli
be plenty cf boil wccvils after the peo-
pie were all dead.

Tho Columbia State, the Rock Jill

pcrs are discussing the revived propo-
sition to lift the state line from the
south OF Fort Mill township and drop II

cc,leut household of North Carolina
That is going to happen some day ana

The principal factors in the specula-

amount of fertilizers to be used. The

1t is matter of very little financial
concern to the publishers of The York
vile Enquirer whether the paper has
1000 subscribers or 5000 subscribers.
The price Of the subscription is SO
nearly the cost ofithc white paper that
the question of profit does not enter
either way. The price Of the advertls-
ing is fixed on a basis much less than
is warranted by circulation and the
publishers, because of overhead charg-
cs, have no intention of raising or low
ering that price during the coming
wear, whether the circulation goes
higher or lower. But The 1orkville
ENQUIRER is a good newspaper, well
worth while to the people of York
county, and the greater it's circulation
the more it is worth to the county as
whole and to each individual subscrib-

MAYOR ANDERSON RESIGNS

Our citizens were taken completes
1y by surprise on Wednesday morn
ing when they learned of the rssig-
nation of Mayor Robert L. Anderson,
Jr
1t seems that our city charter i'm
poses as one of the duties of the
mayor the recommendation of candi-
dates for number of offices, and
the same are either confirmed or re-
jected by the council.
In carrying out this requirement
the mayors recommendation for chief
of police was disregarded by the
council, and the choice fell upon one
whom the mayor had not recommend
ed.
As soon as the action of the council
was brought to the attention of the
mayor his resignation Immediately
followed
We do, not know in what condition
this leaves the city, but until another
mayor is elected the president of the
council, of course, becomes the acting
mayor
Except its own attaches the senate
of the United States cannot elect one
to office without his first having re-
ceived the recomm endation of the
president, nor can the legislature of
any state elect one to state Office
without the Recommendation of the
governor; but whether the same rule
applies under our city charter we
are not informed.
