WANT TRUANT OFFICERS.
York School Trustees Object to
Change in Law,

Expressing dissatisfaction over
the change in the compulsory
school attendance law at the last
session. of the General Assembly
whereby the two school attend
ance officers for York county
were relieved of their duties and
their work devolved on the school
trustees, and unanimously passing
resolutions that the office be re-
vived, a largely attended meeting
OF York county school trustees
was held in the court house at
York Saturday morning.
The trustees, 81 of whom at
tended the meeting, also regis
tered their opposition to the pres
ent law under which it is obliga-
tory that school buildings be in
sured with the State sinking fund
commission and asked that York
county be freed FROM this obli.
CATION and that trustees be al.
lowed to place insurance on
school property wherever they
considered most advantageous.
The trustees went on record as
favoring school day of six hours
OF actual work, or from 9 O clock
in the morning to 4 O o'clock in the
afternoon, which would allow for
the time lost at recess.
Following the passage of the
resolution concering the school
attendance officers, committee
was appointed to confer with the
York legislative delegation for
the purpose Of securing their con.
sent to the movement that the Of
flee be revived, which is a matter
coming within the authority,
according to the compulsory at.
tendance law as amended at the
last session of the General AS
sembly. No trouble was appre
hended by the trustees in secur.
ing the support of the legislato
to this measure.

HEAVY CUT IN ACREAGE.
Cotton Crop Promises to Be
Smallest in 25 Years.

In fOrecasting the years cot
ton crop at 8,433, 900 bales, the
department of agriculture placed
this years acreage at 26,5l9, Zoo.
reduction of 2S.4 per cent. or
1924 ZOO acres, from that in
cultivation a year ago, and the
smallest. since 1900. Production
on this estimate will be less than
in any year for more than a
quarter of century, the last
smaller crop having been that of
1895, when the output was 7,l6l,.
600 bales.
The condition of the crop was
poorer June 25 than on that date
III any year during the last 20.
This is attributed to an adversely
late wet spring, the presence of
the boil weevil and use of one
third less fertilizer than the av-
erage for the last four or five
years.
The acreage this year is the
smallest since 1900. and never
before, according to the depart
ment of agriculture, has there
been so great a change from one
year to another in acreage as
there has been from last year to
this.

record Of many things started and
nothing accomplished. the Re.
publican leaders fear the lash of
public opinion. :.
president Harding has no pol.
icy; he drifts from day to day,
nopmg something will turn up.
Some OF his friends are tired of
such drifting and talk about him
in private.
In the senate Monday Senator
harrison OF Mississippi criticised
him Tor interfering with the plans
OF Congress on the soldiers bo.
nus. In the house he and his
party were roasted for offering
a tariff that would pay off cam
paign debts and press down OH

clamoring for money and business
interests are begging for def
nIte foreign policy. Senator Sim
mons is preparing to demand a

ance law passed at the 1921 ses-
sion OF the General Assembly con.
tains the following section rela-
tive to the employment of chill

GETS LOCAL OFFICE.
j. @. McElhaney Succeeds w. B.
Audrey as Fort Mill Postmaster.

Arorey. as Fort MIL Postmaster.
!. j. G. McElhaney Saturday re-
ceived telegram from Hubert
Work, first assistant postmaster
general, Washington, stating that
he had been appointed acting
postmaster of Fort Mill and au-
thorizing him to take charge of
the office at once. The telegram
was followed by a confirmatory
letter which was received by Mr..
McElhaney Sunday.
Saturday afternoon w. B. Ar
drey, acting postmaster, also re-
celved a letter from the first as
slstant postmaster general mott
Tying him of Mr.. McElhaney s
appointment. Monday joint
telegram was sent by Mr.. Audrey
and Mr.. McElhaney to the divis-
ion superintendent of mails in
Atlanta requestin that an inspec-
tor be sent to Fort Mill to check
up the records of the office so
that the transfer could be made
on a basis satisfactory to all con-
cerned. The inspector is expect.
ed to reach Fort Mill within the
week and as soon as his work is
completed Mr.. McElhaney will
assume the duties of postmaster.
Several weeks ago the state
ment was made in The Times
that Mr. McElhaney was an ap-
pilcant for the local postmaster
ship and that he had secured the
Endorsement OF Joe w. Tolbert,
Republican national committees
nlen for South Carolina. There
was therefore no surprise occa-
stoned by the announcement a
few days ago that he had been
appointed acting postmaster. The
presumption in Fort Mill is that
the appointment will stand until
a permanent head for the office
is recommended to the president
by the civil service commission,
following competitive examina.
ton.
Mr.. MeElhaney will be the fifth
postmaster Fort Mill has had in
the last half century. The late
Seth Hotchkiss held the office
from the close of the Civil war
until he was succeeded by Mrs.
Ia, IL. Drakeford during the first
administration of President Cleve-
land. Mrs. Drakeford was post
master for several years and was
in turn succeeded by B. H. Mas
sey, who resigned July l, 1920.
w. B. Ardrey then became act
ing postmaster and has since held
the office. The appointment of
Mr.. McElhaney appears to be the
first instance in which Republi-
can leaders of the State have in
terested themselves in the selec-
ton of a postmaster for Fort
Mill.

Many Potato Patches.

3. The sweet potato acreage in
both the town of Fort Mill and
township outside the town has
been greatly increased this year
over that of any former year.
Many people have patches for the
first time this year and in the
lower section of the township a
number Of farmers are growing
sweet potatoes for commercial
purposes. If the venture proves
successful, the acreage will be
largely increased another year, it
is said. A storage house soon is
to be built for the potatoes,
which will be cured according to
the formula recommended by
Clemson college.
