Much interest is centering on the re-
suit of the presidents call for the re-
convening of congress today for the
purpose of trying to arrive at some
kind of an agreement for a settlement
of the strike. Most of tn eRepublican
congressman who are away from
Washington are fighting for their po-
litical lives and they do not relish the
idea of being called back at this time.
In many districts the labor question is
the livest of all live issues. and not
many candidates who are offering for
reelection relish the idea of having to
take action that might be regarded as
inimical to the rights of labor. How
ever, it is expected that with the help
Of congress the president may be able
to do something to clear up the present
intolerable situation.

was not the least chance of the French
government accepting such an idea, or
seriously considering it. Consequent
ly, the negotiations between the French
and British are at a standstill. The
Italian delegation shares the French
view completely; the Belgians less so
because Belgian interests in repara-
tions are protected by priorities.

BY THE Way

There is an opinion current that,
county expenses might be cut down
just a mite by doing away with the
services of the farm demonstration
agent and the woman's home demon
stration agent another year. While
Candidate w. A. Bolin is the only
| legislative candidate who has so far
stated from the stump that he favors
doing away with the two offices, 1t is
understood that there are others that
are pretty nearly of the same mind.
Reports from several of the counties
where demonstration agents are en-
ployed this year, is that they will not
be employed for another year. On the
other hand it is reported that Repre-
sentative W. Il. Bradford of Fort Mill
is being rather StrcnuOusly opposed for
rc-eiection because he refused to sup
Dor. a proposal last year TO employ
"boll weevl" farm demonstration
agent at a salary OF $1,000 year TO
come off the tax payers Of York
county.
There is more or less difference Of
opinion among farmers of the county
as to- whether or not the boil weevil
can do damage to cotton whom the cot-
stage. Some argue that the weevil can
destroy the cotton at this stage and
say that they have found numerous
spccklcd bollS containing weeVlls.
Others say that the cotton is perfectly
safe by the time the bolls have reach
cd that stage.
A road force is employed in repairing
the road between Glover and Bethany
by Hcnry's Knob. 1t is proposed to
plOw uD the surface in order that the
ruts and bumps may be smoothed out
and thus the road put in first class
shape again. Just a few rough places

the road from Glover to the home Of

Farmers of the Glover section who
have planted more than 100 acres in

are looking pretty good at this stage
and that in some instances they are

He admitted that it seemed
Proftless.
GLADLY he'd have gone away,

He was weary Of the clang
And the rush and slam and bang

He was peeved. and had a taste
