The Yorkville Cotton Oil Com
pany expects to install it's new ice

The Yorkville High School base
ball team Is scheduled to play Glover

Local dealers who handle garden

y The Associate Reformed Prebyte-
rian congregation has installed a piano
with which to lead the singing, instead

The Jamison bakery is making
good in giving the home folks as good
bread as is to be had anywhere. Many
consumers say it is the best bread to

loaves a day.
give would like for automobile
drivers to learn to stop where they
are when they hear the fire SIREN"
said Chief Of Police Steele yester-
day. Automobile drivers who hear
the siren can not know whether or not
the fire truck is coming on the street
on which they are driving so the best
thing for them to do is to come to n
stand still"
There was n double test of the new
electric fire alarm siren last Saturday,
one at noon in accordance with the
previously announced plan Of Mr..
Faulkner, and the other shortly after
o'clock in the evening because of an
oil stove blaze in the home of Mr.. r. X.
Thomasson on South Congress street.
The noon test was highly satisfactory
in that the weird shrek of the whistle,
arising above the din Of other noises,
made itself heard throughout the entire
town and into the outskirts and be-
yond; but causing no excitement on
account Of previous notice. The sec
ond alarm created the usual commo-
tion incident to fire danger, and when
the fire truck appeared q minute or
two later it was manned by a half doz-
en- or more firemen ready for instant
duty.
- DR.. Hayden of the state board Of
health inspected the children in the
white and colored schools of Yorkville
yesterday for vaccination. 1t was said
that DR.. Hayden found a number of
children in the tenth and eleventh
grades Of the white school who had
not been vaccinated and about 100
children in the negro school. An Al
spectiOn of the school at the Cannon
Mill showed that all children there
were vaccinated. DR.. Hayden told the
school authorities he would give them
until Monday to have all children vac
cinated. The health officer attended
a meeting of the town council yester-
day afternoon at which he addressed
them on the state laws governing
health and especially in regard to
smallpox vaccination. Declaring that
the chairman of the local board has
more power than a king, he insisted
that council pass a special ordinance
requiring vaccination Of all school

There are rumors from Washington
Of wholesale stealing from the bonds
and notes in the stocks Of the bureau
of engraving and printing. The stock
of Federal Reserve notes that should be
in the bureau should aggregate more
than one billion two hundred and fifty
millions. Also there are hundreds OF
millions of dollars worth Of Liberty
bonds. 1t is rumored that immense
amounts in both notes and bonds are
missing. 1t is officially declared that
the government has no knowledge OF
any shortage; but a complete count is
now in progress, while the 5000 or
more employees of the bureau are out
of work until further notice. 1t is eX-
pected that it will be a week or ten

proposition is safely over in York

the proposition over are the, farmers
who have given evidence Of their abil-

The history of South Carolina, by
VIM. Gilmore Simms, edited by Mary
c. Simms Oliphant, granddaughter OF
the author, and revised up to date, has
just come from the press in Greenville.
and is now ready for distribution.
This revised edition contains many
new maps and Illustrations, and al
though more especially intended for
sixth grade use in the public schools,
is we'll worthy of the careful perusal
Of all South Carolinians, as being cal
culated to give them much worth while
information about their state that will
be new to most Of them. The author
of this history, William Gilmore,
Simms, was, in his day, the leader of
American letters and, in his particular
field-history and historical romance
has lost but little to this day, except
perhaps that his works are still more
generally read in the parts Of the coun-
try where people read than in South
Carolina where the people do not read.
This school history covers the story Of
the state from the first settlement up
till now. In style and purpose it fol-
laws most conscientiously the projec-
tion of the author in the earlier period
Of the life of the state, and shows de-
velopment rather than deviation from
original principles. The story Of the
state is delightfully."- told in both words
and pictures, and it is u dull sixth
grade pupil who would fail TO find it Of
interest Almost any reading adult
could go through all Of its pages with
out being willing to put it down to the
end. This is a book that should be in
every home.

only to the eighteen congressman

of the cooperative marketing contract

he actually makes. If he signs for

no bones were broken and barring a
number of bruises the young lady was
getting along nicely this afternoon.

and when he first saw Miss Elise she
was directly in front Of the car, which
was moving slowly. She was knocked

her. Every attention was giver the

charged with carrying pistol. Several
officers were in Bullock's Creek town

for moonshiners when Dock rode near
