sSundny School aRally Day..

Annual Rally Day" exercises were
held last Sunday morning by the sun
day school, of the Fort Mill Presbyte-
rian church at the hour OF the usual
morning services. A special pro-
gram, consisting principally of songs
and recitations, had been prepared
under the direction of F.. NJ, Mack,
superintendent, and was participated
n by pupils Of the several grades. The
part Of the pupils of the primary
grades, under Miss Marjorie Mills; was
especially pleasing to the congrega-
tion and exhibited evidence of care
dul training. Among the musical Sc
iections were several choruses and
one quartet OF mixed voices. The at
tendance at the Sunday school was
the largest of the year, the enroll
ment showing 2l3 present, and the
offering at both services amounted to
about $50.

TOWN LEVY INCREASED.

Fort Mill property owners will this
year be called upon to pay a tax Of
20 mills for support Of the town gov
erDment, against the levy OF Is mills
for the same purpose last year, ac-
cording to an ordinance adopted by
the town council Tuesday night.
Speaking last night OF the increase
In the levy, Arthur c. Lytle, mayor.
said council was forced to raise more
revenue to meet Indebtedness incur
red by former council, to retire on
January 1 a street bond of $1,000
which will then mature and to secure
funds with which to finance the sani-
tary. department. which, prior to this
year, had been supported by monthly
or quarterly. collections from prop
erty owners.
Mayor Lytle also said since the
present council went into office the
first Of the year more than therusual
annual amount had been spent on
street improvements, that the streets
OF the town were now better lighted
than at any time in the past, and
that the police protection afforded
the public was more adequate than
1t formerly was.

ROAD FUNDS EXHAUSTED.

While the Fort Mill township road
commission apparently is still at
work on the roads of the township,
there is none OF the stuff which Da-
vid Harum called "go-out-and-git-it-
with hicfr-to-fetch-it," at its disposal
in the country treasury and the law
does not empower the commission to
borrow funds with which to con-
tiuue operations.
Saturday q statement of the COM
missions finances was secured by
The Times from the county treasur-
er's office which shows that on Sep
tember 15 1t had balance of SIS.
to its credit, but that since then
claims in excess Of the balance have
been presented for payment which the
county treasurer has refused to ap-
prove. ..-
On July / there was in the treas
ury to the credit of the commission
$IS4.27, from which claims amount
Ing to $76S.55 have been paid. There
Will be small amount placed to the
credit Of the commission during the
next two or three months from past
due tax collections, but this sum will
not be- sufficient to continue the work
on the roads. The commission there
fore appears to be at it's rows end
for some time unless the members
continue the work at considerable
financial risk to themselves.

NO SHIPS YET sCRAppEp.
Republican Boast Of Economy Awaits
9u0uIIIJInJ


The one achievement of the Hard
ing administration about which Re-
pubiicans have boasted loudest and
longest - the disarmament confer
ence-has SO far proved to be only a
fiivver, says Washington special to
The Times. The avowed purpose OF
the conference was to reduce gov
ernment expenditures by reducing
armament, and when Mr.. Hughes
proposed his plan for scrapping
number Of first line battleships he
was acclaimed great statesman.
The trusting people foresaw an i'm
mediate reduction in government tax
alton and believed that the first stem
had been taken for a general reduc-
tion Of ornaments by all the nations
The Washington disarmament con-
ference, however, like most Of the
acts of the Harding administration,
only raised the hopes Of the people
without fulflllment 1t served the
temporary political purpose of help
ing to restore a fast waning conf
dence in the chief executive. But no
battleships have been scrapped. no
expenditures have been reduced by
reason thereof, and the public l., now
informed by the secretary of the ma
Wy that no battleships will be scrap
ped until the treaty has been rati-
fled by the last of the subscribing
powers. Neither France nor Italy
has ratified the treaty, and SO far as
N
been brought to bear Oh them to do
so. Mr.. Hughes has been on an ex-
cursion to South America; MIR. Har-
ding has been busy with Ohio pol
itics.
1t is not strange that the admin
istration has shown no solicitude
about accomplishing practical re-
suits through the complete ratifica-
ton OF these treaties. Mr.. Harding
and his advisers were long opposed
To the disarmament conference, cali
ed into being by resolution Of SEN
ator borah and supported by Demo-
Gratis and progressive Republicans.
When it was certain the resolution
would pass both houses the opposi-
tion was withdrawn. Having prof.
tied politically for the time being,
the administration apparently has let
the whole disarmament, matter drift
Just as the administration itself has
been drifting.
The people reposed great conf
dence III the work Of the disarma-
ment conference and were led by the
administration to expect immediate
and great results. They have been
sadly disappointed just as they have
been disappointed each time they
have believed in the glowing prom
ises of this Republican administra-
ton. only to find in the end barren
results

FIGHT WEEVIL NOW.

One Of the most effective steps rec
commended Tor the control OF the
boil weevil is the early destruction
OF cotton stalks. Just as soon as the
cotton can be picked, farmers are
urged to go into the cotton field and
either turn under the cotton stalks
or tear them up with piow.
The boil weeyil. can not feed on
dead cotton stalks. when their food
is destroyed they migrate to where
they can feed or else 60 into winter
quarters. Whether they are thus
driven away from the farm or driven
into winter quarters the probabilities
or their damaging the cotton next
seasan are greatly reduced. ~
In this section of the cotton belt 1t
is possible to gather much OF the cot
ton early enough to permit OF the
destruction of the cotton stalks be-
lore killing rrost destoys them.
fhree to four weeks earlier in going
into winter quarters means that
the number of weevilsl killed from
starvation and cold will be greatly
increased.
b. 1t Is the last weevils that go into
winter quarters that cause damage
to the cotton crop the following year.
II all Of these were starved out by
destroying the old cotton stalks early
there would be an. end of the weevil,
1T Is claimed. While 1t cannot be ex-
pected that the old stalks will ever
be destroyed completely enough to
eradicate thu weevii, 1t is true that
to the extent that this Is done the
number Of weevils and their damage
viii be correspondingly reduced.
Chopping down stalks leaves stubs
that sDrout new growth on which the
weeyH feeds. Therefore the only safe
way is to uproot the stalks or else,
with the aid of drag chain, turn
them completely under. So long as
there is green cotton left In the f.eid
the weevil will be found. It will
crawl into a lock OF cotton or half
opened boil to keep warm and come
out when the sun shines to feed ON
the green stuff. The best authorities
urge the farmers not to burn their
old cotton stalks, but to let them iAe
on the ground and add to the soil the
organic matter which 1t needs.

Steam Plants for Power Company.

SecunA MutS lOr ZIOWer Company.
The construction of two steam
plant additions that will further pro-
vide against contingencies of low
water and other emergencies will be
started at once by tie Southern
rover company, according to a recent
announcement of w. S. Lee OF Char
lotte, vice president and chief engin-
eer. Contracts have been closed for
the necessary equipment and work
on the plants will begin ut once. 1t
was estimated that they will cost
over million dollars. The two ad-
diions are to the Mount Holly steam
plant, 10000 horsepower, and the Emo
steam plant, 10000 horsepower. This
VIII more than double the capacity
OF the company's existing steam
plants and will insure for the in
dUstries, cities and towns of the two

company for power as nearly 100
per cent service as possible, it is
claimed.

VERY SENSIBLE

The action Of the National Retail Dry
Goods Association at it's recent conven-
tion in New York in appointing stand
ing committee of merchants to keep in
touch with committees of agricultural
organizations brings hope of some new
things worth while. This committee was
authorized to be ready at ali times to
meet with representatives of agricultur-
al organizations "for the purpose of dis
cussing and developing points of mutual
interest between the American farmer
and the American retail distributor"
and to develop 'closer relations with the
American farm organizations. When
one recalls the suspicion between mer-
chants and farmers organizations few
years ago, which was based largely on
the attitude of the latter towards mid
die men," this effort of the great nation
al body of retailers to work with agri-
cultural associations indicates swing of
sentiment in desirable direction.
Spokesman for farmers, including the
secretary of agriculture and the presi-
dent of the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, occupied prominent places on
the program of the retailers convention,
and there were many signs that the fact
that their prosperity is indissolubly link
ed with that of the farmer, who furnish
about 40 per cent. of the country's pur-
chasing power, is now fully appreciated
by the merchants.

Greatest Foe $.

Every household should have its life
guards The need of them is especially
great when diseases, the greatest foes of
life. find allies in the very elements, as
colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip, and
pneumonia do in this stormy month.
The best way to guard against these
diseases is to strengthen the system with
Hoods Sarsaparila-one of the greatest
of all life guards. 1t removes the con-
ditions in which these diseases make
their most successful attack, gives vgor
and tone to the vital organs and func-
tlons, and imparts a general warmth to
the blood.
Remember, the weaker the system the
greater the exposure to disease. Hoods
Sarsaparilla makes the system strong.
If the liver is torpid or the bowels are
sluggish, causing biliousness or constipa-
tion Hoods Pills will be found of great
service. They are especially made to be
taken with Hoods Sarsaparilla.
