H. C. OF L. IS NO JOKE THESE DAYS -------------------- High Cost of Living Making Itself Manifest—What Are we Coming to? -------------------- With milk toast at 15 cents and eggs sky high, the man who feeds at the local beaneries has cause to gasp and exclaim "What are we coming to!" Yes, the price of the eats that are served over the counter of these places have been advancing steadily for some time and, according to a proprietor of one of the things, the race has just started good and there is no telling what we are coming to. Formerly, the busy office man or clerk could drop into a meal house and eat five regular foods on one meal ticket. Now it seems to take five meal tickets to only one regular meal.
When eggs went up a great many wars that hit as hard as may be expected for there are other things on the menu that might possibly be sustituted for the [breakfast?]—a cheese sandwich and a little white juice from the cow would satisfy the noon-day hunger. But alas! Them was the happy days! If you eat cheese on toast now you come across with three nickels—three round American [blurry] and if you buy a little milk toast for the kid, you'll [blurry] over exactly three more [orbs?].
If the stenographer from the office next door chooses to drop in while you are indulging in a little hot dog and a glass of water (which is the only thing that hasn't gone up tho you have to spend a couple of bits before the waiter will let you have a glass) your visions of food for the next three weeks vanishes, especially if she happens to be fond of chicken or roast pork, for these edibles are fast becoming Carnegie delicacies and are making themselves scarce in the life of the average man. And while it is really a sacrilege to mention a price in connection with such a delicacy, it might be whispered to you that an extremely small dish of roast chicken can be obtained for the exorbitant lay-out of 15 cents. Roast pork, roast lamb, roast veal and roast beef have all advanced in accordance with the custom, not to mention the sky-ward lump of the prices on steak and eggs.
Of course, the stenog is never hungry—that's what they all say. But one could hardly swear to the diabolical accuracy of that when the bill falls due and the poor boob feels like falling thru. It's easy enough to be pleased when the world moves on like a song; but the man worth while is the man who can smile when he eats with his girl along.
And eight along this general line while [blurry] the old H. C. of L., we could do no better than to quote from the poetic genius, Laura Simmons, a revised version of the [blurryblurry] as she broke forth with it in the latest issue of the Parisienne magazines. Hold on to you seats. It [blurry] thusly:
The cash I spend on meat each day Evokes a string of words from me; I count them over—every bill I pay My grocery! My grocery!
Each roast a graft each steak a snare To make my life one deadly grind; I add each list unto the end and there My finish fine!
Oh, tenderloins, that hiss and burn Our duty plain we cannot doubt To yield each slice and strive at least to learn To go without! ---------------------------------------- HOW MORRIS PLAN RECEIVED ITS START.
There is pack of the Morris Plan of industrial banks, on of which has just begun business in Greenville a story that reads like a romance. The central figure is Arthur J. Morris, the founder of the credit and savings plan which bears his name, who has the vivid satisfaction of seeing grow into a reality of the most substantial kind of idea that he upheld all obstacles and that is today the keystone of the Morris Plan companies—character is the basis of the credit.
When Mr. Morris was a student of economics at the University of Virginia the germ of the idea of industrial banking occurred to him. In the busy years that followed, while he was practicing law at Norfolk, Va., the idea was always kept before him and all the time he could spare was given to its development. It became the big thing in his life. It means the democracy of banking— the extension of legitimate borrowing faculties to the nine tenths of the country's population that had depended on personal generosity of friends—in the hour of financial need.
The first Morris Plan Bank was organized in an experimental way in Norfolk in 1916. It proved to be a success even beyond Mr. Morris's expectations. As the idea grew into shape and the kinks were smoothed out, Morris Plan banks were started in Atlanta, Richmond and in Washington.
And the amazing success of the Morris Plan demonstrates beyond a doubt that there was a real and a vital need for people's banks. At the present time there are fifty nine Morris Plan banks in operation and more than twenty million of dollars will be loaned this year. The New York bank in its fiscal year placed two [an da] half millions of dollars in loans from $20 to $1,000.
The distinguishing feature of the Morris Plan is that it puts the lending of money to borrowers without security on a business basis. It is not a charity, but a business proposition. It is founded as the underlying conviction that character is an asset and that people are innately hones. Its loans from uncollected notes are negligible—or less than one quarter of one percent.
Like the Morris Plan company of Greenville, Morris Plan companies wherever located are always controlled by local interests. The company that has been organized in Greenville is managed and controlled by the citizens of this community. The Industrial Finance Corporation of New York is a minority stockholder and [cut off]

PYTHIAN SISTERS BE FORMED HERE -------------------- State Officials of Carolinas Arrive in Greenville Tomorrow Morning. -------------------- The Pythian Sisters, an organization which is a ladies auxiliary to the Knights of Pythias, is to be formed here tomorrow afternoon at the Blue Ridge lodge in the Mauldin building, corner of Main and Washington streets. Mrs. Blanch K. Meyers, state organizer for the Carolinas, will arrive in the city tomorrow morning from Asheville and will meet with the ladies only at [2?]:30 in the hall tomorrow afternoon.

WEAR THOSE SHOES THAT TORTURED YOU -------------------- Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up a corn so it lifts out. -------------------- You corn pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of Freezone applied directly on a tender, [blurry] corn, stops soreness at once and soon the corn loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A quarter of an ounce of Freezone costs very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to inflame or even irritate the surrounding tissue or skin.—Adv. ---------------------------------------- REV. SILAS DAVIS TO CALIFORNIA -------------------- Rev. Silas Davis, who for the past seven months has been pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist church here, and who resigned about a month ago on account of failing health, left with his wife today for San Fernando, Califoria, where he hopes to regain his health.
Silas Davis came to Greenville in April, from Oklahoma, to take charge of the local Seventh Day Adventist church, at the request of the Rev. [Carlye?] B. Haymes, who founded the church here, and has remained as the pastor of the church since then. He was well liked by his numerous friends here, and they regret to see him depart, but as his former healthy state may be regained it was necessary.
Elder Hanson, of Oklahoma has taken Rev. Davis' pastorate. ---------------------------------------- POLICE CAT FIRED -------------------- Patrolman Makes Charges After Detective Work That Solves a Mystery.
Miss Kitty Feline of the Bayonne, N. J. police department will be dishonorably discharged today on charges of neclect of duty.
For many months Kitty has been the headquarters house cat and until yesterday bore a spotless reputation as a member of the force. Then appeared Patrolman Martin Lautermilch, who deposed that for several nights he was unable to sleep because of high goings on in the prisoner's kitchen.
Allowing that it was a rat, Lautermilch put Kitty on guard, but the noise continued, so on Saturday night he went on the job with Kitty, armed with a nightstick and a flashlight.
About midnight, Lautermilch says, a rat was heard nibbling at a piece of cheese placed as bait for him. The policeman avers he turned on his flashlight and was about to use his club when Kitty and the rat began to frolic about the floor, rolling over and playfully boxing each other's ears. Astounded, the cop was about to cut in some club work, when Miss Kitty plucked up the rat and toted him back to his hole—and exit. Today there will be a new police cat.—New York World. ---------------------------------------- MARRIAGE LICENSES

CAR RUNS INTO SKELETON FRAME POE CROSSING -------------------- Passengers and Crew Have Almost Miraculous Escape From Serious Injury Early This Morning. -------------------- Passengers on the belt line car that left Main and Washington streets at 4 in the morning almost miraculously escaped serious injury at the Poe Mill crossing when the car skidded on the wet track and ran into the large skeleton frame work erected there for construction work on the viaduct over which the Southern Railway tracks will run. Four passengers were on the car at the time of the accident, one lady and three sons, none of whom were injured.
J. G. Willis was the motorman on this car which was the first to leave town this morning but Mr. Willis was not running the car at the time as W. D. Robinson, a brakeman from the shops, was setting the brake which was reported to have been too tight. Mr. Robinson is an experienced man and when he realized that the car was skidding on the rather steep incline, he immediately reversed in an attempt to stop the wheels. On account of the construction work, the trolley wire is down for some distance and when the wire ended the car skidded down into the frame structure, striking the big posts which were not put securely into the ground, and knocked them down, breaking four window glasses and a door on the car. Otherwise the car was undamaged and neither the passengers nor the crew, of which Ed Chiles was conductor, were injured.
The schedule was interrupted by the accident and cars were running on time shortly after it occured. Fortunately, no one was near when the heavy frame work fell for it might have resulted seriously, or fatally, for them. ---------------------------------------- RANDOM NEWS

T. Mills, Local Real Estate and Stocks Dealer, Expects 1917 to be One of the Best Years in Real Estate Fields. -------------------- "I am looking forward to one of the best years we've had in a long time in real estate circles," was the comment this morning by E. T. Mills, well known dealer in stocks and real estate.
Besides prosperous condition of affairs generally, Mr. Mill believes the establishment and operation of the federal farm loan [brake?], under the rural credits act, will operate to make money freer and cheaper in this city, and thus will make possible more extensive operations in the real estate world.
The operation of the farm loan banks, Mr. Mills believes, will lure back to banking instituion and private lenders, fully $200,000 in Greenville county now employed in farm loans at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. The rural credits act permits farmers to borrow money to pay off mortgage indebtedness and will permit them to get the money at not more than 6 per cent annual interest. The loans thus replaced will be turned back to local institutions and will probably result, Mr. Mills thinks, in lowering interest rates. ---------------------------------------- CLAIMS HE IS READY TO CHECK [ABRIGHT'S] SPEED -------------------- `Cyclone` Mitchell of Baltimore to Wrestle Greenville Man Saturday Night -------------------- Word was received yesterday from Billy Mitchell which assures the fans of Greenville "some match" when the famous Baltimore and [Con?] Albright wrestle at the [rGand] Opera House next Saturday night for the best two out of three falls, to a finish. Mitchell says he is going after Albright with gloves off and does not expect to let the Greenville man get away with such rough tactics which he demands the latter has used in some of his matches here. [Albrigt] seemed somewhat offended when shown Mitchell's message and denied that he had ever been the sort to start rough play. "Nevertheless, I'll be on the job for Mr. Mitchell or any other man," he added cooly.
It was rumored around yesterday that Mitchell was induce to come here by Jack Jordan, who received a black eye and who suffered a sprained shoulder in a recent match with Albright. At any rate, the promising mat artist from the Oriole City wire the promoters here to ascertain if Albright could make it interesting for him and stated his desire to wrestle the Greenville Favorite at some future date.
The date has been arranged. Saturday at 1 p. m. is the time and the Grand Opera House is the place. During the evening battle royal will also furnish thrills for the crowd. ---------------------------------------- College Students Are Welcomed Back

---------------------------------------- COUNCIL MEETS TODAY TO PASS HOSPITAL LAW -------------------- Ordinance Relative to Board of Commissioners to be Introduced by Special Committee—Probably Take Steps Toward Purchasing Plant. -------------------- A special meeting of the city council has been called for 6 o'clock this afternoon for the purpose of taking action with regard to the city hospital.
A proposed ordinance establishing and outlining the duties of a board of hospital commissioners, the members of which were elected at a recent meeting of the council, will be introduced, it is understood, by the special committee consisting of Aldermen A. H. Wells, K. C. Harvley and R. I. McDavid, appointed for this purpose by Mayor Webb some weeks ago. A meeting of the committee will probably be held shortly before the council meeting to consider the ordinance before it is submitted to council.
The special meeting of the council will probably take some steps looking toward the purchase of the hospital plant on Memminger street from the Greenville hospital association. A proposition from the hospital directors to transfer the property to the city at what is considered a very reasonable figure, has been before the council for some weeks past.
Funds for the purchase and improvement of the hospital have been received following the delivery of the recent issue of municipal bonds, it is understood. ---------------------------------------- THREE HOUR CASE BEFORE MAGISTRATE -------------------- A case of petty [larcey], that burned three hours came up before Magistrate John M. Daniel yesterday afternoon. Six lawyers were in the case and two defendants of J. C. Estes and A. T. Teague, both of Judson Mill who were charged with petty larceny, Teague being also charged with having received stolen goods. Both were found not guilty.
Teague, it was brought out in the testimony, asked Estes for a [blurry] cloth to use as a rag about his work in the Judson Mill on December 29. Estes gave him about four yards of cloth that had some defect in the weaving. Teague carried this away from the mill, as he said, for safekeeping, was arrested with it on the charge and brought before the magistrate.
Both the defendents were found not guilty and the charge against them was dismissed. Bonham and Price and [Theaquin? Le Grom?] were attorneys for the defendent Teague; F. K. Earle for the defendant Estes and Mosman and Hart for the State. ---------------------------------------- EIGHT REALTY DEEDS FILED -------------------- Eight realty deeds were filed with the register Thursday, were as follows:

Waldrop, the road foreman who is being tried in the sessions court on a charge of obtaining money under false pretense, is well under way in the sessions court, and witnesses for the State were still being examined when the noon adjournment hour came today.
Several witnesses testified at the trial today, among whom was J. W. Norwood, chairman of the highway commission who was pledged on the stand at 11 o'clock. Mr. Norwood, on being questioned, testified that the foreman of a road gang was responsible for the time of the gang.

He and Mr. Patton went together to the camp on October the [14?], the pay day following the 20th of September.
On this date Mr. Norwood said the irregularities were found in the pay roll of Mr. Patton. Details were [gone?] told concerning the amount paid to each man and the amount due.
This trial was begun on Wednesdady morning and has already taken up a day of the court. When the court adjourned for dinner, Mr. Earle, a State witness, was on the stand. ---------------------------------------- P. O. AFFAIR IS COMING UP SOON -------------------- Some early developments are expected in the Greenville postmastership situation, and the matter will be taken up during the next few days in Congress, according to a statement understood to have been made by Congressman Sam J. Nicholls in a letter to a Greenville friend who is already in touch with the congressman on the post office situation.
Just what developments are anticipated is unknown here, though it is known that Mr. Nicholls is leaving no stone unturned to take the office from Mr. Traxter, the present incumbent. ---------------------------------------- Breaks Arm While Cranking His Auto -------------------- J. Fred Ashmore, of Greenville, who is the chief night clerk at Hotel Imperial, suffered the misfortune of breaking his arm while cranking his automobile to drive it under a shed at his home on Pendleton street.

There were present at this meeting: Supt. Bond of the Citadel, President Currell, Johnson and Riggs of the university, Winthrop and Clemson; Supt. J. E. [Swearingen] and M. R. Rivers, represending the State Board of education, and A. D. Oliphant, representing the State board of charities and corrections. Mr. Rivers is chairman of a special committee of the State board of education which will soon meet to consider and suggest desirable changes in the laws governing scholarships and free tuition.
The purpose of this conference of college presidents was to consider fully these matters and, without in any sense commiting their respective boards of trustees, to give to the State board of education and its committee the benefit of their judgment and opinion. After a full discussion, in which all present participated, the following resolutions were adopted as embodying the personal views of the State college presidents in regard to existing scholarship laws.
"1. That the scholarship examinations for Winthrop college be held on the third Friday in June, instead of the first Friday in July, as heretofore; and the scholarship examinations for the Citadel, Clemson college and the University of South Carolina on the fourth Friday in June, instead of the second Friday
[article continues on column 7, under Marklay Hardware ad]
in July; and that the names [of the] successful competitors together [with] the financial statements [filed with] them, should be submitted [to the] State board of charities and [cut off-] tion on or before July 15.
"2. That the faculties of [the re-] spective State Institutions, on [the] committees as may be delegat[ed to] the respective boards of tr[ustees] should make a full report as [the] examination standing of these [com-] petitors for scholarships who [took] the examination together [with] such recommendations as they care to make to the State bo[ard of] education and that the State [board] of charities and corrections [cut off] make the report as the [cut off] status of applicants who passed [the] examination and those who a[re ap-] plying for free tuition direct [the] State board of education and [to] the State board of education [cut off] [blurry] the question of free t[uition] and the award of scholarships, [pro-] vided in the constitution of [the] State."
As a substitute for all existing [cut off] tion and scholarship laws, the [re-] ference adopted the following [ex-] pression of opinion:
"1. That there should be [free] tuition for all students at State [in-] stitutions for higher learning, [and] for professional students in [cut off] medicine, etc."
"2. That all scholarships, [cut off] those at the Citadel and the [cut off] agricultural scholarships at Cle[mson] should be terminated at the [cut off] tion of present tenures and [no fur-] ther free scholarships be given cut off]"
"3. That in lieu of free sc[holar-] ships there should be establish[ed] the funds of the State treas[ury] loan fund for the use of in[cut off] students; said fund to be admi[nister-] ed as is usual with student [cut off] funds." ---------------------------------------- John C. Bolt, buyer for the [cut off] company of Gray Court, was [in the] city yesterday, on his return [from] Atlanta.
