The islands, which are populated by Greeks, were occupied by Italy during the war with Turkey over Tripoli. In accord with the provisions of a joint resolution passed by the last session of the general assembly, Governor Cooper has announced the appointment of a memorial commission two members from each congressional district to have charge of the eroction of a memorial building in honor of the white soldiers, sailors, marines and others who served in the world war. Another commission to have charge of the erection of a memorial to negros will soon be appointed. The joint resolution provided fwther that $100,000 should be available from the atjito tPAAjjiirv for each memorial. when popular subscription should have reached a figure considered adequate and that some of the members should be women. The commission follows: First district, J. H. Holmes, Charleston and Mrs. Joseph Sprott, Manning; second district, Mrs. C. R. Wilson, Allendale, and P. F. Henderson, Aiken; third district,, A. Foster McKlssick, Greenwood, and Mrs Frank McGowan, Laurens: fifth district. Colonel W. W. Lewis, Yorkville, and Mrs. Leroy Springs, Lancaster; sixth district, W. B. Fletcher, McColl, and Colonel J.

D., of Staunton, Va, was elected moderator at the afternoon session last Thursday of the fifty-ninth General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church in New Orleans. He succeeds Rev. James I. Vance, D. D., of Nashville. Steady progress towards evangelization of the world was reflected in the report of the committee on foreign missions submitted to tKa iranornl naoomhlv Thp nhliroh now has 185 organized congregations in the I foreign field, it was reported, working amid a population estimated at 31,846,127. The amount contributed by the Southern Church during the year was $791,440, the largest on record. Cost of carrying on missionary work exceeded the receipts of $77,327, due largely to increased cost of silver in China, high rates of discounts and necessary . increase for salaries of missionaries and native workers. The committee on home missions of which Rev. S. L. Morris, D. D., of Atlanta, is secretary, submitted a report regarded as reflecting encouraging developments in that work. The amount subscribed for this work was $303,386, also the largest amount on record. The total number of home missionaries, who work among people on the frontier and in the mountains, among net groes, foreigners and other dependent and exceptional classes in the south is 701. Prevention of cotton growing for one year to eradicate the cotton boll weevil, which causes not less than $100,000,000 damages annually, is proposed by Representative Eli Futch, who introduced a concurrent resolution in the Florida house of representatives last Friday, with that object in view. The resolution provides that the federal secretary of agriculture be requested to recommend to congress and to the governors and legislatures of the cotton growing states the enactment of legislation to carry out the plans for a Sabbatical year for the cotton growing industry. The plan is endorsed by prominent cotton experts, scientists and economic entomologists. To carry out the proposal legislation would be necessary to prevent planting of cotton east of the Rocky Mountains in the boll weevil infested territory for a year, to finance the project, to provide for the accumulation of a supply of cotton and cotton products to meet market needs during the eradication year, and to provide against induction of the boll weevil into the United States after the eradication. The magnitude of the project makes it essential that it be under government jurisdiction, with the cotton growing states co-operating. The date would be set some years in advance so that enough cotton might be raised to uae ins woria over me oaubatical year. Stringent laws would be necessary to prevent growing of cotton in that year. Arrangements would have to be perfected for accumulation of large stores of seed, properly fumigated to elimate the boll weevil. Plant Commissioner Newell of Florida, leader in the fight against the citrus canker, which has been so successful, has endorsed the plan. Experts declare unless the boll weevil is eradicated the United States mayhave to depend on Egypt for long staple cotton. J. S. Wannamaker of South Carolina was chosen president of the new'v Amnrlhon Pnttnn AQQftciA. tion at a convention of the members at New Orleans, last Friday. Other officers elected were: John T. Scott, Houston, Texas first vice president, and W. C. Barrichman of Dallas, secretary. The treasurer will be chosen later, it was announced. An executive committee to work out details connected with the functions of the association was appointed as follows Arkansas, George L. Sands; Alabama, M. C. Allgood; Georgia, J. J. Brown. Mississippi. P. J*. Garner. Missouri, S. S. Barnes; North Carolina, L. Tomlinson; South Carolina, R. M. Mixon; Tennesee, J. r. Matthews; Texas, J. A. Thompson; Oklahoma, Dr. J. A. Whitehead; Louisiana, J. P. Ardis, In his inauguration speech Mr. Wannamaker charged that the millers of New England have reaped "enormous dividends" from their cotton products while the south was "left to starve on the crumbs that it might pick up from the industry." "The south has a vision and will never perish." he asserted. "This section is going to be the salvation of the nation. Are you going to be for the dollar or the man? By this I do not mean that we should attack legitimate enterprise and capital, and I know we have no sympathy for the wave of unrest and anarcny, fostered by the foreigners of other lands. Prices of cotton crops in the past have been based on slave labor. The Industry has blessed every section of the land except the south. Labor in the southland has been so low that it almost has been forced to steal to exist. Cotton today is worth 40 cents a pound. During last year it should have been 75 cents for the first six months and 40 for the remainder of the year." Mr. Wannamaker declared the New York cotton exchange "was responsible for much of the distressing conditions of the cotton industry in the south." "The cobwebs are being raised from our eye3," he said. "We are entering on a new era and it is up to us to work out our own salvation. The south may now see before it the dawn of freedom." One of the three American air * * * 1 Uf* XT aw planes riving' noais mai mi foundland last Friday evening on the third leg of their historic attempt to cross the Atlantic ocean reached the harbor of Horta, in the Azores at 9.20 o'clock Saturday morning. It was the NC-4 in command of Lieut. Commander Read, of New York, that made the trip successfully. The NC-1, in command of Lieut. Commander Patrick N. Belllger, of South Carolina, lost her way in a fog and was compelled to alight in the ocean at 11.40 o'clock on Saturday morning. Her crew of five men was picked up by the steamship Iona; but the airplane itself was badly wrecked while the Iona was trying to tow it into port. The NC-3 the flagship of the squadron in command of Lieut. Henry Towers of Rome, Ga was last heard of at about 5.15 Saturday morning, she also having lost her way in a fog. She was 350 miles from the Azores at the time. The official time of the NC-4 from Trepassey across twelve hundred miles of ocean to Horta, was fifteen hours and thirteen minutes. The navy department had lined the eea with war vessels about sixty miles apart in preparation for the flight, and as an extra precaution; but as Commander Towers had gotten 30C miles out of his course in the fog, he was beyond touch of these vessels. As soon as it was fully realized that he was, the vessels began to bear toward his last indicated location in a great semi-circle. Upon receiving news of the success of the NC-4. Harry G. Hawker and Frederick P. Raynham, who had for several weeks been waiting at St. Johns, Newfoundland, for weather suitable for a hop-off, determined to try it anyway. Raynham broke an axle of his starting truck and did not get any further- Hawker gol into the air and within six minutes was on his way for Ireland. Hawker and Raynham were in no way competing with the Americans. Theirs was to be non-stop flight clear across in competition for a prize of $50,000 cash (ITered by the London Daily Mail. Also of course, if Hawker wins in his gamble with death he will get riches and fame as the first man to cross the ocean in an airplane. IJotltviUr fnquim Entered at the Postofflce at Tcrk aa Hall Matter of the Second Ciaaa TUESDAY, MAY 20, 1919. Europeans were the first tp sail to America; but Americans were the first to fly to Europe. But while the airship goes the faster while it is going, it has not yet made the time across that is made by a fast steamer. The uncertainties of the airship are fully exemplified in the performance of the NC-4, which got to Trepassey under a cloud and to the Azores in a blaze of glory. There is bound to be more or less re-construction of this country along with the balance of the world, as the result of the wax. Our own opinion is that there is more or less need for such re-construction; but at the same time we think that the harder each individual works at productive industry while the re-construction is going on the better he will fare. The cotton conference in New Orleans on last Friday expressed itself as opposed to selling Germany another pound of cotton until she signs the peace treaty- That is a very patriotic resolution to say the least of it; but we fail to see where it was necessary, as this country is not likely to <lo business of any kind with Germany until after peace has been agreed upon. Protesting against the trade restrictions in the economic terms of the peace treaty. Count Brockdorff-Rantzau, of the German peace delegation in Paris, says that before the war, 15,000,000 of the empire's 67,000,000 population were depending upon foreign trade for a living; that Germany is no longer an agrarian country, and if the people are deprived of the right to trade they will be compelled to emigrate or starve. Pitching its vote solely on a basis ol its opinion of their respective qualifications of fitness and ability, The Enquirer desires to endorse Hon. J. E McDonald of Winnsboro, as the besi man for the Federal district judgeship made vacant by the death of Judge Johnson. As to whether Mr. McDonald is really an aspirant to the place we do not know; but we have an idea that even if he would like to have it ka An mnrs nlnne the line of let ting it come to him than going after it, But anyhow he would make an ideal successor for the most worthy man who has recently been removed from this high and honorable position bj death. Something of a row has been stirred up through a proposal of the secretary of war to sell in Europe about *250,000,000 worth of American meat, bought from the packers for the use of the army. This sale represents the entire American production for a period of about two years. It is being charged that the sale was made abroad so as to prevent disturbance of the high prices in America, and a congressional investigation is threatened. One of the excuses given' by the packers for the sale Is that the meat was put up in Dlain. unattractive packages that made it unsuitable for the American market, which is accustomed to pretty labels and the like. The answering argument is that millions of Americans who helped pay for this meat with their iaxes ought now to have the benefit of it at prices within the range of their ability to pay. The time limit within which the German plenipotentiaries must sign the peace terms, if they are going to sign, expires next Thursday. The treaty was given to the plenipotentiaries on Wednesday, May 7, and they were allowed fifteen days in which to make examinations and observations A number of protests have already been submitted; but to these the Allies have paid no attention. There hai been talk in Germar^ in the newspapers and among members of the government to the effect that Germany could not and would not s.ign the treaty; but this talk is regarded mainly as propaganda. The common beliel in Paris is tnat me uermans win sjeu There is very little concern about the matter, however, because in the evenl the treaty is not signed the Allies propose to immediately proceed to the occupation of the whole country. One of the important incidents anticipated in connection with the opening of congress yesterday was the presentation of Victor L. Berger, Socialist, ol Wisconsin, for membership, and th( Ars. t< question 01 wnai congress wuuiu uv. will be remembered that Berger is un der conviction for violation of the espionage act for seditious utterances ir connection with the war, etc. He was elected to congress after his convictiora His seating will be opposed on several grounds, mainly because he is undei conviction, and both Republicans anc Democrats were expected to take tht position that he is inelligible to membership in congress until he has answered the law. But also it is a facl that the offense for which he was convicted was of a political nature, and much consideration will have to b? given to the proposition that since h? was elected by his constituents in full knowledge of his status, to deny thost citizens their right of choice will be an exceedingly grave matter.

I The York Automobile association's r arrangements committee has advices from the war department, said Mayor Johnson yesterday, that encourages if ? to believe that it will be successful in i securing one or more airplanes for the ; occasion of the big good roads picnic to be held here on July 4. The subject is now up with the southern aviation field at imericufl, Ga. BAGGING THE STILLS Six whisky distilleries were captured i in York county during the week ervdIing last Saturday, two in Ebenezer township and four in Broad River township, and six men, an coiorea dux one, were arrested in connection with the various outfits. Magistrate Glenn and constable worked up the Ebeneaer cases, and ' Constable Johnson gave his assistance, ' and Magistrate R. L. A. Smith had the ; lead in the Broad River cases, and the , sheriff's office had more or less to dxi with all of the cases. The sheriff estimates that there are probably a hundred of these outfits in > operation in different parts of the county. A large per cent of the operatives are negroes; but a good many of 1 them are white. The output generally is of an inferior quality of low wine for which an old time moonshiner , would have scorned to be responsible, Indeed it lacks a great deal of com1 ing up to what the moonshiner desig. nated as "singlings." Although this stuff, which sells at $15 or $20 a gallon, is probably being made to a greater or less extent in ev ( ery part of the county, jusi ax. . present time Broad River township is believed by the authorities to have il on all other sections in the number ol ' people engaged in the businessHERE AND THERE J John R. Blair, county demonstration , agent, told Here and There, Friday, , that he was down about Cornwell, ' Chester county, a few days ago. He ^ had been hearing stories of what small fanners Ln that vicinity are doing with . thoroughbred Guernsey cattle and how well they are pleased with them. He said he visited a Mr. McKeown, alony with the others. Mr. McKeown is o small farmer, having only a few head, ' but he is an enthusiastic booster foi ; thoroughbred cattle. He told Mr. Blaii . that sometime ago he had a fine Guern. sey cow. She was about five years old and having several of her offsprings he decided to sell her and valued the I animal at $250. A Tennesseean came along and asked him if he had an> cows he could sell. "Yes, I have one,' ' said Mr. McKeown. The visitor asked i the price and was told that it would } take $250 to buy the cow. The Tennesseean was an experienced trader and ' offered $225. The cow was sold and I the check passed. Then the visitoi p said: "Well, sir, you certainly have . a nice cow here, but you don't know what you have pot. If you had said * $350, I would have given you that as . quick as I did $225. I am going to take that cow back to Tennessee and I'll pel | not less than $375 to $400 for her." PAVING BIDS OPENED. ' It lies between the Gulf Paving company of Chattanooga. Tenn., and the * Ely Construction company of Augusta ' Ga., as to which will get the approx' imately $100,00 paving contract to be ' riven out by tha town of Yorkville. The bid of the Ely Construction com , pany aggregated $94,510 for the whole Job, and the bid of the Gulf Paving company aggregated $91,495. The engineers gave back the good faith ! checks of all the other bidders; but held back the checks of these two until ! today, when a final decision will be arrived at. 1 The principal point of difference be. tween the lowest bidders was the element of time, the Ely Construction company promising to complete the ? Job In 40 days for each 10,000 of the approximately 30,000 square yards of [ paving, and the Gulf Paving company requiring seven months for the whole i Job. All the contractors were agreed that the Job promises to be a very cttractive one for the leason that there was 1 a minimum amount of excavation work , to be done, and also several of them . said that the price was slightly lower than had been secured on any other i paving Job given out this year* In addition to the nine bidders who competed for the contract in whole or in part, there were also here some thirty or more smaller contractors who were looking after the items of furnishing concrete, lime, cement, crushed stone and various other items that enter into the worK.

Charged With Murder. ; Clarence Williams, a negro, who lived in the vicinity of Sharon, was com' mltted to jail last Wednesday on the - charge of murder, committed on the previous Saturday night. The victim was another negro, named Dave McConnell. The killing grew out of animosities presumably connected with domestic affairs; but the exact facts have not been developed. McConnell ' had formerly lived with Williams's daughter; but broke off relations after ; about a year, and when the daughter ! took up with another negro. McCon; nell, encouraged by the woman, began to interfere. Williams went after McConnell with a shotgun, found him at the home of another negro, and shot him in the right side, McConnell dying the following Wednesday.
