It was the most hotly contested judiciary election in the city's history. Balloting was marked by the killing of a coalition watcher'at the polls by a policeman, several small riots and many charges of Traifd. According to the police, the slain, man .had used profanity in the presence of women voters and it was declared that lie was shot when he resisted arrest. . The Thompson candidates, all Republicans, were opposed by the Bar association and other civic bodies. The coalition ticket was made up of Democrats and Republicans. More than fifty pen cent, of the 900,000 voters registered went to the polls. It was the first judiciary election at which women have voted and the/ plousaiods who cast their ballots were, declared to have had a decisive effect ,on thp result. ? Decision has 'been Vouched on five of the basis groups of commodities J Hit) -WI11UII llie wuj n ui me-Huicau ui foreign and domestic commerce will be divided when the reorganization now in progress is completed, Secretary Hoover said Tuesday. These groups are textiles/opal aipl.oil, chemicals, leather products, and foodstuffs. As origjnally planned, Mr. Hoover explained; there were to be twelve basic groups with two expects in charge of each. However,, it has not ..been decided, he added,- whether, the final grouping will be limited to twelve or whether there will be more, groups with less than two experts in charge. There remains to be. determined what commodities are to make lip the other groups, he added, although, one will > include miscellaneous specialties. Part of the work from the export standpoint will , be devoted to the expansion of exports as well as ..development of markets already established it was said. Similar grouping will be installed in the bureau of standards and the census bureau in-.order to correlate the work of commerce bureau by providing the necessary statistics for the basic commodities and aiding in the standardization ' pf iaxflort producers. ? The country's combined winter and spring wheat crop promises to be 43,000.000 bushels larger than last year's, based on forecasts of production just announced by the department of agriculture. There will be smaller crops of oats, barley and hay than were harvested last year, while the apple crop will not be half so large as that of 1,920 ahd the . peach crop will be muqh smalleipj thajntilaat iyear.j,Winter wheat, wnich a month ago promised a crop of 629,000,000 bushels, came .through May in bad shape in several of the important producing states and as a result the forecast of production showed a reduction of 51,000,000 bushels, bringing the total to the same quantity as produced last year. Kansas, premier wheat state reported a decline in the condition of the crop from 84 per cent.-of a normal on May 1 to 60 on June 1, which resulted in a reduction in that state's forecast by 33,000,000 bushels. In Nebraska the condition dropped from 92 to 75 and in Oklahoma from 54 t<?~70. . The spring wheat crop forecast' indicates 43,000,000 bushels more than last year's crop. The condition of the crop is better than.a year ago, while the acreage is somewhat smaller than last year's. An acre yield of 13.9 bushels is forecast compared with 10.S bush??lc lncf- vfinr ? Legislation authorizing the treasury to place $50,000,000 at the disposal of the Federal Farm Loan Board l'or relief of agricultural interests was advocated Tuesday before the house banking commite'e by Secretary Mellon. The treasury now, has $6,000,000 on deposit with the board and in addition, Mr. Mellon said, is holding $183,000,000 in farm loan bonds for which at present there is. no market. "If aid ever was needed, it is needed now," said the secretary. Replying to Representative McGregpr,.-Republican. New York, Mr. Mellon 'sa'id it would not be advisable for the government .to loan mohey.fto)'.people: in eities for construction of houses.

Washington June 7: The American government has proposed a treaty of amity and commerce with Mexico, it , was announced today at the state department, in which Mexico will agree .to safeguard the rights of property in that country held by American citizens which attached before the constitution of 1917 wak promulgated. The signing of the treaty automatically 1 would accomplish American recognition ;of ,th'e Mexican government. For- | mat anhjounecment of the administration's pdlicy toward the southern republic was made after the subject had 1 been discussed at the regular cabinet meeting.

That there is very widespread dissatisfaction with political conditions as they now exist in South Carolina there is no question. Tips dissatisfaction, however, is largely the result of polit:ical'lethargy, and so great is this lethargy that there is not much way of telling which way the people would go if they should be waked from it. That is a sensible move on the part of Republican party leaders to follow the Democrats in the rule of basing representation in the parly councils on voting strength. During all these years the south has been represented in Republican conventions in the same proportion that it has been represented in congress, and yet the south has never contributed anything toward the election of a Republican president. As to whether the Republican party will make any inroads in the south, regardless of such changes it may make in party rules is more or less doubtful. Southern people have not yet shown such attitude for progress along political lines; but nevertheless the idea of letting 'people who cannot help to elect have a say in making a nomination, seems rather absurd on its face. , j One of the most pertinent cartoons of the past few weeks represents the public asking Uncle Sm if he is going to publish a'profiteer list also. 1 America can very easily develop her foreign trade if she so desires and by all means she should do just that. Nothing can be better for the world than extension of American trade anyway. If Admiral Sims would only forswear his American citizenship and become a British subject he would be doing a decent thing; but those Americans who like to feel more pride in America than they do in England, naturally feel a little impatient at the idea of an American official conducting himself as if this great country were only a bootlick of Great Britain. If there is any serious effort to organize a Republican party in South Carolina this year or next, there will be rather more politics than otherwise. would be proposed by the United States. Secretary Hughes' announcement containel r>o reference to the attitude assumed by President Obregon, but it did say that if Mexico did not contemplate a confiscatory policy with regard to property, the American government could "conceive of no possible objection to the treaty." It was stated that the proposed treaty contained "the conventional stipulation as to commerce and reciprocal rights, in both countries;" that it provided for the conclusion of a convention for the settlement of claims for losses of life and property, and also a provision for a "just settlement of boundary matters." ?he ItorkmUe (Eumtircr. s <%J * Entered at the Postofflce at York, as Mail Matter of the Second Class. FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1921. Service is the thing?service to others. Change is not necessarily pi'ogress; but progress is necessarily change. Just suppose each individual in this country would make an earnest effort to discharge the debt that he or she personally owes to Christianity. many people who regard Mr. McLaurin as one of the most competent authorities along this line in the whole country. And there is.no reason to doubt that so far as he is concerned there is nothing that would please him better than to be in an official position through which he would be able to take care of the farmers. Women of America have instituted a nation-wide campaign for the restoration of the little French village which had io be destroyed by the American marines in order to get at the Germans at Belleau Wood. This Belleau Wood, it will be remembered, marked the nearest approach of the Germans to Paris in the summer of 1918, and it is the point from which they took the back track toward their own border. The German outpost had established itself in the little village of stone houses and was victoriously pushing on until it came up against the marines. The marines do not know how to give way and there commenced the beginning of the end. While the marines and Germans were in a death grapple in Belleau Wood, the American artillery smashed the little village to smithereens. About three thousand marines died in Belleau Wood, and also a good many thousand Germans. It was a wonderful battle, the pick of the German army against Americans, whose only watchword was conquer or die, and when the fighting was over Belleau Wood was clear of Germans except such as were dead or prisoners. The French government has decreed that Belleau Wood shall forever be a national park called after the American marines, and this movement by American women is to restore the destroyed village to a condition that will be at least as good as before the fighting. A recent decision of the United States supreme court, according to the Manufacturer's Record of Baltimore, seems calculated to put a stop to the efforts of the Federal reserve banks to bludgeon non-member banks to remit for checks drawn upon themselves at par. This fight has been in progress for several years, since 1914, in fact. Member banks remit at par for checks drawn on them. Non-member banks charge exchange on checks drawn by their customers when the checks are * presented through other Danas. j.nc member banks have been trying to force the non-member banks to pay on the same basis as member banks. The tests used by the Federal reserve system against the state system have been most questionable. For instance when a state bank would refuse to remit at par the reserve bank would hold back an accumulation of checks over a period of several weeks and then present the whole accumulation at the window of the state bank and demand payment in cash. The reserve bank, having previously taken chre to inform itself as to how much cash the state bank had on hand, sought to compel the' suspension of the state banks because of failure to immediately honor the checks. The United States supreme court has denounced this practice in most scathing language, virtually imputing a kind of incendiarism against the member banks guilty of it There is reason to believe that as the result of the decision the practice will be discontinued and the member banks will in future have to rely upon legal processes to carry its point against the state banks. The Want Ad. One thing The Yorkville Enquirer would like very much to see is a more extensive use of its want ad columns. To be sure this would be a source of revenue and profit to The Yorkville Enquirer, and there is no need to discuss the matter further from that standpoint, except that The Yorkville Enquirer does not hesitate to say in its opinion the profit will be'just as great to individual users of want ads and to the public generally. There is no disputing the fact that the want ad is a most wonderful medium for the development of profitable intercourse among the patrons of the newspaper in which they appear, and neither is there any disputing the fact that the important possibilities of such medium for development are enhanced by the extent of the field covered by the newspaper used and the thoroughness with which such newspaper covers that field. Surely everybody in this part of the country is aware of the thoroughness with which the Yorkville Enquirer covers every portion of York county j territory. While some or me ciauy pm>ci? nnn larger fields, have larger circulations, it is probably a fact that no paper In South- Carolina covers the field it is supposed to fill more thoroughly than iho Yorkville Enquirer covers York :ounty. Most of the people of York county who take any newspaper take the forkvilie Enquirer, and of those who rlo not actually take it themselves, there are very few who do not read it every issue in whole or in part. The advantage of the use of the want id in such a newspaper ought to be Apparent to all?the advantage of the Advertiser in securing publicity for such information as he wants to nake public, and the advantage to the mtire York county public in having such an exceptional means of securing complete and thorougn punncuy. The Real Truth. Why did America go into the world ivar? Just as the reasons for the Revolulionary war are still a subject for con:roversy and just as thei-e are coninuing differences of opinion as to the souses of the war of IS 12 and of the on May 24 took their seats. xnc omn .

Ii But what The Yorkville Enquirer would like to see first is from half an acre to an acre or two of peanuts on every farm that has soil suitable for raising peanuts. Such development could easily be brought about ' without any loss to anybody. On the contrary every farmer who goes into it should find profit and satisfaction that will at least compensate him for his trouble and expense and after that all I 1 will be easy. m . MERE MENTION The senate and house have adopted a resolution providing for a general investigation of agricultural conditions? Herman Dierkes, former political leader of Cincinnati, must go to the Atlanta penitentiary for five years for having said in 1917, "I would rather serve a term in the penitentiary than wear a uniform in Wilson's Wall street war." I-Iis conviction in the court below has just been affirmed by the ' United States circuit court of appeals. ? The new Ulster parliament provided for by the British home rule for Ireland act came into being last Mon- , day. Forty Unionist members elected And of course no sensible editor is i going to advise-his readers to stake his all on peanuts any more than cotton. In , the first place, long study and experi' ence are necessary to the production of peanuts to the best advantage, just as is the case with cotton, and in the second place our farmers would be in as bad a way staking their all on peanuts as they would staking their all on any other one crop. But still there are wonderful possibilities in the .peanut. Whether raised in a small way for eating purposes, a larger scale for feeding purposes or a still larger way for crushing purposes, the peanut is well worth a place in any scheme of intelligent diversification. | As to whether the supply of peanuts must be developed before the crushing , plants or the crushing plants must be erected before the supply of peanuts can be expected may be a question in some localities; but it is not a questkn in this immediate vicinity. The cotton seed oil mills are already here, and any cotton seed oil mill can be quickly con- , ? nf np?irmt state in the world ana yet it is me poorest. And that is because it has no mills to work its raw product into finished material. It has become a great peanut state because it has the facilities to convert the peanuts into oil. North Carolina could become a great peanut state by;simply establishing the factories and inviting the farmers to go to it.?Charlotte Observer. It would be somewhat inaccurate to say th t the farmers are becoming divorced from the all cotton idea, unless we make it cleg.r that we only mean some farmers .and those to a limited extent; but if farmers are ever to learn the impossibility of ever getting- anywhere through.the all cotton route, it would seem that the experience of the past few yoari would furnish all the training they should need. Perhaps it is' true that cotton is the only money crop; but up to this time we have never seen where the money in cotton has gone to the farmer. civil war, it will' be a long long time before men settle the question as to why we went into the world war. The great Civil war was precipitated by the act of South Carolina seceeding from the union and on both sides secession was accepted as the issue; but who is going to say that this war would have happened at that time except for the slavery question? Our Mexican war was purely and simply a war of conquest and in the abstract the most unjust wy in which this country was ever engaged. In the opinion of The Yorkville Enquirer America's entry into the world war was purely,and simply, for the preservation cf American independence. No, America was not directly threatened; but the good sense of the American people .clearly forsaw that if Germany should succeed in the conquest of Europe, it would be a question of only a short time thereafter before America would have to either fight or yield her independence. However a botch some of our lead ers may have made of it, America was justified in going into that war, and if she had not gone in she would have deserved all that would have been coming to her. But tho two proudest things about America's connection with the World war are the glorious manner in which American troops conducted themselves, and the unselfish magnanimity that has characterized America's use of the tremendous advantages she has gained. Peanut Possibilities. The Torkville Enquirer reports that the farmers in that "section of South Carolina are this year planting more peanuts than ever. Local dealers tell it that vhundreds-of bushels have been sold and sales are continuing." The planting, however, is yet confined to small patches, "but it is probable that within a year or two the farmers in this part of the country will be going into cultivation of the peanut on the "plantation" scale. They are becoming divorced from the all-cotton idea and are looking about for substitute crops. Few products offer better possibilities than the peanut. The only thing needed to inspire its cultivation is facilities for manufacturing peanut oil and byproducts, and it jooks like the farmers and planters might get together on an agreement that the manufacturers will take all the peanuts the farmers might grow.

There has been on display at Carroll Brcs.'s this week an Irish potato plant that is well filled with potatoes that have developed on the stems of the plant out of the ground. Some people say they hdve seen the like before, others that they have not. The thing is unusual, but not altogether unique. Mr. C. W. Carroll knows that the plant came from soil that had been very much enriched with stable manure and thinks that may have something to do with the seemingly abnormal development Among those who tried to account for the unusual phenomenon, one man said that very likely the potato plant originally developed its fruit above ground, and this was a case, not uncommon in nature of an attempt to revert back to type. If there is a reader of The Yorkville Enquirer who can give a satisfactory explanation, he will tell many other readers something they would like to know.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. % The county board of commissioners devoted its regular monthly meeting last Wednesday to the transaction of business coming within the usual -routine. Establishment of a credit with the Bank of Clover for $15,000, secured by three notes of $5,000 each at 5 1-2 per cent interest, was perhaps the most impor:ant single item of business disposed of. In reply to a communication from the Fort -Mill township road commissioners asking the board to-locate a certain new road, the board advised the Fort Mill commissioners that under the law the matter of locating roads is now entirely within the discretion of the township commissioners ?that the county board has nothing to do with the matter. There was some informal discussion of the location of the proposed West road between Yorkville and Sharon. Attorney Brice advispd that because of the conditions existing in this case the task of location would devolve jointly on the county board of commissioners, the Western Road commission and the State Highway commission. The West Road commission has a say because of the county appropriation it is to disburse. and the county board of comnf i t c 4.11123 iiii; i? .. The entire infield of the legion team appeared to be a little off, rolling up a goodly number of errors; but not quite enough to lose the game, a batting rally in the eighth inning after Port Mill had tied the score, netting two more runs. There were flashes of real baseball played by both sides at times and very little of the "bone head" variety at any time. A pretty fair crowd was out to see the show, which was worth the money. Thus far the Legionaires and Fort Mill have played four .games, each team having two victories to its credit.

The Legion Larrupers came back to Yorkville Wednesday night with the scalp of the Clara Mill team, Gastonia, the score being 6 to 7. It was a fine game, according to all the reports, and it was not settled un+ ;i nl'lap olmron i fm i fl Neither team scored until the fourth inning-, when the Clara team made four runs. The Larrupers made two runs in the fifth inning and two more in the sixth. Clara got two ahead in the eighth and the Larrupers tied the score again in the ninth. Neither side scored in the 10th, but in the 11th the Larrupers made the odd run. The Larrupers made only two errors during the game. Gaulden's work was simply fine, and the whole team showed up good and strong. . \ WIN FOR LEGIONA1RES. Hitting the old pill when hits counted, thus making up for the bad errors they made, the American Legion Larrupers of Yorkville, walked away with Fort Mill on the Yorkville Graded school grounds Tuesday afternoon by a score of 8 to 6. It was a hard fought game and the victory that the Legionaires obtained was richly deserved, since it was no walk away. "Mister" How'rd McMackin, pitching for the Legionaires, was there with the goods when things looked tight and much' of the credit for the victory goes to him. Arthur Neely made his first appearance in a Legion uniform and he played a great game in left field, taking everything that came his way and hitv.oit ivVipn hits were needed. I vor the lower route, while moat of the : people living east of Shaion, including many Yorkville people, favor the upper route. In their discussion of the subject the county board did not definitely commit itself as to location; but said that the matter must be left to the joint consideration of those charged with responsibility, which consideration would in ui guiiau ULUUU, JIUJUber of people to be served and other elements bearing .on.'the whole matter.

It should be handed to Mr. Jamison that he is giving-the town the best, neatest and most generally satisfactory cafe "to be found in a town the size of this anvwhere within a hundred miles. In fact there, are very few eat- . ing places in the .larger surrounding cities that have anything on the Shandon hotel cafe as to quality of food served or character of service. ? The home of,Mrs. R. C. Allein, on Wright avenue,' .was entered by some unauthorized person .in the absence of the family during ?he . early hours of last Friday night. Following the ringing of the telephone, according to a near neighbor who knew the family . was away, some one" came hurriedly down' the steps and after a brief pause at the telephone "g.ot out of the house. The neighbor telephoned the police and also tried to gerthe Allein phone, but without success. When Mrs. Allein, who was calling on a near neighbor at the time, returned because of the alarm, she found'her telephone receiver down. So far as she could discover nothing of especial value was missing. The neighbors have different ' theories as to the possible identity of. the intruder/ ' ? Only partlaily successful was the initial attempt to establish the Thursday afterno6n half ;jioHday among the business people yesterday. The idea of the promoters of the'movement was to secure a' complete 5 suspension of business and, the! tcrtvn was canvassed to that end. "' A :majority was willing: and anxious but' there were a few dissenters. When' the test came yesterday all the dry; goods stores, the furniture stores, the hardware stores and the banks "closed promptly at 12 o'clock. Louis Roth' and J. M. Brian, grocerymen closed. The Calhoun Drug Store and the Mackorell Drug Store closed; but the York Drug Store re- > mained open and' the other two reopened. Some considerable interest developed in the situation yesterday, both among business people and outsiders, including - some of the more prominent laciles^of .the, town and the indications seem to be that the Thursday afternooh" half-holiday proposition will continue .quite adive issue until it is.settled-one way or the other. The half-holiday : custom prevails in Gastonia, Rock-Hill and several other surrounding towns* i; AROUND!'.ROCK HILL A regular haven if or birds is the campus of Winthrop College just now. James Henry Kice,,jr., Arinur 1. Wayne, Dr, Robert Ridgeway or some other noted bird lover would doubtless delight in spending a few days on the campus. It is . a-little late for robins to be remaining in jYork county and South. Carolina; but several sections of the campus are alive with them just now. There are -numerous families of naughty jay birds and brown thrushes and cat birds and- mocking birds. Wrens flit around cracks and crevices. Big bull bats fly over the campus in the evenings, reminding one of aeroplanes, 2,000 feet in the sky. Sparrows are conspicuous by their absence, although there are a few. Pigeons have homes around the big clock in the tower o? the college administration buildings The birds have made sweeter music this week than have the several hundred delegates joining in the various' song services at the meeting of the 44th South Carolina Sunday school.convention. . Little construction work is going on at Winthrop/ College, just now. Considerable'%brk has been planned but the general assembly of 1921 just simply parhlyzed the programme. A new dormitory Is in course of construction. Funds necessary for its completion .are in' hand and -it will be ready for the accommodation of about 150 additional Winthrop girls next September.

Despite the- fact that there , were around 7,000 paid admissions to the historical pageant staged at Winthrop a few weeks ago, little profit was made out of the great exhibition. Costumes used in its. presentation cost about $8,000 and there were other expenses according to Miss Minnie Parker, senior matron at* the college. The sum of only $500 was cleared on the great exhibition and this sum was used in providing certain furnishings for one of the buildings which the state had failed to provide. . The Winthrop' Summer school for teachers opens next ' Monday. Indi-. cations are that there will be a larger attendance upon the' summer school than ever known before. Every bed. in the Winthrop dormitories has been engaged. :There are more than 1,000 beds. Miss Marie Fewell of the Rock Hill Chamber of Commerce has been asked by President Johnson to .try to provide accommodations in the city for at least 100 teachers and maybe more.

There have been a- round of social events going on in. the city this week ?marriages, announcement parties and one thing and another and a great many ladies have frankly adm'.tted that they are much more interested in these events than they are in the Sunday school programme.
