Enver Pasha, former Turkish Minister of War and recently chief antagonist to Bolshevist rule in the Transcaucasus, was found dead on the battlefield in Eastern Bokhara, according to advices received by the goverumc'M at Moscow, last Thursday, leaver .'aslin was attind in a British uniform when found. He was stabbed five times Aug. 4 in fighting against the, Bolshevists. Knver began liis career as an agitator among the young Turks and was one of the triumvirate who dethroned Svitan Abdul Humid. He became Chief of St iff of the Turkish Army in January, 1913, and in 1917 Minister of \Vfcr. Aiicr pcan ?un concluded, he was forced to llec from Turkey, where he was accust d o:' war pi-ofltecring and kindred activities. He was then reported to have engaged in a conspiracy with the Bolshevikl to facilitate their invasion of Egypt, India and Afghanistan. He made frequent trips to Moscow and was often found in conference with Premier Leiline. Through his' offices, a treaty of peace was signed between the govt eminent of Bokhara and the Soviets.

(The ^lorkullt^ tfnquinr. j j Entered at the Postofli ce at York, as Mail Matter of the S econd Class. TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1922. ~ There is criticism of Presider. t ^larding: for taking1 both sides in liii: strike situation address. Well there are two sides to the question and 110 fair minded man could commit himself unreservedly to either side. That is an interesting story that is being printed today to the effect that the Brownings of Greensboro, N. C., ni??d Greenville have just inherited fif teen million dollars from the estate of a rich uncle in Texas; but the story has not been confirmed. There are people who like to put out such stories, and very often they get into print; but they are not always true. At Anderson Saturday Mr. Laney called Mr. Duncan a liar. Mr. Duncan has been asking; Blease, McLeod and l^iney to deny that they are under obi ligation, 31' elected, to turn the Columbia canal property over to K. \\*. Robinson. Heretofore all the candidates have been ignoring the challenge, along with everything else emanating ' from Duncan. Unabls to stand it 11 any longer, Mr. Lnney called Mr. Dun can a liar, after which he made proper ' apology to the chairman of the ineeti ing. But Mr. Lancy ought not to have . talked that way. What lie said was . true no doubt; but then what was the use of saying it? In connection with its county court Greenville county has a county solicitor, one W. E. Bowen, and he is being opposed, he claims, because he is not I laying the game fair. Th re are , lawyers over in' Greenville' who need ! Id be sued front time to time to make 1 them cither pay their debts or wtoir the badge of public contempt that they deserve. Bowen has sued several of ' them, and they don't like it. They want to displace him will) a man who will use more consideration toward the profession. At least that is what Bowen is saying about it. and it is quite ' possible that Bowen is right. There i ere a good many people who think 1 that the establishment of a county ' Court will be a wise thing in York county. A Columbia "special" of Saturday lo the Greenville News and published in that paper's issue of Sunday (bot U'MI ?>1 1, ."M.\t|l V '"Xtflifll I'I'll sents (Jovernnr Harvey as saying that former Coventor ltloa.se had granted lO.Ortd (ton thousand) full pardons. There i.s no doubt of the fact that ltlea.se was somewhat of a pardoner; " but that those figures exaggerate the record somewhat is quite evident. According to the correspondent, however, the governor was led to this remarkable discovery through an alleged re. | quest for the return to the penitentiary of two men that (Joversnr 1 .lease had paroled. Search revealed the fact that following their . parolcment the governor had given them a full pardon along with the ton thousand others. The whole object of the story, of course, was political propaganda, of which those Columbia correspondents are past musters. They can make a "SlliApinl" rif .'lYni/ivf mm vl hitio- ovoot.l ? m ' honest presentation ?>I" facts. The agricultural committee <?f the , senate has turned down Senator Dial's i hill to regulate the cotton exchanges. ^ Sure. Who was over so foolish as to think the hill would pass anyway? It \ would have made trading on the cxi change a perfectly legitimate proimsi' tion, and that w ..Id never do. The idea of haying" cotton on the exchange on a basis of the supply and demand of ' the actual commodity! That would never do. The exe'nange is for the ' | purpose of holding the price of cotton | down to the lowest possible basis and _ ! it would not he permitted on any oth ! or basis. Iiomemhir a few years ago 1 when Drown and Hnyno of New Orleans. got cotton cornered and the spinners went to the courts in put i down lilt* price? Whoever heard of | any help from the courts when the I I same hind <>f tratnblein had put the j price below the cost ol production? No, the object of the exchanges is to , he'|t prices down and tin* profession' I * Is are freely conceded ail the Kraft I they can extract from suchers in the process, Mat to make the cotton ex: change an institution to establish real i values! No, never. la-run. Amr. IS.?French feelers hove ;: been advanced- apparently through ' industrial channels?seekintr n reap. I preachment between Frame and (ler' I many in tiie eveiil that tin- strained i situation between France am] England, I following the collapse of the London i conferon?*\ results in a break of the entente. This information has been obtained from an important non-Oerman source, whose intimate touch with affairs permits liim to speak reliably. According to this authority, the i feelers have already probably pcnctrat| ed as far as the Wirth government, but if is believed that the prevalent anti-French spirit in Germany will make such efforts fruitless. Tl m? French, in addition to wanting German friendship made available in case of a break with Great Britain, would use tlx' evidence of such friend| ship as a lever to bring London to the | Paris way of dealing with reparations j and kindred problems. The forogc ting if flipped, from the "Washington Hero hi. It is prohcihly important only as a spfcimen of propaganda, and more espffi.ally in the light'of its (lei-man origin; hut to sophisticated people there should be nothing absurd in the underlying hlea. While all .America is now felicitating itself in having gone into the war to put down tlic bloody German monster and Tun ke the world safe for democracy," there can be no successful denying of the indisputable truth that for full two years after the war commenced we hesitated as to whether we should take the side of Germany, or the Allies. Surely everybody remembers the testimony of Ad'miral Sims to the effect that when be started abroad on his pre-war reconjioissance, he was told by a high leader1 of the administration, that "We would just as lief tight Great Britain' as any of the rest of them." For full two . years there was more sympathy in America for Germany than there was for Great Britain, and ovtnnnlhv #li/1 nnt nhonm* nnlil Great Britain clearly became the under dop. Tt is not unthinkable that if it had been Germany that was getting licked, we would have taken the side of Germany against the Allies. Hut thero is not a shndow of a chance that France will ever come t? an understanding' with Germany against Great Britain; or at least that is what we think about it. If there is a break-up of the entente, and a new nllignment, Great Britain and Germany will be the powers that will be arrayed against France. There is no sentiment in this thing; it is a pure matter of business. France will not be allowed to dominate Europe, because a dominant France will mean a subservient Great Britain, and Great Britain is not going to be subservient to anybody or anything as long as there are any Englishmen left. Hut Germany and France are never going to join forces in a common cause. In the first-place, England would not permit it, and in the second place they could not do it anyway. Dangerous Proposition. There is pending in congress for submission to the states, a proposed amendment to tiie constitution that will prove of far-reaching importance if it should ever he adopted. The proposition comes from Mr. Green of Iowa, and reads as follows: That from and after the adoption of this amend men t as a part of the constituti.cn the provisions of the sixteenth nniemllllellt to t he eotwt H ot Ion shall apply to and include income* derived from securities thereof tor issued or created hyan.v state or political subdivision thereof or any dependency of lite United States; hut taxes on incomes derived from sneh sororities must l?e laid without discrimination in favor of Income derived from other securities of the same term and general elass issued or oroatod after the adoption of'this amendment as a part of the constitution. The clear purpose of this is to fix It so that the United Slates ran tax state securities, while the states are not allowed to tax United States securities. The last clause of the proposed amendment guarantees that all securities must be taxed alike; hut the principle is vicious. The original decision of the supreme emmt that a state could not tax a security of the United States an I vice versa, was on the grout*d t^iat the "right to tax involved the right to destroy." Th.it was laushed at as vi-l.mnry: hilt hiToro hmg there eame a time when the laugh was changed to a grin. l"p until well into the Civil war all the paper money of the country was issued by state hanks, and such a thing as interference with that riirlit was little drcanud of anywhere until the establishment of the national hanks. With the establishment of national hanks of issue, however, it was soon found that they could never he rtade to pro so Ions as stale hanks continued in Hie enjoyment of the power tl.ey had been enjoying all along. To get rid of the slate hank issues, congress in tlie exercise of its constitutional power of regulating the enr| roncy, imposed a tax of ten per cent i per annum, and that gave the national I banks the comiilcte mnnnnnlv (Jive congress tin- right to l;iy a tax j <>n say. school district bonds, and the | school district will tin longer I." nblc ' to sell bonds without inefhding in the i interest rate the est invited annual tax 'rales. So with road bonds, county ' and state bnn Is. More than that. In time of political 1 oassion or emergency, it is possible , that eo11'-res.s might levy such a tax i oil slat" and municipal bonds that j they could not be sold at all, thus do- | pricing I lie state and its subdivisions of all the li;iMui.il standing they now ! have. As we vpo It. this agitation has; grown out of the opposition of the I mortgage companies to tax free farm ' l.oan bonds, and if tbey are successful ^ in their fluid here, tliey will not stop j i.nlil they have wiped out the righto to | issue road and school bonds.

The total of last year's erop was 770,661 bales and according to the bank's estimate, made up principally from reports of banks throughout the state, this year's crop looks like 583,264 bales. York county made 41,092 bales last year and the bank puts this year's crop at 25,000 bales, or 61 per cent, of last year's crop. The peach tree experiment of McsI ?! ? si**in csi'i iunn !iml Johnson Came ion, on the Chester road, is one of great significance to this whole section. Whether or not this experiment will prove a success remains to ho seen; but the possibilities arc in its favor. Anyhow the matter is up to the country generally. Shall others "chime in now, or wait until they see how Cameron and Garrison come /out? The waiting policy seems to be the natural one; but is it the sensible policy? If Garrison *nd Cameron succeed they will succeed big, and the more cooperation they have in their experiment the greater will be their success. A few hundred cars of peaches can be handled to better advantage than a few do.Ten I cars. If the peaches have to be taken care of locally, they can be taken rare j of better on a large scale than on a small scale.- We ore inclined to think that the best thing for the neighbors to do is to commence planting trees I right now rather than wait to sec how these enterprising pioneers come out. WITHIN THE TOWN ? I^ist Saturday' was Jleth-Shlloh day at the country produce store and the sales amounted to $45. ? Fire of origin undetermined at 4:45 Sunday morning did great dam ape to the stock and fixtures of the Alackorell Drug Company. The fire is believed to have originated in the* rear of the store building and a can of turpentine at d other inflammables becoming ignited it rapidly spread through the store. A glass mirror in the. front of the prescription department and another mirror in the soda fountain were cracked and hot lies of drugs and patent medicines were cracked by the water poured into the building by the fire department and the intense heat of the flames. The damage to the stock is said to he well covered by insurance, $9,0(10 being carried on the stoek and fixtures. The building which is the property of Mrs. S. M.

According 10 the best information ^ of Tin- Yorkville Knquirer, .Mr. A,she was tin* firs. York county farmer to rocogni/.o tin value of bur clover as a soil builder, lie has been familiar W illi tli-. legume for Ihirty years, and had it j growing an his farms for a hour time j before lie began to appreciate that it had any value at all. "See that piece of corn over there?" j' said .Mr. Ashe, pointing to a Held of line corn in the roasting-enr stage just across the Yoikville-Chester road from iiis house. "You remember that field ( when it was very poor, don't you'.';1 Well that land has been brought to j what it is now principally by bur clo- j : v?r. and it was bur clover that made : that corn. I' "For various reasons I was unable to 1 got that field broken up until late in i ? the season, and shortly after the corn j was put in, it turned off d>y. The corn I did not do .so well f'?r lack of moisture; but it kept growing and began to show U|) ;i low small ears. At times I felt ' teat it would l>e no good. Hut look at it now since the rain. It is going to make good corn, and I'm giving all the credit to bur clover. Except for the clover, it would have made nothing with the kind of seasons it has been having. "1 saw an article in The Yorkville Enquirer not long ago," continued Mr. Ashe, "quoting tin Anderson man as speaking of having a heavy crop of oats and bur clover on the same land. 1 think there must have been some mistake about that. At least there could not have been heavy crops of both oats and clover on the same land tit the same lime. They will grow on the same land separately all right; but they won't mix. "Another thing that I have discovered about bur clover," said Mr. Ashe, "is that about the best way to get it scattered is through the cows. For a long time I had an idea that cattle and other stock would not eat it; but that has changed. Any kind of stock will eat the clover, and they like it best abou* the time it is ripening. Let the stock eat the Clover, then if you scatter the stock they will scatter the clover."
