? Figures compiled today show that
$100,000 is about the price Philadelphians
will pay for the work done by
billy Sunday, for the free-will offering '
by his hearers has been very large.
Out of this amount Mr. Sunday will
pay at once $1,000 to the members of
his party and will put aside one-tenth
for charitable purposes. "God's tenth,"
he calls that. Friends say that he
may make other donations to members
of his party and to religious and
charitable work. But it is certain he
will take from Philadelphia a very
large sum as his share of the contributions
made on the last day. Up to
and including tonight those who
streamed down the aisles and shook
the evangelist's hand numbered 20,542.
Of these 5.922 were children.
About 65 per cent were men. His admirers
Insist that he has done a work
of real service here.
? Duval West, former United States
district attorney at San Antonio, Tex.,
has been selected to go to Mexico as
personal representative of President
Wilson. Secretary Bryan announced
the selection. Mr. West's mission is
similar to that of Paul Fuller, who
some time ago conferred with Mexican
leaders and reported to President
Wilson. Mr. West is commissioned to
make general inquiries into conditions
and to interview leaders of all factions,
making clear to them the position
of the United States government
with respect to the protection of foreigners
and their interests. It is understood
that while Mr. West will
nnint nut the erowine necessity for a
permanent settlement of Mexican affairs,
he does not take suggestions
from the United States. He has lived
a number of years in Mexico and is
understood to be familiar with the
situation.
? Officials of the Cunard Steamship
company admit that the steamer Orduna,
which arrived from Liverpool
Wednesday, flew "a neutral Hag"
while clearing the Irish coast. This
statement was made after passengers
on the British liner had declared that
on January 31, she flew the Stars and
Stripes while passing through the
Irish sea. These passengers asserted
that the American flag was flying aft.
indicating the vessel's nationality. On
behalf of the line a denial was made
during the day that the Orduna had
flown the flag except at the foremast,
which was done to indicate the country
for which she was bound. Capt.
Thomas M. Taylor of the Orduna declined
to make any statement. He said
he was under orders from the British
admiralty not to talk. The statement
given out at the offices of the Cunard
line said: "Orduna left Liverpool flying
English flag at stern and United
States flag as customary, at the fore.
After leaving Queenstown, for about
an hour and a half or two hours he did
fly a neutral flag while she was clearing
the Irish coast. Officials of the
line declined to amplify the statement "
? The house of commons on Wednesday
night passed without division
the army estimates for 3,000,000 men,
exclusive of India, and also by a "token"
vote provided for the pay of of- i
fleers and men. By this vote the government
will receive blank check9 for
this purpose. Replying to inquiries,
Harold J. Tennant, parliamentary Under-Secretary
of war, said that in case
of a raid on England, Gen. Sir Ian i
Hamilton was in command of a mobile
force ready to go anywhere at any

of inoculation against disease |
and Mr. Tennant declared sentiment
in favor of compulsory inoculation
was increasing and that the government
was considering its adoption.
Lord Kitchener, secretary for war, felt
so strongly about the matter, Mr. Tennant
said, that he was about to issue
an order suspending grants of leave to
those who declined to be inoculated. (
The under-secretary said the war office
was considering the enlistment of
"bantam battalions." In the mining
districts, he said, many men under the
regulation height desired to serve in
the army and some already were
training.
? Loans and discounts on the books
of national banks of the country at the
close of business December 31. 1914,
amounted to $6,347,636 510, an increase
over October 31, of more than $31,000,000,
according to a statement last
Wednesday, by Comptroller of the
Currency Williams. Demand and
time deposits December 31, amounted
to $6,346,362,250, an increase over the
amount at the time of the last comptroller's
call of about $167,000,000. The
call of December 31, was the first since
the Federal reserve system began
actual operations and in consequence
the banks showed a decrease in specie
compared with October 31, of $218,395,- (
651, and of legal tender of $43,929,637.
It was pointed out, however, that the
deposit of lawful reserve by national
banks with reserve banks before the
call and after October 31. amounted
to $21,649,775 and that in addition,
hanks subscribed $18,051,000 to the
L'upiitti ui uir reserve ua.utv?, auuwiie,
in fact an increase of cash in the national
banks and Federal reserve
banks of about $17,000,000. The excess
reserve of all the banks is computed
to be $559,913,061, compared
with an excess of $136,469,450 on October
31, and an increase since the inauguartion
of the Federal reserve system
of $432,444,511. Southern states
reported an excess reserve of $62,012,- ]

? The United States government, |
says a Washington dispatch of Wednesday.
sent a note to Great Britain,
making friendly observations on the I
use of British ships of neutral flags
and at the same time dispatched a
communication to Germany, inquiring
what steps would be taken by
German naval commanders to verify
the identity of ships flying neutral
flags in the recently proclaimed zones
of war around England and Ireland.
While the Lusltania incident is not 1
mentioned, the representations to i
Great Britain are based upon the
statement of the British foreign office
justifying the use of neutral ilags by
her merchantmen to escape capture.
The American government points out
that frequent and continued use of
this stratagem might cast doubt on
the character of vessels really entitled
to Hy the American liag and
produce dangers to which neutral
ships ought not to be subjected on
the high seas and in unblocked waters.
In the note to Germany it is understood,
the United States asked how
the German admiralty proposed to
carry out in practice its recent proclamation
of a war on merchant ships
and is warning that on account of the
misuse of the neutral flags by belligerent
vessels, neutral ships could
not always be distinguished. The
United States has made it clear, it is
understood, an attack on vesst Is flying
the American Hag without tlrst ascertaining
definitely that such use was
fictitious, would bring about serious
complications. The L'nited States has
not fully expressed itself on the German
proclamation, however confining
itself for the present to an inquiry for
information. The communication
merely seeks to learn more definitely
what hazards an American ship mignt
be confronted with in passing through
the newly prescribed sea zones and
what steps will be taken by the German
navy to give unrestricted passage
to American vessels traveling
through these waters. Both notes are
brief and friendly.
? A compromise propositi designed
to extricate the administration ship
purchase bill from the deadlock that
has blocked its passage in the senate,
and to avert an extra session, was put
forward last night by house Democrats,
through Representative Kitchin
of North Carolina, chosen majority
leader for the next house. The new
plan, which proposes the passage of
the shipping hill as a temporary ,
emergency measure, was developed at i
? onferenees on the house side of the
capitol while the senators marked i
time, "ith both opponents and sup- j
porters of the measure sparring for (
advantage. An adjournment of the
senate advanced the plans of the '
Democratic leaders to force a cloture i
rule wiai wuuiu erm me ueieruiiiieu
filibuster. As announced by Representative
Kltchin. the compromise '
contemplates passage through the !
house next week of the bill suggested j
by Senator fJore with an amendment
that would terminate the government's
ac tivities in the shipping business
two years after the close of the ?
European war. l>esp|te President ,
Wilson s announced determination to .
stand by the senate bill in its present *
form, Representative Kitchin said, ?
publicans and Democrats to avoid an
tra session, proposed to put this measure
before the senate, and give the
president an opportunity to accept it
in the event of the failure of the
pending bill. The desire of both Republicans
and Democrats to vaoid an
extra session. Representative Kitchin
thought, probably would give the proposed
plan sufficient support to get it
through before March 4. Representative
Kitchin, Majority Leader Underwood.
Representative Adamson and
other house leaders, after conferring
with President Wilson at the White
House yesterday, returned to the capitol
with the assurances that the president
was still determined to press
the ship purchase bill even to the
point of calling an extra session.
House leaders told the president that
' ,,n ovtra spanfon

would prove futile because the ship
purchase bill would fail to get a majority
in the next house.

YORKVILLE. S. O.i
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12,1915
Let's work the roads.
The high price of flour is increasing
the popularity of corn bread which,
after all, is a fine substitute for wheat
bread.
It is better to put an embargo on
American wheat than to have it sunk
in the English channel or off the coast
of Ireland by German submarines.
The one great difficulty about mak*
ohnilt tVl A
lllg uiieiii?c&ii wiuuiviu ....
progress of the war in Europe, is the
impossibility of getting the facts.
It is certainly a pretty kettle of fish
when America has such a good chance
to develop trade with South American
countries and has no ships with which
to do the developing.
There are indications of a strong
movement among the Republicans to
nominate Mr. Taft again for the presidency.
Wonder if that will not also
again put Col. Roosevelt in the running.
An item in the appropriation bill
provides {2,000 for legal advice for
the governor. This follows the recent
controversy between Governor Manning
and Attorney General Peeples,
and probably means that the attorney
general is not to be recognized as a
part of the administration.
It ought to be clear even to the
most casual thinker who is at all ac
quainted with the tax laws, that there
can be no satisfactory revision thereof
until after the repeal of the constitutional
3 mill school tax. That tax has
caused more dodging than any other
provision of the tax laws, and we do
not believe the present generation will
ever become reconciled to it.
England having announced her determination
of starving Germany by
preventing the shipment of food to
her ports, Germany says she will undertake
to prevent the shipment of
food to England. England relies on
the control of the passages to Germany
by her navy, and Germany relies
upon the effectiveness of her submarines.
The right and wrong of the
attitude of both countries is being discussed.
It requires a somewhat farfetched
kind of reasoning to establish
the right of either side, but it is not
difficult to see that one side is about
as much right as the other.
We are not exactly prepared to endorse
that bill which is pending in the
general assembly to prohibit a railroad
company from operating a train
of more than fifty cars. The object of
the bill, of course, is to make the
railroads give employment to more
men than they really need and there
is something wrong with the principle
of the thing. It strikes us as being
along the same line of the lawyer who
stirs up litigation for the purpose of
getting a fee. So far as the railroads
of this immediate locality are concerned,
the bill can have no effect on
present conditions because there are
no engines that could pull 50 cars over
them anyway. But there might be
some effect in the future in discouraging
the improvement of these roads
so they could handle fifty cars if it
were desirable to do so.
All public officials, except notaries
public, should be on a salary basis,
and the fee system should be abolished
entirely. This was one of the
planks of the old Reform movement
that did so much to promote true
democracy in South Carolina. The
promise was not fully carried out.
The lawyer's cost iniquity was abolished,
and that was a good thing.
Clerks of the court were put on a salary
basis after the collection of fees
to the amount of $3,000; but most of
the clerks continued to hold on to all
the fees they got regardless of the
law, and finally managed to secure the
repeal 01 tne law mey naa never ooeyed.
The fee system is wrong, iniquitous
undemocratic, and a free people
should not stand for it any more than
they would stand for the old heathen
idea of farming out taxes. The whole
thing should be abolished.
The Richland county delegation
wants to issue $1,250,000 of road
bonds to be paid by a tax on automobiles.
Now as we have said time and
again, we believe in the graduated income
tax, and we do not care where
the deadline is placed either above or
below. The justice of this tax in our
view lies in placing the burden largely
on ability to bear the same. But we
take ?u? stock in the automobile tax
idea. Theoretically it may be all
right. for-the presumption is that automobile
owners belong only to the
wealthier Hasses. As a matter of fact
i large per cent of the .automobiles of
ihe state are owned by people who had
to mortgage other property along with
the automobiles to own them, and the
taxation of the owner of a mortgaged
ititomobile stlong with the owner of
the machine of ample means is not
fair. The ltichland proposition, we
hink. is foolish.
The American steamer Dacia, loadMi
with cotton in Oalveston for Roterdam.
and carrying 12,000 bales, left
Norfolk, Ya.. yesterday. Before the
ship sailed the I'nited States collector
of customs at Norfolk, went on board
and advised the crew as to the whole
situation. He explained that the ship,
which had been interned, belonged to
German owners; that it had been purchased
by American citizens for use in
carrying cotton to Germany; that
Great Britain denies the good faith of
the purchase and proposes to seize
the ship; that there may be dr.nger
connected with the matter. Already
eleven men had asked for their dis
charge; but all on Doara weanesaay
said they understood the situation perfectly
and would go on with the ship.
It is a foregone conclusion that the
Dacia is to be taken In charge by
British war vessels; but what other
things might happen is a matter of
confused anticipation.
Not being on the spot, we are unable
to say whether, in our opinion,
a majority of the voters of Yorkville
desire a change of name for the town.
However, we have a pretty strong idea
that were the voters of the entire
county allowed to pass on the question.
York's county seat would wake
up the morning after with the "ville"
still tacked onto the end of its name.?
Fort Mill Times.
There is somethir" to that, and what
is more, since YorkviHe is a county
seat, the entire county should have
a say. The particular element, however,
that is manipulating this proposition,
never seems to consider the
county has anything to say about local
matters; except when it comes to
voting bonds to build a court house,
or something like that. The fact the
county was contemptuously ignored
in the location of the court house, is
a matter still fresh in the public
mind, and the Times need not deceive
itself into thinking that the county is
going to be considered in this particular
matter.
"Who runs the paper?" asks the
Anderson Intelligencer. That is a
rather difficult question to answer
sometimes. If the editor is a practical
man of experience, knows his business.
and is possessed of integrity up
to a fair average, he runs it. If the
editor does not measure up to these
requirements, it win very orten lateen
a search warrant to answer the Intelligencer's
question. In one case It
might be one influence and in another
case it might be another. We have
known of cases where men who had
been successful in the acquirement of
money and power have devoted their
efforts to controlling the newspaper
in order to facilitate their schemes In
pulling things over the community.
The means employed are numerous
and varied. Sometimes they use the
boycott, sometimes money pressure,
sometimes social pressure, sometimes
thugs, and so on. In many cases public
officials run newspapers through
money subsidies and the diversion of
official advertising from its legitimate
channels. Very frequently a paper is
run by the holders of the mortgages.
But the paper is never run very long
by any of these influences; because
the public catches on after a while
and when it catches on it withdraws
its support. The correct answer to
the Intelligencer's question then is
that the paper must be run by a discriminating
constituency through an
editor of experience and reasonable
integrity or it will not be run by anybody
for long.
The Greenville News agrees with
The Enquirer as to the absurdity of
that proposition to put within the dis
cretion of clerks of the court to say
who shall and who shall not be allowed
lo order liquor. As to whether the
News is willing to go as far as we in
the matter, we do not know; but as
we see it the proposition is worse than
absurd. It is silly and we think it little
short of criminal. There is no individual
who is qualified to exercise
such a power rightfully. There is too
mdch temptation to it, for one
thing, not only in the matter of the
25 cents fees; but in the matter of influencing
the franchise. A gallon a
month is a small quantity for a man
who drinks liquor habitually, especially
if there be consideration of
the amount he gives away. Among
the numerous people who do not use
liquor and who would not order it,
there are many who have no scruples
about lending the use of their names
to others, and the people who desired
more than a gallon a month would
have but little difficulty in getting all
they want. There are plenty of clerks
who would not hesitate to accommodate
their friends, especially in view
of the fee and there are many who
would not take the risk of making a
voter angry, fee or no fee. There are
some who would use this power purely
for electioneering purposes. But that
is only another side of the matter.
The whole thing is ridiculous on its
face?this thing of pretending to prohibit
the importation of liquor, while
leaving open a ready loophole for the
importation of all the public might
aesire. we are ior aosoiuie promoition;
but even if we saw it otherwise
and considered the importation of
liquor an Inherent right that was not
to be interfered with, we would not
stand for the deceit of the proposition
that is now under consideration.
PRESIDENT TO BOY SCOUTS.
The Only Way to Make Good Is to
Keep Awake.
President Wilson received the members
of the national council of the Boy
Scouts of America yesterday and presented
medals to several Scouts, one of
them for lifesaving.
Speaking to the Boy Scouts, President
Wilson said:
"I am sincerely glad to have the
pleasure of this visit from you and to
have an opportunity to express my
wry sincere interest, not only in the
organization of the Boy Scouts, but in
the objects that the organization has.
For all 1 know of It and from all that
1 have been able to observe personally,
it is an admirable organization, devoted
to the objects that I myself, thoroughly
believe in.
"There Is one rule in the world and
it applies to all professions; that is.
that you are expected to make good.
No excuses are allowed in this school
of life. The only way to make good i.i
to keep awake. That is the reason I
like the idea of the Boy Scouts; it

make a noble gentleman."

The Cheater Newe suggests that the
name of Yorkvllle be changed to York
for a year and that It be then changed
to "New York." Wonder why the fellow
who fathered this change proposition
had not thought of that at first?
The Columbia State of yesterday, 1
reports that the bill providing for a 1
vote on the question of changing the t
name of the town of Yorkvllle to York, i
has been withdrawn from the house t
calendar. As to what this means, The 1
Enquirer has not been advised. The j
proper procedure In the beginning
would have been for the town council t
to order an election on a petition of a f
majority of the freehold voters, and {
the withdrawal of the petition in no j
wise interferes with this procedure. j
It ia pleating to note the withdrawal f
of that bill to change the name of the {
town of Yorkvllle, from the house cal- 1
endar. Just how it happened we are
not prepared to say; but we are not j
prepared to give the promoters of the ^
scheme any credit therefor. There is j
provision In the law for changing the T
namec of towns upon a petition of a j
majority of the freeholders and a vote j
of the people, and the people who were t
behind this scheme knew it. They j
tried the same thing eighteen years j
ago and got licked more than three to j
one. This time they tried the general
petition racket and although we have
not seen it, we understand that they 1
had on their petition names of people
who were not even qualified voters.

l nt*y uiu nui put m <xny piuvion/n iv?
a vote of the people. That provision
was incorporated by the legislative
delegation, and it did not suit the people
who were manipulating from this
end. notwithstanding bland, blithe and
suave profession to the contrary. Anyhow
the whole matter stands now
where it stood at the beginning, and e
the procedure will have to be by
means of a petition signed by a majority
of. the freeholders and backed by a
majority of the qualified voters. 1

FIFTY-CAR TRAINS
"Well, of all the fool propositions
hat were ever before the legislature
hat fifty-car train bill is about the
vorst, and I hope It doesn't get by,"
aid an old employe of the Southern
ailway yesterday.
"Why, I would have thought you
k'ere In favor of that bill," replied the
lewspaper man.
"Xo, sir, not me. It will do more to
lurt the railroad workers In South
Carolina than anything that ever hap>ened.
You see we are getting good
vages now, and so far as I am conerned
I am satisfied. Yes, I know,"
le continued, "that the Idea is that
he fifty-car train law will give work
o more men, because it will require
nore men to handle the business. It
night do that for a little while, say
hree months, until the railroads can.
e-adjust things to get away from the
aw, and they will be compelled to do
t or go out of business. You know
here is being made a continuous pull
o make Charleston a shipping termilal
for coal. Well, suppose this law
ecomes effective, It will kill Charleson's
prospects as a coal port. Beause
of the high scale of wages the,
louthern 1.3 paying Its men it Is abolutely
necessary that it handle trains
f seventy-five to one hundred cars to
reak even. But If this law cuts the
laximum train to fifty cars, the railoads
will simply go around South,
.'arollna. For Instance, take the vegtable
business from Florida. Thoso
rains frequently are made up of more
han fifty cars going north, but they
on't have to pass through South,
.'arolina. They would come to Jesup,
Ga., then to Atlanta, thence to
Cnoxville, across to Asheville, to
lalisbury and go on to destination. 1
on't see where the men in South CarUna
would be helped by that. Theuj
he business of hauling coal to Charjston,
on account of which theSouthrn
is spending about a million dollars [
or docks and coal yards, would como
o a s'andstlll, and the business would
0 to Savannah, Norfolk or elsewhero
1 states that don't limit the trains."
"Well, who is behind this proposed.
rain limit law?"
"My idea about it is that there some
ttle scheming politician who is playig
for the vote of the railroad work-|
rs on pretense of trying to do some- ]
hing for them. Then of course there |
re lois 01 ranruaa men?engineers, >
remen, brakemen, conductors and so !
n, who are in favor of the law be- |
ause they haven't floured the thing-!
ut ahead. In three months they will j
e kicking themselves for fools, be- !
ause instead of increasing the numer
of trains the law will actually re- j
uce the number. The through freight i
usiness from other states will not.
ome through South Carolina when It
an be avoided, and the business that
? developed in South Carolina, except
he fertilizer traffic, doesn't require
00 car trains. Take away the.
hrough business and there is not.;
tuch left. Then too. some of the en- i
ineers talk about it being such hard [
ork to handle a hundred car train. I
hat is buncombe. It is not any hard- |
r work on an engineer to handle a-i
undred '-ar train when he has the 1
ower to do it with, than it is to (
andle twenty-five or fifty cars when.j
e only has power enough to handle j '
tat many. No, it is just another ; I
heme with a political 'nigger in the ;|
oodpile,' and I for one think it is a.
>olish proposition and hope it won't. .

THE FEDERAL DRUG ACT. ri
CO
"Well, sir, the Harrison act, the new
Federal law regulating the sale of th
drugs, etc., Is surely going to stir up N
things," remarked a York county
man who Is in a position to see the ro
widespread effect of the drug habit in
this, as well as other counties, yester- 8t
day. "If enforced, and there is no a)
doubt it will be, because Uncle Sam r?
usually attends to such matters, there 11
will be little use of opium, morphine, p'
heroin, codeine, cocaine, etc., except M
(or purely medicinal purposes. How
In the world the scores of people who n
have been using various opiates for G
years, are going to get their dally Y
dope, is something I have not been c<
able to figure out P
"By the Harrison act," continued ^
the observer, "the old laudanum bot- Q
tie, which fpr many years has been a
familiar ornament to the family medl- ^
cine chest, will be rarely seen and
'Paplne,' Dover's powders, and vari- ^
ous so-called cold tablets containing
narcotics In some form, will be hard j
to get unless they are really needed, ei
and scores of compounds which can ti
now be bought by any one who has
the price, will after March 1, be sold R
under the closest scrutiny.
"The negro cocaine 'sniffer' will be B
no more after the first day of March, b
for while state and city laws have b
been ineffective In keeping down the a
cocaine habit, this Federal law may v
be depended upon to do the business." a
The gentleman pointed out that ?
there are some features of the law ^
which are not thoroughly understood.
For instance, no drug or compound p
containing more than two grains of &
opium, more than one-fourth of a ^
grain of morphine, one-eighth of a ^
of heroin, or more than one grain of
?
codeine, or any salt or derivative of Q
tnem in one ounce, win de boju 10 me
consumer except upon the written j{
prescription of a physician, dentist or b
veterinary surgeon. ^
Before a physician can give a pre- D
scrlptlon for any of these drugs or
compounds, he must be registered R
with the collector of Internal revenue ei
and must pay a special tax of $1 per T
year. Upon such registration the phy- s<
slclan Is given a number, which Is si
duly recorded. Any druggist who ci
honors a prescription for these drugs u
which does not show the physician's ^
registration number and other neces- g
sary data, will be subject to prosecu- j
tion at the hands of the Federal authorities.
k
Physicians, dentists and veterinary
surgeons who have duly registered p
and paid the special tax will be permltted
to buy supplies of these drugs e
for professional purposes, but they are n
required to make out their order on p
special blanks which must be pur- y
chased of the government agents at
|1 per 100. These orders are made g
out in duplicate, the duplicate being
retained by the physician ordering. q
Both originals and duplicates are &
carefully preserved and filed, subject
to inspection by Federal officials.
Physicians, dentists and veterinary ^
surgeons may dispense the drugs u
which they have purchased in this S(
man nor hilt thpv rAOUlrfld to keeD h
an exact record, showing the date &
when any drug was dispensed or dls- T
trlbuted, and the kind and quantity
dispensed or distributed in each case.
This record will be subject to inspectlon
by Federal officials.
Is
Manufacturers and wholesale and
retails distributors of these drugs are
all required to register and receive a ?
number and pay the special tax of $1
per year. When thus registered they are ^
permitted to purchase the special or- a:
der blanks which are necessary to H
every purchase of drugs of this char- 0
acter. Whenever a wholesaler buys V
from a manufacturer, or a retailer
from a wholesaler, or a retailer from q
a manufacturer, an order blank must a
be used. ft
In order to enforce the law, every v
manufacturer or retailer is required to -A
make a full inventory of his stock, t'
coming under the law, on March 1, ai
showing the quantity he then has on ^
hand Federal insDectors are author- n,
lzed to require further inventories fre- n
quently in order to check up the 01
amounts sold with the orders filed. F
