The different committees representing the different elasses of IMissian working men are called Soviets. ICepreselltativcs of these Soviets are supposed to represent the (Mission people. The congress that convened Wedii-sday had as it principal purpose consideration of the Mresl-lutuvsk treaty, whether 11 would In* accepted, etc. .Irst previous to the meeting of the congress President Wilson telegraphed P10 following message lo be delivered through I In American consul general at Moscow May I not take advantage of the meeting of the colorless of the Soviets to express tin sincere sympathy which the people of the I'nited States feel for the Mussian people at this moment when the ilernian power has been thrust in to interrupt and turn tit.* u liol.i ol en t'o l.i fis uolitltt anil substituted the wishes ?>f ?!ermatiy lor the purpose of the people of Itussia.

The whole heart of the people of the fluted States is with the people of Itussia in the attempt to free themselves 'forever from autocratic government and become tlie masters of their own life." In a roeent speeeh in the fnited Statics senate. Senator Ollte James of Kentucky, told a wonderful story of American efficiency in connection with the repairini; of the numerous big (human vi-ssi Is that were erippled by I in1 to-ruinus \\ in n .MiK i u .i went iiiii* the war. It turned out that .lust bobol'or? America had la-, n formally and ih finitely committed to the war. every one of tin- big Cvriinii vessels in American ports had lirrli badly ?'i i(>plcd by tho Germans ami from information that leaked out at tho time it was Mlrvcd l?> tho Germans that nono of tho vossols could be nttnlo seaworthy for somo yoars.

Tho captain of that ship said as ho was h aving her for an tntorninont ontnp: "if tho Amorioans aiv ovor able to mako hor BO. 1 will tako off my hat to thorn."

America, however. brought into use a now system of electric woldlnB. a system that had never before been employed. and Broat crank shafts and other heavyparts were restored within a few weeks. All kinds of devilish --ontrlvanees were attempted by the tiermans. with the idea of causinB the Americans trouble after they would think the vessels wore all right. For instance, ships were sawed nearly throu.Kh and tho marks of the saw were tilled up with Iron filings. and by various other means to make them appear intact. Water and chemicals were removed from the fire extinguishers and refilled with gasoline.

The new rule of the war depart- t nient under which it proposes to an- t iioum-e the names of killed and (j wounded without giving addresses or t names of nearest relatives, is coining J in for considerable criticism. It is , pointed out that since there are many t soldiers of tlu- same name, hailing ' from wnlelv separated localities, such ? J1 a policy might often cause misery and * distress hi more families than one. In ' fact this very thing occurred one day ^ last week, when an Ohio woman | learned that a soldier who had been r reported killed was not her son; hut s the son of a Montana woman. Both had e\a? tly the same name. The t tvasott assigned lor w luinonnng andrcsscs is to keep important information front tin* enemy. The Now York World comes out as a -lt;i 111 |>ioti of Senator Tillman for iv-clcction. It even suggests that if the iieople of South Carolina could bring about his return to the senate without opposition, "they will confer a distinguished honor upon one ' whose norits are not to be question- 1 e<L" I low both men and times are chunked! A few years ago it would have been regarded as high treason for a northern paper to thus refer to the distinguished senator from South Carolina. Hut Senator Tillman has developed into a power for good in the national congress. At tirst a diamond in the rough. he has taken on the tirillianee and smoothness of the polished stone. We are wondering if time may bring a similar ehange toward another distinguished son of South Carolina, familiarly kaovvn as the Hon. Cole I-. Mease? It may yet he even possible for the skies to fall, charlotte observer. Tillman voted iiKainst the prohibition amendment to the constitution ' and the New York World has been heatedly upbraiding the south for its attitude in favor of prohibition. *As to whether there is any other bond of affinity between the New York World and Senator Tillman, we do not Know, but somehow we do not feel that the people of South Carolina are going to allow themselves to be very much concerned about the advice of the New York World one way or another. Finhtinn in IJt'jKirts from Franco indirntc unceasing aelivit.v anion;' the American troops in France in their operations against the Germans and the daily vasualtv lists give some idea of the seriousness of the work our men are doing. All tin reports so far received tend to make the people l>aek -home feel prouder and prouder of the ^splendid performance of our brave troops. So brilliant have been the American achievements up to this time in fact, that it seems difficult to realize that such things can actually t?e. and the more prudent are naturally appre- J hensivc as to what may develop later. The Herman assault at Verdun, commencing in February, 1916. and continuing for six months, has been described as the bloodiest and most terrific military operation that has previously occurred in the history of the world: yet an American correspondent who saw the severest fighting at Verdon tells us that the German artillery fire there was not nearly so severe as that which was recently directed against the American troops north of Toul not long ago. u After the Germans had swept the American positions north of Toul with a a hurricane of shells for more than an y hour, their infantry came forward in V ttack. By all the experience of the >aat the Germans expected to find the American defense completely demolshed. and as for such American troops s had not been previously torn to iU-ctm, It was expected that they I roiild be round cowering behind such ?or protection as might be left, and eady to (jive themselves up to the list German soldier who should aps-ar to take them in charge. But the ermans did not find any such thin:?. V\v of the Americans had been k ill d, and the others were standing heir ground ready to light it out with he oncoming infantr> in a way that eitainly must have been a surprise to Jl Germany it not to the balance of he worlri. Then we were told again that when he Americans tried their hand this reek at smashing up German Jeenci s. the infantry that made the asoult in the wake of the hurricane if lire, found little in the German : renches but heads, arms, legs and a ev. badly wounded men who were asily taken prisoners. 'I'hiii is a part of tin- story. Of ourse Americans have been killed, rounded and captured: hut up to this line the losses they have sustained iave heen nothing like the losses they ia\e inflieti'd. And in spite of the earful work, their wounds- anil the liird knoeks they are receiving, the uiterieans continue as keen as fresh loiuids for a hunt. Listen ill I lie words of that bravo a plain in "No Mini's l-md." not long g o: "Although they outnuiilher us i'ii to one. I toys, we can lick "eni!" ' A few days a to. an American priiii begged for permission to take wo prispners to the rear. The cap- 1 ilin a ran I ed the rei|tiesl. hut because 1 f the signiIleant manner in which the ' irivate was fondling the point of his 1 iiMinit. tile captain was led to relink with a smile: "Hut it is the idea I hi know, to Ki't thi'in back alive." < However, let us not l?e too sail- I nine hi connection witli what has i appt'iietl up to this time. The fact hat tin- Americans found no Cermans j i tl.e trenches in front of them when | ln ? charged tin- other day, may t lean one thing and it may mean > nun-thing else.

Here is one source of satisfaction: 1 II of us have helieveil all along that 1 lan for man the Americans are as * ooil as the Hermans in spite of the v ng traininu that the Hermans have to ' heir ailvautaue. Now we have the roof of the matter ami the proof is l< ilinu higher every ilay. Not only is ie American as uooil as a Herman. 1 in very likely one American, as that 1 inericaii captain saiil. is as good as ii Hermans. Itut still let no man t lake the mistake of underestimating i<- task we have in lianil. It is go- h iu to take some terribly heavy easu- I Hies to overrun the Herman lines * i a way that will really count, ami t I'fore the task is completed, most c kely thousands and thousands of t rave Americans will have to give up y teir precious lives.

PURE BRED PIGS The movement recently inaugurated by the extension workers of Clemsoii college and the banks of the state, dlong with others who saw proper tc loin In. to bring more pure bred hogs Into the state has progressed very nicely. Three hundred or more hogs ire included In the first attempt. These jows have been reaching purchasers by express from the west for the pasl week and they are still coming in, They are being distributed among farmer boys, members of the Pig clubs who agree to pay for them in cash or In kind, and with good luck there will be a large Increase of pure-bred hogs in the state by next fall. Mr. L. L. Baker, director of the Boys' Corn and Pig clubs in the state, has given out x list of the bankers and others who ire financing the movement for the purchase of pigs. The York county list is as follows: Citizens' Bank and Trust company, Rock Hill, five Duroc-Jersies. National Union Bank, Rock Hill, ten Ouroc-Jersies. Peoples National Bank. Rock Hill, 15 Duroc-Jersies and one Poland Jhlna. First National Bank, Fort Mill, 11 Ouroc-Jersies. Loan and Savings Bank, York, five Ram psh ires. Hill and Company, Sharon, three Ouroc-Jersies.

Greene, con. structing quartermaster at ("amp " Greene, and a party of officers went | to' Gastonia yesterday according to the 1 Charlotte Observer to inspect the site , of the proposed artillery range there " vvith the view of immediately begin( ning construction work, which Gen erul Cameron hopes to have com. pleted in a week or ten days, it was ' learned yesterday. The work of layr ing pipe lines and stringing light wires has been in progress since Monday morning. The artillery camp will be ' built Just beyond the limits of the . town of Gastonia. At headquarters of the Fourth di, vision, it was leurne<l that General j Cameron hopes to have artillery' units begin firing practice within lu days i or two weeks. ' During discussion of the work that is to be done in preparation of the ' range and by the artillerymen when ; they begin practice, it was said that a camp capable of accommodating one regiment, at least, would bw built. Other work Includes clearing away underbrush in certain sections of the range area, the building of observation towers and the erection of Wireless .stations on the highest point of King's Mountain. The firing of the artillery will be directed by officers stationed at the observation i>osts on the mountnin, i which is the nearest possible approach to the aerial observation employed on the fighting fronts. Results of the firing and directions for changing the ranges will be sent by wireless to the batteries. In this particular phase of work, the signal corps troops will cooperate with the artillerymen. Though the tiring practice will begin with elementary work, it is expected to advance the units rapidly and probal.ly within two or three weeks they will have reached the point in practice where they will begin to lay down their barrage fire. The ordnance of the artillery units at this camp consists of two types. It is not expected that the sounds of the tiring will be a source of annoyance to the people of Castonia. though it will be possible for residents there to pluinly hear the reports, it was understood. YORK IN THIRD PLACE York county still holds third place in the sales of war savings certificates .. ? -i utnnuiu 1 n?l f 11Aft ami 1111 iil niMiiipo. ?iu?4 ?nv in this county is just now being fully launched. According to a statement made by the state chairman the sides reported throughout the state during the week ending March 2nd aggregated $49,580.50, which is an increase of approximately t>5 per cent over the preceding month. Total sales to March 2 amount to $277,453.25. The total sales by counties with the capita average arc given. War Savings Stamps are just beginning to move briskly in this state. There ought to be an increase of over 100 per cent in the reports for the week of March ?, which will be tabulated on the 14th. We are still selling very much below the rate of the country at large. It is important that vigorous campaigns be waged in every part of the state to bring, home to the people the urgent necessity of supporting the governmentlby the purchase of these stamps ?^d Ive opportunity which they afffa i^rsystematlc saving. 1 ,a/JPqilM [ thoriues at Washington for the entire country is based on $20, for every man, woman and child during the entire year 1018. South C'aroi Una has thus far put in only 17 cents per capitu. We ought all to endeavor to produce several times this amount each week. In other parts of the country reports are not infrequent of towns that have taken more than their quota already. There ought not to be a single person in this state who hus not be, gun the purehuse of these stamps. We ought to have at least $10U,0UU ' sales for the week of March 9. and i our objective should be to bring the i sales up to half a million a week be! fore the end of the month. There never was a more attractive opportunity of patriotic service and self help offered to this state.

S. Glasscock of Catawba R. F. D. No. 1, was in Yorkville Tuesday ' and In conversation with Here and ' There, mentioned incidentally that of IS plows running on his place, every' ' one of them has corn enough of their ' own raising to do, and all but four have enough of their own meat. "Well, what about your having enough ? of your own meat to run the other ; four plows?" asked here and There. Mr. Glasscock admitted that he had the meat, and from the way he said it. there was reason to suspect that he might be able to furnish a little more if necessary. "1 am figuring," said a well known farmer to Here and There yesterday, "that by this time next year the farmer who has not raised his own I ailUOS will ??vv uv ?w.v w evv That is." he explained, "by that time the food administration will have ruled that only non-farmers will be able to purchase food from the merchant and farmers will be told that since they had the opportunity to provide for themselves, and didn't, they could fo without." It was an unusually intelligent man who said this, and quite ^ big farmer, too. But he Is wrong, and Here and There told him so. There will never be a time in this countir when the farmer's money Is not as good as anybodv else's money. He should raise food, of course; but not for the reasons he suggests. In the*<j times food itself is money?better t loney than silver and gold. In\ stead of money buying food now, it is more like food buying money. People who have the means to produce food are very foolish not to do it, and that is about all. "This unwise mixup in the tax returns caused by some people making their returns on a 100 per cent valuation, while others held close to the same old figures, furnishes opportunity for better equalization," said a gentleman who is familiar with the tax machinery to "Here and There" yesterday. "You can say what you please." he continued, "but there is hardly any such thing as equalization on the tax books. There are taxpayers and lots of them, whose property as shown by the books is far less in amount Hum lots of other people who have much less property. There are men who are worth from forty to fifty thousand dollars who do not pay us much taxes as other men who are worth only ten or fifteen thousand ?n.l t Kni'u Ofu rttlidf IliUinlp who own property to the value of five or six thousand dollars who do not pay as much taxes as other men who ure worth only two or three thousand dollars. These facts are notorious, and there is not a fair minded man anywhere who will not acknowledge that such conditions should be corrected. We have not got a board of assessors in the county that would knowingly let such conditions stand either collectively or individually; but the boards are almost helpless. They can act in cases only where they are sure of the facts and there are lots of cases in which they do not know the facts. However, if these 100 per cent returns about which we have been hearing so much are really as numerous as we have been led to infer, the boards will be struck with some of them in their efforts to adjust matters and secure that much nearer approach to equalization. Perhaps all this row that has been raised may be some good after all." "There is a very great need for a tightening up in business practices," said a local business man to Here and There a few days ago. "Credit is too cheap, and the fault is as much with the creditor as the debtor. It is more with the creditor. Credit is a Very importaut matter, but it should not be forced upon anybody. You seldom hear of a banker begging anybody to borrow his money. He has the money and he is always glad to lend It to responsible business people? only he knows who has the ability and the disposition to meet obligations when they are due, but he does not force his money even on these. The borrower comes to the bunker with an application or a request for a loan, and there is about the transaction that which impresses both lender and borrower with the idea that the most important consideration is the date of payment. Merchants do not have sufficient regard for this consideration. They seldom have an understanding us to the exact time when payment is to be made, and there being no exact time fixed there is no time consideration. The buyer considers that he is to pay when he has the money, and very often he goes further and considers that the debt can wail until he has money for which he can think of no other use. All this should be changed. Merchants should grant credit bused on a specified date and creditors should be taught that if payment is not forthcoming on the date specified, then there "will be procedure very much the same as is followed by the banks. Business credit should be the same us business cash, and credit that is quasi charity should be so recognized by both parties to the transaction at the time obligations on that basis are created." WITHIN THE TOWN ? Easter conies March 31 this year. ? The street sprinkler got in some good work Wednesday morning. ? The local exemption bourd feels that It is over the main |?art of its work and it Is feeling relief. It is a long, hard siege of it that the board has hud. 7Pne??r"*$eere"TtfenTV-five"or fKTrty farmers in town yesterday for the purpose of having cane seed threshed, and I'hlef Love's thresher was kepi bus;, during a good part of th<^ day. ? itev. J. E. Muhuffey is receiving quite a number of subscriptions for his new hook, "What Ails the World." lie is asking for advance subscriptions because of the very heavy initial cost of publication. ? Weekly war pictures, usually shown on Wednesday night, have become a feature of the entertainment at the Star Theatre. These pictures have proved quite interesting to the liutrons?along with the rest ol the programme. ? Drafted men are again reminded that both Drs. Cartwright and Kennedy have offered free consultation and gratuitous work in connection with their teeth. The offer is without any strings and is purely out of concern for the present comfort and future well-being of those drafted men. ? Members of the local Farm Loan association have in a number of applications for loans and Mr. M. K. Cobb, the secretary of the association, would like to have these applicants to know that an appraiser will be here shortly, probably within the next week or ten days. ? "We have received two cars of mules this week," said H. B. James yesterday, "and already we have about let one of them go." At the suggestion that the season was advancing and there would be but little further demand, he smiled and said: "We are going to have to ship several more cars yet." ? Mr. W. S. McClure of the internal revenue department, was at the Loan & Savings bank Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, assisting farmers and others in making out income tax returns, yuite a number of people of the town and vicinity called upon Mr. McClure during his stay and he was kept quite busy. ? Mr. W. L. Williams of Yorkville, was operated upon at the Fennel) infirmary in Hock Hill yesterday morning for appendicitis. He had been suffering with a chronic case of the trouble for quite a while and satisfactory diagnosis having been established by means of X-ray pictures, he decided not to postpone the operation any longer. ? "I was watching the paper this morning for that long list of people who were waiting to plow gardens," said Superintendent of Education Carroll to the reporter Tuesday. The list did not appear for the reason that no volunteer plowmen had given in their names. A list of the people who would like to have their garden's plowed, however, would make quite a bunch of names. ? When the Delphos Minstrels played in their own neighborhood not long ago. they made one great big hit. People went out to the show for the purpose of enjoying it, and they got what they went for. The members of the troupe have been doing a lot of good hard work to make an enjoyable entertainment, and now that they have consented to come to Yorkville it is up to the people to go out and make up the audience. The people need a good laugh anyway. ? At its regular meeting last Tuesday night Big Chief Tribe No. ?1. < Improved Order of Red Men of York- 1 ville. elected C. Y.

The bottlers complain that they cannot get the stuff to make the ale with and nobody seems to know what the trouble is unless the demand for soft drinks at the military camps is making a drought elsewhere. Oocaeola is selling at the same old price; but because of the increased demand on account of the drought, of other drinks, there is no telling how long the old pi ice will hold.

The understanding is that If , the meeting of this requisition goes beyond the board's quota of the first , draft, it will be allowed in the next ' cull. 1 vocal board No. i has already 1 furnished a number of extra men as , volunteers, and its present idea is that ' It will send only four more in response , to this extra call. It Is possible,,how- ' ever, that the plans of the board may ' be changed. In Charge of Military Police. Rock Hill Herald: Major W. A. Fair, in charge of the military police at Camp Sevier. Ureenville, who Is here for court as a witness against some of the offenders taken into custody l?y the government, states that it is a hard problem to properly control the immoral element about the camps. The provost guard is ably assisted by the civil authorities, but it Is hard to catch the offenders. The soldiers caught are given military punishment, but the state laws pertaining to prosecution are such that it is next to impossible to secure sufficient evidence to Insure a stiff sentence. However, the evil is being gradually overcome. Major Fair thinks and when the raw men have been a little more disciplined the trouble can be more easily handled. Twenty-five Miles an Hour. The lawmakers of South Carolina do not want automobile drivers to drive anywhere with unnecessary recklessness; but still they are to be allowed to go as fast as twenty-five miles an hour instead of only fifteen miles as heretofore, provided conditions are favorable. The act as amended at the lust session of the general assembly, is as follows. "Section 1. That section 601, Code of Laws, 1012, Vol. 2 (criminal code) be amended by striking out the word 'fifteen' on line five thereof, and inserting In lieu thereof the word, 'twenty-five,' so that said section when so amended shall read as follows: Sec. 601. No person shall operate a motor vehicle on a public highway at a rate of speed greater than is reasonable and proper at the time and place, having regard to the traffic and use of the highway, and its conditions, or so as to endanger the life, limb or property of any person, or in any event at a greater rate than twenty-five miles an hour, subject, however, to the other provisions In section 602 and 608, inclusive." Meat Situation Improving.?Evl- > dence that the public made general j response to the food administration's t appeals for increased productions and s decreases in consumption of meat Is J shown In statistics furnished the g food administration by the depart- j ment of agriculture. i Meat animals in the United States increased by 6,300,000 In the year end- r ing January 1, 1918, the Increase conr c sisting of 1,247,000 cattle, 3,781,000 I hogs and 1,284,000 sheep. Inspections t of beef for slaughter Increased 2,039,- t 651 but hogs decreased 21.3 per cent. \ The gains In available meat indl- t cated by these figures were what caus- t ed the food administration recently to c relax restrictions on meat consump- t tion so that there might be greater i savings of wheat for export. c Exports of all kinds of meats de- t creased during the year, due to lack of ships. Prices paid for meat animals were j higher than ever before. The average e price of beef advanced from 39.50 per c 100 pounds in 1916 to $11.60 in 1917. y Hogs advanced front $9.60 to $15.15. $ and sheep .ncreaaed 40-per cent e ? ?m t After the Dogs.?Strong pressure is a being brought to bear upon congress I for legislation against the dogs of the v country. Western sheep men are be- b hind the movement They say there are 10,000,000 dogs in the country and c they estimate that these dogs kill and >< eat a million sheep. They argue also that the dogs consume much food that might otherwise be used to help win the war. The proposition Is to levy a tax of $6 on male dogs and $10 on female dogs, and turn the money over to the government for the purpose of enforcing the law. The claim is that state and county governments cannot enforce dog laws for the reason that local people will not proceed against the dogs of neighbors and friends.
