There is a great scarcity of Ice , In Columbia and many home*, were { forced to put through Sunday, one of , the very hottest da>* ot the year, , without a piece of ice. ? A statement Issued by the National City bank of New York, regarding the value of war materials shipped to the Russian Arctic ports of Archangel and Kola, where a state of war now exists, gives an indication of the great amount j of stores which are stacked up In the neighborhood of those ports and which are being guarded by American marines as well as fighting men of the other allies. Hince the beginning of the war $<(>0,000,000 worth of materials were sent to the two ports from this country. But the rail service between the seaboard and interior early became * 1 uhlnmontk to cioggeu. lu mi ui? ? Archangel and Kola totaled $314,630,000, moat of which probably remains there. Since the beginning of thia year $3,000,000 worth of supplies have been sent. Including materials sent to the Pacific port of Vladivostok, America has sent to Russia, altogether, , goods to the value of $1,000,000,000 since the beginning of the war. ? Hopes founded on American aerial 1 aid to the Allies soon will lw realised. , says Captain Hertaux, the famous French aviator who has just returned from a visit to the United States, in a statement to the Associated l'ress. Both American pilots and American ( machines are coming overseas in large numbers. The captain's statement follows: "We now have several thousand American pilots in France. They have arrived after adequate training so they have only to put the finishing touches to the ulready sound Instruction. We have not sufficient chaser planes to mount all these pilots but the machines are being manufactured more quickly than the pilots can complete their training. It Is certain that America ajone within a few months will be able to more than sup- , ply all Its aviators with machines. America still has something to learn In the construction of chaser planes, i but progress Is being shown ever> day. The Liberty motor now is ready and machines fitted with It are being turned out rapidly. The American bombardment airplanes are of th? ] finest quality and they are reaching ( the front regularly. The day of errors in which we had our share is now over. The hopes which the public founded on Americun aviation will < soon be realized. ? (lovernment hope for a billion bushel wheat crop received a .setback Tuesday when the department ot agriculture July forecast showed a re- | duction of 40.UU0.0U0 bushels in the | prospective crop. Unfavorable weather conditions during June cut the ! estimated harvest to 801,000,000 bush- I els from the 931.000.000 bushels fore- I cast in June. Production estimates on , other cro|?s ulso were slightly reduced. A record production of corn. the most valuable of ;i 11 the country's crops. Is promised with an estimate of I 3,160,000,000 bushels. Although June weather was somewhat unfavorable for most crops, Indications are that the season's harvest will make this . the bumper year. In addition to a t record crop of corn, barley, rye, sweet . potatoes and rice are forecast to exceed all previous yearly production, and the hurvest of outs, while potatoes and hay will be larger than the } average of five years. 1912-1010. Wheat, notwithstanding the reduction caused by the month's poor weather, ? will have a larger production than i the five year average of 809,000,000 , bushels. Government crop experts explain that the final output of the 1 crop will he larger or smaller than j forecast by them Tuesday as con- < dltions from now to the time of the t harvest are better or worse than the average. ? .ii least 109 persons, most of tl*. . negroes, were killed and as many more injured, a score seriously. In a head-on collision last Tuesday between two passenger trains on the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railway at Dutchman's Kend, five miles from Nashville. Most of th? killed and Injured were on a 'ocal train from Nashville Which ca Tied . several coaches full of workmen going to a nearby powder plant. The other train was an express from Memphis and the west and after th< two engines had reared and fallen beside the track the heavy coaches of , the express ploughed through lh< baggage car on the accommodation train and demolished two othei coaches. Many of the dead were killed almost Instantly but others wen pinned beneath the wreckage and could not be removed before they succumbed. Doctors and nurses wen rushed to the scene from Nashvilh and usslsted In rescuing the injured as well as caring for them. The injured. soine of whom are thought to i Ik* fatally hurt, were brought to Nashville In ambulances and automobiles and ara being cared for at hospitals. The dead were taken to morgues in Nushville and relatives sought to identify the bodies, but in some cases this was impossible. As i the crews of both locomotives wen . killed the cause of the collision may never be established. 1 ? The next German blow, writes a 1 ' - . V. ?

But nobody doubts that it will be the hardest he is capable of. once his men ure set In motion or that It will eclipse all previous battles in point of violence and men and material engaged. The strange lull which has spread for weeks. up and down the lines, from one end to the other?save for tiny battles here and there, like the Fourth of July show along the Somme, continues to hover rrlmly over the west front. Even the enemy airmen are sticking closer to their roosts. Much has been printed regarding Hindenburg*s delay. Some say "the Flanders fever" is the cause?other say lack of men; others, that he is waiting until the roads to the forward lines are better so that big guns may be brought up; others believe the morale of the German troops is low. Prisoners taken since the Hamel tight declare they had had no food for two days, owing to the confusion in the lines. Low flying war planes Anally dropped bundles of "bully beef." "dog biscuit" and hard tack along the advanced positions. The scarcity of airmen of fleers Is growing, according to an enemy order, which says that fewer officers must do recon- t nalssance flights, non-coms being sub- K stituted. Planes are manufactured with difficulty owing to the lack of raw materlala Some of those delivered are breaking under the strain of fly- x ing, according to captured letters. t Prisoners also say there is much illness in the army, due to Flanders fever, 1 grippe.

An entirely new system under d which It la expected that the delivery c of government checks to dependents of sailors and soldiers has been Inaugurated by the treasury as a result of ' amendments which have been made to r the war risk Insurance act Just approv- t ed by the president. For several , months there has been complaint. * which was to an extent justified that * the war risk insurance bureau was not r speeding up its work and was several a thousand checks behind in Its work. A storm of protest at the delay was brewing on Capitol Hill and in order to ? facilitate the work of the bureau the p laws creating it have been amended 0 and new methods adopted. One of the provisions is that after July 1 every c enlisted man in the military or naval b service, regardless of rank or pay. n must make the same compulsory allot- n raent to his wife and children?112 per , month. To this allotment the government will add a monthly allowance 8 ranging from 16 a month for the moth- p erless child and $16 for a wife without t children up to a maximum of $60. In addition to this, the enlisted man. if he , desires government allowances for his t1 dependent parents, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, he may make voluntary allotments to them?Axed by the new amendment at , $6 a month, where allotment is made for a wife and children and $16 where 1 no such allotment is made Before tl :his allotments were on a sliding scale md varied according to the soldier's p?ay or the number and personnel of lis family. The new system will simplify the administration of allotments ind allowances.

Entered at the Fostofflce at York as Mail Matter of the Second Class. FRIDAY. JULY 12. 1918. York county has got to buy her quola or war savings stamps and she may tis well get done with it. A dollar saved is a dollar made and every man who puts a dollar In war savings stamps is two dollars better off. There are quite a number of people of the present day who have forgotten that John L. McLaurin once defeated John Gary Evans for the United States senate; but John Gary Evans has evidently forgotten nothing of the kind. Referring to the appointment of Christie Benet as United States senator, the Anderson Tribune aptly quotes: "Some men are born great; tome achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." It would have been a rather highhanded proceeding Indeed for the state executive committee to have undertaken to Inquire Into the Democracy of either Mr. McLaurin or Mr. Bleasc. The voters of the state are fully qualified to attend to that The entrance of Thomas II. Peoples into the race for the unexpired term ofj Senator Tillman will be ;t tourcc of satisfaction to a good ninny people in the state who would life to have a little choice as to who they ?hall vote for. The German newspapers are declaring that Secretary Baker's statement that there are more than a million Americans in France, Is a lie. The Americans, however, will soon make| the Germans think there are ten mil- J lions of them instead of only a million. There is going to he need lor lots of dove and tire wood next winter, and here should be some systematic co>pcration about the matter with reference to the cutting and marketing )f this wood. There can be no I artier time than now for tuking the ".a'uleet up in earnest. for.^co much pro rastJnation nyfcy-~lead to unnecessary luflferlngv'' f *nd qt^ Belgium, flew aCtasu *tne - rmgltsh channel to London in an airplane last Saturday morning. The object of th< visit was to attend the silver weddiny anniversary of King George ami Queen Mary. It is said to have been the first time that any ruler has cvei made an air flight from one countr> to another. Why Governor Manning appoinwu Christie Benet instead of Tommy Tucker. we do not know, unless probably he does not know Tommy Tucker. We know Tommy Tucker; but we do not know Christie Benet Of course Christie Benet may be as nice a man as Tommy Tucker, and we are not saying he is not. We have always had an idea, however, that such honors ought to go to men of such distinguished service that they would bo pretty well known to almost everybody. The necessity for investing in war savings stamps did not end with the recent big drive. Every individual who failed to buy as many stamps as he could during the drive, should buy nore now, and every individual who Tailed to buy then should buy now. It s important, very important that evfrybody own stamps, as many of them is they are able to own. York county is still to buy a half million dollars' vurth of these stamps and the people ihould lose no time in making their purchases. By the way, readers, how nany stumps have you purchased? There is a great derth of trained luises all over this country, and the iced has never been greater. The var is taking our young men. and caving our young women for much f the work that has heretofore been lone by the men. But this business ot tursing is one for which women arc est fitted, and knowleilge_of it nev r comes amiss. In fact every woman vho knows about nursing is better op ?hn? knowledge in whatever cana ity. If there has ever been any langer of overcrowding the profesion, which is doubtful, there is cerainly no such danger now. The field r certainly worth thorough Investlration. The food situation in Germany, vhlch is known to have been critical in he winter of 1917-18, Is now believed o be much wisier; but Germany is now uttering from another shortage that is lardly less embarrassing. There has leveloped a tremendous scarcity of loth for clothing for munition workre and even soldiers at the front, and n order to relieve the needs of the nunitlon workers and soldiers requisiion Is being made on the extra dotting of the civilian population. The erms of the plan of procedure are ather mild on their face. In that they peclfy that people who have ' extra" lothea must give them up to the govirnment; but In actual operation this lan of procedure la weighing heavily n the civilian population. In many aaes It is taking all the clothes to be ad and leaving non-producers of the ilddle and lower classes practically aked. The Idea la that workers and ghters must be clothed and fed reardless of what happens to other eople, and as the result a large porlon of the population of Germany is eing reduced to desperate straits in he matter of clothing. * Supervisors in th# Primary. A prospective candidate for county upervisor has asked the editor of 'he Enquirer If he is to understand hat it is not necessary to present a petition asking- for an election for township supervisor. The Enquirer has not said anything like that. < What The Enquirer said was that the executive committee Is without any legal authority to require such a 1 petition, and that to require such a petition is violation of the law of the party and the law of the state. Hut we are not advising an>bod> not to present the |>otition the executive committee prescrilss. On the contrary, we advise the people of those townships who desire to recommend their supen isors to present these [ictitions. Failure oi a township to recommend a supervisor in the primary will prohahly result in the recommendation of the supervisor of that township h> the executive committee or a few members of that body. We still say that it is contrary to law for (lit- executive "committee to make the presentation of any kind of a petition a prerequisite to the privi- ; lege ot nominating a township sup< rvisor in the primary. Iiut it must Ik- remembered tliat the executive committee has been violating the law in this matter all alone, and so long as this body persists in its attitude in regard to this matter, there is no way out of it except to comply with the committee's dictum or ap|s*al to the court. If a township should attempt to vote for a supervisor in disregard of this unlawful petition requirement, it is natural that the executive committee would still further vldicate its arbitrary action and refuse to recognize that vote. We are without Interest in this matter, except that knowing the law. we feel that it is our duty to inform the public as to the facts. And while we are sure as to the law in the ejise we would not recommend that anybody take It to the courts for after all no decision that might he won there could have any binding effect. Under the law the appointment of township supervisors rests with the governor. The voters in the primary ran only recommend; they cannot elect. Kven though a township k comply with the committee's arbitrary ruling as to a |x'tition and give a candidate every vote in the township, the governor is not bound to ap|>oint the man so recomim nded. And even If the committee should hf forced to obe> the law. there could be i no decision until after it was t?K> late 10 do any good. W. S. S. SALES.

C. r Lytle of Fort Mill, now with the 118th Infantry in France. The contents of the card are Included In a printed form ' from which the writer strikes out all that he does not want to say. Mr. Lytic has struck out all but: "I am quite. Letter follows at first opportunity." Sentences which he struck out were as follows: "I have been admitted to the hospital, and am getting on well and hope soon to be discharged." "I am being sent down to the base." "I have received your letter, parcel, telegram, dated "I have received no letter from you lately, or for a long time." WITHIN THE TOWN 1 ?The club roll for No. 1 is in the sheriff's office and the club roll for N'o. 2 Is at I. W. Johnson's store. People on the east side of Main street, and the Chester and Lincoln roads, register In ? No. 2, and people on the west side of n llnM rpff1fit*r In No. 1. ?

Simmons, proprietor of the Shandon hotel, thoogh in the eyes v of many, a new-comer, is In reality air I old citlsen. He was c clerk in the town t many years ago and was practically t raised here. And it is a fact that he is running a good hotel, the best the town t has bad for yean. The fact is attested 1 | by the reoord of the registers.

There were changes in the munlcl>al election ticket that was nominated n the courthouse last Friday, because t developed that Mr. C. R. Simmons tad no municipal registration ticket, ind several of the nominees for alder nen declined to serve. There was anither meeting last Monday night, and .t an election held on Tuesday the Allowing were elected: I. W. Johnson, nayor; J. C. Parrott, E. A. Hall, J. M. Vrguson, W. M. McConnell, J. waren Quinn, J. H. Carroll, aldermen; Dr. V. G. White, commlaaioner of public vorks; J. M. Stroup and Dr. R. A. Jratton, school trustees. In all, fifty otes were cast. ? Although many of the surrounding owns have been suffering more or ess distress for lack of Ice, thanks to he enterprise of the Yorkville Cotton >11 company, Yorkville has not sufered. By reason of increased prices .t the factories and advanced freight ntcs the locnl people have been comtelled to advance prices somewhat; ?ut still they are selling Ice on a mailer margin of profit than last ear. More ice Is being used In the ommunity than was being used last ear; but up to this time the people inve had no hint of a shortage or of hi- difficulties with which the local lealers are meeting in keeping up the upplv. ? If the corporation of Yorkville (hall really go bankrupt by the default >f intereet on Its bonded Indebtedness, t will be necessary for the court to ake charge and administer the revenues. And so far as the way out Is oncerned, there will be nothing for it han to rely upon the business license ax law. This law provides for an suitable tax on all businesses and nrofesolons on a basis of capital invest?d or gross Income. Ia case of a business based primarily on Invested espial the tax should be levied on that apltal, and In the case of professions leriving income from knowledge, wit ind the like. It is Intended that the tax ne levied on income. There is no per:entage limit to the taxes that may be evled. If It shall devolve upon a court nfflcial to levy such a license tax he will naturally undertake to secure lomethlng like equity by requiring tax's alike from all on a basis of the same jercentage of gross Income or Invested apitol, as the case may be. He will tardly pursue the plan heretofore folowed of taking the taxes out of those east able to pay; but will make the >ig follows pay in the same ratio is the little fellows. And since this Is vhat Is going to happen In case the ourt has to take charge, it will be a nighty good idea to forestall such a happening by the adoption of such a f>olicy now. It is perhaps also well to emember that if the town is placed In :he hands of a receiver, there will not inly be a big rake off for the receiver jr receivers, bat the attorney or attorteys who shall be the advisers of the receivers will also have to be paid luite liberally.
