It has Just come out that for several ?
t'l?, months, all unknown to the world at s
I to large the Americans have had in use P
be an aerial telephone system by which tl
airplanes were in constant conversa- il
ljon tional communication with the ground
in- and with each other. In spite of the ^
noise of propellers and other noises the 81
en- P?0P'? in the airplanes could hear and 0
ni- say what they pleased in whatever di- v
vel. rection. The Germans had a strong s
suspicion of the new invention; but
not that was all. This information?the
the information that the Germans were
suspicious?came out through the cap- P
ans turo 0f an ori{er to their airmen to P
u...i bring down for examination one of the l<
..
tod enemy planes fitted with means of tel- v
rer- ,phone communication. It does not
1 appear, however, that the new inven- n
lvil tion had fallen into the hands of the "
in- (lermans previous to the armistice. c<
the a o
'at' "ke that idea suggested by Su- *'
idi- pcrintendent of Education fan-oil for
1'V the erection of a memorial to the sol- a
t>(}< {
Ht,. diets in the form of an administration
oi?- building for public education. We p
ion. agree with Mr- farrull that there is no c'
Val other form of memorial that will con- a
ill'
fer greater honor and credit on either
A
on- the people or the soldiers. There is no
l|V' other form of memorial or public in- al
'n* vestment, for that matter, that is cal- ri
ons culatcd to contribute more to the pre*>- tc
ent and future welfare of our people. Ci
Of course the raising of $25,000 or $50- u
0t ooo is no easy matter: but it can be
done if our people approve the ideu J
is and set out to do it. The legislative Cf
delegation would be fully warranted in in
to making an appropriation to cover the **
it's entire expense: but rather than this ^
ign w would prefer an appropriation of a to
part of the necessary money to be T
,.r. raised by taxation, and the balance to p<
e<
tes be supplied by private subscription. ^
But however it is done this idea ought (1<
,m, to be earned out and there ought to be ^
in no unnecessary delay about it. ,
n - . m ?
nt Wh'l? w? have no exact information _
re- on the subject, individuals who are in Ci
\r- the best position to know, bankers, Ai
trchants and others, advise us that
a rule farmers owe but little money
the merchants, fertilizer people,
,nks. etc. Most of the farmers have
ttled their obligations, and most of
ch cotton as they now hold, which is
p inconsiderable amount, is comparably
free. If this is true it is an escially
fortunate circumstance, more
pecially in view of the general situa<n.
All the speculative world sees as
has never seen before, that tremen>us
prices will rule in the case of this
ar's cotton crop. There are those
ho for obvious reason, are manufacring
all kinds of arguments to the
>ntrary. even though they do not be(ve
a word of what they are saying,
o matter what the bears may do in
e manipulation of the future market,
o actual cotton is eventually going to
11 at a high price, and the farmers
ho hold are going to get that price,
tie farmers who sell at present prices
e going to make a present to the
imblers of the difference between the
esent prices and the prices that are
ilng to prevail after a while- Of
lurse there are no doubt those, farm's
and others, who are now carrying
itton on borrowed money, and they
ay be squeezed out; but even with
lat cotton is going to bring good
rices before the next crop. We are
table to conceive of anything that
tuld stop tne ultimate advance except
lother war that would put a stop to
-eun transportation.
WIhi Distresses the Cotton?
Senator Ed Smith gave It out in Coinbla
last Tuesday night that he had
formation to the effect that upon the
gning of the armistice Liverpool or?red
the sale of 600,000 hales of fuires
on the New York exchange at 10
nta a pound less than cotton was
ringing in October when there apeaml
to be no reasonable hope of an
trly export demand.
If they grew cotton in England, or
reii if they hud a big surplus over
ieri\ ns they had in 1004, when the
iverpool bears shipped back to Xew
ork thousands of bales of cotton that
ley had already brought* over in an
Tort to break down the strong niaret
that lunl been so ably built up by
iayne and Brown, we would not feel
ke we had reasonable complaint
gainst this most recent slap at the
irmers of the south.
But they do not raise any cotton in
>.?l..n,l ?v.?l ma? Anlt* thot thoir
locks right now are at the lowest ebb
tat has ever been known In the his>ry
of the trade, certainly since the
ivil war. <?no-third of all the cotton
Itinners of the world are clustered
round Manchester. In an area not
irger than York county, ahd these
pindles alone are hungry for not leas
tan three and a half million bales of
mericun cotton before next June. For
piverpool to be selling cotton under
unditions like that is good excuse for
ulignation and that is what we feel.
Including this one, there has been
(tree short crops of cotton in succeslon.
The Central powers, just defeatd
by the Americans, have had no cotjn
for commercial purposes in Hftyivo
months. Because they have had
o opportunity to spend it elsewhere,
Hey have more gold than all the balnro
of Kurope conhined. Not only
Hat they have a plentiful supply of
otash which we need as badly as they
eed our cotton. To clothe their peole
they would gladly take all the coton
we have within the next twelve
tonths at 4t) or 50 cents a pound, and
iere is this war industries board Blowing
Kngland. which has no cotton,
or anything else that we need very
adly, to rehabilitate herself at the excuse
of southern farmers by raiding
ur cotton market.
It was John L- McLaurin who first
might the people of South Carolina
hat cotton is a matter of world finnee.
and who in his state warehouse
ysleni laid down the principle upon
rhich this commodity should be hauled
for the benefit of those who prouce
it. Those who are now unable to
ee the correctness of Mr. McLaurin's
cachings along this line are dull ineed,
and those who fail to appreciate
,-hat would have happened had he
een supported as he deserved to be.
re still duller. With the warehouse
? mviii r.xit'iHRu u> vi nit: ouuiu, u
hould have been, supported by state
hsuranee and the right kind of u
unking system, Liverpool might go
head and sell her 600.000 or 600,000,00
bales of unspinnaMe futures withut
ever feuzing the 40 or JO cents a
ound that cotton ought to be worth.
But there is something bad wrong
bout this shorty sales business at this
1 me. As we see it right now, the ships
hat bring the soldier?: back ought to
ave plenty of room on their return
oynges for all the cotton we are wlllhg
to spare to Europe at whatever
rice we want to ask, and if the people
f Europe have to pav as much for
heetings and shirtings as we have to
ay here at home, 50 cents a pound for
he man who raised the cotton is not
t all exorbitant.
Senator Smith seems to think that
Ir. Brand and Mr. Baruch know
omothing about this Liverpool 600,00-bale
short sale order. Of course
e are not in a position to know what
enator Smith knows; but we do know
hat, as a short sale artist Mr. Baruch
as quite a reputation. He was comlonl.v
credited with having created thej
anic that followed the president's
eaee note, and it was strongly intima?d
at the time that he did it on adancc
information. And whether there
i any connection or not, it is a relarkably
significant coincidence that
ie present slump in the cotton market
ommenced immediately after he gave
ut his recent interview on price fl*
?*>
We are not in a position to make
ny charges. Wc have no information
i the rirst place, and if we had actual
roof we could be squelched before the
tiarges could get anywhere. But Sentor
Smith is in a position to talk
ithout any danger of being squelched.
Iso he is in a position to bring about
n investigation, and in the interest of
ght and Justice as well as of the cot>n
producers of the south, wo sin?rely
hope he will do it. regardless of
pon whom may fall the blame?

switchboard operators fair pay along
with the other workers. According to
our view the switchboard work calls
for a high order of Intelligence and involves
very great responsibility. The
pay should be in keeping with both
considerations.
An aged darkey went into the Yorkvine
postoftice Wednesday to buy some
thrift stamps to stick on the war savj
ings cards for which he had subscribed.
As the stamps were being delivered
he began to ask questions, and one
of them was: "How long do I have to
keep them?" "They are due and payable
January 1. 1923." replied the
clerk. "I specs I'll be in heaven, by
then." the old darkey observed.
York county's apportionment of the
war work fund was $41,250, and she
has raised it. It makes a splendid
showing under the circumstances. Aft
? Very little cotton moving during
the past few days and consequently
business, though quiet, is not as good
as it would have been otherwise.
? Advices have been received by the
Red Cross that no further surreal
dressings will be needed. The army
has on hand a surplus.
? Rev. J. E. Mahaffey leaves next
week for conference at Chester, and If
the bishop does not send him back
er the signing- of the armistice it was
difficult for anybody to see where there
was need for a sum that had been estimated
on a basis of a larger army
and a long continuance of the war.
This made the work of the canvassers,
in some cases <iuite arduous. The only
reason they could give for collecting
the full amount was that Dr. Mott and
the directors higher up. said it was
necessary. But the canvass was conr
tinued and our splendid people came
down with the money. It was a splendid
exhibition of the broad, generous
spirit of our splendid people.

went into t+ie navy in May. 1917,
and for the most of the time since he
has been in the transport service. He
has crossed a number of times with
troops, and has had more or less experience
with submarines, but he says
that this is a matter that has never
given much concern to the sailors. All
of his outward trips have been made
under convoy and his return trips have
been made alone.
WITHIN THE TOWN.
here It will not be because a great t
many people of. the town and country
surrounding don't think he ought to
do so.
? Mrs. Rebecca Stewart of Yorkvllle.
received a telegram last night advising
her that it has been officially reported
that her son, Meach Stewart, of the
llSth Infantry (Col. Spratt's regiment).
was killed in action on October
8th.
? The sales of the Moore-Kerr properties
by the Atlantic Coast Realty
company aggregated about $11,000.
which included only a part of the property
advertised. J. S- Brice bought
three tracts of the Moore property, two
of twenty acres each and one of twenty-three
acres. The two 20-acre tracts
were bid off at $100 per acre, and the
23-acre tract at $145. P. W. Love
bought nineteen acres of the Moore
tract at $85, and J. E. Johnson bought
eighteen acres of the Kerr tract at
$125. Because the prices that were be
ing realized were not sansiaciurj iu
the owners, the balance of the property
was withdrawn. ,
? Miss Mamie McConnell. trained
nurse, lost a valuable Red Cross' pin
during her work in the recent influenza
epidemic. The pin was one that
may be worn only by professional
nurses, and by them only when they
are engaged in actual Red Cross work,
as was Miss McConnell during the epidemic.
This paragraph is be'ng printed
for the information of the local
public, in order that it may understand
the nature of the loss and be on the
lookout for the pin in the possession of
some unauthorized person.
? Mrs. R. M. Bratton, president of
the local Red Cross, said yesterday
that up to that time the central branch

had been more than a hundred applications
for cartons; but only about
twenty of these cartons had actually
been taken out. The cartons are mailable
up to November SO. tomorrow
week. Cartons have been divided
among the various branches of the
chapter, but up to this time no reports
have been received.
? Mrs. J. L Williams of Yorkville.
received a telegram from the adjutant
general's office at Washington last
Monday night announcing that her son.
Sergeant Hanson Williams, had died in
a French hospital on June 23. of
broncho-pneumonia. While the news
is most distressing. Mrs. Williams is
still hopeful because of the fact that
she has a letter from her son written
from a French hospital on October 1,
and advising her that although he had
been gassed about two weeks before,
he was then getting along very nicely
and he expected to write again in a I
few days. Mrs. Williams is sure that
there is some mistake; but is naturally ,
I very fearful that the message may |

f APPRECIATED APPRECIATION. ?
. Yes. we newspaper people like a
word of commendation occasionally,
Especially if we happen to do anything
to merit such a word. Who is it that
floes not get satisfaction out of such a
Word of appreciation? There may be
such a one; but if there is. we wonder
why he has been taking all his trouble
to please. Of course, if it has been altogether
on uccount of himself, we are
not expecting anything from him. To
uch a selfish cuss as that it would not
make any difference what the public
thought, and really it would not matter.
But most people who strive to
pie ase appreciate a hint of the fact
When they approach in the neighborhood
of success. We do not deny being
very human, and for that, among
pther reasons, we believe that there are
jWy readers of the Enquirer who
will get almost as much pleasure out
of the following letter as we get ourselves:
Gastonia, X. C., November 19. 1918.
L. M. Grist's Sons, Publishers
Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Gentlemen:
I want to avail myself of the privilege
of expressing to you the pleasure
and satisfaction 1 get out of being a
subscriber to The Yorkville EnquirerI
have had this in mind for a long
time, and mgre especially during the
past twelve months, the impulse has
been bobbing up twice a week after
the perusal of the current issue of
your paper; but being a very busy man,
because of first one matter or circumstance
or another, I have not previously
yielded.
1 have Just finished reading practically
every line in your issue of November
19. and although my time is
probably as fully occupied with ordinary
business pressure as it has ever
been. I am letting loose long enough to
tell you that whether considered as a
newspaper or magazine The Yorkville
enquirer is one of the most entertaining
and helpful periodicals that comes
into my home.
Your editorial page Is up to date in
every respect, enlightening and informing
on the different subjects that
concern the world along all lines in
this wonderful era of new and remarkable
endeavor. I have looked all
over the current issue in search of an
item that would not seem to contribute
to the .profitable enjoyment of an
hour or two of wholesome literature
and I have failed to find it
I do not want to be understood as
assuming to be an authority on the
matters about which I am writing: but
as I have said. I um merely trying to
do myself the Justice of telling you
about the pleasure and satisfaction I
derive from the privilege of being on
your mailing list.
Yours truly,
R. B. Babbington.
YORK COUNTY MEMORIAL.
Superintendent of Education John E.
Carroll is in full sympathy with the
idea of a monument to the troops who
have gone from York county to the
world war: but he does not think that
a shaft of stone or a statue of bronze
is the proper form of such a monument.
He has the idea that a much
more fitting monument for the heroes
of York county would be a splendid
administration building for educational
work for the present and future
generations of York county children.
"What I would like to see in the
shape of a monument to the soldiers
of York county, and indeed to this
whole war generation In York county,"
said Mr. Carroll, "would be a
handsome building to be located at the
county seat and to cost anywhere from
*9.vooo to S50.000. I really don't care
how much so it would be creditable to
this splendid county and its splendid
people, with the understanding that its
primary object is a home for past and
present, as well as future military records,
and a present and future home
for the administration of educational
affairs.
"Yes, there is need for such a building.
While it would serve as a memorial,
it would not be altogether ornamental.
There would be in it, first an
auditorium suitable for teachers, trustees
and other educational workers?
an auditorium in which educational
conventions of whatever nature could
be held. Then there could be offices '
for the administrative officials in different
departments of educational
work?an office for the superintendent l
of education, an office for the farm
demonstration workers, and an office
for the home demonstration and girls'
club work and if need be other offices
to accommodate the administrations of 1
other departments that will be needed <
when our activities along educational t
lines begin to develop to something f
like what they ought to be. <
"No. I have not forgotten the primary '
purpose of a memorial. This war has i
shown us in a way that we have never 1
realized before, the real purpose of our 1
existence, the Importance of being
ready and willing to make the supreme t
sacrifice whenever there comes the su- 1
preme demand. I glory in the heroism '
of those brave boys who have gone to *
the front at the call of their country? 1
those who have come before the ex- *
emptlon boards no leas than those who t
have gone to France. When it comes t
o those who have paid the supreme
>rlce on the battlefield, or in the camps
or that matter, we must all bow our
leads in reverence- But I am not unnindfui
ct the fact that there are others
besia^ys those who have enlisted
vho are entitled to honor and respect.
There are the mothers and the fathers
if this generation who not only gave
ip their boys: but who from morning
ill night, month in and month out put
orth every- effort to help their country
tnd their sons in the mighty task that
eemed to be. Then there are the
rives of the soldiers, and yes. all the
rirls. the sisters and sweethearts and
he little boys too. each and every one
las been a fighter and each and every
mi' has done wl>?t he or she could.
This whole generation has measured j
ip. li s a war ^neniuuu, mm n an. jocly
trit-s to dispute the fact. I will
trove it by the boys who went across
hat they could not have done what
hey did do over there except for what
heir fathers and mothers, sisters and
mothers, cousins and aunts did over
lerc.
"So for this administration building
et us have a record room?a fireproof
fault?and in that vault let us have
Irst. a record of every young man who
inswered the first call for enrollment
?d. The records of every young man
,vho subsequently enrolled. 3d A compete
transcript of all the records of
he exemption board. 4th. The rec>rd
of all the boys who went to camp,
ith. The record of what became of
he boys after they left, whether they
net all the physical requirements, and
vhat service they performed, in camp
ind abroad, whether they participated
n actual battle, were wounded or came
hrough unscathed. loet all these things
;o into this fireproof vault, and along
vith them the bits of prec'ous history
hat will become the pride and the
rlory of future generations.
"Also in this same vault we can have
i place for all obtainable records of
what our fathers did in the war of the
Re volution, the war of 1812. the Mexican
war. the Civil war. and the Spansh-American
war. There can be no
nore fitting place for such r< cords and
he county can confer no greater hon>r
on itself than by providing such a
slace.
"In my Judgment. America has done
what she has done in this great war
localise of the educational advantages
her people have previously enloyed.
ind an administration budding for edic.utional
development will have its inluence
in helping York county to
measure up to everv additional roiponslbllitv
against the day when there
s heard the next supreme call, whether
it be another call to arms or nnoth r
cnll to higher duty."

Rock Hill Herald: In discussing the
battles in which the York county men
engaged in France, Col. T- B. Spratt

of the company, was wounded, Lieut.
Dozier was the second in command and
took charge of the company. He continued
in action after being wounded,
and it is report^ that he accounted for
eleven Germ :uiV*tBfore being carried
off the field. Dozier's friends in
Rock Hill, his home town, are much
gratified to learn of his bravery and
faithful discharge of his duty.
Influenza at Winthrop.
Although it has been published that
>V Illinium CUIlCfiC new nvvp.uB iiocu
free of influenza by means of a quarantine
against the outside world, from
information obtained from various
students, it appears that the published
report was not correct. The quarantine
did not serve to prevent a large
number of casfes. Information reached
The Enquirer,several weeks ago that
the infirmary was full of girls with influenza?bad
colds it was called?and'
another story was that one of the dormitories
was being used as a hospital.
The Enquirer got it direct a few days
ago that there were as many as 125
lases under treatment at one time; but
the student from whom the information
came was unable to give official
figures.
Progress of War Work campaign.
?Officials of the United States War
Work Campaign announced Wcdnes1ay

the drive for $170,500,000. which closes

ir $11,93J.940 1 ss than the sum sought.
They added, however, that this report
was incomplete and that final
Igures would not be available for at
east two days.
Leaders of the patriotic drive for
he s"\en welfare organizations servng
America's fighting forces remained
hopeful of attaining their goal, asertlng
that state and local committees

utsy tabulating last minute contribuions
to report their totals to national

regime in Pkntine has been overturn- a
ed by troops front Astrakahn. favora- _
hie to the all-Kussiun government.
The war department has promulgated J
an order specifying that Y. M. C. A.
secretaries may wear their uniforms
only in or near their camps and on
troop trains. When away from camp ^
on furlough or otherwise they must k
wear citizens' clothing Ar be subject to

Returning American Prisoners. ?
American prisoners released by the Germans,
says a dispatch from American
headquarters in France, are niak- x
ing their way singly and in pairs across 1
the line at various points. The (Jer- ^
man authorities apparently are unable
to carry out the withdrawal plans as _
agreed upon owing to the disturbed
and disorganized condition of transportatlon
within that country. j
To meet the emergency the American
army has established stations at o
various points along the American sec- 9
tor of occupation where prisoners can be
received and cared for as they arrive.
Kventually they will be concentrated
at four main camixs at Chau- J
deney, Revigny, Chellcs and Saleux.
The returned men give varying ac- ^
counts of their treatment by the Ger- '
mans. Some say they were treated r
very harshly and brutally, while others
say their captors were stem but not
unduly harsh. Seemingly the treatment
depended largely upon the ad- ^
ministration of the prison In which the
Americans were confined. Th" physi- t
cal condition of the men also varies.
The American Red Gross Is estab- '
lishlng relief stations at the four con- centration
camps.
Surrender of U-Hottts.?Twenty Gcr- ^
man submarines were surrendered (o t

ernedy for breaking up a cold overlight
or cutting short an attack of sore
hroat, deep-seated cough, influenzu or
a grippe. Now that science has puriied
calomel of all its nausea and danerous
qualities, the new kind of calonel
called "Calotabs" Is even more
topular than the old style.
