'"hirhston. and the t'harlotte Observ- { r wants tin- division to be landed at Wilmington. All we have to say about this is that we hope the war departvent will stick to its orignnal intention not because of any partisanship be- . twu n t'harh-ston and Wilmington: but c ' simple because t'harh-ston has the betf U tcr port facilities and we do not care to see the Thirtieth kept in Kurope or t - held up at sea because of such a sense- ^ ' less uunrrel. ii _ t n t I The Washington Herald prints a 1 story to tltc effect that Mr. McAdoo's t y resignation was because of a disagree- " men! between himself and Mr. Wilson 1 t \.r tlic*y |ir< sid< ntlal nomination. and the government ownership of railroads. According to the Herald, which a I puts no iiualitications In its story, Mr. 11 Wilson wants to run for president 1 again and Mr. McAdoo thinks the ,5 Democratic nomination should belong c to him. Also Mr. Wilson wants to r " commit the Democratic party to gov- 1 v eminent ownership of railroads and ' Mr. McAdoo Is convinced that this 1 l would he a bad thing for the country. l The two men quarreled, declares the s ' Herald, and as there was nothing else k for him to do. Mr. McAdoo stepped ' ? down and out. , m , ti Hon. Kohert A. t'oopcr, the govern- ' [ or-elect. who is to assume the cxccu- r ,, live management of the state during ' r next month, has announced the selee- a tion of James ('. Dcrieux as his private r secretary. Mr. Dcrieux was formerly s managing editor of the (Jreenvilh 8 ' News, and worked tor several months a on the N'ew York K\enlng Post, until 8 shortly after the hiaaking out of the 1 war, when he gave up his position on c 1 that paper to engage In Y. M- C. A. " ,, work In Prince. He Is a young man 1 i of pl< using address, most excellent c character and flue ability. That he will ' hold down the highly responsible po- r sifion he Is to assume with credit and c , honor to the new governor as well as " e i himself and to the welfare of the state. " 1 all - ho know him feel certain. , , , li The Orman army has not been dcf mot ilizcd. D- mobilization was not re- I ' MUiied by th' armistice terms. Tbe v ( arn y has ben r? tiring from occupleil s Alli.,1 territory sine*- November 11. ' and most of it is back in Germany- The r ^ rest of it Is still moving in that dlroc- ^ tion. with fifteen days more to get * homo in. There has been more or less ' disorder in the army; but that is the exception rather than the rule. There n 1 are still more than 2.500,000 Hermans u 1 under arms, and under military disci- o 't pline. That is a most formidable force a t and it could do lots of damage yet: n ! but It Is not to be feared as formerly, * ? for already It has given up its strate- n j gic positions, many of its guns and v munitions, and it is in no shape to t tight. Besides, the German fleet is no s : more, and the submarines are given K ' up. But nevertheless, the Allies can- c | not take any chances, or too great t ) chances. Tlnv must continue the ^ > maintenance of a large force until the f German army Is demobilized, and until 7 , order has been restored. Those things '' i will follow pretty soon after an agree^ ment upon the peace trrms. li . The recent assault on cotton, the P 1 one that Senator Ed Smith said was J * inaugurated by the Ritle of 600.000 s , bales of shorts from Liverpool, wasfol- ^ . lowed up by a story in the New York j, i Journal to the effect that the decline ' was being engineered by German in- c , terests which sought to make cotton t cheap in the Interest of German manu1 facturers- The Germans are bad. there ^ is no doubt of that. They are fully as > bad as they are painted. But also there are shrewd trailers who do not ^ 1 hesitate to make capital for themselv- tl j es out of Germany badness. It is a I great scheme to fleece the southern ' cotton producer, and make him think ^ ; that It was the wicked Germans who ? ; did it. But most cotton producers a now very well that the Germans are ot getting any cotton now and they re not going to get any until England i icady to let them have It. This ap- j lies to raw as well as manufactured ^tton. This is all right of course. , ermany has wrought wreck and ruin nd should he made to pay. But then j tie account should he collected off of lermany and not off the cotton probers of the south. The I>rl<v ?f Cotton. If there is any other commodity of < uman use- that is more neariy a mcoa-1 re of money values throughout the ivilized world than cotton, it is steel; J ut as to which of the two ranks high- * r in this regard is yet unsettled by the >*isest of mankind. i Hither steel or cotton is as much a undamontal of world finance as is old. and nobody understands that bet- l er than the financial giants who deight to occupy themselves in shaping ^ he trend of progress through the deression ami exi<aiaiun oi Values. ^ Cotton is a basis of world finance nd no political potentate or govern* ri* nt of the world exercises a greater ntluence over the daily lives ami afairs of in* n than do those who enjoy < he high up supreme control of the iroduction. manufacture and distrlbu- j ion of cotton. Just at this time we are hearing a nt of talk about whist the leading ' tatesmen of the world are going to do nth the (fi rman navies and merchant aarine. how they are going to estab- , Ish the freedom of the seas, and how . hey are going to fix regulations that rill ensure the long time economic ubjection of the Central pow;re and ther powers that have been hostile or eutral. to the advantage of the powrs that have prevailed in this war. All this is necessary, reasonable and nst. because since me tiremj icre looking only to the promotion of heir unjust advantage through force, h?- obvious thing is to take such steps s promise to longest restrain them ' rom getting in position to try it again. As we have already said, the two ommoditics which will most strongly : gun in this economic reorganization ' i ill be cotton and steel. Steel is In strong hands that know rhat to do with it. having to reckon 1 mly with the labor by which it is prouced. Comparatively speaking the rice of steel ranges high, much highr than it did a few years ago, and hat is not so much because of war i onditions as because the int-lligent fl'orts of labor have com|>elled a mori luitahle return for Its part in the pro. i ess of production. ., i Iteeauso the producers of steel ire- i nand and secure for thomschos a fair ; hare of the proceeds of their lulolr | he greatest industrial prosperity t/at | imerica knows is to tic found in tifoic i eetions devoted to tin- produ>-tx>n\of | teel. There is not a staple commodity in i he world that is produced on a small- < r margin of profit to the producer | han cotton, and there is no country in i he world that can show us little pros- i icrity for its long years of earnest and 1 icirsistent iaiior as this cotton countrySteel workers lifted themselves up i hrough intelligent organization and if otton producers would lift themselves j ip it must be by the same means. i Under conditions as they exist at this irne there is hardly any reasonable i imit to the commercial value of raw otton. The whole world is hungry for his commodity now, and while of ourse It will not pay a cent more than s necessary, it is hound to pay what iver is asked. American cotton manufacturers have ' icen proceeding on this knowledge, j nd they are getting for their product previously unheard of prices. Manipulators of world finance have pud no concern for the producer of the ( otton. Their policy is to buy the raw i natcrial as cheaply as possible from he producer and to sell the manufactircd product as dearly as possible to ] he consumer. That recent order from Liverpool to ell 600.100 bales of futures on the Xew fork market of course was intended to peat down prices, and the suggested ;ame is like this: "Now with a world lungry market, we will Join with the American spinners in buying up all the aw material as quickly as possible beore other manufacturers in neutral nd enemy countries can get ready to un. and with a monopoly of the entire upply of goods and cotton to make oods of. we will raise prices and make . killing before our competitors can ;et Into the game." But the cotton growers of the south an protect themselves if they will. It i up to them to organize to hold, and o that end to use every means at their ommand. financial and political, to protect themselves. They must reaember that financial means can be ontrolled by political means: that poItical means are being used to bring Inancial means against them, and that f they would control financial means t must he done by political means. p Cotton is a basis of world finance, i -et those who wish to manipulate I rorld finance by means of cotton do < o; but let them understand that be- I urr iniy ut'Kiu mere niusi ut? 11 iuir, easonatde and just profit to tho proluoer of tho cotton. . m I MERE-MENTION The newspaper plant of the Richuoiiil News-Leader was destroyed by ' in- last Saturday evening with a loss , f about Si'50,000 One hundred < nd tifty-six American officers und 1 on-commissioned officers arrived in ' witzcrland last Saturday from a Ger- , nan prison camp.

There has been very little idvanrc in the price of coffee In America since the beginning of the war In fact until u few months ago all the standard brands continued the same as for several years previous. But that there should be an advance now is tuitc natural. Uoffee has been a very scarce article throughout Europe, even In England and France, to say nothing uf Ge rmany, because of the scarcity of tonnage. But now since the tonnage is becoming available, coffee Is going forward to the people who have so long been on short rations arid the effect is being felt in the markets of America as probably nowhere else, for the reason that although no coffee is raised in this country, the coffee trade ts pretty nearly controlled from New Yofk city.

THE CIRCUIT COURT. The court of common pleas reconvened yesterday morning to enter upon the work of the second week of th< term. The case of Sims vs. York county had been set as the tlrst business of the day; but was postponed on account of the absence of Mr. J- K. Hart, of counsel for the defense, who had been called to Norfolk. Va., by a telegram announcing the critical illness of his brother. The arrangement of the calendar having anticipated that this case would take up all of Monday, no other cases were ready and there was nothing to do but adjourn until this morning. The cases set for today ure those of J. C. Hardin vs. the Royal Security company, and J. T. Sparks vs. the Seaboard Air Line Railroad company. The case of Sims vs. York county will be called again next Friday. FRANK MOORE CAPTURED. Frank Motre one of the men wanted for the murder of T. R. Pennlngcr it Sharon on Monday, September 30. last, is under arrest at Raleigh, N. C., ind Sheriff Qulnn is to go after him today. ine lniormauon 01 uic arrest came to Sheriff Quinn last night .'n a telephone message from the Chief of Colice of Kaleigh. The chief said that the prisoner at first denied he was the man who was wanted: but afterward ulmltted his identity. "But I am not the man who did the shooting." protested the prisoner. "It was Mills Moore, who did that. 1 hit the man. and I held mj pistol on Mayjv Whitesides while Mills Moore did the shooting and we backed off: but I lid not shoot." There is a reward of $700 for the arrest and conviction of the two men: $500 by the state, and $700 by citizens of Sharon. It is presumed that half of the reward will go for the capture of Crank Moore, provided, of course, he Is convicted. So far as could be learned last night Crank Moore had not told anything as to the whereabouts of Mills: but it is believed that the arrest of Frank will make the arrest of Mills tbnt much less difficult.

ALMOST A LYNCHING. There would probably have been a lynching In Kort Mill last Saturday night, except for the prompt arri\al ot the sheriff, who managed to get the negro brute involved out of town before the gathering crowd had any intimation of possible interference with their plans. The name of the negro 1b Sam Johnson. During Saturday afternoon he attacked a young white girl, the daughter of a highly respectable family of the (Jolil llill neighborhood, 011 the public road, some two or three miles from Kort Mill. The young girl was alone; but the negro was frightened away by her screams, which brought several men to the rescue. One of the men knocked the negro down with the butt of a gun, und pretty soon thereafter the fellow was taken to Kort Mill and locked in the guardhouseThe first intimation that Sheriff Quinn hud of the affair came through a telephone-message from Fort Mill officials to the effect that a crowd was gathering, and unless the sheriff acted quickly It would be too late to prevent a lynching. Jumping into his car, the sheriff proceeded to Rock Hill, expecting to pick up Magistrate Glenn of Ubcnezer, whom he had been Informed had gone to that place. Magistrate Glenn, however, was not there; but Chief Youngblood, Messrs. Albert Fennell and S. H White of Rock Hill, volunteered to go along, Chief Youngblood in the sheriff's car and the other two in a car of their own. It was <lark when the sheriff arrived in Fort Mill. He saw people gathered about in knots : ml showing more or less excitement. He did not stop, or make his presence known until he got in touch with the local officers, and when they turned the prisoner over to him he hurried out of town. On his return trip the sheriff saw several automobiles coming into town from the country: but as he did no* are to be recognized himself about that time, ho did not recognize any body. He was miles away from town probably before it began to be gener nllv known that he had been there. On the way to Jail Johnson did som> talking. He confessed to having mad' the criminal attempt, said he did not know what he did It for and was sorry. etc. He also told of having been knocked down. He Is about IS years of age, nnd weighs about 165 pounds tie is evidently of a low order of intelligence. but entirely responsible so far s appreciating the nature of his crimi Is concerned. WITHIN THE TOWN -r-There was a little more liquor In evidence last Saturday than usual. Some of It was blockade moonshlnr and some of it was Pawpaw. There were several arrests by the police. ? There is considerable satisfaction over the fact that Rev. .1. E. Mahaffey has been returned to this charge for another year. The Methodist congregation desired his return and the peoptvjj?.^ne rally desired the same th'ng. Pereonally Mr. Mahaffey stood In the position of perfect willingness to ge wherever he should be sent: hut If Is very well understood that if allowed a free choice he would have returned to Yorkville. ?

Parrott, met with quite painful injuries yesterday as the result of being wound around a revolving overhead shaft in the press room of the Yorkville Cotton Oil mill, where h? was working as an employe. The young inan is a son of Mr. J. C. Parrott of Yorkville. At the time of the accident he was engaged in oiling the bearings of a line shaft. The first intimation of something wrong was when Supt. Edmunds. hearing a thumping n- ise, saw the young man's bodv turi.ing round and round his feet striking the boxing of a conveyor spout. The machinery was stopped as soon as possible, and when released from his perilous position young Parrott was found to have suffered some severe bruises on his feet and legs: but there appeared to be no positive indication of Internal Injuries. Nobody appeared to be able to tell exactly how the accident occurred but from the circumstances it Is assumed that the young man's coat being caught on the shafting, and he feeling himself being wound up. caught thr shaft with his hands and hugged it ti??ht until released. Information last night was that he was resting as comfortably as could be expected. CONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS.

Leaser of Fort Mill as having been killed in battle and Private (iarlantl Styrcs of Clover as having died of a wound. Registration. Messrs. J. A- C. Love and J. B. Bar ron of the county board of registration, were on duty at their oflicc in the courthouse yesterday. They issued about half a dozen certificates. The total number of certificates Issued up to date Is 2,726. York's Bread and Meat, K. B. Hare of Saluda, field agent for South Carolina, has made a calculation of the bread and meat supply required for the state, on a basis of a population of 1,646,986. He puts the wheat at 4,876,000 bushels, and the number of hogs that will net 146 pounds each, at 818,000. York county, with an estimated population of 62.122, he says, requires 166,000 bushels of wheat and 25.000 146-pound hogs. If the hogs net an average of 220 pounds, then there should be 17,300 of them. The total number of hogs returned to the auditor of York county, as having been on hand on January 1. 1918, was 5,394; but this is not to be taken as anything like the total number in the county on that date: for the reason that only a small per cent of the hogs are ever returned for taxation. Tirzah Presbyterian Church. The new Presbyterian church at Tirzah, recently completed at a cost of about J2.3U0 and paid for mostly by the local congregation, was dedicated Sunday with exercises appropriate to the occasion. The attendance, though very good, considering the circumstances. was not as large as it would have been had the weather, which was miserable, been more favorable. Rev. Dr. E. E. Gillespie of Yorkville, presided. Dr- Alexander Martin of Rock Hill, preached the sermon. Mr. John F. Gordon, chairman of the building committee, read a statement giving a detailed account of financial operations and Mr. W. S. Gordon read a history of the new congregation from the inception of the Idea of erecting a church building at Tirzah to the completion of the undertaking. Dr. S. C. Byrd of Chicora college, offered the dedicatory prayer. The sinking was directed by I'rof. \V. M. Stowe. The Local Board*. J. S. Price, chairman of Local lioard No. 2, said yesterday that his board is ready to write "Finis" to its work at a moment's notice, and close up shop. That the clerks of local boards over the state are to receive notice before being relieved of their duties in connection with the selective service, was the information contained in a bulletin sent out by Major Carwile last Saturday. The bulletin, in part was as follows: 'Detailed information will be shortly issued regarding the discharge of clerks. It Is anticipated that temporary clerks will be discharged as soon as their services are no longer needed; permanent clerks will be discharged on notice not to exceed 30 days; chief clerks will be continued for some time yet to come, but they will be notified in ample time to safeguard their Interests." This information was contained in a telegram from the provost marshal general. Creditable Colored Community. Mr. A. M. McGIll of Ramah, who was In Yorkville last Friday on business, gave The Yorkville Enquirer some pleasing information about the progress of the colored people of the /oar community in this section. They have recently completed a handsome church, with a seating capacity of about 300 at a cost of about $3,000, and have it practically paid for. The congregation is Mot hod is t. and it Includes iiuite a number of well-to-do negro farmers, some landowners and others renters and cropj?ors owning their stock. Among the leaders of the community are Jason McGlll lohn Thompson and Joe Gill, all goo-1 managers and hard workers, along with several others of the same industrious character. Mr. McGlll says that the ommunlty have all alone been cooperating wholeheartedly In the proseeutlon of the war. giving up theli hoys without murmur of complaint, anil no. eting in generous manner ever} call that has been made upon rh^m foi financial help, whether in the shape 01 subscription to T.lberty bonds or gifts N> the lt<-d Cross or the different wai work funds.

It wai Chile that gave out the informatior that she had apologized to Peru be cause of the outrage committed bj Chilians on a Peruvian consul wher they bound and gagged him and sen him to sea on a ship so he could no communicate with his home people Peru says there has been no apologj for this and other outrages on Peruvians and she has not sent back th< consuls she recalled from Chile. Chilr has taken no stops whatever to call ar election by which the provinces of Tacna and Africa, taken from Peru of Ta1883, may determine whether or nol the" will go back to Peru, and there seems to be no indication on the pari nf Chile that nhn nrnnnses to take RUrh action.
