* Scraps and Jaits. Germany, ip accordance with the terms of tfte^Drmistice, is now paying the expenses of the. American army of occupation. Up to date the Americans have received from the Germans about 46,000,OOP marks. John Lee Davis federal director of the United States bureau for South Carolina, has emphatically prohibited contractors and builders of other states soliciting labor In this state. Firms in North Carolina, Florida and Virginia wane Souxn 11m ittwt) | but the director will not allow them to solicit. He said that the labor of South Carolina already Is short, and to permit other states filling their wants from South Carolina would greatly embarrass the situation. ? The night after New Year's eve New York was bone dry and It wasn't because the entire visible supply of intoxicants had been consumed last night either. The saloon keepers closed their doors voluntarily. The unprecedented action of the Retail Liquor Dealers' association was taken because the members believed it was the only way they could keep liquor from men in uniform who flocked to the city by tho tens cf thousands. It was estimated that more than 100,000 soldiers and sailors spent New Year's Pin New cYoik. ? ? The Zionist Organization of America announces receipt of the report that Great Britain is turning, over to Jewish soldiers the policing of the country, especially the large cities like Jerusalem and Jaffa, and ia e> en lecalltng thousands of Jewish soldiers from France, Italy and Belgium for this duty and also to police Syria, Arabia and other parts of Asia Minor. It has been estimated that this Jewish military police force will number about 100,000 men, and that the British War Office is making a point to selecting for this service men who en? listed voluntarily. In addition to volunteers, the British War Office is said to have at 'Its disposal about 20,000 Jewish legions who have come from Great Britain, the United States and Argentina. Because of the misunderstanding that seems to exist among relatives and beneficiaries of men in the military and naval service as to their rights under the War Risk Insurance Asj, Carter Glass, secretary of the tieasury, has called attention to the tkot that Insurance and compensation represent , two entirely ?eperate and \ distinct benefits. "Insurance," . he hays, "is payable regardless of any dependency, and fe beneficiary designated ln*an application for government insurance, Vf within the permitted class of spouse child, grandchild, parent, brother or sister, is entitled to receive the insurance in monthly installments without proving any dependency upon the insured. ^Compensation, however, which is separate and apart from Insurance, and takes the place of the pensions provided under the old pension system, is payable chllH rinmAndent moth er or dependent father."" The retails of the British elections which were held some weeks ago, were declared on ldst Saturday. They bring complete triumph for Lloyd Geonge's coalition, and complete route for the Aaqulthlans, the pacifists and the women's candidates- In Ireland the Sinn Felners were victorious. Although millions of women were allowed to vote, only one woman, Countess Marklevlcx, will be allowed to sit in the house of commons. She, however, was elected as a Sinn Felner, and as they decline to sit at Westminster, only males will be in the house. Out of a total membership of 707, the Lloyd George coalition will have 519 seats in the house. The Sinn Feiners clems* ed up Ireland by electing 70 members and the Laborites elected 75 members. Mr. Asqutth has lost his seat for the first time in thirty yearn All the members of the Lloyd George government were elected and Lloyd George will be free to do whatever he wants to do. Little cotton remains to be gathered in Texas, and such staple as remaiM^^the m^^la of a very low *0mMC*--J3CTV minw^ecximaiea ?; cording1 to a Galveston authority that Vexae this year will havq produced "2,580,000 bales of 600 pounds each when all the staple, has found Its way to the markets. This estimate is based on an estimate of 11,234,727 acres gathered out of a total of 11,951,827 acres planted. The abandoned to about 8 per cent, Is usually large for Texas, and was due chiefly to the prevalence of drouth In western and southwestern Texas. The average per acre was 110 pounds of lint cotton. Labor conditions In Texas are rapidly Improving, and it Is reported that there la no shortage of farm workers. Cotton pickers have been available In r*ost sections to gather the cotton as it opened, and the loss dub to remaining in the fields too long was comparatively light The Improved laDor situation assures a migc tunuu acreage next spring-. Statistics show that a very large wheat crop has been planted, and it Is certain that a large corn acreage will be planted in the sprlng.but it Is believed that sufficient new git>und will be put In cultivation by the returning soldiers to mere than offset this land that is to be planted to grain. It is indicated at this time that next year's cotton acreage will be between 10 and 20 per cent larger than this year's. There were 62 lynchings in the United States during the year, according to records compiled by Monroe, N. Work, in charge of records and research of the Tuskegee Institute. The figures, made public last Monday show an increase in lynching over last year of 24. Fifty-eight of those put to. death were negroes and four were white persons. Five women were included, in the number. Sixteen, or a little more than one-fourth of those lvnched. were c ha reed with assault or attempted assault. Two of the white persons were charged with murder and two with disloyalty. The offenses charged against the negroes according to tfce records, were. Alleged complicity In murder, 14; murder, seven; threats to kill, six; assault, ten; attempted assault, six; alleged participation in fight about alleged hog stealing, three; killing officer of the law, two; immorality, one; assisting man charged with murder to escape, one; robbing house and frightening women, one; killing man in dispute about automobile repairs, one; Killing tanaioru m uispuie uver uuuj contract, one; assault with intent to murder, one; wounding another, one; robbery and resisting' arrest, one. The lynching1 by states follow: Alabama, three; Arkansas, two: California, one; Florida, two; Georgia, 18: Illinois, one; -Kentucky, one; Louisiana, nine; Mississippi, six; North Carolina, two; Oklahoma, one; South Carolina, one; Tennessee, four; Texas, nine, Virginia, one; Wyoming, one. Among the interesting projects under consideration for airplane exploitation soon will bo a great exploring expedition to the North Pole, beginning next June under the command and direction of Capt. Robert Bartlett, so long associated with Admiral *Perry. Airplanes, Captain Bartlett explained, in talking about the matter, "will greatly simplify the work of surveying and exploring the heretofore unreached regions. I have made several flights, Including one in a combat mao* 197 miloa an hnup and WHUiV QVUig Mb AVI ? >.v M. , as soon as I saw the extensive range , ~ an aviator has at a height of 1,000 feet I realized how simple it would be to exploit with skycraft For six weeks In July and August the weather in the Polar regions is warm, seldom being lower than 60 degrees above zerowarmer than it is in New York in October. During these six weeks can be done by airplane * more exploring than has been done by all the Arctic expeditions together. Exploring and surveying from the air. will be only one of the important missions of the expedition. Others will be to flying across the top of the world from Cape Columbia on the American side to Cape Cheluyskln on the Siberian side to conduct extensive soundings in the Polar Basin, make a map of its floors and collect fauna and flora from the ocean bottom and to send up sounding balloons and explore the upper regions i of the air, gathering meteorological data. More than 1.000,000 square miles of territory in the centre of the Polar Basin still remain to be explored, and it is quite.possible we will find land in that region. It is hard to Mfcf ' - A* make people believe there is a period in the Arctic when the weather is 01 warm and there is vegltation. We d picked flowers on some of our expeditions about 400 miles from the North Pole, But the warm weather is -of C short duration ships are handicapped jt by the ice as they proceed further . north and ard usually tied in the ice u on the returning trip before we can c get very far. With airplanes it will I a be different We can cover a great fl deal of space in a very short time and we can land at established bases at ? different points from which to make y soundings- and get data from the bot- a torn of the Polar Barin as well as from, c, the upper air, to ascertain the direction of air current and other meteoro- ti logical data." tl She ilatfeviUf (gnquim f Entered at the Postofflce at York aa Mall Matter of the Second Class. n t( FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1919. ? li Why not work aa hard this year aa h last year? ^ t m tl ? .

York county people have been mak- ^ ing a glorious record of duty well-performed during the last year and this year will no doubt be likewise. ^ ' m ' n The Yorkville Enquirer begins its v sixty-flfth volunfc with this issue?not b the oldest paper in the state; but easily 0 the longest under the same manage- j, ment _ . a Let's hove a war cannon. York iUl-J U ik* county ooyu art; euuucu w it, uw fathers and mothers of York county ? boys Who went to the war, are entitled ^ to It. Let's have a war cannon. f ' * ' m e Get this: Absolutely the most ee- p sential requirement for the highest as- t ricultural development Is good roads. ^ The farmer needs good roads to facllitate the bringing in of his supplies ^ as well ai to facilitate the getting of ' his products to market. Without good t roads there can be very little progress. a 1 *1 o With all that York county has done p for the waging of the war, and no oth- * er county in the Union has done more f in the sty eMurntohta# asm. msaey t or labor in proportion to wealth and b population, it looks like we ought at ii least be able to get one of the many b thousands of guns that have been cap- h tured, to be mounted in the courthouse tl yard as a token and a remembrance to 1 [our people. ti i b A noted Frenchman sometime ago d suggested in New- Tork that American o troops would be needed for quite a u while to restore the ruin wrought by tl the Germans. Somehow we were im- t pressed with the idea that this French- f man had very little idea of who and o what American troops were. He suie- c ly must have been thinking of using c German prisoners for the purpose sug- a gested. b f] Secretary Daniels says that if the c peace conference does not agree to re- P duce armaments, he is in favor of the tl Untied States going right ahead with e the building of the strongest navy in r the world. As matters stand now the a British have more than twice as many n warships as have the Americans; but of course this does not mean that the British navy is nearly twice as strong as the navy of the United States. ^ k Chairman Lever, of the committee ^ on agriculture, has prepared a bill c providing for the turning over to the j( government of the 1919 wheat crop at $2.26. The plan is to pay this fixed j price for the wheat and sell it on the ^ world's market at ruling prices, with a c prospect of losing $200,000,000. It is ^ I considered, however, that the government is bound in good faith to take ^ over the crop on the basis Indicated. ?, 1 ' tl We have refused various offers to advertise this paw-paw stuff in The ^ Yorkville Enquirer. We advertised it p until a druggist who was selling it told a the editor one da> that it was prinoipally alcohol under a camouflage anpi p that it was used more for a jag than q for a medicine. We canceled our con- ^ tract forthwith, on the ground stated, p and have rejected subsequent overtures to Induce us to take it up again. We recognize this is an advertisement of paw-paw; but at the same time we J( understand that the stufT does not need c advertising. The idea of the proprie- a tors of tfiis' stuff in using so much Q printers' ink is to impress honest, un- ? suspecting folks that their Jag juice g is an honest curative and restorative ^ agency. They know that they can de- y pend upon the people with a thirst to p take the hint. But the sale of all such p stufT should be prohibited. 1 1 n The common idea that there was an p almost complete exhaustion of the ^ wool supply of the country except for ^ army needs, was correct; but It now v develops that the government has a v gpeat deal more wool than the army tj will need and that civilian require- r ments will be fully satisfied during the a year. According to Dr. S- W. McClure, of Salt Lake City, secretary of the Na- 0 tional Woolgrowers' association, there p is on hand more than 100,000,000 pounds a of raw wool, with sufficient clothing to w meet military' requirements for anoth- p er year, and in addition to that there were 100,000,000 pounds of raw wool in the hands of manufacturers. The understanding was that the govern- a ment would take at its fixed price all & tho wool that should be loaded on the ^ cars by January 1, and after that it tl would sell surplus wool at auction in a small lots until its stooks were dispos- ? m l? ed of. 81 fL , - We like to aee accounts In the papers t Christmas dinners to the poor chllren of the cities, Christmas dinners > the Inmates of the county homos, hristmas dinners to the prisoners in ills and on chaingangs. All of these lings are suggestive of sympathy, iiarlty and a desire to help those who re down and out. But when we reect that It takes 1,096 meals to keep ne in good health and strength for a ear, and that even the recollection of Christmas dinner does not go beyond be next period of hunger, -vye conclude licit mere is neeaeu Bomeming more | ban an annual period of commlseralon and consideration. It seems to us hat the situation calls for something lore than good dinners. It invites all he ablest and best of us to devote luch more of our time, and thought o the problem of perfecting conditions hdl will not require poorhouses, Jails nd chalngangs. Everybody Is good or something and a system that will eek to give all opportunity in the teld for which they are best fitted will 0 a long way toward^improving conltions generally. f While It might be natural to suppose therwise, The Enquirer desires to teaLfy that in its'opinion there was absoiitely no sign of any spirit of violence 1 the large and thoroughly represenitive crowd of York county farmers hat assembled in the courthouse last fonday on account of the trial of the egro rapist And there was no spirit f morbid curiosity. Those men were here purely from a sense of duty, to ee the majesty of the law vindicated n the worst and most dreaded type of riminal that disturbs the peace and ecurlty of our fair and otherwise hapy civilisation. There was no wild unfloaflning thirst for blood in the crowd nd no laie, moutny uirwH& ano gum f the accused negro was established eyond a possible question of doubt, .nd the jury did the only thing It ould have done under the clrcumtances. There was no good ground or a recommendation of mercy, and he audience would not have approvd such a' recommendation, but had here been such a recommendation we 0 not believe it would have resulted 1 violence. Supposing, however, for he sake of illustration, that the Jurg a the face of the facts had brought in , verdict of not guilty, there would iave been a bloody riot; but if the acts had been such as to establish the egro's innocence as clearly as his guilt ras established, the fellow could have een turned loose in the crowd withut danger of harm. A most gratify3g object lesson was this special term nd the results thereof. . With reference to that unfortunate nd deplorable occurrence in Fort Mill ownship, the good people of the ownship, as well as the relatives anrf riends of the people directly concernd, are to be commended. It is not ermitted to print the name of the vicIm; but we are permitted to say, and re take pleasure In saying, that she nd her family are as good people as bere are in York county. We want to ay also that the father and male relaLves concerned, have all the courage nd nerve necessary for the protection f their own personal honor and the ersonal honor of those connected nth them, xnere is no sucn muig no ear of human consequences among hsee people, and their -wourse has not een dictated or influenced by fear. It i fair to say that if the negro had een left in the F\>rt Hill guardhouse a ialf hour longer than he was left here, he would have been lynched, his does not suggest any violent,inent on the part of father or relatives; ut the natural vent of the sense of inign&tion and outrage that was develpinjr in the community. There is no se in trying to deny anything like his. But after the negro passed into he hands of the sheriff there was no urther danger. This was not because f fear or timidity or any other disreditable consideration; but solely beause of a determination to submit to nd uphold the law, as was evidenced y the manner in which neighbors and A Kw fhn fomllv MnoHftllv I 1CI1UO OVVUU WJ W1? vwr - - oncerned In giving their support and resence in seeing the whole thing hrough. As matters have turned out veryhody feels better, and those diectly concerned as well as neighbors, re entitled to congratulation and comlendation. The Principles of Peace. How it might have been if President Vllson had not gone to France, there i no telling; but the outlook now is bat the peace conference is going to ome pretty near to carr"ing out his leas of what it should do. At the time that England and 'ranee first set up their appeal for the elp of the United States both of these A-1-- ovtonf uunurieo iraiucu iv wc iuueov ??h>uv hat without this help, they were oomed to ruin, and* to avert that ruin hey were honestly and sincerely willig to agree to any terms or conditions tie United States might name. Since the signing of the armistice, rbich event never would have occured except for the extending of this a.me help from the United States, here has been a lot of talk from rominent representatives of both treat Britain and France, strongly inlcative of the old feeling of self-imortance as to how matters were to be djusted, etc. For instance, Winston Churchill and there have given expression to the lea that of course Great Britain will ontinue her domination of the seas, nd Premier Clemenceau has thrown ut a suggestion which is in effect that treat Britain, France and tLe United tAfpn ars utronar enoueh to rule the alance of the world, regardless of what the balance of the world or any art of it might think, and they propose to d9 Just that. Mr. Wilson's idea, however, that the eace now to be made must mean a eace for all the world; that the Cenral powers must be made to pay cerain just and proper Indemnities, and artous wrongs must be righted everywhere; but after that the small natons and the large nations alike must eceive every consideration of equity nd justice in am tneir reiauuab. Whatever may have been the view f the different world leaden, It apears that thd people of both England nd France are In hearty agreement rlth Mr. Wilson, and as the American eople are also in agreement, the thing >r which he stands will prevail. Dr- James A. Hayne has given out statement in which he denounces the reed of the druggists of South Carona in selling alcohol under various imouflaged names as medicine, and le like, such as Jamaica ginger, lemon nd other extracts, paw-paw, etc. Dr. Cayne says that all of this is in vioition of the law and it should be ;opped. - j' LOCiUu AFFAIRSt NEW ADVERTISEMENTS Yorkville Cotton Oil Co.?Suggest* that now U a good time to bur nasal and hull*.

It Is a source of satisfaction and pleasure to note the re-establishmenl of the Jitney line between Yorkvfile and Clover- This line, under its for-, mer operation, was a great convenience to the traveling public, if not a great deal of profit to the ihanagement. The rate is nominally soroe^ what higher; but really about the same, as 75 cents is hardly mere than" 50 cents was then. Anyhow the rate Is reasonable, and It Is to be hoped that the patronage will be sufficient to warrant the maintenance of -the Una on a basis- of increasing efficiency. Hie First Associate Refornjed "Presbyterian church of GB*toni??on last Sunday celebrated the twenty-fifth ah* niversary of the pastorate of Rev. Dr.4 J. C. Galloway, who left the YorfcvUl* church to go to Gastonla on Deeemberl 26, 1898. During the morning hourt Dr. Galloway reviewed thg^ growth the churclr iii Gastonia^and the of the town during, the quarter of h century he has been in charge of the church, and Rev. A. T. Lindsay, president of Linwood college, and Rev. J. B. Hood, pastor of Pisg&h church, which was grouped with Gastonla when Dr. Galloway entered the field, made addresses. Judge Memmlnger reported to Deputy Clerk of the Court Clinton that the bantam rooster which Mr. Clinton sent the little boy, had whipped all the bantam roosters it had been up against. Bantam fighting, the judge explained, is quite popular among the small boys of Charleston. The little fellows carry the chickens around under their coats at Christmas time, and a chicken fight is a matter of pleasureable boyish excitement on short notice- Mr. Clinton's chicken was at some little disadvantage on account of having been kept in >a box for two dayB before his arrival in Charleston; but the chicken has continued to make good all the same. The death of Dr. Stewart W. Pryor of Chester, marks the end of a life that has been worth while, not only to him > * hla ftimltv Hilt tO all With whom he came In contact That Dr. Pryor was a born physician and surgeon is the common testimony- of all who knew him. That he was a great surgeon there is absolutely no doubt; but as to being born with greatness we prefer not to testify. We do not hold to any such 'view. The record shows that though denied the advantage of early technical training, or a great deal other than theoretical help from the medical schools, he was an earnest, eager and tireless worker, filled with a love for humanity, a thirst for the highest attainable medical knowledge and skill, and a desire to serve. As a physician and as a surgeon he was a remarkable success, and as a Christian gentleman he was no less so. He made considerable progress financially, too, and would have been prominent as a business man even if he had not succeeded otherwise; but his business success was only incidental. His heart was in his profession, not so much on account of his profession as on account of the good that it enabled him to do. There may be those in this section who hav* never appreciated Dr. Pryor; but if there are any such it may be said of them by way of apology, that they neither knew of him WITHIN THE TOWN Business and the business outlook are better than usual at this usually the dullest season of the year. Yesterday was quite dull in Yorkville, compared with Wednesday, largely on account of the rainy weather. Most of the local business people are putting in their time taking stock, and are very pleased to have opportunity for -the work. The fireworks nuisance has been reduced to a minimum this Christmas and that is commonly conceded to have been one good thing. There was an unusually large number of negroes in town Wednesday on account of Emancipation day. They spent the time for the most part in riding, promenading, laughing and talking, and seemed to enjoy the day. There was no effort at the carrying out of an Emancipation day programme. The announcement in another column that Messrs. Jesse C. Parrott and F. Erwin Moore have taken over the business of the Logan Lumber company, will be especially gratifying to the people of the town and country surrounding. The indlspensible nature of this business has long been established in the estimation of the people of the community, and as neither Mr. Parrott or Mr. Moore need any introduction as to reliability, efficiency, or responsibility, the fact that they are to continue the operation of this most useful plant is a subject for congratulation to all the many people who are in more or less constant need of service in their line. The boys rang out the old year Tuesday night. The duty was purely a voluntary one. They organized, assigned one or more of their number to each church bell and promptly at th? stroke of midnight began work. From the sound of the bells the task of ringing out must have been more or less difficult and tiresome; but that did not seem to worry the boys. They stuck at their job, ringing hard and ringing * I \ long. In fact they must have kept at It until, tha.014 y?ar. Quite a proud old year it was, must have been far down the road. Then .the boys changed their tune somewhat and gave the little new year a joyous welcome a welcome that was full of jubilant optimism a welcome that gave the New Year the benefit of every presumption that it would have to be as good as the old. There were no sales of alcoholic beverages last Monday under the camouflage of medicine. Paw-paw trade was at a standstill. No kind of protestation of tummy ache would have been sufficient to get a bottle of Jamalda ginger, and If a respectable housewife had asked for a bottle of lemon extract, as to whether or not she got it j would have depended upon the known habits of her husband with regard to the use of stimulants. The alcoholic beverage business was shut up tight Behind it all there was a reason. May or Johnson had given notice in advance. His notice was given on the strength of most convincing assurance that this notion that there Is no way to restrict the sale of alcohol in various available beverage forms under respectably sounding names is a mistake. There was no real fear of a mob outbreak Monday; but it was recognised that almost anything might happen in a case like that and that the ftee flow of alcohol does not In any way mitigate such a situation. PARTRIDGE SHOOTING. The .open season for partridges in York county is from December 1 to February 1, two months. The Acts of 1?1? provide: "In Lancaster, Chester, York and Abbeville counties, it shall be unlawful to shoot, chase, trap, or catch or sell any partridge or wild turkey between the first day of February and the first day of December." The open season for partridges, therefore, continues during the balance of the present month. SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR 1919.

The York county court house has never been completed In accordance wiin original piano. me ungiuai plans call for a finish in the rear very much like that in front, though considerably less elaborate. The reason the building was not finished was because that old "Law Range" structure at the rear stood in the way.* The commission originally had in mind the Idea of buying law range so as to give room to finish the rear of the building, leave a back court ajid reduce the fire risk.' But the war came on about that time, business and Industrial conditions be 'bame panicky, and the building programme was postponed. But now conditions appear .to be more propitious, and the grand jury is of opinion that action should be taken at once to improve the situation. It has condemned the standplpe at the rear of the courthouse as not only unsightly; but dangerous, and It wants the county supervisor and board of commissioners to confer with the owners of the Law Range property to see whether or not the same can kbe acquired at a reasonable figure. The matter was brought to the attention of the grand jury at its special meeting last Monday by J. S. Brice, Esq., who secured an audience for the purpose, and after hearing Mr. Brice, formal presentment, signed by R. M. Bratton, foreman, was made to the court as follows: "We the grand Jury recommend that the supervisor and commissioners confer with the owners of the property In the rear or tne courrnouse ikuuwii as Lav.* Range) with a view to purchasing same, provided terms and conditions can be agreed upon. We deem the acquisition of the property as necessary in order to facilitate the completion of the courthouse In accordance with original plans. "We also recommend that the proper authorities of the town of Tork be required to move as early as practicable the standplpe located In the rear of the courthouse as, in our opinion. It endangers the surrounding property and the lives of the citizens." HERE AND THERE While traveling on the train a few dtfys ago Here and There saw lots of soldiers?some going home on furloughs, some with their final discharges, and some still in service. CFne of the questions asked each of the boys related to their feelings about getting out of the service and what they expected to do. There was more or less talk of a desire for a long spell of loafing and things like that, and some talked as if they would like to go to Europe and see what1 had been going on over there; but as a general thing the desire of the boys was to get back at whatever work they had been doing when they had been drafted into the service, and to work at it harder than they had ever worked beforeNotwithstanding the letting down ox the bars as to the feed products from the flour mills, the probability is that there will be no change in the regulations as to cotton seed prices The oil mills of this section, by the way, have been handling the cotton seed situation remarkably well, compared with oil mills in other sections There Is complaint all over the state that oil mills have quit buying car seed, or rather giving wagon seed a most decided preference because of the fact that wagon seed are $4 a ton cheaper than car seed, and as the result a great many ginneries have had to close, thus subjecting the farmers to muchincon venience if not actual loss.
