There are 15,000 more British prisoners
In Germany than the British
records show, so that number of men
previously given up as dead or missing:
will return to their homos, says a
recent telegram. The British had contemplated
getting the last 20,000 prisoners
out of Germany within a fortnight,
but the German records show
that there remain In German hands
35,000 men, of whom 15.000, through
the failure of the Germans to report
their capture and the men's failure to
communicate with friends, had been
listed as dead.

army, capturing 31,000 prisoners and
large quantities of war material, according
to a telegram from the Omsk
authorities to the Russian minister at
Stockholm. The message as printed in
the Swedish press was received at the
state department. The telegram said
the third bolshevik army of ten regiments
had been shattered and that

inculded armored trains as well as
large quantities of war materials and

that the Russian forces referred to
were those which recently captured
a city in European Russia, near the
Siberian line. More than 10,000 prisoners
were taken in that engagement.
? Supervision of the affairs of Mesopotamia
after the conclusion of peace
was assigned to Great Britain by a
treaty concluded between France and
England concering the future of AsiaMinor
early in the war. Existence of
this treaty only recently has become
knewn pul licly. Under the terms France
was to assume direction of the destinies
of Syria, Lebanon and Armenia in
Asia-Minor (that part of Armenia to the
' -* *u" Palestine was
wfbl ul ulc
to be under international protection,
while Mesopotamia and portions of the
Arabian peninsula were to be under
the supervis'on of Great Britian. It
was settled that the largest possible
autonomy would be assured to the
races and peoples in these countries
and an economical administration and
equality of rights also were agreed to.
What disposition the peace conference
will make of this and other secret
treaties is a much discussed question
in Paris.

of January 7 from Paris remain
before the expiration of the time alloted
for Germany of the meeting of
the armistice terms of Marshal Foch,
and many of the details still remain
not entirely complied with. This is
particularly true as concerns article 4
of the armistice, regarding the surrender
of war materials, especially guns
and airplanes. About 5,000 motor
trucks have been delivered up, but the
number of railroad engines turned
over equals only half the number stipulated
In the armistice 5,000. A
great number of the 150.000 railroad

are still undelivered. In nditlon, nav^

In German seaports, although under
the terms of the armistice they should
have been surrendered. Added to the
non-fulflllment of the surrender of
war paraphernalia Is the failure of
Germany to abide by her agreement
to repartrlate Immediately a great
number of entente soldiers held a3 prisoners,
and in high quarters here the
question has arisen If In spite of Marshal
Foeh's accustomed lndugence, the
Inter allied command will not be more
severe In Its dealings with Germany
when the expected request by Germay
for a further delay in meeting the
Allied terms comes up for discussion.
? Though under sentence of death
for deserting in the face of the enemy
to escape combatant service, Richard
B. Stlerhein, a private of the Three
Hundred and Fifteenth Infantry. Seventy-ninth
Division, and a conscientious
objector, deliberately risked his
life to rescue wounded soldiers under
fire in the fighting In the Verdun region
shortly before the armistice was
signed. A review of Private Stlerheln's
record with a report of General
Pershing disapproving the death sentence
and directing that he be returned
to duty for combatant service, was
made public last Wednesday by the
war department. Stlerhein, according
to his testimony at courtmartlal.
sought to be classed a conscientious

he deserted with the Intention of

the 371st and 372nd Infantry Regiments,
have been decorated by the
French authorities. Four of them received
the Medallle Millltaire and the
others the War Cross. The two regiments
were brigaded with the French,
under the command of Gen. Goybet of
the 157th Division. The negroes to receive
tho much coveted Medallle Mllitaire
were Sergt. Depew Preyor, Corpl.
Clifton Morrison, Privates Clarence
Van Allen and Kenneth Lewis. All
were from Massachusetts and belonged
to the same company. Lewis is dead
having been killed at his post by hand
grenades. He took from the Germans
a machine gun while it was in action
on Busy Farm, in the Champagne district.
George Byrd, one of the winners
of the War Cross, was in command of
a mortar near Verdun. He gave valauble
assistance to a raiding party by
cutting wires so the party could ad#
vance into enemy territory. The mortar
he was firing had not been securely
placed, and it began to jump about.
In order to assure a steady aim he sat
on it while it was piping hot, and continued
to shoot by feeding the gun
from behind. He temporarily lost his
hearing, and has not yet fully recovered
from the deafening efTect of the
gun. Corpl. Eyre, another winner of

made up of former members of National

for deeds of valor was won by
the men from Massachuetts.
The great 14 inch American naval
guns which were placed on special
railway mounts and used on the western
front during the closing days of
the war proved superior to any weapons
of the Allied armies, the house
naval committee was told on Monday
by Rear Admiral C. P. Plunket, who
had charge of the operation of the
big rifles. Five of the guns were in
use when the armistice was signed.
Admiral Plunket said. Two were sent
up to silence the long-range gun
which fired into Paris from the Complegne
forest, and others were mounted
north of Verdun and proved highly
effective in destroying the enemy's
communications. "In this connection
I want to say that these guns proved
most successful," Admiral Plunket
said. "While they were being used the
enemy found It impossible to transport
supplies or move troope. Just as soon
as we would begin firing the enemyhad
to get into holes. All their traffic
schedules were broken." Admiral
Plunket said the guns fired a total of
782 shells weighing 1,400 pounds each.
The French were astounded at the accurancy
of^the fire, he said. One of
the greatesf difficulties encountered in
using the guns was that of transporting
them over the railroads, Admiral

There Is strong feelrng in England
against sending more troops to Russia.
The British soldiers think they have
already done about all that should be
expected of them, and they are not inclined
to take on any more trouble until
it becomes absolutely necessary.
Including Maine, Ter nessee and Idaho,
which voted favorably on the subject
Wednesday, twenty-two states
have ratified the prohibition amendment

Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri are

action on the part of thirty-six states
will be all that will be necessary.
At last an aviator h.?s gone to an altitude

All the testimony of all the witnesses
has been that absolutely the greatest
thing that has manifested itself in the
war has been the spirit of self-repression
and desire to be helpful to others.
This is probably the greatest thing
that could como out of anything,
and If there is ever an end to war and
strife this same spirit will be the thing
that will contribute to that end.
Representatives of 300 distilleries in
convention in Chicago, have pledged
one billion dollars in fighting prohibition
to the last ditch through the United
States supreme court. From the
temper of the people of the United
States, however, it would take more
money to save liquor than was necessary
to defeat Germany. The world
now understands pretty well that as
between Germany and liquor, liquor
was the greater menace to civilization
than Germany.

dead, It i8 perfectly admissible to say
that he was a remarkable man, one of
the greatest his generation has seen.
He was intensely American, a man of
keen Intelligence, large patriotism,
self-confident and fearless. It was his
ambition to serve a third term as president
that smashed the Republican
Darty and resulted In the election of
Wilson, no doubt, and had he lived in
fairly good health he would have no
doubt figured quite extensively in the
next campaign.
It looks now that the time will soon
be here when the man who is obliged
to have alcoholic liquor for beverage
purposes will have to go to England,
France, Germany or Mexico for It. In
view of conditions as they once prevailed
in this country, conditions still
fresh in the recollections of even the
young men and young women of the
present generation, there is reason to
hope that Mexico and the different European
governmentj will also some of
these days advance to a stage of civilization
that will enable them to abolish
liquor.
News dispatches say that Gen. Pershing
has designated the Thirtieth Division
for early return to the United
States; but up to this time there has
ofq foinon f no tn thp

probable time of that return. However,
the return of the Thirtieth Is one
of the great events of the future to
which the people of this section are
looking forward with enthusiastic Interest.
There is absolutely no question
of the fact that the Thirtieth Division
has made a record that is unexcelled
by any other division in this the
greatest of all wars and it ha3 rot only
covered iself with glory, but it has
filled its fellow-countrymen with a
pride that is not only pardonable but
commendable.
We do not hesitate to say that in our
opinion there is plenty of room for the
development of a creamery at some
central point in this county. We are
not recommending a repetition of the
joint stock attempt of a few years ago;
because we do not believe that plan
will work. The business is one that is
more suited to private enterprise than
to corporate enterprise. It should ce
established, owned and conducted by
a practical professional butter maker,
iinHpr a svstem that will allow fair
prices for butter fat, and realize fair
prices for butter. There was considerable
waste and mismanagement in
connection with the conduct of the
affairs of the late Yorkville Creamery
association that wouid be largely
avoided under competent private ownership
The funeral of Theodore Roosevelt
took place at Oyster Bay last Wednesday,
and in accordance with the desires
of the widow, with the least possible
ostentation. Prominent representatives
of the state and city of New
York, of the national government and
of foreign governments were present;
but there were no military or naval
honors. The funeral was that of a
private citizen; but simply because the
family so wished for otherwise it
would probably have been one of the
most notable funerals the country has
ever seen. President Wilson cabled his
sympathy to the widow, and issued a
proclamation ordering the flags of the
White House and the nation at half
mast for thirty-six hours. In the proclamation
he also paid high tribute to
the character and achievements of the
ex-president.
That rood roads are coming in South
Carolina, we feel pretty sure; but we
hardly think that the basis will be the
bond issue secured by an automobile
tax or that the system will be built
up on the idea of making Columbia
the hub. In the first place, it does not
seem just to us to expect the automobile
owners to bear the entire brunt of
the road building, and in the second
place, we are doubtful of the financial
soundness of a bond issue based upon
automobile ownership. We are inclin
cd, however, to think that both of
these propositions are thrown out more
in the nature of feelers than otherwise,
and that when a sure-enough road
campaign is finally Inaugurated, it will
be founded on state or county bonds
and a system of road extension that
will seek more general and local benefit
than could be realized from merely
connecting the different county seats
with the state capital.
Six officers and 126 men of the
American forces in northern Russia,
had lost their lives up to January 4,
according to an official cablegram received
in Washington on that day.
There is very considerable interest in
America as to what course the United
States may take with regard to Russian
afTairs. There is a very strong
feeling in congress, especially in the
senate, against our presence in Russia
at all. Some senators have gone so
far as to say that every American killed
in Russia has been murdered by his
own government. That, however, is
putting the matter too strong from any
point of view. Americans* were sent to
Russia to protect American property
when conditions were such that there
seemed to be very little doubt of
American rights in the matter. But as
things stand now, it seems to us that
it will be Just as well for the United
States to get out of Russia, and leave
the situation there to the Russians, the
Europeans and the Asiatics.
While there is probably no reasonable
doubt of the fact that the French
have developed agriculture to a higher
point than It has been developed in
America, especially from the standpoint
of intimdte scientific knowledge
of plant life, nevertheless there is
something strikingly interesting in the
pertinent comparison that is made by
Whiteford Fincher in his letter published
elsewhere in today's issue.
Somehow we have a feeling that the
French farmer would probably bat the
American farmer all to pieces when it
comes to making large yields olT of
small acreage; but at the same time
we are unwilling to concede that this
would be because of the Frenchman's
superior ability. It is rather because
the Frenchman has been compelled by
necessity to confine his energies and
efforts to small plots, while the American
has always had plenty of elbow
room in more land than he could cultivate.
Very likely the French could
teach the Americans some things that
are worth while; but Fincher's statement
as to how the American leaves

In France, was a 10-year-old French
boy known as Marcel. Marcel came
along as a stowaway, and It was not
known that he was on the ship until
several days out, when he is said to
have emerged from a bassdrum, very
hungry. That he had been concealed
in a bass drum is very probable; but
the story that he was hungry is doubtful;
because although officially he concealed

his own volition and efforts, unofficially,
no doubt, some members of
Battery A had lent their assistance,
and of course they took care of him in
the way of food and the like. But the
story of how Marcel got tied up with
Battery A is not so unlikely. It appears
that when the Americans were
brigaded with the French, Marcel, who
had been with the French, seemed to
like the Americans, and come with
them. His story was that his father
had been deported to Germany, so
there was nothing for him to do but
connect up with a company of Poilus.
Ho had been with the Poilus in all of
their subsequent fighting. But he liked

than four different fierce charges; but
he was not hurt- The French Poilus

the members of Battery A were

Nobody has tried to deprive the
Thirtieth Division of Americans for the
full credit of breaking the Hindenburg
line; but the frank, full and free admission
that has been made by Gen.
Haig is none the less gratifying.
Americans did it American soldiers
the rank and file did it.
It was not an officers' fight so much
as it was a soldiers' fight. No reflection
on the officers. They are as good
as the best in the world, and as good
as the American soldiers. Thoy are
perhaps better than other officers
better even than the trained professional
of other countries; but no better
than their soldiers. But we are giving
credit to the soldiers the ranks rather
than the officers because we honestly
and truly believe that is right.
Scientific military men have more
than once criticised American soldiers
for their too great impetuosity, saying
mat 11 me privates were more renani
on their officers they would not be
killed up so badly and the like, which
in a way, is probably trueFrom
what we understand about
that Hindonburg line and other such
defenses, there are few officers in the
American or in any other army, who
would have taken the responsibility of
trying to break through by means of
frontal attacks. They would consider
the chances of their men being slaughtered
too certain and the chances of
success too uncertain.
The men of the Thirtieth Division
knew what they were up against just
as well as their officers did. There are
few officers, probably, who will deny
thrt Of course the officers had more
exact and comprehensive information;
but in a general way the men knew the
same thing, and for all practical purposes
their information was no less accurate.
But the feeling among the men of
the Thirtieth was they must take thos >
lines or die. They preferred to take
tho lines rather than die; but they
would rather have died than not take
trie unes.
They were not concerned so much
about the reputation of the officers as
they were about their own reputation
and peace of mind afterward; for they
did not mean to have it said that the
Germans had ever seen their backs
before the Hindenburg line or anywhere
else.
When General Bullard or whoever it
was, refused to obey the oruer of the
French general to retreat at Chateau
Thierry, because his men would not
"understand such proceedure," ho
knew exactly what he was felking
about. It may have be jn his own sentiments,
and no doubt was; but he
knew full well that if he had ordered
those men to retreat, he need never
again expect their confidence or respect.
He was speaking as the mouthpiece,
not as the commander of his men
when he said, "We did not come here
to retreat; we are going forw?Vd!"
Yes, it may be that if the men had
not been so impetuous iney wouia noi
have been killed up so badly. We do
not doubt that; but also we are most
decidedly of the conviction that if the
Americans had been less impetuous the
Germans would not have been so
quickly convinced as to what they
were up against, and the war would
be going on yet.
We believe that the few tens of thousands
who died in those first impetuous
rushes saved probably hundreds of
thousands who would have died later.
And we believe the American soldiers the
rank and file did it.
All honor to the Thirtieth Division.
HAIG'S FINAL REVIEW.
British General Praises Foch and the
Americans. ^
London, Tuesday, Jan. 7. Field Marshal
Hale- whose renort on oneratlons
from the end of April until the end of
hostilities was made public to-night
pays a high tribute to Marshal Foch
and alludes to the "splendid fighting
qualities of the American forces." In
concluding his report, the field marshal
wrotf:
"At the moment when Jhe final triumph
of the Allied cause Is assured,
we and all others of the Allied And associated
armies can look back on the
years that have gone with satisfaction
undimmed by any hint of discord or
conflict of interest and ideals. Few
alliances of the past con boast of such
a record. Few can show a purpose
more tenaciously and faithfully pursued
or so fully and gloriously realized.
*
"If the complete unity and harmony
of our action is to be ascribed to the
justice of our cause it is due to the
absolute ldyalty with which that cause
has been pursued by all those entrusted
with the control of the different Allied
armies which fought side by side."
The report takes up in derail the
fighting on various parts of tne British
front, which, the field marshal
states, was carried on as part of the
grand plan of the campaign laid down
by the Allied high command. At the
close of the operations the rq^rt declares:
"In the decisive contestin the
period covered by the report the
strongest and most vital parts of the
enemy's front were attacked, his lateral
communications were cut and his
best divisions were fought to a standstill.
On the d'fferent battle fronts the
British took 187,000 prisoners and 2,850
guns, bringing the total number
of prisoners captured during the year
nv?r !>ni nnn. These results were
achieved by 59 fighting British divisions,
which in the course of three
months battle engaged and defeated
99 separate German divisions. When
'he armistice was signed by the enemy
his defensive powers had already
hcen definitely destroyed. Continuance
of hostilities would have meant
only disaster to the German armies
and an armed Invasion of Germany.
American troops were the first to
break the Hlndenburg line, according
to The Dally News in Its comment today
on the report of Field Marshal
Haig on the operations from the end
of April last to the close of hostill
tics. The News points out tnat m
least the first mention of the break
through contained in the field marshal's
report was in the course of his
description of the day's work on September
29, in which he wrote:
"North of Pellenirllse the Thirtieth

and District of Columbia)

Between 15 and 20 persons, mostly
women and girls, were killed and more
than a score of others Injured at Pittsburg
Pa., last Monday afternoon when
a terrific explosion wrecked a film exchange
building in the business district.
Eight bodies have beevreC0V"
ered from the ruins. Firemen report
many bodies are buried under wreckage.
The building in which the explosion
occured, is a six-story structure,
and many of those injured receiving
their hurts by jumping from
tho upper floors. Many firemen were
injured, two when an extension ladder

and falling wreckage. Hospitals
throughout the city are receiving
wounded, while bodies are being removed
to the morgue. One report
circulated is that firemen have located
the bodies of eight young girls on the
third floor, huddled together. They
are supposed to have died of suffocation.
William Bennett, chief of the
Pittsburg fire deportment, went through
the ruined structure and ho estimated
the total loss of $1,000,000.
British soldiers in London are vigorously
protesting against delay in demobilization.
The vicinity of the war
office is being invaded by lorries filled
with men and by marching soldiers.
Many of them are from Salonika, and
are objecting to being sent back. On
the sides of the lorries are signs read
ing "get a move on," "give us our ticKets,"
"get on with it, Lloyd George,"
and other similar sentiments. The
men are generally well behaved and
treat the matter humorously, although
the" refused to disperse until a deputation
was seen by officials, who assured
them Viscount Milner, secretary of
state for war, and Gen- Sir William
Robertson are now in conference on
the grievances advanced by the soldiers.
The press is generally displaying
full sympathy with the troops, but
the more influential newspapers do not
hesitate to tell them they are acting
inadvisedly in taking their present
course, which is not open to their comrades
overseas who are equally entitled
to demobilization. One of the chief
causes of dissatisfaction is the belief
held-by numbers of the troops that
they are to be sent to Russia.

In a post-script to a business letter,
Solicitor J. K. Henry says: "That was
a delightful letter that you printed
from Major John W. McConnell." So
licitor Henry has no doubt voiced the
common verdict. The letter was not
only admirably written; but it dealt
with things about which the public
wants to know.
Columbia, it seems, wants to appropriate
the idea recently suggested by
Superintendent of Education John E.
Carroll of York county, for a building
in which to keep the records of South
Carolina soldiers in the war. Instead,
however, of making it a Richland
county building, it is proposed to make
it a state building to be erected by the
counties
WITHIN THE TOWN
The Mill People's Store, a Joint
stock co-operative enterprise, organized
a year ago with about two thousand
dollars capital, has about decided to go
into voluntary liquidation. A majority
of the stockholders present at a meeting
held a few days ago so decided,
and an agreement to that effect is now
being circulated for confirmatory signatwres.
Mr. C. Ij. Cobb, who is at the head
of the new bank enterprise/ was in
Yorkville Wednesday night. He said
that he was very much pleased at the
many expressions of approval that he
has been hearing since public announcement
had-been made with regard
to the proposed new enterprise.
"We are going right along with the
matter," he said, "and we are expecting
to be open for business Just as soon
as the banking quarters are ready."
Referring to the new bank to be
established in Yorkville, the Rock Hill
Herald of yesterday has the following:
"The Herald understands that Mr.
Cobb is the moving spirit in the organization
and that he will be president
of the bank. The cashier will be
. H. B. Jenkins, Jr., now of Gastonia.
who was formerly with the Peoples
National bank of this city. One of the
York citizens who wdl be interested in
the enterprise is J. M. Stroup, one of
the leading business men of that place.
Other well known York citizens will
be connected with the institution, and
stock will be widely placed among the
termers in the section surrounding
York."

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
In spite of the most strenuous efforts
on the part of the entire clerical and
mechanical forces of the office it has
been impossible to revise the mailing
lists up to later than Wednesday night.
As far as possible all subscriptions
expiring January 1 were strieken from
the list during Tuesday. Wednesday
and yesterday, and all names that had
been returned for renewal up to Wednesday
night were placed in today's
mailing list barring possibly a few errors.
At least 300 more renewals came in
during yesterday, and while we have
been able to get many of them In today's
list, it has not been possible to
work thein all up In time for their papers
to go off on the regular mails.

the list up to January, 1, along with
those that have been added since, and
these will be mailed out today to all
subscribers not already supplied.
That there have been errors as the
result of the pressure under whicn tne
entire force has been laboring during
the past ten days, is quite probable,
and of course such errors as may have
been made will be corrected as soon as
possible after they have come to our
attention.

AUCTION OF GUERNSEYS '
Attention is called to the proposed
auction of pure bred' Guernsey heifers
to be held in Rock Hill on Tuesday,
January 14.
The Enquirer takes pleasure in calling
especial attention to this auction,
because it wants to advise every farmer
who can do so to attend.
As to whether these cattle bring a
good price or a poor price is not the
immediate concern of this article; but
that they will bring a good price there
is absolutely no reason to doubt.
The individual who gpes to Rock
Hill expecting to pick up a fine
Guernsey heifer at the value of scrub
stock or someth'ng like that will be
disappointed. There will be people
on hand who will know what the cattle
are worth, and who will see that
they bring prices somewhere close to
their value. At the same time nobody
is going to get "stuck" or "burnt." It
is not to be that kind of a sale, nor is
it to be conducted by that kind of people.
'
The Enquirer is interested in this
auction sale for just one reason, and
that is its educational consideration.
There will be gathered at this sale a
large number of the most thoroughgoing
cattle experts this part of the
country affords, and along with them
some from a distance They will be
free, open and generous with'their information,
and the occasion will furnish
opportunity for valuable knowlf>rt?
for those who desire to learn.
It will be an interesting: day for
ihose who have a desire to learn something
about cattle, and to all who use
their eyes and ears it will be a profitable
day.
There should be a good attendance,
especially of the farmers of York and
surrounding counties.
CREAMERY CLOSED OUT.
The affairs of the Yorkville Creamery
association have been finally closed
out by the auction sale last Monday,
by O. E- Wilkins, trustee, of such real
and personal property as remained on
hand.
The property consisted of house and
lot, engine and boiler, separators, milk
tank, scales, furniture and fixtures, including
desks, chairs, etc.
J. H. Carroll bought the lot for $108;
Qulnn Wallace bought the house for
$190, and C. M. Inman, Farmers'
Hardware and Supply company, S. H.
Love, J. T. Crawford and J. A. Tate
bought the sundry and various other
articles sold, for an aggregate of
$482.76.
The Yorkville Creamery association
was organized \in October, 1910, on a
co-operative basis with a total capital
of $6,000, and continued its operations
for about five years, when it finally
frittered out.
The main incentive behind the organization
of the creamery was the
sale of the machinery outfit, etc- It
was done by professional promoters
who began by persuading farmers and
others what, a good opportunity the
proposition offered for the sale of milk
and butter and for dividends on the
necessary investment, etc.
For the $6,000 expended the stockholders
got a first-class outfit and all
that: but they paid double price for it
As those who interested themselves began
to learn about creameries, creamery
machinery and the like they gathered
that if they had only known how,
they could have secured about all that
was furnished to them by the promoters
for $3,000 or less.
Notwithstanding the handicap of excessive
cost of the plant, the creamery
enterprise started out nicely and it
made fine headway. Many farmers
who had previously given but little attention
to such matters, were induced
to purchase and milk additional cows,
and interest was stimulated in the
matter of butter production, and better
grades of milk cattle, etc.
For a time it looked as if the creamery
was to be a success in spite of all
obstacles; but the promise wits not finally
realized. The failure was due to
various considerations about which
there is plenty of ground for honest
difference of opinion; but on one thing
all of the more progressive and enlightened
business men connected with
the undertaking are agreed, and thai
one thing is that this experiment did
not show that the creamery Idea is in
the least impracticable,
GOVERNMENT MULE SALE.
About twenty-one hundred head of
government mules and horses, principally
mules, were sold by the government
in Charlotte on Tuesday and
Wednesday, and the occasion was one
of considerable interest not only to the
stock men; but to the horse and mule
buying public as well.
There were on hand stock dealers
from all parts of the country north,
south, east and west as well as hundreds
of individual farmers who were
looking for especially attractive barbains
in horse and mule flesh-. The
sale, which was conducted by professionals
who knew their business, was
in accordance with the proceedure fol- 1
lowed in the regular mule markets at i
public auction, in strings and lots, and
during two days the situation was lively
and interesting. v I
It was not intended to offer more i
than 1,000 mules the first day; but the '
bidding was so lively and spirited during
Tuesday, and the demand was so I
great, that the original plans were 1
changed and the sale was continued. <
Practically all the dealers remained on
the ground on the theor" that there 1
would be better bargains on Wednes- ]
day than on Tuesday; but it did not
turn out that way. The market con- (
tinued strong, and although most of <
the stock was bought by dealers, it was
at prices that were more suggestive of 1
St Louis than of the bargain counter 1
The representatives of the govern- <
ment in charge of the sale, knew their
business and most of the dealers knew <
their business. Those in charge of the (
sale were there to sell mules, and the 1
dealers were there to buy mules. The 1
logical consequence was quick sales at r
close to actual values. i
The auction started by the offering I
of strings of four horses or mules at a
time; but this did not last. The de- 1
mand was too strong. The dealers \
showed their willingness to absorb the 1
animals by the carload and carload
lots soon became the rule.
One dealer bid $172 round for 215
pack mules. That seemed to the other .
dealers to be a good price for the par- 1
nt mnip.q in ouestion. The J
auctioneer, however, said that the government
would not take that price.
The bidder raised his bid to >175, and
the last named price was accepted; but
in practically all other cases there was
more than one bid on each lot.
Dealers generally remarked the fine
condition of the stock offered. Some
of the animals had been doing more or
less work; but they were none the
worse on that account. Most of them
had been standing in the government
pens and lots eating government grain
and hay, and all were sleek and fat, as
fine a looking lot of stuff as anybodj
wishes to see.
"Of course a good many of the mules
were old. I saw mules sold at 1U and
14 years old that must have been 18
or twenty," said one dealer, "and some
of these sold at more than a hundred
dollars each- I would not have want
chI to have paid that ror tnom. i mum i
that taken altogether, the government, r
instead of losing must have made i
thousands of dollars on its sales." j

Nothing to It. f
A. J. Qulnn of Clover was in Char- r

some horse and mule bargains If he 1
could see any. "There was nothing \
there for me," said Mr. Qulnn, in the i

Charged with Murder.
It now develops that the death of (
Tom Woods, near Hickory Grove, not j
long ago, was due more to murder,
than suicide as was commonly supposed
at the time. May Belle Mead- .

other negro women that she killed '

Death of a Good Negro.
G. Roland Alexander, colored, who1
lived on Mr. J. J. Mathews .place near:
King's Mountain died last Monday
after a brief illness with influenza
Alexander was born In Bullock's
Creek township, a slave of the late
S. L. Davidson dr perhaps of John D.
Hamilton and was 58 years of age.
He was a farmer, a hard worker and
a good citizen, who stood high in the
estimate of his own race and of all
the whites who knew him. He leaves
a widow and four children, also two
brothers W. D. and J\ S. Alexander
who are of the sarhe type that he was.
Was Not Tempted Much.
Mr. Henry B. James of James Bros., ;
attended the big sale of army mulet>
and horses in Charlotte Tuesday and
Wednesday; but he did not buy very |
many. "I bought five or six head," he
said yesterday; "but that was all. 1 \
think Johnny is able to do' better dn <
Tennessee and Missouri. He can buy '
better stock off the farms of the west- ,
ern markets and at less prices- I went .
over there with the expectation of buy- ,
ing some mules and after witnessing ,
the wildness of the auction on Tuesday [
remained over Wednesday in the ex- (
pectation that It would get better; but (
it didn't. Why I have better bargains
for my customers than were obtainable
over there."
Blacksburg Hotel Burned.
The handsome new brick hotel
building Just being completed at
Blacksburg and only partially occupied
was destroyed by Are yesterday
mnrnliMr at about 3 o'clock. Messrs.
Ford Mclntirc of Shelby, aud R C.
Gcttys of Blacksburg, are owners of
the property. Mr. Mclntlre spent Wednesday
night In Yorkvllle and was at
the Shandon hotel yesterday morning
when de received the news of his loss
by telephone. He was unable to give
anv Information as to the probable
origin of tho fire. The hotel stood on
the site of the old Merchant's hotel
and was quite a handsome building.
The loss was probably In the neighborhood
of S) 1,000, with no Insurance,
Mr. Mplntlre sold.
Don't Think Much of It
Representative John R. Hart does
not think much of the proposition to
build roads by means of a bond issue
secured by assessing automobile owners
$20 each or any other amount Mr.
Hart says he is for good roads, and he
Is willing to support any law that
meets the approval of representative
business men and farmers of York
county; but he is not running after
any freak schemes that would build
roads in the Interest of certain localities
or anything like that He says
that if this proposed automobile assessment
bond scheme should go
through the stat4 would finally become
responsible for the whole thing
anyway. "I do not pretend to be In r
position to solve the good roads question
yet," said Mr. Hart, "but I am not
going to give my support to any kind
of a scheme that does not have the approval
of my best Judgment."
