Straps anil .facts. ; Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general j secretary of the board of temperance, prohibitions and public morals of the ' Methodist church, issued a statement ( from Washington a few days ago say- 1 ing that "the desperate effort of the j outlawed liquor traffic to make ere- ' dulous people believe that victorious 1 prohibitionists will now demand a 1 constitutional amendment against to- * bacco, not to mention dancing and ! failure to attend Wednesday evening J prayer meeting, is the limit of hypoc- 1 ricy. "There is not now and nevqr will < be," said the statement, "a movement ? to secure the prohibition of tobacco, , except perhaps its sale of minorsHowever the tobacco men should take warning that many millions of people have warmly resented the forcing of cigarettes on those of our boys who were not previously accustomed to. them, and they have resented with indignation the placarding of the country with giant signs saying that 'Cigarettes won the war,' and similar advertising methods." ? At the mass meeting of doctors in Wigmore Hall in London last Sunday, a proposal to form a trades union and use the strike as a weapon was narrowly defeated. Speeches were made in denunciation of the British Medical association, and a resolution to form a new body to safeguard the interests of the medical profession was carried by a vote of 182 to 93. Dr. Angus proposed an amendment to the effect that no body not registered as a ( trades union could adequately safeguard the interests of the profession. "You must line up with the other great : industries of the country and form a trades union of your own," he said. The amendment was declared to have been lost by a vote of 73 to 71. Cries ' of "recount" followed. The chairman , appealed for order, but the cries continued and the meeting broke up. Asked after the meeting whether he really advocated a strike of the doctors, Dr. Angus replied: "Certainly. If we ( can get representation in no other way, what alternative is there?" ? AKer months of deliberation, house and senate conferees have reached a final agreement on the oil leasing bill under which more than 50,000,000 ( anraa of eovernment owned oil. was, coal, phosphate and sodium lands In I western states and Alaska would be opened for development under a leasing system, subject to a royalty which in the case of oil and gas will bo not less than one eighth of the gross value of production. This legislation gen- 1 eraily regarded as the most important affecting the west that has been before congress within a decade has been pending for four years. Leaders in the senate and house hope to com- ' plete its enactment before the end of this session. After the conferees had settled all differences. Senator Pittman of Nevada and Representative 1 Ferris of Oklahoma, chairman of the ( senate and house managers, issued statements urging support of the bill and declaring that in its present form it was the best compromise that could i be hoped for. The conferees adopted the senate coal provision, which permits either the leasing or purcLase of government owned coal lands for development purposes. It was at the recommendation of the secretary of the ' Interior that Alaskan coal lands were brought within the provisions of the measure. Persons leasing any coal lands would pay a royalty of not less than two cents a ton. Sale of coal lands would be on the basis of competitive bids with a minimum of $10 an acre for certain lands and $20 an acre for certain others. The most sweeping removal of restrictions upon the exportation of foodstuffs made since the signing of the armistice was announced by the war trade board last Saturday. Commodities removed from the export conservation list were barley, corn and i rye, including flour and meal made from these grains, oats and oat products, brewers' grains, bran and middlings, beans, dried and split peas sugar and hydrogenated cottonseed oiL These articles constituted a majority of the food items on the restricted list and their removal is effective im- i mediately. Licenses to export them will be granted freely to all destinations, Including Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium. Heretofore such exports to these Allied countries were made exclusively by the food administration's grain corporation and the Wheat Export company. Attention ] was called to the fact that wheat and wheat flour remain on the restricted I list- There was no indication when it , would be removed, but it was said that probably it would remain in force until farmers of America for a maximum ' per cent on the 1919 wheat crop ex- 1 pired. Removal of the embargo on the ( other grains was expected by some officials to stabilize prices and re- 1 lieve what was described as a con- < gested market An advance In the price of corn was looked for by reason of the fact that prices fell sharply several weeks ago when removal of the embargo against the importation of Argentine corn was announced. It was said that there was a heavy demand in foreign countries for some of the grains now placed on the free list and particularly for rye. ? An eyewitness's sensational story of the murder of Dr. Karl Liebnecht and Rosa Luxemburg is told by the London Daily News in Berlin. This eyewitness was staying at the Eden hotel, where the arrest of the Radicals took place and he returned there j on the night of the tragedy at 10.30 , o'clock to find an armed sentry guarding the door. This sentry told him < that Dr. Liebknecht had been arrest- | ed and that it was intended to beat , him to death. In the immediate neighborhood of the hotel nobody was to be 1 seen. When he entered the hotel he i found a group of eight military officers and half a dozen civilians. There was an air of expectancy about them and in about fifteen minutes Rosa < Luxemburg appeared accompanied by ; the chief of the criminal police. A few , lotop T.lohUrerht ramp down the stairs, after having been question- 1 ed by the military. He was guarded i by armed soldiers. Just when Lieb- , knecht was passing the narrator of this affair, an officer of the guard sprang toward him shouting: "Is that 1 fellow still alive?" The officer then joined the military escort which left the hotel with both prisoners. In about fifteen minutes he returned and said Liebknecht had been beaten to death with the butts of rifles. The blows were struck from behind, this narrator states, and at the second blow Liebknecht collapsed. According to the statement made by one of the sentries. Liebknecht was deliberately murdered by the soldiers, who were encouraged to this deed by their officers. The next step taken was to .compel all civilians to leave the hall of the hotel in which the military and hotel employees were assembled alone. These employees afterward declared quite independently of each other that Rosa Luxemberg had also been 1 beaten down at the entrance to the hotel by soldiers and officers. There was no sign of any enraged crowd. While the second and prooaoiy me last annual report on the selective service system pi?epared by Major General Enoch H. Crowder, provost marshal general, and made public Wed- j nesday, contained only one specific ( recommendation, that the draft ma- ( ? hinery be used to take the decennial census, the 1,600-page document gave the first inkling of drastic extensions | of the work or fight regulations which , had been planned just before hostili- ' ties ended. The report showed that . specific plans were before Secretary ' Haker last November under which a , minimum working week for the essential industries would have been fixed , in order that "industrial slackers" might be reached, and that plans were shaping for the mandatory deferment of registrants in essential industry. ; denying them absolutely the right of military service. A scheme for supervising labor distribution through an industrial furlough system also was being evolved. As to the accomplish- i mcnts of the selective system, credit for which was given to the patriotic devotion of "thousands upon thou sands" of American men and women who aided. General Crowder said: "We are too close upon the events ac- i curately to assess them. How great a part American selective service played in the drama of the world war. history alone can tell. To enroll for service ; over 24.000.000: to mobilize a selective i army of more than 2,800.000, a million . >f tlum within the space of ninety lays; to have presently available for nilitary duty 2,000,000 additional flghtng men: to classify this vast group of nan-power in the order of its military ndustria! Importance so as to prelerve the domestic and industrial life >f the nation: to speed up war time ictlvitles, to maintain them in a status of maximum efficient produc:lon, and to pave the way for p. speedy -eturn to normal peace-time pursuits, vhile recruiting the full fighting strength of the nation these are results which would be instantly rejected as impossible did not the actual 'acts stand as Irrefutable testimonials jf their accomplishment." $hr \lovhvillr inquirer Entered at the Postofflce at York as Mail Matter of the Second Ctasa. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1919. That "newspaper" the war intelligence board published proved a complete failure just as every newspaper publisher in the country knew it would. People simply will -not subscribe and pay for a newspaper that does not depend for existence upon the people's judgement as to its merits. The soldiers who have been across are glad to wear the gold cheveron indicating the fact, while the soldiers who have not been across look upon the sliver chevron as a badge of dishonor rather than otherwise- They would rather not be compelled to wear anything, and we really think the matter should be left optional with them, In a speech in the house the other day, Representative Henry T. Rainej of Illinois, said the waT had developed no less than 17,000 millionaires since 1914. He said that a careful examination of official statistics showed thai there were only 7,400 millionaires in the country in 1914. In 1915 there were at least 10,600 millionaires. In 1916 the number had increased to 17,000, and although no statistics were available for 1917 and 1918, he fell sure that the number of millionaires had reached 24,000, to say nothing ol the near-millionaire/: "If a bill is nicely dressed in the uniform of a soldier, there is a tendency to omit investigation of its merits," was a declaration that was made on the floor of the house the other day. That was a wise saying. This member had as deep a sense of obligation to the soldier as had any Kn U'Q O Q hf?t. man on mc iiuui, ??.v. ter friend to the soldier than many of the people who are trying to do something without knowing how. The soldier is entitled to everything that can be done for him; but it takes men of brains, experience and wisdom to do the right thing. It is well to keep this fact in mind. ^ The present road law had its origin in political demagogy more than anything else. Thd moet" progressive step in road improvement that has been made by any member of the legislature from this county up to the present time was made by Dr. J. H. Saye in 1907. There had been lots of road talk previous to that time; but no representative had ever developed the courage to provide the one thing needful the money. Dr. Saye, then a member of the house, took the responsibility of passing a bill that provided for the levy of a 2-mill tax in each township for road purposes. Our recollection is that Dr. Saye followed a voluntary movement that had been originated by Dr. T. N. Dulin in Bethel township. Dr. Saye, however went further with the imposition of a $3 per capita tax and a plan for working the roads by contract. The whole plan was along the right line; not under conditions as they then existed, was so ihvionalv vulnerable to orimitive ideas 3f real progress, etc., that the doctor made himself a political mark. Some of his colleagues even told him at the lime that it would ruin him, and they consented to help him through with the proposition only on condition tha^ he take the full responsiblity, which he did. \V. H. Stewart took advantage of the opportunity thus furnished to ?et to the senate on the strength of the popular objection to taxes for roads or anything else. He attacked the two mill tax and especially the per capita tax. At the same time he presented a Utopian scheme for the sections of the county that were inhabited by a majority of the voters without telling where the money was coming from. After he got to the senate he enacted his scheme into law "lnO ?Vio lav wrartifflllV JLS it Was. for he very well understood thai there I'ould be no showing on the roads within the next four years without some money. The Stewart law has never been carried out, of course; but nevertheless so far as the statutes are concerned it continues the basis of about all the road system the county has. TOEING THE MARK. Americans In Coblerz Make Germans Walk the Chalk Line. The snappy work of the American military police in this area, writes a correspondent from (Joblenz, would dc credit to the finest police force in the world. Stern justice is being meted out to all native offenders against the American ordinance*:. To make justice more effective the burgomaster is required by the commander in chief of the Third army to inseit an advertisement in the local newspapers weekly giving the names of all convicted offenders, the nature nf thuir offences nnd the amounts thev were finedToday's Coblenz Gazette contains the burgomaster's advertisement naming seven Germans, including one woman, who were triec and found guilty by the superior provost court last week. Five of the offenses were for buying or otherwise having possession of foodstutl's which are the property of the American army. Corpl. Bloomenth.il of Kordorf, was fined 3,000 marks (about $715, normally) for buying a bag of Hour from an unnamed American officer; Jakob Kratz of Coblenz, 500 marks ($110) for having a case of American soap: Rudolf Suesmann of Coblenz, 600 marks for harboring a bag of American army coffee, and Joseph Huber of Coblenz, 1,000 marks ($238) for buying a bag of army flour, and Frau Gertrude Huber. his partner in crime, was fined 1,000 marks for having army fiour, shoes, raincoats, blankets and cigarettes. Unless rigorously suppressed by military justice such illicit traffic in army foodstuffs and other merchandise might assume astounding proportions, as German clandestine traffic could absorb any quantity of army merchan dlse by paying fabulous prices and thus putting a premium on dishonesty. The small number of actual convictions each week is a high tribute to the morale and honesty of the American army of occupation, considering the tremendous temptation to which men handling supplies are exposed. The most interesting conviction of the week was that of Alfred Dyrcflf of Coblenz, who was found guilty of misuse of the American flag for commercial purposes and of misconduct toward the Intelligence Police. He was fined 500 marks. A v?ise principle of the American military administration is to enforce UJIIJ lllC IVUW Ufin" ncccooa i y nuu mildest possible ordinances. But one I is made to see that the natives live up > to them as well as to the spirit of the military ordinances. WHY GERMANY FAILED. There Came Two Many Americans With Bayonets. The story of Germany's supreme effort for military victory in the spring of 1918, of American intervention on the western front and of the ultimate crushing defeat of the enemy and the apparent annihilation of nearly half of his fighting force is graphically told in figures made public, by the war department. They deal with the "rifle strength" of the Allied and the German forces on the western front in monthly periods from April 1 to November 1. and were prepared by the intelligence division of the general staff of the American army in France. By rifle strength was meant the . "number of men standing in the trench ready to go over with bayonet" When Germany struck its great blowlast spring, it had a million and a half men so classified against the Allied i total of a million and a quarter. By June 1, the Germans reached their pea!< with 1,639,000 rifles, but despite the terrible pressure they were exerting i against the Allied lines, American aid was overcoming the handicap and made possible trie counter diow aeuv1 ered in July. The Allied strength on June 1, was , 1,496,000. Shortly afterwards the Al| lies reached a total of 1,547,000 composed of 778,000 French, 515,000 Brit Ish and 254,000 Americans. America's , contribution had risen from 65,000 in April. On July 1, Germany's power had begun to wane and for the first time it was definitely inferior in rifle ' strength with 1,412,000 compared to r 1,556,000 for the Allies. , Up to September 1, the Allied strength continued to gain despite the ! desperate counter-attack which was being driven forward all along the t line. In mid-October the American strength had r^en to an estimated 1 force of 350,000. On September 1 the > Allied line was at its greatest strength i with 1,682,000, against Germany's 1,339.000. While the Allies had shrunk in rifles ; to 1,485,000, on November 1, Germany's : last hope was gone as she faced that , army with only 866,000 bayonets. , The sudden decline of the German forces beginning in June and again apparent In the swift drop during October, was accounted for by the fact that she had drawn into the lines during the spring every available reserve, expecting to smash her way to victory before winter came. These reserves were used up in the German attack 1 and the Allied assaults wmcn iuhuwed, while the American force continued to increase. , In a rough way the American rifle strength was represented by about 20 per cent of the total American force in Franco continuously. This accounts for the fact that with a total of more than two million men in France on 1 November 11, the rifle strength in Oci tober was estimated at around 350,000 men. A similar situation was shown in staff reports as to the total Allied strength, reckoned as "ration strength" which was continuously greater than i that of the German army throughout the spring and summer last year. FIGHTING IN RUSSIA. , Americans Putting Up Desperate Defense; But Need Reinforcements. Heavy losses were Inflicted on the Bolshevikl by the American forces Tuesday, says an Archangel cable, and \ the enemy was driven back in disorder from the village of Vistaka on the Vaga. The American casualties were five killed and several wound, ed. Many Bolshevik soldiers were 1 taken prisoner by the Americans. The enemy early in the morning began a bombardment with field guns and howitzers and under cover of a sharp nel ana pompom narraRtj raanjcu ? frontal attack with Infantry in the artic twilight at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The American troops who were rested after their retirement from Shenkursk and were now established in a good position, poured a heavy fire from artillery and machine guns into the charging Bolshcviki whose ranks broke and fled into the woods. Captured Bolshevik! declared that the enemy had planned a flank attack simultaneously with the frontal movement but this was abandoned when the Vistaveka attempt failed. Chinese and Manchu troops are now. included in the Bolshcviki forces opposing the American on the Vaga. So far these have been held in reserve but the Americans are preparing a warm reception for the yellow soldiers if they appear in the fighting line, in , view of the stories reaching them of the Manchu treatment of prisoners in the Baltic provinces. Yesterday's defeat of the enemy on the Vaga. together with his failure on the Dvina, typifies the spirit of the American and other allied troops who are fighting with the utmost determination to hold tbeir positions until reinforcements can reach them. These defeats have considerably lowered the enemy moral, but the Bolsheviki are beine constantly reinforced, and while their 'offensive has been temporarily checked, there are indications that it will be renewed when fresh Bolshevik! forces reach the line. Details were received at headquarters today of the bravery displayed by a little squad of about 15 Frenchmen, who were victims of an enemy raid on the village of Bolshie O/.era Monday. Mistaking the enemy for returning Russian prisoners of war, the French detachment permitted the Bolsheviki to advance close to their position. Then they found themselves surrounded by a force of 150 of the ene! my. Calling upon them to surrender the Frenchmen refused and tried to fight their way out. Two were killed, three were wounded and six were unaccounted for for a time. Four of these six turned up today, two of them wounded, apparently escaped from their captors. The situation is unchanged in the D\ ina and railroad fronts. Allied troops were again forced to retire in the face of Bolsheviki attacks along 1 the i'inega river, but the positions of the Americans at the town of Plnega ' have not been attacked. I * * * ! To Bring Soldiers Home. The war department has authorized General i Pfirshimr tn send to the United States. for the purpose of Immediate disi charge, individual drafted or enlisted I men upon presentation of convincing > testimony to the effect that there exists ! serious indisposition or other distress in the soldier's family. Men may make their own request for such discharge, or a request for ? ; discharge may be made direct by letter , or cable to the commanding general, i American Expeditionary Forces, in i France, by a member of the soldier's family or by another interested and i responsible person. In either case, the request must be accompanied by good and sufficient testimony to the effect i that the need really exists. General Pershing also has been authorized to discharge in Europe, on i their own application, men who give good and sufficient reasons for requesting such discharge, and who waive any claim for sea travel allowances from Europe to the United ' States. Men so dicharged will he paid travel allowances from their station In Europe to the port of emarkation, and from Hoboken, New Jersey, to the place of enlistment or induction into the service. These instructions apply to enlisted or drafted men who entered the service since April 1, 1917. Men who entered the service on or before April 1. 1917, may be furloughed to the United States when the need is clearly indicated. LOCAL AFFAIRS, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS James Bros.

People who do enough traveling ovei the county to become familiar wit! general road conditions, say that the best up-keep work of which they hav? any knowledge, is that being done bj Mr. Claud Robinson on the section ol road between his house and Sharon The road itself is a mean one, in thai it has more high and steep hills anc more difficult curves in the same distance than any other road in the county. The physical character of the surface is nothing to brag on either. Bui nevertheless, Mr. Robinson has beer keeping it in most excellent condition After the publication of the result) of the club contest in The Enquirer ol last Tuesday, it was noted that th< name of Mrs. J.

To leave out such a name without an explanation would put us in r position that we would not like to occupy. Therefore we beg to extend-A> apologies to Mrs. Howell and to all'hl those w"ho contributed to her flnt achievement. Mr. J. C. Burge of No. 3, Yorkville who is one of the highest autlioritie> in this county on the value of crimsor clover, having been one of the pioneei experimenters some seven or eight years ago and having made a success of it ever since, told The Enquirer s few days ago that his acreage is small, er this year on account of scarcity ol seed. The war interfered with the import of crimson clover seed and Mr Burge has had to depend more largel> upon such seed as he has been able tc save than on such as he could buy "But while crimson clover Is all right,' he said, "I have become a convert tc bur clover. Bur clover does not take the place of crimson clover. We need them both: but the bur clover is certainly great and after several years ol experience I am trying to get practically my whole place seeded to It. WITHIN THE TOWN ? Valentine day next Friday, is already creating a considerable ripple ol interest, apparently more than in other years. ABOUT PEOPLE. Miss Nellie Moore, of Yorkvllle has influenza. Miss Florence Cody of Yorkvllle, It visiting relatives in Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. W. T. Moore, and two children, Mary and Joe, have been ill with influenza, Mrs. Margaret L. Grist of Columbia, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. H.*E. Neil, in YorKvuie. ' ^r. W. W. Blair, who is contracting In Sumter, visited his family at Bullock's Creek this week. The family of Mr. Ebenezer Edwards, of Lesslie R. F. D. No. 1, has been having a siege of Influenza during the past several weeks, all being down except Mr. Edwards, who continued in good health. Mrs. Edwards and the children are now getting better. Mr. A. K Whitesides, recently released from active service in the navy, was in Yorkville Wednesday, and is to leave for the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, today. Mr. Whitesides says that he really enjoyed his service in the navy rather than otherwise; but at the same time he wants to finish at college. What he is going to do after that, of course, he does not know. THE FRENCH ORPHANS. Major J. Wilson McConnell, with the American expeditionary forces, has sent a very interesting letter that French orphans wrote to him and some other American officers in ap preciation 01 a rxow i ear a ueai. mai the officers gave the children. The penmanship of the letter is something remarkable not even making allowance for the fact that it is the work of a little fellow who is not more than a dozen years of age and it would be difficult to belive that the child really wrote it except for the fact that Dr. McConnell says he saw other specimens of the boy's work that satisfied him of the genuineness of this beyond a doubt. Here is a translation of the letter, as made by Dr. McConnell: "Messrs. Officers: All of the little French children who are at Le Puy, thanks to the kindness of the committee La Fayette, are happy to thank you for the gift you have offered them on January 1st. The joy of the beautiful day will be for us unforgettable. "We have had much happiness when we were presented with the beautiful stockings filled with bonbons, almonds and toys so beautiful and so delicious "Now we wish, in tnm tn become men worthy of your recognition. We love you well, Messrs. Officers, and we will never forget what you have done to save France. How many thousands of yours have given their lives to come to our aid! "If there arrives a day when you , have need of the little French for A which you have done so much, we will be la rare then; also we will defend ^ you. We also, if It Is necessary, will n . give our. lives for you. y 'We pray you, Messrs. Officers, to 0 s accept our good wishes and our j thanks. We will try to hold ourselves ^ 1 worthy of your kindnesses in showing , ourselves worthy little friends of an ^ r Allied nation, which showed Itself so 1( i generous toward us." ti j REPAIR OF THE HIGHWAYS. J There has been a good deal of con- f ' fusion and no little feeling during the * ? past year as to the repair of the so- e ' called "main highways." of York v ? county, constructed by the chaingang. jj T? lo lmnnm that an Mt Was DRSSed s ' lk " " *" w ~~ - . JL at tWe last session of the general as- f | sembly which In some way set apart tl i a certain portion of York county's ^ r share of the state automobile license , tax for this purpose. S ( Some of the automobile license tax , has been used for repair and. up-keep ? 1 work; but there is a considerable a amount of repair and up-keep work n ' that is necessary, and which is believ- Jj ed to have a claim on this or some 0 r other fund; but which remains unat- b ! tended to. 8 There has been received by the ? ; county treasurer a little less than $5,000 from the state automobile 11- . , cense tax, and from this sum there t i have been a number of payments, and .' of course there remains in the hands t( ' of the treasurer all that part of the 1 fund which has not been expended. [ Asked about the automobile license , tax fund. Supervisor Boyd said that ? he has transferred some of it for i road work; but he has not undertaken L to carry out the act In detail for the .. reason that he has not found it prac- *" [ ticable to do so. t The statute relating to the matter *; reads as follows: ? "Section 2123. The county supervi sor while so working the public high- e ways, shall co-operate with the town- F 1 ship supervisor in each township J through which the highway may pass; a i and when said work is completed by ^ r the chalngang, the township supervl- 0 sor for that township shall keep the j ' same in repair: Provided that the j, three main highways of the county as | set forth in the preceding section 2122, r outside the corporate limits of any c r incorporated city, town or villp.ge, jy shall be maintained and kept in re- 0 ' pair by the supervisor and county i commissioners, and that the funds re- ^ , ceived by the 'county from the state n i automobile license tax shall be ex- ^ pended by them in the maintains nee n and repairs of said three main high- t ways, and that an additional shall be \ r added to the above fund by taking from c , the township road funds, through q which said highways may pass, an t ' amount equal to 315 a mile of the said a i main highways included in and ex- t r tending through each township, v ( through which Baid highways pass, e and the county treasurer is hereby t * authorized, and directed to create the c I fund as above provided, as a main- f 1 tainance and repair fund for the pur- a pose as above mentioned. Provided c further, that all funds received by the a ' country from the state automobile 11- c cense tax arising from any town- fl I ship through which said main highways may not pass, or have not been graded, shall be expended in the main tainance and repairs of the public } roads in each township." . The three main highways set forth 1] [ in section 2122, referred to are 1, Road c 3 from Gaston line to Chester by way a r of Clover, Yorkville and McConnellsville. 2, Road from Catawba Junction ' to Cherokee line by way of Rock Hill, t - Yorkville. and the "most practicable I i route" west S, Road from Fort Mill, a t to McConnellsville, through Rock Hill s and the blackjacks. n Study of the act with a view to 'a putting its provisions into effect, 2 i brought the supervisor up against b . conditions that made him pause as to further procedure. G For one thing, no part of the pro- n f posed three highways has ever been a s built In Catawba township, and there- v fore Catawaba township could not equi- * tably be held for up-keep. , For another thing, that while no 5 part of the Yorkville, Rock Hill road is n in Catawba township, Rock Hill which p 1 is in Catawba township gets the full c benefit of it, and Catawba township n t is assessed nothing while York and ^ Ebenezer are to be assessed $15 a mile p from their 2-mill road tax. {. 1 The north and south road runs n through King's Mountain township t close along side of the Bethel line, in c such a way to be of as much benefit (j ' to Bethel as King's Mountain, yet all E of the upkeep is taxed against King's n Mountain township. n , This road runs through the west- a ern side of Bethesda township, yet the law would rob all the other roads in ' the township for upkeep of a road in t , which the other roads are not particu- t k lary interested. c Bethel township has had as much it I benefit from the chaingang proportion- 1< . ably as a township as any other town- e . ship in the county. There is a good r road in the township running out east t< " from Clover almost to Catawba river; r yet the law does not even make an c effort to tax Bethel $15 a mile or any other amount for the upkeep of this b rn<ir!_ if Bullock's Creek, Broad River, Beth- i( ; el, and Catawba townships, under the v statute are entitled to their full pro n ' rata of the state automobile license c tax fund without deduction on account n of the main highways. The understanding is that the leg- *] islative delegation is now trying to 1 i envolve and agree upon a more just, *> equitable and practicable method of e i keeping the main and other highways ? in repair, and the untangling of the tangle will depend in large measure c on the outcome of the delegation's ef- *1 forts. 8 LOCAL LACONICS g Applications for Nitrate. S ' The time In which applications may 8 ' be made to the government for nitrate e of soda at $81 a ton, f. o. b. ports, has d been extended to February 15.

Watkins of Cherokee, captured a o distillery Friday, about fourteen miles b from Gaffney, on the waters of Big w Thickety creek. Two white men were e at work when the officers arrived, but t< both men made their escape, carrying a with them a jug which the officers ti supposed contained whisky. The still e was located at a place which it was st very difficult to approach quietly, fi which accounts for the fact that the si men succeeded in making their escape. t< W Convention for Spartanburg. e The state convention of the W. O. oi W., which was to have been held in t< 1 Rock Hill on March 18 and 19, is to u be held in Spartanburg instead. The ci reason for the change, according to tl Mr. Max G- Brjant. who conferred q with the executive committee in Co- \ lumbia, is because of health conditions n in Rock Hill, and the possibility that the quarantine now of force, might be suddenly re-instituted on short notice. A ; The Women's Auxiliary of the W. O. w W., which was to have met in Rock el Hill at the same time, may also be P changed to apartanDurg. ??. ; A Hint as to Sheep Raising. Arthur C. Barnett, a young farmer a of Bethel township, on Yorkville a No. 6, who has for several years lr been giving a good part of his time to o' hogs, sheep, chickens, etc., has +iad a di little experience with sheep that gives C1 a hint as to what might be accomplish- ei ed in this industry with proper care tl and attention. In August 1916, Mr. w Barnett purchased t\vo fine ewes for ii J10 and later on a registered ram ror w $43.14. From the original pair of It ewes there have heen nine lambs. A U hog killed one of these and two were cs sold for $35. From the wool sold the el sum of $25.02 has been realized in r< cash, and in addition Mr. Barnett has si eight blankets made from different ir clips that would sell on the market w for not less than $40. He still has on w hand, including the ram, eight sheep w that he could sell for $200; but which T are not for sale. The total direct in- a) vestment has been $53.14, and the to- ci tal outcome has been $300.02. c< \ # tssailants of Deputy Colt.

The Columbia State seems to think hat there will be no trouble about a wo-thirds majority in the house for ailing a constitutional convention. In ts issue of yesterday appears the follurinir TK# hnnap vAsterriav rpcelv d the Christensen-McGhee concurrent esolutlon from the senate proposing 0 submit to the people the question of ewriting the state constitution. The onstitution was written in 1896 and 1 in many respects obsolete or encumered with restrictions. This question i now the most important piece of egislation before the lower house and rill likely be reported out by the committee within the next few days. Conensus of opinion is that a two-thirds majority in the house can be mustered or the passage of the resolution. If be resolution should be approved by he house, the question would be submitted to the people at the general lection of 1920. The following legisxture would then be required to rame such regulations, governing the ailing and fixing the time for holding he convention, which would be in the pring or more likely in the summer of 921. Lexington, February 4: Henry trickland, a well known farmer of wansea section of this county, was hot and instantly killed by his brothr, James Strickland, at about noon toay, soon after which James Strickmd went to his own home about a i uarter of a mile away, went into the ouse, pulled off his shoes, went out ? n the porch and blew out his own rains. From information received ere over the long distance telephone, t seems that there had been a grudge 1 f long standing between the two 1 rothers. James Strickland, it is said, rent to the home of Henry today, calld Henry out of the house and offered ) make terms of peace. Henry agreed i nd sat down on the front steps to ' ilk the matter over. No sooner, howver, according to the report, had he at down than James drew a pistol rom his pocket and fired. The first hot missed its mark, and Henry arose J m get out of the way, it is claimed, i rhen a second bullet from his broth- ] r's pistol killed him instantly. Both f the men were up in forty and well- ' 3-do farmers. Both leave large famies. The double killing has naturally aused a gloom of sorrow to spread ] iroughout the entire section- An in- j uest was held over the two bodies by j [agistrate E. M. Martin this after- ] oon. Chester, February 3: Virgie Mobee, aged 14 years, was electrocuted rhen he came in contact with a 44,000 , lectric power wire of the Southern ower company Saturday near Nltro- " >e in Chester county. His body was , jverely burned and his garments ere burned to a crisp. Young Mchee and his father, Samuel McAbee, nd some other men engaged in huntig Saturday and after the hunt was rer Virgil stayed behind to take the f ogs home. It is thought that he 8 limbed one of the electric wire tow- J rs to see if he could see the dogs and 1 r>ama fnr> elose to one of the ires, which caused his death. He fell 5 feet to a straw field below, which as. ignited by his burning clothes. ; is impossible for the boy to have t een shot to death as his body indi- ' ited r.o gunshot wound. That he was 8 lectrocuted is substantiated by the c jcords at the power station, which iow that some object at 12.40 came * i contact with the wires. The tower ith which the boy came in contact as badly burned and two telephones * ere burned out, by the short circuit. \ he McAbee family had been living r t Great Falls only a month.

Strategy of opponents of equal suffrage was said to have prevented er record vote In Indorsement of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage constitutional amendment resolution at a conference of Democratic senators Wednesday night. After more than two hours of debate. Senator Jones of New Mexico, proposed Indorsement of the constitutional amendment measure. Twenty senators voted favorably but all of the opponents refrained from voting and Senator Martin, the Democratic leader, who presided, declared that the resolution was not adopted because a quorum was not present. Before the vote on the Jones proposal a motion of opponents of the res olutlon to adjourn was dereated, za to 17. After adjournment, Senator Jones, chairman of the woman suffrage committee, said the conference action left the matter open for further consideration and would not affect his plans to call up the resolution In the senate next Monday. "When we came to final action," said Senator Jones, "there waa not a majority of the conference present and therefore no quorum with which to act on the resolution. A large majority of those present, however, were in favor of the resolution." The political expediency of acting on tho suffrage amendment was the principal theme of debate, which was marked by its vehemence. At times senators spoke so loudly that their voices reverberated through the thick doors of the conference room and echoed through the corridors. Advocates of the resolution argued that the fortunes of the Democratic party would be aided by favorable action on the equal suffrage question and said If it was defeated future political benefits would be received by the Republican party. Opponents were said to have contended that political expediency should not be a factor in so serious a matter as amending the constitution. The meeting, the first held by the Democratic senators during the war. broke up in a roar of laughter over the ruling of Senator Martin on the point of no quorum on the final vote. It was announced that one more recruit for the suffrage resolution had been gained in Senator Pollock of South Carolina, who spoke In its support Friends of the resolution said privately that It will be brought before the senate next Monday with at least 63 of the 96 votes assureu in 1L9 10.VW1. This would be one short of the required two-thirds but advocates expressed confidence that the one additional vote necessary for its adoption could be secured. CLOVER CULLINGS.
