Secretary Glass has Informed the f
house ways and means committee that *
It Is apparent "something must be *
done to make the bonds or notes of *j
the victory liberty loan more attractive
than their nredecessors" and has
asked that congress give him authority '
to fix interest rates and determine exemptions
from taxation according to .
financial conditions existing when the
loan is floated In April. The head of ,
the 1 nation's financial system also
urged that authority be given advances
to exporters not to exceed $1,- '
000,000,000 and that the purpose for i
which the treasury may make loans to
foreign governments be broadened. Mr.
Glass said both provisions were necessary
to restoration of the country's
foreign trade and would be mutually
helpful to this government and the
Allies.
? Following suggestions made in an
address to a joint session of the general
assembly last Thursday by W. P.
. Harding governor of the federal reserve
board, a bill will be introduced
in the legislature providing for the organization
of a cotton corporation, under
the Webb act, to stimulate trade
Piimnonn markets for Cotton.
*U VUV uuivi^vw y.
Mr. Harding said in his address that
he wished to see the plan incorporated
by some state legislature, the proposed
scheme contemplating the organization
of two such corporations,
one for Texas and the remote west,
and another for the south Atlantic and
Gulf states. Consening the value of
the crop already produced is the great
est problem confronting the cotton
grower, he said, and with the organization
of a cotton corporation to become
the selling agent in foreign fields,
the grower can assign a definite por-?
tion of his crop each year to the foreign
market and artificial stimulation
of the market would thus be eliminated,
and the cost of production and
demand for the crop yield their natural
Influence upon the market.
'Catherine Breshoysokaya, known
throughout the world as the "grandmother
of the Russian ' revolution,"
was before the senate propaganda inquiry
committee, in Washington last
Friday, begging that agricultural-machinery,
sewing machines, lead pencils,
everything, be sent to Russia to assist
a fV>A PlIQ.
in tne reconstrucwuu ui
sian nation and ridding it of Bolshevism.
This remarkable woman, affectionately
known to all Russians as i
"Babushka," or little grandmother, is
75 years of age. She was sent to Siberia
for preaching revolution to the '
peasants against the monarchy and 1
was kept there for 32 years, being re- ,
leased only after the deposition of the
czar. When she came back to Mos- 1
cow the Bolsheviki were in control. <
They considered her too conservative,
and hunted her for three months with
a view to putting her out of the way.
She escaped to America and her appearance
before the senate committee i
was to ask help for her people. She
said that her people did not want the
Bolsheviki and they would welcome
intervention that an army of 50,000 i
men could restore order. She said that
anything was preferable to Bolshevism,
that a "soviet" was only a gang
of plunderers.
Instances of severe sentences imposed
by courtmartial upon soldiers
found guilty of minor offenses were recited
before the senate military committee
a few days ago by Brig. Gen.
Samuel T. Ansell, acting Judge advocate
general, whe appeared to urge
enactment of a law authorizing revtanra
of courtmartial sentences?by the
judge advocate. General Ansell was
asked by members of the committee
why It was that many conscientious
objectors had been discharged from
the army while enlisted and selective
> ~ service men were required to remain
in camps, bpt he asked to be excused
from answering. Chairman Chamberlain
later announced that Secretary
Baker would be called for questioning
on this subject. In discussing courtmartial
cases, General Ansell told the
committee that personally he favored
the pending Chamberlain bill granting
broad powers of review in court martial
cases, but said that generally
war department officials opposed the
provisions of the measure. Prior to
the war, he said, American courtmartlal
laws were more stringent than
those of any other country except
Spain, Germany and Russia Review
of courtmartlal sentences in General
Ansell's opinion should be placed in
k? hmja nf a indicia] officer. Grant
ing of the power to the president, he
said, was tantamount to placing it in
the hands of the chief of staff.
What is declared to be the largest
private distillery ever found in the
United States was unearthed in the
basement of the Altmore apartment
house at Chattanoogo, Tenn., last Friday
by the police and the alleged operator
and owner of the apartment, H.
Kelso Hailey, prominent club man and
business man, was placed upder arrest
along with three negroes, alleged to be
assisting him. The distillery was discovered
by accident. City Detectives
Burks, Paradiso and Gillespie having
been at the time chasing a negro
charged with housebreaking, who
sought refuge in a secret passage to
the apartment One apparatus of 100gallon
capacity daily was in full operation,
they said, while arrangements
were being made to place four more
stills at work, w hich would have turned
out a total of 8,000 gallons a day.
Hailey was discovered working on a
copper worm in one of the many apartments
under the building, the detectives
report, and great quantities of
* 1 fo?*mnnta _
com in VHJ'iuua- Oiaen Vt ...v.
tlon for making whiskey were found.
The fumes and smoke were carried
above the building in pipes and a blow
pipe was found In the room where the
still was. The equipment was new,
but older apparatus which had been
discarded in order to secure greater
capacity was found in the place. Halley
gave bond for his apparence in local
and federal courts.
Philipp Scheidemann, 'chancellor of
the new provisional government, speaking
in the German national assembly
last Friday, elaborated upon the government's
recent statement of its policy.
His speech was an effective one
and the representatives of all the parties
in the assembly, from right to left
listened to him attentively and, for the
most part, sympathetically. The independent
Socialists from time to time
interrupted the speaker with sarcastic
?""nrka or lauarhed derisively, but the
remainder of the house was in no temper
to listen to these interruptions,
and there were many who joined in the
frequent attempts to repress them by
free use of the sibilant sound. This
hushing process was particularly directed
against one of the independent
Socialist woman members. Herr Scheidemann
gained the greatest applause
when he declared that President Wilson's
program had been wholly accepted
by the government and by a reference
he made to the retention by the
Allies of the German prisoners. He
sharply attacked the advocates of a
minority dictotarship, upon whom he
laid all the blame for all the blood shed
in the early days of the German revolution.
The independent socialists who
entered the cabinet were, said Scheidemann,
"cursed with inherited sin
against the spirit of democracy." An
Interruption by the independents at
this point was drowned by the applause
from the remainder of the
house, while at other times the speaker's
utterances were liberally applauded.
Drastic legislation to protect the
government in its financial operations
and the people of the United States
from "threatened grave injury," growing
out of the issuance of securities of
doubtful worth, is being asked of congress
by Secretary Glass. In a letter
to Chairman Kitchin of the house ways
and means committee, Mr Glass urged
early enactment of a law drawn by the
capital issues committee which would
require all corporations or persons desiring
to sell stock through the malls
- *- in nt*wsna
or UlTOUgn uuvrrn3CIIICIIV ... .. ,
pern circulated through the malls, to
file with the secretary comprehensive
statements concerning the stock. It
also would make the persons required
to sign the statements personally responsible
for any falsity therein. Wilful
violation of the act would be punishable
by fine of $5,000 or imprisonment
of one year, or both, and persons
suffering from intentional misrepresentations
in the statements could recover
damages. "The country is being
flooded with stock flotations at the
present time, many of which are of
ery doubtful worth and many of P
vhich are fraudulent," Mr. Glass's let- tj
er said. "The millions of holders of
?ur Liberty bonds are being solicited x
>y paid agents to exchange these bonds tl
'or these securities, thus not only seri- tl
>usly diminishing our resources which
ihould be kept available for government
financing, but as well bringing in a
nany cases financial loss and ruin and
jeriously Jeopardizing national finances
from the resultant sale on the
market of government securities by P
those who have thus obtained posses- t<
hon of them- Public protests are com- v
ing in from all parts of the United
States." c

The key to cotton prices lies with f

If the action of the senate in the h

not a violation of Section 7 of Article

As matters now stand boys coming a

those who have been discharged since

It Is very well for Americans to re- t
member that the United States went to j
war not against the German people; s
but ^gainst the rulers of the German t
people. The Idea was received at the c
time with more or less derision even i
by the German people. They could s
not understand how such a thing was d
possible. But now it has been made d
clear. The then rulers of the German ji
people have been overthrown and dis- y
credited and the German people are a
now speaking for themselves through t
their own representatives. It is noth- d
ing but right and just that the German n
people should make good as far as v
possible the devastation and ruin they t
have wrought in France and Belgium g
and this they will be required to do. t

There remains unpaid a large per 1<
cent of the subscriptions that were s
made to the United War Work fund
last fall. Many of the subscriptions
remain unpaid in York county. It is
true that the war is over and the com- j(
pelling necessity for this money is not c
as great as when the money was asked s
for. That, however, has nothing to f
do with the obligations resting upon v
the subscribers. Every man and woman
who subscribed to this fund is r
morally bound to pay the subscription,
and those who fail or neglect to pay
are as much dishonored as those who ,
fail to pay an obligation given for
value received. It was a credit to the
people to subscribe as liberally as they
did subscribe; but in the case of those
who fail to pay the credit automatic
c&Uy changes to dishonor.
As to whether car fare from Camp
Jackson to Columbia Is 5 or 10 cents
is a matter of no concern to us. We
are inclined to think that 10 cents
would be nearer right than 5 cents;
but that is not the question. Here
was a solemn commercial agreement
presumably fe the best of good faith
by both parties. The camp was estnt.iiofeAsi

failed to live up to its part of the
agreement, giving as Its reason that it
had made a bad trade. The house
sought to compel compliance, and
the senato apparently concurred;
but hi view of developments there is
ground for suspicion that this concurrence
was not in good faith. There
could very easily have been an understanding
by which the governor was
to hold the bill up until after the campaign
was over and then veto it.
Anyhow, that is what happened.
The Greenville Piedmont announc

Rion McKissick, editor of the Greenville

stock of the paper, and would
control its news and editorial policy,
while George R. Koester, former editor
and owner, would continue as business
manager. It was announced not
long ago that Mr. Peace, for some time
publisher of the Greenville News, had
acquired a controlling interest in that
paper. Just what it all means, we do
not know; but we have reason to think
that the truth of the matter is that
both papers have passed under the
same ownership?that while Mr. Peace,
as holder of the common stock of the

and that Mr. McKissick of the Q

Of course, if congress should com- en

an Instead of imaginary cotton, there co
. ould bo no sales of real cotton ex- ^
ept in the south, unaer me present, i^j,
onditlon, when a mill buys a thou-1 of
and bales of cotton from a factor, | he
pecifying the grade, the factor hedges 1
iy buying the thousand bales of cotton
n the New York exchange with no
;rade specified. The man who sells ni:
ho cotton to the factor simply bets ^
rhat the price will be on delivery day
jid wins or loses according to the dif- Y<
erence in price between sell time and ch
lelivery time. The factor, if he is en- de
.aged in a legitimate transaction, will
ell say 1,000 bales of cotton at 500 ex
toints, or five cents a pound above the fo
xchange quotation. He calculates on to:
?uying the actual cotton at 2 or 3 cents re;
, pound above the exchange quotation nb
.nd making the profit out of the dif- wc
erence. No factor at the present it
ime, however, would dare obligate to:
limself to buy and deliver actual coton
on any such basis, for they all Y<
mow that such a thing is impossible, tw
Jut suppose the law provided that the of
troker on the New York exchange ca
nust sell only actual cotton on speci- sei
led grade, then things would be dif- wt
erent. The New York and New Or- '
eans exchange prices would neces- ex
arily have to be on a basis of actual co

The proposed constitution or tne
eague of nations, as read to the peace ac
onference in Paris by President Wil- cl?
on last Friday, is published on the in|
Irst page of today's issue of The York- c1'
ille Enquirer.
The draft was not presented as a fl- w<
lal or completed document; but for s0
he consideration of the conference 1)0
nd of the world before its adoption.
[*he conference is to have the right to fo
liscuss this document section by sec- ^
ion and adopt or reject it as a whole.
Amendments are possible, but not P?
irobable; but the great commission ar
hat prepared the document is suppos- &
id to have given thorough considera- su
ion to every important principle and th
ipeciflcation that has been suggested he
>y anybody at any time, and when the
natter comes up for ratification the
irobability is that all the reasons that cx
lave governed the commission will ba
fovern the conference as a whole. nc
Among the propositions that some ur
jreat thiqkers have held as essential; <le
iut which have not been incorporated, Ia
ire two that appear on their face to be
/ery necessary. 1. A representative a
. onference of nations to assemble at to
itated intervals to consider the state of P?
.he world generally and specific na- he
ional complaints generally. 2. An in- a
ernational army, made up of soldiers ^
>f all nations, each nation contributng
a specified number of men in ac- 1)1
:ordance with what might be consid- r?
;red a Just proportion for each. But ,lr
:hese things, the great commission has sr
lot considered necessary. hc
N'aturally and obviously, there is no le)
imit to the number of specifications ac
hat could be added to this remarkable nc
locument the greatest thing of the Pr
cind that has evtr been presented to J?1
nankind through purely human agen- ,n'
:y but these things are not nearly so ~r
mportant as is the agreement of the
lations of the world to the principles hi
nvolved- ta
The greatest previous document in l'*1
he history of the mankind, no doubt su
s the American declaration of inde)endence,
and the constitution of the ur
tations proposes to do for the people
if the world what the American decla- no
ation of independence has done and is pr
loing for the people of the United
States. ..
With the people of a stricken world
riving hearty assent to this great docu- Inl
nent to begin with, there is little need th
or a world supreme court to declare
he meaning of the various provisions
f this charter of human liberty or of 1111
vorld army to enforce the decrees of
ch a court.
Having read the constitution of the
igue of nations to the conference,
esident Wilson and party boarded
a George Washington at Brest on
nday and are now on their way to
nerica. It is the expectation of the
esident to arrive in Boston on Febary
25 and deliver an address on the
>rk performed by the peace confer*
ce, and on February 26 he will dine
th members of the senate and house
mmittees on foreign relations at the
hite House. Immediately thereafter
perhaps the next day?he expects to
scuss the constitution of the league
nations before a joint session of the
use and senate section by section.
Cotton on Specified Grades.
Among the farmers who are beginng
to understand the matter, there
a growing sentiment in favor of deluding
of congress that the New
>rk and New Orleans cotton exarges
be required to restrict their
alings in cotton to specified grades.
As matters have always stood, the
changes, do not pretend to provide
r dealing in specific grades of cotn;
but simply in cotton, and such
al cotton as they actually deal in is
solutely fit for nothing else in the
>rld other than the thing for which
is used fixing the price of real cotn
far below the value of the same.
For instance, there is now in New
>rk, held among the gamblers, some
o or three hundred thousand bales
dog tail stuff which, althougn ocslonally
It may change ownership,
Idom if ever changes even-from one
irehouse to another.
The ostensible office of the cotton
change is to establish the price of
tton on a basis of supply and demd,
and while it really docs excise
a most tremendous influence in
Lablishlng the price of cotton, it can1
be justly credited with depending
any considerable extent on the reJon
of supply and demand. In
>st of its methods it Is too devious
r the comprehension of, the ordinary
^man, or for anybody else, for that
itter except the sharpest of the
arps among its membership.
It is a rare thing that any of the
ople who buy and sell future conicts
for the public have anything
latever to do with actual cotton,
icy are not supposed to gamble; but
eir only business is supposed to be
execute commissions in the buying
-> ?iiinir nf mntracts for people
U OC1IIII5 v?
10 are doing the actual gambling.
Presumably the office of the exanges
is to facilitate transactions
tween spinners, cotton merchants
d farmers; but really and truly this
viously legitimate function is a
yth, and actually the cotton exanges
perform about the same office
relation to gamblers in cotton that
ro dealer performs in relation to
mblers in money.
It in an absolute fact that the cotton
inner cannot buy his cotton on the
2W York exchange. He can do it in
eory. but that is all because the New
>rk exchange does not deal in cotton
at the spinner can use.
For instance, suppose a spinner
ould buy one thousand bales of cotn
from a broker on the exchange, on
ntract fo*- future use. Right now
e exchange price is about 22 cents a
iund, and that is the price at which
e broker would place the order of
e spinner. The order is placed, say
r May delivery. On the 25th of
[>ril, the spinner must demand th#
tton, and the broker, or rather the
pn from whom the broker is suppos-'
to have bought, has until the last
,y of May in which to get it up.
lere has been no specification of
ades, however. The seller would
>t think of putting himself into that
nd of snap. So when the time comes
r settlement, the 25th of April so far
the sDlnner is concerned, it is
Teed that the difference be paid in
sh the difference in the exchange
lotations on the day of sale and the
,y of settlement. The spinner, even
ough he really wanted cotton, is
reed to this alternative for the reason
at otherwise he would be loaded with
tton that could not get rid of expt
by putting it off on some other
cker like himself.
In order to cure this situation, Senar
Smith not long ago introduced a
11 which bill will probably never
ss, requiring the exchango to
a.ke deliveries on a basis of five
ades, two above middling and two
low middling.
The enactment of such a law would
lp; but it does not go far enough.
There are between twenty and thirdiflferent
grades of cotton for the
Dment we do not remember the ex*
1 nf ronrse the ex
l numuci w>u v.
ange would be prohibited from dealer
in all the grades that are not injded
in the Smith specifications.
The main thing that the Smith bill
juld do would be to outlaw that ablutely
worthless trash that is now
ing used for gambling purposes; but
viously It would leave the way open
r the accumulation of other cotton
at would serve the same purpose.
But if congress would require the
.trons of the exchange to buy, sell
id deliver actual cotton on specific
ndes. the present outrageously ab
rd condition would be cured, and
c exchanges would become real
lps both to the cotton spinners and
e cotton producers.
The spinner would go to the cotton
change with an order for 1,000
.lee of cotton of specified grade and
i man on the exchange would dare
idcrtake the execution of such an orr
unless he knew where he could
V his hands on the actual cotton.
Suppose, for instance right now
broker should sell 1,000 bales of cot n
at today's price of about 22 cents a
iund for April delivery, where would
> get the cotton for less than 30 cents
pound, if indeed he could get it at
at?
In the cotton convention in Columa
last week there was proposed a
solution to endorse the Smith bill to
nit trading on the exchanges to five
^ecified grades, and the convention
ing in a humor to do whatever the
fiders thought ought to be done,
lopted the resolution at once; but
>t until after a suave factor, who
ofessed full sympathy with the obr-t
soucht had secured an amend
rnt that included "tinges" among the
ades that could be specified.
The word "tinges" can very probay
be construed to let in all the dog
il cotton that Is now serving as the
sis of the condition the Smith bill Is
pposed to be trying to cure.
The alleged reason of the holding
> of the Smith bill in Congress just
>w is the objection of western cotton
oducers who say that they have
rge quantities of low grade cotton
e sale of which would be seriously
terferred with; but to the layman
is looks like a very flimsy pretext:
cause to the layman it would seem
at if the exchange^ were required to '
deal only In specified grades and all
prudes were included, this low grade
cotton referred to could be sold on its
merits for what it is really worth as
readily as middling or any other better
grade.
AN IMPORTANT LAW.
Bill Relating to Treatment of Venereal
Diseaaes.
What was known as the McAdams
bill to require physicians to report
cases of venereal diseases under treatment,
and to isolate persons affected
Vith such diseases, has passed both
houses and has been signed by the governor.
The bill was amended by the senate
so as to forbid the divulging of names
of persons treated, which names, after
three or six months' warning should
be recorded in the office of the clerk
of the court, or more properly in the
office of the probate judge.
Sections 4 and 5 of the law are of
very great importance, and if these
sections are honestly and faithfully enforced
the result will be of untold benefit
to the present generation as well
as to future generations.
The text of the law is as follows:
Section 1. Syphilis, gonorrhea and
chancroil hereinafter designated as
venereal disease, are hereby declared
to be contagious, infectious, communicable
and dangerous to the public
health. It shall be unlawful for any
one infected with these diseases or any

Gaffney, February 14: On the 24th
of last month, Mrs. A. C. Wilkinson,
who resides on East Frederick street,
in Gaffney, missed from her residence
a valuable red fox fur. She advertised
the loss and requested the police to
keep a lookout for the missing article
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Wilkinson
was Informed that a woman who g ive
her name as Dixie Dalton, and who
has been in Gaffney for some days engaffed
in selling Bibles, was seen'with
a fur which corresponded with the one
which she had lost. Mr. Wilkerson at
once had a warrant issued by one ol
the local magistrates and when the officer
made the arrest at a local hotel
the fur was found in her room. When
brought into court the woman denied
bitterly that she had stolen the artit

In Is'ew York and that she could
prove that she had worn it at Bessemer
City and other places- When she
was told that she would be required to
give bond in the sum of $200 or go to
jail, she told Mrs. Wilkinson that she
would give qp the article, which that
lady had positively identified as her
property. Mr. Wilkinson then agreed
that she should be released upon her
own recognizance for her appearanc
on the 20th, which would give her an
opportunity to secure the proof that
she did not steal the fur. As soon as
it became known that the woman had
been arrested and released, another
warrant was issued by another magisA???hon

When the arresting officer searched
her room he found concealed therein
various pieces of lace, embroidery
and pictures which, it is alleged, had
been taken from Gaffney people since
she had been in the town. She spent
last night in Jail, and this morning the
magistrate tried the case against her
and imposed a fine of $10, which she
could not pay and she is now in jail.
In the meantime she will be held for
court on the charge of grand larceny,
as Mrs. Wilkinson values her fur at
$50.
? Columbia, February 15: The Thirtieth
division's casualties amounted to
approximately 49 per cent, according
to a letter from Major J. Shapter Caldwell,
formerly assistant adjutant general
of South Carolina, to W. W.
Moore, the adjutant general, received
Beveral days ago. Major Caldwell is
the adjutant of the "Old Hickory" division.
The Thirtieth division was
stationed at Eallou, France, on January
^3, the date the letter was written.
The letter, which is fujl of interesting
gossip relative to the division and the
officers , said that Colonel McCully,
who trained the 118th infantry (the
old South Carolina national guard infantry)
at Camp Sevier, Greenville, and
who was relieved of his command in
Belgium, is again in command of the
regiment.
? By a vote of 21 to 18 the senate on
last Thursday sustained Governor
Manning's veto of the 5 cents fare
vm otnpv nf this hill is that the
UUI. AIIV ~ - ?...w _
street car people voluntarily agreed to
carry soldiers for five cents each way
between Columbia and Camp Jackscn,
on condition of the location of the
camp at that place. After the location
of the camp the railroad charged 10
cents. The house and senate both
passed a bill requiring the railroad to
live up to its contract. The governor,
waiting until the convening of the
next session, vetoed the bill. The
house promptly passed the bill over the
governor's veto 101 to 3. The matter
came to a vote in the senate only last
Thursday arid that body voted to back
the governor. Senator Bramguard
voted with the minority against sustaining
the governor's veto.

HERE AND THERE ?
This story was told to Here and t'<
There a few days ago by a prominent ti<
doctor, who vouches for the truth of In
it: "He was one of those 'proper* talk- co
ing kind of negroes, and sent for me to lli
rescribe for his wife. When I asked
Im about the symptoms and what had
sen done, he said: 'I give her a dose
J oil; but she's still been cautious
sostive), and she's been imagination
nagnesia) eating ever since.'"
While the paragraph in a recent isle
of The Enquirer relative to the laar
situation in York county, was corset
aa far as it went, it is not to be
iken as fully describing conditions.
: is a fact that labor is more plenttil
than at this time last year; there
re more people looking for work: but
ill there are people who are looking
>r desirable renters, and some of the
irms that are hunting renters are
ery desirable farms too. But also
lere are land owners who have not
nly not rented their farms; but are
ot especially particular about doing
j. For instance, W. A. Aycock of
le McConnellsville section, said a few
ova a cm "Vn T Viava nnt srnt na much

ibor as I could have used; but maybe
is my fault, because I have not been

luch cotton as I need and it will not
urt my land to lie out anyway."
It was the prettiest Sunday of the
ear, so far, was last Sunday. The day
tarted out clear and cool, with a pretf
brisk wind somewhat suggestive of
[arch blowing, and not much invitaon
during the morning to come out;
ut later during the day it grew warmr
instead of cooler, and remained
lear, the automobiles began to roll,
lost of the cars appearing throughut
the morning were those going to
nd from church; but in the afternoon,
le Joy riders began to come in evience.
They appeared on the streets
nd roads gradually; but in steadily
lcreaslng numbers until along four
nd five o'clock they were rolling
irough the streets of YorkviUe in a
teady stream, some going one way
nd some another, some proceeding in
moderate pace and some straining
le speed limit, some carrying all men.
ime carrying couples, young men and
oung women and some carrying famies.
The conditions were not altoether
favorable for automobiling.
hings were all right overhead; but
fie roads are still suffering from the
ffects of winter rains and lack of propr
attention.. It Is still something of
trial to drive over most of them;
ut nevertheless tne entnusiasuc auimoblllsts
were unable to hold in any
inger and they rode anyway. It was
11 an earnest of what the situation is

eautlful Sunday afternoon when it
rill seem that there Is no other way

leasantly or more healthfully. There
rill be a wonderful vogue of autolobiling
