Straps and facts. n a The first division of the Thirtieth ? division composed of Tennessee, North h Carolina and Soutl Carolina troops, is . due at Newport News, March 3, aboard t the battleship Michigan, which sailed ^ from Brest February 18, according to a official information available in Washington. The unit is the One Hundred w and Fifth Trench Mortar battery, com- r posed of six officers and 181 men. The j, battery will be assigned to three camps ^ for demobilization as follows: Camp j 8evler, South Carolina, 69 men: Camp j Gordon. Ga five officers and 67 men; t Camp Lee, Va., one officer and 45 men. t Tho Michigan also brings casual com- , panies 1205 (Virginia) and 267 (Geor- ? rbiV ? Business men of Chicago are taking 't steps to defend from repeal the daylight saving law. The Chicago association of commerce was a pioneer in the movement for daylight saying, and 1 now. In the possibility of its loss, has oalled on chambers of commerce in II- linols, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin to co-operate for the protection of the law. The Chicago association has alpo sent the following telegram to Illinois senators and rep- , resentatives in congress from the ! northern part of the state: The prac- J tlc&l result of actual operation of the daylight saving law has demonstrated j its universal satisfaction and benefit to all classes of citizens, workers, and wage earners. The opportunities for outdoors recreation and enjoyment at the end of the day are greater than the possible disadvantages. We are . convinced the agricultural Appropria- tlon bill rider to repeal the law is unsound, and we protest against lte en- ^ actment" ? The Georgia law organizing grand 1 juries to inspect private schools, orphanages, convents, monasteries and other eleemosynary and charitable in- v stitutions was held constitutional by the state supreme court. By its de- 8 cision the final state court upheld the c judgment of a Chatham county superior court in fining Sister Felicitas of the convent of the Franciscan sisters in Savannah for contempt or court.. ? The case arose in October, 1917, after t sister Fellcitas, in charge of the con- , vent, failed to obey an order from the court for such an inspection. In the c case which was regarded as a test of d the constitutionality of the law, the t defense argued that the law did not apply to the convent and also argued that it was unconstitutional on numerous other grounds. The supreme j court held the law is constitutional in all respects except in one section re- c quiring a grand jury to return a spe- t! ciai presentment against the person y in charge of an institution before it j. is inspected. But this section may be segregated from the act without im- * pairing the law as a whole, the court it added. The senate banking committee by a strict party vote of 9 to 4, has decided to recommend the confirmation of the nomimation of John Skelton ? Williams to succeed himself, as comp- o trailer of the currency. Before this ^ vote was taken the committee voted five to three on a party division to 8 close hearings on the nomination. The n republican opposition promised to con- s tinue when the nomination is considered by the senate in executive session, and although the Democrats plan a to urge confirmation before congress adjourns. Republican leaders declare thev will vigorously oppose favorable action. Senator Reed Inserted In the o record a letter alleged to have been c written by Wade Cooper, president of a Washington bank to a banker in Columbia, S. C., on February 19. saying. S "I think we have our controller friend ^ beaten," If a little more activity could . be had against him, adding he did not bslleve that Williams had many friends, h Senator Reed read the letter in rebul- o tal to the testimony of Cooper, who ? said he was acting alone in the Williams opposition so far as newspaper 8 propaganda was concerned and that he had numerous letters from bankers who protested against the renomina- 0 tion. A message from President Wilson announcng his approval of 28 bills P and joint resolutions passed by con- a gress and accumulated during his ab- ? sence overseas was the signal for a demonstration in the house Tuesday P afternoon. When the White House p messenger was announced Democratic s members started applauding and cheering and many Republicans joined in 8 several minutes. Of the bills signed v by the president the most important were the war revenue measure and the . bill appropriating $100,000,000 for European food relief. Among them were the 4 measure granting a pension to Mrs. h Theodore Roosevelt, the invalid pen- v sion bill and the bill to extend the provisions of the homestead law touching P creau lor ine penuu ui cuuouuvuv ?.v * soldiers, sailors, marines, nurses and n officers who served on the Mexican border or in the world war. Most of 1 the bills related to public buildings or n projects such as extension of time for j, the construction of bridges across navigable stream. The invalid pension bill was also signed by the president Oth- ' er bills approved Included one extending the time for the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi River above New Orleans or for the a construction of a tunnel in lieu of a \ bridge. k ? Any beverage containing more than one-half of 1 per cent, alcohol would be banned by the war time prohibition v act effective next July 1, under a F measure approved by the house Judi- q clary committee to make the act ^ effective. Tho committee's definition 11 of Intoxicating liquor was written in v the bill as follows: "The words beer, tl wine or other intoxicating malt or vinous liquors in the war prohibition act shall 08 construed as any out ? liquor which contains in excess of one- n half of 1 per cent of alcohol." Enforce- g ment of the war time prohibition law, which continues in effect until after demobilization, is placed with the internal revenue bureau by the bill j, framed by the committee. Agents of the bureau would investigate violations c of the law and prosecutions would be conducted by United States district s attorneys. Any place where liquor is manufactured or sold would be de- c clared a public nuisance Bubjoct to C abatement and its operators subject to r fine and imprisonment as guilty of a misdemeanor. Property which owners knowingly permit to be used for 6 violating the law would be subject to t a lien for fine and cost of cases result- 8 Ing from the prosecution. General Pershing has notified the J war department that divisions now in ' the American expeditionary forces ex- a cepting those with regular army des<o~,a?<nno wmilfl he returned to the IglimiVUO ?? United States In the order of the arrival of their respective divisional headquarters In France. This was interpreted as meaning that all divisions except the First. Second. Third, Fourth. Fifth, Sixth and Seventh would be returned as shipping was available. Combat troops not assigned to divisions will be returned in the order in which their services can be spared and a similar policy has been adopted regarding service of supply troops except that as far as possible these also will be returned in the order of arrival in France. General Pershing said he estimated the movement of troops, based on tonnage known to be available and on the German shipping soon to become available, as follows: March, 212,000; April, 221,000; May. 248,000; June. 207,000. The general said that based on these estimates divisions would be returned ? in the following order: March Twenty-seventh, Thirtieth. Eightyfifth. Thirty-seventh and Ninty-flrst; April. Twenty-sixth, Eighty-third, i Eighty-second, Thirty-fifth and Forty- r second; May, Thirty-second, Twenty- : second, Thirty-third, Eightieth and Seventy-eighth; June, Eighty-seventh, ? Nintieth. Twenty-ninth and Seventy- 1 Representatives from the cotton ( growing states were successful in their effort tonight to write an amendment 1 into the sundry civil bill, designed to > remove all embargoes placed by the < war trade board against cotton export shipments. The amendment, including the amendment, now goes to I the senate. Although designed primar- t lly to affect cotton shipments, the < amendment applies to all American goods exported to foreign countries. c The amendment prepared at a confer- " enee of southern representatives, was j offered in the house by Representative . Bland of Georgia, and afterward 1 amended on motion of Representa-' S Ive Steagall of Alabama, so that ottonseed and peanut oil also would j, ot be subject to embargo. The mendment was offered while the ouse, in committee of the whole, was I onsidering an item of the sundry civil t ill reappropriating for the war board , he unexpended balance of approprialons granted last year for continuing. 8 ts operation. Continuance of the r gency for a part of the next iscal t ear may be necessary. It was said y members of the appropriations comnittee, who framed the sundry civil t ?ill. Funds, it was added, also v.-ould t >e necessary for the agency to settle v ts accounts. The reappropriation tern was approved after adoption of % he Bland amendment which directs ? hat no part of the appropriation bill t VU1 De avauaoie unless an emDargoea ire lifted.

Of course the league v rill be accepted sooner or later; but n T the folks who are trying to stand in he way know what is good for them * t will be accepted sooner. > P It seems to have come out very clearly '' ow that Crown Prince Rupprecht of iavaria, was behind the assassination ^ f Premier Eisner of Munich the other ^ ay. Nothing more natural. In the truggle for power socialists t.ssassiate royalists and royalists assassinate & ocialists. In the one case, it is a ^ rime and in the other it is a virtue, o nd there you are. . . t] President Wilson told the members 8 f the congressional foreign relations v ommittee at the White House dinner y Wednesday night, that if the United p tates fails to enter the League of N'a- ? Ions, chaos and disorder will prevail ij hroughout the world. There is very b ittle reason to believe that the views 8 f the Republican mefnbers opposed to ? he league constitution, have under- s one any change. n * * P Hon. John L. McLaurin is to speak y n the cotton question at unesterneia t oday by special invitation. He pro- g >oses to tell the people something bout the actual value of so-called a low grades" of cotton, and also he ex- v iects to tell them the exact why of the n iresent situation- There will be a f ummary of his address in the next is- h ue of The Enquirer and it will be irorth reading. n m c We have no reports yet as to wheth- n r the farmers have begun to report ? logs to the bankers and others on the g iasis of the co-operative marketing ^ lan outlined in the last issue of The c Inquirer. We have no definite infor- j nation as to how many, if tny hogs, ? he farmers have to spare; but we do e ,ot mind saying that this co-operative ^ lea is a most excellent one, which ? arries promise of great benefit to this s .'hole section. n Wo would like to Bee that case gainst Engelken probed to the bottom. Ve are not at all satisfied that Engel- ^ en was not the victim of a conspircy on the part of Columb a people ? rho sought to get the control of the 'arm Loan bank in Columbia. It is J T uite possible that the charges of disoyalty that were made against him . fere for no other purpose than to fur- 11 her the ends of the conspirators. But 3 f course, if fengelkin was really guilty s charged he should take the punishlent. The thing should certainly not w tand as it is. ^ The treasury department reported * ast week that the big issue of treasury ^ ertiflcates sold in anticipation of the o Victory loan had been largely over- . cribed and that the oversubscriptions ame entirely from New York, Boston, ^ Chicago and other points in the east, ^ lorth and west. Exactly. If the south hould get for her cotton crop what ihe is entitled to those oversubscrip- n ions would have come from the south, a tnd until the south makes the world 1 jay a fair price for her cotton crop a here will be no oversubscription to mything from the south. r ~~ s Clemson college a few days ago sent r iut a telegraphic report giving the a uling prices of hogs in the Richmond v narket at from $15 to $15 per hun- y I red pounds. This was the regular ^ narket quotation for the animals on r dot. The top price was foi "hard" or :orn fed hogs, weighing J75 pounds t tnd upward, and the lower prices were ^ or "lights" (less than 175 pounds), v ind "soft" hogs, that had not been ] inished off on corn. Tho price of { :ourse, is for hogs on foot in Rich- v nond, and of course it is understood c hat the price fluctuates; but now the r narket is quite strong because of the c sxtraordinary demand for food from j ibroad. ? t If the south holds to the cotton that f ???.

That ought to be plain to < sverybody. The only way to get a fair ] jrice for the cotton on hand is to plant ( rery little more. People wl o now have t rotton on hand will do well to plant i 10 more. Of course, many of these s leople will resent this suggestion with } he querry, "Well, if we don't plant rotton what are we going to do?" The ? >nly answer that we can give is that \ 'Anything, or nothing is better than s ilanting more cotton," and those peo- t >le who go ahead with it anyway are :oing to find out that we are correct, t i Our advice to every Individual who < las a Liberty bond or a war savings ertiflcate is to hold on to it as long as >ossible.

Great Britain is Just now confronted vith the most serious crisis the counry has known since the darkest days i )f the war, because of the dissatisfac- 1 ion of the coal miners of the country vith wages, hours of labor and hous- j ng conditions, and the backing they 1 ire getting from the transport workers ! ind railway union, whose organlzaions, together with the coal miners, I orm a triple alliance for the enforce- 1 nent of the demands of labor. Pre- , nier Lloyd George is pressing on the , touse of commons a bill to provide for t , statutory commission to look after he grievance of the coal miners and , le does not hesitate to say that unless 1 omething is done there will be civil ( var in England of a most disastrous j lature. In his speeches, the premier , las set forth the situation in a manner 1 hat makes things look very gloomy, j ecause upon the satisfaction of the liners depends the manufactures, ommerce, food supply and even the ' lealth of England. The coal miners J re representing that they positively | annot live in reasonable comfort un- i er the conditions now existing, and ( Twonf anoVi" wapps and hours as rill enable coal miners to have as auch satisfaction in life as is afforded 0 workers in other lines, else they are rilling to sink the ship. The premier ias set forth a situation to the purort that as matters now stand capital 1 realizing only one shilling or a little nore than twenty-flve cents a ton roflt on coal and that the owners of he mines are getting royalties of only alf a shilling a ton. The cost of coal t the mouth of the mine in England s now said to be seventeen shillings gainst only eleven shillings in the United States, and if the wage and ther demands of the British miners hould be granted, the cost of coal at he mOuth of the mine would be 26 hillings, leaving England at a disadantage of eight or ten shillings, even rithout allowance for royalties and roflts to capital. The premier states hat British dealers have already lost irge orders in Brazil and Argentine imnrlMn nhtlitv to Under c^auac v* miiviiVMK ell, and the seriousness of this is fur- i her emphasized by the fact that the < hips which carry coal to the countries ] amed bring back meat and other food , iroducts for the miners and for other 1 workmen. The premier pointed out 1 hat if Great Britain's coal trade is de- j troyed there will be a great increase < o the cost of food as well as coal on 1 11 the people and of course the results j /ill be immediately felt in all lines of manufacture. The coal miners, in the s ull understanding of all these things ( iave declared for the strike by a vote j f 611,998 against 104,997, and they i mean to stand for their demands at all ost. Their representatives In parliament are demanding the nationaliza- < ion of the coal mines; that is that the i overnment own the property, and if it ' e necessary to put down the price of j oal in order to meet competition in ) irazil or elsewhere let it be done at < he expense of the whole nation, rath- j r than at the expense of the miners ( rho are digging the coal. Underlying < he fight, of course, is the issue of Bol hevism, pure and simple, except that \ obody is calling it thatSoldiers' Letters. < 1 We are in frequent receipt of let- ? jrs from parents or brothers or sisters < f soldiers abroad making inquiry as to J he conditions under which letters i rom such soldiers will be published in i 'he Enquirer, etc. It is not uncommon to have people J lquire what we charge for printing ] uch letters, etc., and we are referring 3 5 the subject because we have reason ' m know that there are many people j ;ho would appreciate information. ] First let us say that there is nothing ( he editor of this paper likes better ] han to please and accommodate the ] aper's readers, and there is nothing < n reason that he would not do for all j f them as a whole or any one of them t ndividually. 1 But let it be understood that the ed- j Lor cannot print things either to please , limself or any other individual. In ^ verything he prints he must consider lot so much the desire or plersure of j ny particular individual or any par- , icular family; but so far as possible i 11 the readers of the paper. ] Amongst the most interesting and acceptable matter we have printed in nany months has been the letters of oldiers in France; but probably it ( lever occurs to the reader that where.s there seemed to be something worth ; vhile in the letters he has read, there las been laid aside many other letters vhich for one reason or another, have ] lot been printed. I Some of these letters although of ] remendous interest to the people for vhoin they were especially written. . vould not be of any interest to the pub ic. Other contain matter that would be julte, readable after having been re- ! vritten and revised, but in the opinion if the cidtor the time required for such j ewriting and reversion can be employ- 1 d to better advantage in some other inc. Certainly we like to print these leters and certainly there is no charge 1 or printing them. On the contrary, ' vhere a letter is really usable, we feel ; nore like paying for it than charging 1 or it; but we would not charge for it 1 inrlnr nnv plrpiimctnnens Rpjillv ' * ] vorth while letters well written, gen rally interesting letters like those of i Dr. McConnell, Captain Dickson, young ' Dood, Henry, Pincher and others %re , he exception rather than the rule, and mless the letters come up to some ' tuch standard our readers will want to enow why we are imposing on them. Any one who has letters to submit, i ind who desires to submit them, is in- j dted to do so; but we desire that an luch act in full knowledge of the con- i litions, which are these: Since it is the editor who has to bear , he responsibility of the approval or j disapproval of the readers of his paper, ] It must be left with him to decide whether or not the letter is likely to meet with the approval of those read- ^ ers, because with the publication of a few dull letters people will simply quit b reading any of them. ^ If the sender of a letter wants it returned, in case it is not used, he must y enclose stamps for the purpose, and If he desires the return of the copy after It has been printed, he should know that he simply cannot get itAfter the contents of any manuscript of whatever nature has been put 1 in type, the manuscript itself belongs | *- -* h io me pniiici. So people who have original letters that they would like to keep even aft- S er their publication, should send not the originals; but copies to the printer. \ REASON FOR REDUCTION. C r Senator Smith Presents Logic Based on Figures. s Requested by the South Carolina state commission to send a message to ^ all cotton planters In the state telling them why they must meet on Friday, February 28, "Pledge Reduction Day," C and pledge themselves to reduce the cotton acreage this year, Senator E. D. v Smith has issued a strong statement bearing on the situation- What he says is not only applicable to South Caro- y Una but to all other cotton producing sections, and is as follows: "In all the vears that the south has ^ been fighting for a fair deal for cotton circumstances were never mofe favor- p a.ble for a final victory than now. There may be and are temporary conditions that naturally in some degree mitigate against the price of cotton. J There are and have been always powerful organized efforts to demoralize p the markets and to control the price for interests hostile to the south, but in spite of every obstacle, in spite of all J the organized efforts arrayed against cotton the following facts should K bearten every man enlisted in the south's behalf: "Government flgures'show that for p 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918 the consumption of American cotton by the world far outstripped production so R that the supply of cotton now on hand is totally inadequate to meet the needs >f the world. In spite of the fight that L s being made, now that peace has :onrt; to demoralize and depress the C price of cotton, if the organized south will stand firm the reasonable price Cor which they are standing must obtain. The enemy countries that consumed practically 3,000,000 bales of :otton previous to the war are now cut 8( jn rrom our maricet. ine remmnucr u )f the world consumed from 1,500,000 :o 2,000,000 bales more cotton per year ?lnce 1915 than America produced. a "It Is inevitable therefore that with- g n a comparatively Bhort time these countries must be opened up and this will add from 2,000,000 to 2,600,000 c bales more demand for cotton while :he supply now is not sufficient to meet :he demands of the other countries. 8 "Everything is seized upon by the ti jnemies of cotton as an excuse to de- f, press its price, while we of the south Pave every reason in the world to demand that the price that we are ask- n ng shall be given. The answer to e ihose who are opposed to us is to be in j, leeds, not words, and those deeds jhould consist in holding what cotton we have and absolutely refusing to plant more than two-thirds of last pear's acreage and not to use on the educed acreage fertilizer in excess of c :hat used per acre last year. b 'The prosperity of the south, her de- _ /elopment and progress, the success of ;ach farmer and every business enter- a prise depend upon the determination b with which we go into this fight. We t] will never have aaain such an oppor- _ :unity aa the present to demonstrate e :he approximate value of a pound of k :otton. Since the War Between the States, the south has been too poor jven to try to tind out what is the real V ntrinsic value of a pound of cotton, a Thank God we are in position now to j( ind out if we stand firm. . "I hope every farmer and every southern man will enlist in this army t\ >f righteousness until we win for the tl oppressed, overridden south the same jlortous victory that has been won for Lhe cause of righteousness in Europe." , m , c The State, Tuesday: The New York 8 system of inspection of weights and p raeasures which will provide for the V jmployment of an inspector is to be es- ri ployment of an inspector is to be es- p ^.blished in South Carolina immediatey.

[t was not long until there was infornation that pointed to the guilt of 1< Thompson and Dark. Dark, aged 70, n iad been janitor for close to twenty rears, and Thompson had been workng about the courthouse for about a rear. He made a confession ia which le charged the actual robbery against Dark, but admitted that he had re- n :eived a part of the stolen money. The rault, it appears, was of brick, and ibout four feet through. The negroes 'J lad gone into it by digging the bricks jut with a poker and a nail puller and p rther such tools. Of the stolen money d .he sum of $10,485 was recovered from si i closet under a stairway and $2,015 J was recovered from a basement in the a home of J. Frost Walker, where one of ? the negroes was living. Also $10 was S recovered from Birdie Walker, a negro woman, to whom it had been given by jj Thompson. Thompson, however, said ;( the woman had nothing to do with the ? burglary. Both Dark and Thompson j? were committed to jail. Much of the 0 money they made way with is still d missing. j J CLOVER CULLINGS. ? P Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. $ Clover, S. C., Feb. 26, 1919. Senator James E.

L few weeks ago a negro named Jim farber was arrested in Yorkville for tealing potatoes, and was sent to the haingang for sixty days. In going hrough the negro's effects for other tolen goods, the sheriff found the . rist watch and the signet ring. He rrote the negro as to whether he had tolen them or whether if they were is would he sell them. The negro enied having any such property in is possession; but said that if he had nything of the kind, of course he /onid be triad to sell. The sheriff is ertain that the articles have been tolen, but he has no idea as to who heir possible owner may be. Both he wrist watch and the ring appear 3 be new and unused.
