Scraps and .facts. , f _; ? As a result of a resolution by the E conference of weights and measures Officials recently held In Washington. ' Thomas P. Gore, United States senator from Oklahoma, has introduced a bill in the senate "to amend the pure food law, approved March 3, 1913, so as to include wrapped meats enclosed In paper of other materials as prepared by manufacturers thereof for sale." This is intended to bring wrapped ham and bacon, now included, into the same category and subject to the ~*~tiintinns as other "package" | Bttuie ic6u.?.. foods which are compelled by law to | j? print the net contents on the outside p of the package. Hitherto, the packjf ers have succeeded in defeating atI tempts to bring wrapped meats under this ruling and consumers have had to pay for paper and burlap at the same price as for the meat Itself. ? The conditions of the cotton crop ITf was 75.6 per cent of a normal on May 25 the department of agriculture announced last Thursda- in its first report of the season. No estimate of the area planted was made. That will be announced in July. Conditions by states follow: Virginia 89; North Carolina 85: South Carolina 78: Georgia 81; Florida 75; Alabama 78; Mississippi 73; Louisiana 74; Texas 76; Arkansas 68; Tennessee 64; Missouri 70; Oklahoma 65; California 91; Arizona ?; New Mexico ?. The agricultural department's first cotton condition report of the season issued at 11 A. M.. today was awaited with keen interest I by the cotton industry as an authoritative indication of the prospects of this year's crop. Private estimates of the condition have ranged from 72.3 to 77.6 per ceht of a normal, with the majority from 77.5 per cent upward. The condition of the crop last year on May 25 was 82.3 per cent of normal, while in 1917 it was 69.5 and in 1916 it was 77.1. The ten year May 25 average r condition is 79.2. No estimate of the 1 average of the acreage planted will be made by the department of agricul" * * q nrp _ ture until tbe Jury repun. ?... age figures have been the source of I much speculation in view of the efforts throughout the south for a reduction of the plantings. Unofficial estimates of the planted area have placed the reduction around 10 and 12 per cent. r f ? Following is a summary of the conditions of peace as presented to the Austrian plenipotentiaries at St. Ger( maln-En-Laye last Thursday. The conditions of peace of the Allied and [ associated powers, with the exception of military, reparations, financial and ? certain boundary clauses, were handied to the Austrian peace delegates at St. Germain today. Those clauses - which are not yet ready for presentation will be delivered as soon as possible, the Austrians in the meantime having the opportunity to begin work on the greater part or the treaty in an > effort to facilitate a final decision. The Austrian treaty follows the same outline as the German and in many places la Identical with it, except for the change in name. Certain specific clauses which applied only to Germanyare, of course, omitted and certain clauses included, especially as regards the new states created out of the former Austro-Hungarian empire, and the protection of the rights in the radical religious and linguistic minorities in Austria. Czecho-SloVakia, Roumania and the Serbian-Croatian-Slovenian ' v.i, troatv a ft ' It&te. Austria is Uj ? _ state of from six million or seven million people inhabiting a territory of between 1,000 and 6,000 square miles. She is required to recognize the independence of Hungary-Czecho-Slovakia state and to cede other territories which previously, in union with her composed the empire of Austro-Hun gary with its population of over 50,000,000 people. ? Atlanta, Ga.. June 2: Telephone employes, chiefly operators of the local switchboards of the two companies here, went on strike today, demanding reinstatement of about a dozen workers who they assert have been discharged for union activities. A. F. Joyner, spokesman for the union, said 690 young women operators and. 160 male employes of the two companies were out tonight. J. Epps Brown, president of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company, said late today that 125 employes had walked out, these, he said, were 117 young women, six men and two boys. There are approximately 600 operating room * *? t?|pnhone com employes in nit i... , panies and about 300 clerical employes, Mr. Brown said. The strike had been threatened as one which would involve union telegraph arid telephone workers throughout the country, but President Konenkamp, of the Commercial Telegraphers' union of America, announced in Washington today that the strike would be localized to telephone employes in Atlanta for the present. "It's a tight to the bitter end," C. F. Mann, a vice president of the telegrapher's union, asserted in a speech late today at a mass meeting of those who quit work. It's the beginning of the end for Postmaster General Burleson." he added. He told the strikers they had the backing of labor throughout the country. Telephone sendee was continued during the afternoon, the company admitting it was working under a handicap, but saying it would continue to give the best service it could. No out-of-town operators will be brought in to fill the vacancies. President Brown said. Postmaster inspectors began to busy themselves getting data from both sides in an effort to clear up the discrepancies. ? Washington June 2: Radical agitators tonight apparently attempted to Inaugurate another reign of terrorism through the country through the plant ing of infernal machines near the residences of prominent men. Within a few mh.utes after the explosion of a boomb at the doob of Attorney General Palmer's residence here, with the killipg of one man, evidently the person planting: the bomb, reports were received from Boston, Pittsburgh, Paterson, N. J., and Cleveland of similar explosions. Attempts on the life of Attorney General Palmer were made tonight through the planting of a bomb which wrecked the lower portion of the Palmer residence in the northwest portion of Washington. Mr. Palmer and all members of the family escaped without injury, being on the second floor at the time of the explosion. One man. thought to be the person who | minted the bomb, was blown to bits b.v the force of the explosion. Police believe that the bomb exploded prematurely before It could be placed under the house. The bomb, the police said, was contained in a suitcase filled with clothing. Portions of the clothing of the man killed, it was said, indicated that he was roughly clad. The force of the explosion was sufficient to shatter window glass in residences for a block on each side of the Palmer home. The residence of Senator Swanson, of Virginia, next door to that of the attorney general, was not badly damaged. Police picked up along with bits of clothing of the man killed a copy of "Plain Words," a radical publication;. This, in connection with the report of an explosion at the home of Justice Albert F. Hayden. of Host on. caused authorities to fear another widespread bomb plot similar to that which radicals attempted to carry through about a month ago. ? At the annual decoration day at the Up-church burying grounds in Wolf River valley, Fentress county. Tennessee. Sergeant Alvin C. York. world war hero, on last Thursday resumed his role of elder in his church, quitting: his place beside his sweetheart on a wagon seat to speak to 500 mountain people gathered on the hillside for the service and the big basket dinner in York's honor. Th" returned soldier said: "It is with the deepest love toward you all that I speak todayLove for you and for all my people thrills my heart again when I meet with you. It has been two years since we have met here for this decoration. While we are spreading flowers on the graves of the dead, we should remember to throw flowers of kindness In the paths of those still living and help them reach a Christian life. 1 have almost seen in the dark hours of midnight a vision in the py.nly gates of heaven. There are things that compel men to think of Cod. It is hard to be in the dark hours of night and see no one near, yet hear men dying not far away and hoar them pray to ' God to save them, who have put off their prayers to the kist hour. It is a sad thing to hear men to your : right and left asking God. between 1 their groans, to have mercy upon them. Tt is all right to ask God to have mercy, but don't put it off until the end is near. We should lead a. Christian life, so we can look up and say 'Lord, I'm ready.' Christ will take you safely through the dark valley of death. If I were a preacher?and I'm not?but a simple country boy?' would think it one of the highest of honors to be chosen from God's multiplied millions to do God's work. While I have been gone. God has been my helper and keeper. Without the hand of God I know that I would not be here today." fhc ^lorkvillr Cnquim Entered at * ie Postofflce at York at Mail Matter of the Second Class. FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1919. Those people who have United States bonds should remember that as pricei of commodities decline, the value oi the bonds will increaseThe unproductive work necessary t< get out of or around productive wori Is really more Irksome than the productive work Itself, then why not gei down to the productive work? There Is no possible doubt of tfit complete practicability of a safe, sim pie and inexp??nsiVe Torrens system foi the registration of land titles. Tin difficulty comes solely because of th< tremendous task involved in the establishment of such a system. Eggs have been known to sell at 20 30 and 40 cents a dozen at diflferen places in York county on the sam< day. This wide difference of price i! also common in the case of chicken; and other articles of food. A motoi -""I' imn?nnpt route ought to serv< to relieve this situation. The navy department has ordere< that the NC-3, which recently sailec across the Atlantic, be dissembled anc shipped back to the United States There is no inclination to attempt t< cross the Atlantic in a single flight ant of course nothing would be gained b; repeating the outward voyage on J homeward voyage. President Carranza of Mexico, re cently refused the request of one of tin big American oil companies operatinj in Mexico to be allowed to use airplanes in sending money to its employes. Thi oil company gave the desire to check mate robbers as a reason for its re quest. Carranza refused the reques on the pretext that the rebels migh get possession of such planes as shouh be disabled and use them ugainst him In these days of airplanes, especiall; since the wonderful progress of flyiip during the past few years of the war the invasion of Mexico by Americans should such invasion be desired, wouli be a very simple proposition comparei with difficulties that would have bee: presented a few years back. Th mountainous character of the countr; offered the strongest barrier agains the forces of Scott and Taylor; bu nowadays the mountains would no give a great deal of trouble. Senators Smith and Dial votc< against submission of the woman suf frage amendment to the constitution Their principal reason no doubt, is th< race situation in South Carolina, com plicated as it is by so much illiteracy Because of this question the proDien is, in truth, a most difficult one, espe cially for this state- It is very doubt ful as to whether the general assembl; will vote differently from the senators but as the whole question has alreatlj been pretty well fought out in tin country as a whole, the probability if that equal suffrage of women will be come a part of the fundamental lav regardless of what South Carolina ma] do. The final settlement of the terms o: peace with Gerinanf are still hanging in the air. The terms as dictated b] the Allies are admittedly of a mos chaotic nature. For one thing the: cut the German empire well to pieces leaving it hardly as strong in territor] and resources as before the war. Th< indemnity conditions are indetermi nate. The aggregate amount demand ed is not specified and neither is tin time in which it must be paid. I Kff>ms rather to be a matter of requir ing Germany to ugree to submit her self to whatever demand the Allie may desire to make now or in th- fu ture to remain under probation for al time to come. Germany's length; counter proposals deny the full re sponsibllity for the war charged by th Allies, and protest the utter impossi bility of complying with all the term even though willing. She offers to pa; over a lump sum of one hundred bil lion dollars in full settlement of al claims for indemnity, and also asks fo immediate admission into the league o nations. Premier Lloyd George am President Wilson are understood to b disposed to consent to very materia modifications in the treaty. Mr- Clein enceau wants Germany to sigii th treaty just as it stands, and leave th Allies to make such subsequent con cessions as they may see proper t< make. President Wilson is said to b in favor of virtually restoring to Ger many her former jurisdiction over sucl tof her colonies as have not been other wise disposed of. The Germans hav not positively refused to sign. Preai dent Wilson is undentood to sum largely in the position of leaving it t< Clemenceau and Lloyd George to read a final agreement. Germany is stil looking for a settlement in full aceor< with the principles of Mr. Wilson'; fourteen points. WOMEN WILL VOTE. Proposed Suffrage Amendment Now up to Ratification by States. * Action by congress on equal suffrage ?subject of a fight of -14 years' duration?ended Wednesday in adoption by the senate by a vote of 56 to 25 of the historic Susan It. Anthony constitutional amendment resolution. The proposed amendment, adopted by the house by a vote of 304 to 89, May 21. as the first act of the new congress, now goes to the states, ratification b> legislatures of three-fourths of which is required for its incorporation in the federal constitution. The roll call showed two votes more than the necessary two-thirds for the resolution, which was drafted by Susan R Anthony In 1S75 and introduced bv^ Senator Sargent, of California, in IS7S. Counting puired and absent members, the senate actually stood 6 to 30 for the measure. Loud applause, unchecked by th presiding officer, swept the senat chamber when the final vote was an nounced following two days' debat and many jubilation meetings were i progress tonight at headquarters c various women's organizations whir iiave been active in support of th means. Immediately after the senate's ac i tion the resolution was taken to Speak er Gillett's office and signed. It wa rushed back to the senate for its pre sidintr officer's signature, but arrive after the senate had adjourned, an , will be approved tomorrow. Presl r dent Wilson's signature, it was state ed, is not necessary, although the res , olution will be sent to the White Hous as usual and may be signed by th executive. It will be certified to th - states by the state department. The absentees. Senator Owen an Robinson, favored the resolution, an Senator Smith, of Georgia, was va opponent. Including paired and at sent senators, the actual senate lineu was 40 republicans and 26 democrat for the resolution and nine republicar and 21 democrats in opposition . The amendment as it will be adde to the constitution if ratified by th (states, reads: "Article? ?, section 1?The rlgi of citizens of the United States t vote shall not be denied or abridged b the United States or by any state o Account of sex. "Section 2?Congress shall ha\ 3 power, by appropriate legislation t f enforce the provisions of this article All efforts to amend the resolutio in the senate failed. By a vote of 5 to 28 the senate rejected the amend )!ment to Senator Underwood, demc t crat. of Alabama, proposing submii sion of the proposed article to populs ' state conventions instead of state leg t islatures. An amendment by Senate Gay. democrat, of Ixiuisiana, propof ing enforcement by the states instea of the federal government, was vote s down 62 to 19. The senate also re jected, without a roll call, a revisio of Senator Underwood's amendmen r proposed by Senator Phelan. dem< 2 crat, of California, to fix methods < > calling popular ratification conver tions. Although few state legislatures no are in session, woman suffrage chair pions tonight claimed that ratiflcatic soon would be secured, probably 1: next spring. t ?? ; ?Anderson Tribute Tuesday: J " the conclusion of arguments in a 3 equity case yesterday afternoon i 3 United States court, Judge Woot r passed sentence upon the Rev. F. ( % Hickson, a well known Baptist preacl " er of Gaffney, S. C. He is require to serve three months in the Cheroki county jail or pay a fine of $500. T1 , Rev. Mr. Hickson, much enfeebled 1 yekrs and worry over the predicamei 1 refused in open court to pay his fii 1 or to let his friends pay the fine f< , him. He said he was willinj to sen the sentence of three months but h 5 friends paid the fine and there w?' 1 nothing for him to do but return i f his home in Gaffney which he did la er on in the evening. Thus ends case that has attracted considerab attention throughout the state. Tl Rev. Mr. Hickson's case, it will be r< called, was first heard before a U. commissioner at Gaffney. The charj s against him then was that he had pul " ' * * /*i\m?v?itninQtlnn in ;; lisneci a seuiuuua tujiiiiiuuiwtivii ... church paper. He was bound over * the Federal court and when court coi e vened at Rock Hill, it was also chargi - he had made a statement to the effe . that Woodrow Wilson should be assa sinated for plunging the United Stat into war. He was convicted and a cl t max took place in the court room wh< i the aged minister rose to his feet at declared that since he had been coi ' vlcted he did not care what the se tence of the court was and he wou y just as willingly receive a sentence ? be hanged as to the penitentiary. H case was taken on appeal to Richmon " There the court found no merit in tl s, assignment of error but reversed tl j lower court on the ground that tl , statutes prohibited a penitentiary sei tence of less than a year and he h< a been sentenced to serve six months e the Federal penitentiary in Atlant The case was therefore sent back wi instructions that sentence be ma< t that of the county jail. Last Wednei t day Judge Woods referred to the cai t and stated that because of the heal of Hickson and the fact that Hickson utterances could be more readily a tributed to eccentricities of mind rat! j er than a criminal intent, he would tr pose a sentence of three months in tl " Cherokee county jail or pay a fine i. $500 and that sentence would be pri 3 nounced as soon as the minister's coi dition was such that he could get court. l nai wsra uunc ? year, after Hickson's case had bet i heard by the U. S. commissioner ; Gaffney and either before or after h conviction at Rock Hill, Mr. Hicksc " ran for superintendent of education f Cherokee county. Out of a large nun ber of candidates, he was in the se< ond primary and came within a fe ' votes of being elected. The Rev. M i Hickson stated to a Tribune man jui s as he was leaving the court roor that he had prepared a statemei which he was going to ask the pre! f of the state to publish. MERE MENTION.

The present school build- pi d ing is not nearly large enough to meet Cc the requirements of the situation, cc There is need for more room and bet- cc e ter facilities generally. Lack of room, ih d under existing conditions, is a re- sh - * - nn tbo nk J. proacn, <i umcr ici/iuuvu v?* va>v oli seeming indifference of the communi- Cc ty. The situation needs to be remee died, it can be remedied and it must be th Jt remedied. p, ?That was a pretty come to pass a m few weeks ag;o with only fou* people th 0 attending the annual meeting of the school patrons to hear the report of ,_ the school board. It was not a reflection on the board, however discour- th e aging it may have been; but it was a rt d reflection on the community. Have to o the people of the community reached pi that point where they no longer care m about the education of their children? fc Have they gotten to where they aredn- to y different as to whether there are com- ai fortable sanitary conditions or not? a< As a matter of fact that is not true; ai but nevertheless the people should turn T n out to the meeting tonight, and &how ai it their attitude at least by their pres- pi p ence. bi ' ? Still every once in a while some tc lg fellow shoots off his mouth about the di n uselessness of the shade trees of the di r- town- Nobody has ever been heard to el give a fairly reasonable objection to the trees. The agitation was started bi 2" some years ago in the interest of the oi k right of way for the telephone wires. S> y That was when it looked like it would ^ be cheaper te fool the people into cut- tl ting the trees down than it would be n w to buy cables. The only pretext that P was advanced was one that did not a' even have the merit of plausibility, it n was claimed that it would help busi- tl ness. Nobody has ever tried to explain h >d how; but still there are those who re- if lg peat the absurdity. Of course they have very little more sense than a If parrot. To a certain extent the trees ti d, interfere with the electric light wires; but that is a matter that can be hand8 led. Nine strangers out of ten are * 4U..n|nni|n At'AH t Vin rr rt more or less enuiuBiwiw v?c. w.*. beauty and pleasure of the shade trees. _ 1- The other fellow might speak disparagingly. yEsop tells a story of a fox ei :- that got its tail cut off in a trap and spent the balance of its days trying to ^ ej- persuade other foxes of the unsightly a uselessness of wearing tails. J? O HERE AND THERE fl ss The Automobile association is still ? id working on that good roads picnic to be held July 4. It is only a month off " ?two days less than a month, in fact. ^ Ld Mr. T. H. Riddle, of Clover Xo. 2, tl 3e who returned from a stay in a Balti- l ." more hospital not long ago, said yes- y ai tereay that he learned while there ^ t_ why it is so few negroes commit sui- s, 1. cide as compared with whites. The n ie subject was up for discussion, and one p y, of the white men asked a negro por- n ,li ter's opinion on the matter. The reply d j. was like this: "Well, you see when a iC j. white man finds something about ti sa which he wants to worr^, he worries 0 :h and worries until at last he pulls out 0 ie his pistol and blows his brains out. cj rs But when something comes along and V1 ,C1 begins to worry us, we Just worries 0 and worries until us'es goes to sleep." 0 :d Soldiers and sailors who were taken n ip into the military and naval service of K is tho TTnited States on account 6f the li European war, whether voluntarily or tl ?n inducted under the draft, are exempt \\ y. from street and road duty- There had rr been newspaper reports and rumors of w such a law; but in order to settle all o possible doubt, Treasurer H. E. Neil h is secured a certified copy of the act as yi id passed by the last session of the gen- ei eral assembly. t< j- Whether or not a citizen, otherwise n it qualified, has the right to vote in an election held within thirty days of the si ,n issuance of a registration certificate, is J< ls an interesting question that has been k raised in connection with the recent tt township bond election and the pend- vi I? ing special school elections in Bethel B ' and Bowling Green districts. The elec- tl lt tion laws provide for the opening of nr the registration books on the first tl d Monday in each month up to thirty cl 1- days before the general election. That B> >f is taken to mean the biennial and H quadrennial elections in November, it ,d There is a provision in the law which f? 1- requires that the books must be closed G le for thirty days prior to any general w election. To guard any chanco of vi- ni s tiating the bonds on account of any ^ technicality in connection with the s election, Mr. J. S. Brice, acting as general adviser, requested that the board nt r-ncistration withhold all certificates during the first Monday in May. Xo " . certificates were issued on that day. ? Some twenty or more certificates were issued last Monday, presumably on ace count of the special election to be held j* in Bowling Green and Bethel school . j districts. It is a fact that the rule which requires the closing of the books r1, thirty days before a special election ; has1 not heretofore been observed. It 1 ly is a fact that it has not been unusual Ie for voters to participate in elections 18 within thirty days of the date of re- . ' 5" ceiving certificates. It is a fact that ^ K compliance with the law requiring the ' 'e closing of the registration books with- ^ t in thirty days of the holding of an tl ^ election, might leave very little time in 11 which the books could be opened. But hl lt the question of the legality of a vote tl cast Within thirty days of the receipt P> l* by the voter of his registration certifl- tc t> cate nevertheless remains- Mr. Brice e< P says that while he does not believe fhat tl a certificate can be lawfully used with- M (j in thirty days after its issuance, he is 81 " not prepared to render a final opinion H on the subject. He has written the tl attorney general for supreme court a' opinions covering the point. He is not sc certain that there are any such opin- n< ions. He looks at it like this: AJ- tl though the registration books are not ?' is nntn,,iiv closed thirty days before an - il election they are constructively closed, ei ie and under the law it would be the duty w of the managers of jyi election to de- m n cline to recognize any certificate issued si within thirty days previous. Mr. Brice, cc however, is not to be understood as pt 7. having given an official opinion on the w point. te di LOCAL LACONICS j" A. M. Titman's House Humeri. te The handsome home of Mr. A. M.

Massey Will Recover. j After several days of grave doubt it now reasonably certain that Mrs. jrton Massey, who was so horribly Jured in the automobile tragedy at itawba Junction on Thursday of last eek. will recover. During the first . ur days Dr. Fennell and his hospital aff regarded the chances of this unrtunate lady as exceedingly slim; but >w they are much more hopeful.. Up last accounts Mrs. Massey had not sen told of the death of her husband ] id baby; but she was evidently susclous. She could understand why she uld not see Mr. Massey; but she tuld not understand why the baby uld not be brought to her. That was le substance of what she said when te tirst began to recover her terribly tattered faculties; but the doctors >uld only tell her to try to rest and roid worry.

McNeil is at present commander of le department, pending the arrival of >ieut. General Bullard. As General IcNeil, who commands the South Atintic coast artillery district, is to be icceeded by Brig. Gen. John D. Barett, it is not known yet Just who will resent the precious token that comlemorates one of the most heroic eeds recorded in the history of Amer:an arms. Few distinguished deeds in le recent war equalled the courageus action of Sergeant Hall, whose act f heroism, according to the official itation, was calmly calculated. It ras not a feat performed on the spur f the moment, but a deliberate deed f daring, done in the full consciousess of the risk assumed. Sergeant [all was a member of the famous One [undred and Eighteenth regiment of ie Thirtieth Division, a regiment rhich won six of the 70 congressional ledals of honor awarded during the 'ar. The following Is the official recrd of his act: "For conspicuous galintry and intrepidity above and beond the call of duty In action with the nemy near Montbrehain, France, Oc)ber 8, 1918. Having overcome two lachine gun nests under his skillful ladership, Sergeant Hall's platoon was :opped 800 yards from his final objctive by machine gun fine of particuir intensity.

About 50 miles of the high ly has been graded, he said, and of I is approximately 25 miles topsoiied, I id this has been done at an average y penditure of $2,500 a mile.

Miss Wooster will ask that the ^ ertiflcates of teachers who are found ^ o be addicted to the tobacco habit be evoked. There is no law in the state j irohibiting the use of tobacco by _ eaehers or others, except children, but j he law requires teachers to give in- . tructlons in the effects of narcotics J o children. Miss Wooster holds that io person is competent to give effective * nstruction and use narcotics at the c ame time, and that a teacher using e obacco sets a bad example to the c hlldren.
