; . ?rtaps and ^acts. ? The Rev. L. G. Robinson, presiding eltkr of African Methodist church in Chattanooga, Tenn.. has written President Wilson appealing for his support for passage of federal legislation to prevent lynching and to force Southern states to place negroes on juries. Robinson in his letter to the president recites many alleged injustices committed against his race and declares that before the negroes of this country will again submit to "many of the injustices which we have suffered, the white man will have to kill more of them than the combined number of soldiers that were slain in the great world war." ? Vonriv 9. nnn neeroes shouted their approval In New York, Sunday when various speakers addressing a meeting held under the auspices of the Equal Rights League, urged the adoption of radicalism among the negroes as a means of obtaining their ".rights." One speaker suggested "following the constructive work done by blacks in Washington" while others advised "using all methods even force" and "making radicalism the essence of our propaganda" and "stopping the* white man treading on our toes. The meeting was a "welcome home" to William Monroe Trotter of Boston, who recently returned from Paris after an attempt to present to the peace conference a petition concerning the negro race. ? The sentiment in congress for the occupation of Mexico for the protection. of American lives and lawfully acquired American property, is daily growing stronger. Representative Hudspeth of Texas, made a stirring speech l~st Saturday in advocacy of immediate occupation. He stated without reservation that not a single Mexican had ever been punished for mur aering or rouuing muciivauo. *iv appealed to the Democrats and to the Republicans to take actio* and his appeal was responded to with cheers from both sides. It Is commonly estimated that it would require from 50,000 to 200,000 American troops to invade and pacify Mexico. The number ' of troops necessary would depend In a large measure upon political condi- ; tions. ? Race riots between whites and , blacks in Chioago, 111. broke out Sunday afternoon when blacks attempted J to come over to that part eft the 29th 1 street beach set apart for whites. The , whites attempted to drive the blacks , back to their own side by throwing rocks at them and in the fighting which followed one white man and one negro < were drowned, while several members j of each race were more or less badly injured. The difficulty soon spread to ' State street the main thoroughfare in I the heart of the negro district, which s extends about five miles. There has , been ill feeling between whites and blacks on Chicago's south side for < some months past. Chicago's "black j belt," as it is known in police circles, now comprises approximately twtntyflve square miles, and includes only a comparatively few small white settle- J ments. The negro district has been in- i creasing steadily in recent years with ] the influx of southern negroes who came to work in the big industrial 1 plants- After several hdurs of rioting 1 Chisago police reserves got the situa- , tlon well in hand by Sunday night and little more trouble was expected. ? Statistics compiled by the bureau of the census give the consumption of cotton in the United States during < June as 474,407 running bales (count- j ing round as half bales), ^gainst 515,823 bales during June, 1918. The 1 amount on hand on June 30, 191S, was < 1,264,927 bales in consuming establish- , ments and 2,'*83.141 bales in public storage and at conpresses, against 1 673,239 balee and 2,116,193 bales re- ? spectively on hand at the end of June, i 1918. The figures for 1919 include It'.-,' 961 bales of foreign and 3,443 bales of Sea Island in consuming establishments and 30,465 bales of foreign and 30,754 bales of Sea Island in public i storage. Linters not included wtre , 15,037 bales consumed during June in 11919 and 102,496 bales in 19R?. 261,..91 ' bales on hand in consuming establish- 1 ments on June 30, 1919, and 154.455 ] bales on June 30, 1918; and 209.513 bales In public sto-nge end at com- ; presses on June 30, 1919, and 285,786 bales on June 30, 1918. The consump- i tlon of cotton during in" eleven months . ended June 30, 1919, amounted to 5,257,726 bales, contrasted with 0,025.032 1 bales during the corresponding months 1 of the previous year.

In the German natk>nul assembly ' last Saturday, Mathias Erzberger, vice i president and minister of finance, made some important revelations in- ( tended to fix the responsibility for ' Germany's present plight altogether on < the military party of the empire. Ac- i cording to Erzberger, on August 13, . 1917, the German government received from Great Britain, with the approval ' of France, through the Papal Nuncio ' at Munich, a note asking for a German declaration as to the independence of Belgium and compensation, and inquiring what guarantees Germany would require for herself. Chancellor Michaelis, according to Erzberger, , did not answer the note until September 24, and then wrote that the situation did not warrant any declaration from Germany at tftiat time. Commenting upon this most significant incident. Erzberger pointed out that the military party by refusing this opporx tunity for the conclusion of an honorable and advantageous peace, had brought the Genman people to their present ruinous plight. Michaelis has issued a statement in which he admits the receipt of the British overtures; but denies responsibility for their rejection. He says that the responsibility is upon the emperor and the supreme army and navy authorities. ? British coal miners have inaugurated an extensive strike having for its nhipct the nationalization of the mines of the country. For the past several years the coal miners have been drawing comparisons of their condition with the condition of other industrial workers and insisting that they ane entitled to the means of as high a standard of living as is enjoyed by the cotton mill operatives and workers in similar lines. Most of the miners of England belong to different hereditary estates, and are operated by independent corporations and individuals, who claim that they cannot make a fair living in competition with the world, after paying royalties demanded by the bered'tary owners and wages demanded by the miners- In response to the argument that accession to the demands of the miners would destroy the coal industry of Great Britain and along with the coal industry various other industries, the. miners have replied that if the commercial and industrial life of Great Britain is so dependent upon the product of the mines, the mines should be owijed by the nation as a whole, and the nation as a whole should bear the expense of reasonable wages to the miners. This idea is at the bottom of the present strike, and it appears that the outcome is going to be of world-wide importance in its relation to the whole controversy between capital and labor. ? Price iixing commissions by the government are the only remedy for profiteering in the necessities of life, in the opinion of William Harmon Black, formerly vice chairman of the war labor board, who sailed from Xew York last Saturday on a six week's trip to France and England. Mr. Black declared that even men who in fotr hsift bt-on forced into tenueu iu m ..... ...... _ exactions not warranted by tlie situation. "The pressing problem." he said. "Is the sky rocket cost of living. It is all paid by the ultimate consumer. The country believes that nearly everybody who can is profiteering. Nearly every man is noising the price of everything he sells. If nothing Is done to check this almormal inflation in prices the stage will be reached finally where there will be a breaking point to relieve the tension." Suggesting the remedy of price fixing commissions. Mr. Black said that as far as the power of the government to create such commissions was concerned, "the same supreme court which read 'the rule of reason* into the Sherman act could read fair prices into a decision which would validate an act creating price fixing commissions." He pointed out that the war labor board had fixed the prices of labor and that the price of wheat had nlso been fixed and maintained, that there was no difference in principle in his plan. If the federal government v.as found not to have jurisdiction over prices of production in the states, Mr. Black proptfsed that each commonwealth appoint a commi39lon to regulate prices within its borders. j . . . She ^orhville nqttim Entered at the Postottloe at York as Mail Matter of the Second Class. TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1919. Labor comes high, maybe; but we've got to have it. Lets have better enforcement of the vagrancy laws. Let's require that those who do not work must not eai. People who would make headway in business must adjust themselves o the changed conditions. The man who thinks to wait until prices generally get cheaper will surely go to seed. There are more bums, white and colored, in Washington, than in any other city in the United States- What the old town needs more than anything else is a drastic vagrancy law, rigidly enforced. The Standard Oil company of New Jersey, has doubled its capital stock by the issuance of $100,000,000 worth of new stock in the shape of 7 per cent preferred. The new stock has nothing to do with the control of the company, having no voting power. It has been I sted on the New York Stock Exchange, etc-, and its present market lalue is over $116 per share. This is entirely a new departure in Standard 3il finance. Heretofore the company has increased its capital only from earned profits. Also never before has the Standard Oil company listed its stock to be traded in by the public. 1'he common stock of Standard Oil .ommands a premium that re: resents Its par value several timo6 doubled. Tomorrow, July 30, marks the three hundredth anniversary of the first representative legislative body to be estab lished in America. The legislative body referred to was the Virginia house of burgesses, which begun its sittings at Jamestown on July 30, 1619. The government, according to plans originating in England, consisted of two houses, the first made up of the governor and council selected by the British stoekholders of the company and the other chosen by the \oters of the colony, two burgesses to each one hundred people. From this small beginning government of the people has spread throughout America and to many other eountries in different parts ot the world. % Dr. J. B. Johnson of Rock Hill, is undertaking to perfect the organization of the American Cotton association in York county. Most of the counlies of the state have already been properly organized; but up to this time practically nothing has been done in tfork county. The object of the Amercan Cotvon association is to put cotton producers in a position to secure a fair price for the product, not only during his year, but during all other years'ommon sense and experience have aught that this end can be accomplished only by the closest co-opera ion of all who are engaged in cotton troductlon. York county has abundmt material for the organization of ne of the strongest and most effective otton associations in the south, and Lhe thing for this material to do is to 4et together. Successful organization annot do any harm. It may easily result in great good. "P.ere was a time when protection of An* l ican industries by means of high tariff taxes was necessary. With foreign manufacturers established and thoroughly organized it was impossible for Americans of no experience to build mills and develop business in competition. But those old times are pas; and gone. America has outstripped t-he world in manufactures of every kind, and whatever we do in the way of higher tariffs only serve to aise the price of our own goods on our own people. Where formerly we were heavily indebted to Europe, now Europe is even more heavily indebted to us. Europe can pay us only with her roods, and for the sake of our own people we need to let those goods come in, not exactly free; but under reasonable duties. High protection on foreign goods will serve only to make the American rich richer and the American poor poorer. Thra is a consummation which by all means, must be avoided. Certainly it is right for the government to do something liberal for the soldiers who served during the war. There is no end of argument in justification of this proposition. Consider, this for instance. Here is a boy of from n ti> ;ti who is makinir his way in the world with u good Bulary derived from useful employment. He is taken away from family, friends and business, and used for all he is worth up to the extent of laying down his life when re"juirod. Say he comes back whole. The little thirty dollars a month he has been allowed has been frittered away in an effort to partly maintain the comforts he has enjoyed previous to entering the service. The clothes with which the government has provided him are not tit for civil life. The clothes he had when he went into the service have been given away to the Belgians or other charities- A new civilian wardrobe as decent as that which he has lost, now costs several hundred dollars. The $60 the government gives him on discharge is not sufficient to outfit him in a single complete suit. There is nothing wrong or unreasonable in giving to every soldier at least $30 a mouth for every month he has been in the service. Good Roads. The editor of The Enquirer, not long ago, had the experience of being driven in an automobile over the public roads from Hamlet, N. C., to Raleigh, from Raleigh to Durham, and from Durham to (Marksville, Va.. all during the same twelve hours, Including an hour or two of steppage for refreshments, etc. A part of the distance from Hamlet to Raleigh was made over the national highway. It was ordinary highway from Raleigh to Durham, and national highway during the whole distance from Durham to Clarksvllle. The distance from Hamlet to Clarkvsille is about 175 miles. The best of the road along the route outside of the bitulithic concrete in some of the cities like Sanford, Henderson, Raleigh and Oxford, was about equal to the road from Clover to Ber-: nett's mountain and the poorest of itj was about like that between Yorkville and the Chester line by way of McConnallsville; but little of it was up to that between Gastonia and King's Mountain by way of Linwood college. Generally, in fact almost invariably, the national highway is plainly blazed by strips and daubs of red, white and blue on telephone posts, fences, trees 1 ~n~Ymr-a nf tinilSPS uuu 1x1(7 uviuvto w? 1?vmwv-.. In most cases where the road was not already very good, great gangs of road laborers were engaged in making it very much better, and taken altogether it was a pretty good road over the whole distance. Over all the longest stretches of real good road throughout the entire distance, the ruling impression on the editor's mind was a feeling of admiration for the Intelligent, broad-minded progrensivoness of the people of the different counties who have made great headway along the line of highway improvement. This ho doubt, is also the ruling impression of most people who travel good roads. anywhere, whether in North Carolina, Virginia or South Carolina. Peace Treaty Controversey. Partly pure politics and partly patriotic concern over the highest and best welfare of the American nation the sensational controversy over the acceptance of the league of nations In the ratification of the peace treaty, continues to occupy the attention of the country to a very important extent, "np of the big Questions at issue from a controversial standpoint, * is whether the United States is to undertake to guarantee the peace of the world by prolecting all other nations in the ordinary commercial relations through which they are constantly trying to do each other, and the common answer to this is that in the future as in the past, we are going to have as much as we can do to attend to our own business. The most embarrassing points, probably, that the Republicans have raised up to this time are in connection with the Shantung question and the French treaty. As to the French treaty, little is known beyond the fact that the United States is understood to have entered into some kind of a special engagement with France, and the president has not yet seen proper to make public the exact terms of that treaty. The Shantung affair is more embarrassing. The Germans robbed China of the Shantung peninsula and the Japanese took it away from the Germans. None of the Allied nations have ever conceded the right of the Germans to this land, yet the peace treaty seems to concede a full title to Japan, notwithstanding the protests of China, the rightful owner, and notwithstanding the clear cut declaration in Mr. Wilson's Fourteen Points against the violent alienation of the territory of one friendly nation by another. I? is given out rpore or less authoritatively, presumably as coming from the president, that later on it will develop that Japan has promised to restore Shantung to China, on the payment by the latter country of some big sum of money that will cover the cost of conquest and additional compensation. Also it is understood that China may agree to make other valuable concessions to Japan in connection with the matter. But after all as to whether there is really good cause for concern over what might be done as to the league of nations or the peace treaty, there is more or less reason for douht. To be sure, it is important that the whole thing be settled at once?the sooner the better?in order that the world may commence trying to'*get down to normal conditions again; but that is about the biggest question. If it is a fact that the United States is asked to subscribe to the giving of Shantung to 'Japan, that is wrong. There are no doubt numerous other wrongs. N'one of these wrongs can be excused or justified; but they will be swallowed and that is about all there is to it. At least that is all there is to it until another time. The principal definite settlement by this war was the signing of the armistice terms by the Germans on November 11. 1918. Most of the diplomatic stuff that has been engaged in since that time has been fol-de-rol, the beginning of the great game which sooner or later will culminate in another great war. ? Washington, July 21: All of the -,00U regular troops brought here to .,n serve order when last week's race rioting and street disorders got beoiiu control of the police had been withdrawn tonight, but the national capital was sini depending on the army, which was represented by a provost guard. At the earnest request of ilie local authorities the war department recreated the provost guard which had been abolished several .?cks ago, and tonight the troopers with ted bands on their sleeves armed with riot sticks and six shooters in opened holsters were patroling the j? ineipal parts of the capital in pairs. Although the race rioting and the attacks by negroes on white women have subsided, street holdups have continued. The Maryland state authori;i. s have demanded the extradition of one negro whom they charge with an i asaidt on a white woman. The Washington police who sa> they believe the man's alibi, however, refused to give ;p ihe prisoner for fear he would be lynched when taken over the Alaryland line. The local Maryland authorities dissatisfied with the conclusions of the Washington police, called in detectives from uailimorc wno ueciare iliey have disproved'the man's alibi entirely. Governor Harrington of Maryland lias issued a formal request for the negro's extradition. While action has been deferred in congress on various resolutions demand ng an investigation of the police and tixing of responsibility for the crime, the local authorities have been preparing legislation to increase the personnel of the forces. Seizing their Chances.?The "next play" seems to be up to Gastonia already, Albemarle having called her hand. The Ktird Manufacturing Company at that plgce, having closed contract for the machinery and completed all details, has made public its intention of proceeding with the erection and equipment of its fifth cotton mill, this last edition to be of the ambitious pretentions of a million-dollar enterprise. The building will be three stories high and Mill No. 5 will take rank as one of the largest in the south. ?Opportunities. ? The indications are that thwe will be several candidates for the seat in congress from the Sixth South Carolina district made vacant by the death last week of Congressman J. Willard Hagsdale.

PUBLIC PLATFORM The principal advantage to be derived from the establishment of a public cotton platform to be presided over by an olTicial weigher, is to equalise the advantage of buyer and seller in the. marxct. As matters have always stood in this county the buyer has had every advantage of the seller. It is not necessary td discuss whether the buyer has made improper use of that advantage. That is not the point- The point is that there should be no special advantage on either side. Granted, for instance, that under existing conditions, there is plenty of competition among the buyers, and the seller has a wide range of choice as to whom he may sell to and at what price, after the price is agreed upon and the sale is made the adavantage of the buyer again becomes ascendant. It is his to weigh, his to estimate moisture, demurrage and the like. As to his fairness in doing these things is not the question here. The point is that there should be no advantage. It is up to the weigher to weigh and adjust differences as the fair and impartial representative of both sides at interest. There is no advantage to either side. That there will be a little friction at first, is to be expected. It will not be at all surprising if even some of those who are now most enthusiastic for the contemplated reform should have occasion to feel doubtful as to whether] the change was wise. But that will be only temporary. The whole matter will adjust itself here as it has invariably adjusted itself elsewhere. The important thing is that the sellers of cotton should be placed in a position to have larger representation in the regulation of the market in which they are pleused to sell. within The town ? What has been done along the line of hacking up Congressman Stevenson in his effort to get an appropriation for a postoftice building here? ? C roil ml has been broken for the erection of the cotton warehouse of the I 'conle's Warehouse Company. The building is to be located on the C. & N'.-W railroad to the rear of the Carroll Bros. lot. ? The recent rains appear to have 1m en <|iiite expensive to Contractor Bedmoud. not only in the matter of delaying work; hut in practically undoing some work already done. A considerable amount of foundation that had been practically completed on I Kind's Mountain street has been washed up. ? The York Furniture and Hardware Company has recently purchased a handsome automobile hearse at a cost ni several thousand dollars. It will be delivered within the next few weeks. ? Largely due to the rains, business of the past week was about the dullest that Yorkville business people have known this year. However the merchants and others were kept fairly busy despite the rains, many people coming in between showers to buy goods. ? Gulf Paving Company, contractors in charge of the street work in Yorkville has been unable to make much progress during the past ten days because of the heavy rains and on account of the shortage of labor. Now, however, since laying by time is at hand, it is believed that labor will be more plentiful and all other conditions being more favorable it is thought that the work will proceed speedily. ? People of all denominations of the town went to the Presbyterian church Sunday evening to attend a special service held there in honor of Capt. Phillip W. Hunter and other members of the church who saw service overseas in the late war. Brief addresses were delivered by Capt. Hunter, Col. W. W. Lewis, Capt. G. C. McCelvey, Perry Ashe and-Capt. B. J. White of Pock Hill. A special musical programme was a feature of the evening's entertainment. ? Because of the danger of possible falling plaster from the ceiling in the main auditorium, services at the Associate Reformed church Sunday morning were held in the Sunday school rooms in the basement. There was a crowded congregation in attendance. It was feared that the wet weather might cause the plastering (none too good anyway) and some of which has already fallen, to come loose, and hence the transfer of the congregation to the basement. The detective piasiering win ue repancu as soon as possible. ? The second team of the Neely Cotton Mill of Yorkville defeated the Wymajo mill team of Rock Hill, in one of the best baseball games seen here this season last Saturday afternoon. The score was 3 to 1 in favor of the Neely Mill. Kiser, pitching for the Neely Mill, struck out seventeen of th? opposing batsmen. The game was a pitcher's battle between Kiser and Lawrence Laughriage, the former having just a shade the better of it, largely due to the fact that the Wymajo catcher was unable to hold the delivery of the pitcher. The Neely mill has two baseball teams .this season and a game is played every Saturday, most of them in Yorkville. ABOUT PEOPLE Berry McCleave of Icock Hill, spent Sunday with friends in Yorkville.

I jn Miss Belva Saunders, one of theltli two county school attendance officers Ist for York county is steadily pushing Iju her work in obtaining a census of the ., children of school age in the various districts despite adverse weather I conditions. She is making good head-|Ti way and is having little or no trouble I be in securing the desired information. I w Occasionally she comes upon parents I sc who give her to understand that theyjal do not care whether their children go h< to school or not and would just a cs little rather that they would not; but [in there is not a great deal of that. 1st There are some parents who tell the I in attendance officer that they are unable |lo to'control their children and make J m them go to school; but the suggestion I tr that all incorrigible children under thejdc compulsory attendance law are sent to I in the state reformatory brings the parent I tr to the conclusion that the children arejw not so incorrigible and unmanageable I be after all. Miss Alice Garrison, the I y( other school attendance officer for the I county has not entered upon her share I of the census canvass as yet due to|stl the fact that she is awaiting the ar-|a rival of an automobile which she has|lb purchased. In the meantime she is de-1 voting her time to office work In the I be office of the superintendent of educa-1 da tion. fr I f t*i An old man sat in front of u York-I.. ville buisness place Saturday after-| IV noon.

His face twitched at intervals, | the muscles of his body did queer I y stunts every once in a while. Occas-1 ionally he would open his eyes in a k' dreamy way, seeing nothing. A couple I 3 of negro women passed and stared at I him. "Law'se" said one. "Dat is de|ce fust drunk man I have seen since de I prohlbishun business come over de Ine country." The other one showed theljf3 whites of her eyes in an indication of 110 her astonishment. But the man wasn't 11|| drunk.

And then she explained: "I have a student whom I Ch am unable to instruct because it ap- jn pears that he is just simply unable to co lea i n. Ho has been in the same class jn| two years and is apparently no further ,ju along than when he started. His en- pe vironment at home is not to his ad- ,nI vantage. His relatives tit home tell sjc him that he has no sense and cannot ve learn and others have told him the ro, same thing until he believes it himself. op And it is a fact that he is not real Vil bri' ht. It appears to me that I am (j0 dim-sly wasting time in trying to in- vve struct hini and then by my devoting so W inn h time to him I am doing an in- yc justice to other children. Has the pr state no institution for the training of p such children?" The teacher was informed that there was no such insti- (j,, till inn although the omciais agreeu ium jg1 there ought to be. The only two on schools approaching the need are Cedar tu. Sprint's Institute in Spartanburg conn- re( ty which is for the deaf, dumb and vvj blind" and not for the mentally defl- gt, ?<ent and the state reformatory for },jj ivhite youths at Florence which Is for youthful criminals.

"The citizens of Greenlie have very kindly ofTered to enrtain the men in their homes free of large," said Mr. Bowen. The Southn Textile hall, the largest hall south the city' of Philadelphia, has been omised to the association for Its eetings free of charge. Mr. Bowen ates that the citizens show by every t and word that they want the men come and partake of their hospillty.

L- C-J?.A atfAnty nr. i People iiin do rcu.?n v?B gnment of the present Hungarian rernment is contained in Allied J itement issued from Paris in which i is made known to the Hungarian < jple that they can only obtain a re- l ival of the blockade and receive | id supplies if they oust Bela Kun and set up a truly representative government. The text of the statement, given out by Premier Clemenceau, In thet name of the peace conference, follows : "The Allied and associated governments are mostly anxious to arrange a peace with the Hungarians and thus bring to an end a condition of things which makes the economic revival of central Europe impossible and defeats * any attempt to secure supplies for Its population. These tasks can not.even be attempted until there is In Hungary a government which represents Its people and carries out in the letter and the spirit the engagements into which it has entered with the assc elated Mvcrnmcnts "None of these conditions is fulfilled hy the administration of Bela Kun, which has not only broken the armistice to which Hungary was pledged, but at this moment actually attacking friendly and Allied powers. "With this particular aspect of the question it is for the associated governments to deal on their responsibility. If food and supplies are to be made available, if the blockade is to be removed, if Economic reconstruction is to be attempted, if peace is to be settled, it can only be done with a government which represents the Hungarian peo;. le and not with one that g rests its authority upon terrorism. "The associated powers think It opportune to add that all foreign occupation of Hungarian territory as defined by the peace- conference will cease as soon as the terms of the armistice have, in the opinion of the allied commander in chief, beeu satisfactorily complied with."
