Scraps and facts. ? ? Von Hlndenburg and other leading generals have Just Issued what they call an "Authentic History of the events at Spa," on November 9. Just previous to the signing of the armis* tlce. In this "history" they attempt to exhcnorate the Jtalser from any cowardice, and say that he retired Into Holland only after it had becomee very uncertain as to whether the army was any longer to be relied upon. They admit that the kaiser sfened his abdication as Emperor of Germany; but deny that he has abdicated as King of Prussia. The reactionaries are believed to be trying to re-enstate the kaiser as King of Prussia; but the probability Is that the feeling Is so great as to make their efforts impossible of success at this time. ? Acting upon the advice of the Mexican government, John W. Thompson, an American ranchman living near Mexico uiiy nas p&ia me i.ouu-pesos rassom demanded by bandit* for the release of his fourteen year old son, the state department advised. The Mexican authorities said they feared the bandits would fhurder the boy unless they received the money. Young Thortipson was captured at his father's ranch after the bandits had disarmed him and taken his horse. Urgent representations in the matter were made to the Mexieaa foreign office by the American embassy at Mexico City. Secretary Lansing said the Mexican foreign office had agreed to refund the amount of the ransom and to take measures for the capture and puaishfnent of the bandits. The kidnapping took place Thursday of last week at the Thompson ranch, thirty miles from Mexico City, and the boy was released on Friday. ? France has purchased from the United States left-over army supplies to the amount of considerably more than one billion dollars. The exact figures as to the value ef the supplies and the amount paid for them have not yet been made public. There was some dickering. The United States named a certain low figure. France offered several hundred million dollars less. The United States refused to yield and France came across. The supplies Include American typewriters, automobiles, safety pins, locomotives, buttons, shoes, plows, tractors, clothing, canned goods, meats, maps, bookft In ihnH owrv rnnnnlrahU nh1t>ot that canibe Included In a billion dollar army store. Much of this merchandise Fraace will use within her own borders. The balance of it she will distribute among: her colonies and all over the world. Besides the present' purchase price America expects to get Immense' future benefit ' Naturally there win follow orders from all parts oT the world for other articles like these included in the present purchase. ? Lam than one half of one per eent ef the American soldiers who died on the battlefields of France were buried unidentified, according' to Colonel Joseph S.'THerron, of Cincinnati, commander of the 15,000 troops who interred the fallen Americans and who returned to New York last Monday. The men under Colonet Herron's command removed the dean from the temporary graves dug them under fire or at night on the field where they fell i and laid them to rest In large concentration cemeteries. Eaeh cemetery is surrounded by % painted fence and the grass on the graves Is kept green and cared for by a detachment of soldiers left on duty as caretakers. The largest graveyard is at Romagne. where lie 22,000 Americans who died in the ArVonne and Meuse sectors, and the next tergest is at Thlacourt, where 4,200 soldiers who fought at St Mlhiel and Toul are buried. ''We did our work.", said Colonel Herron, 'In accordance with the expressed wishes of the* men of the A, E. F. The remark most frequently heard when the business of getting killed waS spoken of was the hope that if the fellow talking 'got It' he would be buried with the others of ? s. Jl-J-J #a11 ms regimem. or uiviauu wuv ?.??* > and close to the battlefield or on It" The advisability of bringing the American dead back from Prance was questioned today by Baron D*Estournelles de Constant, member of the French senate, who sailed for France after a brief visit to this country. Baron de Constant, referring to the proposed removal of the war dead of the Allied countries, said: "I would say wait' We French have a great respect for the dead and there Is not a French mother or father who does not look upon the American dead In France as their own sons and their graves will be so honored. In this time of eonfusion ft would not be wise to attempt to remove the dead. There would be terrible mistakes made. In any event it is wiser to wait until times are more settled." ? The special treaty with Fraace, promising Immediate Americas aid to that republic in repelling any unprovoked attack by Germany, was sent to the senate last Tuesday hy President Wilson. In his message urging ratilcation, the president declared the promise "a temporary supplement" to the treaty with Germany and the league of nations covenant designed to give France protection in an emergency "without awaiting the advice of the league act." He pointed out that a similar promise had been made by Great BritaJs, and said that by the obligation the United States but partially discharged a debt to Frenee which "nothing pan pay" In full. The senate where the president's fellure to submit the treaty sooner has been under repeated fire from republican members, received the message i? open session and referred the treaty without discission to the foreign relations committee. There was no reference In the message of the senate criticism, which was based on a clause of tbe treaty requiring that It be "submitted to the senate of the United States at the same time as the treaty of Versailles," presented by the president on July 10. The message did refer to this clause. however, saying that it was provided that the two treaties be "the subject of cTfhsideratlon at the same time" and adding that as opportunity now had been offered to examine the Versailles treaty, it was opportune to present the other. Departing from his custom of delivering his message to congress in person, the president transmitted the treaty and his request for ratification by messenger. Both became public by the senate's unanimous agreement to remain in open session while the message was read and to print it and the treaty in the record. The request that this coarse be followed was made by Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations committee. Although the committee has made no definite plans, it Is likely that the treaty will be taken up by It within a few days and considered Jointly with the Versailles treaty. Before this is done, however, the committee will hear several of the experts who advised the American peaoe delegation of economic subjects. ? Scores of instances of brutal treatment of American soldiers in the prison camps of France, described In some cases ae amounting to a system of torture, responsibility for which was placed by the witnesses on htgfe army officers, were related in -New York Tuesday, before the congressional sub-cemmittee which is Investigating the disciplinary system of the A. E- F. The committee, consisting of Representatives Royal C. Johnson, of South Dakota, and Oscar E. Bland, of Indiana, met in the disciplinary barracks of Governor's Island. The third member of the sub-committee, Representative Henry Flood of Virginia, was not present. The men "higher up," who were directly charged by witnesses with responsibility for the prison conditions included Brigadier General W. W. Harts, former commander of the American troops in the Paris district; Major General FrederickSmith Strong', erf the 40th division; coioneii Edgar Grimstead, commander of the 158th Infantry, and Colonel J. ^ Maul, of the field artillery. A number of captains and lieutenants also were named as having taken an actual part in the brutal treatment of the prisoners. At the close of the hearing, Representative Johnson, who is chairman of the sub-eommittee, announced that all cases in which charges were made would be placed before the inspector geaeral of the American army and every effort made to bring the guilty men to punishment. "Prom the evidence before the committee," *iid Mr. Johnson, "it seems clear to esthat while sergeants and lieutenants were panished, they were merely eoapeJoata of high officers. We want to discover who were the men 'higher up' and we will do everything in our power to see that they are brought to trial* It Is apparent that this was not ft case of brutality in as individual prison, but that similar conditions existed in practically all the prisons of Prance." lin forkvttU (Snquim Entered at the PostofBce at York as Mail Matter of the Second Clhsa ~1 r' ' 1 FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1919." What would have become of the south's cotton crop during the war except for the development of the warehouse system? The warehouse saved the situation in 1914, and without the warehouse backed by the banks, the 1919 crop would have.gone for a song. v _ _ \ Alexander Garbel, premier of vthe Hungarian soviet government has committed suicide. Hop iless of the possible success of the Bolshevist resume he made a speech against Bela Kun hie leader last Monday and then put a bullet through his own brain. There is plenty of room, for soOial and Industrial reform but precious little will ever be gained in this direction by the L W. W. route. The I. W. W. is in realty a paradox, seeking itself to be that vhich it would destroy. While covetously yearning for the existing proceeds of the partnership of labor,' intelligence, training and experience, throughout the past, it would make no provision for increas ng tne slocks or me luiure. The Federal Trade commission says that the "biff five" packers, 3wift, Armour, Morris, Cudahy and Wilson, have complete control of the lire stock j market and there is no hope of releasing their gTlp by drdinary means. Having- accumulated surplus steres running into many millions of pounds of beef, pork aifcd the like, the packers ;are able to hold off the market until the cattle raisers are glad to sell at reduced prices. Competition is checked off by underselling new concerns in their own markets. The big Ave Is making prices as effectually as if they actually owned the entire supply. Responsibility for the race troubles In Chicago Is clearly upon the whites of Chicago, rather than upon the negroes. The need fdr more labor in Chicago was met by the importation of negroes frotn the south. Of course the enly consideration was money. The big industrial organisations of the great city wanted more labor so as to make more profits, and the negroes were Jnduced to flock to the city with promises of more money. As the stress for labor slackened, whites were given the preferenee, the negroes were left to shift for themselves, and hunger, desperation, etc., did the balance. Of burse the negro was foolish to leave the south, where he can do better than elsewhere in this country; but how is he to be expected to resist the temptations that the people of the north hold out to him?. The Charleston mayoralty campaign which has been on for several weeks, is about as hot as usual, and then some. The race as heretofore is between the Hyde and Grace factions. This year the Grace faction has con trol of the election machinery ana in Charleston that is generally a very considerable advantage. Neither side has any confldnce in the other. Each side thinks the other side is capable of any unfairness?any excess?and for that reason?each side is on the lookout to take any advantage against the other side. Grace who is editor of the Charleston American, is using that paper as his organ. Both the News and Courier and the Charleston Post are supporting Mr. Hyde and the Hyde party is publishing in both papers a newspaper improvised for the occasion called the Charleston Patriot. The Charleston Patriot abounds with charges of Grace's alleged disloyal conduct during the war, and in support of the charges is citing the efforts that were made by Postmaster General Burleson to keep the Charleston Amerloan out of the mails. Grace is charging unbridled corruption against Hyde and his associates, alleging that in one case Hyde for his own advantage Had solemnly sworn that land which was really worth only $42,000, was worth $798,000. In last Tuesday's American Grace reviews at length Burleson's efforts to keep the American out of the mails. He set forth that the whole thing was a conspiracy on fV*r? nnrt e\t RlnhurH T Monnln? Congressman Whaley, Mayor Hyde, the News and Courier and others. He say? the people resorted to secret perjury, and tells how they were defeated. He defies anybody to quote a single published utterance In all his career that can be construed as disloyal to - America. He insists however that the war was unnecessary; that President Wilson played double; that Wilson was elected on the claim that he had kept the country out of the war amd all during that campaign he had in his heart the idea of getting the country into war just so soon as he should have the power to do so. Chicago Race Riots. The race riots which broke out in Chicago, last Sunday, presumably because of the encroachment of blacks on a portion of a bathing beach ap portioned to the whites has continued in progress all the week and quiet has not yet been restored. There have been from four to ten deaths each day and sevc ,-al hundred people hare been more or less seriously injured, the casualties being1 divided between whites and blacks, with the blacks getting rather the worst of it Several policemen have been killed and many others have been injured. The rioting has for thev most part been between negroes and foreigners and cause of k traceable more than anything else to labor jealousies and racial antipathies. Chicago has for many years had a large negro population; rut this population has been largely increased since the breaking out of the world war. The exodus of foreigners following the world war, was naturally followed by a tremendous influx of negroes, the negroes having been brought up to carry on the various kinds of heavy work that previously constituted the tasks of the foreigners. Since the signing of the armistice the foreigners have been coming back In large numbers to resume their old jobs. While In many cases the negroes were allowed to hold on, the common j tendency of employers has been to give the whites the preference; with the ^ result that many thousands of negroes 1 have been turned loose. The tardiness , with which employers have been making changes, and the pressure of In- 1 creasing destitution on the blacks ( ttavA asrsrravate the situation. . The allegdd encroachment by the blacks, and the portion of the bathing beach that was recognized as belonging to the whites was very probably Iiore of an occasion for than a cause f the trouble. A vast majority of the negroes of Chicago, live in districts that are entirely given over to them, and the foreign and other whites with which they are in labor or other competition generally reside In the same or closely adjoining neighborhoods. > According to the newspaper reports the number of rioters on both sides aggregate a good many thousand people; and while most of the fighting is going on in the quarters occupied by the homes of the rioters, clashes have ( been continually occurlng in widely i separated localities, including the heart t of the great city as well as the out- t skirts. t The police have all along had the i situation sufficiently well In hand tp c prevent the congregation of any con- t siderable number of rioters at any i one point, and they have generally t been able to break up the smaller J riots before they could attain very 1 large proportions. Quite a number of t pistols have been used, and fatalities t have been caused with these weapons, c but the larger number of wounds have 1 been Inflicted with knjves, clubs, ^ brickbats, slugshots and the like t Both the city and state authorities t have been keeping in close touch with i All a# *V?a ft trn llo HI a t ine Buuauvu* ah vi wo ? police reserves that are considered t necessary are constantly on duty and t several thousand troops are being: kept c under arms within easy reach.

They are also inclined to think that if one or the other class 1 finally has to go it will be the negro.

"A distortion of the truth," the { characterization applied by Alexandre 1 Ribot to the recent statement by ' Mathias Erzberger, the German fl- * nance minister, declaring that Great Britain and France made peace over- ' tures to Germany through the Vatican, in nis own name; pointed out m. Ribot, who was French premier and foreign minister at the time In question, made this declaration in a statement to Marcel Hutin of the Echo de Paris- The former premier explains the concurrence as follows: Pope Benedict, in August. ' 1917, suggested proposals to serve as a basis for overtures to Germany, France and Great Britain both decided to decline the proposals. The politest acknowledgment was made to the pope, but nothing more. The British minister to the Vatican, in Wis own name, pointed out that the proposals did not contain sufficient guarantees for Belgium. Cardinal Gasparri, the papal secretary of State, M. Ribot continued, seized upon this to telegraph Germany for explanations on the subject of Belgium. It was an attempt to start a conversation, M. ltibot declared but the British government cut it off short and the British minister went on further. "I simply said to the British government," said M. Ribot: "Do not yourself be invoked in an indirect conversation like that and that was the end of the matter." ? Washington. July 30: Early action by the war department in devising a plan for direct sale of surplus army food stocks to consumers was expected 1 by Republican leaders today as a result of the adoption by the house yes- j terday of a resolution requesting that J the stocks be made available through * a selling organization. Senate approval of the house measure is not necessary, 1 as the resolution is without legisla- f tive direction. Chairman Graham, of ^ the house war investigating committee, 1 said a joint resolution, which when f adopted, would have legislative force, might be introduced later if the house request was not complied with. Except for one amendment, offered by t Representative Kelly, of Pennsylvania, directing that the food be distributed through the parcels post, the resolution was the same as reported out by the majority of the war investigating 1 committee. It was adopted by a vote of 266 to 4, after an all day debate, s during which a minority report offered as a substitute by the democratic , members of the committee was voted down. The substitute provided that the war secretary be requested to put on the market such part of the surplus f food as was reasonably capable of being dlstriDutea ana soia. anu iurm? y viding for a sales organization at government expense. The debate was bitterly partisan and republican speakers assailed the policy of the war department in failing to sooner put the food on the market. It was charged the department connived with the packers to prevent a drop in high food prices. Democrats denied these charges, with the statement that had Secretary Baker thrown the big stocks of food on 1 the market, prices would have brok- F en with a resultant panic.

Delegations of citizens from Bullock's Creek, Broad River and King's Mountain townships appeared before the county board of commissioners in special session in the courthouse auditorium Wednesday morning for the purpose of discussing the matter ^of Federal aid in road building so far as, the connecting of Cherokee and York counties is concerned. Discussion of the day hinged around the proposition as tp whether or.not Bullock's Creek and Broad River townships will be deprived of any future benefit of Federal if 'the county commissioners decide to , recommend to the state highway commission the appropriation of 110,000 of Federal aid to King's Mountain township in the building of a road from Piedmont Springs by Santiago and Bethany and on to* Clover. The representatives from western York not being clear in the matter labored under the impression that should this UDDer route or "Ridge road." as it is known be designated for Federal aid there will be no chance for Bullock's Creek and Broad River townships to secure such aid in future even though they make provision to meet Federal subscriptions by bond issues in the two townships which they expect to provide for In the near future. John R. Hart, Esq., representing the King's Mountain township highway commission said that it was not the purpose of the commission or the King's Mountain township people to have the Ridge road designated as the official west road of the county connecting with Cherokee county and neither did King's Mountain people want Federal aid for the road if it could be procured only through the deprivation jf Sharon and Hickory Grove of Fedaral aid. However, King's Mountain township has voted a bond issue of *60,000 for road building purposes. It Is desired to build a road from Piedmont Springs where connection is made with Cherokee county on to Closer and the York township line by Bethany, and if Federal aid in the sum pf (100,000 can be secured without Interference with what is to be designated a sthe west road of the county, King's Mountain wants the money. He jffered a resolution that the county :ommlssioners recommend to the state highway commission the appropriation >f $22,000 of Federal aid, a portion of which would be used in the construction of the Ridge road provided It does not interfere with the securing of Federal aid on the west road as It shall be designated by the county. The board declined to act on tnis suggestion. It, developed Wednesday morning that the route of the west road of York county provided for under the county road law has never been established. J. S. Brice, county attorney read the minutes of a meeting of the commissioners In July 1917, at which they were requested by the highway commission to designate highways .which would receive Federal aid. The north ind south roads and east and west roads connecting with Gaston, Chester, Lancaster and Cherokee counties respectively were designated; but the route of the west road was not designated as to whether or not it included the towns of Sharon, Hickory Grove ind Smyrna. Dr. J. H. Saye said that Broad River township has under consideration the matter of a road bond issue, which he is confident would early and the township is naturally anxious to sbtaln Federal aid for western York. Several other persons from western York county called the attention of hVio nrinptinff tn the noor condition of roads In the western section of York :ounty, re-Iterating the statement previously made that if Federal aid can be obtained for only one road through :he western seetion of the county that oad should be made to run through Sharon, Hickory Grove and to Smyrna jince a wider scope of territory In fork county would be served. The King's Mountain township people asked the county commissioners :o go on record as recommending to the state highway commission at least :he appropriation of $12,000 Federal lid on the north and south road ;hrough King's Mountain township from Filbert to the North Carolina line. The board, however, declined to s.ke any action whatsoever until a ater day when more information in regard to the distribution of Federal lid can be obtained. At a meeting of the Broad River ownshlp delegation Dr. J. H. Saye and dr. Jeff D. Whitesides were named as epresentatives from Broad River to i to' to Columbia, with Supervisor Boyd ind other citizens who might be in- 1 erested in order to confer with the , t highway commission regarding Fed- I eral aid for Tork county roads. Among the Broad River and Bullock's Creek people present at the meeting Wednesday were: J. S. Hartnes8, John S. Wllkerson, J. M. McGiil, V. K. Plexico. Dr. W. F. McGill, R. T. Castles, Dr. B. R. Miller, J. E. Latham, Jeff D. Whitesides, G. W. Whitesides, W. G. Hayes, Dr. J. H. Saye, George Plexico, 8. B. Pratt, R. M. Mitchell, P. B. Kennedy, J- D. Hope, Ralph Cain. Some of the King's Mountain town* ship people present were: W. T. Beamguard, J. Darby Smith, Dr. L J. Campbell, J. F. Pursley, W. J. McCarter. E. W. Pursley, M. B. Falls. HERE AND THERE Lieut J. J. Glenn, medical corpe, United States army who is stationed at Camp Jacksou, is on furlough* of fifteen days in Yorkvllla. He will return to'Camp Jackson at the expiration of" that time and expects to get his discharge soon thereafter. Dr. Glenn expects to return to Yorkville to resume the practice of medicine here. Col. T. B- Spratt of Fort Mill, was among the visitors in Yorkville yesterday, having come over to attend a n ? wt?i. rneeung ui tne iui& tuumj tu?vu Growers' Association. He was formerly lieutenant-colonel of the 118th Infantry of the Thirtieth Division and his command included many York county boys who are always glad to see him. There were several other Fort Mill people here for the meeting yesterday, among them being Messrs. Osmond Barber and J. J. Bailee. Chairman J. B. Johnson of the York County Cotton Growers' Association expects to go to Columbia, August 6, to attend a meeting of the, chairmen of the forty-seven counties of the state who will confer with state officials of the association in regard to future -plans. Mr. Johnson said yesterday that he would like for as many cotton growers as would to accompany him to Columbia on August 6, and he was sure that the meeting to be held there on that day would be profitable to all who would attend. J. E. Latham, secretary and treasurer of the Bullock's Creek Township Law and Order League, recently organized in that township, was in Yorkvilla Wednesday. Mr. Latham said that there was considerable interest in the league throughout the township and that the prospects were that it would soon have a large membership. A meteting of the league has been called for this afternoon at S o'clock to be held at Blairsvllle school house and a number of matters will be taken under consideration. . ? Mr. Sam L. Blair, a well known farmer of Bullock's Creek township was v& visitor in Yorkvllle yesterday for the first time in quite a while. According to Mr. Blair, crops in Bullock's Creek township takei as ft whole, are about *up to the standard although it has been a rather trxipg year on the farmers, long periods/of drouth being followed by long Wet spells, causing much Inconvenience and trouble In farm work. However, the outlook In Bullock's Creek for a good csop of both cotton and corn is about as good as it usually is at this time of year. Max D. Abernathy, city editor of the Gastonia Gazette, which by the way is oofe of the livest country newspapers in the two Carolines was a visitor In Yorkvllle yesterday. He was accompanied by John G. Carpenter, Esq., well known member of the Gaston bar. Mr. Abernathy said that business is | booming in Gastonia. and thatNthe city I does not know anything about dulll days anymore, construction work on j Gastonia's cotton mills and other industrial construction work keeping people# busy. Gastonia has recently organised her thirty-fifth cotton mill and, according to ttr. Abernathy, the end is not yet, since Gastonia people have unlimited faith in the continuance of their present prosperity in the cotton mill business. Messrs. James Wallace, Banks McKinney, Frank Grayson and Charlie Dickson returned,to their respective homes in this section yesterday after spending many months overseas with the Fifth American Army. Division. During the past several months the Lyoung men have been with the army of occupation in Germany, part of the time being billeted with German families. "The German people are all right and they treated us royally," said Private Wallace yesterday. "There is no doubt but what they were pleased at the signing of the armistice. They had enough of It and then some. They showed every consideration to the American soldiers of the army of occupation after we marched into Germany. Of course we did not depend upon getting our rations out of Germany; but carried them with us. However the German people oftentimes served ub with many little extras that were not to be found in our regular ration and we experienced good treatment at their hands. I left there with a pretty good Impression of the common German family." Large congregations are attending an evangelistic meeting which is being held nt Bethesda Presbyterian church, conducted by Evangelist McLees, noted blind evangelist of th ePresbyterian church. ? Two services-are being held daily, one in the morning and the other in the evening and people for mileb around have been attending the services and much good has already resulted. Rev. McLees is a preacher of ferreat power and the fact that he is stone blind does not detract from his nnwowi Ronrtorflrt hllnri at VVUIlUCi IUI pvnv*Bt the age of 12 though an accident, he decided to prepare himself fpr the ministry despite his handicap and after overcoming almost impossible obsta- ' cles, he succeeded. He has conducted evangelistic meetings all' over the country and has been the means of bringing thousands of persons into the kingdom. A large congregation heard ' his se-mon .Wednesday evening on the j tfext, "I Have Sinned," as found in St Luke 15-18. He told his hearers that sin was responsible for all the misery, j all the poverty, ignorance, crime and 1 wretchedness in the world, that it was responsible for the recent world war, 1 and that it would be responsible for 1 the. loss of every soul who does not ' accept the plan of salvation as offered through the Lord and Savior Jesus ' fchrist. Possessed' of a good voice and 1 much personal magnetism, a thorough . student of the Bible he is being heard with deep interest by his large au- . diences and is erecting a great influence for good in Bethesda. Song . services held in connection with the J meeting are an Interesting feature. ( The church pastor, Rev. F. H. Ward- law, is assisting Evangelist McLees in . the revival. ?7?* : YORK FARMERS ORGANIZE. Preliminary organization of the York county branch of the American ] Cotton Association was commenced at intorosfod farmers held ' iX II1CCUU6 VA iuvv.v-vvv, in the courthouse here at noon yesterday. Dr- J. B. Johnson, prominent farmer and business man of Rock Hill, recently appointed chairman for York county by the state chairman, 1 presided over the meeting and Jas. D. j Grist, acted as temporary secretary, j Principal business before the meeting | yesterday was the appointment of , committees in the various townships of the county who shall have charge of < the work of soliciting members to the association. , . | Attendance upon the meeting was , quite small and practically all of those ] who were present were farmers from i the eastern section of the county. Due < to the fact that there had been no an- < nouncement of the meeting in the western section with the exception of ' notices sent to a few individuals, there was pracltcally no representation from 1 western York. However, the meeting t was a most interesting and instructive 1 one, several of those present making 1 brief addresses and impressing their < hearers with the fact that they con- 1 ' * J a# tVio "Vnrlr * siaereu ine vigauiwuvu u>v .... . county branch of the American Cotton ^ Association of the greatest Importance to the farmers of the county. Chairman Johnson delivered an ad- 1 dress In which he reviewed the general ( world situation in regard to cotton, 1 and possibilities of the future. He 5 said that proportionately, the farmer ' was not receiving any more for his J product today than he was five years [ ago, due to ever increasing prices of all * materials and the high cost of living, s The American Cotton Association, he > said, had already resulted in the say* J* t f4 J Ing of millions of dollars to the cotton fanners of the south through the fact 1 that by Its Influence the fanner had kept his crop off the market during the past year, or rather had been Influenced to market it in such a way as to prevent any overloading or swamping and causing any considerable reduction in-price. Southern cotton farmers in the opinion of Chairman Johnson, deserve a much higher price for their product than they are receiving at the present time and with intelligent co-operation they would receive its worth. He related how in the past the big English interests and other interests had been hoarding great supplies of,cotton, having a surplus of from 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 bales at a time, bought at a very cheaD flrure because of heavy selling and how after accumulating , such a reserve would withdraw from ; the market causing the market to t tumble completely. The American Cotton Association, he ( said, did not propose to try to keep the price of cotton up through persuasion ; ot its members to redu*"? acreage. It did propose to urge It members to raise all foodstuffs at home and then raise all the cotton possible as a sutr- . plus- Furthermore, by the operation of Its own system of warehouses ' throughout the south It expected to fl- : nance the crop and keep it out of the 1 hands of the speculators who have fixed prices for so many years in the past There are some people who will tell you, he said, that the farmer Is fairly < rolling in wealth now. It Is not so, although he is now getting to the place where he is able to obtain those com- ' forts of life for himself and his family that other people have enjoyed for < years. Ten years ago the average $76 clerk was in much better financial 1 position than the ten-horse farmer who owned his own land. There has ' been some improvement In his oondi- < tion since that time. The farmer Is getting to the place where he Is able 1 to educate his children and furnish his 3 family with ordinary comforts; but his 1 financial condition today is nothing ' like what.lt should be?nothing in 1 keeping with his labor and toll and* j benefit to mankind. Through Intelligent co-operation as included in the 1 plan of the American Cotton Assocla tion, he will be enabled to come into 1 his own. The speaker saJa that be had I thoroughly studied1-' the plan of the 1 American Cotton aieociation and was confident that it was good. It would ! take much money to bear the expense 1 of such a national and local organi- : cation as was contemplated; but it was expense ftorth while. He pledged himself to do his best toward advancing the association in Tork county and i he sought the co-operation of every farmer, business and professional man hi the county. R. b, Sturgls of Rock Hill, addressing the meeting, heartily endorsed the American Cotton Association and advocated the organisation of the Tork county branch. The association, he said, had already saved millions to the farmers through its Influence. True, there had been farmers' unions before and there was a lot of hot air in connection with them, although they had resulted in much food- In his opinion ' the present union was the best and i most encouraging that had ever been undertaken and he pledged himself to do everything possible to promote It John ?L Steele called attention to the fact that the American Cotton Association was absolutely non-political. The officers were practical farmers and business men who have no political axe to grind; but were interested in seeing to it that the cotton pro-, ducer got the full value of his product He suggested that It would be well to arrange for a meeting In every school house in York county at which good speakers would educate the people .to the value of cotton, the policy ; of the association in regard to securing fair price for cotton and all matters connected with the cotton Industry. CoL T. B. Spratt of Fort Mill said that he was very much interested In the organization of the York county branch of the association both from the standpoint of a business man and a banker and said he was sure that i Fort Hill township could be relied upon to heartily endorse the movements Chairman Johnson explained that It was desired to Include in the association membership, not only every cotton grower In the county; but every merchant, manufacturer and professional man In York county. He felt sure that he could secure the membership of the respective presidents of all manufactories and industries In Rock Hill and he hoped that every enterprise In York county would be enrolled because all were vitally affected. It was explained that the membership fee for farmers is based upon the number of bales of cotton they produced in 1917, the amount being fixed at 25 cents per bale. Thus the farmer who produced 12 bales of cotton in 1917 would pay a fee of $3. he who produced 40 bales would pay 410. 'm-1- ? ? wamM nav oil - in IB UlVlUUCdUiy ivc nvu<u f-i ? dues until January 1, 1921. After that annual dues would be at the rate of ten cents per bale In productionThe membership fee/ for manufacturers and other business enterprises Is fixed on the amount of capital invested at X)n6 rate of 25 cents per 91.000 and annual dues at 10 cents per < thousand dollars per annum. Membership fee for professional men?lawyers, teachers, doctors, etc, is fixed at $8 with yearly dues the same. president Johnson appointed three citizens as membership canvassers fpr each of the nine townships of tne county. These canvassers and such assistants as they may appoint are to visit every farmer and every business and professional man in their respective communities for the purpose of securirg their respective memberships in the Yorkt County Cotton Growers' association/ A meeting of these commissioners will be held at the courthouse in Yorkville probably about 1 September 1, at which time they will make report on the progress they have made and will discuss other matters in connection with the progress of the . association.
