Scraps and .farts. ? The Prince of Wales arrived at Newfoundland last Monday on his promised visit to Canada and the United States- He came across on the British cruiser Renown. The prince is 24 years of age. He served through the world war with distinction and won a French decoration. He is tc spend some time in Canada and then come to the United States. The understanding is that while in Washington his home will be in the White House. ? rinia imnorts to the value of ?1, 000,000 sterling have been recovered by salvages from the wreck of the former White Star Dominion liner Laurajrfic, which was sunk Jan. 38, 1917, off Fasadi Light, Ireland. The Laurentic, a vessel of 14,892 tons, which Mas acting as a British auxiliary cruiser, struck a mine off the north coast oi Ireland. Of a personnel of 470, only 120 were saved. According to the testimony of Captain Norton before the Coroner's hearing a large number ol the men perished in open boats as a result of the bitter weather then prevailing . ? Authority to- increase temporarily the parcel post weight limit to 125 pounds so buyers of army food maytake full advantage of the opportunity to purchase through postmasters and letter carriers has been granted to the postmaster general by the interstate commerce commission. It also announced that during the sale buyers might place several orders at the same time without paying the initial postage charge of 5 cents a pound more than once. The orders must be in writing and in duplicate and the cost plus postage will be collected with them. They will be fitted in the order received. ? Offering to the public of 2,000,000 surplus all wood, cotton and wool and cotton blankets has been announced by the war department arrangements having been completed for their distribution through postofflce and municipal channels on the same plan as that adopted for foodstuffs. For individual purchasers, prices will be $6 for new wool blankets, and $5 for reclaimed wool: $5 for new cotton mixed and $3.50 for reclaimed; $3 for new cotton and $1.25 for reclaimed cotton; the reclaimed, it is explained are blankets used less than a year which have been renovated and laundered. These sell* ?1,1 flvo/J fnr Qtnnks T0 lug prices win uc u*cu ... -- tailed through municipalities and postmasters. In addition, the department will sell blankets in bale lots of 20 at prices lower than the retail figures. No more than 10,000 blankets will be sold to a single purchaser. ? The United States was a diplomatic outsider in the war with Germany and never did know until the war was over how the allied nations had discussed and agreed among themselves in regard to territorial dispositions. The United States was then called on to ratify the secret agreements of our al. lies, some of which were in direct op** position to the underlying principles of this government. This was the effect and substahce of the testimony of Secretary of State Lansing before the senate foreign relations committee last Thursday. He admitted quite frankly under close questioning these facts in regard to the ignorance of the United States of the agreements among all the other allied nations: 1. That all during the discussions leading up to the Lansing Ishii agreement the canny diplomat. Viscount Ishii, never said a word about the understandings which the government had with Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia in regard to Chinese territory. 2. That neither Lord Balfour, British Foreigpi Minister, nor former Premier Viviana of France: when they were in the United States, told this government of 1 r\f thoir KOV ine variuus agi?uiv..? ?. ernmont in regard to territorial dispositions at the end of the war. 2. That the first knowledge of the United States in regard to the secret agreements came in the first part of February, 1919, after the peace conference had assembled, when the information was transmitted to the American delegation. ? The traditional decorum of senate procedure was upset today by an unusual demonstration of approval from the galleries following an address by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, chairman of the foreign relations committee, assailing provisions of the league of nations covenant. For more than a minute the gallery spectators applauded and cheered in violation of senate rule, and then when order had been restored they interrupted with howls and hisses a speech by Senator Williams, Democrat, Mississippi, in reply to Mr. Lodge. In spite of a sharp admonition from the chair, there were more hisses mingled with applause when Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, Nebraska, seconded Williams' speech. Vice president Marshal made no attempt to check the first demonstration until it had begun to die out, but later he twice threatened to clear the galleries unless order was preserved. Senator Lodge's address, itself uninterruDted. was aimed chiefly against league provisions which, he said wouJd make the United States "a subject nation" and ended with an appeal for the preservation of Americanism. The convenant in its present form, he asserted, would not establish a league of peace, but would destroy the Monroe doctrine and give other nations the power to decide domestic American question and to order American troops into foreign service. Senator Williams bitterly assailed the foreign relations chairman, declaring that in three months of preparation he had wordeJ his addresses to serve Republican political ends and to play to the galleries. There was no appeal in Senatoi Lodge's address for rejection of the league altogether nor was there an> mention of the program of reservations proposed by seven Republican senators as a basis of its acceptance. It was learned, however, that this program had been discussed with him bj some of its sponsors and that a conference of Republicans would be helc within a few days at which an attempt will be made to bring the Massachu setts senator and several others intc agreement on such a plan. It was understood the reservation group felt they had good ground for believing that their proposal would be accepter by Mr- Lodge and that enough Republicans then could be lined up to insurr success of the movement should th< Democratic leaders give their assent. ? The railroad brotherhoods througt their counsel. Glenn E. Plumb, or Tuesday laid before the house interstate commerce committee theii charges of corruption in the management of the railroads under private control. The charges-, announced as forthcoming a week ago, were thai many of the great railway systems hac been plundered systematically by the financial interests and that the railroads illegally held millions of acres ol public lands. Eighteen representative railroads of the country, the brotherhood attorney asserted, issueel stock aggregating $450,414,000 between 190C anel 1010 as bonuses and paid millions of dollars in dividends on these bonuses. These same railroads, he furthei charged, were "controlled in whole 01 in part by the Morgan interests, the Rockefeller interests and the Gould interests." Coupled with the charges which came just before the house com mittee closed its hearings on organizer labor's bill for elimination of private capital from railroad ownership, was the demand by Mr. Plumb that congress make a thorough investigatioi of the matter so that "the Americur people may know to what extent it is tr>om t/i ovnlotation' sougni iu sui/jcw vuvu. .x. ?..l under the other plans proposed for frn ture disposition of the railroads. There was no intimation as to what cours< the committee might take in regard tc the request for an investigation. Chairman Esch, in half a dozen questions indicated that to go into the charge.' would be like traveling over olc ground, as they had been threshed oul long ago. Plumb told the committee that either had the evidence to suppon every charge or knew where it coule be obtained. Presentation of the charges apparently failed to arouse much interest among members, as nc one except the chairman sought light through examination of the witness. A, B. Garretson, former head of the Order of Railway Conductors, closing his statement begun Monday eleclared with utmost frankness that if a vote were taken today the country probablj would reject organized labor's plan He explained, however, that this would be due to general suspicion against new things, and he predicted that it would be endorsed and adopted in the not distant future. The opinion was i expressed by Mr. Garretson that there i had been no fair test of government ) operation of railroads, because the i railroads since being taken over had , been operated by officials who were I opposed to government ownership and | wanted to demonstrate that it was not t best for the country. With the filing . of Plumb's charges the committee con, eluded hearings on his plan for public . ownership and employ operation of the railroads, and will take up later the plans to be offered by security holders and railway executives, both ot which, labor officials have testified, are more f radical than that framed by Mr. Plumb and endorsed by the brother' hoods. It probably \^ill be a month before the committee can make a final report. SAW 3(1 urt* rift? $tt01lirfr Entered at the Postofflce at York as Mail Matter of the Second Class. FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1919. The street car strikes over the country' have brought the bicycle into more extensive use. Business people who need to travel swiftly and who cannot afford to use automobiles, are generally resorting to the bicycle. It cannot be repeated too often that the Important thing for the farmers of this country is to produce food and more food. Once the reply to this proposition was that we are in debt and how can we pay our debts without cotton? There was some reason to that. But ncy most people have at least had some opportunities to discharge their debts, and the thing now is to raise food in the shape of cattle, hogs and the like, xnese mings mi) now be raised with greater profit tjhan ever. Take the meat trust, for Instance. Barring New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania. and a few others, it is financially stronger than almost any state in the Union. In a way it is as strong as the national government. The same is true of the flour trust, the steel trust and many others. These trusts are able to control prices, at will, buying raw materials at their own figures and making the public pay what they please. The idea of individual or even corpoi%te compe1 tition is out of the question. The . trusts are too well grounded. They are able to oppress the people at will. They are able to be more oppressive even than a duly constituted state government that wants to be oppressive. They are virtually responsible to nobody. Then if the only way to secure relief from these trusts is by means of the competition of a sovereign state, what is wrong with such tornpetition? A. C. Townley represents economic reform of a far-reaching nature. He warts .stajA-owned banks, state-owned elevators and state-owned terminal facilities. He is not opposed to private enterprise in any of these lines; but merely seeks to furnish state competition in cases where competition is to be had in no other way. Monopolistic interests are fighting back at Townley. They recognize that unless they put him out of business he will put them cut of business. There seemed to be no other way to get Townley except by the enactment of a law that made the preaching of his doctrine a crime. The legislature of Minnesota, under the control of Governor Burnquist, a representative of big business, .readily passed such a law. Townley continuing to preach his. doctrine in Minnesota. was arrested and put on trial before a packed jury. He was denied the right to speak in his own defense and was convicted of disloyalty. North Dakota farmers are pressing for a new trial and say they are willing to back Mr. Townley with all the money that may be necessary to secure Justice. 1 Special correspondents from Russia i are writing the big newspapers they ' represent that Lenine is beginning to realize that the jig is up so far as the 1 ~r ll-inrt V>!u (tronin nf estsib IlUpr ui inui/a.ih *<? ?w.... ?. lishing Bolshevism is concerned, and l.enine is realizing1 too that there is ' little else for him now than to seek an s asylum In some place where he may live out the remainder of his days in ' peace, if such a place is to be found, r lie is beginning to see more clearly every day that If he remains In Rus' sia, sooner or later he will be assassi' rated., He finds that while the do> less people, the tramp element, the j - i lenient that has never been willing 1 to work anyway, is desirous of hold[ ing on. the solid substantial people of . the kind who do the labor in the J t factories and on the farms are unable J to see in Bolshevism anything like just and equitable recompense for 1 their industry, and all Russians are 1 roeing more clearly than ever that the r brains, experience and skill to plan are fully as important as is the labor to 5 execute. The idea that the profession? a) irmn, the scholar, the preacher and 1 others are non-productive leaches i on the body politic is fast disappearing ; and with the passage of this idea Is j also disappearing the idea that politi. ?al or economic systems of any kind > may lift men above their natural or J acquired qualifications. Russians gen. < rally, even those who embraced the Renine idea at the beginning, are being disillusioned. But it is not to be understood that Lenine is trying to desert , 'he whole btsiness. it Is stated that - I t is trying to turn the government ' over to less radical elements more 3 likely than himself to be able to hold . the situation together. i , m , | Authentic advices from Russia in dicate the probable early collapse of - tho various eamuaicns acainst the J Bolshevist forces. On the one side is ) the Bolshevist government of Lenine . and Trotsky, undoubtedly having con. trol of the greater part of Russia in j Europe. Opposed to the Bolshevists t ::ie Admiral Kolchak, at the head of > the provisional government of Siberia, t with Omsk for his capital. (Jen. DeneJ Kine, operating in the southern part of' > Bussia, and what part is left of the j i retiring French and British forces in; t the province of Archangel to the north. There are nine thousand Americans in j eastern Siberia, and an inconsequent i number of Japanese. The Americans and Japanese are presumably there only for the purpose of protecting the eastern end of the Siberian railroad. In the spring Kolchak, with more than 100,000 men held positions along the Ural front. Since then the Bolshevist armies, estimated as numbering from 300,000 to 500,000, have driven him back a distance of 800 miles- He has been compelled to make three different retirements over an aggregate distance of 175 miles, within the past ten days. His army consists for the most part of raw levies badly equipped, while the I Bolshevist armies are largely composed of well disciplined veterans, said to | be led in part by German officers. Geni?mi nonekine's Cossack army to the | south is much better equipped and supplied with big guns, tanks, machine guns and small arms; but it is not so strong in numbers. Denekine is within easy reach of help from the Allies; but Kolchak is far from possible help. The British and French are soon to leave the Archangel district, so it has been officially announced from both Paris and London. It is a common fear of anti-Bolshevist sympathizers throughout the world that the Bolshevist armies plan first to crush Kolchak and then go after Denekine. South Carolina Marriage Laws. For nearly. 250 years?from the first settlement of the state, in fact South Carolina has stood out all alone on the divorce questionThere have never been any divorce laws in this state except for a few years between the resconstruction period from 1868 to 1876. There are no divorce laws in South Carolina now. This commonwealth Btill holds the distinction of being the easiest state in the union In which to get married and the hardest in which to get unmarried. Until the enactment of the license statute of 1911, there was no legal requirement for any kind of a written record in connection with g. marriage eeremony. All that was necessary to constitute a marriage was the sworn testimony of credible witnesses to the effect that they had heard the parties in question acknowledge themselves as husband and wife. Barring the requirement nt Viovinir flr?t nhtnined a marriage li cense and that is all that is necessary now. # This is the law; but hardly the moral sentiment of the public. In addition to a license, the most wholesome public sentiment requires an approved marriage ceremony in which the contracting parties solemnly bind themselves to the obligations of the state into which they are entering. At this ceremony either a Christian minister or any public official with power to administer an oath may officiate; but a Christian minister is preferable. But by whomsoever the ceremony, based upon the duly issued license, there is no legal manner of undoing the marriage. The dower rights of a woman in all real property owned by her husband at the time of her marriage, or subsequently acquired by him, have always been carefully guarded by the law?so carefully in fact that until 1902, these rights were simply r.on-forfeitable. By an act passed in 1902 it was provided that if a woman willingly leave her husband, and continue away in adultery, she should forfeit her dower rights, subject to reconciliation with here husband. At the last session of the general assembly this statute was further amended so as to provide for the forfeiture of dower rights of a woman who may willingly remain away from her husband for a period of five years; or who may be convicted of adultery; or who may obtain a divorce in another state. Is is provided in all cases however, that if the husband agrees to a reconciliation such forfeited rights are restored The Problem of Britain. As a refuge from the widespread unrest and threatened disorganization as the result of the conflicting aspirations of labor, capital and autocracy, David Lloyd George, easily recognized as the foremost statesman of the world, is now pressing for a general overhauling of the British government, for hundreds of years the local sovereign arbiter of the political affairs not only of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, but of all outside possessions and dependencies so as to form what will be in fact, as well as in name a mighty empire every part of which will have equal representation and power with every other part, in ^ proportion to population, wealth and intelligence. The British government is a strictly party affair- After a general election, the king selects as his prime minister the leader of the dominant party and the prime minister organizes his cabinet of ministers as circumstances seem ts\ enocnet nciio 11 \r frnm fimnnC thft leaders of his own party; but in the case of naiional peril, as during the great war, from all the parties that have strength enough to compel recognition. Ordinarily the dominant party governs with an iron hand In accordance with its own peculiar policies, swerving out of its course for nothing except unmistakable rebuke or complete overthrow by the popular electorate, which, at best, has but an indirect way of making known its desires. British social, political and economic conditions of-today constitute more than anything else a thousand years driftage of a hap-hazzard policy that has all along been based on the principle of "eveiy man -for himself and the devil take the hindmost." Land titles are for the most part traceable back to the strongest arms, wielding the most skillful swords, and for hundreds of years the labor of the masses went with the lands upon which they lived. Gradually and slowly what Is now understood as "business" began to i win the recognition of the sword, and now labor, strengthened with a slowly but surely dawning intelligence, is beginning to lay more or less wellfounded claims to rights of which It has so long been deprived. In the light of the great war, nothing is more natural than the present upheaval. All classes were called upon to offer their lives and all they had. Hundreds of thousands died. This was for the preservation of the wealth the homes, the altars and fires , the liberty and the prestige of those who had such things. And what is more natural than that those who had nothing of their own to light for should now be asking for an equitable share of that which they helped to save for others? If that does not touch the cause of the existing unrest, then the explanation Is indeed a mystery. But no man can be trusted to help himself according to his own ideas of his own deserts. The most convincing proof of this is to be found in the' results that followed the old time practice under which the titles to the lands went to the strongest and boldest swords. The possession of wealth, ( prestige and privilege is by no means prima facie evidence of unfitness or wrongdoing. The intelligent direction 1 of brains and learning has had as much to do with the prosperity of ] Britain as has manual labor, and j more. Without this intelligent direction of brains and learning, Britain j w/Milri novnr hnvp hponme what she is. and with the intelligent direction of brains and learning separated from [British wealth today, under whatever ownership this wealth might fall, It would become as the ashes of Sodom. There Is probably no other man in the world who has a more comprehensive appreciation of the problems of Great Britain and of civilization at this time than Lloyd George, and there is probably no other man in the world who is more fully competent to work these problems out on a basis of righteous justice to all. Will Not Deal With Striking ShopMen.?No dealings with representatives of the railroad shopmen now on strike will be made by the railroad administration, Director General Hlnes repeats in a letter to James Hamilton Lewis, former senator from Illinois, who telegraphed the administration August 9 in the interests of the strikers. "The strikes which have taken place have not been authorized according to the laws of the shopmen's organization with which the railroad 1 administration has dealt," the letter says, "and these strikes have the ef- < feet of repudiating the established organizations and of bringing the con- ] sideration of the matter to a standstill. The president himself has fully . adopted the policy." Sensible Talk on Negro QAettion.? Sensible leaders like Rev. E. L.?Madison, a negro preacher of Wilmington, 1 can render a great service to the country by sane counsel to members of , their race. As quoted in The Wilmington Star, Madison, in a sermon last Sunday, called the attention of his con- 1 gregation to the advantages and opportunities enjoyed by negroes in the south and warned them against listening to radical orators, either north or south. Speaking of opportunities in . the south, and of the fact, recognized 1 by all thoughtful negroes, that the < southern white man is the negro's best I friend, he said. "In every city or com- ( munity the honest, industrious negro man can get any favor which he may : need and ask from the hands of his good white neighbor." "What we have ( lost in centuries," he said, "cannot be iegained in a few years. No eloquence of men's agitation, no bullying threats of men far away from among us, who would make appeal to passion can . serve the purpose of the negro in the south. Let us continue to prove 1 worthy of the friendship of ourywhite < neighbors who have stood bj^ and *- -? J In nKiin. Iieipeu U3. VV C Iltvvc menus 111 uuu.ldance and we must not forget them. We can ill afford to part with them. We should not prove ungrateful to them. Let us look things in the face and be square with them."?Lumberton, N. C., Robesonian. The Profits of the Cotton Industry.? In the interest of all parties concerned, but more especially to determine whether cotton manufacturers are earning more from the spinning of raw cotton than is justified under present high price conditions Representative Byrnes of South Carolina, who, a day or two ago offered a resolution calling upon the federal trade commission for data on this line, says that the information given him while satisfactory as far as it went, was not sufficient. it is shown in the figures supplied him what it costs the cotton mills to make the different kinds of cloth, but there is nothing to show what they get from it, and it is the net return, after other expenses are met, that Mr. Byrnes wishes to secure. "I am going to introduce a bjll" Mr. Byrnes said "calling for the enactment of a law which will compel the federal trade commission to publish quarterly an itemized statement from all cotton mills. This will show what the mills ' paid for the raw cotton, what they 1 paid their selling agent, the cost of mill help, and, finally, what they re- ] i-pivfii for the finished troods. It will show in detail, how much the mill help received and what others received, and l'rom this will be determined whether there is fair play all around or whether under present circumstances warrant, whether it is the middleman or some one who is profiteering"." Opposition to the Plumb Plan.?The Board of Directors of the Chamber of 1 Commerce of the United States has issued a formal statement regarding the demand of railroad labor organizations for government ownership, in which it was pointed out that these demands create a situation * which "calls for the most serious attention and deepest thought of all citizens." "These demands," the announcement r read, "raise vital questions which af- j feet directly every phase of life throughout the United States. They constitute a definite program for gov- r eminent ownership and this despite the fact that government ownership t has proved to be disastrous wherever C it has been applied. t Any proposal for government own- t ership of railroads, whatever the provision for operation, raises questions t which every citizen must eventually ( consider for himself. To increase the s present public debt from $30,000,000,000 to $50,000,000,000 in order to acquire t the roads would severely strain the i credit of the Liberty and Victory i bonds held by millions of people. The t public as a whole through the governm< nt would be asked to assume the f burden and financial risks of railway t capital, while the roads would be run l?v and for the managers and em- c ployes. The suggestion of possible re- r (Suction of costs of transportation and ] betterment of service under such a ( system is purely theoretical and has not been established in practice by the f government operation of the railroads. { On the contrary, in this country as ( elsewhere, the very opposite results have been shown. 8 "Government ownership means a re- j tarded development of the railroads. Because of the war the country is B cadly behindhand in railroad construe- jlion. Additional facMities must be a added at once, and enormous railway f extensions must be made during the c next few years to meet the actual demands of our country's growth. This g ' alls for the highest type of individual t initiative and enterprise. Politics must lie kept out of the railroad business." MERE MENTION.

Road improvement work was comnenced in King's Mountain township ast week, and it is now being pushed vith much energy and speed over a lumber of different roads. There are two big squads of graders .vorklng on the road from Bethany to Plover, one at either end, and also a op soiling squad working toward Closer. There is another squad at work on he Piedmont-Bethany road from McJill Bros.'s store out toward Piedmont iprings. There is another squad working over o the north of the Battleground, comng this way by the Galloway old mill ntn thp Pipdmont-Bethanv road, close o the home of J. E. Bigegrs. There is another squad working !rom the Grady Adams place by Mrs. 7. C- Faulkner's toward Clover. The work is under the general :harge of Mr. Gamble, an experienced oad man of King's Mountain, with Price Falls, also of King's Mountain, as ;ngineel\ In all there are more than 100 men >n the Job, working with road marhines, drag pans, plows, picks, shov,'ls, etc., and of course teams. The ruling price is $5 a day for team md driver and $2 a day for the man >ehind a pick or shovel. There has been no trouble in getting ill the labor needed at these prices; >ut it is generally understood that the ibundance of labor can continue only or a few weeks until cotton pioking, orn gathering, etc. Whenever possible the road commislioners are trying not to exceed a 5 per :ent grade.

Waugh, pastor of the First Baptist church and the Charlotte Street Baptist church of Yorkville, is that he is getting along nicely. Rev. Mr. Waugh went to the Baptist hospital in Columbia last Friday for the purpose of having his tnnuilu romnvoH Ho -had boon in a bad way physically for quite awhile, and has been attributing his trouble to diseased tonsils. But the trouble was not with the tonsils in the opinion of the examining physicians. The physicians agreed that Mr. Waugh was being poisoned by discharges of pus, but in their opinion the pus was coming from abscessing teeth, and instead of cutting out the tonsils they remov-1 ed the teeth. This, by the way, is becoming very general practice nowadays. Many bodily ills, the original nature of which were formerly a mystery, are now being attributed to pus poisoning. These ills include rheumatism, neuritis, headaches, persistent temperature and other symptoms. The physicians have absolutely no doubt the tact that pus is playing In most asea; but often it is more or less diiiicult to locate the origin of the troubles. More frequently than otherwise the teeth are to blame. It has been established that at the root of a tooth there may be a "blind" abscess, or pus pocket, which without giving any hocal trouble, might poison the whole body. The only way to stop the How of poison Is to remove the source of it. During the past few years - ...i-ou .1 f rnmnfl rntivelv VOUne and middle aged folks throughout this loll lit y have been having their teeth removed on this account.
