k_ i ; Scraps an4 facts, j ? Archduke Joseph of Austria who recently succeeded to power In Hungary following the overthrow of Bela Kun, has resigned. The archduke Is a Hapsburg and his accession made it look as if the Hapaburgs would soon be in control again. But the social Democi-ats appear to have made it too hot for those who would again set up the old regime and Joseph has stepped down ? The first pre-war tariff measure ostensibly aimed at the Germans; but really for the benefit of certain American manufacturers, was passed by the house a few days ago 171 to 182. It p was a very heavy duty on tungsten in aii Ho fnrmR - and the effect will be to give the American manufacturers of tungsten steel, and other commodities in which tungsten enters a monoply of the market. There has been no duty on tungsten heretofore. ? For each man transported overseas in British vessels, the United States government \ will pay Great Britain $81.75 under an agreement reached between Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of transportation in the war department, and Lord Beading. representing the British government Secretary Baker, it is learned, has approved the agreement, which Axes a price a little more than half that tentatively put toward by the British at the beginning of the nego tiatlons. The total cost of the Br'tish tonnage vsed in troop transportation is estimated at $88,757,250, the number of men carried having been 1,027,000. Similar negotiations are in progress with the French and other governments. ? A meeting of the state pension ;v board was held in the offices of D. W. i McLaurin, state pension commissioner Wednesday morning. It was determined to' begih enrolling all Confederate veterans September 1 who have previously been on the pension rolls. The commission during the year has placed on rolls about 3,000 who have not heretofore been on the eligible lists. The number to be enrolled will ? be approximately 7,700, exclusive of the 8,000 already enrolled. Statistics show that there are In the state today about 4,000 veterans living and about <8,800 widows. Enrollment forms were also outlined and accepted by the board yesterday. Members of the board are: D. W. McLaurin, commissioner. Columbia; John Ahrens, Charleston; L. F. Hair, Barnwell; George M. Hannah, Cross Fill; J. E. Craig, Chester: James C. Sellers, Setters; *W. Y. Fair, Newberry; and D. R. Flenni Ken, Columoia. ? The story of a strange moonshlning case has come to Washington from Montgomery county, N. C.. says a dispatch from fhe fonper city. W. H. Hill,- of the Little Riverysectioh, is out on bond, charged with making liquor. Messrs. E. R. BroVn , of Hemp, ,Revenue Offiqpr R. H. Shuplng, feting as hif deputy, and T. W. Manness, justice of the peace, took Mr. Hill in tow and required him to put up a $500 bond. Near the Hill house fresh indications of a still were dlscoveted. The booze was located in the house. On the front porch a basket of fine things to eat was fixed up, ready to go. Mr. Hill was asked about this. He said that he was on the verge of going to the Primitive Baptist convention association meeting the next day. He begged the officers to let him off until be attended it. The bond was given, and Mr. Hill went his way, to the meeting. ? The refusal of a number of troops to embark from Southhampton for i France for fear they would be sent to Russia is the sensation of the day in London, according to a special cable dispatch from the British capital. The men are now under armed guard but it is pointed out that It is now practically impossible to get anybody but volunteers to fight against the 1-J ThA OIIOctlAn notl LTQ 11 XT DUIBnCVlM, 1 IIP \|WVOV?V?? asked is what would be the attitude of troops if called upon to suppress international troubles, such as uprising In Ireland? The government, it is understood, will deal firmly with the matter. Complaints of lack of dis* cipilne in the conscript army have teen frequent lately and it is thought that there are agents at work to influence the minds of the men against the fighting of the Bolsheviki. In the present case the men are suspicious of the intentions of the government. They say that once they arrive In France they will be sent to Russia and as they are conscripts they vigorously object The government has * given assurance that it has no such intentions and it is obvious that some sinister Influence has been at work by which this idea was put into the heads of tho men. There is, however, a very leal hostility among the drafted troops to r,o anywhere but in France and the British empire and there is contlnua'ly growing . inclination to inquire into the motives for sending them anywhere. During the war the question arose but the young men now left in the army, the older - classes being demobilised, are throwing off restraints and questioning the why and wherefores of everything. ? There is a national organization called the Association for the Protection of American Rights in Mexico. This organization is made up principally of people who have Mexican investments or are otherwise directly or ? Indirectly Interested in American control of Mexico. Throdgh the Associated Press the association has m^de public information of certain plans of Germany in 1918 looking for ward to an invasion of the United States by a Mexican army officered by Germans. The story is based upon the statement of one Dr. P. B. Altendort, - an Austrian Pole who served with the secret ser\ ice department of the United States army during the war. Altendort represents how, in the service of the American army he went to Mexico as a pretended German fugitive. In Mexico he succeeded in ?-joining the German secret intelligence work, so he says, and there he learned all about the plan to take the Mexican army into the United States about the time of the beginning of the great German drive again9t the British and French in France. He says that he fcroke up the whole scheme by giving away information that led to the papture of some 60 or more German agents in the United States. He goes on to say thpt Carranza was a$er and abetter in the whole scheme, the Mexican president giving the conspirators all kinds of assistance. uTi+feir, civ hn after the ratifica tion of the peace treaty, says Dr. Altendorf. Germany will have effected a complete industrial organization of Mexico, and will have Mexico independent of the world in the manufacture of munitions, etc. He says also that the present plans of Carranza contemplate depriving Americans of all their holdings in Mexico and turning the same over to Germans at reduced prices. Advices from Mexico City received 7h Washington show that various groups there are demanding a change in Carranza's government and policy toward the United States. The Federation of Labor Unions at Mexico City has issued a manifesto asking President Carranza to form a representative cabinet and Immediately ad Just the difficulties with the United t States. A circular of the Liberal Con1 Btltntion Party has been published, : calling on adherents throughout Mexico to work for a good understanding between the United States and Mexico. A group of deputies of the Mexican congress will petition President Carranza to change his policy. The Mexican Herald editorially says the Mexican government is showing a disposition to change its policy, and urges the government to listen to public opinion, which is not in favor of war. According to El Universal, opinv* HomnnHti n rom nlpfp IVJll lit .urAivv ' change in the Mexican cabinet. Un. doubtcdly the key to our present difficulties, this paper is quoted as saying. "lies in Article XXVII, of the con( stitution. especially as it pertains to petroleum. This must be faced squarely end patriotically." The paper Excelsior publishes an arficle entitled U"The Nation Has the Appearance of an Enormous Corpse." saying that * among the obstacles to better International relations are the articles of the constitution of Querentaro "so inimical to foreign capital." It expressp? t*e tvjsb thet this cause of international friction be eliminated, and says: \ "We have fought these precepts e^Sr since the constitution was promulg&t-' ecJ. since we regard them not only as unfarorable to our domestic affairs, hut es prone to create international complications. The pseudo-socialistic attempts of the constitutional convention of 1917 could not fail to bear this bitter fruit." She ^oehrille (Inquirer Entered at the Postofflce at Tork as Mai) Matter of the Second' Class. TUESDAY. AUGUST, 26, 1919. First the cotton warehouse and then adequate banking facilities. These two things have contributed more to the independence of tHe farmers than anything else. Along with warehouse and banking facilities, let the farmers have strong organization under he nest and capable leadership and the income they have heretofore been able to realize from their labon will be more than doubled. Mr. A. Somner, of R. Hbe & Co., New York, largest printing press manufacturers in the world, who is , now installing a Co* Duplex Pen'ecting preec In The Enquirer office, says that he has been erecting presses for tweuty-five years in all parts of the United States, and that not only is Yorkville the smallest town in which ne has erected a perfecting press; but he believes that this is the sm&dept '.own in the United States that can boast of a press of as much capacity ~>s the one being installed in The Enquirer office. ' ' Everything points 'to the early taking Af?p mf Mexico by the United States, either by annexation or as a dependency. Such a step will be both necessary and right, as a matter of self, defense. Not only is Mexico one of the richest countries in the world: but it is potentially one of the most, powerful. .The people have been downtrodden and oppressed by autocratic brigands as far back as anything is known of their history, and more especially since the Spanish conquest They have never known anything of liberty, and they have never had the slightest measure of ordinary justice, social, rellgjout or industrial. There is no reasonable . hope for them except under the protection of the United .States, and the Unltod States cannot afford to leave ithe country alone except as a constant menace to its own wellbeing. Cost of a Pound of Cotton. The Record receives two or three times a week, with great regularity a' batch of publicity stuff from J. Skottowe" Wanamaker, the president of the American Cotton Association, located at Columbia. The chief characteristic of this stuff is the amount of exaggerated statements it contains. The one in the Monday consignment contained the statement that it cost a.fraction over 61 cents a pound to raise lint cotton. That was so manifestly untrue that it got into our waste-basket rather than into The Record. If it really did cost 51 cents a pound to raise cotton, evry farmer in the south would have been bankrupt long ago. Certainly no win hsiievo such rot as that. A I cojton planter has recently told us ' that he could make "good" money with otton at IS cents. How could he do ;\at if it cost 51 cents a pound to raise it? We suppose the purpose of this association is to help the cotton planters. Sending out exaggerated statements is not going to help much?inJceJ, it will very likely have a reactionary elfect by discrediting the organization which fathers such exaggerations. We do not know the extent of the 'office force" of that organization at Colombia. It is certain, however, that the Hon. "Skottowe" is a voluminous writer, and evidently earns his salary. Te hardly works for nothing. Yet he is asking the newspapers of South Carolina to spread his publicity matter free of all charge. We w jnder who gets the money that the asrociation is asking the cotton planters to pay into the treasury of that organisation? We believe the planters are being asked to pay 25 cents a bale for every bale they raise as a fee for being members. With South Carolina's crop this year over a million bales, this would give the treasury of that said organization between two and three hundred thousand dollars? a pretty hefty sum. Do you think the newspapers get any of this? Not so that you could notice it. Not a word has been said about paying the newspapers for their valuable help. Without newspaper publicity the associaion would quickly die. Inde&L it never would have been born without It. It looks to us as If it was about time for the Hon. "Skottowe" to realize this fact. The waste-baskat is always very handy by the editor's desk. Who will get the money??Rock Hill Record. Just what it costs to produce a pound of lint cotton ready for the spinner we do not know. In some cases it is more and in some cases it is lesS; but averaging for the south we are inclined to think that Mr. Wanamaker is not far wrong when he Axes the figures at 51 cents a pound. With the entry of the United States into the war, when prices were much lower than they are now, a committee of farmers and manufacturers igreed that 30 cents a pound was about the right figure: and if this committee was anywhere near correct then 21 cents more is not too much on the present basis of values. That the Record's planter friend could make "good money with cotton at 18 cents," is quite possible: but we are inclined to think his circumstances would have to be especially favorable. T T~ ?/*,?1<rl Vtni'A ir\ I- lonHft hplonc nt? vvuuiu w ?? vi .% ? ?- ? ?0 ing to his Wife, UBe borrowed mules that would be fed by their owner, have his children do the labor, disperse with commercial fertilizers, beat the glnner. secure exemption from trxes of all kinds, and have the good luck to escape hailstorms, damage from insects, and other disasters. Under these conditions, the farmer quoted might make what he calls a profit at "18 cents" a pound. No doubt he would figure the whole 18 cents as good money; but we are inclined to I think that somebody else would get pretty badly hurt in the operation, just as the south has always been catching it badly in connection with cotton production. As to what cotton picking Is going to cost this year we do not know, though farmers are anticipating that they will have to pay anywhere from $1 to $2. If it shall be *2 that will amount to 6 cents a pound off that 18 cents of good money and if it is only $1 that will amount to 3 cents off. Who Is golhg to claim that picking a J cron of cotton involves anything Hke one-sixth of the expenses of getting the lint ready for the ginner? j. The outlook is the ginning Is going r to cost at least a cent a pound this year, and if we should go Into a com- Mi plete analysis of all the expenses from j breaking the land to delivering to the local buyer, we are quite sure that we R would make that 6\ cents look like minus something. ^ The fact of the matter is the south has never made a legitimate - profit 0 raising cotton; and but few If any f individual fanners have ever made a c legitimate profit in this pursuit. It is ^? a true that some cotton larmers nave rotten ahead of the world financially; p but where they have done so, It wits M either as the result of rood management In the raising of other crops ?r through reaping profits that had been y earned; but not realized by'others. We agree most heartily In the claim of Mr. John L. McLaurin that all the C cotton the south has ever raised has been sold at less than the- cost of pro- B duction, and that the cotton industry has been maintained mainly at the ex- T pense of other industries. At the same time we claim that the southern F cotton farmer has with less profit to himself, contributed more to the p wealth and piosperity of the United c States than has any other class of workers in America, R We believe that the cotton farmer is entitled to fair profit, a fair profit after Y computing expenses on the system that is used in computing the expenses of any manufacturing or other Indus* * - *- * J 1 Vx?1U?A A1aA inni enterprise, uuu **c ucnc<c ?< ? that the only possible hope he has of n ever realizing: this profit Is by organi- p zation under Intelligent leadership R along such lines as were first blazed out by John L. McLaurln and which HTC now being more or less faithfully followed by the American Cotton Association. As to Mr. Wanamakor and his propaganda stuff we have no quarrel, b Wc do not feel under any obligations with regard to the matter. He has a 0 perfect right to send it to us If he wants to and we have the same right t< to use It or reject it as we see proper. ^ Some .of It wfc consider worth while and some we don't. We handle It Just E as we do any other propaganda stuffon our judgment as to its merit with -ue regard tb the integrity, of ohr ^ news and advertising columns. We would not let him pay for anything ?( in the news columns and' we would ' not let him put anyltyhg ,ln the ad- n vertlslng columns without pay, and he Is under no more obligation to print ? In our advertising columns anything that we do not want to print is our j; news columns than we are to print In our news columns anything we do not ^ want to print' in our advertising p columns. But we have always believed in in- ^ telligent and effective organization of the cotton farmers, as much as does Mr: Wanri maker or anbody else, and h while we do not consider that such belief Imposes- upon us any obligation tP " surrender any part of the control .of this newspaper to anybody, we expect 11 to continue to do missionary work along this line as long as there appears IM*** TXTonomoIror nr onvhnHv aIra n nri T to be' reason to hope for desirable / practical results.

The board reserved its ecision in the matter, h Mr. A. L. Black appeared before the e oaitl as the principal spokesman for fi ne Adair's Ferry road. Mr. Black resented to the commissioners a paper A Igned by thirty-six of the thirty- v ight freeholders living along the rr oad granting free rights of way. He xplained that the signatures of the t thor two would be secured without b ifficulty. Other petitions bearing the ^ ames of several hundred citizens ask1ST that the route be adopted for the rest road of the county, were also _ resented the commisstcmers. Mr. (lack said he could almost positively ' ssure the commissioners that the ecessary sand for building the road h rould be donated by citizens living h long the way. V Joseph \V. Smith who spoke in bealf of the Adair's Ferry road, said c nat he had made a careful study of j_ he proposed route and found that j ixteen public roads would feed Into between Yorkville and the Cherokee . ounty line. In his opinion, it could ' e constructed much cheaper than a ? sad through Sharon and Hickory rove, it would prove of benefit to lore people and there was no ques- P" on that it was the most direct west ' 3ute. Years ago he paid not attention j! ) the location of the sun in its setting " ; ue d-d now and he noticed that the nn set almost in the west along the X' ne that the road would follow. 1: Mayor I. W.

The first seizure of the week occurrd Thursday afternoon when State !onstable S. H. White of Rock Hill, Iheyiff Fred E. Quinn an<J Constablf i. h. Johnson found a still in a paaure on the farm of Mr. Hose Norman i the Sharon section. The plant was ot in operation and the officers had a content themselves with rendering : useless f6r further manufacture of ay juice. Magistrate R. L. A. Smith, Constale Floyd StepHenson and Mr. Ed Jhilders constituted a party whe roke up two big distilleries on the ,'alvln Wylie place about a mile arias alf ncrth of Hickory Grove, at an arly hour Saturday morning. ^The wo plants were located near each ther, the owners and operators eviently being impressed with the sayig tl.at in union there is strength, leither of the plants were in opera* * - tknli* on. on when tne omceru mauc mc. ?.Kroach, but there was all kinds of evi' n :-e to lead to the belief that they rere in full blast as late as last Wedesday night and that considerable quor was made then and since turned . er to various and sundry Uquor ads for consumption. There was bout 200 gallons of beer on hand, c was not quite "right," but would ave been in another day or so. Not a sign of the owners oV operants of the plants was to be seen but Squire" Smith *hoa since secured violence which makes him almost ositive In the belief that the distiller's are .the property of several negroes f more or less prominence in Broad liver township who have long been uspected of manufacturing and sellig moonshine on a large scale. It is ot unlikely that warrants for the arest of several of thes^ parties will be sailed in the near future. Common saying has it that they make quor in any old kind of a vessel inluding wash pots these days, and roof positive of the truth of the saylg came to light Saturday afternoon rhen State Constables wnue anu ohnson came upon Amzle Wright, olored. making liquor In a washpot ear Oakland Dairy in Ebenezer jwnshlp. The pot, one of the common ast iron variety of about ten gallons' (ipacjty, was boiling merrily when fie constables made their appearance, 'here was about a half a gallon of quor already manufactured and bout sixty gallons of mash ready to e converted Into "bug Juice" just as con as the pot of limited capacity nuld accommodate It. Amzle was Itting near by, quietly watching the tew and doubtless entertaining visins of the dollars he would pour into is exchequer as the proceeds of the F?1e of his stuff to folks in Rock Hill pMirday night and Sunday. Whnn Constables White and Johnon told him to surrender because the n?*io was all up, he decided to make i?eak for it, .and there was a lively t"o chase for a few minutes. Fihe decided there was no use and uvrendered. He was brought to Jail ere along with the iron pot, while the was poured upon the ground. / Ithou^h joniewhat disappointed bese they did not succeed in getting ir?-e operators, the various officers 'ho made the four sdzures are fairly ontont with the week's work.
