? 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.

? 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

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*

' 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."

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.

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

to continue to do missionary work

received information from the .
ane supply officer in Atlanta, to the ^
Tect that the government had with- c
rawn Its offer to sefl O. D. and comlercial
military blankets and direct- o

THE WEST ROAD v
Advocates of the Adair's Kerry road, s
hich they would have designated as
le official Western road of York
ounty, appeared before the county c
oard of commissioners in the courtouse,
yesterday morning to present R
tie claims of the route they want. a
Icre than 100 people living al ng the Y
dalr's Kerry road and oti.crs in?rested,
attended the meeting and a ?
umber of them presented forceful v
rguments why the route should be f'
dopted. 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. Johnson of Yorkvllle, c
aid that he had canvassed the busi- 1
ess men and other people of the town
retty thoroughly and had found that j
'orkvllle endorsed the Adair's Ferry, y
oad as the official west road of the a
ounty almost to a man. * i
Several other speakers called atten o
to the fact that Sharon and
[ickory Grove are traversed by a '
ali' oad and that there is a fairly g
ood 'oad leading from Sharon to r
'orkvllle. Because of its poor condl'on
people living along the Adair's ,,
'erry road between Yorkvllle and the t
Jherokee county line are almost cut
flf from Yorkvllle, their principal mar- 1
et and are also without benelit of a 1
ailroad.

AFTER\JHE BLOCKADERS.
Four illicit distilleries were capturec
>y ofileers operating 4n various secions
of York county during the pasl
/eek and one alleged operator, Gile<
Vright, a oolored man, was als<
aptured in the act of making booz<

thereof, township, county anc

ills and hollows in quest of booze
nd booze factories. Although thej
ic-stroyed four distilleries last wee!
nd succeeded in catchinj one-allegec
p.rator, officers who effected the
eizures have expressed disappolnticnt
over the fact-that they were unble
to take considerable quantities ol
ooze and the operators along with the
lunts. At least, in one Instance the
fficers delayed destroying a distillery

re re not present when the discovery
.us first made would later cpme upon

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

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,

Not a sign of the owners oV operants
of the plants was to be seen but

violence which makes him almost

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

was poured upon the ground.

To Meet Cherokee. w
At the road^ meeting of advocates of Y

terday, Supervisor T. W. Boyd said f
that he expected to arrange a meeting v
with the Cherokee county higfcWy
commission at an early date to decide *
upon a meeting point for the highway
of York and Cherokee counties. There,
is a persistent story to the effect that ~
the Cherokee county' authorities have,
already decided to meet York county A
at Piedmont Sprihgs; but the supervisor
said yesterday that the matter n;
had not been decided upon. J. Boy n;
Pennell, state highway engineer of V
Columbia will probably come to York II
county soon to fro over the tw"0 pro- ci
ix>sed routes for western York and p<
will also inspect other ioadways in
the county. B

that it was of incendiary origin al- w

about 10 o'clock a careful Inspection T
