? An American brigade for service
In the Lithuanian army has been
formed, the work being; a complete
success, according to an announcement
made by the military mission of
the Lithuanian delegation to the
peace conference. Enough demobilised
American officers to form the
staff have applied for commissions and
many discharged enlisted men have
entered the ranks, it is said. The
Lithuanian government is said to be
planning to protect me ransiew mv..
and is reported to be negotiating with
a prominent American insurance company
to insure the men along the
lines followed by the American army's
war" insurance bureau. The company's
Paris office had cabled headquarters
I for: authority to issue such policies.
Tlie American Red tross has also
Cabled officials in America for permission
to form "a medical and welfare
unit to serve with the brigade.

United States aero forces, was one

diers who fired on tho Americans, lie
declared that numerous protests had
been filed by the Mexicans against
-American planes crossing the;border
in violation of international law. These
.protest? were ignored, said Caraza. llo
declared that American airmen cross
thd border at will* flying low, scaring
horses and cattle and photographing
Mexican territory. No effort is being
made to conceal the fact that it was
Mexican Carranza soldiers who fired
Ion the American plane.

tary confinement as an alleged spy in
Germany, Mrs. Katherine Peterson
arrived in Nov/ York this week on the
transport Sierra as the bride of Capt.
;Edwin-Ay. Peterson, of Boston. Mrs.
Peterson served nineteen months of

cape Mrs. Peterson reached Paris.
where she met Capt. Peterson, to
whom she had previously been en
gaged, fehe- first met him at Tufts
College, where she studied dentistry
under him. Mrs. Peterson refused to
give her maiden name, but it was said
that she was born in Berlin, and came
to this country several years ago and
became an American citizen. On the
outbreak of tho war she returned to
Germany, where her arrest and conviction
followed in April, 1917.
? Without a record vote, the senate
-on Wednesday after a 12-hour session
passed the bill to make possible the
leasing of public lands having deposits
?as? phosphate atad sod(the
measure, tlffe senate
approved amendments offered by Senator
Harrlp, Democrat, Georgia,
which would provide that under Clayton
anti-trust act oil companies may
not charge different prices in various
parts of the country. Another amendment,
which its author. Senator Harris,
said would cause the constituent companies
of the Standard Oil company
soon to become independent* in ownership
In fact as well as in name, was
adopted. This amendment would prostockholders
of corporations producing
petroleum and its by-products

havo been created in coi^ormance
with a court dissolution decree
or for the purpose of avoiding prosecution
under anti-trust acts. With the

adopted by the executive board
of the St. John's Missionary's Negro
Baptist Association, were made public
at a meeting at Austin, Texas this
week pt two thousand negroes and
more than one hundred white persons,
called to ,discuss the race question.
"If we are left to ourselves," the resolution
declared, "we will, in time, ad
Just all our differences, for the good
of all concerned." The Negro Baptist
Association which called the meeting
has a membership of 20,000 negroes in
eleven counties in the vicinity of Austin.
A portion of the preamble to the
resolution declares: "Those magazines,
newspapers and periodicals, .published
by negroes, that magnify the wrongs
and minimize the good, that publishes
and brandishes before the eye incendiary
articles at this time is an enemy
rather than a friend of the race."
Negroes of Austin say the meeting is
{ > the beginning of a nation-wide move*
racnt to establish a better understanding
between the races."

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1919. t
President Wilson's proposed con- a
fercnce between labor and capital will 1
probably be held during the first half
of next month. . v *
As was probably understood, the 1
tardiness of the last issue of The En- F
quirer was due to changing to the new
press. We are hopeful that therl^will
be no further such delays
The golden rule reads: "And as ye'
would that men should do unto you, 1
do ye also to them likewise." Observance
of this rule would settle about
all "the troubles there are, real or iih- ?
aginary. ' 1
The street railway strike in Greenville,
lias been settled, and it is an- *
nounced that the "strike-breakers" *
brought to Charlotte "for the purpose c
of training new men" will be released 1
next week.
The cost of thdraw cotton is a very
small part of the cost of cotton goods. (
- r
Almost everybody who handles a pound
of cotton gets more n$t profit out of 1
it than does the famber who raises it.
m t i
Parisian hotel rates have been advanced
to from $20 to $100 a day, and
of course' Americans continue to go to 1
Paris. With other things in propor- ^
tion it will not take the French a
great while to change the financial 1
equilibrium.
There are few people in this country
who do not stand to be benefited by the
success of the American Cotton association.
There are none who would be ;
seriously inconvenienced by the small
membership fee required. There are
none to be hurt by membership, and if j
the organization does not come up to f
expectations there arc none who will .
have occasion to regret on account of J
having tried. On the other hand if|f
everybody will give the . movement
proper support, it cannot fail. It will
be worth all it coats and <nore even
if it makes gt)od ohly in York county.
One of the most important needs of
the cotton producers is a sufficient
amount of warehouse room to take
care of the cotton crop. It is important
too that these warehouses be
owned in the south by interests closely
identified with the cotton producers.
It is not desirable to have the south's
cctton crop under ali-.n control
that will be able to withhold statistical
and other information of importance
to producers. Also there will be tremendous
gain to the cotton producers
if they can secure home ownersliip of
the wa-ch'ouses so as to have the storage
.money kept at home.

Hon. J. Skottowc Wannamakcr, a
president of the American Cotton As- j,
sociation is hot after congress to t
make the department of agriculture a
immediately investigate and report on ^
the abandonment of cotton acreage.
Experts of the American Cotton Association,
it seems have through careful t
investigation arrived at the conclusion
that this abandonment amounts to not '
less than 9 1-4 per cent. The agricul- g
tural department is managed more for J.(
the benefit of the speculators and spln-i^
ners than for the benefit of cotton pro/i^
ducers and acreage abandonment fig*
ures arc held back until it is too laf jn
for the producer to get the benefit vr- or
Ies3 he still has his cotton. The pu^i- hs
cation of these figures now would ?ve r0
a material effect on the prise of ccp-on. -p,

THE ^WESTERN ROAD
Some flftv or sixty citizens of West
ern York county appeared before the I
i county board of commissioners last
Wednesday relative to the route of the
! official western road of the county,
several hearings on which matters
, have already been held- Following
the meeting the board announced that
* no decision na to the route would be
announced until it had consulted with
J. Hoy Pcnnell the state highway eni
gineer and Mr. Pennell had gone over
j the proposed routes.
Advocating the Hickory GrOveSharon
route were Dr. J. H. Saye and
r Mr. \V. R. Wilkerson who declared that
f a. route leading through those towns
t would serve a wide section of county
- which had never bedn benefited from
s the work of the chaingang and roadwork
generally in proportion to the
f amount of taxes that they have paid.
r The speakers admitted that the road
j to tho Cherokee dine by this route
s would bo considerably longer and
- would cost more to build but that it
. would serve many more.people.
The rtnitc as proposed by the Shar
ron-Hickory Grove delegation con,
templates taking the Adair's Ferrj
a road out of Yorkville to the R. L. Wilkerson
place, leaving thence southwest
to the .Howell's Ferry road al
Black's ftill; thence west over thi
Howell's Ferry road to R. B. Hart nest
d place, thence south by way of R. M
i: I\ Robinson's to Sharon, thence bad
into the Howell's Ferry road at.th*
Libby Byers place, thence to Hickory
ia Grove and thence to the Cherokee lint
il. either at the Broad River bridge 01
t- at Smyrna, Mr. Wilkersoh especially
emphasizing the river bridge route. ,
le Messrs. W. B. Moore, J. M. Star;
. and A. -Tj. Black argued t^o Adair':
to Ferry road as the most practical rout<
to the' Cherokee line, saying that i
n could be built' at a much less cos
than"a road through Hickory Grovi
cr and Sharon, that it was considerably
shorter and would serve a larger tcrri
tory in addition to being a more west,
em route.
1(1 It was argued that the dcsignitloi
1V of the Adair's Ferry road to connec
| with Cherokee at Smyrna or Pied
mont Springs would serve a section o
n country that has been without th
bcnellt of any county road work at a
^ and that It would open up a countr
,. that has ne^er known anything bu
1 roads of the very roughest kind.
