The Harding view is that With paymehts not satisfactory, exports are likely to fall off as soon as tills question is decided and therfe must necessarily be a decline in the market. ~ There is no other question coming before the .New Orleans meeting which will be more vitaJ to the people from every standpoint than this and upon its solution will doubtless de-. pend the future price-of cotton in this country this fall. $orlmU?

' If southern congressmen can secure legislation that will compell the cotton exchanges to accept deliveries of cotton from southern warehouses, the ability of the gamblers to establish -prices 011 a basis of bluff, values will be greatly curtailed. }Ir.

After all, what is the strike except a move to improve the condition of tho striker, and what is tho opposition to the strike except the fedling on the part of the employer that all advantage obtained by the striker must be at his expense? How can the striked get more unless the employer tgets less? And how can there lie an end ef such things except under a condition where bIcIph are made to feel that each side is enjoying- what it Is entitled to, no more and no less?, X.U big- wars previous to this one I grew out of the international struggle for business advantage, and this one grew out of t^e same thing.. The one groat concern, among the nations now make tor its own benefit of the economic conditions as they have been left by the war. Relatively'America has come out on top^wfth a stronger economic position witlj reference to the rest of the world. Apd just as tl\e more forward nations were the shining mark for all the less favored, now America becomes the centre of envy for.alL ' With regard to tilt state tax dommlssion, wc may as well recognize that it is the only hoije of getting equalization of taxes, and until wo secure equalization there is no justice in taxation. Of course the commission can make mistakes and of course it docs make mistakes; but these mistakes will be corrected as rapidly as possible.' The main point, the really important point is to disclose all rank inequalities. There is no hope of correcting a wrong until after that wrong has been duly located. One of the points made in the conference between the merchants and the state tax commission last Friday was this: The commission is calling upon the merchants to make return of all 'mortgages and bills receivable. One of the merchants put it up to Mr. Querry in a proposition to Ihis effect. Why should you require merchants to return their mortgages when you don't make other people return their mortgages? The answer was to tnc effect that the point was well taken, and the matter will be adjusted as soon as it can be properly reached. It is the purpose of the commission to eventually secure the return of all property, including mortgages, at true values and although it may be right to Assess mortgages on a somewhat different basis than other property, they will be assessed equitably. Of course the peace treaty is not going to settle the war. It is foolish to a Kirkrr Thni'A i w nnhnrlv CAJJtVV OUVII u. A UVi V ? satisfied with the treaty. ITow could anybody be satisfied with such a general compromise? But it is the best that can be done and we may as well ratify it. The nations will continue to quarrel just as individuals will continue to quarrel. If it is peace they want now or in the hereafter, they can only get it through the practice of the golden rule. So far as America is concerned, she can whip anybody now, and as long as she remains as true to the principles of right and justice as she has been, her ability to whip anybody will not depart from her. America. however, will do well to remember that to her the golden rule Is about the same as Sampson's hair was to him. A delegation from the Colored American Council appeared before, the Inter-State Commerce committee of the house a'fetv days ago in behalf of the abolition of the "Jim Crow" car laws. The claim was made that the proposition was one for the regulation of inter- * state commerce, etc. It seems to us that the common sense of. both races aw whitod have no more right in coined coaches than negroes have in .vhite coaches. The whites should rertainly have a right to travel together if they so desire, and there is io disposition on the part of the whites :o deprive the negroes of trte same right. Whatever other real grievance the negro may have, this is a proposition he will do well to let alone. He svill do well to call down any fool of iiis race who persists in the agitation 3f the question. Except in the hope and belief that the expedient is only a temporary arrangement, under which the supported business will soon be able to support Itself everybody understands the cc onomic unsoundness of running one business to support another. That, however,' is tho basis upon which cotton production is established in the fouth. Following the CivJ^ War, many anti-bcllum farmers sought to establish themselves by raising cotton along strictly business lines?that is by devoting themselves entirely to cotton production, depending upon the sale''of the cotton to pay all the expense of raising and yield the same margin of profit that would reasonably be expected from any other legitimate business. It is an incontrovertible fact that tho records do not show that there was ever a single case of success. EJvcry farmer who has ever tried the experimjent has either fallen into bankruptcy, or been forced to adopt the expedient, of running one business to spppprt another. That is ho has been cobpciled to produce all of the supplies required in the raising of the cotton to a greater or less extent, and the greater the extent to which he has nrodueed- these euDDlies the greater has been hla, success. Charles M. Galloway, who with Herman W. Craven, was ousted from the civil service commission, has given out a statement carrying his version as to the reason which is to the effect that "we were not willing that the commission should be a mere adjunct of the pp$t oflicc department and subservient to it, especially with reference to examinations for presidential postmasters under the executive order of March 31, 1917." The order provides tha' Allgibles with the highest standing shall be appointed, and according to Galloway, the postmaster general wanted the discretion to. choose from among the elligibles of the highest standing. In other words, according to this statement the trouble in effect amounts tt* whether Burleson or tho civil ser vice commission snail nave tne unai | say in making: appointments. Theoretically appointments arc made only on merit; but very few practical people are able to look upon the proposition as other than bunk. The civil service commission was created mainly for the purpose of bluffing the throngs Dfty*fli*a,,;?eclccVs ,aud ;jfc-commissioner" who makes tjie mistake of thinking that he is vested in sovereign authority in the matter of appointments necessarily has to go. ? Federal amendments to the cotton warehouse act, writes a Washington correspondent, are soon to claim the attention of congress, as should be done, and this without -delay. To put the business of cotton warehousing on x stable basis and to provide receipts for cotton that will be negotiable at any bank has long been the aim of those persons directly interested in cotton, and under the amended cotton warehouse act this is likely to bdsjyjalizcd. This is the opinion of men in the bureau of markets, United States department of agriculture, who are charged with the duty of issuing federal warehouse licenses. The warehouse act has just been amended so as to permit * the acceptance of personal bonds from warehousemen and to permit the issuance of negotiable receipts, tvhen requested by depositors of cotton n the warehouse, without s:ating the itrade of the cotton. The purpose of the warehouse act is to create a warehouse receipt- of unquestioned value, ind one which will be acceptable to all bankers as security for obtaining loans/ regardless of the location of the warehouse- In this way warehousemen will furnish a receipt to their customers, which will be of the itmost value to them as negotiable papers, and enable them to borrow close to the actual value of their stored ;oods at cheaper interest rates. Thus they 'market their cotton slowly, and in conformity with the needs o^the manufacturer. The full description of :lic cotton stored requested to be stated >n the face of the receipt will enable :he owner to know the value of lus :otton apd at the same time enable ilm to market it intelligently. The proper development of the warehouse will make possible the practice of marketing the cotton crop through :hc warehouse and thus avoid the mormous losses resulting from veather damage. John G.

FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE A local organization of the Woman Suffrage party, or at least an organ!-1 zation to promote the interests of woman suffrage was perfected in Yorkville bust I-'riday night with Miss Mar- ) garct Gist as chairman, Mrs. T.

About thirty-five or forty women and ten or fifteen men turned out at the courthouse to hear Miss Lola Trax of the National Woman's Suffrage party tell what the party had done since its organization, what it is doing now, and the work it has in hand in the immediate future. The one all important task just ahead of the party is to secure ratification by the states of the Woman Suffrage amendment to the constitution which congress has recently submitted for the approval or rejection of the people. < Up to the present time fourteen states have ratified the proposed amendment and Miss Trax stated that the party is confidently expecting favorable action from at least as many iiM fhli'tv.unvon hv .Tjiminrv 1950. Miss Ttax's work in South Carolina is to secure all possible organized effort, looking to favorable action by the South Carolina general assembly at Its next session. As the outcome of the meeting last Friday night 1t was resolved tt> secure the circulation of a petition to the legislature asking for ratification, the petition to bo circulated by volunteer canvassers. ' ? CHARGE TO GRAND JURY Judge Thos. S. Scasc of Spartanburg, who is presiding over the court of j general sessions delivered a ringing j charge to the grand jury upon the I I opening of court Monday morning. He reminded the jurors that they were possessed of broad powers and that a heavy responsibility rested upon them in the discharge of their duties. It is your duty, he said, to bring to the attention of the court all matters affecting ^he welfare of the count> of York that aTr'bl*ought ^a^jfMtr attention) :una, ,it>;}n.Mm.4HUntft11m-1 \ - V vestigations of conditions generally on gi your own account and present these o matters to the court whore It Is deem- e cd advisable to do so. v He called attention to the numerous p and flagrant violations of the liquor d laws, so common at the present time p and deplored the fact that such vlo- p lations arc increasing rather than di- c mintshing. The great majority of g sentiment not only in York county, h but the state of South Carolina, and the country at large, is opposed to 11quor and it is your duty as grand v jurors and as good citizens interested 1 in your country's welfare to do every- b thing in your power to blot the nefarious t/afflc from within your bor- s ders. ' ^ He called attention to the education- j al needs of the state and declared that it was the duty of the grand Jurors to do all in their power both individually and collectively to promote the educational interests of the county. He referred to the compulsory attendance law passed by the recent session of the general assembly and reminded the grand jurors that it was their duty to assist in every way possible in its enforcement. ' It is quit? likely that the grand Jury will complete its work and be dismissed for the term some time today. In addition to Foreman R. A. Barnctt, the following grand jurors are in attendance upon the court: 1^. M. Lindsay, E. R. Maloney, C. L. Kennedy, J. M. Taylor. J. T. Walker, J. K. Scoggins, W. M. McQarter, J. K. Allison, R. L.

I WHITE MAN KILLED < Will Stein, a white man, apparently ] about 35 years of age, and believed to ' be a rcsidqnt of^the Lockliart section was shot and killed about midnight ^ Sunduy by Mr. Thomas G. Mlckle who 1 Hvpp nn the Davidson old Dlace in ' Bullock's Creek township. The killing of Stein, according to evidence at the inquest held by Magistrate J. L. buncan yesterday morning, was entirely justifiable and it is hardly probable that there will be any prosecution. An unknown man ca^pe to the home of Mr. Micklc at a late hour Sunday i^lght and stopped at the door for a few moments. He said he wanted a drink of water which he received, after which he went on off toward the barn. Mr. Micklc, becoming suspicious because of the actions of th<f stranger followed him hnd located him in the barn, where he was for some reason or other striking matches. Seizing his gun Mr. Micklc went to the door and peering into the darkness of the hallway inquired of the man what he wanted. The reply was, "I want a place to lie down." Mr. Micklc, thinking he was a negro, told the A ? 1 ---4. 1 1 stranger iu tuniu uii uui iiuu iiu ?uuiu pet him a place to lie down, intending to conduct him to thO hoiVie'df a negro living near by. Thfe man made no rrtove to come out but continued to strike matches and blow them out. "Arc you a white man or a negro?" inqutred Mr. Mickle and the reply was, "both." Mr. Mickle several times repeated his command to the strangor to come out but there was no reply, even after he had threatened the stranger with bodily harm If he did not accede to his command. He thereupon flrcd one shot from his shotgun ut the stranger, the loud of No- 6 shot penetrating his hiart and lungs and producing aimcst instant death. Upofi investigation,after the shooting it was found that the strunger was Will Stein, who It Is undcrtsood has an uncle living at Lockhart an? who had lived in that section himself.'t i~l.

In his pockets were two bunches' of keys, a pocket knife with a broken blade and a handkerchief. He was identified Monday morning as Will Htein. Whether the man was demented or drunk is not known. Mr. Mickle was taking no chances; although aecordingxto the evidence he did every thing possible to prevent the tragedy. He Immediately notified Magistrate Duncan of the affair and surrendered himself but was released upon his own rdoognizance.

Hooked up with the boiler in the mill, the steam thereby being used for the purpose of extrodiag the spirits ,'rom the mash, a distillery of ordinary jize was discovered in the holler room )t the Arcade cotton mill in Rock Hill Friday morning by Constable S. H. White and-other officers and R. E. Spencer, master mechanic at the cotton ^nill and Will DcGraflfenreid, a negro night watchman at the mill, were placed under arrest, charged with awning and operating the plant. A warrant has also been issued for 3corge Barnes, a negro formerly employed as a fireman in the boiler room whom the officers believe had some connection with the plant. Spencer Save bond in the sum of $500 and it ic possible that he will be tried at the present term of the court of general sessions. DeGraffenreid, unable to furnish bond, was lodged in jail here. Officers found the still located yi a dark corner behind the boiler in the mill, still further concealed by a number of Wgs which had been thrown ever it. Two>galIons of "singllngs", a couple of sacks of meal and a barrel ol mash were also discovered. The plant was disconnected at the time the discovery was mado and it was evideni that no liquor had been made for some time. Just how long the distillery had been there is a question over tfhlch there it nuch difference of opinion. Some officers arc of opinion that it might poslibly have been in operation for several /caps, judging by the^rusty appearance jf the pipes which were being t^sed. Spehcor claims that he knew nothing jf the distillery and that it docs not jelong to him. He says that his arrest n connection with the matter is tho csult of a "frame up" of certain union extile workers at tho Arcade mill, who ire now _n strike, in an c.lort to get jack at him bccauso he luuj, refused vu loin the unionAccording to information from Reck EMI, the still was first discovered by E.

It is alleged hat they smcllcd sour rpash and upon nvestigntion they found tho plant, irorrtptly notifying the authorities of heir discovery. Discovery of the distillery recalled to he mind of a well known young man >f Yorkville, who has often made trips o the Arcado mill during the past S"Jviral months on business, that he had a lumber of . times smcllcd a peculatar idor In the boiler room and had scv:ral times made inquiry about" the odor ind th^ contents of a barrel which he md noticed in the boiler room. lie lad been told that the barrel coutain d sour kraut.

This ofIcer said that he had once been invitd to taste a pint of blockade whisky ffcred him by one of the men alleged o be implicated in the affair. He tastd the liquor and it was moonshine orn, all right. His inquiries as to rom whence it came produced 110 inormation. That was several years go.
