Mathias Erzberger, former vice . chancellor and minister of finance, was assiUsi.ir.ited today while walking through the Black forest, near Offenbcrg, Baden. Twelve bullet wounds were found in Ms body. The assailants of Herr Erzberger, two youths who accosted the politician while he was walking wuh Deputy Diez, have not yet been found. Just what was the motive is not known, but it has been definitely ascertained it was not robbery. Ei-zberger. for a long time one of Germany's most powerful politicians, had for sqme time past been the object of a violent campaign, sponsored by Pan-German circles, which accused him of being the author of the policy of the present chancellor. ?

It Is said that many thousands of Greeks have been captured. The negotiations between DeValera, president of the Irish Republic, and Lloyd George, premier of the British empire, seem to have about reached the final issue. DeValera's position was that Great Britain must recognize the absolute independence of Ii eland, and that subsequent relations between Ireland and Great Britain shall be fixed by treaty. Lloyd George reiterates that Great Britain is willing to allow Ireland complete self-government in everything even to the extent of fixing her own tariffs and trade agreements w*th other countries; but she must continue her allegiance to the crown and her loyalty to all other British possessions. Unless Ireland agrees to this without much more delay, the Var will bo resumed. In the opinion of The Yorkvllle Enquirer cotton ca,n very easily go to 20 cents and above and the general outlook for better prices is good; but still it is very well to remember that "cot-' ton is a fool." The spinners generally are short pf cotton, and financial conditions arc being shaped up so as to warrant extensive exports. Also be! cause of the boll weevil and other con1 sideratlons'the outlook is that next year's acreage will not be so large as the acreage of this year. But still if the cotton producers shall rush their holding on the market in sufficient volume to give the spinners a supply for several months ahead, prices arc likely to go down instead of up. As we sec it the course of cotton is rather uncertain for the next several months? whether it will go to 20 cents and above?but the probability is' thai much of the cotton now in the hands ' r r.? var ill hflnrr nVOP 'AO f'fntjl j before there is another crop. I Asserting the necessity for a re-ar! rangemcnt of the congressional districts in this state, because the census of 1020 shows disproportion in the population since 1010, A. S. Sal ley, Jr., is entertaining himself suggesting a proposed readjustment. According to the 1010 figures the average population ol a district should be 216,485, iind according to the 1020 figures this average has been increased to 240,532. Th< present population of the Fifth district 'is 228,640, or 11,883 below the average and consequently, according to Mr | Sal Icy, needs to be recast so as to brint its population up to its full quota. Ir his proposed scheme of re-arrangeI ment Mr. Salley would have the dls ' tricl include the counties of Cherokee ! Union, York, Chester, Lancaster, Chesi tcrfleld and Marlboro. In this ar' | rangement he leaves out Fairfield ant '! Kershaw and takes in the new counties , J of Union and Marlboro. The aggregat< ' population of this combination is 235,' I j fi ll As to just how the district shoulr be re-arranged if re-arrangement la actually necessary. The Yorkville Kn ciuirer has no definite proposal; but i does not favor the idea of substituting either Fairfield or Kershaw for anj additional territory. The Charlotte Observer, which t , month ago began, in weekly install i ments, the publication of an autobiog ' raphy of the late Wm. F. McCombs under the title of "How I Made Wil I son President," has seen proper to le the story drop, after three installment? It explains frankly that its decision ha been in deference to the protests of ; . number of its readers. In the autobi ography the writer lays claims to hav 1 ing boon the political Warwick of tin ; late president and that success wa achieved in spite of the lntter's selfish ncss, cowardice, ingratitude. Mr. Wil .. son is unmercifully belittled through i I out the whole work, and the belittlinj is done in a way that leaves an inipres 1 i i sion of good faith throughout. Tha I the Observer, which had all along beei . ; such an enthusiastic and conaisten e ! admirer of Mr. Wilson, should have be 1 gun the publication of such a work a f that of McCnmbs was <juite surprising y ' As to whether tlie McComhs story i " true to the facts we can only surmise p'jOur surmise is that it is about true t Itut we are not r.t all surprised at th 1.1 decision of the CMisorver to nacK nowi J i for oi its many tea tiers then? are man _ j who at e in a position to take the Mc 'rv? Combs story as a reflection on them1 selves, and to such this stuff Is not pleasant reading. They find even less pleasure in the knowledge that their ! neighbors and acquaintances are being so fully informed as to the nature and character of the man who had been the i object of their wcrship. If people are wining 10 ouy wucn they are convinced that retail prices 1 reajly are descending to reasonable J levels, it is for the retailer to show them visibly, emphatically, and repeatedly that such is now the case. That sentence from an editorial in . the Literary Digest embodies about as 1 fool a proposition as we often see in ( any periodical, much less a periodical of such high sounding name. There used to live in Yorkville a ) man by the nante of John Dennis, a carriage trimmer by trade, a man of fine intelligence, great dignity of character, and very much of a philpsophcr. i Among the wise and true sayings that were attributed to him was one which : ran like this: "Moses was the meekest mar, Samson was the strongest man and Solomon was the wisest man; but no one of them was able to pay their debts without money." The Literary Digest represents the people holding to the strings or ineir money bags waiting for prices to drop before they begin buying. As long as people had money they# bought, regardless of prices; but when . the supply of money was dried up by means of that infernal deflation campaign, people simply had to stop buy, ing. When the Federal Reserve system, the War Finance corporation and the Land banks restore to the circulation a fair share of the currency that has been squeezed out of it, the people will commence buying again, and not be1 fore. Mr. Wannamaker, better known, as president of the American Cotton association, has waited until almost time for the frosting of the pumpkin to make his worst break. He was the orator of the day at an agricultural meeting in York county, S. C., a couple of days ago, when he renewed his attacks on the Federal Reserve System and gave birth to the threat that unless it modifies its policies to meet his views, he "will call a national convention of farmers to discuss the advisability of a nation-wide agricultural strike." But Mr. Wannamaker may be counting without his host. The strike as lately engineered in this country, is an institution promoted by bolshevik machinery, and jhe American farmer is the last man to approach with an appeal of the kind suggested by Mr. Wannamaker. It is to be regretted, that the head of an association which, properly directed, is capable of doing much good for the farming interests, should be found making so wide a departure from the established principles of Americanism. The Observer is of a mind to make prediction here and, now, that Sir. Wannamaker will be able to make but 1 small headway with his proposed strike of the farmers, for the man to be the most disastrously affected by a strike of the kind, is the farmer, himself.?Charlotte Observer. Tho Yorkville Enquirer is in agreement with Mr. Wannamaker as to the accuracy of the financial and economic picture he h^s painted; but as to whether relief from existing abuses is to be had through the remedy Mr. Wannamaker suggests, the Yorkville Enquirer is doubtful. As the Yorkville Enquirer has always seen it, the greatest mission of the | | Federal Reserve system was to relieve | mc people OI America anu men cum prises and industries from the arbitrary domination of a private irresponsible financial group that had gravitated into control. It has never seemed right to the Yorkville Enquirer that ' any group of private individuals should bo permitted to make a plaything of the weal and woe of a whole people. That previous to the . establishment ( of the Federal Reserve System, American finance was the plaything of a small private group; centering in Wall Street is known of all men of average t' information. This group has expanded and contracted credits at will, and ' brought about panic or prosperity as ' suited its purpose, absolutely regard' less of the millions of people affected by its whims. It was the hope of The Yorkville Enquirer that the creation of the Federal ' Reserve system would put a stop to such conditions. J Within the past few years there have been many circumstances to show that the mighty Federal Re' serve system created ostensibly for the benefit of the whole people, has been deliberately turned over to this group of private financiers, with the result that the power of this group has been increased a hundred-fold, while its re" sponsibility is reduced to nothing. If relief is to be had through a strike The Yorkville Enquirer is unable *to see how; hut there ought to be some 1 way of securing relief and the people will do well to go about finding the proper remedy. i, m Fighting the Boll Weevil. t As to how much damage the boll i. weevil is going to do in this county s this year, there is no certain way of t telling at the present time; but there is - reason to hope that this damage will - not be considerable. e From the history of the invasion of s other sections by the boll weevil and - his depredations in those sections, it is - reasonably certain that there will be - more damage throughout this section g next year than there will be this year. Whether the boll weevil damage this t year is much or little, it is probable n that next year'fc ectton crop, such as it t may be. will be financed by the farm-i - ers themselves rather than merchants) s and bankers. Any sensible man ought to be able to see without half thinking, sj that the bankers are not going to put ?. i out a great deal of money on a cotton j i. crop that will be in such obvious dane gcr of destruction. And the merchant >, is not going to do any such loousn | y | thing either. -j But of couise there Is going to he a| gTeat temptation to try to produce cotton next year. Cotton has been made in this latitude in sp'te of the boll weevi , and qomc cotton will be made next year. It is possible that there will be a full crop, and for such cotton as is produced the probability Is that the pride will be unusually attractive. 3o far as most of the lower part of th:s state is concerned, cotton planting may .as well bo abandoned- The boll weevil has been getting it all and he will continue to do co. En this latitude, however, the situation is different, for unlesc provided with plenty of cover the boll weevil is likely to be killed or badly thinned ou" during the winter.. Elsewhere in about this latitude cotton planters have found that by getting the cotton crop off as early as pos slble and plowing up tiie grounu, anai nlsj cleaning up terraces, runways and j other such places, the weevil is considerably hampered. The cottoh farmers of York county are now giving serious attention to all these things. mere Mention Automobile bandits held up Supt. McCoy and Paymaster Davis Richardson, of the New England Co_l company at Morganton. West Virginia, last Saturday, and robbed them of $8,000 cash. Frank J. Pearson, postmaster at Ruby, Arizona, and his wife, were murdered last Saturday A memorial service will be held in old Trinity church, London, next Thursday for the British and American naval men who were killed in the fall of the ZR-2.

TA'- ~ i-v- ? f *r\ thn nnHMrJlI TiO Its il IUIIB wa/ WV V..W rv... perary, writes a Columbia correspondent, but there's rJways talk of who'll bo who in the arena next year. So far no hat has been definitely thrown into the ring1, but it i3 likely that politics will warm up in 1922, There's bilk already. The race of chief inte>cst next year will be that for governor. Already the people of the state are talking about candidates for that office, and it is said that a ring full of hats arc being shined up for the campaign. Several' former1 politicians have been mentioned, either by themselves, or by others, as possible candidates for the seat of the chief executive, among them Former Lieut. Governor Bctbea, Former Attorney General Peoples, and Former Governor Blease. Lieutenant Governor Wilson G. Harvey, of Charleston is being discussed as a possible aspirant. State Senator J. H. Marion, of Chester, considered one of the ablest men in public life in the statfe, las been mentioned publicly as a possible candidate. Col. Holmes B. Springs, of Greenville, formerly of Georgetown Is also one of tlio leading men mentioned in connection with the rnce for governor next year, and Major Henry ('. Tillman, of Greenwood, has also been talked of. Still another man who is thought to he aspiring to the race and to the office of governor is State Senator George C. Laney, of; Chesterfield. There will also possibly be others, but these are tho men who&c names have gained the greatest cmcyint of notice in connection with the office to be vacated by Governor Codper at the end of 1922. Former Judge Mendel L. Smith, of Camden has also been mentioned in connection with this office, hut Judge Smith stated in Columbia, recently that ho was, not thinking of running for governor; lie said he prefers to practice law. There will prolxibly he some other interesting races. Whether Governor Cooper intends to run for some higher office is a matter of some conjecture, hut a matter on which the present chief executive has maintained silence. Senator Wightman. of Saluda, famed for his ruthless attacks on statcexpendituie.s, is also allowing himself to bj mentioned in connection with politics, thougn no nas maae no uerinito announcements. His speeches during the 1921 General Assembly led to the belief that he had the political bee in his bonnet. A Successful Colored Man.?It is a well known fact that The Herald and News delights in making note of the rise of any Newberrian, at home or abroad, and we like especially to "pick them up" away from home, knowing that such always is good news tod those at home. Naturally most of such notices arc about white people, but occasionally it comes our way to commend a colored man, and it is also a well known fact that when such is the case this newspaper expresses its convictions, as the paper likes to speak well of people. In 1886 Fred Rutherford, who is visiting relatives here, left Newberry to make his home and fortune in Florida. He had worked eight years 'for the late Judge Y. J. Pope, and the after years of his life showed that Rutherford had instilled into his character some of the manliness of his courtly employer. He had been and was doing well here, but the call of Florida's balmy air and scented flowers was strong and he went to Orlando. He has been here twice before on visits since the present time, and the last visit having l>eer in 1891. He was of small size when leaving Newberry 35 years ago, but look at him now and you will see quite a change in his build. He has grown to lit. n man of commandimr armear ance, and his bearing: shows that he is prosperous as well as a citizen ot' standing1 and rating in his community. Rutherford owns an orange ( grove in Orlando, and we take pious- j lire in mentioning his visit to his relatives and friends in his old home city of Newberry, where by his conduct and de|H)rtinent he is proving himself to lie a man of good breeding and liv- ) ing.?Newberry Herald and News. ?

The ioad will take the old Howell's Ferry route to Yorkville and according to a new survey will strike the Cotton Belt road at a point near the residence of C. M. In man from whence it will proceed post the 'town water station and tho county jail up West Lil>erty street to the county seat. This provided the town will take care of the expenses of construction within the corporate limits. A number of farmers living along tho Howell's Ferry route attended the bearing held in the commissioner's office Friday evening and made an offer equivalent to more than 500 day's work with teams in the event the Howell's Ferry road was selected. No. [advocate of the Sutton's Spring rnrid which had also oecn suncjcu, present Senator John. R. Hart said that as a citizen he wished to request the county board of commissioners that the chaingang end of the work b3 started in front of the county jail which is within the corporate limits of the town. It would cost several thousand dollars to build the road from the jail to the corporate limits and the town did not have the money while there was no law that would prohibit the chaingang beginning1 work within -the town. The commissioners did not commit themselves but the understanding is that they are willing to help the town on the town's end of the work, with the town paying the expense. WITHIN THE TOWN ? The advisability of looking to bored wells for a local water supply is well worth consideration. ? The bringing of the West road into West Liberty street would make available several additional building lots within the corporate limits. ? That ordinance which prohibits the turning of cars along Congress street between Madison and Jefferson, is a good one, and it is about time to commence its strict enforcement even against non-residents. ?
