It Is pretty certain, however, that Joseph W.

Confirmation of Tolbert would evidently not help the Republican party and. if the party should turn him down it i might be helped. The Lausanne conference between the Allied powers and mo iuiks nus been slowed up because of the determined stand oi' the Turks 011 the question of so-called "capitulations," and the right of the Turks to make their own tariff laws. By capitulations is meant the privileges of foreigners in 1 Turkey charged with violation of Turkish laws to be tried by their own courts 1 instead of Turkish courts, and the tariff question involves the insistence of 1 foreigners that Turkey must not beal- ' lowed 10 levy exceeding 11 per cent on ji imports, while Turkey insists on the t right to make her tariff taxes whatever 1 she sees proper to make them. The I Turks hold that if foreigners arc not willing to submit to Turkish laws while in Turkey just as Turks; must submit to the laws of foreign countries in which they may happen to b", the foreigners should stay out of Turkey. All the Allied powers, including the Cnited States, are holding to the view , that foreigners cannot afford to submit to Turkish laws, claiming that as these laws are so closely bas'-d on the Koran, j | Christians cannot be govern* d by the m. , The Turks insist that their laws have j no connection with religion.

Peanuts. While The Yorkville Knq'ulrcr hopes :o see widespread emulation of the ?x[>eriment of the Clover Peanut Crown's' association in the raising of p?aluts, it hopes ttiat no individual and no ieetion will po wild on the subject. I'non the first appearance of the bell weevil i" the lower part of the state Liu- people of Colleton, Heaufort, Jasper and other counties went headlong nto peanut growing. At planting 1 me ' i good quality of peanuts was worth . n the Virginia markets $120 a ton. Many of the farmers planted HO to 7.1! icrcs each and they made bumper j crops; but owing to the state of the I market at harvesting time peanuts were not salable at fill. There were- no oil mills in that im- ; mediate section affording a market for j peanuts; hogs and cuttle were scarce md the crops rotted in the fields in Treat piles. These conditions may come again and then they may not; but at any rate it is well to handle the matter conservatively. In the first place no. farmer should j pal all lit! has into peanuts, and in the i td'Oiul place, he should be prepared in 1 use the crop is not salable at a satis- | factory pries- to feed it to hogs and j rattle. To do this profitably h<- must have a reasonable number of hogs and utile on hand to take care of his sur- j plus. Th'e best way to handle peanuts, it Stems HI us. IS III mui\ itiit'i im , urinic of the necessary livestock. Then jilant with reference to thj livestock rather than the market; hut taking I care 1o produce rather more than less | tli.hi the livestock can use. This will ensure the saving of niosl of the peanuts whethc i they shall he salable or not. Then also peanut oil is marketable at a good price and as the supply of cotton seed is diminishing eaeh year, the mills .will gladly look to peanuts with which to supply the deficiency. Uy ull means let us raise peanuts; lots of them hut don't let us take any chances ol' having them rot on our hands. ? Attorney General Daughcrty has made public his reply to Ihe impeach- I ment cha'ges filed against him with the house judiciary committee by Representative Keller, Republican, of Minnesota. Answering in turn each of the 14 specifications included in the charges, Mr. Da'ugherty says that the purpose of the impeachment proceedings is obviously to protect certain grafters and profiteers who have defrauded their government by seeking to discredit the iittorney general and also by trying to force the government to disclose cerlain evidence and information on which it is relying to convict these grafters and profiteers. He makes light of the various charges that have been brought tgainst hint; and | expresses confidence that he will be able to vindicate himself in all the specifications that have been alleged against his office. ? A statement of formal charges by Representative Keller, Republican of Minnesota, setting forth fourteen specific grounds on which he seeks the impeachment of Attorney General Daugherty has been submitted to the house judiciary committee which met vestorday to consider the charges. Mr. Keller's statement was accompanied liy a letter to Chairman Volstead in which he declared the specifications 'set. out and I am prepared to prove that the said Dougherty is guilty of crious misconduct in office" and of high crimes and misdemeanors in 1! artictilars. If any of the grounds set forth "can he said to he more importirt ilia 11 any other," Air. Keller said in hi_! statement "it was that group renting to the refusal and neglect of the aid llnirv A1. Dougherty to eiil'orci tie anti-trust laws of.the railed States of America.," Alleging as an)ther ground that tlie Attorney fJeiieril had appointed "untrustworthy, cornpt and dangerous men." to high ofiee, ATr.

Rough weather during the past few days has somewhat retarded their progress. ? A black horse the property of It. T.

It was not stopped until it had torn up . the buggy to which it was hitched. The horse was uninjured. It is claimc-d the horse was frightened by a passing automobile. ? The weather yesterday was ideal for horse-traders and as is generally the ease on first Monday for December, there wore a large number of them with "plugs" and "good 'uns" here. Considerable trading was done, most of the traders being even swaiw since there was little cash in evidence. The eating houses did a good day's business because of the presence of the horse traders. Most of the hack lots were pretty well filled during the day and it was not until late last 5 evening that the last of the traders 1 had left town. 1 ? Citizens of Yorkville have 105 hogs to kill this fall and winter according to statistics gathered by R. E. Montgomery, inspector for the board of health. Mr. Montgomery has recently inspected all of the hog pens in tho town and incidentally has counted the number of hogs in the pens. His count of 195 of course does not include all the little pigs; but he counted only those pokers large enough to kill for meat. He estimates that the 195 hogs will average 166 pounds each. The total meat supply raised by citizens according to his figures, is 32,650 pounds. ? The "curb market" or "country store" conducted through the agency of members of the Woman's home demonstration clubs; Miss Lula Smith, president, has moved its quarters from the porch of the old Rose Hotel building to the store room of Mrs. J. T. Redmond just across the street. Despite the fact that Saturday was a dreary, rainy morning there were a number of people from the country who brought in produce to sell. And there were about the same number of purchasers present to buy it as c usual, sales for the morning totaling 1 in the neighborhood of $40. Regard- a less of weather conditions it is the a intention to conduct the market every a Saturday morning.

III The "Hoar Cats" of Rook Hill High school will not ho allowed to play Gafficy or Thornwell Orphanage for the ip-stato football championship. Alhough the "Uear Cats" won more *''' raines than any other school in the Ca-' awba Athletic association, they were v' lisqualificd by the football committee f the State High School Athletic as- sp ociation at a meeting held Friday and Saturday. The reason for it all was jn hat it was proved that llock Hill peo>lc had paid the board of Douglas Y( finis, star player of the Rock Hill j cam, which practice is contrary to tlie tibs of the association. Under the tiling last Saturday Fort Mill wins the vil hampionship of the Catawba associa- 'a! ion and has the privilege of playing 1 iaITney. The winner of this game may an lay Thornwell Orphanage for Uie up- *'a late championship. The winner of his game is entitled to play Charles>n for the state high school champion* hip.

"At the same'timo the committee exmerated the Rock Hill school officials, he trustees and the citizens of tho own who received Ni. .s in their homes is a guest, from an intent to violate he rules. "IJy the elimination of Rock Hill only hrce teams are left in the upper state o enter the semi-finals, Guffney, riiornwell orphanage and Fort Mill.

Although here was an exhaustive and careful liscussion of the merits of the case rom both viewpoints by members of he committee, yet there was evident at 11 times a prevailing spirit of deSire o do that which would best serve the chools of South Carolina. The decison was arrived at without bitterness r feeling on the part of any one and he spirit of willingness to have indiidual desires submerged for the good f all concerned was the noteworthy nd outstanding feature of the meetig.
