rt ? Prince Andrew, brother of former
#ing Constantine, was convicted by |
c<fce courtmartial at Athe ns, Sunday, of
al tt? attuck the enemy at tin- batAle
of Sangar ion's. Prince Andrew Was
,.hi command of tlie second army corps
^atid the testimony was that instead of
pricking when ordered to do so, lie
.\\Vnt the other way. Therr^vas testimothat
if he had obeyed orders ti e re- i
fjfilt of the battle in which the ( recks J
"Wrjro disastrously defeated, would have J
b? en differ, nt. The prine< claimed that!
his orders to attack wre based ? 11 the
movements <-f the thy-d army corps,
and as it failed to turn up at ti e apjfepintcd
tinu there was nothing for him
to do but ret it t. He denied disobedience.
The 3. nience of the court was
that he l> deprived of his rani: and:
banished from the country. The |
penalty for the offense of w hich he was
convicted is death. Py way o: excuse
fur bini it was urged that he held his
high c< rfimand only because he w- sllu
/brother of the king and not by icason
/of his military litncss.

"Ids* stoutly improved physical condi- ;

-the politics of tlie Democratic party i
.during the next two years and to have ;
ft' share in shaping party politics for :
tlie next presidential campaign is in
dlcated in a persona' letter from the j
former president a few days ago to '
,F]r^nk G. Heaton of the Tampa Tribune.
"My pulses are quickened by ;
the prospect of battle," the former |
president's letter said. The letter in
.purt follows: "The 1 :sk of 1!)-1 is to
fc??*fnobilize our intellectual and moral
forces as to assure a complete defeat !
of^he party which had done the coun- !
try, so serious a disservice and to win j
fegain for our government the leadership
in the affairs of the world which
the Republicans for the time being
have deprived it. and personally I feel
Cfc'Afident this can and will he done.
Mfr pulses are quickened by the pros- '
j#ct of battle. I think with you that j
/the voters of the country have already
s^en how grossly they were misled ,
t?nd have already turned their faces
'.toward the truth."
Another migration of negroes from

?C?rding to a Cleveland, Ohio, dispatch. |
lJuring the last few weeks many negroes
from Georgia and Alabama have
gotto to work in Youngstown and
Pittsburgh steel mills, according to advices
received here while hundreds
-hYive received employment in devested.
According to William 11. Conhfers,
executive secretary of Xegro
'Welfare Association, 1,387 negro men
f?om outside the city have registered
for employment dining the last four
pgonths. Some of these returned to
their old homos during the recent degression,
but most of them had left
the south for the llrst time. "They.
Are leaving Atlanta for the north by
fie carload" Conners said. Between
aOO ami 1.000 obtained employment
iff the Carnegie Steel Company at
yournrstown, and a smaller number a.t
.Voun-'stown Sheet and Tube Company,
advices state. Hundreds have

As to whether any other man or set
of men could <lo anything: toward
building up a Republican party in
South Catollna, is more or less doubtful.
It Is pretty certain, however, that
Joseph W. Tolbert cannot tum the
trick, and in the situation as it stands i
it would seem to be just as well for
Chairman Hull of the Democratic national
committee to leave him alone.
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. As to the J (
tariff question, the Turks insist that ,
they are out for complete indep ub iie* |
and that Turkey should have as much ,
right to make her own lariff laws as |
any otht r country should have to make .
its laws. 1

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

A verdict was returned for the dcI

the Friedheim office and dressed his
injuries. Ho alleged further that on

Fricdheim's office again the defendant
cursed him and oidercd him to leave
the place.
Ho said that he had been under the
necessity of paying out a goodly sum
for physician's fees on account of his i
injuries and had found it necessary to
lose considerable time from ids work.
Ilis back still pained him as a result of

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.

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

nnr.K HILL DISQUALIFIED.
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.
The following Columbia dispatch of '
aturday relative to the committee's
ctlon will be of value to those who
re interested in football:
"Rock Hill High school yesterday was
charred from participating in the
emi-final games to determine which
earn will represent the upper part of

luimpionship football clash under the

"The committee discussed the matter
horoughly and decided that for the
?est interest of high school sports all
ivor the state it should put Its stamp of
llsapproval upon such action. Nims
ras receiving free hoard while playing
n the Rock Hill eleven and this was
onstrued by the commiltee to be 'valuable
considerations' and against the
ligji school league rules and laws.
"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

"Tho meeting of the committee,
vhieli was begun Friday night and adourned
yesterday afternoon, was called
specially to consider the protest of
kV. C. Taylor, superintendent of tho

5hockley of the Hastoc school, Sparunburg,
at the request of the commltee,
was made public:
Statement of Committee,
" 'The executive committee unanim>usly
voted to exonerate the Rock Hill
school officials, the trustees and those
dtizens who received Douglas Nims lno
their homes as a guest from any inention
to violate the eligibility rules of
he State High School league; but
vhereas such entertainment is contrary
to the policy and laws of the league,
he committee voted to sustain the procst
against the said Douglas Nims ac ording
to Article 6, Sec. 8, of the conititution.
The article and section reads:
"Xo one shall take part in any athletic
:ontest in this league who has ever
;ompeted for money or valuable conlideration
other than prizes.'
"This committee ruled that being
hus entertained constituted receiving
valuable considerations' whether or
iot such intention existed in the mind
if those who furnished him entertalnncnt
in their homes or i the mind of
he boy himself. The committee showd
no disposition to caJt any personal
eflection on the, character of Douglas
si ma.
" 'In taking this action of a technical
haracter, one of the impelling motives
eading the committee was to establish
. guide for the handling of future cases
s they may arise before local school
.uthorities or may be brought before
ho executive committee. 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.
" 'The committee deplored the tenency
of ill advised supporters of the
chool teams of their respective towns
> rush in'-o print and give publicity to 1
amors or town talk as if facts withut
first having submitted their flndigs
to school officials for their aprovnl.
This was in reference to tho
eneral disposition all over the state
ither than in reference to any special
ise.'
