IiOrd Kitchener's decision not
to allow intoxicating liquors to
be served out to the British
troops at the front is a striking
sign of the times. At one time
it u'flR thnno-ht-. thnf. n. soldipr
could not fight well unless he
was well primed with whiskey,
and a total abstainer was looked
upon as a milksop. Very different
is it now when military
chiefs, like large employers of
labor, demand that their men be
sober. They realize that for
best health of mind and body,
for clearness of mind, best skill
fn workmanship, and power of
endurance one must be free from
liquor. With them it is not
sentiment but hardheaded commonsense.
How far reaching
this view has become may be
realized when it is learned that
the Russian government has
followed the example of Lord
Kitchener and prohibits the
serving of vodka to its troops.
Standing forth with special
prominence these days is the
fact that throughout the hundred
years of peace between thh
country and great Britain the
boundary between the United
States and Canada has been

ships and guns. While it would
he too much to say that peace
would certainly have Wen broken
more than once it the horde)
had been strongly fortified, an?'
numerous war ships had plowc<
the Great l^akes. it is clear tha
they would have been a grea
provocation. What a contrast to
Europe, which has found thai
immense fleets and armies have
not prevented what is probably
the greatest war in all history.
This community is going right
on whatever may be transpiring
in other parts of the world.
Don't let your time be so taken
up reading scare heads of bat tiesfought
or unl'ought, or in settling
all the problems of the war, as
to neglect your duties to your
home town. Help it along by
word and deed. The cleaning
up of a backyard, the mowing of
a lawn, a boost for the town, and
any one of a dozen or more
things are of more real value
than sit tine on a drv eoods box
talking learnedly about what you
don't know.
Business men who would take
advantage of conditions on the
other side of the ocean to raise
the prices of food and other
articles on this side are wanting
in patriotism, humanity and
common decency. It should be
made a crime to unnecessarily
inflate prices and those guilty of
doing it should be made to feel
the strong arm of the law. If
there is no present law adequate
to deal with it, then make one
that will. It is always the poor
and weak that suffer from such
ingenious cruelty.
Good morning. Governor Manning.
We wish you mighty well,
and trust that you will not run
your office according to the
dictates of a few newspapers of;
South Carolina.

The value of money to the
individual is conditioned upon
the place it holds in one's life.
:If by making money our life
: grows better and is of greater
| use to our fbllows then we are
I gainers by the experience, but
i if money is the all-in-all with us
! we have lost out Money is not
an end in itself but is of value
only for what it can do.
Mexico has been thrown into
the background by recent events
elsewhere, but she is still on the
map and it will be just as well
not to lose sight of her. For
that matter, there is not much
danger, as it may be taken for
granted that Mexico will of her
own accord make herself heard
and seen.
About the dryest, as well as
the highest, thing in this section
is Fort Mill's waterworks tank.
For Additional Revenue.
People of the entire country
are watching with interest the
progress made with the bill now
before the national congress
proposing to raise $100,000,000
in additional revenue made necessary,
it is claimed, on account of
a big slump in customs receipts
at the various ports of the
country. To this end it has
been practically decided that
beer and wines shall raise the
greater portion of the needed
revenue and that there shall be
no tax on railroad tickets and
gasoline. Strenuous opposition
met the Underwood suggestion
for a tax on railroad tickets, the
argument being that such a tax
would antagonize the traveling
public, including an army of
commuters and commercial salesmen,
and the tax would be unwise
politically.
Members of congress are now
seriously considering a proposal
to tax magazines, and the Sunday
magazine supplements of
newspapers. It was about settled
that moving picture films,
rather than tickets to "movie"
theatres shall be assessed, but
the rate has not been decided.
Hall Declared the Nominee.
The county Democratic executive
committee met in special '
meeting at the call of County
Chairman Roach S. Stewart to
pass upon the protest of Ml*. J.
I). Potts, of Indian Land (Pleasant
Valley), against the commit-I
! tee's former action declaring his
j competitor, Magistrate Dennis
j K. Hall, the nominee for magistrate
in that township,
i The ground of the protest was
! based on certain alleged irregui
larities in the vote for magistrate
j for Indian Land township at Van
Wyck precinct. As preliminary
I matter, counsel for Mr. Hall
i made the point that Mr. Potts
| was not in a position to contest
j the election as he had not filed,
I under oath, with the clerk of
1 court, as required by section 33
of the rules of the party, at the
conclusion of the campaign and
' before the primary election an
itemized statement of all money
spent or provided during the
campaign for campaign purposes.
Mr. Potts admitted that he had
done this. The committee accordingly
dismissed the protest.

County Cotton Convention.
J. 0. Wilborn, president of the I
Yorkville Roard of Trade has,
; according to The News, issued a
call for all the cotton farmers of
the county to come to Yorkville
I ?-?
, iiiuioua.> iu aNitrmuie in mass
, meeting with a|l persons interested
in the cotton situation.
'Some plan will be devised to
help the farmers of the county.
This meeting will be held at
11 o'clock Thursday morning,
Sept. 10th. and it is hoped that!
a full attendance can be had.
We have heard it stated on the
streets of Yorkville that quite a j
number of the citizens of the
town have expressed themselves
as willing to buy a few bales of
cotton to hold until the situation
clears up. If this movement
will spread all over the county,
the York county farmers will
[receive valuable assistance at
this critical time.
