As producers and builders the American people excel all previous civilization and we are a present-day marvel in business efficiency, but in dealing with foreign countries we are a sorry lot of traders. Ever since Wm. Penn traded the Indians a handful of trinkets for what is now the State of Pennsylvania, the American people have been selling their birthright to foreign ers for a mess of pottage, so to speak. We export over $50,000,0(H) of cattle and their products per annum, which feeds the nations of Europe, and our American heiresses spend a similar sum in buying and maintaining counts, dukes and titled peerages. These foreign noblemen are, as a rule, absolutely worthless?in fact, become a perpetual liability?for it costs more money to operate and keep them in repair than it does to run our cotton mills. European royalty puts the black sheep of its families on the block and our rich American girls buy them and we virtually exchange railroads, wheat fields i :n: r > iu cinu minions oi uonui s woi lii ox products of farm, mine and factory for titled paupers who could not be resold for any sum. It does not require foreign treaties, a fleet of warships or tariff revision to stop this enormous loss. It needs only common sense in the homes of the rich. The Federal department of labor has established a Children's Bureau to teach parents how to care for children and has just issued a booklet on "Prenatal Culture" which is for free distribution. For some time Uncle Sam has been paying considerable attention to the improvement of hogs, chickens and livestock, as well as teaching us how to raise pumpkins and potatoes, and it is encouraging to find attention now being turned toward improving the human race. Whether the Eastern war has to do with the much delayed work of installing Fort Mill's waterworks system has not been explained. It is notable, however. that interest on the bonds for the purpose has not been held up on account of the European muddle. Just what can be accomplished by an extra session of the Legislature at this time further than to put the State in a financial hole is a question which many people are unable to answer. The article on page one of The Times headed "Farmers Now Sure of Average Yields" should have been accredited to the Charlotte Observer. A third primary election for the nomination of a candidate for the house of representatives from York will be held throughout the county next Tuesday, and all voters whose names are on the club rolls of their respective precincts are entitled to vote in the election. T. F. Lessli*. of Catawba township, and Samuel N. Johnson, of Yorkville. are the candidates to he voted for. Late War Newt, An official statement issued in Paris at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon declared the German army was fighting: a defensive battle along: its front from Noyon, on the Oise, 14 miles northeast of Compiegne, to a point north of Verdun. This would in1 dicate a battle front of approximately 110 miles, with the extreme we9t 55 miles northeast of Paris. The German staff early Wed> nesday reported the situation on the west front still "faborable." . It was adeed that the Allies had ' not won a victory at any point on the whole front. A Berlin report that the German emperor will go to the scene of operations in East Prussia was published in Paris. I An official statement issued at ! Vienna declared that the Servian invaders of Hungary have been | defeated along the whole line. According to advices received in Rome, probably from Austrian sources, two Austrian armies in Galicia have effected a juncture 32 miles north of Przemysl. i m Fewells Get $3,000 Verdict. The case of R. E. and J. B. Fewell against the Catawba Power Co., which consumed all of last week, wa^ concluded Saturday, the jury finding for the plaintiff in the sum of $3,000. This case has been in the courts for some time and has an interesting story. It was first brought to trial at the April term of court, 1913, and resulted in the plaintiff winning a verdict for $2,000. Judge Frank B. ; Gary, before whom the case was ' tried, ordered that the plaintiff i should accept a reduction in the verdict of $800, or a new trial would be granted. The plaintiff decided to take a new trial, and the dase was heard at the September term of court of last year before Judge Geo. E. Prince. At the close of the plaintiffs' testimony in this' trial, a nonsuit was granted by Judge Prince and the case was taken from the jury. Later, however, Judge Prince found that he had granted a non-suit on a mistaken condition of facts, and resoinded his order, the case being left in . the status it was before trial. The case was tried for the third time last week, the trial consuming four days, and the plaintiff winning a verdict for ; the amount stated above. The (defendant's attorneys made a I motion for a non-suit but this S was refused by Judge Efird. Notice of a motion for a new trial was duly entered on' the minutes of the court and this motion is still pending.?York ' News. Rock Hill Firm Burned Out. Fire Thursday morning gutted 1 the Hutchison building on Main j street, occupied by the JohnsonI Powe Drug Company, entailing ! a loss of between $15,000 and $20,000. The insurance will ; amount to little more than two thirds the loss. The stock of the Johnson-Powe Drug company was almost a i total loss. The smoke and : water damaged all the stock, I while the heat broke the glass fixtures and cracked nearly all the glass chemical bottles. A small portion of the stock will possibly be in condition to dispose of at give-away prices, but the loss is almost total. The office of Dr. C. A. Mobley, in the rear of the store was totally destroyed, while the office of Dr. T. A. Crawford on the second floor was practically ruined. The offices of the Independent Real Estate Company anH nf W A nAnrrloo n?/l . . at. a^V'Uft IHP CtllVI VUHI* pany, in the second story front were not damaged to any appreciable extent.? Rock Hill Herald. A Surprise Marriage. The friends here and elsewhere of Miss Mattie Lynn Epps and Mr. Henry 0. Winded, both of the township, were pleasantly surprised at the new* of their marriage Thursday afternoon at 6 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. S.. P. Hair at his home on Spratt street, and was witnessed by a few members of the fumilies of ; the contracting parties. !m4 j* i . . v ,ylr i % ; t '; > mediately after the marriage the couple returned to the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Epp8, Jr., north of town, where they were received by their families and a wedding supper was 3erved. The following day Mr. Windell and bride were given a reception, in the way of a family,reunion, at the home of the groom's father, Mr. W. H. Windell, in Upper Fort Mill township, where the newly wed pair will reside in the future. PORTUNK* IN QROUND AND AIR. la one neighborhood in Montana government geologist* have disco* ered rut quantities of two natural resources that together will make a very valuable {riant food. Phosphate rock dissolved in sulphuric acid is a fertiliser; and at the Garnet range the experts have found immense deposits of this rock. It is in layer. often eight feet thick, and, with an average of four feet in thickness, 14,000 tons could be taken from an acre. Within sight of* the phosphate beds, 35 miles sway, rises the enormous chimney of the Anaconda smelter, and here is the sulphuric acid. Tons of the acid could be made from the waste products that go up that rtack every hour. The sulphuric acid now being wasted will some day be recovered, for much progress has been made in recent years in recovering valuable prod acta from the smelter gases, and more progress is in sight.?Saturday Evening Post.
