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

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

Lessli*. of Catawba township,

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.

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

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

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

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
