J | If any of our readers still , cherish hopes of an early peace, , they should be discouraged by , recent utterances of leaders up- ( on both sides of the tremendous j war now raging. In every offi- > cial document, or speech, deter- | mi nation to fight on and faiHi in 1 the ability to fight on is evi- , denced. Notwithstanding the ( great toll of suffering and death , ^ i 1 1? I 3 !i. tnat nas aireuay oeen causeu, u j is probably only ? small part of ] what lies ahead. < Ijord Kitchener, England's | war minister, recently was asked | as to the length of the war. His ( reply was about like this: "I . don't know when it will stop, but it will start next May." In < other words, as far as his plan | of action was concerned, the bat- , tie proper would only be com- | menced nine months after the imitation of fighting. If it takes nine months to start, no one can foretell the date of its end. On January 21 the French government issued an official summary of the past several months' fighting, and in it said: "The uerman onensive nas neen pro- , ken; the German defensive will j l>e broken in time." And the ? thoughtful can speculate: If it < took six months to break down j the German offensive, which the | Germans are not prepared to ad- ] mit, even though in numbers it was inferior at all points of the battle line,how much longer will it take to break down a scientific and carefully prepared line of defense? Here, too, it must be , remembered that, save for East | Prussia, the German line of de- < fensive strength has not been i reached by hostile troops. I Then from the German stand- i point: Lieutenant-General von ' Palkenhayn, who was minister j of war and chief of statV, hut is | only the latter, recently declared ] that Germany was prepared and i able to fight indefinitely. An- i swering the assertion that Ger- ( many needed men ard would ] soon be helplessly outnumbered, i he pointed out that t lie troops < of li>15, which would usually be ] called in October, had not yetlj been summoned, and they would ] amount to HCO.OOO men. So it goes. Our effrly esti-11 mate was that, unless some extraordinary event interposed the war would last from two to, four years. The only change we 11 would now make is in the latter j figure, and would write it, from two to six years. Maybe long- ( er. -Times and Democrat. . - * 11 Hogs vs. Cotton. Says a Chester correspondent of the Columbia State: *'A colored farmer living in Rossville township recently - brought one hale of cotton and * L i r ... I one nop, p>t*i>nrt*n lor mnrKer, to Chester, which he sold as fol-1 lows: "The hale of cotton for $28,1 | the hop for $88.15. With the lat-1 tter he paid a balance due on a pood young horse. "Another colored farmer, Leonidas Ware, living near Rod- : man. had two hogs, which, after , they were killed and dressed, > . TO I veighed 708 pounds. This, at 1 cents, would be $77.88. 'The cost of raising one large og, when properly done, is not! nore than the cost of fertilizer j ipc-d in making one bale of coton. From this the small farmer nay learn that he can more* :heaply and with a great deal; ess labor get the value of a bate if cotton cut of a hog pen tbnf*' >ut of a cotton field. Thanks the People. Editor Fort Mill Times. I have been asked by the people in the hail district to express ;heir thanks to the people of FoitMill for thei' generous re-; *ponse to their r ppeal for help issued through The Times. On last Saturday I took what had been contri' uted to these people wid wne* I arrived at the place .,ated for the distribution. ,.iiere were there the heads of! twenty-one families waiting, and everyone got some badly needed article, either of clothing or shoes. I am sorry to say, however, that not all of these negroes are entirely deserving, rheir continued misfortunes of last year seem to have completely demoralized them and the few are disposed to depend an the charity of others. As a rule though, the most of them ire doing their best to make the most of a very bad situation. One old negro, after having been given a somewhat worn, but entirely comfortable, suit af clothes, a warm cloak for his aged wife, and one or two garments each for his eight grandchildren who are dependent on ' bim, expressed his gratitude by 3aying, "Cap'n, us niggers gits biggity some times, more 'spec?ii i __ _ ? * i 1 lauy aese young niggers ana thinks dey kin grit along: widout je white folks, but when hard times comes 'long like deso, we joon fin's out whd our friends is. Wen you gits back to Fort Mill pou tell de folks what sent us iese things 'thanky' fer us and iv'en I gits down on my knees ternight 1 ain't gwine ter fergit em, no sah; I'se gwine to tell Se good Lord about dis, 1 sho is." Expressing my own appreciation of the appeal for help, [ am very truly, W. M. Carothers. Fort Mill, Jan. 22. Don't Think Much of It. Senator ,Beamguard and Representative Bradford were asked t>y a representative of The En-1 ^uirer in Rock Hill last Wednes Jay as to what they thought of tlie proposition to change the name of the town of Yorkville. The question was new to both afentlemen, and they were not prepared to express themselves fully. Neither, however, was able to see any need for a change, and neither could think of any good .rfcason. Senator Beamguard suggested that a good Btrong petition would receive consideration; but in view of the fact that Yorkville is the county seat of the county and all the people are interested, he would hardly feel justified in taking final action on a local petition. In no event did he think he would be willing to change the name of the town without submitting the question to the voters and he rather thought it would be best to submit it to the Voters of the whole county. Neither gentleman was inclined to decide the matter ofi" hand; but both seemed to have about the same views ?Yorkville Enquirer. A record cotton crop for the 1014-15 season was indicated in the census bureau's report Sat urday showing 14,907,942 running bales had been ginned pn or to January 16. Ginnings from January 1 to 16 amounted to 140,138 bales, and exceeded those of that period in any previous year. They also carried th^total ginnings beyond any previous year, exceeding the record production year of 1911 by almost 400,000 balm. York County News Items. (Yorkville Enquirer.) York county citizens who contemplate making application for appointment as notaries public, are reminded that their application must be endorsed by at least one member of the county delegation before it Will receive consideration at thfc Hands of Governor farming. As a result of the heavy rains, several bridges have been washed away in the county and others are in need of repair. Two of these bridges are over Crowder's Creek whose waters have been higher at various times during the past two months ^than for several years previous. Tt i*i i-. i-L-j. ii- - i il is iiK.eiy Lnat me u?x levy for county purposes will be increased by about one mill this year, owing to the hail storm of July 6, the matter'of furnishing the courthouse, etc. Exemption from taxation of people in the hail storm district totals quite a large sum and the only way to meet the deficit in^he county's expense is by increasing the levy. Lee Howard, a young white man, was released from *the county jail yesterday, after serving a three months' sentence upon his conviction of operating an illicit distillery. Howard has been a model prisoner while in the corridor of the jail, and as stated in a recent article in The Enquirer, has greatly improved himself intellectually, by de vumig n Kuuu pctri/ ut his lime to study.
