THURSDAY. JAN. 28, 1915. (
A Long War rtiicoQ. 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- (

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

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, >

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;

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 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.

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
