No. 112. Filtered at the unatofTicc ut Fort Milt.S. C.. a* ( moll matter of the second clan*. THURSDAY. JULY 29. 19ir?. ' Wanted?A Roller Mill. j There is perhaps no enterprise | or industry more needed by the I farmers of Fort Mill today than \ a roller mill to take care of the 1 Krain which has been harvested ! in the township this year. Fort | Mill farmers, like the farmers i of other wheat-growing sections J increased their acreage to grain ( this year and have harvested < fairly good crops. The thresh- i innr i? olinnl nvprnnrl tho fnrmpr ( wants his grain made into flour. I5ut to get this done he is compelled to make a two days' journey to a roller mill over in North Carolina. Fort Mill has an ideal 1 brick building?the old White gin house on Academy street? ' for such an enterprise, and with k cheap power to operate such a ' plant, it does seem that should 1 anmo nno ;i Illicit n mill thprp ' he would find plenty of patronage 1 to make the investment a paying one. V The way the warring nations accuse each other of atrocities of every kind makes one think 1 of a lot of boys quarreling and calling out to each other, j "you're another." bonie lolKs spend so much time telling other folks how they would settle the European, Mcx-'1 ican and other muddles that they : forget to settle their account with the grocer, butcher, and i especially their home paper. < i The most sensible course theStateof New York can take with Harry Thaw is to abide by the decision of the jury and let the man sink as far as possible into oblivion. The odor of the ca.se has been rank and nauseating j;I1 the way through. At their recent great convention the Christian Endoavorers showed that while they believed in peace they did not b?-lieve n peace at any price. The unanimous vote of approval of and confidence in President Wibon for the way he is conducting the I horny international relations, clearly proves that, and thatj vote expressed the well-nigh j unanimous opinion of the nation. We all want peace, hut that peace which is gained at any ' price is apt to be a peace marked with dishonor. !l The Thaw case seems as though 1 it would last as long as the 1 celebrated case of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce so well known to all the readers of Dickens' "Bleak | House." Naturally poopie had J the idea that when the jury pro-j( nounced Thaw sane that would , end the matter, but they were mistaken. Prohahlv if Thaw were a poor man instead of being , wealthy his troubles would have ended one way or the other years ago. The expenses of the various trials and other pro- , ceedings have cost the public and the Thaw family a large fortune to the great henefit of the lawyers engaged on both sides. Sometimes it is a misfortune to be rich, although it is hard to get a rich man to admit it. ll mm Keeping the Record Straight. The following communication, Jated "Fort Mill, July 21," and signed "Record," appeared in Friday's State: "Just a word or two, if you please, to keep the record straight. In The State of today there appears a communication relative to the monuments in Fort Mill in which the writer has fallen- into error in stating I that 'this monument (the negro monument) was erected byCapt. White and is one of the four erected by him.' There are four monuments in the little park in this place?the Confederate soldiers' momument, the monument to the women of the Confederacy, the Catawba Indian monument and the monument to the negro , slaves who stayed at home and ; worked while their owners were j away fighting to establish the Confederacy. Capt. S. E. White nrprlpd frnm lii*; nrivntn inr.onc the women's monument and the slave monument. The Confederate soldiers. monument represents a considerable partnership. On the monument ".here are the names of a hun-1 ired or more veterans, and I am informed that each name was! out there in consideration of ?5 by the veteran himself or a kinsman. In this way perhaps more than half the cost of the monument was collected. Capt. White supplied the balance. Capt. White and the late J. M. Spratt jointly erected the Catawba Indian monument, each ?ontributing half the cost of it. I am told by one who knows." If It Be War. Within a few days or weeks the United States may be at war with the empire of Germany. It is a prospect that the people should be^in to face.

The destruction of the Leelanaw aggravates a relationship already tense. In itself, it may ar may not bring on hostilities, rhat it is the last straw one can not yet declare. If war there shall be, let us ipproach it with full understanding of its seriousness. Let is look straight forward to the fact that it may last six months ? or six years.

What will befall no one can foresee. The German navy, except its submarines, is at [(resent confined. No human probability of early assauit on our shores cau be entertained- but hat is a consideration to be disnissed as impertinent to the gravity of our undertaking. If the United States be dragged into war with Germany, let it be the resolve of our people that their country will triumph. Let them emulate the example of the Germans themselves, of their >neness in the presence of danger, of their unselfish willing1 1 n r - - i ucr>n iu iiu/.aiu uiKir ait ior me Fatherland, of their complete forget fulness of private feud ind faction, of their intelligent Jnd terrific concentration of energy of arm and brain and property on the object before them, victory over their enemies. - The State, Tuesday.
