The late Eastland tragedy in Chicago river was so stupendous that even the war was forgotten for the time being. As to the tragedy itself with the awful loss " ? " - i i . i oi me, tnere is pernaps uui one sentiment, which is that it would never have happened if some one or more persons had not put profit far above human life. It is of course for the coroner's jury and the Federal investigators to determine what particular persqn or persons are responsible, and it is to be most , earnestly hoped that when the guilty ones are discovered there may be no whitewashing. That has been too often the case in times past. When the Iriquois theatre disaster occurred in Chi cago som& years ago, there was great indignation and it was conclusively shown that the managers of the theatre were to blame, but no punishment was awarded them, and the same is true as to many other disasters -A. 1 I ! ; i 1 causeu uy criminal careiessm ss. Militiamen throughout tin country are interested in th< prospect ?of Congress passing legislation at the next sessioi in behalf of the National Guard. With the active support of President Wilson assured, it is more than probable that Con gress will not only provide for a material increase in the strength of the National Guard, but will also make an appropriation to compensate adequately tin militiamen for their attendance upon drills. National lawmakers seem to have at last come to i realization of the fact that how over patriotic the average ciiizei who is willing to enlist in tin National Guard may be, it h nothing short of imposition to < xpcct him to sacrifice liis personal interests wit h.tut com pensatfon from the goven.mer in o.'der that he may lor thg neral good learn to be soldier. There is one const lution . b -tr the weather this summer; it has been so variable that as a topic fr\t* /tAneiii*'"ihiin it io i.rtoeiL'<i lo ? isi v \mi > v i oai it in I ucnn;.\; \\/ use it without wearing it threadbare, and that is something that cannot be done where the wi ather is of even quality from day to day. It is a grand thing to count up one's mercies and advantages. The European governments now at war are cheerfully piling up debts for posterity to pay, if it ever will. Perhaps those governments feel that if their predecessors incurred debts for this generation to pay, they are justified in following the ex-j ample set. What future gen- j erations may say gives them no concern. . There is good prospect that the controversy between this nation and Germany may be settled some time during the next three years. It would be Hazardous to make any other guess. The best price offered for cotton on the local market today is 83-4 cents. ????????????? Barn and Nules Burned. Report reached Fort Mill yes- e terday about noon of the burning v early in the morning of the barn s and mules of Mr. Walter Kim- h brell, a farmer living in the 0 Concord section of the county. a The barn was fired by lightning b during a storm. it could not' be learned whether Mr. Kimbrell ^ i: lost anything more than the barn * and_mules. It was also reported '? that the old Plexico mill, in the ^ adjoining section of Clay Hill, t was struck and fired by light- fi ning during the same storm and was reduced to ashes. \ Mr. Kimbrell is a son of Mrs. I t ? i.ri im:ii i l<riu.y miuuicii, ui run itiiij, j and his many friends here will j regret to learn of his heavy loss. _ Can Have Three-Teacher School. * A Trustees of the Gold Hill school have received from the State ^ superintendent of education the following self explanatory note: 11 "The reports from Bethany, Gold Hill and Mt. Holly have just been read. "For the session 1913-14, Bethany reported an enrollment of 87 with an average attendance of 63. This report for 1914-15 places the enrollment at 93 and the average attendance at 77. I am glad to see that these figures insure the status required for a three-teacher rural graded school. Conditions at Bethany for the session 11)1516 ought to be more satisfactory than ever before. "The Gold Hill community has the opportunity of maintaining a strong three-teacher school. It is a pleasure to note that all the difficulties formerly operating against this school have oeen completely adjusted.". OUR STAND. By B. C. B. Editor Times: We have beeft criticised very bitterly in regard .0 some of our "war" views and would appreciate very much your consent to print the following: Let us say in the beginning, .ve are not exponents of *ar, >ul a Ivocates of peace. No, we lon't want war, for "war is icil," but we do admire the Gernan spirit that supports their government solidly against a foreign foe?counts not the odds ?and who is there with soul so dead who does not? The German white soldiers light for their country. The .iybrid troops of England fight or a day's pay. The patriot will vin over the mercinary. No, we lo not want war; neither do we .vant peace at the price of star/aiion and national dishonor. No man has a right to condemn is for taking sides w ith Germany icainst England It' nxpiixe \vm? needed, here it is: Germany s .1 European coi.n ry, peopled ei.irely by while people. In art, music, science, letters, finance, c mmeice, industiialism, agrcultjre, etc., it is admittedly tie foremost country ot the eniirt world?the highest point in civilization ever reached l>y any age of man. In all these respects it st.ihds head and shoulders above those who today are striking at icr vitals. England is entirely lifferent. Her possessioi s, great ind small, exist in every clime, 'order every sea, and are com>osed of every known species of man of all races, sub-races, of mixed breeds, all religious sect , and of all degrees of civilization, barbarism and savagery. All these different races and conditions of men are found within the British empire, and each exercising a certain amount of influence which must be reckoned with when dealing with the whole. The German empire in its entirety renresents the hitrh est type of civilization and pure Caucasian blood. The higher civilization and Caucasian blood of the British Isles, Canada, Australia. New Zealand and South Africa is largely counterbalanced by the Mongrel hordes of Asia. 1 Africa and the islands of the seven seas which constitute the vast majority of the British empire and serve to reduce civilization to a minimum average. We have chosen the best. Gold Hill, August 2. The condition of Mr. Richard Fulp, who has been ill since returning from the encampment ait Charleston some days ago, , is very much improved. < m - * ?
