In a recent issue the Yorkvillc Enquirer directs attention to the attitude of Governor Manning toward the State warehouse system as expressed by the Governor in a speech attributed tc him at a meeting held in Columbia a few days ago. This matter of warehousing cotton foi the farmers is apt to be a live issue in the campaign next year and we shall not be surprised tc see that it makes or unmakes fc considerable number of men offering fo: public office. A:\\ e recall the speech of Governoi Manning he is quoted as saying that he will recommend to the Legislature a number of changes in the law, one of which is that no owner of a State warehous* shall act as manager thereof. Further, our recollection is that he would not allow the owner of a warehouse taken over b> the State to store his own cotton therein. These recommendations, if adopted, would, in oui opinion, result in the disruption of the entire warehouse system, and we are loath to believe that a majority of members of the Legislature will agree to them. We prefer to believe, of course, that the Governor is entirely disinterested in the changes he | would have made in the ware-' house law. but k certainly requires nothing akin to deep j thinking to see how, if his ideas! are adopted, the owners of private warehouses will have much to pain. Great scheme! Let's pass a law requiring the millionaires to form the first line of defense in case of war. Then they could t promptly buy off the enemy and we wouldn't have to light. High Spots of War. If this war has demon3tated any one thing more forcibly than another, it is the ingenuity and ability displayed by the contestants in hitting the high spots in ! the campaign of death. Time was when the destruction of a regiment would command a conspicuous position on the front page. Now it receives an inch or two in an obscute corner. Once the capture of a tixus and prisoners would have been an event in a campaign. Now it is but an incident. In the days of our father's the cannon, the rifle and the saber were the principle instruments of warfare. Now they are hut toy? compared with the powerful engines of destruction. In those days fighting ships lined up side by side and blaeed away until one hauled down its flag in surrender. Now the most' WHAT? powerful of battleships are sent to the bottom by the tiny wasps of the seas. Where thousands fouurht be fore, millions are now struggling and wallowing in the carnage of blood. If in Sherman's time war was hell, today language 'fails of its mission. Loyalty Pays a Dividend. We read much in the public press today of "loyalty to our country," and it is well, for if any man on earth has reason to I .feel loyal to his country for benbefits conferred, that man is the American citizen. But there is another loyalty which ranks side by side with that of country, and that is "loy- ! alty to home and home people." We have here a community in which any people might feel a just pride, and we have a people j wholly on par with the community, though there are times when we are neglectful of our interests and unmindful of the disintegrating consequences,which invariably enuse. Loyalty always pays its dividend, but loyalty to home and home people pays a double divi.1 _ i aenu. Let us he loyal to our country by all means, but let us be doubly loyal to our home people and home institutions, for it is by this means only that we may thrive and flourish and grow as a collective unit in the marts of the world. Dear old Senor General Don Venustiano Carranza, Etc., Etc., first chief of something or other, etc., etc., and that is about all jvq can say of the cuss, etc., etc. According to a Washington ruling, American citizens who enlist i?i a foreign army will lose their citizenship - if rot their lives. The merchant who forgets to advertise should not complain when the buyer forgets that he is in business. It is just a case of "forget" all around. If bumper crops continue to; bump for a few more years, the American farmer can discard his Ford and annex a Zeppelin. The president wants peace, the pope wants peace, nearly every-; body else wants it, and nobody is j able to find the darned thing. . . Hottest September 11th. Saturday was the hottest September 11th in this State that' has been recorded by the Colum-1 bia weather bureau in the last; years. In some sections of the State the thermometers went I to 1)8 degrees and the day was j ?:~,i u . i iit'n witft Liiicu ocner uays ot the present summer for the second hottest day of the season. In Fort Mill, thermometers in the business houses registered 95 decrees and the heat was most oppressive. Back in July the thermometer registered the "century mark" and twice during the summer of 1915 did the mercury rise to 98, this being the record. Friday, was likewise the hottest 10th of September on record. Meet Next in Fort Mill. The annual meeting of the Woman's Missionary Union of York county was held recently in Yorkville, and the reports as a whole showed that excellent work had been done by the organization during the last year. All apportionments had heen met, and a sum of $1,394.35 had been raised ; for other causes. Officers elect- < ed for the ensuing year are> Miss Emma I>owell, president;' - WATCH Mrs. S. S.

This is the largest of the South Carolina presbyteries, having 48 churches and 25 ministers, to which were added by resolution Wednesday morning two additional thuches, one located at Blackstock and one atTirzah. Divine services were conducted Tuesday night by the Rev. R. K. Timmons of Bethel church, assisted by the Rev. Alexander Martin of the Oakland Avenue church. Rock Hill. The former church is the mother of this presbytery and from it takes its i ame. After services (i. H.
