Manning and the Warehouse.
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>
