Some Gain, Anyway. It is hard to find anything redeeming about the European '* , war; it seems to the ordinary individual a big uncalled for and brutal business. There are, however. just a few things that are really encouraging, and one of the most notable of these is the death blow to alcohol. Europe has always been the strong advocate of the sale of all forms of alcoholic drinks and prohibition has never appealed to any of the great nations of Europe, but since the outbreak of the war, one nation after another has forbidden the sale of intoxicants una *1 n i__ .1 in now r.?urope is nearly as ory as the state of Arkansas. Mexico. It looks now, more than ever, that the United States is going to lie compelled to send enough troops to Mexico to put down all the various revolutionists, and would-be leaders of revolutions, if that war-torn and distressed country is ever to have any more peace. We are inclined to the belief that the capture of Villa will effect little good. Nor do j we believe that there is a man in Mexico today strong enough to 1 unite the factions and set up a | stable government without out-1 side assistance. Thus, it would seem, it is squarely up to the United States to put its troops in Mexico at the command of ! some strontr lpader and furnish : the necessary money to bring: order out of the chaos existing: there now. Writers of note, men who have carefully studied the Mexican situation, have concluded that intervention is the only hope for peace, and this belief is shared by many people throughout this country. - -Favor* War, But James B. Duke, president of the American Tobacco Company, the Southern Power Company, and perhaps other companies, in an interview griven the Charlotte Observer a few days ago expressed nimseii strongly in sympathy with the Allies in the European war and said among other things that the United States should at once go to war! with Germany. We do not of I course object to Mr. Duke's1 sympathy for the side on which the principal part of civilization is. but vce have been wondering since we read what he had to say on the subject whether he would be so enthusiastic for America entering the contest if he thought he would have to volunteer for service. Like many rich men, who doubtless would become richer by war, he is feady and eager for the poor man to make of his body a bar-1 rier for German bullets, but be sure he would save his own precious bacon. Cohen's Troubles Cease. The troubles of Nathan Cohen, "the man without a country," UMi&tW Lkv r !! ? ?I are over, the unfortunate man having died a few days ago in a sanitarium near New York. Several years ago Cohen came to this country from Brazil and engaged in business m Baltimore. According to the alien law an immigrant who becomes a public charge within three years of the date of landing, must be taken to the country from whence he came. Cohen was deported, but ; the Brazilian authorities would [ not accept him, so he was sent to Argentina, where he was refused landing. Then followed a j process of deportation, keeping the man unor. thp hich spur Rail ing back and forth between this country and South America. The steamship company tried to wish the man onto Russia, which was his native land, but the Russian authorities refused to take him back. Finally, the Knights of Pythias discovered that he was a member of that order and, thru their intercession, the immigration authorities were prevailed upon to permit Cohen to land and he was taken to a sanitarium, with the provision that lie was to be deported after the i war. Governor Appoints Commissioners. Governor Manning Thursday appointed the following commissioners to examine into and report as to whether the pro| posed new county of Catawba j is complying with requirements. For the old counties: J. Steele Brice, York; J. Lyles Glenn, j Chester; J. E. McDonald, Winnshoro. For thenewcountv: W. B. j Wilson, Jr.. of Rock Hill; R. S. Me bane of Great Falls, R. B. Reeves of Longtown. It will be the duty of these commissioners to employ two disinterested surveyors, who1 shall have the power to call in a third disinterested surveyor to settle such disputes as might arise. These surveyors will ascertain the area in the pro-1 posed new county, and also the j area to be left in the old counties, and establish the lines in such manner as to make it clear who shall be entitled to vote in case of the ordering of the election. The surveyors are to be paid by warrant of the commission on the old counties, each being liable for its pro rata part. After the survey, it will bethe ! duty of the commission to make thorough investigation as to whether all the requirements of the constitution have been complied with and to make report to the governor accordingly. Within turontlT .Ini.rt ~ iviiiii navo ill n:I ic' ceiving the report of the comlrission, provided the report so warrants, the governor must order an election to be held within sixty days thereafter. Managers are to be appointed by the commissioners of election of each of the old counties, three | for each precinct in the new county territory, and if twothirds of the electors voting in' the election declare for the new county, and all constitutional re-, (luirements have been complied with, then the new county shall. be erected. Blease Says He Will Win. Ex-governor Blease recently gave to the press the following statement: "It is being clandestinely and maliciously reported by enemies of mine and the cause that I rep resent that I am not and will not be a candidate for governor in the election this year. This report is absolutely and unqualifiedly false, and is circulated by those who would rather lie than tell the truth. "I am a candidate for governor and will win. I am in no combination nor interested in anyone's race for governor but my own. and the rumors to the contrary are the concoctions of those ; who wish to mislead the voters. Our cause is an honest and just one and will not be downed but, based upon the great principle of 'Equal rights to all and special privileges to none,' is bound to succeed." To Make Bordeaux Mixture. Dissolve four pounds of water. After it has dissolved dilute to twenty-five gallons. Slack six pounds of lump lime in a small pail of water, and dilute to twenty-five gallons. Do not pour one solution into the other, but pour the two solutions into a third barrel at the same time, stirring vigorously to insure thorough mixing. It is very essential that the two solutions be mixed this way so as to orevent crystals from forming and thus reducing the strength of the mixture. Mrs. J. B. Elliott and little son, .lames Boyce, Jr., are visiting relatives in Chatham. Va. THE FORT Ml SPECIAL NOTICES. ( REMEMBER?If you are going to eat fish, now is the time. Ihey | are running fine.

Wagner, assistant! superintendent of the Millfort Mill, says: "For nearly 15 years I carried $1,000 life insurance in nm? of the fraternal orders at a cost of $10.56 per year. A short while ago 1 r? ceived notice that hereafter my premium woud be $28.32 per year. I declined to pay it and have taken a policy in the Union Central Life in which I find that my net premium at the end of the first year will be $27.25 for $1,000 not including premium for disability benefits. I find that if I had taken a policy in the Union Central at the! time I took the fraternal policy, my last premium would have been $14.80 and the policy would now have a cash value of $158 00 if 1 decided to drop i?. In the ease of the fraternal j>olicy, I have nothing to show for all the years of payment while my advanced age makes niv premium in the old line company cost me $12.20 per $1,000 more than it would have cost me 15 years ago.
