When Peace Comes.
Writing in Commerce and Finance,
Theodore H. Price takes
a hopeful view of the conditions
that will follow the war's end
in this country. He makes note
of the fact that after Appomattox,
in 1865, the United
States and the entire American
Continent. North and South, had
a boom which did not exhaust
itself until 1873. After the
Franco Prussian War. France,
despite der defeat and the indemnity
of five billion francs
that she agreed to pay Cermany,
became more prosperous than
ever before in its history. The
activities of reconstruction are
more stimulating than those of
destruction because they are inspired
by hope rather than vindietiveness
or revenge. People
will always work more eagerly
to live than they will to die. In
the United States the ending of
the war will mean the dismantling
of some munition
factories and the reallocation of
the labor that they now employ
hut- mnrp imnortant and ner
manenl business of the country
will probably thrive. The wealth
with which the wai has provided
us will permit of the refinancing
of our railways and
other industrial and distributive
enterprises upon a scale that
will be adequate to our present
development and the amount of
money thus put in circulation
will far exceed any profit that
we may reap from a continuance
of war. The result will inevitably
be great and sound prosperity
for every business that
ministers to the needs of a
peaceful and intelligent people
whose ideals are those of economic
efficiency and whose endowment
is the resources of a
continent.
Mr. Price, in conclusion, says
that all talk of a "peace panic"
seems to be unwarranted and
unintelligent. If peace comes it
will bring a sounder prosperity
than that which has been created
by war. -Charlotte Observer.
York Legislator Talks.
Ill an interview Friday W. K.
Bradford, member of the house
of representatives from York
county, in regard to the meeting
of the county delegation held in
Rock Hill Thursday, said that
the delegation had a number of
important matters relative to the
welfare of the county to come
before it and the delegation is
planning for much important
work in the coming session of
the legislature which will be not
only of local but Statewide
interest.
In the matter of an increase in
the salary of the county home
demonstration agent, the delegation,
as a whole, did not favor
the increase owing to what the
delegation considered a rather
poor showing. Mr. Bradford
stated that the members had
agreed to continue the present
salary out of consideration for
Winthrop college under whose
initiative the movement has progressed,
but he feels sure that
the appropriation will be eliminated
unless a better showing is
made next year.
Mr. Bradford said that ihe
suggestion of W. B. Meacha n,
president of the Savings Bank of
Fort Mill, who ^as present at
the meeting, to require a bond of
not less than $100, approved bv
the county clerk, from all persons
receiving shipments of
whiskey in this State was very
favorably received and that the
matter will be gone in?o
thoroughly with a view of passing
such a law at the next session
of the legislature. The measure
would be aimed at the blind
tiger who, it is believed, could
not give a bond requiring that
whiskey shipments received
1 would be used only for legitimate
Germany Wants Immediate Peace?
News despatches carried in
yesterday morning's daily papers
would seem to indicate that Germany
and her allies have at last
awakened to the fact that they
are playing a losing game in the
war and are not only willing but
' eager to consider terms of peace.
The central powers ?Germany.
Austria, Hungary, F3ulgaria and
'Turkey?on Tuesday replied to
(the note of President Wilson in ;
which he asked that the belligerent
nations state the aims for
which they were fighting. The
proposal is made by the central
powers that a conference of the
delegates of all the belligerents
be held immediately in a neutral
citv.
-The
German answer, together
with the reply of the other central
powers, said in part:
"To the imperial government,
an immediate exchange of views
seems to be the most appropriate
road in order to reach the desired
result.
"The imperial government is
also of the opinion that the great
work of preventing future wars
can he begun only after the end
of the present struggle of the
nations,
"It will, when this moment
shall have come, be ready with
pleasure to collaborate entirely
with the United States in this
exalted task."
Nay Reduce Liquor Allowance.
In the last issue of the Manning
Herald, J. K. Breedin, superintendent
of the State Antisaloon
league, had this to say, in
part:
"As usual, some one anticipates
calls for reduction of the
quantity of liquors and proceeds
to point out the direful effect of
tambering with the present ar;
rangement.
"The gallon a month arrangement
has been better than unlimited
sale, but it is so far from
being a prohibitive measure as
to give some color to the charge
that we prohibitionists are afraid
to try a measure of prohibition
that will affect other than the
'horrible example.' One need
j not be an aggressive prohibitionist,
nor yet''Tolerant of the
tastes and hj^aiB of men, to
know that the i^H'ho consumes
112 gallons of wnwey in a year
is exceeding the limit of safety
by great lengths. If the total
t abstainer is not to be accepted
as a guide, neither is the excessive
drinker. From what we
know of men who like their
'toddies' the great majority of i
them do not consume more than
a quart of whiskey a month, j
; That would appear to be an j
adequate allowance.
"It has been said many limes
and the papers of Monday repeated
it ?that there was a
I terrible defeat nearly brought i
about this summer by the liquor
legislation already on the books.
In other words, the statement
implies that all the supporters
r,f M- i:
*>l nil, IJICBOt ncil' IMjUWI Illl^n
and hostile to prohibition. That
statement has been made so
frequently that it is being accepted.
But that is pure twaddle
and mere imagination. Some
of our stanehest prohibitionists I
have supported Mr. Blease, and
we know their prohibition conviction
to be just as sincere as
is our own.
"The legislature will certainly
be asked to consider the allowance
question and other questions
relating to the wholematter. and
the people are asking for this
with an earnestness that will not
be denied."
York Has a Fire.
Fire that broke out at 11 o'clock
Friday morning in the Quarters
of Charlie Miller's nressimr Huh
located i?i the Moore-McNeill
building on York's main street
gutted a large part of the second
story of that structure and did
heavy damage to W. E. Ferguson's
grocery store on the
first floor. The fire was due to
a quantity of clothing hanging
near a stove becoming ignited.
The fury of the flames being
shortly afterward increased by
the exposion of a can containing
five gallons of gasoline.
Energetic and efficient work
by the firemen kept the fire confined
to the second story of the
building, the damage to the
stores on the first floors being
caused by water.
VV. E. Ferguson was the principal
sufferer, his stock valued
at $2,500 on which there was
$1,000 insurance being severely
damaged. Some damage was
done to the stock of E. B.
Ixiwry's grocery and S. J. Bell's
repair establishments, all of
which is covered by insurance.
