Fort Mill Times. . r; . ".Uncle Sam's" Experience Test The Federal government U trying to do a great many 'things. Mostly, with only partial success. In contrast with, other lines of business, "Uncle Sam" rarely fails outright. The reason for this us that all the government has to do, is to fall back j on the taxpayers to obliterate deficit! i and faulty, methods. The cotton destruction was probably a good average, though it. is strange that, in-spite of a :U> per. cent, slaughtered, there j 'seems fully as much cotton made, in many sections, as ever. This, in the teeth of a reduction acieage, in order to get the seed ^ loans. A different plan to reduce is. now being worked oiit. It will be; wat.hed with , interest. If "Uncle, Sam" can put up the money to make | the crop, and then succeed in reducing.j it to any appreciable extent, he .will have pulled across a new deal tluit < has never been done before. it seems to us that, what the old gentlemen should have done,' as a starter, was to burn the surplus oi j dumped it into the ocean. That sur- j plu excuse has done more to depress j the prices than all else combined. i Kx.ept by destruction it is difficult, to see any great hope. Not only milimns'out of employment, the majority of those still engaged, more or less, are able to purchase little else than automobiles, hi cad and meat, and as few clothes as possible., I he j textile mills are wobbling.' When aj few shekels are cornered they go intoj automobiles. Haw you ever seen as?i iu?.- new ones in. the I4' of . their existence?

J Capital Observations (Special Correapoiulence) Washington, Nov, This city, the political center of the country, is steadily becoming the national head- | quarters of* various sundry organiza-! lions, - One of these is the Ohamher of Commerce of the United Stated, embracing the commercial bodies, housed in a spacious and imposing j building across an open square from th x White House. The Chamber exerts Considerable inlluence nationally 1 In matters within its scope, and is now expressing opposition to the fiscal poljcy of the administration because of the fear of undue inflation of the currency. Republicans are endeavoring to get all the- Satisfaction they can but of the election of one of their 'political faith as mayor of New York, ordin-! atily an , impregnable' Democratic stronghold, but the explantion is so apparent that there , is not much ground for crowing. , A body of independent Democrats undertook to lUit an end to Tammany domination and succeeded in doing so, but failed to elect their own ticket. Tammany is strictly local to Manhattan Island, which formerly constituted New York City, but which for some thirty years has been only one of Ave boroughs of the greater municipality and by alliances and other means has generally succeeded in dominating the political situation and naming one of its own members as mayor. The Tammany emblem is the tiger, a member of the cat family, presumably having nine lives, and always has and doubtless svill again <Pome back. It is to be hoped that in tfofeat it will J)e chastened anil purged of its baser elements, and that when victory comes" again, it will not be too heavy a burden for Democracy to carry. ' * * * The Treasury Dt*partment-*h'as issued orders prohibiting any of its officials from giving out information! to the press and requiring that all! new.-, matter be secured from head-! quarters. "Resentment has,.resulted, but official statements have been 1 made that no censorship is Involved, merely an intention, to prevent unwarranted stories from being made public and to secure uniformity. The administration would be loath to antagonize the press, as fewspresidents have had the advantage of publicity: for projects as has President Roosevelt.. AI> three of his secretaries are former newspapermen and Mrs. Roosevelt and her "daughter both write for magazines.,. Members, of the cabinet and others connected with the administration frequently make radio! addresses and have speeches and in- I tcrviews published, so it is apparent- j ly advantageous not to cultivate an \ antagonistic att itude. * * * * Members of the committees of, Congress, which, will deal with the subject, are cngagefl in the'consider-.! iitien of new legislation to be enacted in view of. the repeal of the cigh- j leenth amendment. A main feature! wiii be the new tax to be imposed, ; instead of $1.10 a gallon on whiskey in effect until changed. . The need for 'jttyrc revenue is most urgent, and j it is likely that as high a tax will | be imposed as.the business will bear, j but not too high so as to afford the! opportunity for profits on tho part of bootleggers and moonshiners.. It is probable that the new tax on spirituous .liquors will be $ii or $2..10 ii gallon. ? Former (Jovernor A!

Lights of New York by L. L. STEVENSON Again, I'm frank to say I wouldn't llko to ho a policeman. Thorn worn 214 Jobless men. Tlioy had assembled In West aide court to boar tho oaso of an einploymont agent who had collected from them $10 to $12 each where do Jobless men yet money I hoy pay to gyp einploym<vnt au'onts? -on the assurance that they would be given work. They got neither (lie work nor their money hack. The omployment agent pleaded utility and was lined $2i"?, That was all the magistrate could do - the law setting a limitation on the punishment for an offense of that nature. True, the nuont could have been tried on 212 other charges with tines of In each Instance., Hut the $25 or any part of It would pot uo to the Jobless men, most of whom had given that agent every cent they could scrape up.' So there were muttering* among the 211 and the agent, perspiration starting f/om his forehead, looked about for protection. 1 * * ? That's why I repealed a statement made herein previously possibly several tjiiies previously for all I know. In the court were many pollco with prisoners. Court attaches tnnde a call On them for assistance. So they had to accompany that shrinking gyp agent down the stairway and out into the street where there were 214 angry men walling for him. I saw the police go Into' action, They didn't use their usual tactics In dealing witty a riot. Hut when the rush came, they ! did tho4f duty. Taking It all In all, l they were gentle, r&inarkahlv gentle, though they woyf"' far out-imtubcred j and one policeman was fhjured. Hut they know mpre about such things than Jybl**?s men and by and by the gyp agent got Into a tnxi hnd escaped. And I'm willing to wager that J every policeman that took part, in that I combat wished that, for rt minute or J so at least, ho could forget all about duty. Along those same lines, though the. police had no work to do, was the | case of that man?a respected business man for 20 years?who was accused j of swindling charwomen, scrubwomen, maids, chauffeurs and others out of ; their life savings?a total that may ! reach n million dollars. I didnxt see i that court room scene hut a friend I told me about it. The room was ; crowded With men and women who | had laid away their savings penny by ! penny and then had invested them I with the prisoner in the hope of pro* I viding for old age. Humble people j they were all of them, my friend said, I humble and grief laden because of the j betrayal of their trust. * * In this Instance, the prisoner was ! In no physical danger. Hut the foel| lugs of those present were expressed i when the court set the alleged swln- | dler's hail at $100,000. Cheers and j clapping of hands followed! I wonder i what swindlers do with money they j obtain from charwomen, scrub women i and others of the humble and lowly? * * * New York's greed for minutes Is j always being exhibited in the subway, j Hushes for trains cause mob scenes i and there is continual pushing and jostling In orderr\l*M get to the fore- | front. I'.ut what d Started fo say was ' that the other morning at Ninety-sixth . street, nmst of the passengers com- j fortahly seated in a local train got off i and forced their way, into an over- 1 crowded express "train in the hope of j saving three or four minutes on the j Journey to Times square. Some way or other, it gave me a slight feeling of superiority when flic express train, delayed by line congestion, pulled Into tin* station several seconds after the local. * * Street scene: A somewhat sedate looking man sitting on a bench near the Soldiers and Sailors monument on Riverside drive with his head very close to that of a slim, young blond whose fingers were Interlocked with "TUs.

The estimate is placed at $30,000,000 000. Apd the ownei^ of all this cash and securities are not running any risk of losing any of it to barplits. An army of 5,000 trained marksmen, the best to la) found, men tested previously for their courage and trustworthiness, guard these huge fortunes day and night. They live in this underground city of hidden treasure hut are in the care of physical trainers who keep them tit, bodily, for any emergency. No robber band has ever tried to make a raid of this subterranean stronghold in spite of the tempting booty it offers, and woe to any who might try it. Besides being armed with almost every weapon so far devised, except cannon, this guardian army has under its control a flooding system, aJso poison gas and even scalding steam, with which to rout thieves who might break into the treasure vaults. ? . *' Every bank ' or other financial institution has its own scjuad of guards. One, the Chase National Bapk, has 234 of them. The Bank of Manhattan, has 200. In addition to the army of f),000 picked men, 14,000 men and women employes in the Wall street financial institutions hold permits to carry flrerams, and are trained and ready to use them on an instant's notlCC. .. :i- ...

(JOLl) IN THE TWO CAROLINAS No Big Mines Possible, But Develop* ment May Be Profitable Now The high price of gold, which is apparently destined to increase further, seems likely to have the effect of producing -some respectable earnings from gold production in the two Car-j olinas. . At {he existing price of gold it is profitable to work low-grade ores, and there are numerous sources of such ores in both states. The Charlotte Observer remarks that the promoters of the gold mining industry are headed in the right direction in their plan to establish a mill gold ores. The plant would be constructed with a capacity to care for all the ores from the Carolinas, Georgia and \ irginia and would cost around $2,000,000. "Planning on a scale of that kind, we might look for a revival of the mining industry on a commercial basis and the result would'be to bring this section into prominence as one of the best gold producers in the country." . . , The News is not enthusiastic about prospects for any great wealth from gold production in this section of the country, for the chief sources of gold are in the western part of the United States. But there is no question that thoie are gold deposits of considerable importance in both the.Carolinas which could probably be made- profitable with the . substantially higher dollar, price for gold now being paid. Every etTort should be made to develop these resources to their utmost possibilities. An ounce of gold will 'bHf^ a* 0*1 as much mone>' as a bale uTvfcpotton, and even a few thousand ounces produced in the course of a year would be a worth-while addition to the state's income.?Greenville News.
