THE PRICE oE COTTON

Although I have a feeling that the
bulk of the present cotton crop Is 60
ing to sell at a good price, somewhere
around II cents and over, tell you
frankly there Is no telling what to ex-
pect," said local cotton dealer to the
reporter few days ago in answer to
a question on the subject.
THAT our own crop Is short" ne
went on, Il do not think there Is any
crop of staple cotton In Mississippi is
bound to be short on account of the
big floods that overlapped the planting
season and destroyed so much proper
ty; but the Indian crop is good and
Egypt is making the biggest crop she
has ever made. But that Is not all.
When prices were between 8 and 8
cents Liverpool laid in q surplus of
millions of bales, and there Is no tell
ing what effect that surplus might have
on the prices Of present crops. If trade
conditions should improve wonderfully
so as to warrant much better price
for spot cotton the probability Is that
Liverpool will continue to buy, without
falling back on her surplus. Other
wise she might hold back and allow
prices to drag
while of course the common senti-
ment is always hopeful for higher
prices, regardless Of whether the crop
Is large or small, and while conditions
as we see them now, seem favorable
to better prices. the truth Is that 1t is
impossible to tell. There are about as
many facts and circumstances to be
cited in favor Of the bear side as the
bull side, and the deciding factor is
more apt than not to be some condi-
tion that the public had no previous
suspicion Of"

better grass than the people in the vi

the raising Of thousands of sheep.

COMMISSIONERS OF ELECTION

The names of the commissioners ap-
pointed by Governor Blease to take
charge of and manage the state and
Federal elections in York county IN
November were published in the last
issue Of The Enquirer.
There are hundreds Of people
throughout this county who, having
been raised to look upon the primary
as the real election because they have
never seen any opposition in a general
election, do not know what q general
election is for or what the duties Of
the commissioners are.
1t Is unnecessary to explain to the
great majority Of voters that the re-
cent primary was merely for the pur-
pose Of making party nominations,
with the understanding that the people
who should receive those nominations
should be the standard bearers Of the
Democratic party as against any op-
position that might develop from
independents or the nominees Of other
parties in the general election.
The regular. state and Federal elec-
tions are always managed by commits
sioners appointed by the governor; but
ordinarily the duties of these commits
sioners are tame and monotonous.
Their principal business Is to appoint
managers at the various precincts,
provide ballot boxes and after the elec-
ton canvass the returns and make re-
ports to the state commissioners in
Columbia.

about it very much as our southern
people did Otherwise an incredibly
different sort of:human nature would
have to exist there.-Charlotte Observ-
er.
Although quite a distance away Cen
tral America really is vexing problem
to this country. We can neither regu-
late their affairs satisfactorily or let
them alone. Our people won't stay away
and when they go there they are con-
stantly in trouble. We can neither re-
fuse to allow our people to go or refuse
to see that they get a fair deal when
they are imposed upon. In the same
issue of the Observer from which the
foregoing article Is taken there is an un-
usually interesting article by Savoy
ard" advocating the abolition of the
Monroe Doctrine" The suggestion
lars one somewhat at first, because II
is so violative of American traditions.
But Savoyard argues that If Mexico
South and Central America are not
developed and civilized by Europeans
they will never be developed and civil
lied at all, and he argues his point in
a way that is calculated to convince.
There is no danger, he says, because
the United States comparatively weak
when the Monroe doctrine was declar-
ed, Is now the most powerful nation on
earth and will be able to hold its own
against any other nation that may be
developed anywhere. We have already
violated the Monroe Doctrine in spirit,
at least in taking up new territory in
Asia Perhaps If we should announc:
the abandonment of the Monroe Doc
trine except as to Asiatics. our re-
sponsibilities with reference to the
South and Central Americans would
be considerably lightened.

1t is time that the real estate market

York county could raise thousands Of
sheep quite profitably IL she only
would. There is no farm animal more
easily raised in this country than the
sheep. There is no cost for feed in the
summer and the cost in winter is very
small.
There must be some prize money
raised for the corn and pig club boys.
Most Of these boys have been doing
their parts splendidly regardless of the
seasons and II Is up to the business
people and others to show proper ap-
probation.
York county made 49,403 bales of
cotton last year; but there Is no rea-
sonable probability that this years crop
will come up to anything like those
figures. The destructive loss by the
big storm Of August cut the crop by
at least $500 bales, and while some
farmers have as good crops as they had
last year, it Is commonly estimated
that the crop as a whole Is off some
thing like fifteen or twenty per cent.
But as all cotton producers so we'll un-
derstand, there Is no certainty in the
consideration Of this subject. One can
tell best about the cotton crop after it
has been picked and sold.

There were a number Of applications
for admission from girls of other
states, but for lack of room, even for
the girls Of South Carolina, most Of
| them had to be turned away. Some
have come, however, and will board
outside, which is permissible.
To accommodate the increased en-
! rollment in the training school and to
give recitation rooms for the addition
al teachers employed for the training
school this year, the old high school
building has been repaired and put in
excellent shape, and presents an at
tractive appearance. This will be used
until the new building is ready.
The following are the new teachers
and officers: Prof. s. w. Hockett,
Natural Science.
Prof. James E. Walmsley, History.
Civics, etc. ,
Prof. Chas. B. Weeks, Elementary

coverer Of the South Pole.
A large transportation wagon has
been purchased by the college, built
especially by the Studebakers to trans
port the children who will attend the

When our government undertakes to
guarantee fair elections in Central
America it assumes one of the most
troublesome obligations it has ever
had. 1t may not be able to do the
thing at all, and even if it succeeds it
will greatly heighten the jealous SEN
sitiveness toward the United States
which all of the so-called Latin Amer
lea feels. We can readily imagine that
the side in disfavor with the American
military authorities would become the
popular side from this very cause
alone, and the difficulties of popular
governmental popular government is
to continue-would thereby be increas-
ed. Nor are: we entering Nicaragua
now as an impartial arbitrator We
are avowedly taking sides and against
the m,re numerous element there. 1t
seems that the Zelayans comprise about
seventy per cent of the population, and
after being driven from power by a
revolt, would have returned to power
easily by a counter-revolt If We had
not interviewed openly against them.
Our government denounces them as
of power. How are we to
supervise" elections under circum
stances like these? Recognizing that
the parallel is in many respects unfair
to the present administration and to
our own southern states, we may new
erthe!ess ask whether the conduct Of
southern elections by alien military
power directed from Washington was
such a success that our government
should attempt the military control of
elections in Nicaragua or anywhere
else. The Nicaraguans are bound to feel

Mr.. GUY GIVES MORE FIGURES.
Chester Man Discusses Action Of Exc
cutive Committee.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer.
l see you copied my letter to the
State. of September 9.
AS the first half Of one sentence was
left out, making it Of no sense, call
your attention to what was omitted.
1.-The one extreme was one family with
eleven members and two voters, the
other extreme was one family with
two members and one voter
Now a few more figures. The State
used the United States census to prove
to it's entire satisfaction that the pri-
mary of August 9th, was fraudulent
in that 100000 votes were too many
for us to cast, allowing one vote for
every five, accepting the census as
correct; but when the director Of the
census says that there were 1885, ,769
white males above the age Of 21, this
same authority blandly asserts that
the figures are not correct. Funny
how this same crowd around the cities
and towns were such high kickers
when the count was made, claiming
that the enumerators failed to count
all their citizens. I suppose they
must have substituted men for the
women and children who were hidden
under the bed.
Mr.. Editor, I am sure that no such
high-handed usurpation of authority
as the state executive committee has
perpetrated, has occurred since the
days of the radical returning board
Of 1876.
The mandates Of the constitution
and rules Of the Democratic party are
plain and mandatory as to a second
primary being held on the second
Tuesday after the first primary. I
think it behooves the Peoples" to
inquire II this fragrant usurpation Of
authority Is not a covert attempt to
save the Lions" skin.

EVANS REPLIES TO TILLMAN
State Chairman Thinks Senator Il
UnduIy Alarmed.

SpartAnburg, September 17.-John
Gary Evans, chairman Of the state ex-
ecutiye committee, on last Tuesday
gave out the following letter to Sep
ator Tiliman:
..spartanburg, 8. c., Sept. IA, 1919.
Hon B. X. Tillman, Trenton, 8. c.
my Dear senator: have your let
ter OF September IL, concerning the
political situation. AS ! wrote you
before, am satisfied that every MEM
ber of the subcommittee appointed
by me to investigate the charges OF
fraud in the late primary election is
an honest man, anxious and willing 10
do what is right and to save the pri-
mary. 1t is very unfortunate that
Chairman Stevenson could not meet
with the committee on the day 1t was
called. He wrote me that 1t was I'M
possible for the reason that his Wi1e
was quite i'll and 1t was necessary to
olace her in q hospital in the north,
where learned he has gone. am In
iormed that he expects to return to
the state within a weeks time, but In
order not to delay the committee he
called Mr.. Butler and w. b. Wilson to
meet him in Charlotte that he might
give them his views as to the method
of procedure. l had presumed that
the committee had been informed of
the situation. / have stated my po-
sition clearly to both sides Of the COM
mittee, as there appears to be two
sides. I am sure that none Of them
desire to delay matter so important
to our people one moment, but the
committee could not be expected to
make undue haste to the neglect OF its
duty. think you are unduly alarmed
and trust that you will do all in your
power to prevent any undue excite
ment to our people, as both candi-
dates for governor have expressed a
desire that this investigation be had
and we wish to give the nominee
clean title so that our people may go
to the polls united. They will not do
so under the charges Of fraud. The
great thing now to be accomplished
ihe preservation Of our white mans
primary and am sure this Is the feel
ing of every member Of the executive
You may rest assured
that this committee is incapable Of
out anybody and they feel
the gravity Of the situation as much
as you do. Do not get excited and
lose confidence in men who have been
selected to direct the affairs Of the
party until you have direct evidence
Of wrong doing. II the subcommittee
does not report within a reasonable
time I shall take the necessary steps
to preserve the rights Of all parties
With best regards,
Truly yours,
John Gary Evans"
