In the death of Mrs. August Kohn.
not only the devoted husband and
family, but the state Of South Caro-
lima as such, sustains distinct be-
reavement. Mrs. Kohn was in some
respects an. extraordinary woman.
While her first consideration always
was her husband and children, she had
remarkably comprehensive and in
telligent grasp Of things both social
and political. She was intensely pa
triotic, and as state president Of the
United Daughters OF the Confederacy
during several years did much to add
to the practical usefulness Of that
splendid organization. She was a per-
sistent worker in all good causes and
patient, consistent, charitable and lib
eral to a degree attained by few Of the
member Of the state press association,
she has been attending every meeting
for many years, and although incon-
spicuous except for the sweet gentle
ness of her presence, and the certainty
of being on hand to render service
wherever service was needed, the
meetings would have been far less en-
joyable had she not been present. So
sweet and lovely in character and dis
position, none could know her but to
hold her in the highest regard, and the
thousands who had the privilege Of
her acquaintance must certainly feel
that they also have sustained personal
loss, exceeded only by the still greater
bereavement of husband and family.

ALFALFA

- I# . : : #
At the present time 1t looks like
York county farmers are becoming
more and more interested in alfalfa
growing. There is strong and en-
thusiastic Alfalfa Growers club and
the Yorkville Alfalfa Growers as
sociation is constantly adding new
names on its membership list.
Mr.. w. L. Hill Of Sharon, is among
those who have recently become men,
bers Of the Yorkville club and being
a man who does not do things by
halves, he intends to give quite q
good deal Of attention to the growing
Of alfalfa. ia,
In conversation with the reporter
recently, Mr.. Hill said that while. he
knew very little about the growing of
alfalfa himself, he had been very
much interested in the project for
some time, and he saw no reason why
York county farmers could not be as
successful in its production as other
sections Of the country.
Mr.. Hill says he intends to begin
with about three acres devoted to al
falfa, and II he Is reasonably success
full with 1t, will probably increase his
acreage to something like twenty or
more acres.
TITS bound to be good thing" he
said. "The United States government
is going to quite a lot Of expense in
introducing 1t In this county, and the
United States government does not
waste much time or money on any
crop unless there is really something
to It,"

An amendment to the Glass Owen
currency bill, to prohibit interlocking
directorates In banking, institutions
was proposed at the conference Of
Democrats Of the house committee
yesterday. The plan offered by Rep
resentative Wingo Of Arkansas, went
over to the next meeting after a brief
discussion and without q test Of
strength In the committee. Earlier In
the day the conference had defeated 6
to another proposal by Representa-
tive Wingo that government funds
should be deposited In the proposed
new regional reserve banks upon a
competitive basis, deposits being made
in banks offering the highest rate Of
interest. The Democrats struck out Of
the bill a section to permit individual
banks In time Of distress, to get d.
rect discounts from the regional re-
serve banks, upon securities recogniZ-
ed as stock exchange collateral, and
also eliminated provision exempting
notes for bills issued on government,
state, county or municipal bonds from
the proposed proposition against -e-
discounting by the Federal reserve
banks Of notes and bills issued for the
purpose Of carrying or trading in
stocks, bonds or other securities" The
extended the maturity pc
riod Of paper rediscountable under the
law, from As to 60 days. Sections Of
the bill relating to the regular examin-
ations Of banks and to penalties for
examiners who accept gratuities or
loans from banks, were approved. In
the case of the penalties for examin-
ers or for officers Of banks giving
loans or gratuities to examiners, the
maximum penalty was raised from
3 years to years.

I Drs, C. 90. Burrls and @. l. ,TRom
as of Sharon were on their way from
Yorkville to Sharon on Tuesday after
noon, in DR.. Burrus' car, and when
they ysached the railroad crossing
on. the east end OF Dry Fork trestle,
knowing that 1t was about train
time. stopped, looked and listened,
and not seeing or hearing the train,
proceeded to cross the track. The
rear wheels of the automobile had
barely cleared, the, rails, when e No.
113, the northbound passenger train
thundered by. The public road cross
es the railroad twice within one
fourth of mile on the east and west
ends Of Dry Fork trestle. Both
crossings. by reason Of the view be-
ing obstructed, are exceedingly dam
peroua and n Ia ittle short 0f mar
velous that there has never as yet
been any serious accidents at either.
The menace to life at these points
could be forever eliminated by chang
ing the road to cross Dry Fork on
the north side, thus doing away with
both railroad crossings. The total
cost, including the building of q
new bridge and first class road,
should not exceed $1,000.

Governor Blease also attracted much
attention in 5Asheyille., He had been
there once before many years ago; but
did not expect to meet many people he
knew, He was pointed out quite fire.
quently as he rode through the town,
and within a short time after his arri-
val at the Langren, a delegation called
and urged an invitation for ride over
the show places Of the town. This in
vitation, however, the governor cour-
teously but reluctantly declined. He
had made an appointment that requir-
ed his attendance in Hendersonville,
that afternoon and did not see how he
could well change his programme. 81
The automobile ride around Hem
dersonville, and the trip to Asheville,
has given rise to quite a lot Of politi-
cal speculation in the newspapers, and
also much gossip; but as the editor Of
The Enquirer happens to have had the
advantage Of many. years Of expert
ence and, observation along this line,
and happens to be personally cogni-
zant of the small amount Of political
talk that was indulged In, he Is not in
clined to give to the incident the same
significance that has been attached to
1t by some of the correspondents. But
that the politically inclined will talk
and draw their own conclusions Is not
only natural;' but more than half
right. .ya. ~ 1a tEi.

only enjoyed the delightful air and

1t must have cost Governor Blease
considerable effort to make that ap-
peal he wired to President Wilson in
behalf Of Milton A. Carlisle; but new.
ertheless the governor was right, and
we think it would be the part of wis
dom, justice and mercy for the presi-
dent to exercise clemency in behalf of
the unfortunate Mr.. Carlisle. We have
no words of Justification to offer for
Mr.. Carlisle's offense; but we do know
that hundreds of others have done the
same thing and gone scott free. Mr..
Carlisle has only been the victim of q
desire to make an example, and he has
suffered enough. Why we say that 1t
must have cost Governor Blease an
effort is simply this. We know of our
own knowledge that beginning two
years ago every effort has been made
by an element in this state to keep
Mr.. Blease and President Wilson
from coming into personal contact,
and there is abundant reason to sus-
pect that the reason Of this effort was
fear that if the two should become
known to each other, the result would
be the establishment of friendly rela-
tions that would have tended to re-
verse some conditions as they now ex-
ist We have not been able to see that
President Wilson has gone out of his
way to offend Governor Blease, nor
has Governor Blease gone out Of his
way to curry favor with the president.
We believe that if President Wilson
could be made to realize the real stu
alton, he would at once take steps to
straighten things out, and this we sus
pect could be very easily done. The
issuance of a parole for Mr.. Milton A.
Carlisle would very likely bring the
two executives together, and at the
same time go a long way toward re-
storing political harmony in South
Carolina.
