PASSING OF w, C., lATIMER

Mr.. w. c. Latimer, we'll known
and highly esteemed citizen of York.
Vile, died at his home in this place
this morning at II o'clock, following a
stroke Of paralysis sustained last
night, and will be buried tomorrow.
Mr.. Latimer was a son Of the late
George Latimer, and was born near
Philadelphia church, in 1S4I. He To-
Gated in Yorkville in 1878, and engaged
in merchandising as a member Of the
firm of Kennedy, Latimer & Hemp
hill. After two years Mr.. Kennedy
withdrew from the firm and in 1881
Mr.. Latimer bought the interest OF
MIR. Hemphill, and continued the busi-
ness alone until the early nineties,
when on account Of terrific financial
stringency that struck this section
about that time and caused so many
business failures. he was forced 10
make an assignment. During the
years preceding his misfortune he
was easily the leading merchant Of
the county in the quality and quantity
Of goods handled, and his fame in this
line extended far and wide. A con-
spicuous feature Of his failure was his
fair and hor rocable treatment OF his
creditors he giving up practically ev-
eryihing he had.
About the time Of his coming to

Alice Ratchford, a lady Of unusually

CASE OF w. 1. JACKSON

Walter l.. Jackson Of this county,
who was convicted Of incest last sum-

for two years, will serve out his sem
tence so far as Governor Blease is
concerned. A numerously signed pc
tition in behalf of Jackson was sent
to the governor last week, and the pc
titioner has received the following:
Dear Sir: Petition left in my office
by you for Walter L. Jackson has
been taken up and given my consid-
Grafton.
l really think the man should have
been hanged. The idea Of man COM
mitting such a crime with his niece Is
beyond human Interpretation. The pc
tition has been marked refused, and 1
think 1t would be q blessing to your
community If this man should die
before he finishes serving his sentence.
Personally, I would be very glad to
do you almost any favor; but l must
say that l am surprised at you pre-
senting a petition for a man charged
with such horrible offense. 1t Is one
which Is seldom found among negroes,
and most assuredly should not be
found among any class Of white peo-
pie.
Assuring you of my highest person.

In the December American Maya

he gives a survey Of the wars effects
as he has seen them in England, Bel
gium, France and on the edge Of Ger
many. Following is an extract:
Perhaps Of all central Europe, Ger
many has least felt the wastage of
this war; for, except in East Prussia,
she has so far been uninvaded. Yet
from end to end Of Germany the fac
tory doors are closed and the machin-
cry stands immovable in grease, be-
cause the men are gone to war. From
AK to the Polish border, she Is virtu-
ally producing nothing except the
eternal war materials-which are
waste, because their end Is wastage-
and the few necessities, like shoes.
which the stay-at -homes must have
even in war time. Distribution has
been spared to a minimum; the gov
ernment has been able to dispense
with only enough railroad men to sat
isfy the most pressing needs. or
course, the fine side Of life, the spor-
tive side, has gone by the board

never saw before: One or two hotels

and walters are all old men. The rest
are closed. Half the shops are closed.
On the streets you see no young men,
save a policeman or uniformed rail-
road official here and there. A few
cabs hang round the station; they are
manned by bent, gray-haired drivers.
Down the streets, files an eternal pro-

so would be celebra ton of Christmas
as Christmas should be celebrated.
About 1900 years ago, this Man was
born. He was born poor and humble,
in lowly manger. But he lives. He
gave us Christmas. st. Luke tells of
the birth Of this Man in the following
words:
"And she (Mary) brought forth
her first-born son, and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes, and laid him In
manger; because there was no room
for them in the inn.
And there was in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night.
And, 10, the angel Of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory Of the Lord
shone around about them, and they
were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not, for behold bring you good
tidings Of great Joy, which shall be to
all people.
For unto you is born this day. in
the city of David, Savior which ts
Christ the Lord.
And this shall be sign unto you:
ye shall find the babe wrapped In
swaddling clothes, lying in manger.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude Of the heavenly
host, praising God, and saying,
GLORY to God In the highest. and
on earth peace and good will toward
men,"

One Of the regulations that Is espe-
cially impressed upon rural demon
stration agents under the direction OF
the department Of agriculture is that
while they are free to entertain such
politics as they may approve. they
must not try to interfere with the pol
itics Of others. They are prohibited
from acting as trade agents for towns
or individuals; but they are expected
to give any information that may be
desired Of them as to prices Of seeds
fertilizers, farm machinery and the
like and where to get what may be
desired in these lines. The justice ant
wisdom of these REGULATIONS are self
evident, as without such regulations
the usefulness Of the demonstration
agents along the lines for which they
are especially employed would soon be
destroyed.

Cotton einned to December 81

Cotton Ginned to December 21-
Cotton ginning up to the period end
ing December IL, made new record,
exceeding that established in 1911,
the year Of previous record cotton pro-
duction, by more than 2O6,O0O bales.
That was indicated on yesterday,
in the census report showing 1871
1S9 bales had been ginned prior to
December 13. In the last two years
approximately s2 per cent of the en-
tire crop had been ginned prior to
December 13. Calculating this years
crop on that basis, it would exceed
16,270.000 bales. The department of
agriculture, in its preliminary estimate
Of crop, placed it at 15,966,000 bales.
Last year the departments prelimi-
nary estimate was 13,677,000 bales,
while the final production was 14.156,-
600 500-pound bales.

There has yet been no agreement
in the claims Of the Germans and the
allies as to the extent Of the alleged
victory Of the Austro-Gcrman army
over the Russians last week. Ac-
cording to the reports published in
Berlin, the victory was decisive, and
according to the Russians, the figh,
was nothing more than an outpost af-
fair. The question involved is very
serious. If the Germans really have
the Russians on the run, there is q
probability that they may push theii
advantage to an extent that will pre-
vent further hampering Of the Ger
mans on their eastern border and thai
will give them opportunity to throw
most of their forces that have beer
engaged there over to the western
side. In reality, up to this time, 1t is
the Russians who have most seriously
threatened the Austro- Hungarian com.
bination, and with the checking oI
Russia, if that shall happen. the
whole situation promises to take or
very different aspect.

law stand as it Is. There are those
who say that the law will not be OBJ
served; but we are quite sure that
there are many citizens Of the state
who will observe it, If for no other

quite sure that regardless Of what the

is beginning to make itself felt, come
from the Spartanburg Herald and the
Florence Times. The Herald urges
that all those who are in position to
undertake construction work OF any
sort should do so. Lumber and other
materials are cheaper than they are
likely to be again, once the present
temporary depression Is lifted. The
Times argues that in Florence coun-
ty the authorities ought to see right
away what can be done this winter
and spring in the way Of road build
ing. There is need in Florence county
that much work of this kind be done
1t says, and it thinks that even though
times are hard the county could
make the necessary financial arrange
ments. THE turning loose Of 500,
600 for road building in Florence
county," 1t argues, would give many
man the means Of supplying the
food to his family without which they
must face actual starvation
and Courier.
Yes, the suggestions are all good;
but how hopeless! 1t Is easy enough
to think out what should be done. but
the question is how to get things
started. 1t seems that in a time like
this, a great majority Of the people
who have money are disposed to hold
on to it as If their salvation were at
stake, and there you are. The coun-
try has ample resources to take care
Of itself in this emergency If it will
only make proper use Of those re-
sources.

There should by all means be re-
assessment Of real etate, as financial
conditions have materially lowered all
real estate values and will keep them
down for years to come. With income
from this source greatly cut off 1t Is
nothing but right and proper to own
ers of real estate that they should be
given an opportunity to reduce as
sessments.-Chester Reporter.
The observations Of our contem-
porary are we'll meant; but they dc
not go far enough to more than bare
ly open up the subject. Real estate
assessments are no doubt too high all
over the state. This is largely, If not
entirely, because Of our imperfect tax
laws. Everything lodges that car
dodge, and as real estate cannot very
we'll hide, it has to bear the brunt
Indeed, we are not very far away in
this state from the Henry George
single tax idea. But unless we are
really going to adopt the single tax
idea, what is needed more than any
thing else, is a complete revision OF
our tax laws, through tax commits
sion, If you will, and undertake the
establishment Of a system that will
make all kinds Of property bear their
just proportion Of the burdens Of gov
ernment. All Of our best informed
lawmakers, as we'll as intelligent prop
erty owners generally, understand the
terribly unjust conditions that obtain
under present practices; but it seems
that nobody has the ability or the
courage to go down after the trouble
and try to straighten it out. We ven-
ture that II the tax laws Of South
Carolina were honestly observed as
they now stand on the books, the
burdens Of the people who are now
paying seventy-five per cent Of the
taxes, would be so lightened as tc
make them almost feel as If they were
paying no taxes at all. OF course, the
tax on real estate is now too high;
but undertake to reduce that tax with
out thorough overhauling Of the
whole system, and the principal result
would be a still further annual de-
felt in the revenues Of the state.

Although the public may not fully
appreciate the fact, it is exceedingly
CALLING to all thorough-going newspa.
per men to have to print such cooked
up dispatches as are coming from
Europe about the war, without know
ing whether they are true or untrue;
but at the same time, realizing that
much that is important is entirely
suppressed. Just such condition OF
affairs has not previously existed. fol
even in the Russo-Japanese war, the
newspapers were able to get fairly
accurate accounts from the front. and
there were not nearly so many mis-
representations Of facts. Except fol
the enterprise Of the big papers in
sending trained men as near to the
front as it was possible to get them
the public knowledge of real condi-
tions would be much less that 1t is
and as it is, that knowledge is little
enough.
