Plans For York Fair.

The editor of The Times has
received copy of the premium
list of the York County Fair
association. A perusal of this
booklet shows that around 81. 500
is being offered to the farmers
OF York county for exhibits to be
placed at the fair. which will be
held on October Ia. Is and IS.
The premium lists cover every
product of the soil, and premiums
are also offered on live stock,
the Judging of which will be one
of the features of the fair. In
the woman's department there
are premiums offered on prac-
tically every article that can be
made in the home. both in the
culinary and art department.
In letter accompanying the
premium list. the management
of the Fair Association states
that the prospects are fair for a
most successful fair. Hundreds
of farmers through the county
will have exhibits and several
hundred horses and mules are
being entered. The grounds of
the association are new, having
been recently completed. In ad-
dition to the exhibits. one of the
fastest one-half mile race tracks
in the State has been built to a
standard grade. There will be
quite number of racing events
each day. The amusements will
be varied, and the management
states in the premium list that
only high-class amusements have
been secured. There are a num-
Der of free attractions, including
two aeroplane flights and two
high dive acts. 1t would seem
that every effort is being made
to give everyone who attends the
fair more than their moneys
worth" of entertainment, and it
is expected that the attendance
will fully justify the effort put
forth by the fair management.

RESULT OF Big BATTLE
MAY DETERMINE VIGT0RS

Furious fighting continues in
northern France where the
Allied French and British armies
are at grips with the German
forces in what is characterized
as the crucial action of the bat
tie of the Aisne. Beyond adj
mitting this fact the official
statements are vague. Few de-
tails of the struggle which may
be the. turning point of the
Western campaign have been
given the waiting public.
One sentence: There is no
change in the situation" epito-
mizes the official reports from
London. Paris and Berlin. The
Allies claim to have made slight
advances here and there. notably
on the heights of the Meuse.
The German official statement.
however. declares that reports
concerning victorious advance
of the enemy are untrue.
Both the British and the
French official statements refer
to the violence Of the attacks
made by the Germans, who
seem 10 have redoubled their
efforts in an attempt to hurl
back the Allied line. The re-
ports indicate, however. that
the French and British have
given no ground.
A very rigorous censorship
evidently has been imposed at
virtually all points. particularly
in London. regarding the opera
tionS at the front as very little
news is being permitted to come
through. The war officials prob
ably hesitate to raise the hopes
of the people without some de-
cisive result having been at
tanned and fear that the publ
cation of even the smallest de-
tails of the operations might be
Of aid to the Germans.

The Day of Prayer,

PRESIDENT Wilson'S proclama-
tlon calling for national day
OF prayer on October 4 for the
cessation of war in Europe
probably is without precedent in
this or any other country. But.
If so, it is the most beautiful
precedent that has ever been
set IN any nation. There are
prayers for peace in our prayer
books. and days of prayer for
the speedy termination of wars
have been often fixed by official
proclamation in countries en-
gagged in them: but for a neutral
nation of more than $4,000, 0C0
OF people to get down on its
knees and pray for peace in
other countries will be one of
the most impressive, as we'll as
one of the most unusual. specta-
cles ever presented on earth.
We believe everybody in the
United States will offer up a
prayer on that day in the earnest
spirit OF altruism. which the
Presidents message suggests.
And If anything can make a
path for peace where men can
see none" we believe unselfsh
supplication from the heart of a
great country can open the door
of a divine compassion. The

Thinks Levers Chances Fair.

The Fort Mill Times picks
Congressman Lever as the sue
cessor of Senator Tillman in the
United States Senate. No doubt
Congressman Lever will offer
for Senator Tillman's seat when
1T becomes vacant, and doubtless
a number of other gentlemen
will do so. However, as Lever
is farmers man, like Senator
Smith, his chances of success
would seem to be fair. The
farmers outnumber the voters of
all other classes in South Caro-
lima and can elect almost any
man to office. Rock Hill Even

Seek Money for Farmers.

The bill which members of the
South Carolina delegation in con-
gress have been working on for
the past week with a view of re-
lieving the cotton situation was
introduced in the house Monday,
says Washington dispatch to
The State. The main provisions
are for the sum of $500, 600. 900
in denominations of not less than
81 and not more than 500. which
would be loaned either to actual
producers of cotton or to those
upon whose land it is grown.
Solvent banks. either State or
national, could receive this money
under proper supervision of the
government authorities. Loans
would not exceed market value
of the cotton but the value of
the staple shall be equal to that
of the loan. The rate of interest
Is placed at A per cent. and loans
would be secured either by bill
of sale or warehouse receipts af-
ter the cotton Is properly graded,

Would Tax Cotton Lands.

Convinced by the history of
the Rock Hill plan" of 1911,
which was of his devising, that
pledges of cotton acreage re-
duction are practically worthless,
and believing that the financing
OF the present crop is relatively
simple matter, the important
thing being the restriction some
how of next years crop. John
g. Anderson of Rock Hill has
proposed that the South Caro-
lima general assembly. called to
meet in extra session October 6,
take the initiative in regulating
the planting of 1915 by making
cotton growing subject to State
license.
Mr.. Anderson is in Columbia
to consult with influential peo-
pie regarding the feasibility of
his plan. He has laid it before
Senator Smith and several other
members of the South Carolina
delegation in congress and has
asked Wade Stackhouse. Nj. ID f.

Carolina division, Southern Cot
