TRAINS NOS, 7 and 8.

Trains Nos. and 8, which the C. &,
NV. railroad have been running from
Gastonia to Chester during the past
fourteen months, passing Yorkville 60
ing south in the morning and north In
the afternoon, are to be discontinued
after next Sunday.
These are the trains that were put
on during the latter part Of June of
last year under virtual order Of the
railroad commission which was moved
by Yorkville people, and people along
the line Of the road who brought to
bear all the influence they could exer-
else in the matter.
I'VE dislike very much to take this
train off," said General Manager Mich
OILS Of the c. & NV. yesterday; but
we simply cannot help ourselves. The
train has lost us money every month
since it has been on, and it is losing us
money now at faster rate even than
year ago, and we simply cannot
stand it any longer"
MI. NlCllOlS Sdlu lIldl lie CduScu "
be made a careful calculation Of the
receipts from the train and the ex-
penses Of running it during the whole
time Of it's operation, and he finds that
it has not come within fifty per cent of
paying expenses. In making this cal
culation, he said he had not charged
against the train any part Of the fixed
..nargeS of the road or ANYTHING else
except it's own expenses, the crew, the
repairs, fuel and the like, and on the
other hand he had given 1t credit for
every cent 1t had made, not even de-
Quoting the business that would have
been done by trains and 10.
1T Is hard times with the railroad"
Mr.. Nichols went on. Taking the
whole line over, we are going into the
hole every year, and it is necessary for
us to cut expenses to the quick to
make both ends meet This train is
one Of the heavy burdens we are car
rying, and we are simply compelled to
get rid Of it."

1t is said that food prices in Russia
are growing lower instead of higher by
reason of the fact that the export of
grain has been stopped. Food prices in
America are growing higher by reason
of the inordinate greed Of our Ameri-
can people to take advantage Of the
necessities Of the warning people. But
why should we do this? We cannot
get big profits abroad for food except
at the expense of people at home.
There is certainly no humanity in the
sale of food to the warning powers, be-
cause it only enables them to war and
kill each other that much longer. 1t
would be very well for America to put
an embargo on food; but she is going
to do nothing of the kind, not while
there is so much promise Of big profits.
The fact that scarcity Of food means
almost as much to this country as war
itself does not deter the people who
are after big money.

1t does not appear that Great Britain
is as much concerned about the num-
Der of ships the United States may
purchase from Germany and the
amount of money that might be paid
for them as she is about what the
United States might do with those
ships after she gets possession OF
them. Such fine ships as Germany has
is an amazing proposition to Great
Britain even while the ships are in
Germany and under the operation OF
German commercial agencies, to say
nothing: whatever of what might hap
pen after these ships should come in
possession and under the operation OF
the United States. The probability Is
that except for Germany's ships
those engaged in the carrying trade
Great Britain would not have been
mixed up in this war.

Twenty-seven officers and employees
of the National Loan and EXchanse
Bank Of Columbia, says the Columbia
Record, have each agreed to buy bale
of cotton at 10 cents a pound. Their
idea is to start "buy-a-bale" move
ment, with the purpose OF upholdlng
the price and helping the farmers. This
idea is a good one. Cotton is easily
worth 10 cents a pound and more. 1t
will prove an investment at that and
perhaps a good speculation. If the peo-
pie of the country, all who can Will
join this buy-a-bale movement, the
result will be something worth while.

The ENQUIRER will be glad to have a
list of York county people who are
willing to buy a bale Of cotton at ten
cents and hold to it until at least that
price is reached. The Enquirer will
take one 500 pound bale at 10 cents.
Mr.. ]. NJ. Stroup of Yorkville, will take
one or more bales and there are many
others who will do likewise; but to
make the movement most effective and
most beneficial, there should be organ
lied effort. There should be a long list
of volunteers and there should be fixed
a time for purchase and delivery. The
Enquirer will take pleasure in COM
piling a list Of all who desire to report.

Men make Il tremendous hullabaloo
about politics and get folks all fooled
up to thinking that if the election does
not go this way or that way every

The cotton seed oil market Is par
alyZed like unto the yarn market.
There is virtually no demand for cot
ton seed oil at the present time and
the oil mills are finding it difficult to
find buyers. 1t is hardly probable
however, that this condition of affairs
can continue. Cotton seed oil ranks as
an Indispensable food stuff. and the
people are bound to have it if they can
get the money with which to buy 1t.
Also there is bound to be demand for
both meal and hulls, commodities
which cannot be dispensed with.

TRUST BILLS" UP IN THE AIR"
Wilson Told That Committee Members
Doubt Action at This Session.

Washington, June 25. Some members
of the Senate judiciary committee are
becoming greatly discouraged concern
ing the passage of trust legislation, SEN
ator Hoke Smith called on the president
last night and told him that the -om-
mittee members have found so many
constitutional objections, to features of
the Clayton bill that they doubt the
possibility OF any action on it this ses-
sion.
Not only this, but the president will
be told that majority of the commit
tee believe the Newlands trade commits
sion bill to be unconstitutional. The
situation is such that the whole pro-
gramme of trust legislation may fall to
the ground
An amendment was made to-day by
the committee to that section of the
Clayton bill which provides that in a
suit brought for damages against a com
bination in restraint of trade a govern
ment decree previously obtained against
the offending combination should be con-
elusive evidence. The committee changed
it to "prima facie" evidence.
Owing. to the fact the committee once
sections =, 3 and 4 from the
bill and sent them to the interstate COM
merce committee and Senator Newlands
sent them back to the judiciary commit
tee there is much uncertainty on the
part of the latter as to what to do with
them. Also, there is much difference of
opinion whether to treat the subject
of interlocking directories and inter
corporate stockholdings.
Sections 2, 3, and 4 regulate trade
practices. and the committee has reach
ed tentative agreement regarding
them. 1t has eliminated entirely sec.
ton 3. which would prevent discrimi-
nation in the sale of products of mines,
oil, or gas wells, or hydro-electric plants.

Hair Made Beautiful

Beautiful hair, thick, fluffy, lustrous
and absolutely free from dandruff. is
not so much a gift of nature as a mat
ter OF care and proper nourishment.
Hair is like a plant-it will not grow
healthy and beautiful unless it has at
tention and proper nutriment.
Partisan Sage, daintily perfumed and
easily applied, tones up and invigorates
the roots Of the hair, and furnishes the
necessary nourishment to not only save
and beautify the hair, but also stimulate
it to grow long, heavy, soft, fluffy and
radiant with life.
When used frequently and rubbed into
the scalp, it will simply work wonders.
just one application stops itching head,
removes dandruff and eleanses the hair
of all dust and excessive oil.
Since Partisan Sage, which can be OBJ
tanned from the Red Cross Pharmacy or
at any drug store, never disappoints, it
is no longer necessary for any woman
to be Inundated because of thin, streaky,
faded, lifeless or unattractiye hair.-Adv

AND SIDES WITH
GEORGE w. PERKINS
Says President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan Are Sub
iects of Fun Abroad

New York, June 25.-The second home
coming of Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt within two months caused almost
as much stir among the Progressive
party leaders and friends of the former
as did the first on May 10 from South
America. Yesterday, as last month, Col,
Roosevelt's opinions on political ques-
tions drew Progressive leaders to this
city and for sometime the Roosevelt
home at Oyster Bay viii be the scene
of many conferences.
Upon his arrival, Roosevelt vigorous
Nv defended George W. Perkins, chair
man OF the Progressive national cxeeu-
tive committee, whose resignation as
chairman was demanded recently by
Amos Pinchot.
'When they read Perkins out they
will have to read me out too" said Col.
Roosevelt He reiterated he would not
be a candidate for the New York gov
ernorship.
In further statement Col Roosevelt
declared that the payment of $25,000,-
900 to Colombia for having secured the
right to build the Panama canal, as
provided for in the pending treaty, viii
be the payment of belated blacklnail.
If treaty is right, he said, the pres
ence of the United States in Panama
is wrong, and the United States should
abandon the zone.
His statement says the handling of
Our foreign affairs by Wilson and Bry
nm makes the 'nited States A figure
of fun in the international world.
Col Roosevelt devoted much of his
time OH the liner home to working on
the speech lie will deliver on June 80 at
Pittshurg. While on the trip Col. Roose
welt has been under the care of Doctor
Bossius, the ships physician, and APP
pears to have recovered entirely from
the attack OF fever which gave his
friends much concern on his arrival from
South America.
