WITHIN THE TOWN

The rush Of cotton to the ginnery
continues; but people are not in such a
big hurry to sell.
The new court house is now about
60 per cent completed and the First
National Bank building is about the
same.
Mr.. Louis Roth's liberal offer to
take cotton at 10 cents on fertilizer and
supply accounts, is coming in for much
commendation; and the spirit of the
offer is spreading.
Ella White, wife Of the late Allen
White, colored, died at her home on
Liberty street yesterday morning fol-
lowing long period of i'll health. The
deceased was about 65 years old and
enjoyed the respect Of all residents of
the town, both white and black.
Aunt Sally Witherspoon, a well
known colored woman Of Yorkville,
died at her home in this place, yester-
day, after a period Of failing health ex-
tending over three years. Aunt Sally
was born in York county on July 4,
1924, as a slave of the Witherspoon
family, and afterward belonged to the
Reid family in Mississippi. Since the
war she has been serving in the COM
munity as midwife and was held in
high esteem by many people who have
found her trustworthy, loyal and true

The War and Depression.

Although there, is no good reason as
yet for believing that America is going
to be involved in the bloodshed incl
dent to the great war that Is now de-
vastating Europe, the thing has gone
far enough to enable us to realize that
the suffering, loss and ruin Of such an
overwhelming catastrophe extends far
beyond the firing lines.
Never perhaps, in the history OF this
country has our financial system been
in better shape in it's relation to our
internal affairs than now. 1t has been
many years since the country general
ly has been blessed with such abun-
dant crops, and if our industries gener-
ally have ever been in better shape
than now, it would be difficult to de-
termine just when and how. Yet In
spite of all this the country Is pervaded
by a business depression that is over
powering, battling and seemingly in
comprehensive.
So far as the south is concerned, OF
course the trouble arises out OF the
fact that there is no market for our
cotton crop. The nations that have
been furnishing the principal market
for a large part Of our product are en-
ploying the greater part Of their re-
sources in killing each other, and our
main reliance for a circulating medi-
um with which to keep the wheels Of
commerce running being thus cut off,
the resulting stagnatiOn is natural.
Though thoroughly familiar with the
complaint Of hard times" and accus-
toned to expressions of pessimism all
his days, the editor of The Enquirer
does not remember to have come in
contact with such a large number OF
discouraged people within the same
length Of time as within the past few
weeks And in our view of the matter
this situation is due not so much to
any really discouraging conditions as
to common inability to understand and
appreciate a situation that is so strange
and uncommon.
From some standpoints the outlook
is pretty blue; but we cannot believe
that ii is nearly as blue as 1t looks. 1t
is difficult to realize how our people
can fare so badly in the midst Of an
abundance so nearly everywhere ap-
parent. At the worst, the depression Of
prices and the checking of industry
can only be temporary. 1t does not seem
possible that the fearful war now 60
ing on can last a great while. 1t seems
reasonable that even If the war does
last longer than now seems possible,
commerce will not be slow to adjust it.
self along other avenues, and relief
will soon be in sight.
The main thing we are banking on
is that the war will have to come to a
close soon 1t seems impossible that 1t
can continue at the present rate, and
unless there develops further quarrels
as to the basis of e-adjustment-un
less Russia demands as her reward
more than England and France will
allow. peace is near at hand. and when
peace comes if at any time soon, the
resulting commercial activity will be
something amazing-more amazing in
fact that the present depression.

We are printing elsewhere in todays
issue some matter submitted by the
executive committee of the York Coun-
ty Cotton Congress, that was organ
lied in Yorkville last week. 1t requires
a good deal of space to handle all this
matter, and somehow we feel that the
space would have been used to better
advantage had it been devoted to the
publication Of lists of men who are
willing to buy bales Of cotton at lO
cents a pound. According to our view
of it, it is not next years crop that Is
needing protection; but this years
crop. If it were known today that
there would not be a bale of cotton
raised next year, the mills would buy
this years crop on the same basis that
they are now buying it, and they would
not think Of advancing the price sin
gle cent until the export demand comes
in to furnish competition that Will
make them pay better prices. The
remedy, If there is to be remedy, lies
in the cooperation Of disinterested
outsiders who may come in and fur
nish competition for the mills by buy
ing a part Of the crop themselves, or In
the devising Of some plan like the
state warehouse system, that will en-
able the producer to realize on his cot
ton while he keeps it out Of the hands
of the spinner. 1t may be fact, and
no doubt is a fact, that actuated by the
same spirit that is actuating the spin
ners. the cotton seed crushers have
laid their plans to buy cotton seed as
cheaply as possible, in order to make
greater profits out Of the products
thereof; but it is plain proposition
that if lint cotton can be sold at liv-
ing profit, the sellers will be that much
more able to hold their cotton seed
until the seed crushers are willing to
pay something more like what they are
worth. OF course, since an extra ses-
sion Of the legislature has already been
called, maybe it makes no difference
what kind of resolutions are passed by
the mass meeting to be held in York
Vile, next Saturday; but we would re-
gret to see it's former action sidetrack-
ed by such suggestions as are now be-
ing proposed

Prooress of the War,

The dispatches do not give anythin
like a comprehensive idea of the re-
spective positions of the German and
Allied forces in France; but il seems
To be reasonably certain that the Ger
mans who a week ago were within
,hirty-five or forty miles of Paris al
the nearest point, are not now nearer
than ninety miles to the French capi-
tai.
The change in position is the result
of five days fighting during which the
French and English have slowly and
steadily beaten the Germans back, and
while some of the dispatches from
French sources give the idea that the
Germans are now in full retreat to
their own frontiers, this is to be ac-
cepted only as reasonable possibility
rather than a strong probability.
There are indications that while the
Germans have retired some fifty or
sixty miles from the most advanced
front they have held, and that this re-
tirement was because the Allies proved
