A New York dispatch says that sew
eral of the Federal reserve banks and
leading state banks of New York,
have taken up the matter Of stand
ardizing cotton warehouse receipts
where the same have been issued un-
der state supervision as is the case in
South Carolina, Louisiana and Texas.
The effect Of this movement, If carried
to it's logical conclusion. will give i'm
mediate recognition to state ware
house receipts throughout the world
as the most acceptable form Of liquid
security into which cotton can be con-
verted.

Speaking last week of the practical
necessity for the new Federal western
district court of South Carolina, Judge
Johnson said that the commonly ex-
pressed opinion that the district is not
necessary is very much in error. The
value of a Federal district court, he
explained, depends very much on its
accessibility. There is much litiga-
ton that can be disposed of in the
Federal court to better advantage
than in the state court; but it is very
often the case that such business is
neglected by reason of the time and
expense involved in reaching a FEEDER
al judge. For instance, it would take
a case of some little Importance to
warrant a Greenville lawyer making

WITHIN THE TOWN

Rev. ]. G.. Dale, an A. R. P. mis-
sionary to Mexico, preached in the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian
church Sunday evening in the absence
Of the pastor, Rev. ]. L. Oates.
There were quite a number Of peo-
pie from Glover, Fflbert and York
Vile to go on the excursion to Edge
mont over the C. &. NV. Saturday
However, the majority Of the excur-
sionists joined the train after the North
Carolina line was reached. The excur.
sion, which started from this place
left Yorkville shortly after o'clock
Saturday morning. 1t was near mid
night Saturday when 1t returned.
A marriage which came as a sur
prise to the many friends Of the
young people was that Of Miss Emily
Boyd and Mr.. Jack Anderson, which
took place at the Presbyterian manse
Saturday afternoon, Rev. DR.. E. E.
Gillespie reforming the ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson are residents
Of the Cannon mill, where they will
continue to reside. Both are well
known in this section.
AN excursion running between
Chester and Lenoir and patronized eX-
clusively by negroes, took on a mum :
ber Of passengers at this place yester-
day morning, although 1t has been
learned that most Of them were drop
ped at Glover on account Of the dis
orderly conduct Of number OF ne
groes who had boarded the train be-
tween here and Chester. Several OF
the local negroes returned on the
southbound freight yesterday after
noon while 1t was late in the night
before the excursion train came
back.
Adam In Town Again." was the
subject of Rev. Mr.. Kings sermon at
the Cannon mill chapel to men only
Sunday afternoon, and during the
service he held the closest attention
of the $50 or more men present. Bas-
ing his remarks on the third chapter
of Genesis, Mr.. King pointed out that
while man was being constantly
tempted to sin, there Is but little or
no excuse for men to yield to that
temptation. He said that the man
who professed to be a Christian and
at the same time would at any and all
times take advantage of his fellowman
in q business deal of any kind, was
not a Christian. He also paid his re-
spects to the evils that are coming out
Of the picture shows that are showing
pictures that tend to exemplify and
glorify crime or immortality. That
such pictures are having their effect
in perverting the minds Of young peo-
pie and causing them to commit va
rious crimes and sins that they would
not do If it were not for the sugges-
tions of the movies. The speaker
also paid his respects in most unmis-
takably plain language to the double
standard of living"-One standard for
men and another for wonderland
illustrated some Of the evils and pen
alties that grow out Of this practice.
He said that every community needs
and must have men who lived clean
lives. A type Of men who think, who
are big, brave, and strong enough to
say no when they are tempted. Men
who stand for truth and right think
ing in both public and private life.
A feature Of the service was the sing
ing of a number Of familiar hymns by
the men, lead by Mr.. E. L. Wolslagel,
who proved himself to be a choirmas-
ter and leader, as well as soloist of
unusual power.

Church and the Liquor Traffic.

In the issue Of The Enquirer for
June 25, we commented on the fail
ure of Lloyd Georges efforts to con-
troll the liquor traffic in England, and
charged responsibility therefor to the
nobility of England and to the Church
of England.
Our statement was made on the
strength of newspaper dispatches: but
we did not see proper to cite such dis
patches as authority, or any other au-
thority. for the reason that the state
ments were SO completely in line with
information that we had been gather
ing from various sources throughout
a lifetime, and in the truth of which
we so sincerely believe, that it never
occurred to us that anybody would try
to raise a question as to the correct
ness of what we had to say.
Among other things we said that
the Established Church Of England
has revenues amounting to millions
from various liquor sources" THAT
the Church exerted it's powerful influ-
ence secretly and openly to hold
things as they are" and THAT it is
very probable that if England fails it
will be on account. of liquor and be-
cause the Established Church holds its
revenues from the liquor business
above the continuance of the empire"
Later there came a communication,
which though not disputing any of
the statements we made; but rather
virtually admitting a foundation for
such statements, called upon us for
proof-other- than was secured from
newspaper gossip and magazine arti
cles.
We had no proof at hand at the
time other than the kind that had
been tabooed, and said so; but since
then we have been furnished with
some data that ought to prove rea-

this year Is no exception. At present
the corn Is about three and a half or
four feet high. carries a rich dark
green color and looks as II 1t might
be good for a hundred bushels to the
acre. Mr.. r. T. Allison, who Is culti-
waiting this field, says he has put no
stable manure on 1t for several years,
but has been taking advantage Of a
volunteer growth of self-seeding vetch
and wild peas, which he turns under
in the spring. The patch attracts the
interested attention Of every passer by
who is at all familiar with the making
Of a corn crop.
Rock Hill Shipping Oats.
Rock Hill Herald: For the first
time in years, oats have been shipped
this summer from Rock Hill. The
Ware farm has sold already more
than 1000 bushels, while several other
farmers have made shipments. The
oats shipped were sold for IS cents
per bushel (. o. b. Rock Hill. These
were of the Appler and Hastings va
riety and were perfectly sound. The
sales were made through c. L. Cobb,
Of the Peoples National bank. In dis
cussing the sales he states that should
there be any farmers who wish to dis
pose OF tnelT oats, lie VIII De Bidu W
render such assistance as possible
without charge. He said he was not
advising the farmers to sell, nor did
he advise holding the oats. All oats
handled must be sound. 1t is under
stood that quite a number Of others
have disposed of surplus quantities Of
oats The yield in the community
this year is far greater than ever be-
fore many farmers raising from two
to five times as many as heretofore.
There is a good demand for the oats
Of goodly quality and it is not be-
lieved the farmers will meet with any
trouble in selling their surplus.

BOTH MEXICAN FACTIONS CLAIM
 GREAK. VICTORY
Washington Awaits Con- firmation of Crushing of
 Villa at Leon by Obregon.

Washington, June 7.-Advices bear ing out reports of a victory for Obre- gon, General Carranza's commander over Villa and Angeles at Leon, were awaited today by administration off cials who are interested in the possi- ble effect u. such turn on the Mexi- can situation. It was believed here that if Carranza has been victorious his next step would be an attempt to re-enter Mexico City and establish a government with view to obtaining recognition by the United States.
 Carranza representatives regarded the unofficial reports of the capture of Leon by Obregon an dthe routing of the Villa forces as evidence that the Villa movement soon would col lapse. Villa representatives, on the other hand, said their latest advices showed that Villa and Angeles had driven Obregon far south of Leon and that the main body of the Carranza army was in a critical position near Trinidad.
 Officials of the Washington govern ment aye observing with interest the informal efforts of Mexicans identified with the Villa-Zapata movement in Mexico to reconcile their differences with the Carranza faction with view to setting up government that could claim recognition by Washington These efforts, however, are as yet without official sanction. The Wash ington government has made no move for peace in the southern republic other than President Wilson's recent warning to the heads of the various military factions.

Teutons Now Only IS Miles from Capital of Galicia,
 With Slavs Impotent.
BRITISH EXPERTS
 BECOME ALARMED
With Russians Crushed, Kaiser Will Have LegiOns to Reinforce His Armies Fighting Against British
 and French in Flanders.

London, June 7-Battering it's way from the south, the Austro- German army, operating from stryjc, has ad vanced to within IS miles of Lem- burg, according to unofficial dis patches from Vienna
 According to the correspondent of the Vienna Reichspost, with the staff Of this southern army, the Teutons are now advancing to the north of Rezpwadow, only Is miles from Lem burg, and their drive is unstemmed.
 On the center, according to official statements, the troops of General ven Mackenzen, forming phanlanx along the railroad from lPrzemysl to Lemburg, the apex of which is cram med with heavy guns, have driven the Russians E1yond Wysnia, north east of Mosciska, and are surging forward in their tidal wave sweep which began west of Tarnow some weeks ago.
 On the Dnesiter, the legions of General Linsengen have effected a crossing at Zurawna, and have taken by storm a hill of commanding i'm portance to the north of the eastern bank of the stream. Everywhere be- fore these three massive forces the Russians are reported to be In re- treat.
 Brit0ns Take Alarm.
 Military experts view with alarr. the steady advance of the Teutons in Galicia. The developments of the last few days have had decided ef- feet upon the optimism of these ex- perts. who now fear that the unpre- cedented successes attending the Austro-G erman campaign in Galicia may have a serious effect upon operations in the west. The crush ing of the Russians at this time would release legions of Germans to reinforce the kaiser's western front, and it is reported that these rein forcements are already beginning to arrive.
 Russians Claim Victory.
 The Russians claim a victory of some proportions along the Pruth, but the Austran official statement received from Vienna states that while, violent attacks were made by the kaiser's trOo1S on the Pruth line, especially in the vicinity of Kolomea and Delatyn, they were put down, the Russians suffering severe losses.
 Now that the forces under Gen. von Linsengen, approching from the west, have captured Kalusz, the en- tire district othe north of Kalusz and the heights on the left bank of the Dneister, the Austrian troops have joined in the attack and are driving the Russians before them.
 Another success of great import ance reported for the first time is contained in the Vienna statement to- night. This communique states the Russians have been forced to evacu- ate Sieniawa, on the east bank of the San, where they defeated the Teutons several weeks ago and for a time threatened the success of the Austro-German campaign in Eastern Galicia.
 In the ope1 ations around Przemysl it is stated, the Austrians have taken
