SECOND HAIlSTORM

A second hailstorm, fully as de-
structive as that mentioned last Fri
day, visited pretty much the same ter
ritory on Saturday afternoon and
wrought still further damage.
The path Of the second storm ap-
pears to have been about mile wide
and it extended from the neighborhood
Of Bowling Green to a mile or two
south of Tirzah. passing Yorkville
about five miles to the northeast.
At some places along its path the
storm was rather light and did but
little damage, but at other points the
downpour Of hail lasted from five to
ten minutes and destroyed everything
in its path.
So far as information has been
gathered one Of the severest sufferers
was Mr.. r. E. Wingate, who lives on
the ]. ]. Miller place, about mile
south of Tirzah. Although generally
the hail was accompanied by wind, at
Mr.. Wingate's there was no rain until
after the hailstones had been coming
down for several minutes. OF 25-
acre cotton field, just up to a nice
stand, all but about two acres will
have t. be planted over. The crops Of
R. H. Gardner, Sam Roach and John
Simpson, near by, were also cut to
pieces,
There have been numerous reports
Of heavy damage to fruit along the
path Of the storm, in some places
complete destruction. and in others
losses Of varying degrees Of severity.
1t Is understood that the fine field
of wheat belonging to Mr.. w. j. Cor
don Of Yorkville No. 6, which was re-
Gently mentioned in The Enquirer as
holding out so much promise, Is al
most totally ruined and other farmers
living along Yorkville routes, 2, 6 and
Z, who had fine fields of grain will feel
the effect Of the destructive hail.
It has been the opinion of many
farmers that wheat and oats could not
be hurt by hail at this time; but the
destructive storm has shown the fall
lacy of that opinion. Luckily there
was not a great deal Of corn planted
in the storm-stricken area; but where
there was the great hailstones, which
measured from the size Of partridge
egg to some say guinea, cut the
young corn as though fail had been
used.
In no case was any farm so COM
pletely damaged that a total replant-
ing will be necessary; but among those
reported to The Enquirer as being
hard hit are the following: w. w.
Alexander. A. ]. Sturgis, s. E. Stur-
gis, Geo. r. Wallace, A. M. Wallace.
w. ]. Engle, Zan Carroll, o. w. Hart
ness, w. E. Gettys, Harvey Adkins,
w. s. Peters, Bradley Barnett, Mrs.
Kate McCarter, Milton Jackson, j. ].

CROPS LOOKING FINE

John R. Blair, York county farm
demonstration agent, who has been
making an inspecting tour through the
country during the past few days, is
we'll pleased with the prospects Of a
good crop Of wheat, oats and clover.
According to Mr.. Blair, some Of the
finest wheat and oats he has seen
are in Bethel township and one Of the
best fields of crimson clover he has
seen is that of DR.. T. N. Dulin of
Bethel. This field, which includes
about ten acres, was sown according
to government instructions and bids
fair to make good yield Of hay.
Mr.. w. B. Riddle Of the Bowling
Green section, has wheat field
which was sown in February and 1t
promises well-being fully equal to
most of that which was sown in No
vember and December.
Mr.. Blair says that the wheat fields
of Mr.. w. B. Keller Of Yorkville No.
l, are the most promising he has seen
anywhere This wheat was sown af-
ter clover and without fertilizer. About
so pounds of nitrate Of soda was put
on half the field; but the other half
which had no soda at all looks just
as we'll and promises just as good a
yield.

The newspapers have had their say
on the early phases Of the Lusitania
incident, and that say seems to have
developed beyond question that there
is a very large section Of the Ameri-
can press that is standing ready to
push this country into a declaration
Of war with Germany at the first OPP
portunity. The effort was made in
connection with the sinking Of the
Lusitania, and it would have easily
succeeded except for the fact that
President Wilson kept his head. That
the thing is to be repeated in connec-
ton with some other incident is rea-
sonably certain; but in the meantime
let us look into the justice Of the
thing as it appears on it's face. Eng
land undertook to blockade German
ports. She had right to do 1t If she
could. She could and did. But the
blockade of German ports was not
sufficient. and England undertook to
blockade all ports, hostile and neu-
reach Germany. She had no right to
do this; but she did it. Our own ma
ton protested but did not resist. Eng
land asserted her right to hold up and
search ships on the high seas. The
United States protested, but did not
resist Germany cut off from inter-
course with the outside world, declar-
ed her submarine blockade. The fam
Gus U-9, that had sunk the Hogue,
Cressy and Aboukir, held up a Brit
ish passenger ship in the North sea;
but the gallant commander, being un-
willing to sink the vessel without CIV
ing the women and children chance
to get away, was himself sunk by a
torpedo boat convoy while he was
waiting. After that no other German
commander cared to take such risk,
and the Lusitania was sunk without
warning. There is no justification fol
the sinking Of the Lusitania, neither
Is there any justification for the block
ade of neutral ports because Germany
can be reached through them. There
is no justification for the ruin Of Bel
gium by the Germans, and neither is
there any justification for the ruin of
East Prussia by the Russians. Ger
many is not to be excused for taking
the lives of Americans on the Lusita-
mia: but is the British government to
be excused for allowing the Lusitania
to sail through water infested by Ger
man submarines? II was the British
admiralty who, before the tragedy,
urged Americans that there was no
danger and who after the tragedy de-
clared that it did not have sufficient
resources to convoy such vessels as the
Lusitania. When we think of the cir
cumstance of American lives being
sacrificed as victims of German sub
marine it makes us see red as against
the Germans: hut when we think that
except for Rritish duplicity and Brit
ish cowardice which was willing to
sacrifice those Americans for the pur-
pose of melting us against the Ger
mans the red gets thicker. However,
it is quite clear that Mr.. Wilson sees
through the whole thing, and does not
propose to let either side use us
against the other if he can help it.

lnternins the Germans.-Several
thousand subjects Of enemy countries
Of military age, says a London cable
Of last night, were sent to internment
camps today. The majority Of them
were men who voluntarily surrendered.
At least 1000 came from the Soho
district of London, while those In the
East End waited for the police to take
them Many Of the prisoners were
owners Of small businesses, which
they have disposed Of since the order
for a general internment was issued
by the government. Those remaining
at large and for whom there Is no
room In the camps have been ordered
not to leave their homes between
o'clock in the evening and o'clock in
the morning. This action on the part
Of the government and the fines and
Imprisonment inflicted upon men. wo-
men and boys who wrecked and looted
German shops have virtually put an
end to the rioting.

The Greenville News last week took
occasion to make a sensible and point
ed reply to the criticism Of Chatau-
qua lecturer who complained at the
News because Of its neglect to give an
extended summary Of his lecture after
the same had been delivered. The
News pointed out how 1t had given ex-
tended advance notices Of the lecture,
not so much because it felt bound to
do so, as because it felt that the lee
ture was worth while, and it wanted
the people who might be interested to
go out and hear it. After the lecture
had been delivered the newspaper was
busy about other things, including the
matter of getting the wherewithal to
make a living. The lecturer, it ap-
pears, was even critical of the News
on this account, complaining because
the space occupied by certain paid ad-
vertising was not being put to as good
use as If it had been occupied by a
summary Of his lecture. All that the
News said in reply was proper and to
the point, except it may have made
mistake in paying any attention to
this fellow at all, though if an editor
is ever allowed an expression Of per-
sonal feeling on any account, he Is not
to be blamed for such indulgence on
this occasion. To be sure the lecture
was a good thing, and we'll worth the
price of admission; but so also Is the
advertising space of the newspaper a
good thing and well worth the price
asked for it. Except for door receipts
there would be no lecture and except
for advertising and subscriptions there
would be no newspaper. 1t is not fair
to say that either the lecture or news
paper Is altogether for money; but
one is hardly less so than the other,
and by what right this lecturer under
takes to criticise a newspaper that
owes him nothing either by way of
duty to itself or it's readers, we do not
see.

If the Riggs bank people should be
upheld in their contention that the
animus of the activities of McAdoo
and williams is persecution, notwith-
standing the fact that they are guilty
of the various things charged, it would
seem that the laws intended for the
regulation Of national banks could
have but little respect in the future.
1t may be that there are hundreds Of
other national banks that have been
doing all the things alleged against the
Riggs bank; but If these things are in
violation Of law, there is no excuse for
any of them.
