a strawberry grower in Maryland who

which he asserted was worth while,
and took his word against my skep-

April 9th. The lovely, sweet and
high favored fruit am now enjoying
is the result; and as blossoms and
green fruit are crowding the ripening
berries, I expect there will be straw
berries for some weeks. The differ

in June is that all of these are sweet
and high favored, while some of the
June berries are not. I am convert

An Anglo-French bond commission,
consisting of distinguished English and
French financiers, Is in New York try
...g 10 adjust the exchange situation
that has been unsettled as the result
of such tremendous purchases Of war
munitions and the like in America.
The exchange rate Of both pounds and
francs has gone down, down, down,
BILE to make any calculations as to
what a given purchase is going to cost
them, even after the price has been
fixed. The commission astonished the
New York bankers Monday by propos-
ing that Great Britain and France de-
sire to borrow in America one billion
dollars on government bonds, the
money to be used solely for the pur-
pose Of paying for purchases in Amer
lea. There had been talk to the eff
feet that the commission would pro-
pose to secure the loan with Ameri-
can stocks and bonds held abroad,
and the surprise came when the COM
mission left the idea Of security out
of the proposition. 1t happens that
many of the largest and most import
ant bankers of New York are Ger
mans. These Germans were ignored in
the original proposals. and that made
feeling. Then there came a protest
from western bankers, who were OPP
posed to any such loan being made in
America, and their protests were &C
companied by threats to the effect that
il an effort was made to loan England
and France a billion dollars, the ef-
tort would be met by the raising of
half a billion dollars for Germany,
and this would tie up the currency
situation in America in a way that
would put the whole country to
squealing. The members Of the Brit
ish and French commission say that
unless the loan goes through, the AL
lies will all purchases in Ameri-
ca except purchases Of war munitions,
and will pay for them in gold. The
whole matter remains unsettled and
what the outcome is going to be Is
problematical.

state gave a majority for prohibition.
Governor Tillman took the ground
that inasmuch as those voting for
prohibition did not constitute a ma
jority Of those voting in the election
Of that year., the vote was not to be
taken as binding on the Reform party.
Governor Tillman, however, felt that
something must be done, and at the
suggestion Of Larry CAN'T, then editor
of the Columbia Record, he inaugu-
rated the dispensary system. This IN
theory proved an abomination and a
curse, more especially because Of the
corruption that naturally grew out of
it; but we are not prepared to say
that after all it has not been a good
thing for the state. 1t is certain that
the experience of the past twenty
four years has been worth a great deal
and we are probably closer to prohi-
bition now than if we had made the
attempt in 1891. But be this as 1t
may, at last we have statewide pro-
hibition, and we sincerely hope that
the various counties Of the state will
vie with each other in a competition
having for its object the strict en-
forcement of the law.

Mr.. N. M. McDill, cashier Of the
Bank of Hickory Grove, returned to
Hickory Grove last week after a
thirty sly day trip into the western
states. His tour also included the
Panama-Pacihc exposition at San
Francisco and numerous other places
Of more or less interest. In CONVERSE
ton with a representative Of The
Enquirer the other day, Mr.. McDill
talked Interestingly and entertain
ingly Of his tour of the Golden West.
1t is a great country, he remark
ed, and people Of South Carolina and
York county could learn much from
the people of the western states. Dr.
versified farming, in Mr.. McDills
opinion is very largely responsible for
the healthy financial condition Of af-
fairs there. Most of the farming Is
done by machinery and the people
there are quick to get onto the latest
in that line. The tourist was also
greatly impressed with the monster
mines in Colorado, the great horse

the beautiful fields Of corn, alfalfa
and other crops which he saw while
traversing Illinois, Indiana and other

In the west, said Mr.. McDill,
they know nothing Of the war-that
is, there is no stringency Of money:
There is plenty Of it-folk are loaded
down with it. It's all gold and silver
money. You hardly ever see any cur
rency. And to exchange a lot Of gold
or silver for dollar bills. well, you
Just can't hardly do it.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR
London Summary Of Developments az
They Appeared Yesterday.

American meat products, owned by
Chicago packers and valued at nearly
SIS, 900, 900, have been forfeited to the
crown by the British prize court. These
products composed the cargoes OF the
four Norwegian steamships seized last
fall. The judgment was based on evil
dence that the products were destined
for Germany.
Hard fighting continues on the
eastern wal front. Additional Ger
man successes in the region Of Dvinsk
in northwest Russia, are reported by
Berlin. The Russians are strenuously
resisting IN many fronts, but the leu
tons are making progress, according
to their versions at all points along
the eastern battle front.
In the Dvinsk section the Germans
have moved a to Jacogstadt, and
20 miles northeast Of Dvinsk they
have forced the Russians across to
the right bank Of the Dvina. In the
central sector, due east Of Warsaw,
Pinsk has been taken by the Austro.
Germans, and it is declared the terri
tory between the Pripet and JaSiolda
rivers also is in their hands.
On the western front along the
Austro-Italian lines Of battle there has
been nothing but heavy artillery en-
gagements, which seemingly are with
out important results.
Constantinople, in reporting o. the
recent fighting on the Gallipoli PEN
~insula, says the Turks near Anafarta
dispersed the Allies by a surprise at
tack and that the Ottoman forces
have successfully bombarded Allied
positions near Seddul-Bahr, Cape Hell
les, the landing place at Lake Burfnu
and batteries at Hissarlik.
Up to August 81, the British casual
ties in the Dardanelles were $3.50.
OF this total 1865 officers and men
were killed. The British submarine
Ell, which has been carrying import
ant operations in the Dardanelles and
the sea of Marmora has been given
up for lost by the British admiralty.
The Russian duma has been proro-
gued until the middle Of November.
The only opposition to the proroga-
ton was on the part Of a section Of
the Laborites and Radicals.
Russia has called to the colors the
reserves Of the territorial army.
France, it is stated, also purposes to
call out a contingent of 400, 900 youths
Of Is and 10 years Of age, who in
peace would begin their military SER
vice in 1917. The 1916 contingent
already is in camp waiting to be sent
to reinforce the army in the autumn.

TO HOLD THEIR JOBS

at looks tonne" remarked a well
known York county citizen who serv-
ed as a petit juror in the United States
district court in Rock Hill, Tuesday,
that some of these deputy marshals,
revenue men and others connected
with the Federal government, often
hale defendants into the court merely
because they realize they must do
something to convey the idea that
they earn their pay. Now of course,
all of them don't do that; but it hap
pens quite often.
"A case in point" continued the jul
ror, occurred in the court in Rock
Hill Tuesday. A man who conducts a
little store in Gaffney, was summoned
before the court to answer the charge
Of not scratching a revenue stamp on
a cigar box. He plead guilty and paid
a fine Of $25 because hat was the
easiest way out of the matter.
From the best information 1 could
get, he was not the least bit guilty. 1t
appears that an agent Of the United
States revenue department visited this
mans store while the proprietor was
out. The merchants son, who clerk
ed in the store, had just sold the last
of a box of cigars and had not then
destroyed the stamp.
Anyway, when the proprietor came
back to his place, he found this reve-
nue. agent prying around behind his
counter. The agent had not introduce
ed himself and the proprietor did not
have the slightest idea who he was.
Naturally the man was angered at
seeing this stranger behind his count
er. He ordered the fellow out of the
store, using certain language which is
not to be found in school books. The
agent proceeded to get out and as he
passed by the showcase, noticed the
empty cigar box from which the stamp
had not been removed. Selling this,
he informed the merchant in effect
that he would make him sweat for
'cussing' him. He Immediately made
out a case against the merchant for
his failure to destroy the revenue
stamps which had been used.
This Gaffney merchant resolved to
