WITHIN THE TOWN

1T is the universal verdict that the
new courthouse is a splendid building
- Automobiles are more common
now than bicycles were twenty years
ago.
- Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary of
the supreme court, is to deliver the
principal address on the occasion of
the dedication of the new courthouse
- The farmers generally were too
busy with their crops last Saturday to
leave them for any purpose. The
common report was that almost ev-
erybody is getting out Of their grass.
- Cannon G. Co. will soon have an
additional GO looms running in it's
Yorkville mill, thus giving the local
plant total of 364 looms, all running
on toweling. The additional looms are
to be driven by direct connected
motors.
- There has been pretty nearly q
flour famine in Yorkville during the
past few days. The flour market hav-
ing taken turn downward after a
long period of high levels, dealers
tried to hold their stocks down as
close as possible to keep from getting
caught with too much on hand
- There has been some little talk
about Yorkville within the past week
as to the feasibility of organizing and
operating a third bank here to do a
general business. Opinion is divided
as to the matter. Some interests de-
sire the organization of a third bank,
and others insist that such an insti-
tuition is not necessary.
- There have been a number Of deals
in real estate within the past ten days,
and there seems to be evidence of a
developing sentiment to the effect that
after all real estate is a good invest
ment. Discussing the subject q few
days ago, Mr.. Geo. w. Williams, who
has quite lot of local properties un-
der his management, said that al
though owners continue to hold firm
and buyers have not yet been able to
get quite up to the sale price, the two
are getting closer and closer together,
and deals are occurring with more
frequency. According to the view of
Mr.. Williams. there is rather more

II has been officially announced
from Washington that the president is
going to send the British government
note along the lines proposed by
Congressman Webb; but there is no
certainty as to whether the note will
be sent before the receipt Of reply
to the current note to Germany. The
real fact of the matter is that Great
Britain is guilty of just as fragrant
violation Of International law as is
Germany. She has assumed to hold
up American consignments whether
of cotton or other products. and
whether shipped direct to Germany or
neutral ports and without any shadow
Of legal justification. If it is the law
we are after enforcing. there is just
as much reason for us to go after
Great Britain as after Germany.

ter suit against several officers Of the

The presumption is that Russia Is
seriously embarrassed for lack of mu-
nitions of war. She has men without
limit almost; but she is unable to arm
them, or provide them with cartridges.
That was the information sent out
from Petrogard in explanation Of the
Russian reverses in Galicia. Since
then Russia is claiming that she has
new supplies. Her explanation Is that
she was getting arms and ammunition
from Japan; but when Japan seemed
about to get into war with China, she
held up on her exports until the situa-
ton grew brighter. Now she is ship
ping arms to Russia again. This sto-
ry may be true, or it may be only an
invention suggested by the necessity
of counteracting the damage that had
been caused by the admission of her
almost defenseless condition. The next
few days, however, will develop the
truth.

There are those who suggest that
one Of the immediate advantages OF
war with Germany would be the seiz-
ure by the United States Of 100000
900 worth Of interned ships now In
American harbors. We do not like the
sound of that. AS advantageous as
might be the possession Of 500, 0,000,-
600 worth Of ships, it will pay us much
better to rely on the fair and honest

Opinion is divided in Great Britain
as to whether it would be best for the
allies If the United States should de-
clare war against Germany. The prop
osition is pretty difficult to figure out,
and we suspect the main feature Of it
relates to the furnishing Of ammuni-
ton, although we confess that the
matter involves principles with which
we do not feel at all familiar. 1t would
follow, however, that If the allies dc
not desire war, the Teutons would be
very we'll pleased to have more war. o.

STATE TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL

York county physicians have %re-
ceived the following letter from the
state board Of health advising them
of the establishment Of state hospital

1T is with pleasure that the tuber-
culosis committee Of the state board
Of health announces the opening Of the
South Carolina state sanitorium for

ately advanced tuberculosis. The san
itorium Is located at State Park, eight

If the citizenship of Fairfield coun-
ty will now do it's duty as Sheriff
Hood did yesterday, there will be no

There was not a shadow of justifica-
ton for the assembling of that mob
to take that negro out of the hands of
the law, and if the law is to be up
held every man whose connection with
the mob can be established, must be
punished. The widespread feeling
that the rapist should be killed like a
mad dog is natural; but it ought to
be self-evident to every reasonable
mind, that this feeling cannot be al
lowed, else law can never be estab-

Announcement has been made that
Mr.. Bryan is going to stump Kentucky
in behalf Of prohibition. Good. 1t
will be remembered that Lloyd-George
is on record as saying that alcohol has
done more harm to the British cause
than German bullets. Kentucky fur
nishes more liquor than any other
state, and to the extent Mr.. Bryan
may be able to curtail the supply, he
will help the cause of America, wheth-
er the men are called upon to go to
war or not.

One of the arguments" used in
that recent campaign for changing
the name Of Yorkville to York was
that Andersen, which YVES sonce

was just about like the various ar
guments used in connection with the
matter. Anderson was never "Ander-

Capt. Herzig, commander Of the
German submarine that sunk the two
British battleships, Majestic and Tri-
umph. off the Dardanelles the other
day. has told his story to a corre-
spondent of the Associated Press. The
submarine is known as the No 81,
which left Wilhelmshaven on April
25. with q crew of thirty-three men
aboard, and sailed distance of 5000
miles down the coast Of France to
Spain, and through the Strait Of Gil
braltar and the Mediterranean. Capt.
Herzig says he went through the
Strait Of Gibraltar in the early morn
ing cruising along the surface in
plain view without drawing a shot.
He said he was fired on by a British
destroyer while passing along the
coast of England, and again within
a hundred miles of Gibraltar. He en-
countered hostile ships Of the enemy
in the Mediterranean: but dived for
safety under fire. Again he was fired
on by a French destroyer off Malta.
He arrived off the Dardanelles on
May %. having come through in a
month. Next day he came to the SUR
face and saw the two big battleShips.
