"a have a crow to pick with you,'
said Captain G. P. Smith Of Rock Hill,
to the editor of The Enquirer yester-
day morning. II came into your Office
on the day the courthouse was dedi-
Gated, paid you 81 for the renewal of
my subscription, and you did not even
make a mention Of the fact that l was
in town." We herewith beg leave to
even up with the genial captain. He
was at the Filbert picnic yesterday,
and this column would not furnish suf-
flcient space to record the m of all
the people he met and shook hands
with.

could be but small demand for their
tremendous crop of raw cotton, and
it was simply out of the question to
create an artificial market so far In
advance Of real values, etc.
What we have actually seen Is ex-
actly the opposite of what we have
been told. Instead Of there being a
smaller demand for cotton, the de-
mand has been larger than ever. In
stead of the cotton being manufactur
ed into goods that would help to re-
duce prices on present and future
markets it has been destroyed-an-
initiated. Instead of a glut there are
prospects of a famine. And we are
confronted by the fact that whether
the war goes on and continues the de
mand for powder, or comes to an end
and permits a renewal Of the demands
Of commerce, the supply Of cotton
will not nearly be up to requirements
At present cotton is tied up more
or less by embargoes levied principal
ly at the instance of England, which
country has ample supplies for her
Immediate needs and some to spare to
her allies. England is fixing h pres
ent low price and preventing the free
sale to Germany, Austria and other
countries that would gladly enter the
market and increase the price to the
consumer.
The situation is one Of hardship to
think it can only.b be relieved by very
drastic action on the part of the
United Satisfaction that would seem
to seriously threaten war.
It is quite probable that the United
States would be justified in demanding
and enforcing free trade in cotton;
but whether the United States does
that or not, it is clearly within the
power of this country to help the
southern producer out Of the present
dilemma
If congress will at its next session
valorize the present crop Of cotton
at something like 10 or IL cents a
pound as it can easily do, 1t will help
the southern cotton producer out OF a
serious situation and do nc harm tu
anybody.
But in view Of what has been done
all along-the opportunities there have
been for helping the cotton producer,
and helping him legitimately-we do
not advise our readers to look for as
sistance from the government. If he
help in the present situation he
is going to have to help himself very
much as he has been doing.

About thirty five persons were
baptized in the First Baptist church
by the pastor, Rev. J.. H. Machen, on
Wednesday evening. Most Of those
who were baptized were persons who
had connected themselves with the
Second Baptist church as a result of
the revival recently conducted by Rev.

1t has been moving day around the
courthouse this week and the county
officials are now occupying their new
offices. Some were not anxious to
leave the old hotel building in which
they have been housed since March,
1914, due to the fact that they had
become domesticated there. A force
Of hands from the changing was

A.. r. p. s. s. CONVENTION.

Very few delegates but quite a mum
| Der of members of the local church
attended the Sunday school conven-
ton of the A. R. P. churches Of the
western portion Of York county,
| which convention was held in the To-
cal A. r. P. church Wednesday. The
convention was the first Of it's kind
ever held in the county and was by no
means the success which its promot-
ers hoped 1t would be.
The features of the convention were
a number Of stirring addresses dealing
with various branches Of Sunday
school work, the list of speakers in
Guiding Miss Maud Bigham of Chester,
who showed the small number of Sun
day school workers how a Sunday
school could be made to grow through
better organization: Prof. D. l.. Ram
bow of Chester, whose address was in
the nature of a criticism Of the meth
DDS of teaching which are used by
many Sunday school instructors; Miss
Marie Craig of Valdosta, Ga, who
spoke Of 1.-The Growth Of Sunday
Schools Through Better Teaching
and Rev. w. p. Grier Of Glover, who
chose as his subject, Growth Inten-
Sive."
Several of the Sunday schools which
are included in the association, viz.
Glover. Hickory Grove, Sharon and
Yorkville, made brief reports on the
progress being made in their respect
i've schools.
On account of the fact that the del
egates present were hardly representa-
tive Of all the churches which are in
Guided in the association, and since
many who had been expected, failed
to come, no attempt was made to eff
feet a permanent organization. The
convention named j. w. Kirkpatrick
as temporary leader, and Miss Fannie
Stroup of Yorkville. temporary secre-
tary.
Following are the delegates who
were present:
Rethany-MisSes Ruth Whitesides.
Ada Davis, Mr.. Boyce Faulkner.

many friends in the big audience was

he concluded his address, shortly be-

Hon. D. e. Finley.
Sometimes, said Congressman d. E.
Finley, who was next introduced 10
the audience, the Filbert picnic Is a
Woodman's picnic, again 1t Is a school
picnic and all the time it Is a peoples
picnic.
The question Of absorbing interest
at present, said the speaker, is the Eu-
ropean war. l trust that 1t will n
speedily. have no sympathy with
either side. People ask me occasional
ly, Why this war;" and I. tell you as
| did the people at Armenia yesterday,
il Is because those people in Europe
have forgotten God. .
We have suffered at the hands Of
England and at the hands Of Germany,
declared Mr.. Finley. How are we go
ing to help it? The chief crop Of the
south has dropped from 16 to 8 cents
a pound. Does not that show that we
have suffered? We can't grow cotton
at that price. Yes, Dotn SlueS nave
worked great hardships on us-Ger-
many with her submarines and Eng
land with her councils prohibiting the
shipment Of cotton to neutrals.
The supply Of cotton now In hand Is
smaller than 1t has been at this time
Of year in five years. said Mr.. Finley.
The trouble Is. not with the supply, but
with the distribution Of that supply.
The speaker was proud Of the fact
that III was a citizen Of the most
Christian country in the world. He
was glad this country was at peace.
I do not believe that the United States
should fight England or Germany. or
both, said the congressman, who de-
clared he would cast his ballot for
complete armament, especially for the
building Of submarines, which were the
chief factors in naval warfare today.

The introduction of former Gov
ernor Blease was followed by the most
pronounced demonstration of the day.
Cries Of "Blease! Blease! Hurrah
for Blease!" came from all parts Of
the crowd and amid cheers and hub
brlb could be heard, "Give it to 'em,
Coley," and the like.
Mr.. Lever had gotten off a pleas
antly intended little skit about hav-
ing been bitten by a mosquito that
had bitten Finley, with the result that
he had gotten to be almost as good
looking as Finley. Referring to this
skit, the former governor said It vas
not a mosquito; but a gallinipper that
had sucked all the blood out Of Lever,
and put 1t in Finley. and there was
a laugh at the expense of both Lever
and Finley.
Continuing. the speaker said that
he esteemed 1t an especially high
honor to be invited to address the peo-
pie Of York county at this great Fill
bert picnic for more reasons than one
but one Of the reasons was because
the invitation gave the lie to certain
slanderous stories that had been cir
culated about him all over the state
