THE PROHIBITION ELECTION.

Although there has been very little
agitation Of the matter yet 1t Is very
we'll for the people to take note OF
the fact that there Is to be an elec-
ton on September IA next, on the
Question of total prohibition through
out the state.
This coming election has been reg
ularly provided for by an act Of the
general assembly, and since our peo-
pie are somewhat rusty about such
regular elections, 1t is very we'll for
them to remember that everybody
who votes must present a registration
certificate.
The registration books are to be
open during the week commencing
July 5, and as officially announced
the supervisors Of registration will
spend one day during that week in
each of the following towns: York
vile, Glover, Hickory Grove, Sharon,
Fort Mill, Rock Hill.
After this special canvass of the
county, the supervisors will also open
the books in Yorkville on Monday
August 1.
All persons who are entitled to reg
istration certificates, but who have not
yet procured the same. and persons
who have lost their certificates, OF
transferred their places Of residence
from one precinct to another, will do
we'll to qualify themselves to vote In
the election of September IA.

The township Sunday school con-
ventions are getting in some good
work that will no doubt bear whole
some fruit later on. These conven-
tions are being fairly we'll attended
and it would be better II the attend
ance were still larger.
Tho consensus Of reports from the
county are to the effect that the cotton
farmers are now about up with the
biggest grass crop with which they
have had to contend for many years
and cotton Is growing with amazing
rapidity. There are some sections OF
the county in which the farmers are
still behind with their work; but gen.
orally farm work is we'll forward.
News of the dissolution Of the firm
of Mackorell Bros, will be received
with regret throughout the business
community. This firm has been estab-
lished in Yorkville for close to fifteen
years and has made good. Both mem
bers of the firm have numerous friends
not only in Yorkville, but throughout
the territory surrounding. Mr.. r. j
Mackorell has not announced his
plans; but as will be seen from the
advertisement in another column, Mr.
]. S. Mackorell proposes to continue in
business here and it is safe to assume
that the past reputation Of the firm
will be fully upheld.

Efficiency means knowing how to
do it and doing it. 1t is great mis-
take to quarrel with efficiency. 1t is
like kicking against the pricks. The
principal significance of such quar-
rel is the realization of incomptency;
that is the lack of painstaking labor,
and impatience with that which is the
result of such labor. The man who
quarrels with efficiency is only finding
fault with his own slothfulness and
incompetency. Rather than quarrel
with efficiency it is better to become
efficient, to learn how to do it and do
it. Most people can become efficient
if they will use the means, and those
who cannot or will not become eff
cient, may as well reconcile themselves
to acknowledged inferiority to those
who are efficient.

gle. Whether this bungle was inten-
tional or otherwise cannot be estab-
lished; but the fact remains that II
was a bungle. In our view the tax
commission should not have attempt
ed to organize under such law. 1t
should have waited until the bill could
be regularly passed in proper shape.
OF course the supreme court can find
way to uphold this alleged law II II
desires to do SO; but we hope it won't,
for nobody will have any respect for
decision to that effect. At the same
time, we do not want to be understood
as objecting to the tax commission
idea. The idea is good and the text OF
this alleged act is good; but because
of the manner in which it was passed
or was not passed, we think it best to
call 1t off and start over. However
if the supreme court could be induced
to decide the main issue, whether the
banks are to be taxed on basis of
the value of their capital stock, or
whether they can secure exemption
from taxation by such indirection as
is now involved, there will be that
much gained that will not have to be
gone over again.

Fall of Lemberg.

Lemberg, the capital Of the Austrian
province Of Galicia, which had been
occupied by the Russians since short
ly after the beginning of the war, fell
before the furious attacks of the COM
bined German and Austrian armies
last Tuesday, and the Russians have
been thrown back, defeated and de-
moralized into their own territory.
The dispatches do not bring great
many details in connection with the
assault on Lemberg; but there appears
to be no doubt of the fact that the
Russians attempted desperate stand
and that they were finally forced to
give away before the most furious
bonn mbardment that has yet occurred
during the war. The fighting was
fierce and bloody and the losses on
both sides were appalling; but there
is reason to believe that the Russians
had been anticipating the outcome
and had removed from the city prac-
tically everything Of military value.
Also they protected their rear we'll as
they retreated and lost but few pris-
oners.
According to reports that are being
sent out from Petrograd the fall Of
Lemberg was due solely to the lack Of
ammunition; but as to whether this
is strictly true, there Is room for
more or less doubt, Notwithstanding
it may be admitted that lack Of am
munition may have had more or less
to do with the brevity Of the defense
the Russians were able to offer.
What is going to happen next is
largely a matter Of speculation; but
the most plausible diagnosis Of the
situation seems to be that II it Is
fact that the Russians are pretty well
demoralized and crushed, the Austro-
German armies will leave a sufficiency
of force in the territory to hold the
Russians in check, while the main
armies will be transferred over to
France with a view to increasing the
activities in that theatre Of fighting.
There is a Russian army operating
south Of Lemberg and with the Aus
tro-German forces between, it is
matter Of considerable interest as to
whether this southern army can be
overthrown before it makes junction
with the forces that have just been
driven out Of the captured city.

Price of Cotton.

On basis Of supply and demand
there seems to be every reason why
the growing crop Of cotton should
bring splendid price.
All Of us remember how we felt last
fall with the breaking out Of the great
European war just as sixteen million
bale crop was being gathered, and no
body blames anybody for getting pam
icky as to price.
England played havoc with the
financial situation because Of her
eagerness to get her hands on the gold
supply Of the world, and with cotton
producers everywhere looking upon the
great staple as being sought after only
in connection with the pursuits of
peace, of course the outlook for fair
price was not good.
But now that we have seen more
cotton burned in the form of gunpow-
der than would have been used in
peaceful commerce within the same
length of time, and as we more fully
realize that all this cotton, along with
q great deal more, has been absolutely
annihilated, we find 1t difficult to esti-
mate what could be done with the
present actual supply along with the
new crop coming into existence, IL we
could only hit upon the best way to
handle it.
How long the war is going to last
nobody knows; but whether the war
goes on for long o. comes to a close
within the next few months we know
to a reasonable certainty that cotton is
going to be in strong demand.
The cotton producer, however has
already learned to his sorrow in nu-
merous instances, that no matter how
strong the demand for cotton may be,
he will get but a slim share of the
prices stimulated by the demand un-
less he puts himself in a position to
protect himself
The greatest and most practical plan
that has yet been devised for the full
protection of the cotton producer, is
the state warehouse bill originated by
Hon. John L. McIaurin, and passed
into kind Of a makeshift law at the
extra session of the general assembly.
Although this law is not nearly as
satisfactory as it would have been had
it been accepted in its original form,
it is potently the best thing that has
ever been devised along that line and
embodies unlimited possibilities for
good.
But let the South Carolina law be as
it is for the present, if the Georgia and
Alabama legislatures will pass the bills
that Mr.. McLaurin has prepared for
them, they will Immediately bring day
light to view, and it will be but few
short months until the south will find
itself well able to protect it's cotton
crop against the world. including the
American spinners who expect to be-
gin making prices from the close of
the war onward.
We are watching with much interest
the fate Of the McLaurin bill in the
Georgia legislature. 1t is reasonably
certain that the interests which fought
the bill so hard in the South Carolina
legislature will fight the Georgia bill
all the harder, for with the passage of
;he Georgia bill, the South Carolina
law can be amended to conform, and
then with the two states working to-
gether the cotton producer will be
fairly on the way to his own.

who went on the excursion, say 1t
was a most pleasant gathering. The
party-about 1875 strong-left the steps
Of the A. r. P. church about 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning in automobiles,
the cars being furnished by citizens
Of the town. Upon arrival at the
spring the younger folks amused
themselves by wading in the creek,
plucking leaves, playing games. etc.,
while the older people were content
to sit in the shade Of the trees and
watch the antics of the little folks.
Dinner was spread on one long table

present carried a we'll filled basket
and there was an abundance Of good
things to eat, and to spare. After
dinner a "tug o. war" contest was held
between the men and women, the lat
ter finally winning the pull, much to
the chagrin of the former. 1t was
late in the afternoon before the pic
nickers returned to town.

There is a story going the rounds
of the press to the effect that when
the European war broke out, Japan
made arrangements to send an army
of 100000 men against the Germans
and Austrians; but because Of advice
from the United States, England noti-
fed the Japanese that the proposed
expedition was not desirable. This
story comes from Germany, and it is
said that Washington officials decline
to comment on it. Japan had big
army in Manchuria at the beginning
Of the war, but the understanding is
that the army was for the purpose of
invading China if such step should
become necessary.

The action of the United States su-
preme court in turning down the
"Grandfather" clause Of the Oklaho-
ma constitution, is not surprising
The constitution of the United States
prohibits restriction of the franchise
on account of race, color or previous
condition of servitude, and it seems
that this should be sufficient. How
anybody could expect a tribunal OF
the dignity of the United States su-
preme court to uphold a subterfuge
like the Grandfather" clause, we are
unable to see. We do not believe the
negroes should be allowed to vote, sc
far as that is concerned, and we have
very little respect for that provision
of the constitution of the United
States which undertakes to guarantee
the right of the negro to vote; but if
the constitution is to be overturned
let it be overturned by fair and reg
ular methods-not by lies.
