one of them, however, falling behind
the French lines. The admiralty re-
port of sinking the German submarine
stated that it has not been the practice
of the admiralty to publish accounts
regarding the losses Of German sub
marines, important though they have
BEEN" in cases where the Germans had
no other sources Of information as to
the time and place at which these
losses occurred. 1t has been reported
for months that a large number of
German submarines, v~ariously stated
at 20 to 40, have been caught by the
British navy, but today's statement Is
the only official admission that there
were others than those previously an
nounced by the admiralty as having
been destroyed. The Italians claim
further minor successes on all their
fronts, but these are consistently de-
MED by Austria. OF the operations on
Gallipoli peninsula, there is no further
news. Except for the postponement OF
the statement Of the Greek premier, M:
Venizelos, on the future policy OF
Greece, there is nothing new in the
Balkan situation.

The people who have been growing
alfalfa for two years or more, have
quit talking Of the crop as an expert
ment. They speak Of it in about the
same ann as they do corn or other
crops.
Farmers from different sections of
the county, report that the fodder
pulling season is now in full blast.
Owing to the fact that the corn crop
throughout the county is unusually
good, there is much fodder to pull.
Numbers Of York county people have
been to the Catawba river in and
around Wright's Ferry recently, fish
ing. Several good catches have been
reported. OF course most Of the fish
that are caught are carp.
Mr.. J.. r. Deas of Hilbert, brought
to The Enquirer office yesterday ever
al stalks of cotton taken from a field
Of Mr.. j. C. Lilley, which appears to
have suffered greatly from the ravages
of the red spider. Mr.. Lilley has about
six acres in the field from which the
sample was taken, and Mr.. Deas says
the whole is pretty badly affected. The
cotton was worked out rather late.
In a private letter to The Enquirer,
Hon. w. F. Stevenson, who Is at Mon
treat, n. C., takes occasion to say
that the automobile highway through
York county by way Of McConnells-
| vile, Yorkville and Glover, is I'M
doubtedly the best and shortest be-
tween Columbia and Asheville. The
distance, Mr.. Stevenson says, is 1876
miles, as against 200 miles by the
most commonly used present route,
and II the route between Yorkville
and the town of Kings Mountain is
made practicable, the distance will be
cut to 1856 miles. There is no doubt
says Mr.. Stevenson, about the approx
innate correctness Of these figures, and
If the people Of Yorkville and other
| places along the line in York county,
will give the matter proper attention,
there will be no difficulty about es-
tablishing this as the most popular
route.

Results in the Fourth.

While as a matter of course there
will be all kinds of views and argu-
ments about the political significance
of the congressional race in the Fourth
district, there is little reason to ex-
pect that anybody will be convinced
contrary to the views they have all
along entertained.
Mr.. b. A. Morgan is n public man
of big service in the general assembly
and we'll known throughout Green
VILE county. His afiliation has been
with the conservative" party, and
the affliation of Mr.. Nichols has been
with the Reform" party.
In all his political activities, MI.
Nichols has beer extremely partisan,
while Mr.. Morgan has been rather
more conservative; but there has
never been any reason for mistaking
the political alignment of either.
During the campaign that followed
the first primary, both sides essayed
TO discard factionalism and rely upon
personal merit and the like, as es-
tablished in past records. Both Spar
tanburg and Greenville appealed to
county pride in behalf Of their respect
i've candidates, with the result that
political sentiment was largely at a
discount, and each candidate carried
his own county by a two-to-one vote.
The majorities in the home counties
about offset each other.
In the other three counties, party
spirit. as aroused during Nichols
previous campaigns, figured with full
effect to the advantage of Nichols,
giving him the majority.
Mr.. :. j. Nichols will be remem-
bered as the man who bore the brunt
of the w. J.. Burns fiascO in 1912. A
Burns detective cooked up Il story Of
Il ~princely fee that was to be obtained

A ON GASOLINE

The wicked Standard and the
wicked Texas companies have raised
the price Of gasolene.
AS to whether it is on account of
thai license tax schedule, which re-
quires SIS a year each from oil COM
panies, of course there is no way of
telling; but it is a fact that the price
of oil went up about the time the
license tax went into effect.
Gasolene was selling at IA cents
wholesale and 16 cents retail, and now
they are asking 16 1-2 cents wholesale
and 20 cents retail.
The oil companies, or at least two
of them, will pay the tax all right;
but they will collect 1t from the peo-
pie who run the automobiles and who
use ~gasolene fer industrial and manu-
featuring purposes.

We trust hat the plans and wishes
of the most optimistic citizens of the

speedily realized-only we are sorry
that it is to lose its old time name
which is so thoroughly identified with
its past history.-Greenwood Journal,

was not herself when she voted that
change else she would never have voted
it. She was temporarily pulled aside by
undue pressure under which the dom
nant crowd was made to feel that
it would lose it's prestige if it should
fail, and timid ones shed tears at be-
ing forced to vote against their senti-
ments. Gradually and slowly the rea,
purpose Of the change, the ecclesias-
teal historical significance and ulti-
mate purpose, are dawning upon the
people, and they are growing less and
less pleased. But things will come
all right after a while-when the peo-
pie who were deceived begin to realize
Just exactly why and how. OF course
there are some who will be stubborn
and slow to acknowledge their error;
but so strong and pronounced are the
springs Of action underlying the whole
thing that it is impossible that the
present tatu quo a continue indefi-
nitely.

The English pound sterling was
worth less in American money yester-
day than at any other time since its
coinage was begun in 1917, according
to n New York dispatch Of yesterday.
In a thoroughly demoraliZed foreign
exchange market, its value dropped to
$4.63 ga, nearly 90 IA cents below
normal. When the days business end
cd there va every Indication that it
would go lower still today. The pre-
vious low record had been $4.64, reach
ed last week. German money alone
stemmed the torrent of downward
rates, reichsmarks rising to 81 rs, the
highest since exchange values started
down more than two weeks ago. Francs
lost 104 cents, lires 81 cents. When
the market closed an American dollar
was worth $500 francs or 6.47a Tires.
From the opening the values OF foreign
moneys. reichsmarks alone excepted,
began to gravitate and their course was
not once checked. This was said to be
due to increased pressure of war sup
ply bills against foreign buyers of
American goods presented for pay
ment here. Although the situation was
regarded as acute at the days close,
New York bankers were not fearful.
What is need, they said, is a big for
eign credit. which they expect to be
established as soon as a deputatiOn Of
British financiers arrive to work out
a relief plan. The strength of German
money yesterday was attributed large
" to the easing of tension in diplomatic
relations between that country and the
United States. 1t even was reported
Germany might seek to borrow money
here later on.

- Brest-Litovsk, the main Russian
fortress and concentration center for
the Bug river line of defenses, was oc-
cupied by the Austro- Germans yester-
day, according to a London dispatch.
While the Russians offered stout re-
sistance during the invaders approach,
it is apparent no attempt was made to
defend BreSt-LitovSk itself. 1t was
evacuated as was OSSowctZ, in con-
fOrmity with the Russian intention to
take up new positions farther east.
The Germans are now in possession OF
the whole line of railway from Chelm
to Bialystok. The Russians having
already evacuated the latter city, the
lesser fortresses of Grodno and Olita
now are the only strongly defended po-
sitions remaining in the hands of the
Russians. Both these are being APP
preached by the Germans. They prob
ably will be given up when they have
fulfilled their purpose OF facilitating
the Russian retreat. The Russians
have not yet entered the vast Bielov-
ieZh forest, which extends 80 miles
north and south and has a width of
from II to 80 miles. The forest is a
famous hunting center and q bison
preserve. South of it are the Pripet

the Germans could reach his flank.
