No Armistice Probable.

The German reply to President Will
sons questions looks satisfactory
enough upon it's face: but as to
whether it will amount to anything
in the early establishment of peace.
depends upon Developments.
As we understand the situation.
President Wilson's terms. as laid
down in each Of his addresses means
that il Germany would have peace. she
can obtain the same by absolute sur
render. and that Is the only way.
The president has laid down num-
Der of stipulations setting forth the
attitude OF the United States. These
.tipulations require that Germany
must evacuate all occupied territory.

right the wrong that was done to
France In depriving her of the provin-
ces OF Alsace and Lorraine in 1871,
and must make amends to Belgium
and France. Servia and other coun-
tries for the terrible wrongs she has
done to them during the past four
years. In addition TO all this Ger
many must disarm and give other

Furthermore the president has said
that we cannot come to any kind Of
terms" with Germany, because Ger
many has already shown that she Is
utterly without honor or regard for

the COTTON SEED SITUATION

The cotton seed situation through
out the country is much more serious
than is generally realized because of
the rush Of seed to market in volume
greater than the mills are able to take
care Of.
While 1t Is evident that had 1t not
been for the closing down of the gins
during the week, the seed glut would
have been much worse than II now is,
1t is a fact that the oil mills are hard
ly in no more comfortable shape than
they were a week ago.
Reports from various parts of the
state indicate that the situation else
where is about the same as in this Sec
tion-the storage capacity Of all the
mills over-crowded, and crushing pro-
ceeding with unusual slowness because
OF insuficiency Of skilled labor be-
cause Of the draft and because Of in
fuenza.
The South Carolina Cotton Seed
Crushers' association a few days ago
reported that the oil mills of the state
as a whole had on hand on October g.,
100 per cent more cotton seed than
on the same date last year, and many
of the smaller mills had still larger
percentage. The Southern Cotton Oil
company was beyond the 100 per cent
limit.
All OF the mills have become very
reluctant buyers because Of the over
crowding Of their storage capacity and
the shortage of labor, and the indica-
tions are that unless the farmers hold
back their seed to q much larger eX-
tent than they have been doing, 1t will
soon be difficult to sell seed to any
body at any price.

How to Make Molasses.

Among the many good molasses
makers in York county. there are very
few who have the business down finer
than Mr.. Thomas J. Nichols Of York
Vile No. s. Mr.. Nichols is one Of
those men who believes that anything
that is worth doing at all Is worth do
ing right, and people who have used
molasses Of his production are agreed
that he carries his preaching in this
matter into practice. Mr.. Nichols has
made more than 1900 gallons Of mo-
lasses so far this season. and the en-
tire turnout has been good. "One thing
necessary to the making of good mo-
lasses." he told The Enquirer last Sat-
urday, ''is proper harvesting and TAX
ing care Of the cane. One Of the most
capable men / know Of In this regard
Is r. G. Jackson OF Tirzah. In cutting
his cane. he will not allow a single
butt TO touch the ground. You can
straighten it up by knocking II against
the wagon ii you want to: but you
must not let il touch the ground to ac-
cumulate dirt or sand. Also he sees
that no dead fodder or suckers are left
on the stalk. and that too Is import
ant But another thing that many
people are careless about Is in stack
ing the cane after 1t Is cut. Too many
OF them throw the cane down In a
close pile where. ii left too long. II Is liza
BILE to heat or blink" as some people
call it. II sours, is the way I describe
it. You can nerer make good molasses
from soured cane. You can prevent
this souring by piling your cane in
LAYERS, some OF them crossways. so as
to give the air openings TO circulate
between.

GERMANY OFFERS COMPLIANCE.

Terms In Full.

Following is the text of Gcrmany's

dress of January and in his subse-
uuent addresses on the foundation of
a permanent peace Of justice. Conse.
auently It's object In entering into dis
cussions would be only to agree upon
practical details Of the application or
these terms. The German government
believes that the governments Of the
powers associated with the govern
ment Of the United States also take
the position taken by President Will
son In his address. The German gov
ernment, in accordance with the Aus
tro- Hungarian government, for the
purpose Of bringing about an armis-
tice declares itself ready to comply
with the propositions Of the president
in regard to evacuation.
THE German government suggests
that the president may occasion
meeting of a mixed commission for
making the necessary ARRANGEMENTS
concerning the evacuation. The pres
ent German government, which has
undertaken the responsibility for this
step towards peace, has been formed
by conferences and In agreement with
the great majority Of the reichstag.

cal and ecclesiastical, and except Tor
two congregations in Charleston, there
were very few people In the state who
would acknowledge ever having been
members. This, no doubt. had some
thing to do with Messrs Hunter and
Colhoun getting by.
But by Judge Smiths day things
we're a little different The British
parliament had repealed the laws re-
auiring rectors to swear allegiance to
the king and provision had also been
made for the creation Of an American
episcopate. This done. the old politi-
cal ring that had been very much bat
tered during the twelve or fifteen
years previous. had begun TO pull It
self together again. It's ability TO do this
may have been. as Mr.. Salley would
have us believe, because Of its supe-
rior intelligence and education; but 1t
also may have been because Of the
generations of practice following that
coup de etat of 1904, when majority
Of the legislature was obtained by
surprise. Anyhow. Judge Smith got by
for a short term and a full term,
mainly because the election had come
unawares and because both elections
were held at the same time. Robert
Y. Hayne was all that Mr.. Salley says
he was, and a man Of whom the state
has a right to be proud. We do not
hesitate to say that 80 far as we are
concerned we are glad he was elected;
but nevertheless, Mr.. Salley will have
a difficult time of 1t proving that
HAYNES election was due more to his
brilliancy than TO his availability as
an Episcopalian with which to beat
Judge Smith.
We know very little about Steven D.
Miller. Mr.. Salley has told us more
than we knew previously: but from
wl.at Mr.. Salley says. DR.. Ramsey
who wrote long before this senator's
day, has given US line on him. 1t is
this:
The Dissenters saw with regret several Of
their more wealthy followers desert less fash
iOnable churcn, ana CONFORM " iHat ~ihSH eh-
joyed the patronage Of the government.
If Senator Tillman told Zach Nc
Gee that every governor OF South car
olina previous Ito the war was an
Episcopalian. he. no doubt left out
of consider eration the first twenty-eight
years up to the coup de etat Joseph
West, who was the second, third, and
eighth governor, is esteemed by the
late DR.. Robert Latham as the ablest
of the earliest executives and, the doc
tor says, he was Objectionable to the
Lords Proprietors BECAUSE he kept
the cavaliers in check" We judge he
was not an Episcopalian. Joseph
Blake (1694) was Presbyterian. We
have not taken the trouble to look up
the other proprietary governors; but
we venture that Senator Tillman was
right as to everything after 1904.
We have a good many more things
to say in this connection; but must
forego for the present for pressure OF
space. However. Mr.. Salley cannot
possibly be more earnest than we are
in the desire that our people were bet
ter informed as to the bearing the his
tory OF our state has on present con-
ditiors. If our people really knew the
truth about these things, South Caro-
lima politics would be much broader.
more generous and more constructive
than is now the case, and South Caro-
lima would be n much better state t.
live in.

The German reply to President Will

The German reply to President Will
sons questions seems 10 nave taken
the whole world by surprise. The COM
mon conviction was that sooner or Ia
ter Germany must submit to uncondi-
tional surrender: but few thought that
such a thing was imminent The be-
lief was that Germany would fight to
the last ditch rather than give up er-
crything. 1t is difficult yet to believe
that the end has come. and many be-
lieve that there is still chance for
complications.

There is an Austrian army of about
100, 900 in Albania that is in sore dan
ger of capture. Before the collapse OF
the Bulgarians the Austrians had three
roads back home; but now they have
only one and that is a rather poor one
by way of Scutari. The recent capture
OF the port Of DurraZzo on the Adriatic
put the Allies in Il position to send
large forces Of men into Albania in n
short time, and it seems almost certain
that the Austrians will be caught.
