Names of Bond BUYERS.

The Enquirer is trying TO print tht
names OF all the purchasers oil bonds
in York county. and il il fails in tn,
effort il will only be- because OF ina
bility TO get the information.
Our reason Tor printing these names
is because We consider that the list
contains an honor roll Of those who
believe in the righteousness OF thcil
country's cause and who are willing
to back up that cause with theil
money.
OF course people who have plenty oi
surplus money do not deserve an!
special credit for investing the saIn'
in bonds. because there is no better in
vestment that they can make. and they
know il: but il these people do not
buy bonds. ii is fair to assume that
there is something wrong with them;
that they do not appreciate the obli-
cation by which they are confronted
or that they are not in full sympath!
with the cause OF the country to which
they owe all they have.
The people who deserve the greatest
credit Tor buying bonds are those who
are not actually able TO do so: those
who have no surplus money for in
vestment, but who are willing TO back
up their country's credit with theil
own credit-those people who vii
borrow money at s per cent to carry Q
security that bears only ~ per cent
People like this show the spirit OF
.Amcricanism of the right sort. the sort
which is really anxious to help anu
which makes no excuses.
But whatever the reason for pub
fishing the names OF these bond buy
crs now, there is no reason to doubt
that the time will come when the list
will bc Il roll Of honor throughout the
whole nation. There will he tim,
when many people will he proud or
their own account that they have de-
sccndcd from people who answered tho
call OF their country to uphold its hon
or and establish the liberty oi tho
world.

HERE AND THERE

There are quite number OF beau
tiful small grain fields between York
vile and Glover, among them those on
the b. y. Moore, F. G. Riddle and ].
F. Jackson farms, are especially fine.
There are quite n number Of peopl,
in Yorkville who refuse to be con-
vinced that that meteor Of Tuesday
was not an airplane. They insist that
they heard the noise of the propellors.
and there Is one man In the courthouse
who says he saw man and woman
In the airplane and heard loud talking.
There are others who are convinced
that a shrapnel shell Is the only solu-
tion OF the mystery. 1--WE have seen
many meteors," they say: but we
have never before seen one leave a
trail Of smoke in it's path" They are
not convinced by the explanation that
all meteors leave trail Of smoke, but
the smoke can be seen only under such
favorable conditions as existed last
Tuesday, with the meteor between the
observer and the setting sun.
York county has roads and roads
and some of them are very rough and
make very disagrceable travelling. es-
pecially in fast going automobiles. or
rather in automobiles that would go
fast il the roads would permit fast
driving. but il might make us feel
more comfortable to know that all the
bad roads are not In York county. \
trip to Charlotte by way OF Gastonia
and Belmont will prove to any one
who takes such trip that Castor and
Mecklenburg counties have roads that
will contend with York county for bad
road" honors. The best road, however.
between Yorkville and Charlotte. Is in
North Carolina, from the state line on
through Gastonia and east OF that
town for five or six miles. The rest Of
the way: well. 1t Is just road.
Treasurer II. f. Neil was among
those who went up to Gastonia from
Yorkville last Tuesday night to hear
Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan speak.
Treasurer Neil Is a great admirer OF
Mr.. Bryan and takes advantage OF ev-
cry opportunity that presents itself to
hear the eloquent Nebraskan in his
lectures. Mr.. Bryan's subject Tuesday
night was Our duty to our country
and our God" and Mr.. Neil was de-
lighted with 1t. One point made by
Mr.. Bryan that he was especially
struck with was that 1t is characteris-
tic Of protesting atheists TO put in
ever pretending to answer questions.
Let an atheist undertake to answer
the questions | will ask him." said Mr..
Bryan. land ! will drive him crazy"
Also Treasurer Neil was wonderful!
impressed with the power and logic OF
Mr.. Bryan's argument In favor of wo-
man suffrage. but he has not commit
ted himself on that question yet. The
treasurer came back from Gastonia
with a little crouch. or II so seemed
from what he said in the presence OF
Here and There. when you are list
ening to a man like Mr.. Bryan" he
said. "you want absolute quiet. There
were people in the audience who were
evidently afflicted with bad colds and
when one of them coughed. II seemed
that 1t was catching with the others. II
] had been aware that those North
Carolinians were in such shape as they
were, I would have taken along about
a half bushel Of cough drops for dis
tribution at the front door of the lee
ture hall"

The metropolitan newspapers and
the magazines Of nation wide circu-
lation have been setting up a continu-
uus howl for many months past
against the new postal regulations In
the war revenue law, which regula-
tions go into effect on July l. At the
present time. as for many years past,
the cost of newspaper postage Is regu-
lated altogether on basis of weight
OF papers without regard to the dis
tanCc they are carried. After July l. the
further newspaper or magazine is to
be carried and the greater the amount
Of advertising it contains the higher
the postage. One result will be that
subscribers with more distant address
es will have to pay more IN post
age than they now pay for subscrip-
tions and the enormous circulations OF
the newspapers will be greatly cur
tailed. In all this the metropolitan
newspapers and the magazines affected
see calamity to the nation. They
claim that the existing nationalism
has been built up and cemented by
publications of universal circulation
and with the localization Of these pa
pers the country will be reduced TO
sectionalism. parcochialism. and misun-
derstanding. But somehow we are
not especially impressed with the al
legged disaster involved in the threat
ened calamity. not yet at least. 90 far
as we have seen. there is to be no esa-
barge on the cooperative efforts Of

I'd stirring appeal in behalf Of bet
ter pay for school teachers. He sets
forth that people with sufficient cdm-
cational equipment to he worth while
as school teachers are now command
ing much better pay i'm all other lines
and that the paramount Importance OF
education demands salaries that will
enable the teachers to live. The mat
ter is OF very great Importance. much
greater Importance than most people
realize. Hundreds Of thousands OF
southern people lost their educational
opportunities during the Civil war and
the years Immediately following. and
II is not with much eXaggeration TO
say that the south lost more on ac-
count OF that than on account of the
war itself. We must not have our ed
ucational system paralyZcd as the re-
suit Of this war: but we must sustain
and develop il at whatever sacrifice.
