WITHIN THE TOWN.

How many local people have ever
considered the fact that under condi-
tions as they now exist, except for the
ginnery of the York Cotton Oil COM
pany and the seed market afforded by
the oil mill, there would be no induce
ment to the farmers to bring cotton to
this market. The time has been when
some five or six thousand bales OF Wag-
on cotton were sold here in single
season. There are no exact records OF
the sales Of wagon cotton in the town,
and there never have been any means
of securing those records with satisfac-
tory exactness. The shipments by rail
used to be the best way to get at it;
but this generally included more or
less cotton that was bought in lots In
the country and hauled to this point.
Figures of purchases by the buyers al
ways included the counting of the
same cotton two or three times, be-
cause Of the trading Of buyers among
themselves. The amount Of cotton
handled by Yorkville buyers in year
has gone up to as high as $4,000 bales;
but that, of course, included doublets.
The actual wagon receipts now-a- days
does not run over three or four thou
sand bales, II that. We would not be
willing to say certainly that the wagon
receipts of a season run above the
amount of cotton turned out by the
local ginnery. At the same time, it Is
not to be concluded that nearly all Of
the cotton ginned here is sold here.
But think Of this in connection with
the matter. The Yorkville Cotton Oil
company has ample yardage for hand
ling all the cotton that this place could
expect to handle. 1t has side trackage
connecting with both railroads. There
is plenty of room for big warehouse.

There is raging in high army circles
quite an extensive controversy over the
manner of the administration OF mar
tial law. The matter got into the SEN
ate on complaint Of outrageous treat
ment of different soldiers in various
military camps, both abroad and at
home. There have been cases in whlcn
men accused Of really trivial offenses
have been convicted without reasona-
BILE opportunity to even make an ex
parte showing of the things about
which they have been accused. Much
Of the public information on the sub
ject has come through Brigadier Gen.
cral Samual T. Ansel, formerly lieu
tenant colonel in the regular army, but
since the war acting judge advocate
general. Persuaded Of the outrageous
injustice of the whole system, General
Ansel has furnished an investigating
committee of the senate with numerous
specific instances in which men have
been railroaded to long terms in mill
tary prisons and made to suffer other
fearful hardships, on charges that
would not have been regarded by a
committing magistrate in civil life to
be sufficiently well grounded to war
rant holding the accused for court.
Because Of the things he has given out
General Ansel has set the whole mill
tary establishment by the ears, and
there is a probability that congress will
take steps that will lead to the estab-
lishment Of a large measure OF reform
in the whole procedure. Recent orders
from the secretary Of war have sent
General Ansel back to his former rank
of lieutenant colonel in the army, and
Senator Chamberlain and others who
have been making much of the infor-
nation he has furnished, are inclined
to suspect that in it's action the war
department is being influenced by a
desire to punish Ansel on account of
the row he has raised.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE,

In The Enquirer of last Tuesday was
published what purported to be the
bill passed at the recent session Of the
general assembly for the repair ana
maintainance Of the main public hlgh-
ways of the county. AS already ex-
planned it turned out that Senator
Beamguard had by inadvertance, fur-
nished one Of the early drafts OF the
proposed new law that had subse-
uuently been discarded. The law as 1t
actually passed is as follows:
Section 2123. The county supervls-
or, while so working the public hlgh-
ways, shall cooperate with the town
ship supervisor in each township
through which the highway may pass;
and when said work Is completed by
the chaingang, the township supervisor
for that township shall keep the same
in repair: Provided, That the three
main highways Of the county as set
forth in the preceding Sec. 2l22, OUT
side the corporate limits Of any incor-
porated city, town or village, shall be
maintained and kept in repair by the
county supervisor and county commits
sioners, and that the funds received by
the county from the state automobile
license tax shall be expended by them
in maintenance and repairs or SAID
three main highways, and that an ad-
ditional amount shall be added to the
above fund by taking from the town,
ship road funds, through which SAID
highways may pass, an amount equal
to fifteen (s15.00) dollars per mile OF
the said main highways included in'
and extending through each township
through which said highways pass

Mr.. Wannamaker of Orangeburg is
urging Senator McLaurin's proposition
of a cotton bank to take care Of the
cotton crop in the south. 1t is not to
be understood that he is agitating the
idea as McLaurirfs. of course; but he
has caught the idea all. right and Is
presenting it with considerable force.
A southern cotton bank, organized
along the line of the regional reserve
system and working under and as
part of that system, is what Mr.. NC
Laurin wants, and promises for such a
bank to make the price Of cotton what
ever it wants to make it. He says that 1t
would be within the ultimate power Of
such a bank to ultimately control the
finances Of the world, and he Is right.
We do not know Mr.. Wannamaker
nearly as we'll as we know Mr.. McLau-
rim, and we are not prepared to say
how far he is. worthy Of being follow
ed-that is we do not know much
about the quality Of his leadership
but one thing is certain and that is
that we have no misgivings as to the
soundness Of the cotton bank idea.

HERE AND THERE

Oscar Plexico was, in his school
days, it will be remembered by the
Yorkville public school pupils under
Harvey Witherspoon, the fastest run
ner in the school, and indeed in the
state. This Is not matter Of off-hand
opinion; but Of record established at
county and state athletic meets. In
those days Oscar could make the hun
dred yards in 10 1-5 seconds or some
thing less. He continued In athletics
after he left Yorkville and went to
Pittsburgh, and there in a big athletic
event established a new record Of 100
yards in 94-5 seconds. The world 8
record was then as it is now, 9 AS Sec
onds. During the war Oscar was an in
structor in machine gunnery, and for
most Of the time was stationed at st.
Jean de Monts, on the Bay Of Biscay,
not a great distance from La Rochelle,
France. Like most of the other hun
dred and fifty instructors at the school,
Oscar was a private. But the pupils
included officers and priyates alike,
with classes numbering several hun
dred each being turned out every two
weeks. There was, Of course, the usu-
al class lines as between officers and
privates, the officers assuming supe-
riority in everything and the privates
always getting pleasure out of the dis
comfture Of an officer by private In
anything. Among the officers who at
tended the school was a young fellow
from Chicago who took great pride In
an officially established running rec
ord Of a hundred yards In 10 seconds
There was no commissioned officer to
compete with him; but his fellow-offi-
GERS, desiring to see an exhibition OF
his speed, made several banters at the
private pupils. The thing had been
going on for a week or more before
oscar heard about it; but when he did
hear he put some Of the privates wise
to the fact that he could run a few
himself, If necessary. He did not nave
but $40 at the time; but when he MADE
it known that he was willing to fisk
that, his fellow-p -privates became inter-
ested and raised a purse amounting to
more than a hundred dollars. The OF
fcers backed their man, some at even
money and some at heavy odds. until
the aggregate betting was about $50O
to something less than 5000. oscars
hackers told him that II he won the
race they would not mind dividing
their winnings with him; but If ne lost
the money to the officers they would
throw him into the bay. Lut NOBODY
could ever get Oscar excited In foot
race or baseball game, and he was
not excited on this occasion. The race
came off according to schedule and the
swift young officer from Chicago got
left between five and ten yards. After
that there was no more foot racing at
st. Jean de Monts for money.

mics are being officered by Germans and
Austrians and he declared that If the
Bolsheviki were left alone, Germany
would have complete control Of the
whole of Russia within the next ten
years. This, he said, would be equiva-
lent to Germany having won the war.
He declared that the continuance or
Bolshevism would mean turmoil and
revolution throughout the world. He
said that it was the policy of the Boil
shevists to kill all who were opposed
to them, and thousands had been kill
ed without so much as charges having
been made against them. There had
been instances where the very cutters
Of Petrograd had run with the blood
Of the slain. The ambassador fatty
contradicted the statements OF preVl-
! Gus witnesses that free press existed
| in Russia. Shortly after the Bolsheviki
got into power many Americans began
fiocking to Russia to join the Bolshe-
Wiki, and for that reason Mr.. Francis
II had advised the withholding of pass
ports. Colonel Raymond Roberts, on
rea ding in Chicago the testimony or
Mr.. Francis, telegraphed the commit
tee a request to come before 1t again In
order that he might refute some OF the
alleged false statements that had oeen
made by Mr.. Francis.

Strong pressure Is being brought to
1aar on Governor Cooper to call an ex-
ira session of the general assembly.
Some of the advocates of the step
base their requests on the necessity
of getting through general road law
and some want to do something to
help the cotton situation. Just what
these folks are really after we DO not
now: but they evidently want an ev-
ira session. We suspect that if the
ruth could be had, down underneath
The agitation would be found various
Columbia interests that are con-
crned mainly about various per-
sonal benefits to be derived. But If
the general assembly would not pass
l:at fool automobile bond bill at the
regular session. what reason there Is
or supposing that it would do SO
now after having had still further op-
portunity to reflect on the humbug-
gerry of it we do not see. And as for
cotton, nobody need expect any help
from the legislature. The members
who would really like to help the
farmers do not know what to do or
how to do it, and those who know
what to do and how to do it, general
ly find that their own immediate in
terests lie in other directions.
