Raymond Robins Of Chicago, who
was at the head Of the Red Cross mis-
sion to Russia in the winter Of 1917
IS, has again been before the judici-
ary committee of the senate, to refute
recent charges of former Ambassador
Francis to the effect that he, Robins,
was a sympathizer with the Bolshe-
Wiki and to all intents and purposes
was an emissary Of the Bolsheviki in
the United States. Robins denied the
Implications Of Francis in toto, and
said that he is opposed to Bolshevism
both in this country and in Russia. He
produced fourteen documents, some OF
them initiated by Francis himself, TO
show how at Francis's request, he act
ed as an unofficial go-between as to
Francis and the Bolsheviki leaders, by
which the ambassador sought to keep
the United States in friendly touch
with the revolutionary Russian gov
ernment until the permanent policy OF
the United States as to Bolshevism
should be decided upon. One of the
letters was an official appointment OF
Robins as representative of the United
States government. and in another the
ambassador wrote to Robins: "You are
acquainted with my efforts to bring
railroad men to the assistance OF the
Soviet government. You are also Ia
miliar with my efforts to bring In a
military mission to aid them with their
army" This was to show how Franc
was trying to curry favor with the Boil
sheviki. Also Robins said that he had
expended $4,000 furnished by Creers
press bureau in the spreading of Boil
sheviki propaganda in Germany.

Explains Its Ruling.

The following dispatch sent out from
Washington through the Associated
Press, under date Of WednC sday, Is
quite full Of significance, which signifi-
canoe is emphasized by an advance Of
1855 points in May contracts over We'd
nesday's close:
To clear up misunderstanding the
bureau Of markets issued statement
explaining its recent ruling on the cot
ton futures act that purchases or bona
fide sales covered by old style con-
tracts for the purpose Of liquidation,
would be permitted until April ~.
The statement follows:
"Fulillment of old style contracts In
accordance with other written terms.
namely, by actual delivery or receipt
of cotton or by set off or ring out or
by cash settlement in the future month
which they mature is not prevented
by the recent amendment to the cotton
future act. Under the provision of
the amendment as passed there is seri-
Gus doubt as to legality of permitting
the execution of any style contracts
whatsoever after March 4, even though
such contracts be for the purpose of
existing old style contracts.
However, after conference with treas
ury department, 1t was agreed to help
the trade in the situation brought
about by the unexpected passage and
immediate effectiveness of amendment
to make no objection to bonafide sales
or purchases for sole purpose of such
liquidation until the conclusion OF
April 30"
It will be remembered that Mr.. Nc

It is the universal testimony Of peo-
ple who order whisky under the quart
a-month law that the chances OF get
ting their whisky is about one out OF
three. We have no information on the
subject beyond the constantly repeat
ed statements Of those who claim to
have had experience. The whisky,
when it arrives, turns out to be water,
and the consignee puts in a claim for
the value of the stuff paid for. 1t
does not appear that the matter Is tax
en- seriously either by the consignee or
the express company, except for the
inconvenience of it all. OF course, the
consignee wants his whisky, and 1t is
assumed that the exI ress company
has some concern about having to pay
for that for which it gets no return.
So far as we are concerned, we have
no sympathy with the quart-a-month
trade; but at the same time we are not
willing to consider situation like this
with complaisance. Stealing is steal
ing, whether the thing stolen is whis-
ky lor money, and If there is any one
thing that will lead more quickly to
the collapse of all the safeguards by
which the general peace and security
of society is upheld than unchecked
stealing we do not know what it is. We
are not concerned about finding a
means for the safe transportation OF
LIQUOR; but we really think that some
thing should be done to detect and
punish those thieves who steal it by
the way.

Laurin said the other day. without res
ervation, that Mr.. Brands ruling as to
the legality Of old contracts after
March 4, would not stand the test Of
the courts, and that such contracts
were in fact much more valuable than
such a ruling would seek to make 1t
appear.
"Under the provision Of the amend
ment as passed there is serious doubt
as to the legality Of permitting the sx-
ecution Of any old style contracts
whatsoever, after March f." ETC., says
the above statement. The plain Eng
|lish Of this, according to our view, Is
that there was really no doubt; but Mr.
Brand and his associates made the rul-
ling with view to saving the bears on
the exchange from ruin.
And that reference to the "unexpect-
ed passage and immediate effective
ness" Of the law Is also very suggestive
For instance, it suggests that If the
exchange had really suspected what
Messrs. Smith and Lever were up to-
the amendment would not have been
passed; that while Of course the ex-
change people understood that Messrs
Smith and Lever held the key to the
situation, they were not expecting
these gentlemen to put one over on
them without notice.
The market reviews indicate that
prospective early removal Of the block
ade Is having much to do with the I'M
proyement; that buyers are already
getting in cotton for German and Aus
trian account, etc. Sure this situation
is having its effect: but anybody ought
to unde rstand that If 1t had not been
for the amendment now figuring, these
buyers would have had a much easier
time getting cotton at low prices than
they are going to have.

CONSIDERING ROAD BONDS.

The people Of Kings Mountain
township appear to be very much in
terested in the idea Of making the ex-
pertinent of township bond issue for
road purposes.
Petitions for an election have been
circulated for some days past and from
the way the petitions are being signed,
It is reasonably certain that the elec-
ton will be called; but as to whether
the bonds will carry, Of course, de-
pends upon future developments.
There Is nothing in sight up to the
present time that seems to indicate to
the contrary.
The petitions simply ask for an elec-
ton on the question Of issuing 100000
worth Of 6 per cent bonds in accord
session Of the general assembly, and
published in The Enquirer of few is
sues back.
The assessed value of the taxable
property Of Kings Mountain township
for 1918 was approximately s850,000,
and under the constitution the town.
ship Is authorized to issue bonds to the
amount Of approximately $69,000-8
per cent Of the assessed value Of the
taxable property.
To pay the interest on 100000 worth
Of bonds would require tax levy Of
less than one-half mill on the dollar.
AS a matter Of fact 1t will require very
little over half a mill to pay the inter-
est and provide a sinking fund that
will retire the bonds at maturity.
AS to what roads will be improved,
in case the bonds are voted, there has
as yet been but little discussion. The
general sentiment seems to be to leave
that to future determination on basis
of the greatest good to the greatest
number.
OF the main thoroughfares through
the township, however, 1t appears that
the most important are the Kings
Mountain road out from Yorkville to
Piedmont springs by way Of Bethany;
the road from Bethany to the North
Carolina line, and the road from Beth
any to Glover; but as to which of these
is the most important, or some Of the
other roads are of greater importance,
still are matters that the people Of tho
township will arrive at in their own
way.
All seem to agree upon sand adm clay
as the kind Of road to be constructed.
The general opinion is that this Is
about the cheapest and the best, and
also those who are best informed about
such matters, say that with the abun-
dance and variety Of materials availa-
BILE throughout Kings Mountain town.
ship it ought to be an easy matter to
get a maximum milage at minimum
cost.

DRAINAGE OF TURKEY CREEK.

The contract for the drainage OF
Turkey creek bottom having been made
some time ago on condition Of the sale
of bonds, and the bonds now having
been sold, the only thing that stands
in the way Of commencing the under
taking is the final transfer Of the mon
ey for the bonds.
It is expected that the money will be
in hand within the next few days, ana
since the contractors say that they
have the boats ready to load and snip
at a few hours notice, 1t is reasonably
certain that the work will be under
way within a week or two at the long
est.
The drainage project calls for twen-
ty-six miles Of ditching in all-nVe
miles on Little Turkey creek, from the
bottoms of Johnson Cameron and y.
H. Smith, to the main stream at the
Haffner place, and twenty-one miles
from the Scott old mill site to Broad
river, down in Chester county.
II Is the plan of the contractors to
use two boats, and to begin operations
simultaneously 81 in the Cameron bot
toms and at the Scott old mill site. The
smaller boat, which will be started IN
the Cameron bottoms, will go out or
after it reaches the main
bottoms, and the larger boat will go
on to the river.
AS has been stated, there are lew
nreliminaries to be completed In con-
nection with the bond deal before the
work will be actually commenced; but
so far as anybody who Is connected
with the pending transactions has rea-
SON to believe, the whole thing Is defi-
nitely settled.
