outfield may have points to spare in ad
vantage over the National leaguer gar
deners, but when ii comes to pitching
staffs Moran need doff his cap to no
one.
In Sailee, Luque, Reuther, Fisher and
Eiier he has d crew Of pitching experts
mat rank among the six leading hurlers
Of the National league. 1t is combine.
tion that has won eighty games for him
this year.
Gleason may have to coneede quantity
to the Red leader, but when it comes to
quality, he does not have to grant an
inch of superiority. Eddie Cicotte and
Ci@ude Williams will give Moran IS best
y run for the money. This game pair Of
Iron men, carried the White Sox
through to fifty-one victories. They
came through terrific season when all
the wise ones were expecting them to
talter under the strain.
In drawing comparisons between the
pitchers it must be remembered that tho

There has been considerable decline

All three of the local banks were

things a little duller than they would

IN THE COTTON FIELDS.

1T looked for time like the grass
was going to get away from u.s." said
Mr.. r. E. McMaclin, of Bethany, We'd
nesday; but as 1 came down the road
this morning they appeared to be
catching up with it all along the line
It will be remembered that general
rains commenced shortly after the cot
ton planting got started, and rains con-
tinued for several days, giving the
grass a chance to make good headway;
This was more or less the case all
over the county. Planting was retard-
ed for a week or ten days in many To-
calities, and in the meantime the grass
got to going good. There was much
concern about it, too, because of the
general shortage of labor. Farmers
feel now that if the grass gets a good
start they are in for heavy damages.
Much cotton that was not planted
until after the fields began to dry up
after the rains of two weeks ago, Is
now Just coming to a stand.
The work Of thinning out the cotton
and killing the grass is coming nicely.

WITHIN THE TOWN

The following teachers Of the
Yorkyille Graded school, all who have
applied. have been reelected: Miss
Sudie Allison, Miss Ella Neely, Miss
Gerald Lowry, Miss Wilmore Logan,
Mrs. ]. S. Jones, Miss Susan Howe.
There is talk Of the probable early
erection of another large cotton mill In
Yorkville, principally with northern
capital; but as yet The Enquirer has
not been definitely advised with regard
to the matter.
This town is far behind its duty IN
the matter of primary and high school
education. The present school build
ing is not nearly large enough to meet
the requirements of the situation
There is need for more room and bet
ter facilities generally. Lack of room
under existing conditions, Is a re-
proach. a bitter reproach on the
seeming indifference of the communi-
ty. The situation needs to be RENE
died. it can be remedied and it must be
remedied.
THAT was a pretty come to pass a
few weeks ago with only four people
attending the annual meeting OF the
school patrons to hear the report OF
the school board. It was not re-
Election on the board, however discour-
aging it may have been; but 1t was
reflection on the community. Have
the people of the community reached
that point where they no longer care
about the education Of their children
Have they gotten to where they are1n-
different as to whether there are COM
Portable sanitary conditions or not:
AS a matter of fact that Is not true
but nevertheless the people should turf
out to the meeting tonight, and show
their attitude at least by their pres
ence.
- Still every once in a while some
fellow shoots off his mouth about tht
uselessness of the shade trees of thu
town. Nobody has ever been heard tt
give a fairly reasonable objection U
the trees. The agitation was startee
some years ago in the interest OF tn'
right Of way for the telephone wires
That was when it looked like 1t Wouit
be cheaper to fool the people into cut
ting the trees down than 1t would p'
to buy cables. The only pretext ina
was advanced was one that did no
even have the merit of plausibility, II
was claimed that it would help busi
ness. Nobody has ever tried to explain
how: but still there are those who re-
peat the absurdity. or course the!
have very little more sense than
parrot. To a certain extent the tree:
interfere with the electric light wires
but that is a matter that can be hand
led. Nine strangers out OF ten are
more or less enthusiastic over th'
beauty and pleasure Of the shade trees
The other fellow might speak dispar'
agingly. Hsop tells story of fo'
that got it's tail cut off In trap ant
spent the balance of its days trying t

The final settlement of the terms

The final settlement Of the terms OF
neace with Germany are still hanging
in the air. The terms as dictated py
the Allies are admittedly OF a most
chaotic nature. For one thing they
cut the German empire well to pieces
leaving it hardly as strong in territory
and resources as before the war. Inc
indemnity conditions are ndeterihA-
nate. The aggregate amount demand
cd is not specified and neither is the
time in which it must be palo. 1t
seems rather to be matter OF requiF-
ing Germany to agree to submit her-
self TO whatever demand the Allies
may desire to make now or in tn 1u-
ture to remain under probatlon 1or al
time to come. Germany's lensthS
counter proposals deny the full re-
sponaibility for the war charged by the
Allies, and protest the utter impossl-
bility of complying with all the terms
even though willing. She offers 10 pay
over lump sum of one hundred Dill
lion dollars III lull
claims for indemnity, and also asks 1or
immediate admission into the league oI
nations. Premier Lloyd George ana
President Wilson are understood to be
disposed to consent to very materlai
notifications in the treaty. Mr. Ciem-
enceau wants Germany to sigh the
treaty lust as it stands, and leave lhe
Allies to make such subsequent con-
cessions as they may see proper 10
make. President Wilson is said to De
in favor Of virtually restoring TO Ger
many her former jurisdiction over such
of her colonies as have not been other
wise disposed of. The Germans nave
not positively refused to sign. Presi-
dent Wilson is understood to s'anu
largely in the position of leaving II 10
and Lloyd George 10 reacli
a final agreement. Germany IS sun
looking for a settlement in full accord
with the principles of Mr.. wilson ;
fourteen points.

Anderson Tribune Tuesday: At
the conclusion of arguments in an
equity case yesterday afternoon In
United States court, Judge Woods
passed sentence upon the Rev. r. T..
Hickson, well known Baptist preach
err of Gaffney, S. G. He is required
to serve three months in the Cherokee
county jail or pay fine Of $500. the
Rev. Mr. Hickson, much enfeebled by
years and worry over the predlcament
refused in open court to pay his hnc
or to let his friends pay the fine for
him. He said he was willing 10 serve
the sentence of three months but his
friends paid the fine and there was
nothing for him to do but return to
his home in Gaffney which he did lat
er on in the evening. Thus ends a
case that has attracted considerable
attention throughout the state. The
Rev. Mr.. Hickson's case, 1t Will be re-
called, was first heard before U. >.
commissioner at Gaffney. The charge
against him then was that he had pub
llished a seditious communication in
church paper. He was bound over to
the Federal court and when court con-
vened at Rock Hill, it was also charged
he had made statement to the enect
that Woodrow Wilson should be assas-
/
| into war. He was convicted and cli-
max took place in the court room when
the aged minister rose to his feet and
declared that since he had been con-
ytcted he did not care what the SEN
tence of the court was and he would
| lust as willingly receive a sentence 10
| be hanged as to the penitentiary. HIS
| case was taken on appeal to Richmond.
There the court found no merit In tne
assignment of error but reversed the
lower court on the ground that the
statutes prohibited penitentlary SEN
tence of less than year and ne mad
been sentenced to serve SIX months IN
the Federal penitentiary in Atlanta.
The case was therefore sent back with
instructions that sentence be made
that of the county Jail. Last Wednes-
day Judge Woods referred to the case
and stated that because of the health
of Hickson and the fact that Hickson's
utterances could be more readily at
tributed to eccentricities Of mind rath-
er than a criminal intent, he would i'm
pose a sentence of three months in the
Cherokee county Jail or pay fine OF
$500 and that sentence would be pro-
nounced as soon as the minister's con-
dition was such that he could get TO
court. That was done yesterday. Last
year, after Hickson's case had been
heard by the U. S. commissioner at
Gaffney and either before or after his
conviction at Rock Hill, Mr.. Hickson
ran for superintendent Of education In
Cherokee county Out Of large num-
Der of candidates, he was in the sec
ond primary and came within a few
votes Of being elected. The Rev. Mr..
Hickson stated to Tribune man just
as he was leaving the court room,
that he had prepared a statement
which he was going to ask the press
Of the state to publish.
