strength Of most convincing assurance
that this notion that there Is no way
to restrict the sale Of alcohol In vari-
GUS available beverage forms under re-

free flow Of alcohol does not in any
way mitigate such q situation.

sTo-coMPLETE COURTHOUSE.

The York county court house has
never been completed in accordance
with original plans. The original
plans call for finish in the rear very
much like that in front, though con-
siderably less elaborate.
The reason the building was not
finished was because that told Iaw
Range" structure at the rear stood In
the way. The commission originally
had in mind the idea Of buying law
range so as to give room to finish the
rear of the building, leave a back
court and reduce the fire risk. But
business and industrial conditions be-.
came panicky, and the building pro-
.gramme was postponed.
But now conditions appear to be
more propitious, and the grand jury
is Of opinion that action should be
taken at once to improve the situation.
1t has condemned the standpipe at
the rear Of the courthouse as not only
unsightly; but dangerous, and 1t
wants the county supervisor and
board Of commissioners to confer with
the owners of the Law Range proper
ty to see whether or not the same can
be acquired at reasonable figure.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the grand jury at its special
meeting last Monday by ]. 8. Brice,
Esq, who secured an audience for the
purpose, and after hearing Mr.. Brice,
formal presentment, signed by r. M.
Bratton, foreman, was made to the
court as follows:
1--WE the grand jury recommend
that the supervisor and commissioners
confer with the owners Of the property
in the rear Of the courthouse (known
as Law. Range) with a view to pur-
chasing same, provided terms and con-
ditions can be agreed upon. We
deem the acquisition Of the property
as necessary in order to facilitate the
completion Of the courthouse In ac-
cordance with original plans.
1--WE also recommend that the prop
er authorities of the town Of York be
required to move as early as practica-
BILE the standpipe located In the rear
of the courthouse as, in our opinion.
1t endangers the surrounding property
and the lives Of the citizens"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-01-03

While 1t might be natural to suppose
otherwise, The Enquirer desires to tes-
tify that in Its opinion there was abso-
lutely no sign Of any spirit Of violence
in the large and thoroughly represen-
tative crowd Of York county farmers
that assembled in the courthouse last
Monday on account Of the trial Of the
negro rapist. And there was no spirit
of morbid curiosity. Those men were
there purely from sense Of duty, to
see the majesty of the law vindicated
on the worst and most dreaded type of
criminal that disturbs the peace and
security Of our fair and otherwise hap
by civilization. There was no wild un-
reasoning thirst for blood in the crowd
and no idle mouthy threats. The guilt
of the accused negro was established
beyond possible question Of doubt,
and the jury did the only thing 1t
could have done under the circum-
stances. There was no good ground
for recommendation Of mercy, and
the audience would not have approv-
ed such a Recommendation, but had
there been such a Recommendation we
do not believe it would have resulted
in violence. Supposing. however, for
the sake Of illustration, that the jury
In the face Of the facts had brought in
a verdict of not guilty, there would
have been bloody riot; but If the
facts had been such as to establish the
!negro's innocence as clearly as his guilt
was established. the fellow could have
been turned loose in the crowd with
out danger Of harm. A most crafty
ing object lesson was this special term
and the results thereof.

WIIAIN THE TOWN

Business and the business outlook
are better than usual at this usually
the dullest season Of the year.
Yesterday was quite dull In York
Vile, compared with Wednesday,
largely on account Of the rainy wealth
er.
Most of the local business people
are putting in their time taking stock,
and are very pleased to have opportu-
nifty for the work.
The fireworks nuisance has been
reduced to a minimum this Christmas
and that is commonly conceded to
have been one good thing.
There was an unusually large num-
ber Of negroes in town Wednesday on
account Of Emancipation day. They
spent the time for the most part in
riding, promenading, laughing and
talking, and seemed to enjoy the day.
There was no effort at the carrying out
of an Emancipation day programme.
The announcement in another col
u,nn that Messrs. Jesse c. Parrot and
F. Erwin Moore have taken over the
business of the Logan Lumber COM
pany, will be especially gratifying to
the people Of the town and country
surrounding. The indispensable nature
OF this business mas long peen eStdD-
lished in the estimation Of the people
of the community, and as neither Mr.
Parrot or Mr.. Moore need any intro
duction as to reliability, efficiency, or
responsibility, the fact that they are to
continue the operation of this most
useful plant is a subject for congratu-
lation to all the many people who are
in more or less constant need Of SER
vice in their line.
The boys rang out the old year
Tuesday night. The duty was purely
voluntary one. They organized, as
signed one or more Of their number to
each church bell and promptly at the
stroke Of midnight began work. From
the sound of the bells the task Of ring
ing out must have been more or less
difficult and tiresome; but that did not
seem to worry the boys. They stuck
at their job, ringing hard and ringing

We like to see accounts in the papers
of Christmas dinners to the poor chill
dren Of the cities, Christmas dinners
to the inmates of the county homes,
Christmas dinners to the prisoners In
iails and on chainsangs. All of these
things are suggestive Of sympathy.
Charity and desire to help those who
are down and out But when we re-
fleet that 1t takes 1,0s5 meals to keep
one in good health and strength for q
year, and that even the recollection of
q Christmas dinner does not 60 beyond
the next period Of hunger. we conclude
that there is needed something more
than an annual period Of commisera-
ton and consideration. 1t seems to us
that the situation calls for something
more than good dinners. It invites all
the ablest and best Of us to devote
much more of our time, and thought
to the problem of perfecting conditions
that will not require poorhouses, jails
and chaingangs. Everybody is good
FOR something and system that will
seek to give all opportunity in the
field for which they are best fitted will
go long way toward Improving con-
ditions generally.

HERE AND THERE

While travelling on the train a few
days ago Here and There saw lots OF
going home on fur
loughs, some with their final dis
charges, and some still in service. One
of the questions asked each of the boys
related to their feelings about getting
out of the service and what they ex-
pected to do. There was more or less
talk of desire for long spell or loaf
ing and things like that, and some
talked as II they would like to go to
Europe and see what had been going
on over there; but as general thing
the desire of the boys was to get back
at whatever work they had been doing
when they had been drafted into the
service, and to work at 1t harder than
they had ever worked before.
Notwithstsu uding the letting down or
the bars as to the feed products from
the flour mills, the probability is that
there will be no change in the regula.
tions as to cotton seed prices. The Oil
mills of this section, by the way, have
been handling the cotton seed situation
remarkably we'll, compared with Oil
mills in other sections. There Is COM
plant all over the state that Oil mills
have quit buying car seed, or rather
giving wagon seed a most decided
preference because Of the fact that
wagon seed are 81 a ton cheaper than
car seed, and as the result great
many ginneries have had to close, thus
subjecting the farmers to much tncon-
venience If not actual loss. The policy
of the York county oil mills so far as
The Enquirer has information, has
been to take care Of all the seed OF the
county as nearly as possible.
Auditor Love is going the rounds OF
the county taking tax returns, leaving
Miss Pearl Wallace In the office to look
after the occasional property owner
who comes-there to make his return
now. Treasurer Neil, assisted by Miss
es Ewart and Berry, Is tremendouslv
busy finding out how the treasury
stands after the January cleanup and
preparatory to the outgo that will fol-
low the annual meeting Of the county
board of commissioners next week.

The common idea that there was an
almost complete exhaustion Of the
wool supply Of the country except for
army needs, was correct; but it now
develops that the government has a
great deal more wool than the army
will need and that civilian require
ments will be fully satisfied during the
year. According to DIR. s. w. Mcclure,
of Salt Lake City, secretary Of the Ma
tional Woolgrowers' association, there
is on hand more than 10000, 900 pounds
of raw wool, with sufficient clothing to
meet military requirements for anoth-
er year, and in addition to that there
were 100,000,00O pounds Of raw wool
in the hands of manufacturers. The
understanding was that the govern
ment would take at it's fixed price all
the wool that should be loaded on the
cars by January 1, and after that it
would sell surplus wool at auction in
small lots until its stocks were dispos-
ed Of.

The Principles of Peace.

How 1t might have been II President
Wilson had not gone to France, there
is no telling: but the outlook now is
that the peace conference is going to
come pretty near to carrr''ng out his
ideas of what 1t should do.
At the time that England and
France first set up their appeal for the
help Of the United States both Of these
countries realized to the fullest extent
that without this help. they were
doomed to ruin, and to avert that ruin
they were honestly and sincerely will
ing to agree to any terms or conditions
the United States might name.
Since the signing of the armistice,
which event never would have occur
red except for the extending of this
same help from the United States,
there has been a lot Of talk from
prominent representatives Of both
Great Britain and France, strongly in
dicative Of the old feeling Of self-im-
portance as to how matters we're to be
adjusted, etc.
For instance, Winston Churchill and
others have given expression to the
idea that Of course Great Britain will
continue her domination Of the seas,
and Premier Clemenceau has thrown
out suggestion which is in effect that
Great Britain, France and tie United
States are strong enough to rule the
balance Of the world, regardless of
what the balance Of the world or any
part of it might think, and they pro-
pose to do just that.
Mr.. Wilson's idea, however, that the
peace now to be made must mean a
peace for all the world; that the Cen
trail powers must be made to pay GER
tain just and proper indemnities, and
various wrongs must be righted every
where; but after that the small ma
tions and the large nations alike must
receive every consideration Of equity
and Justice in all their relations.
Whatever may have been the view
of the different world leaders, 1t ap-
pears that the people Of both England
and France are in hearty agreement
with Mr.. Wilson, and as the American
people are also in agreement, the thing
for which he stands will prevail.

vertise this paw-paw stuff in The

until druggist who was selling IT told
the editor one day that it was princi-

that it was used more for jag than
for a medicine. We cancelled our con-
tract forthwith, on the ground stated,
and have rejected subsequent over
