On Sunday morning, when the
two weeks leave expired, their
captain ordered the men to pack

would not return TO fight-they

So far as we are concerned, we have
very little sympathy in any Of these
drives that seek to cut York county In
to eastern and western divisions. There
was no reason why, for instance, that
there should have been two local ex-
emption boards in York county. One
could have handled the work as well
as two, whether it's headquarters were
at Rock Hill, Yorkville or Clover,
There has been no need for any Of the
other divisions either. We cannot feel
the same interest in any kind Of a
drive over divided county as we can
in drive over united county. Also
we deplore this tendency to have each
section fix up it's own roads at Its own
expense. Take this new road law, fol-
instance, which says that York, Be-
thesda and Kings Mountain townships
should keep up the north and south
roads, and York and Ebenezer town
ships should keep up the road between
Yorkville and Rock Hill. The injustice
of the proposition is apparent on its
face-so apparent that it is past under
standing to see how men should put
up with it. Why, for instance, should
Kings Mountain keep up that road
that runs alongside Of Bethel, without
any responsibility to Bethel, when as a
matter Of fact Bethel Is more interest
ed in that road than is Kings Noun
tain. And why should York and Eben-
ezer be required to pay the expense OF
keeping up the road between York
VILE and Rock Hill, when there Is more

many what Germany tried to do to the
Allies. But Germany should pay the
entire cost Of this war. She brought it
on. England, France, Italy and the
United States were forced to fight, the
first three in self-defense and the last
in defense Of her honor. Germany is
entitled to pay for all the ruin and de-
vastation she wrought in Belgium,
France, Servia, Roumania and Italy,
for all the ships she sank at sea to-
gether with their cargoes, and for all
the expenses incurred by the different
Allies in defending themselves. This
is nothing but right, because If Ger
many does not have to pay the differ
ent countries that have incurred these
debts will have to pay. For Germany
to escape these burdens would be
equivalent to Germany winning the
war. Also we think it right that means
should be taken to put it beyond the
power Of Germany to renew the war,
at least for many years to come; be-
cause since she started this war with
out reasonable provocation, there
should be some guarantee that she
would not be able to repeat the Of
fense should opportunity offer in the
near future.

The blockade of Germany is one OF
the most serious questions that the AL.
lies now have for settlement. Be II
understood that a commercial block
ade is now being enforced against al
enemy countries, especially agains,
Germany and Austria. The presum-
able reason for maintaining this block
ade is that Germany may all the more
readily sign such peace terms as may
be proposed. But also be it under
stood that the Germans are not the on
ly sufferers from the blockade. There
are large sections of Germany that are
really not suffering at all, while in 9TH
er sections the shutting off of trade in
food and other supplies Is working tre-
mendous hardship. But that is not all
Between the Rhine and the Black sea-
all Of which is enemy country, there
are many other thousands who are
starving, and on account Of these, II
on no other account, it seems that
the Allies should either raise the
blockade or hasten the completion OF
their peace proposals. OF course it is
important, more important than any
thing else. that Germany agree to such
peace proposals as the Allies may de-
eide upon; but it must not be forgotten
that America, and especially the cotton
growers Of the south, are also suffering
from this delay.

1t is stated i'm the Associated Press
dispatches of yesterday that Attorney
General Gregory has long list of COM
munications that he Is going to ask OF
the president in behalf of persons who
have been convicted and sentenced un-
der the espionage law, especially OF
persons who were convicted entirely
upon "a basis of circumstantial evil
dence. The purpose Of the espion-
age law, of course, was to give the
government power and authority to
deal with enemy aliens and real trait
ors in this country. Naturally mali
cious and overzealous persons have
taken advantage of the law to prose-
cute people against whose loyalty there
was no real question. That there
should have been convictions in many
of such cases is more the fault of the
technique of the court machinery than
Of the juries; but nevertheless the
effects Of such conditions, if allowed
to stand, would be terribly disastrous
to American ideas OF liberty and JUS
tice.

The issue Of the British coal strike
is not so much a matter Of hours of la
Dor and wages, as it is matter of ad-
justment Of the standard Of living
The British labor leaders hold tina,
British laborers have a right to as
high standard Of living as have Brit
ish landlords, bankers, lawyers, doc
tors and others. They understand very
we'll the proposition that as a general
thing a mans station is measured by
his education and training, and that as
matters now stand, the coal digger Is
hardly prepared to enjoy the pleasures
and recreations that are as matters OF
course to what are commonly termed
the upper classes; but they do not re-
gard this as a final argument. From
their standpoint all luxury and leisure
and wealth are the proceeds Of pro-
ductiye labor and the man who con-
tributes the labor is entitled to ar
equal share Of the proceeds. He rec
ognizes too that If he takes a larger
share of the proceeds Of his own labor
lust to that extent he is elevated II
the scale of living, the more favored
classes will have to come down; bu
he sees no injustice or hardship ir
that. Not only does labor understand
the issue involved; but the more Ia
vored classes Of England also under
stand it and the whole matter now /!
receiving the most serious considera
ton at the hands Of all concerned, ane
that means everybody.

Creek and Broad River are supposed
to get all the taxes they pay for fixing

fully fair on its face, provided there Is
no close examination into the matter;
but are not the roads in Bullock's
Creek and Broad River as much to the
advantage Of all other sections Of the
county as to those townships, and II
they should get a fair divide Of the

the number Of miles Of roads, in each
township, and the character Of those
roads, would they not get good dea
more money than they are getting
now? Good roads in whatever section
of the county are Of advantage to the
county as a whole and the county as
whole should pay the expense of build
ing them. So far as local advantage
from good roads Is concerned, that

. Nothing has been done to regulate
the cotton exchanges down to a legiti-
mate business basis, and as we see it
South Carolina is 70 blame. The mat
ter has rested with the agricultural
committees of the house and senate.
Mr.. Lever is chairman of the house
committee and Senator Smith Is acting
chairman Of the senate committee. The
whole thing has rested in the hands Of
these two and all they had to do was
to agree upon tie desired action and
put it through. Why they have not
done something is a mystery explaina-
BILE on only one theory and that is
the fear that the credit might go to the
other We do not like to believe this
on the part Of either Of these gentle
men, that they would allow their re-
spective personal ambitions stand In
the light Of the highest welfare OF
South Carolina and the south; but neV-
ertheless it appears that this is what
they have done. After tomorrow Mr.
Lever will no longer be chairman OF
the agricultural committee OF the
house and Mr.. Smith will no longer be
acting chairman of the agricultural
committee Of the senate. Their places
will belong to Republicans, and the
Republicans having nothing to expect
from the south will do nothing for the
south along this line-no more than
the Democrats have done.

same as the wisdom of DeFoe's game
cock when he enjoyed the stable full

himself, Don't let US step on each 9TH

not big enough to interfere in Euro
pean affairs then, and IL is too big now
to be. influenced by the selfish motives
that have governed European affairs
all along. The man who questions the
of Washineton's early ad-

But maybe it will do just as we'll to
let those European nations fix up and
agree upon their league without ask
ing the United States to commit itself
too far. The United States has done
about enough in quieting this quarrel
anyway, and league or no league, II
may always be depended upon to take
the side of the right in any future dis
turbance that might develop. But
even If the United States should go in
to the league it seems to us that there
is reason in the idea Of ten-year lim-
itation. After what they have gone
through the European nations can be
depended upon to e good for ter
years at least, and i they have not
learned in ten years t. be good for al
time it is difficult 20 see how the
league can help them very much.
