Yesterday that business continued to

an ice famine for the past few days

A visitor to Kings Mountain Chapel

than two years remarked that the
good people of that community have
not forgotten how to spread the same
bounteous picnic dinners that they did

It is to be hoped that there will be a
large attendance of farmers at the
meeting to be held in the courthouse
at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon for
the purpose of electing committee
TO call an election on the question OF
selecting a suitable man for the posi-
ton of cotton weigher in Yorkville.
There are as usual many brag
patches of cotton and corn through
out the county this year and while
there are some who are inclined to
take a pessimistic view. the majority
of the farmers are of the opinion that
the general prospect is about as good
as usual.

Broad River Township Improvement
Association is already making its
power felt in Broad River and there is
no reason why Bullock's Creek cannot
do the same thing.

FOR LAW AND ORDER

Sheriff Fred E. Quinn, Mr.. r. A.
Barnett, foreman Of the YORK county
grand jury, Constable Coy Jones OF
Bullocks Creek and State Constable
Horace l.. Johnson we're in Columbia,
Wednesday, where they went to at.
tend a meeting Of the sheriffs and
other officers of the state called by
Governor Cooper to discuss ways and
means of law enforcement. Accord
ing to Sheriff Quinn, probably Two
thirds of the sheriffs Of the state were
in attendance and there were many
other officifis present and the wave
of crime wI.'ch has been sweeping
over the state during the past few
weeks was discussed in all its phases.
Solicitor ]. K. Henry of Chester,
presided over the meeting and. ad-
dresses were made by Sheriff j. Ell
more Martin of Charleston and Gov
ernor Cooper. The latter addressed
the sheriffs and other officers at con-
siderable length, urging them to do
everything possible toward stamping
out the wave of crime now so prevail
ent. Among other things the governor
said: -.
"As a general rule, I think sheriff
should not become a prosecutor, and
vet 1t is peculiarly his duty not only
to arrest a person charged with crime,
but to discover persons responsible
for crime, and see that prosecutions
are instituted even II he Is forced IN
some cases to become the prosecu-
tor. Grand juries are the grand In
quest of the county, and once 1t is
organized continues in office until an
other grand jury has been organized
according to law. The members of
the grand jury are conservators OF
the peace. and the obligations which
they assume demand that they be
on the alert during the vacation OF
the courts as we'll as during their ses-
sion, with the view Of bringing to
trial persons who are suspected OF
violating the law.
Likewise the magistrates should
do more than issue warrants on
proper complaint. Their duty Is to
conserve the peace Of the community,
and wherever the law Is being yio-
lated and the criminal Is unknown
the magistrate should take such steps
rs will detect the criminal, and see
that he is brought before the. bar OF
Justice. Crime is q disease, con-
tagious and Infectious I am quot
ing from one Of the most eminent OF
our circuit judges, who has passed
TO his reward. This disease germ
can live only in congenial atmos-
ahere, and its antidote is public op-
nion. This public opinion Is Great
ed by vigorous and impartial exc
aution Of the laws on the part or
hose charged with their execution.

- President Wilson on Wednesday
signed an executive order increasing
the guaranteed price of the 1919 wheat
crop to $3.50 per bushel at Galveston
a,u. New Orleans. At the same time a
presidential proclamation was issued
declaring that in order ito protect the
United States against undue enhance
me.lt OF it's liabilities" under the law
guaranteeing wheat prices, that on and
after July no wheat flour should be
imported into or exported from the
United States, except under prescrib-
ed limitations to be fixed by Wheat
Administrator julius H. Barnes. 1t is
expected that the high price establish
ed for wheat at Galveston and New
Orleans will divert part of the crops
flow to export from Atlantic terminals,
and thus relieve the strain on COM
mon carriers and terminal facilities.
In additional executive orders the
president approved the licensing plan
put into effect by Director Barnes
providing that all persons handling
wheat, with the exception OF growers,
bakers who consume less than so
barrels of -four per month and COM
mon carriers, must be licensed.
