THE WEST ROAD

Advocates of the Adair's Ferry road,
which they would have designated as
the official Western road of York
county, appeared before the county
board of commissioners in the court
house, yesterday morning to present
the claims of the route they want
More than 100 people living al ng the
Adair's Ferry road and others in
terested, attended the meeting and q
number of them presented forceful
arguments why the route should be
adopted. The board reserved its
decision in the matter.
Mr.. A. l.. Black appeared before the
board as the principal spokesman for
the Adair's Ferry road Mr.. Black
presented to the commissioners q paper
signed by thirty-six of the thirty
eight freeholders living along the
road granting free rights Of way. He
explained that the signatures Of the
other two would be secured without
difficulty. Other petitions bearing the
names of several hundred citizens ask
ing that the route be adopted for the
west road of the county, were also
presented the commissioners. Mr.
Black said he could almost positively
assure the commissioners that the
necessary sand for building the road
would be donated by citizens living
along the way.
Joseph w. Smith who spoke in be-
half of the Adair's Ferry road, said
that he had made a careful study of
the proposed route and found that
sixteen public roads would feed into
it between Yorkville and the Cherokee
county line. In his opinion, 1t could
be constructed much cheaper then a
road through Sharon and Hickory
Grove, it would prove of benefit to
more people and there was no ques-
ton that It was the most direct west
route. Years ago he paid not attention
TO the location Of the sun in its setting
bat ''e I'D now and he noticed that the
sun set almost in the west along the

tai, S. L. Courtney, president and J.
A. Riddle, secretary and treasurer
&C. F. Sherer proprietor, has just
put into the City Market sausage
mill that Is driven by high powered
electric motor. The machine cost
several hundred dollars.
: Four carloads of brick and other
materials were last week delivered to
the contractor who Is erecting the
buildings Of the Peoples Warehouse
Company, and now work is making
satisfactory progress.
Berry McCleave, formerly in the
employ of Paul N. Moore, cotton buy
er of Yorkviile and recently returned
from overseas and who Is now employ
ed In Rock Hill. will have charge Of
the cotton warehouse which Is being
built by the Peoples National Bank
of Yorkville,
Lieut.. Geo, C, Cartwright who has
been in the military service overseas
for many months past has received his
discharge from the service and return
ed to his home in~Yorkvilie. He will
take up, his duties as secretary Of the
Yorkville Cotton Oil Company at an

-Yorkville must have an ice making
plant. 1t Is not SO much a matter OF
profit as it Is of necessity. The Ice
plants of the towns surrounding are
not keeping their plants up to require
ments as to demand, and unless
Yorkville has an ice plant the town
is liable to be subject to frequent
famines.
- Scarcity Of dwelling houses for
rent in Yorkville iis more noticeable
now than at any other time thus far
this year perhaps, Several families
whom it Is understood contemplated
coming here this fall have found 1t
because they have been
unable to get houses. There Is no
question of the fact that the problem
is most serious one.
- Postmaster NJ. E. Nichols on yes
terday received information from the
zone supply officer in Atlanta, to the
effect that the government had with
drawn its offer to sell o. D. and COM
mercial military blankets and direct
ing her to cancel all orders that have
already been placed, The postoffice
here had already taken orders for q
large number of blankets, they ap-
rearing to be In much greater demand
than were the groceries recently Of
fcred for sale by, Uncle Sam. 1t Is
possible that the government will de-
eide to put these blankets on sale at
a later date.

Everything points ito the early tax
ing over of Mexico by the United
States, either by annexation or rs q
dependency. Such a step will be ooth
necessary and right, as a matter Oh
self. defense Not only is Mexico one
of the richest countries in the wcrid:
but it is potentially one of the most
powerful. The people have been
downtrodden and oppressed by apto-
cratic brigands as far back as any
thinx is known Of their history. and
more especially since the Spanish
conquest. They have never known
anything of liberty, and they have
never had the slightest measure OF
ordinary justice. social, religious or
industrial. There Is no reasonable
hope for them except under the pro-
lection of the Bnited States, and the
United States cannot afford to leave
the country alone except as a con.
slant menace to its own wellbeing,

Mayor I. w. Johnson of Yorkville,
said that he had canvassed the busi-
ness men and other people of the town
pretty thoroughly and had found that
Yorl,ville endorsed the Adair's Ferry
road as the official west road OF the
county almost to q man.
Several other speakers called atten-
TO 20 the fact that Sharon and
Hickory Grove are traversed by a
railroad and that there Is fairly
good road leading from Sharon to
Yorkville. Because Of its poor condi-
ft'on people living along the Adair's
Ferry road between Yorkville and the
Cherokee COUNT line are almost cut
off from Yorkville, their principal mar
ket and are also without benefit of a
railroad.
Others who spoke in behalf of the
Adair's Ferry road were Messrs. j. A.
Tate, T. F. Mellow, NJ. 8. Carroll,
John Smith, G. M. Carroll, w. w.

Who Is going to claim that picking
rrop of cotton involves anything Hike
of the expenses OF getting
the lint ready for the ginner?
The outlook is the ginning is going
to cost at least cent a pound this
year, and If we should go into a COM
plete analysis of all the expenses from
breaking the land to delivering to the
local buyer. we are quite sure that we
would make that 81 cents look like
minus something.
The fact of the matter is the south
has never made a legitimate \ profit
raising cotton; and but few II any
individual farmers have ever made a
legitimate profit in this pursuit. 1t Is
true that some cotton farmers have
gotten ahead Of the world financially;
but where they have done so, 1t was
either as the result of good manage
ment in the raising of other crops or
through reaping profits that had been
earned; but not realized by others.
We agree most heartily in the claim
of Mr.. John L. McLaurin that all the
cotton the south has ever raised has
been sold at less than the cost Of pro-
duction, and that the cotton industry
has been maintained mainly at the ex-
pense of other industries. At the
same time we claim that the southern
cotton farmer has with less profit to
h,p,self, contributed more to the
wealth and prosperity of the United
States than has any other class OF
workers In America.
We believe that the cotton farmer Is
entitled to fair profit. fair profit after
computing expenses on the system
that is used in computing the expenses
of any manufacturing or other indus
trial. enterprise, and we believe also
that the only possible hope he has Of
ever realizing this profit is by organi-
zation under intelligent leadership
along such lines as were first blazed out
by John L. McLaurin and which are
now being more or less faithfully fol-
lowed by the American Cotton Associa-
tion.
AS to Mr.. Wanamaker and his
propaganda stuff we have no quarrel.
We do not feel under any obligations
with regard to the matter. He has a
perfect right to send 1t to US If he
wants to and we have the same right
to use it or reject 1t as we see proper.
Some of 1t we consider worth while
and some we don't. We. handle 1t just
as we do any other propaganda stuff
on our judgment as to its merit with
Tue regard to the integrity. OF our
news and advertising columns. We
~~ould not let him pay for anything
in the news columns and we would
not let him put anything in the ad-
vertising columns without pay. and he
Is under no more obligation to print
in our advertising columns anything
that we do not want to print In our
news columns than we are to print in
our. news columns anything we do not
want to print IN our advertising
columns.
But we have always believed in in
telligent and effective organization of
the cotton farmers, as much as does
Mr.: Wapamaker or anbody else, and
while we do not consider that such be-
lief imposes upon us any obligation to
surrender any part of the control of
this newspaper to anybody, we expect
to continue to do missionary work
along this line as long as there appears
Mr.. Wanamaker or anybody else, and
to be- reason to hope for desirable
practical results. -
