T-iere was time when protection OF
Ame rican industries by means OF high
tariff taxes was necessary. With for
eign manufacturers established and
thoroughly organized it was impossible
for Americans Of no experience to
build mills and develop business in
competition. But those old times are
past and gone. America has outstrip-
ped the world in manufactures of ev-
cry kind, and whatever we do In the
way Of higher tariffs only serve to
raise the price of our own goods on
our own people. Where formerly we
we're heavily indebted to Europe, now
Europe Is even more heavily indebted
20 US. Europe can pay us only with
her goods, and for the sake Of our own
people we need to let those goods come
in, not exactly free; but under reason
able duties. High protection on for
eign goods will serve only to make the
American rich richer and the Ameri-
can poor poorer This is consumma-
ton which by all means, must be
avoided.

Washington, July 27: AL of the
1000 regular troops brought here TO
preserve order when last weeks race
rioting and street disorders got be-

with red bands on their sleeves armed
with riot sticks and six shooters in

Although the race rioting and the at

subsidized, street holdups have con-

one negro whom they charge with an

lynched when taken over the Mary

WITHIN THE TOWN

What has been done along the line
of backing up Congressman stevenson
i'm his effort TO get an Appropriation
for a postoffice building here?
- Ground has been broken for the
erection Of the cotton warehouse of the
PEOPLES Warehouse Company. The
building is to be located on the Z. 4
NV railroad to the rear OF the Car
roll Bros. lot
The recent rains appear to have
been quite expensive to Contractor
Redmond, not only in the matter oil
delaying work; but in practically un-
doing some work already done. A
considerable amount of foundation that
had been practically completed on
Kings Mountain street has been
washed up.
The York Furniture and Hardware
Company has recently purchased a
handsome automobile hearse at cost
of several thousand dollars. II will be
delivered within the next few weeks.
Largely due to the rains, business
of the past week was about the dull
est that Yorkville business people have
known this year. However the mer-
chants and others were kept fairly
busy despite the rains, many people
coming in between showers to buy
goods.

DIR. j. B. johnson Of Rock Hill Is
undertaking to perfect the organiza-
ton Of the American Cotton associa-
ton in York county. Most Of the coun-
ties of the state have already been
properly organized; but up to this time
practically nothing has been done in
York county. The object Of the Amer
lean Cotton association is to put cotton
producers in a position to secure fair
price for the product, not only during
this year, but during all other years
Common sense and experience have
taught that this end can be accom-
plished only by the closest co-opera-
ton of all who are engaged in cotton
production. York county has abund-
ant material for the organization OF
one Of the strongest and most effective
cotton associations in the south, and
the thing for this material to do is to
get together. Successful organization
cannot do any harm. 1t may easily re-
suit in great good.

The Standard Oil company Of New
Jersey, has doubled its capital stock by
the issuance of s100,000,0O0 worth of
new stock in the shape Of per cent
preferred. The new stock has nothing
to do with the control of the company
having no voting power. 1t has been
listed on the New York Stock Ex-
change, ETC., and its present market
value is over s116 per share. This Is
entirely a new departure in Standard
Oil Anance. Heretofore the company
has increased it's capital only from
earned profits. Also never before has
the Standard Oil company listed It's
stock to be traded in by the public.
The common stock of Standard OIL
commands premium that rel resents
its par value several times doubled.

about It's miles.

the national highway is plainly blazed
by strips and daubs of red, white and

road laborers were engaged in making

gether it was pretty good road over
the whole distance.
over all the longest stretches of real
good road throughout the entire dis
tance, the ruling impression on the ed
itor's mind was feeling Of admiration
for the intelligent, hroad-minded pro-
gressivcness of the people of the differ
ent counties who have made great
headway along the line Of highway
Improvement. This no doubt, is also
the ruling impression Of most people
who travel good roads, anywhere
whether in North Carolina, Virginia or

Gulf Paving Company, contractors
in charge of the street work in York
vile has been unable to make much
progress during the past ten days be-
cause of the heavy rains and on ac
count of the shortage Of labor. Now,
however, since laying by time is at
hand, it is believed that labor will be
more plentiful and all other condi-
tions being more favorable it Is
thought that the work will proceed
speedily.
People of all denominations of the
town went to the Presbyterian church
Sunday evening to attend a special
service held there in honor Of Capt.
Phillip w. Hunter and other members
of the church who saw service over
seas in the late war. Brief addresses
were delivered by Capt. Hunter, Col.
W. w. Lewis, Capt. G. C. McCelvey,
Perry Ashe and. Capt. B. ]. White Of
Hock Hill. A special musical pro-
pramme was a feature Of the even
hg's entertainment.
Because of the danger Of possible
falling plaster from the ceiling in the
main auditorium, services at the AS
sociate Reformed church Sunday
morning were held in the Sunday
school rooms in the basement. There
was a crowded congregation in at
tendance. 1t was feared that the wet
weather might cause the plastering
(none too good anyway and some of
which has already fallen, to come
loose, and hence the transfer of the
congregation to the basement. The
defective plastering will be repaired
as soon as possible.
The second team of the Nicely Cot
ton Mill of Yorkville defeated the
Wymajo mill team of Rock Hill, in
one of the best baseball games seen
here this season last Saturday after
noon. The score was 3 to 1 in favor
of the Neely Mill. Kiser, pitching for
the Neely Mill, struck out seventeen
of the opposing batsmen. The game
was a pitchers battle between Kiser
and Lawrence Laughridge, the former
having just O. shade the better Of 1t,
largely due TO the fact that the
Wymajo catcher was unable to hold
the delivery Of the pitcher. The Nicely
mill has two baseball teams this sea-
son and a game is played every
Saturday, most Of them in Yorkville.

Tomorrow, July 80. marks the three
hundredth anniversary Of the first rep
resentative legislative body to be estab-
lished in America. The legislative body
referred to was the Virginia house OF
burgesses, which began its sittngs at
Jamestown on July 30. 1919. The gov
ernment, according to plans originat-
ing in England, consisted Of two
houses, the first made up Of the gov
ernor and council selected by the Brit
ish stockholders Of the company and
the other chosen by the voters OF the
colony, two burgesses to each one hun
dred people. From this small begin
ming government Of the people has
spread throughout America and to
many other countries in different parts
Of the world.

Peace Treaty Controversy.

Partly pure politics and partly patri-
otto concern over the highest and best
welfare of the American nation the
sensational controversy over the ac-
ceptance Of the league Of nations In the
ratification of the peace treaty, con-
tinues to occupy the attention of the
country to a very important extent.
One of the big questions at issue
from a controversial standpoint, Is
whether the United States is to under
take to guarantee the peace of the
world by protecting all other nations
in the ordinary commercial relations
through which they are constantly try
ing to do each other, and the common
answer to this is that in the future as
in the past, we are going to have as
much as we can do to attend to our
own business.
The most embarrassing points, prob
ably, that the Republicans have raised
up to this time are in connection with
the Shantung question and the French
treaty. AS to the French treaty, little
is known beyond the fact that the
United States is understood to have en-
tered into some kind of a special en-
gagement with France, and the presi-
dent has not yet seen proper to make
public the exact terms Of that treaty.
The Shantung affair is more empar-
RAISING. The Germans robbed CHINA
of the Shantung peninsula and the
Japanese took it away from the Ger
mans. None of the Allied nations nave
ever conceded the right of the Ger
mans to this land. yet the peace treaty
seems to concede full title to Japan,
notwithstanding the protests of China,
the rightful owner, and notWithstand-
ing the clear cut declaration in Mr..
Wilson's Fourteen Points against the
violent alienation Of the territory OF
one friendly nation by another.
Il is given out more or less authori-
tatively, presumably as coming from
the president, that later on 1t Will de-
velop that Japan has promised to re-
store Shantung to China, on the pay
ment by the latter country Of some big
sum Of money that will cover the cost
of conquest and additional compensa-
ton, Also it is understood that China
NAV agree to make other valuable con-
cessions to Japan in connection with
the matter.
But after all as to whether there is
really good cause for concern over
what might be done as to the league
of nations or the peace treaty there is
more or less reason for doubt. To be
sure, it is important that the whole
thing be settled at once-the sooner
the better-in order that the world
may commence trying to-get down 10
normal conditions again; but that Is
about the biggest question.
If it is fact that the United States
is asked to subscribe to the giving OF
Shantung to Japan, that Is wrong.
There are no doubt numerous other
wrongs None Of these wrongs can be
excused or justified; but they will be
swallowed and that is about all there
is to it. At least that is all there is to
it until another time.
The principal definite settlement by
this war was the signing Of the armis-
tice terms by the Germans on Novem-
ber IL, 1918.
Most of the diplomatic stuff that has
been engaged in since that time has
been fol-de-rol, the beginning Of the
great game which sooner or later Will
culminate in another great war.
