WIND AND HAIL.

There was quite heavy wind storm
over a considerable portion Of the
county Sunday afternoon, accompanied
in some places with hail and in some
sections there was loss to the crops
and other property. particularly in the
northern part Of the county from
Bowling Green, over in the direction Of
Catawba river.
Out to the immediate west and
northwest Of Yorkville there was strong
wind that blew down good many
trees and unroofed small houses and
the like; but so far as could be
learned there was very little rain and
no hail. The wind was quite severe
on down to the south Of Yorkville as
far as the Chester county line and be-
yond. and several items of damage are
reported in the Philadelphia neighbor-
hood, like blowing off shingles. etc.,
but there was nothing especially seri-
Gus.
The heaviest part of the storm ap-
pears to have been in the northern
part Of the county, and especially from
Bowling Green southeast to Catawba
river There was both wind and hail,
the hail setting in heavily about Joe
Brandon's and extending along the
ridge, doing damage to his crops, the
cIops of T. H., j. S., and R. S. Riddle,
and also to the farm Of c. H. Glenn
in the Point.
Full particulars could not be had
yesterday because Of the breaking
down Of telephone wires; but some
trustworthy reports had 1t that in spots
the damage from hail was as great as
in 1912.
Mr.. r. o. Clinton of Bethel. who
was in Yorkville yesterday morning,
said that there was very considerable
damage to the grain crop throughout
his neighborhood. Where wheat and
oats had been cut and shocked the
shocks were thrown about promiscu-
ously, and where the grain had not
been cut 1t was leveled with the ground
Mr.. Clinton said that many trees had
been uprooted in the path Of the storm.
Urverifed reports yesterday after
noon were to the effect that r. s. Rid
dies home and barn were partly un-
rooted.

ATTENDANCE OFFICERS.

Miss Alice Garrison, OF Rock Hill,
has been selected by the county board
Of education as the colleague Of Miss
Belva Saunders, to help look after the
enforcement of compulsory education.
After having the matter under con-
sideration for several weeks and de-
batting thoroughly the question as to
whether it was more desirable to ap-
point one man and one woman, two
men or two women, the board on last
Saturday settled the matter by the Sc
lection Of Miss Garrison.
AS a matter Of fact 1t would not be
fair to say that the question OF wheth-
er the officers should be men or women
entered very largely into the matter.
The action Of the board was determin-
ed more by its judgement as to the
most desirable material Of that which
was available.
Miss Garrison is a Winthrop girl
who has taught successfully at India
Hook and other places in the county,
and who the board of education be-
lleves will satisfactorily discharge the
duties of the position to which she has
been selected.
Both ladies will have quite lot OF
field work to do along with consldera-
BILE office work, and the official head.
quarters Of both will be in the office OF
the superintendent Of education.

ufacturers have agreed. These will
apply as a maximum on 80 ton ship

Senator Lodge told the senate last
Wednesday that he had seen an un-
published copy Of the peace treaty in
New York, and Senator Borah of Ida
no, made the very ugly charge that
the American representatives in Paris
had contrived to get the treaty into the
hands of Wall street interests before
the United States senate was allowed
to have the text for consideration. Sen
ator Hitchcock declared that such
charges were scandalous in the ex-
treme and demanded an investigation.
1t does seem little strange that the
people who are engaged in doing the
people should have a peep at paper
like this before its submission to the
people whose business it is to repre-
sent the people. If it shall turn out
that Senator Lodges statement is true
and that members of the peace delega-
ton are responsible for the leak, the
American people have still more cause
than they have already had to wonder
where they are at.

People who have been raised under
Christian influences in Christian lands
take naturally to the idea Of Zionism-
the restoration Of the sovereignty OF
the Holy Land to the Jews. They un-
derstand, of course, that that means
the setting up of a new state, or rather
the new setting up Of an old state. But
why not? Do we not all know how
God chose that land for the Jews and
the Jews for that land? Every reason
ably we'll read man is familiar with the
manner in which the Almighty taught
to mankind the correct principles OF
human government, both spiritual and
political, and It is down deep in the
hearts of most men and women that II
the Jews had given due obedience to
the Divine teacher Palestine would
have continued forever the seat of the
strongest and most perfect empire that
has ever existed or can ever exist.
Most of us see, or think we see in the
Scriptures, the promise of God that
the Jews will again be gathered to-
gether in Palestine. Many of us hope
that the Jews have already sufficiently
expiated the sins, on account of which
they were dispersed and that the time is
near at hand when the prophecy in
which so many of us believe will be
fulfilled. But while this time may be
at hand, it may not be. 1t is we'll to
remember that the Jews are not today
the dominant people of Palestine.
There are more Arabs in Palestine
than there are Jews, and they are more
powerful Most of them are Moham-
medans. and not only that they are
owners of most Of the lands. Politi-
cally maybe they are no more powerful
than the Jews; but materially they are
very powerful, and they do not at all
relish the idea OF Jewish domination.
The Arabs Of Palestine are taking
Zionism quite seriously, and it is their

"No, our people are not expect
ing to work all the roads Of the town.
ship with s6O,0OO," said George A,

Those people who, last winter were
cultivating fears that the county's stock
of pigs was rather larger than the
county would likely demand, will do
we'll to quiet down little on the sub
ject. At present prices Of lard, hams
and side meat, the outlook is that York
county will find demand for all the
pigs she now has and then some.
The Cleveland mineral springs prop
erty, about two miles from Shelby, has
been purchased by Mr.. John A. Dar-
win of Athens, Ca. for $4,000, and
the understanding is that fine hotel
building is to be erected at once.
Cleveland mineral springs for many
years up to about ten years ago, when
the hotel was burned, was one Of the
most noted health resorts in either
North or South Carolina.
A cornfeld that was prepared and
planted with Fordson tractor by Mr..
S. L. Courtney last week, on his farm
on the. Kings Mountain road, about
three miles north Of Yorkville, Is re-
ceiting attention from passing farmers
who take note Of such things. The
most striking features Of the field are
the thorough manner in which it has
been pulverized, the mathematical reg
ularity with which the rows have been
laid off, and generally workmanlike
appearance of the job. Though with
out intention to do so, Mr.. Courtney
seems to have challenged public atten-
ton and whether he likes it or not,
his cornfleld is going to receive the
closest watching and criticism from
now on.

Wise ones to the contrary notwith-
standing we are upon the age Of the
tractor, and the sooner people general
ly begin to realize the fact the better
for. all concerned. The tractor is not
perfect yet, Of course; but neither is
the airplane nor wireless telegraphy.
Both have come to stay. Except for
the tractor there would have been more
suffering in England, France and Ger
many during the war than there was.
Except for the tractor bread would be
scarcer in the United States right now
than it Is. The tractor is more expen-
sive than mule power; but it is more
productive. There are people who are
going to buy tractors and fail with
them. Certainly. There are people
who fail at anything. But where one
will fail with tractor or because Of a
tractor, there are many others who
will drop out Of the running because
of failure to come to tractors. The
tractor is here and it is going to grow
bigger and bigger.

1t is now pretty we'll established that
the French government is the prime
mover behind the Rhenish republic un-
dertaking. The French want an in
dependent German state between them
and the Prussians and to secure the
same are willing to make extensive
concessions in the way Of indemnity as
we'll as territory that they would 9TH
erwise expect from the Germans.
While it appears that there is not a
little sentiment among the German in
habitants Of the Rhine provinces in IA
vor Of the proposed republic. the ma
jority is opposed. The Prussian senti-
ment is overwhelmingly opposed to the
Rhenish republic idea.
