AMERICAN TOURISTS /
VISIT WRECK OF VERDUN

VERDUN, France, Jan. II (by maiD
Scores of American tourists have
visited Verdun recently, most Of them
spending part of day looking over
the ruins of the "city that was' and
passing on to some other nearby town
for the night Many of these sight
seers have been individuals and dele
cations who came over in some con-
nection with President Wilson's trip.
Several thousand French soldiers
and handful of American troops are
CHARTERED in the shell-shattered city.
No civilians have come back, as the
tremendous task of rehabilitation has
not begun. Every Sunday morning the
bells of the cathedral are rung, but
no services have yet been held within
it's bare walls. The bell tower is one
of the few parts of the church which
have not been shot away by German
shells.

WILL BE GOOD YEAR
FOR FISHING BUSINESS

Indications are that the fishing
business in Alaskan waters will be
better for the small operator during
the next year than ever BEFORE" said
Captain c. H. Gallagher, who has been
engaged in that industry at a point
on Icy strait for many years. There
has been some intimation that there
would be little fishing during the com.
ing year and that many of the indie
pendent operators will suspend activi.
ties. II fished with only one trap last
year but this coming season l expect
to build two more.
General conditions in Alaska are
recovering from the effects of the war
and almost every boat bound north
ward is taking back the people who
came out to work ir1 the shipyards,
munition plants and other industries.
"All of us in the North are optimistic
as to the future"

DAWSONF0R
A LEAGUE TO
BOOST YUKON

A league for the development OF
Yukon Territory, to be known as the
Yukon Development League, has been
organized at Dawson. All the heavy
mining operators, merchants and sub
stantial business men of Dawson be-
long to the league. The purpose OF
the organization is to secure Yukon's
share of the great war indemnities
and other moneys which the Dominion
of Canada plans to spend throughout
the provinces.
The scope of the league includes
Territorial development and with this
end in view petition will in due time
be forwarded to Ottawa asking that
railway, to be constructed by the gov
eminent, to be built to connect with
the nearest transcontinental railway
either in British Columbia or Alberta.
The promoters of the Yukon De-
velopment League claim that such a
railway line will open up one of the
greatest mineral zones on the North
American continent, and give work to
a vast number of unemployed among
whom will necessarily be many of the
boys from overseas.
Frank Lowe, a Dawson merchant,
was elected president of the league
and J. w. Clifton, a member of the
executive committee, as represen-
tative at Whitehorse. At the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Clifton, it was decided to
extend an invitation to Whitehorse to
organize a similar league to cooperate
with the one in Dawson, as he thought
that by SO doing the combined efforts
of the people of the Territory would
result eventually in securing a great
reduction in the costs of producing
minerals as we'll as in the rates Of
transportation both to and from the
Yukon to the Outside.

TO ASK RECOGNITION
FOR INSULAR POSSESSION

SAN JUAN, Jan. 20 by maiD -
United States Senator Miles Poin-
dexter, member of the senate naval
affairs committee, has written letter
to the Porto Rican department of edu-
cation promising to endeavor to name
battleship after the island of Porto
Rico. This would be in compliance
with, petition recently signed by
thousands of Porto Rican school child
rem and forwarded to Washington.

Whitehorse Star Approves.

Commenting on the announcement
of the formation of the league, the
Whitehorse Star says:
1.-THE telegram does not state it to
be SO, but we presume the intention
of the incorporators of the Yukon De-
velopment League is to have laWson
named as the interior terminal Of the
proposed government4built railway.
The Weekly Star is in favor of any
thing that will help the Territory, but
we have grave doubts as to whether
or not the contemplated movement
even if endorsed by the federal gov
eminent, and of that we have still
more serious doubts, would be to the
best interests of Southern Yukon
However, although we are from Mis-
souri,, we are open to conversion, and
will reserve comment until better in
formed as to just what steps are to be
taken by the Dawson organization"

Square Deal for cotton.-Two legis'
lative measures designed to affect the
market prices of cotton were intro
duced in the house Tuesday by rep.
| resentatives from cotton growing
states. Both were referred to the
agriculture committee.
Representative Howard Of Georgia
introduced a bill which he said was
intended to place the prices OF cotton
futures on parity with spot cotton
Five grades of cotton would be fixed
by his measure as the official cotton
standards of the United States
these being middling, strict low mid
ding. strict middling and good mid
ding.
Further, his measure would provide
that average deliveries shall not
grade below middling." This average
he explained, would be maintained by
deliveries of equal quantities Of cot
ton of the grades above and below
middling.
Representative Heflin Of Alabama
proposed by resolution that gam
bling or speculation In cotton was car
ried on at present at the New York
and New Orleans cotton exchange De
prohibited"
price of cotton futures on these ex-
charges" Mr.. Heflin's resolution said,
"and the price Of spot cotton In the
markets of the country, is proof posi-
tive that these two exchanges have
ceased to be places Of legitimate spec
ulation, but have degenerated into
gambling institutions"

According to estimates made by
intelligence officers Of the American
Third army, based upon reports from
all parts of Germany, says CORES
pondent of the Associated press, the
organized German army now locat-
ed in various depots numbers from
100000 to 100000 men. The reports
indicate these soldiers are OF such
morale that they hardly will be avail
able for operations Of any extent The
number of men in the army, reports
reaching Coblenz suggest, Is decreas-
ing rapidly The new volunteer army
numbers between 100000 and 100000
men of doubtful morale, as they have
not yet been organized fully nor test
ed fairly. The volunteer army which
is being organized for the purpose OF
stopping Polish and Bolsheviki invas-
ion of the German territory has 49,
600 men in the region Of Frankfort on
the oder. Many volunteer battalions
also are reported moving eastward.
The organized German army consists
of the classes Of 1898 and 1893, less
some men discharged because they
live in occupied territory. less large
numbers of deserted and less some
men discharged, according to demopll-
ization plans. The officers and non
commissioned officers Of this army are
men who intend to remain permanent
ly in service.

Mr.. Harding to come to Columbia
1t Is probable that the governor OF the
federal reserve board, w. P. G. Hard
ing, will visit Columbia to discuss with
representatives of the people the
financing of the cotton crop. B. Har-
ris. state commissioner Of agriculture
has invited Mr.. Harding and has re-
ceived the following letter in reply:
II acknowledge the receipt Of your
telegram Of the oath inst, and would
state that I expect to be in Atlanta on
Friday, February IA. It Is possible
that may be able to arrange to stoI
over in Columbia on Tuesday, the
18th.
"I had a conversation over the tele-
phone Saturday with the director OF
operations Of the shipping board, and
suggested that ocean rates on cotton
be stabilized for the remainder Of the
present cotton season. I understand
that the rate to English ports is about
$24 per bale, while the rate to Japan
Is Just about half, and was Informed
that representatives Of the British gov
ernment were. not agreed that C. lower
rate to England would be advisable
and that pending an agreement on
their part, 1t Is improbable that the
rate would be reduced. It would moi
be proper for me to put myself in the
attitude of criticising another agency
of the government, but it Is my per.
sonal opinion that farmers should
unite in asking for reduction In
rates, and that they also might con-
slider reducing the acreage for 1919.
Theoretically the stock Of cotton Is
inadequate to meet the world demand
but in many countries the demand fol
foodstuffs is moe urgent than that fol
clothing, with the result that there Is
tendency on the part Of prospective
purchases, before buying to let the
cotton market work downward. II
seems to me that the tendency car
best be counteracted by agitation fol
a. reduction"

Leon Bourgeois. former premier and
French authority on the league OF ma
tions, cites as precedent for the pun
ishment of the Germans of all degree
for cruelty to prisoners of war, etc.,
the case of Henry Wirz. the COM
mandant of the Confederate prison at
Andersonville, Ga, who was tried by
the Federals, after the war, by court
martial and shot, for alleged cruelty
to Federal prisoners. etc. While we
think there is no question OF the fact
that many Germans should be punish
ed with death for their brutal and
criminal treatment of Allied prison
ers, we think that N. Bourgeois Is very
unfortunate in the precedent he cites.
Wirz treated Federal prisoners as
well as he was able to treat them with
the means at his command. He had
no instructions from the Confederate
government that warranted brutality
and he was guilty of nothing of the
kind. He was shot more out of spir-
it of spiteful revenge than anything
else-on the representations of pris-
oners who wanted to get even. But in
the case of the Germans there is plen-
ty of evidence that the Kaiser HIM
self ordered all kinds OF cruelties, and
it would seem that proper punishment
of the Kaiser should cover the cases
of those who carried out his orders.

AS to whether or not the proposition
to work all convicts on the public
roads under state supervision Is the
right thing we do not know: but we dc
not mind saying that if it results in
the abolition of the county chaingane
we will be glad of that Nobody can
claim that convict labor is as economi-
cal as free labor, certainly not convict
labor under county chaingang condi-
tions. The only argument for the
chaingang is the necessity of having
some way of taking care Of short term
prisoners; but even that argument Is
of doubtful force, for as we see it II
would be cheaper and more satssfac-
tory to confine these prisoners in jail
than to attempt to work them on the
roads.

Auditor Love, who has been through
a siege of influenza, Is now feeling well
enough to look after the affairs Of his
office again. He is not feeling in first
class shape, but still he thinks he is
improving steadily and Is arranging to
all appointments at Rock Hill and
Fort Mill, as will be seen from the ad-
vertised notice in another column. The
office in the courthouse. Of course, Is
open every day.
Most people have the idea that the
payment of money involves an act Sc
pleasant to the recipient that such lit
tie matters as time and place are no,
to be considered. That Is true Of the
people who have no regular place OF
business and who keep their books In
their heads. 1t Is not true, however
of people who have much business and
long accounts to keep. A busy busi-
ness man does not want to be paid
money anywhere except in his office
unless perhaps he Is out for the spe-
cial purpose Of collecting. Take FOL
instance the case Of any business man
who has an office or store. His place
is there during business hours, and he
is not likely to go away from there ex-
cept on some special errand. The prin
cipal concern with any careful business
man is to see that any amounts paid
him on account or otherwise are prop
erly credited on his books. Any small
sum that may be handed him away
from his place Of business Immediately
becomes a matter Of especial concern
that frequently interferes with the err
rand that might have taken him away
from his office. Particularly careful
business men, on receiving such pay.
ments, If they are unable to get the
creditor to go to his office or await q
more convenient season, will turn and
go back TO their places OF sbusiaessFte

ence and loss Of time frequently in.
wolves more than the value Of the pay.
ment. In the interest Of busy people
and of good business, we are suggest
ing to people who may not have
thought about these things to think
about them. The place to pay is at the
business office.
