SOLICITOR STANDS GUARDIAN

Rather than sec them suffered to the
pain and indignity Of prison bars Soli-
citor Henry this week took upon him.
self the role of guardian and protector
for two young white boys who had
pleaded guilty to entering the store of
the Bl2nkenship- johnson Co., in Rock
Hill, and stealing therefrom cigarettes
and candy and other goods. The two
boys, Glenn Sharp and Robert Kim
ball, beth Of them children Of tender
years admitted their guilt. 1t was the
old story Of young and headstrong
boys, left under the guidance and pro-
lection of mothers who could not con-
troll them.
The mothers of the boys promised to
do everything possible to keep them on
the right road in future If given them
the chance and the solicitor wasSquick
to decide that such a procedure would
be much better than a term in the re-
formatory for white youths at Florence.
The boys were discharged upon their
promise to behave in future and to at
tend school and be obedient to their
mothers and their teachers in all things
in future. 1t was agreed further that
they are to report to Mr.. Henry at
every term of the court Of general ses-
sions in York county for the next three
years as to their behavior and their
progress.

The Question of Wool.

1t has been gradually dawning upon
the commercial world of late that while
the southern farmers have been show
ing more sense than heretofore in try
ing to get what is rightfully coming to
them out of the cotton crop, the
British government has not been
neglecting the possibilities offered in
wool
At the beginning of the world war,
far sighted Great Britain began cor
and Australia one Of the dependencies
of great Britain. being the largest
producer Of this commodity, the thing
was quite easy.
Great Britain simply bought the
Australian wool with promises to pay.
40. she did not give her note for it
or anything like that. That was not
necessary. She merely agreed on a
price, said she would take it, and then
handed over the necessary paper.
With the wool held off the market it
could do nothing else than rise, and
Of course the government was never
for moment at any risk.
But there is far sighted financial
wisdom behind the proposition.
America produces one-twelfth of
the worlds supply of wool and con-
sUmes one fourth of 1.-THE world s
supply.

Mail Matter Of the Second Class.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER, % 1919.

Former Secretary Of the treasurer
McAdoo has given out statement IN
which he holds that the right thing to
do in the present difference between
the coal mine operators and the miners
is to require the miners to make a
clean showing of profit and losses on
a basis of the income tax returns OF
last January, brought up to date in
order that the public might judge that
If the miners are entitled to more
wages, where those wages should
come from, whether from the public or
the mine operators. This is a good
suggestion. If it is a fact that the
wages of the miners have not Kept
mace with the cost Of living, the wage
scales should be equitably revised; but
at the same time the increased cost of
coal should not fall upon the con-
sumers Of coal unless it shall appear
that operators are not getting fair
compensation foc> the direction of the
business.

The Farm Tractor.

we do not think that there is any
doubt about the fact that the farm
tractor is coming into this country and
we do not think there is any doubt
about the fact that it is coming to
stay.
To be sure there are a few isolated
cases of people who have bought trac-
tors and thrown them aside as no
good: but where there has been one
case of this kind there have been a
dozen cases of people who have made
the tractors go, and who say that they
fill all requirements.
II will have to be admitted that the
failure of a tractor when it does fail,
is not altogether the fault of the
tractor, for even many good horse
has been spoiled for lack of proper and
intelligent management, and of course
a tractor in hands that are not
competent to take care of it and get
what there is in it, is worse than use
less.
Within the past few days the editor
of The Enquirer has seen fields broken
up and prepared by tractors in a way
they have never been broken up and
prepared before, and in the case of one
field good judges of good farming de-
clared that the superior quality of the
breaking alone was worth almost half
the value of the tractor with which the
work was done.
Provided of course that the tractor
is in competent hands and it is intelli-
gently used, it promises for larger and
more profitable development of the
agriculture of this section; but it is
very we'll to remember that the tractor
is of itself no good and it will never be
any good by itself. 1t can only make
good in the hands Of the intelligent
sympathetic painstaking patient and
Industrious man who is able and will
ing to give it fair show.

Falls cotton mill the first cotton mill

as the county stood in that day. Mrs.
Deal moved to Blacksburg with her
husband in 1879, and continued to live
there up to the time Of her death.
During all of her long life she easily
ranked as one Of the most prominent
progressive, influential and valued resi-
dents of the place. She gave Of her
time and attention as well as her
means to whatever promised to be the
true welfare Of fler heighbors, material,
social or spiritual and in whatever
concerned the veal or woe the commu-
nifty was recognized as an influence to
be reckoned with, because in her quiet
but none the less uncertain way, she
was as strong ar opponent Of evil, as
she was friend of good. The hand
some Presbyterian church building al
Blacksburg owes it's eXistance to the
original initiative and liberal contribu-
tions Of Mrs. Deal, and there is very
little in the town that is worth while
that does not owe much OF what Is best
to her. To be sure Mrs. Deals active
connection with affairs has been on the
wane since her health and strength
began to decline some years ago; but
her surviving friends and acquaintan
ces who understand best what she was
and what she stood for feel that her life
has been a complete success, life that
needs no apologies for things left un-
done.
