In another column Mrs. A. b., OF
Kings Creek, confirms the correctness
of the recently publiched story of her
action in destroying a distilling outfit
near her home, and assures us that
her husband had no interest in the af-
fair. She thinks, however, that pub
lication of the story has done harm
rather than good. The reasons as
signed by this good lady for her action
are most admirable, and if we have
done any justice to her husband, we
are indeed sorry. Also, We would not
offend this lady for anything in the
world. The story was published for
the same reason that is given by Mrs.
A. B." for her action. We feel that
what she did has the approval of right
thinking law-abiding folks everywhere
and in doing as she did instead Of talk
ing about it, or crying about 1T, she
has furnished a splendid example to
other women, yes, and other men OF
the right spirit, that cannot be alto
gether lost. The facts Of the affair
were already we'll known in the neigh
borhood, and it occurred to us that II
would be better to have them still bet
ter known throughout this whole sec
ton. And that is not all. There were
rumors afioat to the effect that certain
people of that section were threaten
ing that they would fix Mrs. A. B. as
she fixed the still, and although we did
not apprehend that any attempt OF
this kind would be made, still we con-
sidered it very well to let the sure
enough men and women of the county
know what was going on. We are falr
enough also to say that Mrs. A. b. is
exactly right in the comparisons she
makes. There are plenty of good men
who drink liquor; but none OF them
are the better for this very disreputa-
ble habit, whether it be the editor or
The ENQUIRER: one of his relatives or
somebody else. But in the meantime
we hope that the good example spread
by Mrs. A. B. will spread, and that
everybody not only in her neishbor-
hood: but in every other neighborhood
will show the same kind of fearless
courage under the same circumstances,
whenever occasion demands.

The use of counterfeit labels from
the big mail order house of Gimbel
Bros, only illustrates the cunning OF
the I. w. w. in getting by the postal
officials without suspicion. There is
no suspicion on Gimbel Bros. We beg
leave to suggest to York county pa
irons of mail order houses, however,
that it IS just as well, If not a little
better, to supply their wants from
well known, reliable concerns.

Celebrate the coming of the tank
next Monday by buying bond.
But don't be satisfied with buying
one bond. Buy as many as you can.
ANY individual who can raise IS
can buy a $50 bond.

to be free; but people who appreciate
peace will try to buy a bond.
make a first-class home for a hospit-
makes a irst-class home for q hospit-
al" suggests Mr.. j. H. Carroll.
The Peoples Bank and Trust COM
pany has called the balance Of it's cap
ital stock.
Besides being salesday for May,
next Monday is the day appointed for
the coming Of the tank; also for the
Price Of Peace" picture.
Let's have ordinances that will
make this a free market for all kinds
of country produce. If there is any
one thing that should be encouraged
more than another, it is free trade
among the farmers.
TO buy a bond, all you have to do
is to put up ten per cent of the amount
in cash, and the bank will carry it for
you for six months for the interest
that the government will pay. At the
end Of six months you can make such
further disposition as may be neces-
sary.
There will be no trouble about
selling those paving bonds" said Mr..
E. A. Hall, chairman Of the street
committee. I'VE have already had
number of inquiries for them and we
think they can be placed whenever we
are ready The next step is to get the
abutting property petitions signed"
- Since the paragraphs on the sub
ject elsewhere in today's issue were
written The Enquirer has learned
that Miss Leslie d. Witherspoon,
chairman of the Women's Liberty
Loan committee, has started a canvass
looking to the raising of fund to
charter the picture show next Monday,
so as to furnish the opportunity for as
many people to see the Price Of
Peace" as possible. Whether the pic
ture be run for only two or three
hours or all day, however, there will
be no charge for admission. 1t will be
free to all corners alike.
THE rub now," remarked an inter-
ested citizen yesterday, will be to get
those abutting property petitions sign
ed. I am afraid there Is going to be
trouble about that" This citizen had
evidently not analyzed the subject. In
the first place, the unanimity with
which the $50,000 of bonds wac voted
indicates that everybody is favorable.
But suppose the election had been
close enough to invite a contest, and
eventually the courts should uphold the
bonds. The bonds would be just as
available and just as eventually paya-
BILE as If they had been voted unanm-
ously. This money then Is to be spent,
and it Is to be spent on the streets.

If America fails to raise this Victory
loan about half a dozen times over
Europe will have a perfect right to
think that American money chasers
think a great deal more Of their mon
ey than American soldier boys do OF
their lives. And we imagine too that
those boys who did the fighting will
have some contempt for the people
who were kissing and sicking them on
Among other questions the boys will
be asking with perfect propriety will
be: After all, was such a gang OF
tight-wads as that worth fighting for"

MECHANICAL MULES.

Messrs. J. r. Cannon and P. W. Love
of Yorkville, have undertaken practi-
cal experiments with farm tractors,
and so far both are quite pleased.
Mr.. Cannon has Cleveland tractor
of the caterpillar type, ana Mr.. Love
has an International OF large drive
wheel type, and both have been using
their machines for various kinds of
work from pulling plows, digging
stumps and rocks to saving wood.
On Mr.. Cannon's farm, to the south
of Yorkville, his tractor has been do
ing all the heavy preparation plowing
that has been done during the past
month, and it has been doing the work
of hardly less than eight or ten mules;
Mr.. Loves machine has been doing the
same kind of work on his farm on the
eastern outskirts Of town and also 1t
has been used to pull heavy road
machine.
initial experiments in pulling the
road machine, lead to the conclls'f
that the tractor can go easily ana
steadily along with load that eight
mules can handle only with difficulty
and that for but a short time.
Out at the Cannon mill were some
large stones that were in very un-
desirable place. Various attempts had
been made to move them; but mules
and wagons were unequal to the task,
and they were left as they were pend
ing better traction facilities.
Last week the caterpillar tractor was
tried on these stones. BY digging and
nrizine a piece of boiler plate would
be inserted beneath the stone, and
then the tractor would be hitched to
the boiler plate. In each case the
tractor crawled away with the stone
without difficulty. Mules had previ-
ously been unable to bulge it,
Both Mr.. Love and Mr.. Cannon are
receiving numerous applications for
blowing by the day and by CONTRACT,
and both have their hands full. Very
considerable interest is being manifest
ed in the experiment they are making;
because it is generally recognized that
torv for AGRICULTURAL work in this Sec
tion, it will quickly come into extern
sive use.

Democracy at cobIenz.-Carl Miner,
a lawyer and former officer In the
German army, who claims relation
ship to Viscount Miner, the British
secretary for the colonies, was SEN
fenced to prison at Coblenz Wednes-
day for acting in a discourteous man
ner toward American officers. The in
cident occurred on street car be-
tween Coblenz and a suburb, the
American contending that Miner re-
fused to share his seat.
After lengthy argument on behalf
Of Miner before Lieut.. Emmett Hard
wick, Of Stanford, Texas, presiding in
the interior provost marshal court, the
Germ ans lawyer said that the case
was of particular importance because
his client was a cousin Of Viscount
Miner.
1.-The relationship Of the defendant
has nothing to do with this hearing"
said Lieut.. Hardwick. Testimony
shows that Miner was discourteous to
an American officer, which is the is

81 have just come in to tell you," said
Mr.. Sam Lockridge Of Filbert No. l.,
yesterday, that my brother, w. c.
Lockridge, of Pleasant Ridge. has that
ladies' travelling bag that was advertis-
ed in the last issue of The Enquirer.
He found it a week ago and told me
to look out for an advertisement In
The Enquirer and let you know. The
lady can get the travelling bag by COM
municating with him."
'eThe idea Of anybody in this county
having fifty bushels Of cane seed is
certainly something out Of the ordi-
nary," remarked a gentleman to the
editor the other day, referring to that
announcement Of Mr.. C. M. Inman, the
other day. Seeing Mr.. Inman shortly
afterward, the editor repeated the re-
mark, and Mr.. Inman replied: "Yes, by
the way, take that advertisement out.
I have already sold every bit OF that
seed, but want you to see If you can
get me a good fresh milk cow"
Note that advertisement in another
column of corn for sale. Such adver-
tisements are not unusual these days;
but they were unknown in The Enqul-
rer Of twenty years ago. That is ad-
yertisements for the sale Of corn by
local o, PRODUCERS. Advertisements OF
corn by plantation Supply" men, how
ever, were common. They ran like
this: 1--WE beg to announce that we
have just received four carloads OF
corn" But even the supply men did
not always advertise it. They kept corn
as a matter of course, and as they held
liens on their customers the customers
could not get corn elsewhere.
Rev. j. Dean Grain, the well known
mountain evangelist, formerly moon
shine distiller was in the editorial
re ON Of The Enquirer office when he
read the recent story Of how Mrs. A.
b." smashed that distilling outfit. He
read q few lines, stopped to smile, read
a few lines more and smiled, and when
he got through, he looked up, his eyes
agleam with pleasure, and remarked:
well, do you know, my wife did that
very thing once. Yes, sir, she just
went out and smashed the thing, and
no man dared to try to stop her either.
