quirer that movement that is now well
on for the holding Of Made. in the
Carolinas" exposition in Charlotte,
September 1920 is we'll deserving Of
all the encouragement that the people
OF these states are able to give it. We
are not unmndful Of the tremendous
value of foreign trade, for instance, to
this country as whole. and, we think
we see the time when America will be
the worlds best and most certain
Source of, supply for all the more use
full manufactur that contribute to
the comfort, convenience and pleasure
Of mankind; but against that day,
what promise is there that we here in
the Carolinas will be much better stu
atcd than most other people? There are
few Of US probably who are not fa-
miliar with Acsop'S story OF the
astronomer who while studying the
stars fell in a we'll. While we are
not exactly in that danger, perhaps, we
are suffering loss through failure to
appreciate what we have already done,
to say nothing of even more fragrant
neglect of the possibilities by which
we are surrounded. This made in the
Carolinas exposition is not going to
show anything like what would be
shown at IL Made in New England,
or Made in Ohio" or Indiana eX-
position would show; but nevertheless
it is going to he an cyc-opcncr, COM
pared with :; fifty. years ago, or !; even
twenty five years ago. 1t will show
that we have. developed quite an, cIn-
pire of industry; but its greatest value.
will be to those who CAN get from what
has been done inspiration as to what
can. he done. That all the larger
manufacturers will be represented is
To- be taken as n matter Of course, and
they will make the exposition worth
while; but nevertheless we are not
without Il certain anxiety in connec-
ton with the matter. That anxiety
arises out of Il fear that among the
smaller manufacturers there may be
too many who will not realize this op-
portunity until after it is too late
who will attend the exposition unpre-
pared, and see after they get there,
that if they had only brought such eX-
hibits as they should have brought,
RI
helped on their: way. Yes this Made
in CarQ1ina::ESposition is worthy, Of a44kh

ever amounts to anything. The X. K.
X. can be deemed necessary only in
the minds of those who consider the
duly constituted open-door government
inadequate. No man who considers
the duly constituted government ade-
quate could want a secret government.
It is this condition that will eventually
bring about the conflict. And If the
secret government should overcome
the open government, anarchy would
have to result. There is no doubt Of
the need for reform in the character
of the open and above board govern
ment; but there is little hope for any
thing better in any kind Of secret
government.

people on the pretty lawn Of Trinity
church on East Liberty street last

cant presented under the capable di-
rection of Miss Maybelle Stuart

There were considerably more than
a hundred children in the pageant,

alleged haunted house! but 1t turns out
that there was no ghost at all. The

the noises were like tthe groans of a

,of the house conceived the idea OF
charging admission land hundreds of
people paid so cents each to satisfy
their curiosity. They could hear the
noises; but could not agree just what
made them or where they were locat-

There is energetic agitation on in

to; prohibit the establishment of
those institutions. There is to be a
public meeting on the subject tonight.
!, Although the YorkviIIe Enquirer has
no reliable statistics as to the cotton
acreage in York county this year as
compared with last year, it is certain
of the fact that this acreage is very
much reduced. There has been re-
duction in the acreage put to crops of
all kinds. In other words there is not
as much land under cultivation this
wear as there was last year; but there
is probably more corn in proportion TO
cotton than there has ever been in the
history Of the county.
A hard surface road between York
vile and Rock Hill would contribute TO
the material development Of the whole
county to larger extent than the
same amount of hard, surface road

To be sure there would be benefit to
the two towns; but there would be as
much proportional benefit to indivlou-
al citizens everywhere. People on the
"a stern side Of the county have oc-
casion to come to Yorkville and peo-
plc on the western side Of the county

this road as it now stands. are I'M
pressed with the large amount OF trar-
ic over it. There is little question OIL
the fact that this road carries more
traffic than does any other road IN
the county and this traffic is on the ll-
crease. A hard, surface road would re-
duce the cost Of it and accelerate the
speed Of it. The county is standlhe
in its own light in the neglect of some
crcditable enterprise in connectloh
