Promises.

The Bible tells us. that God loves the
man who though to his loss has sworn,
will not break his plightcsl word.
Men respect such a man when they
find him.
All men do not speak the truth, but
all men respect the. man who does
speak the truth, and while it is not un-
common for men 10 tolerate man
who does not speak the truth such Il
man never enjoys the real confidence
even of his friends.
The promises that the people of this
country made TO the soldiers of the
World Wal. are still fresh in the
minds of the people who made those
promises.
one of the most important promises
that was made was that to the effect
that the soldier should have prefer
ence over the man who was not a
soldier. ~"
There are people who sincerely try
to live up to this promise and these are
people who have forgotten all about it.

THE SOUTH AND THE WEST.
Senator Ladd Urges Co. operation for
Mutual Protection.

Greensboro, n. c., August 15.-For-
ty-three billion dollars have been lost
by the people of the United States
Through the unnatural defation fore
ed through" Senator L. f. Ladd, Re-
publican, of North Dakota, declared in
an address today before the opening
session of the Southern Tariff asso-
citation.
Basing his figures on recent testi-
money of John Shelton Williams, for
mer comptroller Of the currency, Sen
ator Ladd said the nation Is "indebt-
ed to Mr.. Williams for enlightening it
as to the working of the Federal Re-
serve system as now carried out by
seven men who have the power to in
fate sand contract without regard to
the government
I'VE have recently witnessed the
methods pursued under the guidance
of these uncontrolled guardians of our
money for further enslaving the peo-
pie of our country" the speaker said.
Having inflated the currency until
the dollar was worth about 40 cents,
the government proceeds to borrow
$4,000, 100000 to help pay the expenses
of great World war. The real value
of these dollars was not to exceed
10000, 100000 in the purchasing power
under normal conditions.
THE same seven men proceeded to
deflate the purchasing power of the
dollar and now the government will
have to Mquidate that debt; that is
the common people, the reel workers
of the land, will pay for the most of II
on a basis representing the value Of
$50, 600, 900, 900 when expressed in terms
of agricultural products"
Referring to the tariff, Senator Ladd
advocated an alliance between the
South and West to prevent the farm
ers from becoming the prey Of the
great manufacturing centers."
THE farmer is not justified" he
said, "in remaining silent under the
treatment which affords 10 per cent
protection on raw hides and then gives
$50 per cent protection on leather pro-
ducts, so hidden that the average per-
son does not know what is the trou-
ble
I'm the Fordney tariff bill" Senator
Ladd said, "a sop is thrown" which
if accepted, will plunge the farmers
more deeply into debt than ever be-
fore
unless the farmers of the South
and West make their demands felt,
Senator Ladd said, they will be fool
ed into quiescence- until it is too late
and the Eastern manufacturer has
built wall of protection about him
that will enslave the American farmer
and force him to lower his standard
of living"
Senator Ladd said some progress
was being made in the enactment OF
the laws beneficial to agriculture and
declared the present session of con-
gress had passed or had under consid-
Grafton more constructive and helpful
legislation dealing with agriculture
than had been enacted during the pre-
ceding ten years.

BULLock's CREEK CHURCH

Members of Bullock's Creek presby-
terian church have under way plans
and preparations for the e-modeling
of>the parsonage at cost Of several
hundred dollars.
Bullock's Creek church has been
without a pastor since Rev. II. r.
Overcash left several months ago and
it is stated that the congregation is
now looking around for a new pastor
and is preparing to remodel the par
sonage and improve the church prop
erty generally before issuing a call.
Despite the fact that number Of
members have moved away to other
localities within the past two years,
Bullock's Creek still has one of the
largest rural congregations in York
county and is the center Of one. of the
most prosperous sections in the county
Bullock's Creek is not only the old
est church inl York county but one of
the oldest in the Piedmont section Of
South, Carolina. Even before the
Revolutionary war, according to some
historians, Bullock's Creek was an i'm
portant meeting place for both Wings
and Tories. Here it was that Lacey,
Hill and others met to plan for resist
ance 10 the British; and here it was
that CORVALLIS the British commander
in the south, is said to have encamped
while on his way to the assistance of
Col. Banistcr Tarlton, and while there
heard the news Of the disastrous de-
feat at CowpeDs.

The Yorkvillc Enquirer does not alb
solutely know this to he n fact but
takes the word of people who say they
are familiar with the weevil and they
have seen it in different localities.
If called upon to judcially estab-
lish the presence of the boil weevil,
we would have to rely on evidence yet
to be gathered rather than evidence
actually in hand; but still we are not
inclined to deny the existence of the
boil wcevil.
As the result of such inquiries as we
have made in different sections, we
have not disclosed any considerable
damage by the boil weevil in any par.
ticular locality. .... ....
There are still those who maintain
that the boil wecvil will never put
an end 10 cotton growing in this
county; that the damage it will inflict
at its worst will not be greater than
that inflicted by many other. pests
with which we have already contend
ed. As to this we do not know; but
DIR information is that if the pest has
only appeared this year, it will hardly
get, in it's most destructive work. be-
fore next season or possibly the sea-
son after the next. The correctness
of that slIr1nise remains to be seen.
As to what the cotton growers will
do in case the boil weevil takes the
county we cannot say, further than
that the cotton growers Of other sec
tioms have re-adjusted themselves to
the situation, and that the cotton
growers of this section will do like
wise.
