civil war, it will be q long long time
before men settle the question as to
why we went into the world war.
The great Civil war was precpitated
by the act Of South Carolina seceeding
from the union and on both sides
secession was accepted as the issue;
but who is going to say that this war
would have happened at that time ex-
cept for the slavery question?
Our Mexican war was purely and
simply war Of conquest and in the
abstract the most unjust war in which
this country was ever engaged.
In the opinion of The Yorlkville En-
quirer Americas entry into the world
war was purely and simply. for the
preservation CT American independ-
ence. No, America was not directly
threatened; but the good sense of the
American people clearly forsaw that il
Germany should succeed in the con-
quest Of Europe, it would be ques-
ton Of only a short time thereafter
before America would have to either
fight or yield her independence.
However a botch some Of our lead
ers may have made of it, America was
justified in going into that war, and
if she had not gone in she would have
deserved all that would have been
coming to her.
But the two proudest things about
Americas connection with the World
war are the glorious manner in which
American troops conducted themselves,
and the unselfish magnanimity that
has characterized Americas use Of the
tremendous advantages she has gained.

Hitting the old pill when hits count

they made, the American Legion Lar
rupers Of Yorkville, walked away with
Fort Mill on the Yorkville Graded
school grounds Tuesday afternoon by
a score Of to 6. twas a hard fought
game and the victory that the Legion
aires obtained was richly deserved
since it was no walk away.
Mister" How'rd McMackin, pltcn-
in = for the Legionaires, was there With
the goods when things looked tight ana
much Of the credit for the victory goes
to him.
Arthur Nicely made his first appear
ance in q Legion uniform and he play
ed great game in left field, taking
everything that came his way and nit
ting the ball when hits were needed.
The entire infield Of the legion team
appeared to be little off, rolling up
eoodly number of errors; but not qul!e
enough to lose the game, a batting RAJ, RAJ,
ly in the eighth inning after Fort MIL
had tied the score, netting TWO more

There were flashes Of real baseoail

A pretty fair crowd was out to see

team having two victories to lts creolt.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board Of commissioners
devoted its regular monthly meeting
last Wednesday to the transaction OF
business coming within the usual fou-
tine.
Establishment of a credit with the
Rank of Glover for $4,000, secured by
three notes Of $4,000 each at IL per
cent interest, was perhaps the most
Important single item of business dis
posed Of.
In reply to a communication from
the Fort Mill township road commls-
sioners asking the board to '!ocate
certain new road, the board ADVISED
the Fort Mill commissioners that un-
da,. the law the matter of locating
roads is now entirely within the dis
cretion of the township commissioners
that the county board has nothing to
do with the matter.
There was some informal discussion
Of the location of the proposed West
road between Yorkville and Sharon.
Attorney Brice advised that because of
the conditions existing in this case the
task of location would devolve jointly
ON the county board Of commissioners,
the Western Road commission and the
State Highway commission. The west
Road commission has say because OF
the county appropriation it is to dis
burse. and the county board of COM
missioners has a say because OF its
control Of it's jurisdiction over the
chaingang. apd the State Highway
commission fIas a say because Of it's
discretion as to the expenditure of the
E1aderal anprODratiOn.
1t appears that the State Highway
commission made two main surveys.
One comes into Torkville from Sharon
down the Kings Mountain road. and
the other goes out of Yorkvlle by way
Of what is known as the Sutton spring
road; but crosses Turkey creek some
distance south of Sutton spring. leav-
ing the present road mostly to the
north.
There is much difference in judg-.
ment and desire among those most inS
terested in the proposed road. one
group advocating what is designated
as the upper route and the other advo-
eating the lower route. From such in
formation as has been gathered 1t ap-

The Want Ad.

One thing The Yorkville Enquirer
would like very much to see IS Iho'e
extensive use of its want ad Columns
To be sure this would be a source
of revenue and profit to The IorKVllie
Enouirer. and there is no need TO dis
cuss the matter further from that
standpoint, except that The YorkVilie
ENQUIRER does not hesitate to say III
its opinion the profit will be'1ust as
great to individual users Of want aus
and to the public generally.
There is no disputing the fact thal
the want ad is a most wonderful medl-
um for the development Of prontaoie
intercourse among the patrons or the
newspaper in which they appear, ana
neither is there any disputing the TACT
that the important possibilities ol
such medium for development are
enhanced by the extent OF the nelu
covered by the newspaper used ana
the thoroughness with Which suc''
newspaper covers that field.
Surely everybody in this part Oh the
country is aware of the thoroughness
with which the Yorkville Enquirer
covers every portion Of York county
territory.
While some Of the daily papers with
larger fields, have larger circulatlons'
it is probably a fact that no paper IN
South. Carolina covers the field 1t is
supposed TO fill more thoroughly than
tho Yorkvillc Enquirer covers YORK
county.
Most of the people of York county
who take any newspaper take the
Yorkville Enquirer, and Of those who
do not actually take it themselves
there are very few who do not read 1t
every issue in whole or in part.
The advantage Of the use of the want
ad in such a newspaper ought to be
apparent to all-the advantage Of the
advertiser in securing publicity for
such information as he wants 10
make public, and the advantage to the
entire York county public in having
such an exceptional means of securing
complete and thorough publicity.

A recent decision of the United
States supreme court, according to the
Manufacturers Record Of Baltimore
seems calculated to put a stop to the
efforts of the Federal reserve banks 10
bludgeon non-member banks to remit
for checks drawn upon themselves at
par, This fight has been in progress
for several years, since 1914, IN tact'
Member banks remit at par for checks
drawn on them. Non-member banks
charge exchange on checks drawn ny
their customers when the checks are
presented through other banks. The
member banks have been trying 10
force the non-member banks to pay on
the same basis as member banks. Tne
tests used by the Federal reserve sys-
tenn against the state system nave
been most questionable. For instance
when q. state bank would refuse to re-
NIT at par the reserve bank would
hold back an accumulation OF checNs
over a period Of several weeks ana
then present the whole accumulation
at the window of the state bank and
demand payment in cash. The reserve
bank, having previously taken care 10
inform itself as to how much cash the
state bank had on hand, sought 10
compel the suspension of the state
banks because Of failure to Immediate
" honor the checks. The unitea
states supreme court has denounced
this practice in most scathlng IAN
guage, virtually imputing kind Oh
incendiarism against the member
banks guilty of it. There is reason TO
believe that as the result Of the de-
cision the practice will be discontinu-
ed and the member banks Will IN
future have to rely upon legal pro-
cesses to carry it's point against the
state banks.

Women Of America have instituted
nation wide campaign for the restora-
tion Of the little French village which
had 70 be destroyed by the American
marines in order to get at the Germans
at Belleau Wood. This Belleau Wood
it will be remembered, marked the
nearest approach of the Germans TO
Paris in the summer Of 1918, and it is
the point from which they took the
back track toward their own border.
The German outpost had established
itself in the little village Of stone
houses and was yictoriously pushing
on until it came up against the m't-
rines. The marines do not know how
to give way and there commenced the
beginning of the end. While the ma
rines and Germans were in a death
grapple in Belleau Wood, the Amcrl-
can artillery smashed the little village
to smithereens. About three thousand
marines died in Belleau Wood, and
also a. good many thousand Germans.
It was a wonderful battle. the pick or
the German army against Americans
whose only watchword was conquer or
die, and when the fighting was over
Belleau Wood was clear Of Germans
except such as were dead or prisoners.
The French government has decreed
that Belleau Wood shall forever be a
national park called after the Ameri-
can marines, and this movement by
American women is to restore the de-
stroyed village to a condition that VIII
be at least as good as before the fight
ing.
