- More Yorkvilie people attended the
state campaign meeting at Filbert
than would have attended if the meet

Reused from its moribund lethargy
BY the demand of the palates of thou
sands of smokers, the five-cent cigar
is back with it's multi-colored ban
ners streaming. In shop windows and
on cigar counters everywhere the
nickel smoke product, which disap-
peared back in war days, is being dis
played in a profusion of shapes and
varieties, while gigantic bill board ad-
vertisements are sending forth their
message Of this return to normalacy
in the tobacco world. what the
country needs most Is good five cent
cigar" is a remark attributed to Marx
Twain. And those smokers, who saw
the one time five cent brands mount to
six, seven, eight and sometimes ten
cents, during the period of soaring
prices, now have plenty to select from
Tobacco merchants, cigar wholesalers
and tobaccOnists all admit that the
five cent cigar is the fastest moving
article in the trade but they disagree
as to its merits. Retail dealers are
inclined to the belief it is as good rs
any Cf the OLD brands which climbed
during the war. Tobacco merchants
say II can ne dS SOOu DIS lnc olu
stand by because the cost of materials
and labor is still above the old level
and manufacturers say it isn't as good
as the nickle favorite of pre-war days
I'VE can't get enough five cent cigars
said salesman in a tobacco shop
I'VE have pretty good cigars at that
price now, however and my customers
buy so many | keep the boxes on the
counter. If I put them in the case
would be busy hauling them out and
returning them. The two for n quar-
ter is done for, in my opinion. The
public wants five cents for every day
and ten cents for Sunday"

saw many wild animals. These con-
gregated for the luXtiriant vegetation,
made possible by the heat generated
by the springs, and in the valley were
hundreds of mountain sheep and goats,
caribou and moose with bears and
other fur bearing animals. The moose,
almost square from fat. were so tame
that he has been able to walk amongst
them and could almost touch them. he
said. The tree growth in the valley
was abnormal, Mr.. Perry states. The
ordinary wild rose bushes were like
trees, with stems as thick as a mans
forearm, and so dense that it was i'm
possible to force a way through, while
the willows grew TO tree sizes, and II
was possible to walk along the
branches. Some of the trunks of the
latter were fully a foot and half
through. Vines grew to a length OF
about sixty feet and nettles and ferns
were both of unusual height Another
peculiar feature was that the valley
was free from frost in the winter be-
cause OF the action of the boiling
springs and the consequent vapor. I'm
portant mineral deposits were dis
covered by Mr.. Perry, including gold,
silver and copper. Coal, iron and oil
formations were also found.

The Citadel at Charleston, has loom
ed up an important issue in the state
campaign. During the past few years
the appropriations for the new Citadel
plant have loomed up to tremendous
proportions. At the present time the
Citadel is debtor to the state to an ag-
gregate of something over one million
dollars. 1t is understood that large
part of this is to be paid back out OF
the proceeds of the old Citadel prop.
erty; but past experience is that un-
dertakings of this kind rarely mate
rialize. According to the ambitious
plans which are now under way, the
Citadel folks are not only going to re-
ouire all the money that has been di-
rectly appropriated along with the
money that has been borrowed; but
some more after that. Indeed the state
has already given to the Citadel for
building purposes more than than it
has ever given to Winthrop. Winthrop
has had more for building purposes to
be sure; but it has not had so much
from the state.

HOUSE STILLS TAKEN.

Two pretty little "house stills" fell
into the hands of officers operating in
Catawba township, about seven miles
east of Rock Hill Yesterday. One out
fit was found in the home of VIII
SlOop, a white farmer and the other
was found in the smoke house on the
premises of Dan Coins, white. Coins
was placed under arrest, but Sloop
managed to get away. leaving his mule
and plow in the field. About gallon
of liquor was found in n barn on
SloOp's place and three barrels of beer
were found hidden under a wood pile.
4 barrel of beer was found in the
smoke house at Coins place.
Both stills were taken complete
cap. worm and all. One was of about
Is gallons capacity and the other Of
about 10 gallons. 1t was evident from
the surroundings that both. stills had
been doing business for quite Il while.

HURT BY HAIL.

Crops of farmers living west Of
Yorkvillc suffered considerable dam
age on account of hail storm which
came shortly after O'Clock last even
ing. The storm extended over an area
about two and one-h half miles wide and
some ten miles long, crops of farm
erS living rs far rs Piedmont springs
being in the territory struck by the
storm. Farmers in the hail area, who
were in Yorkville this morning, said
that some of the hail stones were as
large rs the end of Il mans thumb and
that the stones fell thick and fast for
n couple of minutes. The hail was
quite severe in YorI<villc also. and gar
dCnS this morning gave evidence Of Il
severe beating by hail stones. Farm
erS said this morning that II was i'm
practical to tell just how great the
dGmaGc was, but that there was no
question of its severity. Some Of them
showed stalks of cotton and corn that
were literally reduced to shreds.
Among the farmers whose crops seem
to have suffered tho greatest damage
were the following: j. B. PlcXico. l.. Il.

Lancaster Citizen: Rev. a. X. White
sides, who recently accepted call TO
the pastorate of Pleasant Hill, A. r. p.
church, has been formally installed as
pastor of that congregation. This in
cident serves as an excuse for several
remarks on the old subject that you
never know what you can do until you
try Not many years ago the congre-
cations at Unity and Pleasant Hill,
though fifteen miles apart, were group
ed and served by one pastor dividing
time between them. This was not en-
tfrely satisfactory to either of the con-
gregations, and they decided to call a
pastor for full time to each charge.
| Once the decision was reached 1t was
| found Just as easy TO secure financial
support for full time pastors as 1t had
been for part time, and there are no
| country congregations in Lancaster
county now more progressive and alive
than these two.

The Seniority Rule.

The rail executives are basing their
refusal to accept the presidents recon-
mendations for the settlement Of the
shopmen's strike on the ground of the
injustice it would be to the men who
have remained faithful to them in the
crisis, etc.
Also these executives try to claim
that they are seeking to protect the
public.
Both propositions are reasonable and
justifiable enough; but the trouble is
that they are of doubtful sincerity.
The great bulk of the shopmen are
union men, and it is a notorious fact
that union workmen in any line are
the best workmen.
The men about whom the rail exc
cutives talk about protecting are for
the most part men who went back
on their obligations to the union for
the purpose of bettering themselves at
the expense of those TO whom they had
sworn to he faithful, and men who had
not been allowed in the union because
of incompetency.
When tho strike came on, the classes
referred to got into regular work and
good pay, which work they could not
have gotten on a basis of real cffici-
ency in comparison with other men.
These men were employed by the
railroads not because of their efncicn-
cy; but out Of a desire to whip the
fight.
If the rail executives had cared any
thing about the public, which means
the retail merchant, the tinker. the
gardener, the preacher, the doctor and
the farmer, they would not have
sought TO reduce the pay Of the shop
men who have q community of inter
est with these other classes.
What the rail executives arc trying
TO do is to break up the unions, so they
can make slaves of all the men, in
cluding not only those who went out;
but those who took the places of those
who went out.
The rail executives are not concern
cd about the public nor are they con-
ccrncd about the living standards to
which the 3hopmcn have a right; they
are concerned first about salaries, and
second about dividends, and they are
foolish enough to think that increased
salaries and dividends may be coined
out of the sweat and blood of labor,
the more especially if labor can only
he diSorganiZcd.

The State Campaign.

1t is not uncommon to hear people
express imputience at the state cam
paign, and declare how much better
satisfied they would be if they did not
have to submit to the annoyance of
such things.
To be perfectly frank about it, n
state campaign does involve n good
deal Of mental worry and discom-
fort to the people who give their atten-
ton to it and follow it up.
Hard thinking over matters political
is not an easy matter by any means.
1t is about as difficult and trying en-
ployment as one can well conceive of.
But when one stops to think of what
is involved in the matter and what
ones duty 10, he cannot easily get the
consent of his conscience to leave the
responsibility to others while he takes
things easy.
Self government means government
by individuals, to whom authority
must be delegated by the people to be
governed.
Every citizen is entitled to a say in
the selection of the people who are to
be invested with governing power and
authority, and while there are many
who have but small relish for such re-
sponsibility, it is a self evident fact
that dominance in the government will
go to those who come nearest to the
acceptance and discharge of their duty.
People who have the headache over
the idea Of interesting themselves in
such tiresome thing as politics can
expect nothing better than being gov
erned by the to them Stupid" people
who show more interest.
1t is the right Of every citizen to
take hand in the choosing Of officers
and those who fail to exercise that
right should have no complaint as to
the kind of officers chosen. Even if
they do complain it will make but
small difference, because active, up
and doing, go-ahead people who run
things will pay no attention to them.

The Democratic enrolment in York
county this year is 6,275 against 3,S77
in 1920 and 1850 In 1919.
The government report placed the
condition of the York county cotton
crop at 67 on July 25 against 66 on
June 25.
The attendance on the state cam
paign meeting at Confederate Park,
Rock Hill, last Tuesday night, was
largest in tho state up to that time;
but there was much larger crowd at
Filbert on Wednesday,. The Confed-
crate park crowd was made up princi-
pally of Rock Hill people; but all parts
of the county were well represented.
Mr.. Kelly Inman, Of Bullocks Creek,
has told the negroes on his place that
if they do their full duty with regard
to the boil weevil, he is going to give
them a big barbecue after the fight Is
dependent upon the results TO the boil
weevil; but upon the faithfulness with
which the men who are interested
work. That Is the right way to go at
the thing. This boil weevil fight is
big thing and there must be complete
cooperation all along the line.
Of course Jennings K. Owens will
not get all the York county votes for
lieutenant governor; but he will get
lots Of them. Jennings was born in
Rock Hill, and largely educated in
Yorkville, and the hundreds of YORK
county people who know him are salts
fled that he is as worthy Of the honor
to which he aspires as is any man in
the race. Mr.. Owens has been making
a good record in the legislature, as u
representative not only of his adopted
county Of Marlboro but of the whole
state, and he is going to get the sup
port of most interested citizens who
have been keeping up with his record.
have been about quite a lot and l
have talked to people who have been
about more than 1 have, remarked Mr..
w. NJ. Mcconnell yesterday, and l am
quite persuaded that York county
farmers are making a little better
fight than the farmers Of any county
in the cotton belt have made hereto
fore on the first coming of the weevilS.
OF course the farmers are now fighting
we'll over the whole cotton belt where
the weevil has been; but what / mean
is that our York county farmers have
been more prompt to get down to
business at once promptly bringing to
bear all the best knowledge and ex-
perience of the past: thirty years.

it is generally cured by visions of its

The cotton caterpillar is doing great
damage to the cotton crop in the
southwest. Hon. J. Skottowe Wanna
maker, president of the American Cot
ton association, writes:
"While | was writing this letter TO
you | have received a telegram from
DR.. Coad, in charge of the Delta lab
oratories at Tallulah, La, in which he
informs me that they have an lnEa-
sion of the cotton caterpillar through
out Texas and Louisiana and extend
ing into Arkansas and Mississippi.
This is an abnormally early date and
indicates the possibility Of very scri-
Gus damage. He informs me that there
is not enough calcium arsenate or poi

Just what the outcome of the coal
situation is going to be of course it is
impossible to predict with certainty;
but the wise people of the country will
do well to look out for a supply of fire
