Henry Ford, according to Associ-
ated Press dispatches, charges the
money barons' with the tie up of in
dustry. From what he says it is to be
nomic reason for the present situa-
ton; that the group which has ulti-
mate control of the flow of money
through the arteries Of trade have
manipulated so as to bring about i'm
possible conditions in the two great
basic industrieS-transportation and
coal mining. According to his reason
ing it follows that these two great in
dustries have been crippled at their
fountain head by the creation of i'm
possible conditions for the workers,
and the paralysis quickly extends to
all other industries. The most natu-
raj explanation of this action on the
part of the men who are at the bottom
of it, is their desire to increase the
purchasing power of gold and its
SpulN~INHI db llC SApShSS Vi BIouu'
ton. Paralysis of production and
transportation, dries up labor5s sources
of revenue and makes the procuring
of food and clothing and the liquida-
ton Of past Indebtedness that much
more difficult. The past Indebtedness
especially having been contracted on a
basis of abundant money, becomes that
much more difficult to pay out of n
restricted circulation, with the result
of very great enhancement in the
value of gold and it's equivalent in the
control OF the money barons. Mr..
Ford gives these conditions in explana-
ton of the necessity of closing down
his immense plants. He has so man.
aged that he has plenty OF money with
which to operate his business; but to
try to continue in the face of condi-
tions that are now being created would
soon leave him fiat, and hence his
suspension. The final result of the
scheme that is now being manipulated,
thinks Mr.. Ford, will be hunger, nak-
edness and want on the part of the ell
ements least able to take care Of them
selves and that will mean desperation
with consequences that cannot be safe
ly or accurately predicted.

WITHIN THE TOWN

- City Treasurer J. +. Faulkner says
the business license taxes were paid
this year more promptly than usual.
Candidates for county Offices ad-
dressed about 300 voters in the court
house Saturday afternoon at the final
meeting of the county campaign. Sen
ator John r. Hart presided and the
audience included perhaps n dozen
women. The crowd listened patiently
to the appeals of candidates for treas
urer, probate Judge and superintend-
ent OF education, but began to grow
restless under the avalanche of ver-
bosity Of the candidates for the house
of representatives and when the last
speaker had concluded there were few
people in the auditorium. Features OF
the meeting were the reading of let
ter from Hon. J. S. Brice in which ne
stated that he had been employed by
Mrs. Lucia Ewart Quinn, a candidate
for treasurer, to bring suit against the
Yorkville Cotton Oil company because
of the death of her husband, the late
Robert Z. Quinn. Mr.. Brice, in his
letter, went on to say that the suit had
not been filed pending certain expect
ed developments. Hon. w. r. Brad
ford a candidate for e-election to the
house of representatives, declared that
he was expecting an eleventh hour at
tack from q certain daily newspaper
because of his attitude on the public
printing contracts. "If it comes L
shall be prepared" declared Mr.. Brad
ford The audience was mighty stingy
with its applause-in fact, there was
none for any Of the candidates.

The Strike.

The most unfortunate thing about
the great railroad strike is the inabil-
ity Of those most deeply concerned to
see how the quarrel between the rail-
roads and their employees is any of
their business.
In the first place, get this, that the
real owners and directors of all the
great railroads in the country are the
mighty banking institutions Ike the
Morgans and others, principally of New
York and the Northeast.
The corporate authorities of all the
great railroads hold their positions by
reason of the choice of the, great finan-
cial institutions which control and vote
the majority of the stock, and are mere
servants to do the bidding of the di-
recting heads of these financial insti-
tutions.
Such an important authority as Hen
ry Ford, the greatest industrial captain
tells you that there is no legitimate
economic reason for this strike.
The interstate commerce commits
sion tells you officially that the earn
ings of the big railroads of the country
during the first six months OF this year
were greater than they have been in
the history of railroading
There was no legitimate excuse for
wanting to reduce the wages Of the
shopmen, and there is every reason to
believe that they were deliberately
taunted into striking.
And for what?
If it had not been for the strike OF
the miners and the strike of the shop
men, both strikes, brought about by the
same influences and for the same rea
sons, what would have been the pres
ent business situation?
Would not cotton be bringing q
better price and would not agricultural
products Of all kinds be in better de-
mand at higher figures?
The result of this strike and tie-up
will necessarily be a Generalization Of
the prices of cotton wheat, cattle and
other agricultural products.
These products will be purchased by
the people who have the money to put
in them, principally the big financiers.
Upon the adjustment Of the strike
prices will so out of sight; but agri-
cultural products of all kinds, having
passed out of the hands of the farmers,
will yield their big profits to the con-
SpiratOrs.
That is the whole situation as we

KILLS THREE BIG SNAKES

Who said there were not plenty of
copperhead or pilot snakes around in
spots just at this time?
Lawson Clark, well known farmer
living on York No. 2, has killed three
in the past week. Whoppers too!
One of them was killed in the wood
pile IN Mr.. Clarks yard, while the
other two were encountered in the
fields.
Last Sunday while Mr., Clark was
looking over a field OF peas he en-
countered the last cOpperhead. 1t was
coming toward him crawling slowly
but it made no attempt to strike him.
In fact, it didn't have Il chance. 1t
was about the size of a mans arm, ac-
cording to Mr.. Clark.
This is the season of the year for
copperheads to make their appearance
according to Mr.. Clark, who has had
considerable experience with all sorts
of snakes. And the story that snakes
-copperhead snakes, go blind during
August and September is true. The
three that he has killed during the past
week We're apparently blind.
But while they may be blind, there's
nothing at all wrong with their hear
ing. Ana lnere nOtHlhS "IOlS Will
their sense OF direction. Get too close
and you'll run a big chance of being
bitten.
Speaking of snakes, Mr.. Clark has
couple of big kingsnaltes in his corn
crib. He has no rats there because
the kingsnakes live on rats. That's
why he has the kingsnakes in the crib.
The kingsnakcs are the most deadly
enemies Of any other kind of snake
and of course rats stand no chance
gainst them. In the spring time when
rats perhaps might get scarce and the
kingsaakcs get hungry, they will oc-
casionally eat baby chickens. But they
arc not bad about chickens.
i've been handling the kings right
along" said Mr.. Clark: but / have
become a little lecry Of them here OF
late. Many a time this year have |
gotten my hands on the lSingsnakes
while in the crib in the dark cropping
with my hands under the corn shucks
for corn that has not been sEuclled. But
now since the season for cOppcrheads
is on. I'm dead sure that IT Is n king
I'm touching before l fool with snakes
for fear that maybe a coppcrhcad has
found his way into the crib and has
escaped the kingsnakes."

f.. Roy Stone, of Greenvillc, 4 poll
tical prognosticator, who has made
some pretty close guesses in the state
elections in other years, published his
forecast of the results of today's cleo
tion in the Grcenville News of Sun
day. Mr.. Stone placed the total vote
of the state at 1S0,S31, of which he
gave Blease G7.S61, and Mcleod G7,-
SGS. He allowed Laney 39,62S; Cantey
3,O16: Coleman 1884; Duncan 1924.
He put Blease and Mcleod in the sec
ond race, with the probable odds in ia
vor of Mcleod something like $4,000.
He predicted the election of Jackson
as lieutenant governor on the first bal
lot, and thought Banks Dove would
win Tor secretary of state in a close
race. Samuel Wolfe is said to have a
cinch on the office of attorney general,

AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM

The Australian ballot system now in
operation for primary elections puts it
up to the voter to vote as he plcascs.
without distraction or suggestion from
outsiders with no possibility Of ballot
box stuffing or other fraud, except in
the subsequent counting.
The voter goes alcne to the man
ayers and receives a ticket containing
the names Of all the candidates.
Attached to the ticket is number
and coupon: perforated in such a
manner as to facilitate easy dctach-
ment.
This ticket the voter takes to a
booth wherein, screened from outside
observation, he scratches the names OF
those candidates for which he does not
desire to vote.
Having prepared his ticket accord
ing to his notion, the voter folds 1t over
so as to conceal the names left thereon
and leaving the numbered coupon eX-
tending beyond the fold.
When the voter returns with the
ticket one of the managers tears off
the coupon and hands it back, where

IF America would cooperate with
Great Britain the two nations could
rule the world" said Lloyd George to
former Governor Cox in London last
Saturday. Yes. that is correct, and if
the United States would cooperate,
Great Britain would rule the world.
Also, the United States could rule the
world with the cooperation Of either
Germany or France. More than that,
the United States, were it so minded,
could well nigh rule the world without
the help of any of them.

Leaders in the science of aviation
are astounded at the wonderful facts
that have been demonstrated by air
plane gliders without the help of mo-
tive power. Germany, forbidden ac-
tivity in the development of war
planes, has been giving the most care
full attention to the subject of glidCrs,
and at soaring flight contest in Gers
field, Germany, participated in by con-
testants from England, France and the
United States. a German contestant
named +. w. HentZen, broke his own
previous record by climbing to a
height of 1,200 feet and remaining in
the air for three hours and six min
utes. He is unable TO explain his sue
cess further than that he managed to
take advantage of air currents that
kept him up. The effect of an engine
Of only five or six horse power added
to the skill of this man, suggests posi-
bilities that appeal to all who are de-
voting themselves to this wonderful
subject.
