King Constantine of Greece, has
been forced to abdicate his throne in
the interest of his son, Prince George.
This is the outcome of the failure of
Constantine's efforts against the Turks
in behalf of the integrity Of the Greek
kingdom. The opposition party, the
party of NencZelos, rose against Con-
stantine, and there was nothing for
first ascended the throne in 1913. He
was forced to abdicate because Of his
pro- German sympathies, and was sue
ceeded by his son Alexander, who
reigned for three stormy years, and
who in 1920 died from the bite Of a
monkey. Constantine was recalled by
plebicite, and although the Allied pow
crs did what they could to prevent his
re-ascension, he marched triumphant
ly into Athens in December, 1920. I'M
mediatcly he undertook a war against
the Turks, with the idea of securing to
the Turks eastern Thrace, Constanti-
nople and certain large provinces of
Asia Minor in which the Greeks pre-
dominated. The war progressed sue
ccssfully enough at first; but as the
result of interference of the Allies and
the Withholding Of assistance the
Turkish Nationalists finally got the
best of it and put the Greeks to rout.

Allied proposals to insure freedom
of the Dardanelles and protection OF
racial and religious minorities in ne
gotiating q permanent peace settle
ment of the Near Eastern crises "are
clearly in accord with American SEN
timent," Secretary Hughes declared on
Tuesday in the first formal assertion
OF American policy toward the Turkish
problem. AT the same time Mr.. Hugh
es took occasion to express the trust
of the Washington government that
arrangements would be made to keep
the straits open and maintain peace
pending the conference to conclude q
final treaty of peace between Turkey,
Greece and the Allies" The statement
was made in reply to question sub
m:tted to Mr. Hughes by the Associat-
cd Press as to the attitude Of the
American government toward the
peace proposals made by the Allies.
His answer was as follows: "The
American government is gratified to
observe that the proposal of the three
Allied governments seek to insure ef-
fectively the liberty of the Darda-
nelles, the Sea of Marmora and the
Bosporus as we'll as protection of the
racial and religious minorities.' These
points are clearly in accord with
American sentiment. This govern
ment also trusts that suitable arrange
ments may be agreed upon in the in
terest of peace to reserve the free
dom of the straits pending the confer
ence to conclude final treaty Of peace
between Turkey and Greece and the
Allies"

Proflteering at the expense of COZ

- Profteering at the expense of con-
sumers is being "camounaged" by
clothing dealers through statements
that the tariff bill will increase prices
of suits and overcoats, Senator Smoot
of Utah, Republican leader and men,
ber OF the senate finance committee de-
clared Wednesday in statement of the
effect of the new wool rates. "The
price Of wooden clothing should be
cheaper in the spring of 1923 and
thereafter" said Senator Smoot.
Statements to the contrary appear to
be camouflage put out to hide an in
tention to proftecr at the expense Of
the consumer or for political purpose,
or both. There is no reason whatever
for any honest, sane person to claim
that the price Of wool clothing will be
higher because of the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff act" If tariff rates af-
feet retail prices, Senator Smoot said,
the new law should reduce rather than
increase clothing prices. He emphasiz-
ed that the wool rates Of the new act
are about half of those in the previous
emergency tariff, and contended that
retail prices therefore should come
down. In fact, he said, manufacturers
of woolen cloths were quoting reduced
prices for the spring Of 1923. Some of
these declaring the tariff would in
crease retail clothing prices, Senator
Smoot added, used "profiteering pyra-
midng" in their accounting, but COM
peting among woolen manufacturers,
he added, would prevent any such
reprehensible greed going on ramp
age"

Owing to unfavorabIe seasons, too
much rain mostly, it is estimated that
the yield of peanuts this year will be
about 1OO,OO0,OOO pounds less than
last year. Prices generally are expect
ed to run little higher this year than
last-from cents a pound for the
poorer grades up to cents for The
best grades.
There has been an advance of some
thing like a cent a pound in the news
print spot market and newspaper pub
fishers are becoming uneasy as to the
immediate future, especially since con-
sumption for the past six months
shows an increase of about IL per cent,
while production has been increased
only q little more than per cent. Spot
dealers are showing a disinclination to
quote prices in carload lots just at this
time and the condition of the whole
sale market is very uncertain.
"Why certainly we mean what we
soy when we promise; that the Big
Castor County Fair will be the best
ever held in North Carolina" said
Fred NJ. Allen, executive secretary,
yesterday. I'VE do not feel as if it is
worth while even to make claims in
that direction. Didn't everybody say
last year that it was the best fair they
had ever seen in either state? I don't
say that. That is what everybody else
said. They told me and they told ev-
erybody. That was the common ver-
dict. Well, we had no end of difficult
ties to contend with last year-almost
os many difficulties as we had the first
year. For instance there was all the
trouble and confusion of moving into
the new grounds, and it was almost
like making new start. But we are
not making any excuses this year and
we are not asking anybody to make
allowances. We've got the goods and
the fair will speak for itself"

sWINNIE DEFEATED PoAG

In a third magisterial4primary elec-
ton held in Ebenezefs township last
Tuesday, J. 3. Swinrie of Newport
defeated the incumbent John r. Poag
of Rock Hill, IA to 96. The recently
nominated magistrate for Ebenezer
was a candidate for the office when it
was made vacant by the death of the
late Thomas B. Glenn some time ago;
but the county legislative delegation
couldn't see him." The third pri-
mary election held Tuesday was the
aftermath of a rather spirited cam
paign; Swinnie being nominated
largely by the voters of residents of
the Aragon- Blue Buckle Mill who
were not pleased with Magistrate
Poag. Following are the official re-
turns from the several precincts in
Ebenezer township participating in
the election:

with Clemson College is one of the
men in this section and the Rock Hill
Highs believe that under his instruc-
ton they should be able to put out one
of the best football teams among high
schools in the state. About thirty high
school lads of Rock Hill are seeking
berths on the varsity squad this year
and according to Coach Logan he has
some promising material with which
to work. The salary Of the coach is
being borne by the school and by pri-
vate subscriptions from football en-
thusiasts of Rock Hill, it is stated.

cd as the result of his privations? The
question answers itself; but when 1t
comes to the question as to how much
tho stay -at-homes should give up or
the soldier should have, as yet there
has been no answer. The injustice OF
il all is appreciated by both and SO
long as injustice exists there is sus~
picion, doubt and resentment But the
cure seems simple. Along with the
soldier let every man and woman be
conscripted for all the aid he or she
can give. Let talent and property go
also against the scale alongside of
willingness to die. And when all have
done their respective parts in the
struggle there can be no after war
settlements to make. The accounts
will have been kept in balance all the
while.

power department to take the place Of
worn out pumping machinery that
has been in use for two decades ar
rived this week and is now being in

the western part Of town. The new
pumping outfit which weighs more
than 10000 pounds is being installed
by City Clerk and Treasurer ]. Frank
of the water, light and power depart
ment and their assistants and the
work Of installation is proving quite a
job. The new machinery will enable

- Several ex-soldiers and American
legion members of Yorliville and vi
cinity contemplate attending the an
nual convention of the American Le-
gion to be held in New Orleans next
month. The convention is to be held
October 1920 and some of the ex-
buddies are figuring that they can
make the trip for SIS and less to the
Louisiana city and then come home
with money in their pockets. A bullet
in issued by state headquarters of the
American Legion requests that all ex-
soldiers expecting to attend the con-
vention notify Department Adjutanl
Miller c. Foster of Spartanburg, not
later than October 1. By notifying
the department adiutant of the inten-
tion to make the trip it is possible that
money will be saved.

Former Premier Venizelos, OF
Greece, has nothing to say for pub
lication in connection with the pres
ent severe troubles of his country.
Venizelos was the great commoner Of
Greece. His sympathies were with the
Allies during the world war, and OF
course he had nothing in common
with the royal family. The royal
family all leaned toward Germany.
Following the first abduction of Con-
stantine Venizelos was restored to
favor; but when the people voted to
recall Constantine, Venizelos was COM
PEELED to leave. He now lives in
France, following Il tour through the
United States. AS yet the revolution
by which Constantine was deposcd
has not affected his status. Greece is
not yet ready to submit to the desires
of the Allies. Nenizelos may eventu-
ally be recalled to Greece; but as to
that there is no certainty. There is
reason to believe, however, that he
is the one man who can do for Greece
that which is best for her under the
circumstances.

They may be able to settle that con-
troversy with the Turks without
war; but just now it is difficult to see
how theySare going to do It. Turkey
and Russia are in alliance. There
seems to be no doubt of that. Neither
Great Britain nor France recognizes
Russia; but Turkey, dependent on
Russia for what she has achieved, Will
insist on Russia being considered.
Heretofore Turkey has stood with
Great Britain and France against Rus-
sia on this question; but this is the
first time that Turkey has been united
with Russia against Great Britain and
France. Japan seems to be looming
up in the thing as an ally of Great
Britain against Russia. 1t is possible
that there may be found way forset
tlement; but the situation is grave
exceedingly grave. 1t looks as if
Great Britain must either yield her
contention to large extent or resort
to war, and Great Britain has not been
in the habit of yielding.

Plow it under-plow it under deep
-plow it with a tractor, is the ag1-
cultural slogan of the hour. 1t is TO
kill the boil weevil, they are saying
now. As to whether it will kill wee
wills, of course, we don't know. There
is no doubt, however, that it Is well
to plow it under. And since the cot
ton should all be off within the next
few weeks, there will be time for the
plowing. Whether it Is cotton next
spring or not, the blowing under is the
thing.

RAID WITHOUT RESULTS

Prohibition officers raided ten alleg-
ed blind tigers in Rock Hill last week;
but the raid did not result in the
capture of single drop of liquor, ac-
cording to one Of the ra;ding officers
who told a reporter for The Yorkville
Enquirer about it yesterday. Among
those raidcd was the place of
business" and the residence of the
alleged Blind Tiger King of Rock
Hill, where not even the odor of liquor
was TO be detected.
According to the officer who told
the story when the raiders approach
cd the King courteously invited
them in and told them to search un-
til they were satisfied. He even went
@ little further and undertook to "kid'
them.
What do you fellows think I am.
anyhow" he is alleged to have said.
DO you think I am, fool enough to
Keep liquor in nay place of business
or in my house when I can get a dozen
fellows and do get a dozen around
here to sell the stuff for me?
You must think [ am u chump,
anyhow. | am not denying that /
handle the stuff. through others but as
TO my having it around here. 1t is to
laugh"
And the officers after searching
them thoroughly went away convinced
that the king" didn't have any stuff
around the premises at that particular
time anyhow.
