Carolina points, with one or two in
Georgia and Alabama. Cannon Manu-

of towels in the world, the company
having n daily output in it's plants of

The peace conference that was
agreed upon at the Mudania parley be-
tween the Turks and Allies, is nov
held 1T Lausanne, Switzerland, and the
diplomats of the world are gravely
concerned at the outcome, some OF
them hoping that it will result in &
final settlement of the many veXcd
questions that are agitating Europe
and the near east, and others fearing
that whatever the immediate results
sooner or later there must be another
general war.
The first concern of the Allies is the
control of Constantinople and the
straits leading from the Mediterranean
to the Black sea, and The second con-
Germ is the safety Of the Christian
populations now under the domination
Of the Turks along with the establish
mcnt of permanent boundaries for the
various Balkan states.
As the result Of the war between
Turkey and Greece, in which the
Greeks have suffered terrific reverscs,
the Turks have revived their national
ism and rc-cstablishcd their govern
ment on Il basis Of strength and power
that has brought them to feel their
ability to assert their complete in
dependence Of the Allies, and they are
insisting on being treated with con-
sidcration that they have not known
for more than a hundred years. Among
other things the Turks are demanding
that the Allies get out Of Constantine
pie rcnouncc the neutral zone es-
tablshcd by the mratficd treaty of
Scvrcs and leave the control Of the
straits TO Turkish authority.
Russia is also tremendously interest
ed because Of the fact that control Of
the straits means the control Of the
foreign commerce Of her Black sea
ports, and with this control in the
hands of hostile interests she is scwcd
up tight with regard to the rest Of the
world. She has a complete under
standing with Turkey in regard to the
matter, ana she considers that her in
tcrcsts are great enough to warrant
her in backing Turkey To the limit.
Tho Allies feel that their continued
control Of the straits along with Con-
stantinopic is vital to their military
and commercial prestige and being as

Senator Truman H. Newberry, VINO
is accused of having bought his cleo
ton in Michigan by corrupt practices
over Henry Ford, has resigned. lie
has been the object of bitter attacks
ever since the manner Of his election
became known. His case was an issue
in the recent general election, several
senators having lost seats because
they hao supported his claims to a
seat. Aad Michigan herself defeated
his colleague, Senator Townsend. AS
the result of the recent reduction OF
the senate majority it became certain
that Ncwberry would be expelled and
hence his resignation.

Among the many things The York
vile Enquirer does not know is what
the price of cotton will be within the
next few months. IN view of the un
questioned shortage of the crop il
looks that if cotton is worth 26 cents
now it ought TO be worth 80 cents or
more next July. There is nothing un-
reasonable about that; but il IS very
we'll TO remember that the spinners
have this thing of cotton values down
to a very fine point and it is not i'm
possible that present prices are due to
the discOunt.ng of probable prices Of
next July. Ordinarily when there is
plenty of cotton the spinners follow a
hand -to-flouth policy. taking care not
to try to buy too far ahead. But this
year many of the spinhers are buying
as far ahead as possible, some OF them
having on hand a fun years supply.
But of course such cases arc the CX-
ception. There is not enough cotton
to supply al the mills, even if all the
mills had the money with which to
carry such supplies, and it would seem
that as long as the present condition
of supply and demand exists prices
should remain strong. But it is very
well to keep in mind the fact that
there are tremendous interests arrlEcd
against too much advance in prices,
and those interests nave often been
able to succeed under circumstances
that seemed impossible. It is n COM
mon saying that cotton is fool" and
there is reason to believe there is
truth in that saying.

bat Clerk of Court McMaCkin received
telegram saying that the judge did
not complete his work in Columbia and
would not be here to open court until
tomorrow.
When the hour for the convcning of

Of the county about the courthouse, CX-

bia. the trip being made by automobile.
The prisoner appeared TO bc in good
health and spirits and was inclined TO
talk more of his sixteen children than
he was about the trial for his life

Hon. j. Monroe Spears, solicitor for
the Fourth judicial circuit, is repre-
senting the state in the court of gener-
al sessions this week, having been Sc
lected by Solicitor Henryfwith the APP
prevail of the attorney general. In
spite Of his recent injuries to his leg
on account OF having been run over by
ar automobile, Mr.. Henry had con-
tinued his purpose 70 come on duty as
usual; but as the attending physician
would not hear to such Il thing, he
r,i dc other arrangements, selecting rs
his substitute, his old friend and coll
league Mr.. Spears. Mr.. Spcars is the
oldest solicitor in,.the state, next 10
Mr.. Henry, having been in the service
for eighteen years. Originally he was
appointed to the place by Governor
Hayward, on the deathbed request OF
his predecessor, the late lamentcd j.
Monroe Johnson. He had an opponent
at the next election; but since then he
has held the place without opposition
and from the standpoint of character
ability, courage and discretion, it is
commonly conceded that as q prose-
cutting officer he is without superior
in the state. Like Mr. Henry, he keeps
in continuous close touch with law and
order conditions in his circuit, and he
never takes up a Capital case until he
is as thoroughly informed as possible
of all the inside facts. His home is in
Darlington, from which place he drove
through to Yorlivillc last Sunday in
his car. The distance is 115 miles.

The drafted bill did not fully meet the
ideas of what the American charge
thought it should be and he made re-
spcctful suggestions as to desirable
changes. This caused the explosion.
The NIcXicans claim that the Ameri-
cans are trying to dictate to them, and
President ObregOn made public an
nouncement that he would stand for
nothing of the kind. The state depart
ment at Washington. denies thai it
has undertaken to dictate or even butt
