Peanuts.

While The Yorkville Enquirer hopes
to see widespread emulation of the 2X-
periment of the Glover Peanut Grow
ers' association in the raising of pea
nuts. it hopes that no individual and no
section will go wild on the subject.
Upon the first appearance of the boil
wcevil i'm the lower part of the state
the people of Collcton Beaufort, Jas
pcr and other counties went hcadiOng
into peanut growing. At planting tine
a good quality Of peanuts was worth
in the Virginia markets $l2O ion.
Many of the farmers planted 80 to 10
acres each and they made bumper
crops; but owing to the state OF the
market at harvesting time peanuts
were not salable at all.
There were. no oil mills in that i'm
mediate section arfording a market for
peanuts; hogs and cattle We're scarce
and the crops rotted in the fields in
great piles.
These conditions may come again and
then they may not; but at any rate IT
is well TO handle the matter conserv-
atively.
In the first place no. farmer should
put all he has into peanuts, and in the
second place, he should be prepared in
case the crop is not salable at a salts
factory price 10 feed it to hogs ana
cattle. To do this proGtably he must
have a reasonable number of hogs and
cattle on hand TO take care of his sur
plus.
Tie best way to handle peanuts, it
seems TO US. is to look after the pro-
curing of the necessary livestock. Then
Iplant with reference to tha livestock
rather than the market; but taking
care TO produce rather more than less
! than the livestock can use. This will
ensure the saving of most of the pea
nuts whether they shall be salablc or
not.
Then also peanut oil is marketable
at a good price and as the supply OF
cotton seed is diminishing each year
the mills will gladly look to peanuts
with which to supply the deficiency.
BY all means let us raise peanuts;
lots of them but don't let US take any
chances of having them rot on our
hands.

ROCK HILL DISQUALIFIED.

The Bear Cats" OF Rock Hill High
school will not be allowed to play Gaff-
ncy or Thornwcll Orphanagc for the
upstate football championship. AL
though the Bear Cats" won more
games than any other school in the Ca
tawba Athletic association, they were
disqualified by the football committee
of the State High School Athletic as
sociatiOn at a meeting held Friday and
Saturday. The reason for it all was
that it was proved that Rock Hill peo-
pie had paid the beard of Douglas
Minis, star player Of the Rock Hill
team. which practice is contrary to the
rules of the association. Under the
ruling last Saturday Fort Mill wins the
championship of the Catawba associa-
ton and has the privilege Of playing
Gaffncy. The winner Of this game may
play ThornwclI Orphanage for the up

TO cLuBMAKERs.

The Yorltville Enquirer desires to
ask its friends, the clubmakcrs, to rush
the work of returning names as rapid
ly as possible.
This is espcciallh desirable in order
to give those who have charge of the
subscription books and mailing lists
plenty of time in which to get things
in shape along without being subject
to too heavy rush right at the begin
ming of next year.
SO far during the past two weeks
more than 500 names have been re-
turned and we do not hesitate to say
that that is doing fine as compared
with all past experience; but there are
still something like $500 names to be
taken care of and to get it done by tho
end of the year calls for prompt action.
We will very much appreciate 1t IN
the ciubmakcrs will push their work as
rapidly as possible.

The Lausanne conference between
the Allied powers and the Turks has
been slowed up because of the deter

the right Of the Turks to make their
own tariff laws. BY capitulations is
meant the privileges Of foreigners in
Turkey charged with violation Of Turk
ish laws to be tried by their own courts
instead of Turkish courts, and the tar
if question involves the insistence Of
foreigners that Turkey must not be al
lowed to levy exceeding II per cent on
imports, while Turkey insists on the
right to make her tariff taxes whatever
she sees proper to make them. The
Turks hold that if foreigners are not
willing TO submit to Turkish laws

All the Allied powers, including the
United States, are holding to the view
that foreigners cannot afford to submit

no connection with religion. AS to the
tariff question, the Turks insist that

Attorney General Daughcrty has
made public his reply to the impeach-
mcnt charges filed against him with the
house judiciary committee by Repre-
sentative Keller Republican, Of Mime
sofa. Answering in turn each of the ii
specifications included in the charges,
Mr. Daugherty says that the purpose o.
the impeachment proceedings is OBJ
viously to protect certain grafters and
profiteers who have defrauded their
government by seeking to discredit the
attorney general and also by trying to
force the government to disclose GER
tain evidence and information on which
it is relying to convict these grafters
and profiteers. He makes light of the
various charges that have been brought
against him, and expresses confidence
that he will be able to vindicate him
self in all the specifications that have
been alleged against his office.
