throughcnt the p, county with young
men Of early acquaintance. In this
connection it is stated that q girl OF
about II years of age was apprehcnded
on g rural highway near midnight In
tie early part of last week in the
company of man several years her
senior. They were brought into the
city by Jim Paxton, rural policeman
and ordered to appear before Magis-
trate Stokes at 9 o'clock the next
morning. When they appeared In ans
wer to the charge Of disorderly con-
duct on a public highway they gave
assumed names to the magistrate,
which was found out after the man
had gone to a lawyers office to secure
legal advice in fighting the charge.
The lawyer, when he entered the court,
read the warrants and admitted that
the names given by the two were false.
This incident incensed Squire Stokes
to a considerable extent, particularly
since the name given by the girl was
that of O. married woman Of Charlotte
who would have suffered ill repute by
connection with such case. The man
wao found to be married and the faith
er of three children. Magistrate
Stokes bound them over for their ap-
perrance in superior court under $10Q
bonds,

MILLER SCHOOL STANDS

The tenant house on the premises of
c. A. Dellinger of York No. 4, loaned to
Miller School District No. 48 for school
purposes since the third school build
ing was burned last Friday still stands
and the community fire bug has as yet
made no effort to burn it so far as the
authorities know. Still there is not the
slightest clue to the identity Of the
persons who have burnt three buildings
used for school purposes within the
past three months.
Burning Of the school buildings con-
tinues to be the chief topic of CONVEX
sation in the school district and in the
community surrounding and people are
greatly incensed over the matter. IF
we can locate the person or persons
who have burned those school houses,
it is trouble for him." said man yes
terday mo fire fiend Is going to pre-
vent thirty or more school children
from going to school in Miller district
and that Is all there Is to It,"
But the citizen who talked had no
evidence tending. to incriminate any
one. Inquiry Of police officers and
school authorities drew the informa-
ton that they are about as much at
sea as they have ever been.
While the trustees Of the district and
other school officials appreciate the
generosity of Mr.. Dellinger in lending
his building for school purposes and
running the risk of having it burned,
it is said that the building is not very
suitable because of the fact that 1t Is
not centrally located. There has been
some talk of buying tent and locat-
| ing ii on the site of the building burned
last Friday; the only draw back to the
plan being that 1t Is feared a tent
would not provide sufficient light.

Rice and Flinders.

In our column Of Views and Inter-
views today we are printing a rather
vigorous letter from our friend, James
Henry Rice. Jr., on the subject OF pin
dcrs and other things.
1t was a. private letter, not intended
especially for publication, but as oul
friend Rice does not generally say any
thing in private that he is unwilling to
make public from the housetops, we
have no hesitation in giving the letter
to the public.
OF course The Yorkville Enquirer has
not undertaken to guarantee fortunes in
the planting Of peanuts; we have not
told anybody that pinders planted in
the spring will insure a crop of green
backs in the fall.
Unless it is tobacco, there Is no 9TH
er crop as easily converted into money
as cotton; but most farmers are willing
to agree to the proposition that 1t Is al
most as difficult to sell crop OF cot
ton as it is TO make it, and this is even
more pronounced with reference to
peanuts.
There is no established market
in this section for peanuts, and If
our people go extensively into peanuts
they are not going to be able to market
them satisfactorily without a great
deal of preliminary intelligent organi-
zation in that direction.
1t may be true that hogs fed and fat
tened on peanuts are not fit to eat or
to sell. In fact we are more than will
ing to take Mr.. Rice's word for that,
for he is an acknowledged authority on
whatever he sees proper to speak about
But everybody knows that a few weeks
of good, sound corn will make good
pork Of any hog, regardless of what 1t
had been raised on previously. And
then again, hogs are sold by weight,
with few questions asked anyway,
whether in the local or general market.
AS we see it, it will be sensible
thing for the people to experiment with
peanuts, along with other things. Of
course we would not suggest that just
any and everybody should plant great
fields Of peanuts, until they have some
idea as to what they can do with them.
But peanuts are good for feeding all
kinds of livestock and also peanuts
yield a most excellent oil that is avail
able for many and varied purposes.
And this we are going to guarantee:
For every man who raises a crop OF
peanuts for which he gets no return
we will show from three to dozen
who have had the same experience with
cotton.

There has grown up a big difference
between the British Federation of
Transport Workers and the British
brewers on account of the high price
charged for beer compared with prices
prevailing before the war. The work.
men have been protesting that the
price Of beer is extortionate; but the
brewers remain obdurate, and the
workmen have called boycott Of beer.
The boycott went into effect last Mon
day. The brewers are laughing at it,
claiming that the workmen cannot con-
troll their appetites sufficiently to make
an appreciable dent in consumption. 1t
will have to be admitted that the odds
are against the workmen. They hardly
stand the ghost of a show; but If they
should manage to control themselves
in the matter and whip the brewers, it
is safe to predict that never again will
anybody else dare to oppose them in
any reasonable demand. The teaching
of the ages has been that he who is
able to restrain his sensual temp
tations for principles sake is invinci-
BILE. But on the other hand until Brit
ish labor does get to where 1t can keep
sober in spite of free flowing alcohol it
will never become really powerful.

at is a rafting good road we have
between Hickory Grove and Smyrna
now," said Mr.. John K. Allison, Of
Hickory Grove yesterday. 1--WE could
not break any speed limits over that
way before the completion Of the road,
il we had wanted to, but I guess we
will need watching now. And If we
don't speak to you when we pass, don't
hold it against us. To have road
like that when we have never had any
thing before is calculated to make any
body proud. You will have to give us
little time to get used to it."
"Pork raised on peanuts is not any
thing like equal to corn fed pork said
C. F. Sherer, former proprietor of the
City Market, yesterday. Il used to
have q customer who sold me such
pork. You could not see the difference,
of course, until the hog went to the
cutting block. Then you noticed that
the meat was soft and fabby and 1t was
not as desirable as corn fed pork. But
while this is true, neither the whole
saler nor the retailer concerns himself
about anything except the condition
and the weight of the hog. 1t is SO
much a pound for either. But this is
also true. No matter what q hog may
have been raised on, even to the offal
of the butcher pen, feed him on corn
for from a month to six weeks before
killing, and the difference is not to be
discovered"

OF course we would not state as a
fact that which we cannot prove; but
nevertheless in view of political condi-
tions as they exist in the state, the
resignation of Senator Christensen as
chairman Of the senate finance COM
mittee suggests a possible frame-up
with reference to next summers poll
tical campaign. Mr.. Christensen is a
conspicuous leader of the dominant
political faction; strongly backed by the
Columbia State crowd, and regarded
by many as the best bet of that faction
for the gubernatorial nomination. That
he is a man of great ability and wide
political experience there is no ques-
ton and that he and Cole Blease have
long been political rivals between whom
reconciliation is logically impossible, is
known of all men. Neither has ever
lost an opportunity to strike at the
other. But Christensen's county Beau

the comments of the Gazette is that

similar misfortune. In this connection
we are reminded of story told by the
late DIR. Robert Latham, the first school
commissioner of York county, after
reconstruction. A candidate for per-
mission to teach a public school came
to him after the examinations hac
closed, and with excuses for why he
had not been present sought to be, per-

One of the most miserable indiyid-
uals in the world is the man or woman
who puts in or her time carrying false
yarns and making people miserable by
breaking up friendships. There are
not many such people and for this all
should be thankful. Only two or three
in a community can do enough harm
for q multitude. While of course all
who are afflicted with this terrible dis
position sooner or later ceme to grief
by losing the confidence and respect of
all who come to know them, the harm
they may have done in the meantime is
rarely ever corrected.

cap in the gubernatorial race. To be
successful from that section a candi-
date must have an issue that will over
shadow his sectionalism, and this

stunt. From what some Of the sena-

difficult to avoid speculation as to the
