REDUCING THE TAXES-If people are willing
to get along with the poorer roads and schools and
unsatisfactory public service, they can get their
local taxes down. If the same efficiency is man
tested in public business that you expect in an
up to date corporation probably most cities could
cut their expenses somewhat
Federal taxes however are even more difficult

About June 10th it is the intention,
OF the Jefferson County Truck Grow

SUNDAY IN ROCK HILL

Billy Sunday, noted evangelist
preached to more than 1000 people OF
Rock Hill and York county in the
great auditorium in Winthrop College
Yesterday afternoon. Not only was
every seat in the main auditorium
taken but the balcony was full; the
stage was full and people lined the
aisles. Scores of others stood in the
doors anxious to get glimpse Of the
most noted preacher in America and
to catch a few of his words that came
with the rapidity of q machine gun.
Most of the audience was composed Of
people who had never heard him be-
fore and they went away greatly i'm
pressed not only with the man but
with the message that he brought to
them. 1t was stirring plea that he
made to men and women to take Jesus
Christ on faith because faith in Him
wac the only thing in the world that
could satisfy the soul of man.
1t was an audience composed OF
people in all walks of life. Rich men
lneH were lIeIc. oOillC VI
the best known leaders in the county
were there and there were scores of
people present who had never been
noted for any special interest or zeal
that they had shown in religious mat
tcrS. But all were deeply impressed.
The actions of the man while deliver
ing his sermon impressed them. That
never failing, rapid fire delivery i'm
pressed the audience. His evident sin
cerity and carnestness and zeal in es-
pousing the cause of his Master i'm
pressed them.
The speaker carried his hearers
from humor to- pathos from situations
most ludicrous to positions most
grave One minute that big audience
was made to laugh fit to Kill. The
next minute those hundreds of men
and women were in the most sober
ard sombcr mood.
He held the closest attention of
every man and woman and child
throughout. The entire service lasted
more than an hour and half and
Sunday spoke for an hour. 1t didn't
seem half that long. Nobody appear
&c the least bit tired and the crowd
would have been delighted had he
preached three times as lorg as he !
did. That however was impossible |
because he had to leave at 4:30 in or
der to be back in Spartarburg.
Rev. Sunday preached twice in Rock |
fIill-the first service at 1850 o'clock
morning being addressed to
he students of Winthrop College only.
That service started about thrce-quar-
.ers Of an hour after the arrival Of the |

Supnression of Progress.

When the Allied high commission re-
Gently inspected the last word in Ger
man aviation-an all metal airplane
driven by four powerful engines and
capable of carrying fifty passengers
half way around the world, it Is said to
have ordered the immediate demolition
of this marvellous development and the
destruction of the plans on which 1t
was made.
There is d story that during the days
of the Roman empire, a subject
brought to the emperor evidence that
he had discovered malleable glass. The
article presented was beautifully
wrought goblet, which before the eyes
OF the emperor was beaten into various
shapes with a hammer, and then re-
stored to its original form. On 'ascer-
tanning from the inventor that he alone
was cognizant of the wonderful secret
involved, the emperor ordered the COB
let to be destroyed by being burned to
nothing and the inventor put to death.
He argued that with a substance SO
cheap as glass being made as valuable
as gold, gold would be useless. -
Upon the sacking Of Alexandria by
the Mohammedans, the representative
of the prophet was asked as to what
disposition should be made Of the then
greatest library that had ever existed
in the world. "If these books do not
agree with the Koran" he ordered,
they should be destroyed and if they
do agree with the Koran, they are un-
necessary" $50 e
OF course it is easily understood
why the Germans should not be allow
ed the possession of powerful guns,
ships, airplanes, airships or other
means of war No possible present or
future rival of Germany could be eX-
pected. to leave with Germany the
means by which Germany could gain
military mastery. That is too much to
expect of any people now or hereafter.
If the story OF the development Of
that perfect airplane and it's destruc-
tion is true, why? The same genius
that produced the original model can
produce another like it, and even
though it would not do to allow the
possession Of such wonder with Ger

WITH THE SUNDAY PARTY

That Billy Sunday trip to Rock
Hill Yesterday had it's initiative with
Miss Marie Fewcll, the ever wide
awake secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce. She figured that a visit
from Sunday would be worth while
to all who could avail themselves OF
the opportunity to participate, and
bt sing her operations on the assured
cooperation of DR.. Johnson and the
lure of Winthrop, she got busy Ac-
uuaintance with Mr.. Rodeheayer, who
had directed music at winthrop dur
ing q summer school term two years
ago was a good starting point, and the
rest was quite easy. Asked yesterday
how she had financed the undertaking,
the special Pullman and all that, MISS
Fewcll said: "Well of course we gen.
orally know what we are doing in
matter like this before we begin: but
just how we will wind up the business
has not been definitely decided yet.
We had the Chamber of Commerce to
rely on in the first place. In the sec
ond place DR.. Johnson promised us
more than what would be right to eX-
pect of him and in the third place. l
am sure | can take q subscription
all the money that will be needed.
The advantage of tsuch an opportum
ty as the visit of the Sunday party az
fords our people fOr service leaves no
occasion for concern as to how the eX-
penses are to be taken care Of.
The Sunday party came to Rock Hill
in a special Pullman procured through
the efforts OF Secretary Fcwe!l, OF the
Rock Hill Chamber OF Commerce. The
party included Rev. and Mrs. Sunday,
Homer R0deheaver, Dr. and Mrs. w. IL.

The Yorkville Enquirer is unable to
find a single objection to the co-opera-
tive marketing proposition now being
presented to the farmers Of South
Carolina. AS we. understand it, the
association does not seek to make pro-
fit for itself; but only to benefit its
members; that it has TO capital stock
but nevertheless it will be able to find
money for cotton owning members
through the war finance corporation.
A member who signs up with the as
sociation is bound hand and foot to
abide by the Judgment and discretion
of the association and this is as II
should be. II members were allowed
to do as they please. there could be no
benefits from united action. Unless
signatures can be obtained by May
representing 100000 bales, the whole
agreement is off; signers being free to
do as they please. If, however as many
as 100000 bales can be bought in South

alton will be able to achieve its object

very uncomfortably felt by the ad-
there is no question, and
the cry of class activity in connection
with it's efforts is growing quite fami-
liar. But why not the agricultural
bloc? Has not the legislation Of the
country heretofore been dominated by
the financial and Industrial blocs. Has
the whole thing not been so managed
as to swell the earnings Of the specu-
lator and the manufacturer from the
toll Of the farmer? And while this has
been going on we lave been told that
what was good for the manufactures
and the financier was good for the
farmer. Let's try it the other way for
a while. Let's see if something speci-
fic cannot be done for the farmer

materially as some Of the others have

class legislation may, be involved but
the idea of rotation Of benefits
among the classes at least has

Since South Carolina has awakened
to the fact that she has been raising
about 80 per cent. of her. revenue from
visible property, it looks like the legis-
lature is running to the other extreme
in an effort to raise about twice as
much more revenue from invisible
property. Indeed it looks as If she is
going to raise so much money for
governmental purposes that she will
leave precious little for private pur-
poses.

The readers Of The Yorkvillc En-

that this paper has never at any time
sought to encourage the production of
cotton except as a surplus. While We
have always conceded cotton as a
money crop or a ready money crop, we
have never believed that it could be
profitably produced as straight busi-
ness proposition. People who raised
everything else hey required for home
have been able to get a
little ready money out of cotton, which
money has been of real use TO them,
