to show what a truly feminine and

THE FllBERT MEETING

The Fflbert people are expecting the
usual big crowd at the state campaign
meeting to be held there on August =
and they are making their arrange
ments accordingly.
I'VE appreciate the fact" said Mr..
w. l.. Purslcy, chairman of the COM
mttee of arrangements, yesterday
that this is the first time any York
county town other than the county
seat has ever had the distinction Of
entertaining a regular state campaign
meeting, and we propose to show due
appreciation of that distinction.
"Of course we are going to have n
stand big enough and strong enough to
accommodate the speakers, ind we are
going to have suitable tables and
chairs for the reporters, and we are
going to have suitable convenicnces,
as far as possible for the big attend
ance we are expecting"
All who will are expected to bring
baskets: but it is not expected that
those who bring baskets shall feed the
entire crowd. In that respect the
usual plan will be followed. Those
who bring baskets will group them
selves according to their own prefer
ence, and entertain friends and ac-
quaintanccs as they see proper by
special invitation. taking especial care
Of course TO provide for all the candi-
dates

ALTHOUGH the West road betweer

Although the West road between
Ycrkville and Sharon lacks great
deal of completion, travel is already
beginning to go through that way. In
places the road is cut in deep ruts, OF
course, because as yet there has been
no effort at surfacing. The surfacing
will probably not be commenced for a
month or two yet; but the probability
is that so soon as the section between
Yorkville and the r. B. HartnesS place
Is completed most of the travel be-
tween Yorkville and Sharon will begin
to take that direction.
Nes, there must be q high water
bridge over Bullock's creek. That is
absolutely necessary. The people have
been going all these years without even
a decent road between Sharon and
Hickory Grove. Many an important
errand has been frustrated becIuse Of
high water at a critical time. People
who live on either side Of the creek
tell stories of how they had to wait
until the flood went down before they
could bring a doctor to desperately
sick friends and relatives. Religious
meetings have been hampered because
of that creek. Flood waters in the
stream have been known to change the
result of county election, because of
the inability of voters to get to the
polls Now there are to be two roads
between Sharon and Hickory Grove
the West road being built by the coun-
ty, and the old road being rebuilt by
the township. That the West road
will have high water bridge is to be
taken as q matter of course; but it
will be quite q while before it can be
built That the old road must also
have a high water bridge is to be TAX
en- equally as a matter Of course. The
thing is a crying necessity. The funds
may not be available now; but they
must be provided some how, and with
out any more delay than is absolutely
necessary.

say whether they want to remain in
Spartanburg county or go to Cherokee.

a straight line to a point on Island
creek. about one-half mile from river;
thence up Island creek to what is
known as the old Scruggs' place;
thence in about a straight line to a
point near Lem Green's old store on
the Spartanburg and Cherokee county
line; thence with the Cherokee county
line as now established to the begin
ming point" None of the proposed
lines run within eight miles of any

The Charleston Navy Yard.

Orders have gone forth from Wasn-
ington for the abolition of the Char-
lesion navy yard, and although siren
uous efforts are being made to secure
the revocation of those orders, there
Is reason to fear that they will stand.
The establishment of the Charleston
navy yard was the work of the late
Senator Tillman in the face of the
most violent opposition, which oppo-
sition has not in the least degree di-
minished.
The excuse for the present abolition
order is the worldwide agreement for
naval armament reduction; but as n
matter of fact, the probability is that
this is only an excuse.
Charleston has the best harbor south
of Hampton Roads, and the third best
on the Atlantic seaboard; Hampton
Roads being the best and New York
second best.
But the excellence of Charleston
harbor is of not nearly so much i'm
portance as its logical geographical To-
cation with reference to the commerce
of the Southeast and Northwest. This,
no doubt, was the reason why Senator
Tillman had so much trouble securing
the appropriations for Charleston har-
Dor and for the establishment of the
navy yard, and this is the reason why
the navy yard Is to be abolished not
withstanding the millions that have
been spent in it's development.
The commercial leaders of the
Northeast have long realized that If
railroad traffic should be allowed to
develop along natural lines-the lines
of least Observation-Disclosures would
eventually become the greatest Allan
tic port, and it has been on that ac-
count that all the power and influence
of the commercial leaders have been
used against Charleston and in favor
Of the ports to the northward.
Some of the earlier statesmen like
Calhoun and Robert Y. Hayne, and
later b. R. Tillman, had q clear un-
derstanding Of the situation, and de-
voted their efforts to making Charles
ton to what she has q natural right to
be; but the opposition has always been
greater than they could overcome and
1t seems so yet.
There is perhaps very little present
need for the Charleston navy yard;
but the same might be said with equal
truth about any Of the other yards on
the Atlantic seaboard; and there is
just as much to be said in favor of
retaining the Charleston navy yard
as there is any of the rest of them
But there is this important consid-
GRAFTON in the matter, and that is that
the government navy yard contributes
that much to the possible future de-
velopment of this port along natural
lines and that is something the North
east will never stand for rs long as it
can find any way to prevent.

We are publishing in our advertis-
ing columns today an advertisement
that is richly deserving of space in
this column. We refer to the adver-
tisement of John NJ. Ford and A. {.
Barnett, announcing the bringing in OF
a car load of sheep for sale to the peo-
pie of York county. AS to whether
this is the answer to the boil weevil,
we do not prete nd TO say; but the time
was when sheep raising was profitable
in this section. and with intelligent at
tention we believe ii can he made
profitable again. Anyhow, Messrs.
Ford and Barnett should have no
trouble in the distribution of the ini-
tial car load.

With reference to the weevil situa-
ton, we want to say this: Don't be a
gutter. Gather the punctured squares
from the stalks and pick them from
the ground. Burn them all. Look the
white blooms for young weevils and
destroy them. Cultivate as frequently
as possible. Keep up the fight. Other
sections have continued TO make cot
ton under worse conditions. 1t is hard
work. 1t is harder than the hard work
we have been having. But we are TAX
ing primary lessons now and we must
learn them thoroughly.

Radio broadcasting has nothing on
Lcnoir. y. G.. The air up there is full
of big things. and they are just be-
coming known. Here is the latest; a
$5.OOO,OOO bleaching plant and possibly
dying cotton yarns and cloth is to be
built at Edgcmont. is the report in
circulation there for the past few days.
1t is said that some of the big cotton
mill men of the state are interested in
the project. This information is OBJ
tained from what is considered re-
liable source. Edgemont was selected
because Of its pure and unlimited sup
ply of water. The streams up there
will furnish all the power desired. 1t
has been shown by tests that the
streams there carry no chemicals what
cvel. and there is no chance for the
water supply to ever become depleted.
Dense native forests surround Edge
mont. and the government owns this
forest, and is reforeSting all of its
mountain lands. so that all the water
that falls, falls on government land,
and is thereby preserved by the forest.
1t is. q disconcerting fact that over
100 yarn mills along the Carolina &
North Western railway are shipping
their yarns 70 points in New England
for bleaching. In Lenoir some Of the
mills ship their products to Rhode Is
land for the bleaching process.

The changed complexion of the city
council as the result of the recent
election has again brought to the fore
the question of establishing a park on
tie outskirts of the city. The original
proposition to the city contemplated
the donation of the land, provided the

stipulated expenditure for q given
number of years, the property to re-
vert to the donors, along with the i'm
provements made in the meantime in
case the city fails to live up to its

One of the main issues Of the contro-
versy between the railroads and the
shopmen is whether or not there can
be restoration of pre-war conditions.
In the opinion Of The Yorkville Enqui-
rer this is impossible. The wage earn
er's standard of living has got to be
re-adjusted and it has got to be read
justed on a higher basis. But the re-
adjustment is hardly to be accomplish
ed without a prolonged struggle that
will involve many sacrifices on both
sides.

With reference to the sending OF
troops to guard railroad property, Gov
ernor Morrison says that no troops
commanded by him will infringe on the
rights of any law abiding citizen. That
is right. Where people are disposed to
resort to lawiessness, there is need for
troops; but so long as no mans legal
rights are interfered with. why should
the presence of troops cause objection?

THE PEOPLES MONEY.
. Local Funds Should Be Kept In lo-
cal Banks.


The Yorkville Enquirer wants the
newspapers to "break up that policy
which seeks to concentrate the county
road funds in Columbia banks for the
use of the Columbia banks and peo-
ple," and calls on the candidates for
the legislature in York county to take
up and discuss the question whether
York's part of the auto and gas tax
should be allowed to lie in Columbia
banks. The position of The Enquirer
is well taken. The auto and gas tax
money-except that part which goes
to the state highway commission
should be deposited in the county
banks 1t is n bad policy which con-
centrates public funds in any one
place for the benefit of n few people.

The New York banks loaned the peo-
