Owners Of automobiles who have not
yet procured their 1922 license tags
should be warned of the fact that the
sheriff and police are on the lookout for
them. Also all the constables. This
thing of allowing some to drive without
licenses, while others have to pay will
not be tolerated.
Mr.. Meek Smith of Glover, was in
Yorkville Saturday morning and he
said that when he, left the dollar day
business was going fine; that in the
early morning there was q tremendous
crowd around the store Of M. L. Ford
& Sons, and it looked as if they might
almost tear tie house down before the
time of opening the store.
It is going to take bridge that will
cost about $4,000 ITO get across Bull
locks creek on the'IVest road between
Hickory Grove apd Sharon, and the
legislative delegation proposes to add
an extra mill to the county levy to
take care Of 1T. ThiS crossing is one
Of the most important in the county,
and in wet weather it is one Of the
meanest. The proposed bridge has been
needed more thaa s15.doO worth for
over hundred years. 20

One of the things that keeps a man
from putting out fruit trees on his
place, is a feeling Of dissatisfaction
with the farm and a hope that he is
soon to evolute into something better
Why put out fruit trees when 1 will be
gone before they begin to bear fruit ?
Those who take this view are afflicted
with narrow vision. They should re-
member in the first place that the fruit
they are now eating is from trees
planted by others. In the second place
they should be able to realize that all
they are able to do for the betterment
of the places they are now on will con-
tribute just that much to the higher
advancement for which they are look
ing. But more than all this, they
should have the vision to see that in
many cases it lies in their power to
make what they have great deal more
than they can hope to secure otherwise.
Certainly people should plant fruit
trees, and look after them. e.

Why Not Peanuts?

The Yorkville Enquirer is not going
to tell the farmers Of York county
that there is a quick and easy fortune
in raising peanuts, because it cannot
see anything of the kind; but it feels
sure that it is worth while for the far
mers Of York county to experiment
extensively with peanuts.
Peanuts will grow almost anywhere
any other crop will grow; but they
produce to best advantage on light
sandy soils, of which we have several
thousands of acres in York county.
The largest bodies of sandy lands
especially suitable for peanuts, include
about twelve square miles, beginning
at Glover, extending east three miles,
north to the state line, and south al
most to Allison creek. This is gener-
ally good land and adaptable for any
crop; but especially suitable for pea
nuts. Another body, including about
eight square miles, extends from Less
lie south to the Chester line, and still
another body of about the Same size
extends west from Filbert up toward
Bethany and takes in a broad area to
the west of the Kings Mountain road.
All of this lend is suitable for pin
ders, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes
and truck Of all kinds.
Peanuts are easily produced and
they can be used to splendid advant-
age in feeding cattle, hogs, chickens
and every other living thing.
As we see it there is no danger in
raising any quantity of peanuts, be-
cause no matter how many Of them q
farmer might produce, he will find but
little difficulty in converting therl into
substantial value. Good commercial
peanuts can always be sold, either to
the candy manufacturers or to the
oil mills, and if the peanuts are Of in
ferior quality they can still be fed to
cattle, hogs and chickens

We have no sympathy with the sal
ary reduction bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Clinkscales last Friday. We
may have some state officers who are
not worth the salaries they are receiv-
ing; but where that is the case, they
are worth nothing at all. Salary re-
duction means but little saving to the
taxpayer. In fact it means no saving
at all Officials should receive fair sal
aries. The man who is willing to serve
without pay is generally more eXpen-
sive than the man who demands full
pay. He is usually man to whom Of
flee is the very breath Of the nostrils;
but who at the same time is disposed to
excuse incompetency and other short
comings on the ground that he is serv-
ing without pay The taxpayers do
themselves injustice by clamoring for
salary reduction. They should remem-
Der that the more public official does

Just before adjournment for the
week Friday afternoon, the Legislature
received a bill from Representative T.
l.. C!inkscales of Anderson, to cut the
salaries Of the state officers and MEM
bers of the general assembly. Tie bill
would cut salaries of legislators from
$400 to $500. The salaries of state Of
ficers would be reduced as follows:
Governor $4,000 to $4,000, lieutenant
governor from $3.50 to $3.50, and salaries
of comptroller general, state treasurer,
secretary of state, superintendent of
education, railroad commissioners,
commissioners of agriculture and in
surance commissioner from $4,000 10
$4,000. 1t is estimated that such cuts if
enacted into law would effect only an
unnOticeable saving. . ..

All the facts have not yet come out
in connection with the killing Of that
motion picture director, William D.
Taylor, in Los Angeles; but there has
come out enough to leave but little
doubt that Taylor got about what was
coming to him, and as to whether the
law is going. to get what it ought to
get remains to be seen. That Taylor
was a serious menace to any social
order that is based on ordinary de-
cency there is very little question. He
was in a position where on account of
the money he controlled and more es-
pecially on. account of the opportuni-
ties for fame and advancement that
were to be obtained through him, he
could offer tremendous temptations to
women and girls who put possible
careers above every consideration of
virtue, honesty and truth, and all the
developed facts indicate that his posi-
tion and power were used. principally
in that direction. There are stories of
wild orgies: of lewd dissipation parti-
cipated by the women and girls who
sought his favor, and it would seem
that it was difficult indeed If not i'm
possible for any respectable woman. to
remain within the atmosphere OF his
creation and remain respectable. That
murder should be. the, outcome Of. such
conditions is only natural and there. is
treason for speculation as to whether
Taylor himself has been the first and
only victim. 1t Is possible, even prob
liable that there have, been other trag-
edies in the same connection. But the
situation has developed fears Of The
existence Of other dangers still more
threatening than the killing OF one OF
two people. That the pictures in which
the different female stars have figured
under the direction Of Taylor repre-
sent millions Of dollars worth OF
property value, which value can easily
be queered If not entirely eliminated
through publicity Of the real charac-
ters of these people is easily within the
comprehension of the public. Through
the newspaper men that have been sent
to Los Angeles in connection with. this
miserable affair, comes the almost
verified suggestion that the moving
picture world is bringing to bear all its
tremendous power, financial and other
wise to suppress the truth-to prevent
disclosure of the miserable facts so as
to preserve the value of their invest
ments. Such things have been done In
the past; but whether it will be done
again Is for the immediate future to
determine. The punishment of the
miserable man or woman who killed
Taylor may be of no particular irl-
portance in itself; but the matter OF
whether the law may be thus trampled
or ignored is of tremendous import
ance.

Now that the United States COVER

Now that the United States govern
ment is pledged TO the. scrappingr Of
many of it's warships and the discon-
tinuance of activities in this particular
direction, it is hoped that the energies
thus diverted will be turned to the
building and development of a mer-
chant marine That is what this coun-
try needs more than anything else, and
it can be developed at much less ex-
pense than was required for the build
ing Of naval ships.

The British government is expert

The British government is expert
encing very considerable annoyance
because OF the activities of an agitator
named Mahatma. Gandhi, who is or
ganizing the people Of India for revolt
on what is called q non-cooperative
scheme. The British method of gov
erning India has all along been through
the use of the native governing class
es, and Gandhis scheme is to have the
natives stand as far as possible aloof
from the government on the theory
and in the belief that the British will
not be able to get along without native
help. Also Gandhi is teaching the peo-
pie to wear'a few clothes as possible
and to otherwise boycott everything
British. The movement has long since
reached threatening proportions; but
the British government is ticking steps
to circumvent Gandhi wherever possi-
