PEANUT OIL

Talked to Harry Neil a few days ago
on the subject as to whether or not the
Yorkville Cotton Oil Mill could handle
York county peanuts in case the farm
ers raise a surplus.
Mr.. Neil, as those who know him
best very we'll understand, rs very
guarded about expressing himself on
subject he does not thoroughly under
stand. He has given some little con-
sideration to the peanut oil proposition
indirectly rather than directly. That
is he has studied peanuts more as a
competitor of cotton oil than with the
idea Of making peanut oil.
"Yes, we can make peanut OIL he
said. at would require certain changes
in our machinery but still we can make
it.
"But frankly" no continued, 81 don't
think we would be able to compete
with the candy manufacturers or the
peanut parchers in the price we could
pay for peanuts. That's my informa-
ton now.
THE peanut yields valuable food
oil, which sells for a somewhat higher
price than cotton seed oil; but the de-
mand for peanut meal is not so eXten-
sive as for cotton seed meal and hulls,
and the price is not so good"

that means an appreciable relief to the
forces that usually, have so much book
and mechanical work to do within
few days after the beginning of the
year. But still there are many names
to be returned and we hope that club
makers will keep doing as hard as they
can.
Among the treats The Yorkvillc En-
uuirer has i'm store for it's readers next
year is n history of the campaigns of
the Seventeenth regiment of South
Carolina volunteers during the Civil
War, from the time it was mustered
into service until paroled at Appomat-
tox. This story will be told by Mr..
Sam B. Latham, of Chester, who was Il
member Of this famous regiment, and
who is we'll qualified to tell the story,
Notwithstanding the more than eighty
years that have passed over his vener-
able head. The regiment was made up
principally from York, Chester and
Fairfield counties, including four COM
panies from York and the story will be
of interest to all of our readers, moro
especially the descendants of the
heroes of the old Seventeenth. The
first installment is promised for Janu-
ary.

1t is the common belief that agricul-
tural operations will he pushed with
county next year than was the case
during the year just closed. 1t is to be
understood of course, that there are no
reflections on the activities of those
fleCtiOns on the activities Of those
who have been engaged in this work
during the present year. On the con-
trary they are to be commended for
high and faithful service. There was
lots of generalization last spring, and
considerable "cOld feet" especially on
the part of people engaged in furnish
ing supplies. Because of the boil
wcevil the situation was too uncer-
tain to encourage the accustomed
risks Of heretofore. and they are not
to be blamed. But many men who
owned the land and had the means
made the venture as usual, and to
large extent they have demonstrated
what can be done. At least they have
thrown light on the subject, and the
supply men have a better idea of
possibilities and probabilities. We
are not, Of course, to expect any i'm
mediate return to the thoughtlcss, hap
hazard speculation that has heretofore
been so general; but the probability
is-in fact it is almost Certain-that
agricultural operations next year will
be more extensive than they have
been this year.

- Columbia State Wednesday,: An
appeal will be taken from the refusal
Of Judge Maulcin to grant a writ of
inquiry in order that Ira Harrison
might be examined as to his sanity
and this will automatically stay the
death sentence against Harrison, ac-
ccrding to B. B. Evans, attorney for
the condemned man. Mr.. Evans said
yesterday he would appeal to the state
supreme court and have the case re-
viewed as to the refusal Of Judge
Mauldin to grant an order directing
that Harrison be examined. This ap-
peal is allowed hy law and will pre-
vent the death sentence from being
inflicted, Mr.. Evans said. The attor-
ney said he could appeal on a number
of grounds, from the refusal to grant
q writ of inquiry and the final judg-
ment. Yesterday his client, Harrison,
lay upon his cot in the penitentiary
hospital seemingly lost to all actions
about him. When seen in the after
noon Harrison was absolutely still,
with the exception of regular breath
ing. Attaches in the hospital and
prisoners said Harrison had not moved
during the day. However, it was said
by some that he had talked a little
since he was returned.

is on the verge. of collapse, and that
there is no money even to buy food to
keep the people from starving.
Bonnar Law the British prime minis
ter frankly told the house of commons
Yesterday that the collapse of Germany
would further accentuatc the distress
of Great Britain, as there is no hope
for the country except through indus
trial revival. He went on also to take
back his recent reputation of the Bal
four proposition that Great Britain is
ready for a general cancellation Of all
allied debts excepr her own debt to the
United States which she proposes to
pay in full.
On behalf of twenty-one members,
Representative Newton, Republican OF
Massachusetts yesterday introduced a
resolution providing for the appropria-
ton of $4,000, 900 to be expended by
the American Red Cross for the relief
of starvation in Germany and Austria.
Ismet Pasha is reported as having
abandoned his heretofore unyielding
attitude as to consideration for the
Christian minortics in Turkey and
signfied his willingness to bring Tur-
key into the league Of nations which
will afford proper guarantees for sub
iects of Christian races.

- Finding serious error in Judge D..
Bis Rays instructions to the jury, the
North Carolina supreme court on
Wednesday orderG a Lew trial in the
case of o. G.. (Red) Thomas, Charlotte
automobile man, convicted in Cabarrus
superior court last January Of the
murder of Arthur j. Allen, of Kan
napolis, and sentenced to Is years in
the states prison. Owing to Judge
Rays failure to properly instruct on
the degrees of murder the jury was
left to conjecture, and it may have
concluded, very reasonably, that in the
absence of such malice rs is essential
to make a homicide murder in the
first degree every killing of a human
being is murder in the second de-
gree" Justice w. ]. Adams points out
in writing the courts opinion. He
goes fully into details surrounding
Judge Rays error, and sets forth the
distinction in murder degrees while
pleading seif-defense. Thomas was
convicted of second degree murder.
The supreme courts opinion charges
the trial judge with having so in
structed the jury that, even in the
face of circumstances that may have
caused the defendant to act in what he
believed to be self-defense, it was un-
able to return a verdict other than
second degree. In his instructions to
the jury, Judge Ray omitted the possi-
bility Of the defendant having fired the
fatal shot in apprehension Of death or
great bodily harm at the hands Of
Allen, Justice Adams holds.

the past few days and seems to be
mounting again to the highest point OF
the season.
The government cotton crop estimate
issued last Tuesday, the last estimate

future market firmed up n little on
this estimate, although the majority
opinion seemed to be that 1t would be
slightly lower ...

About the only way to get a state
system of roads is to build it, and the
only way to raise the money is by the
issuance of bonds. Those facts are OBJ
vious. We need state system of
roads and there is absolutely no other
development to which the people of the
state can donate. their energies that
will be more worth while. OF course
there wilr be loom for all kinds of
quarrels as to where the roads will so
by whose front yards ctc-but that is
not worth quarreling about. Give the

and increased valuations will more
than pay the cost.

last week to reach an agreement on the

military guarantees, insisting that if
Germany does lot come across, France

it is the rule Of the auditor not to
carry up" any single item of less

PROPERTY AND TAXES.

| The total assessed valuation of the
taxable property of York county this
year is $14,425,729, against $1S,S16,Os4
last year.
This is according to Auditor Loves
abstract Of the duplicate he turned over
to Treasurer Neil last Tuesday.
This abstract shows a nominal gain
of $6O9,63 in the assessed values OF
the county, as compared wit last year;
but as a matter of fact there is a loss
of more than a million. Since the books
were made up the state tax commission
has granted a reduction Of $1,093,665 in
the assessment of the Anderson Motor
company alone, and in addition to this
there have been some other very heavy
reductions, amounting to several hun
dred thousand dollars more, so the ac-
tuaI assessed valuation of the property
of the county this year will run good
deal less than last year.
The treasurer's total book this year,
subject to the reductions indicated,
calls for taxes to the amount of $59S,
314.3O1, for the following named pur-
DoanS.
