There are quite a number OF YORK
county farmers who are making good
money by shipping butter fat to Gas
tonia. Mooresboro, Hickory, Shelby and
other creamery points at 3S cents a
pound. The shipping of cream means
cash money at short intervals, and
some of the, shippers are entirely sat
is1ied with the profits they are realiz-
inE. The shipping of cream is d busi-
ness that is capable of wonderful pos
sibilfties and as soon as it develops
sufficiently to warrant the outlay, 10
cal ,cre.lmeries will 'be established.

It would be a heavy loss to the
Yorkville Associate Reformed church
and to this community generally, If
Rev. ]. L. Oates should accept that
call to Columbia. This remark, how
ever, is commonplace and unnecessary,
for the fact stated is keenly appreci-
ated both by the church and the COM
munity.

We do not have at hand the figures
showing the percentage of increase IN
freight rates following the turning
back of the railroads to their stock
holders, but the present decrease is
comparatively small. 1t will be re-
marked that when the previous in
crease went into effect, we were ad=
yised, from carefully made calculations
that the difference was so small on a
pair of shoes that you would hardly
notice it. We are reminded that the
ten per. cent decrease to go into effect
on July 1st will still less noticably af-
feet the price of pair of shoes or

Senator sCaraway has made out has
case of( rascality against Daugherty
and Fielder in connection with the
Morse pardon. There is very little
doubt of that. But still there is much
reason TO, fear that Caraway is only
putting UP a smoke screen to shield
Democrats who have stolen millions
war frauds. we would like
very much to see the rascals prosecut-
cd regardless of who they are AS the
thing stands, of course, it is only the
Democratic rascals who are in spe-
cial danger. We have no more sympa-
thv with them than we have with the
Republican rascals. We have no SYM
pathy with either; but at the same
time we think that the Democratic
rascals have as much on the Republi-
can rascals as the Republican rascals
have on the Democratic rascals, and it
looks hard that there should be so lit
tie comeback at the Republicans Tor
using the machinery of, the govern
ment in the prosecution of Democrats
for things of which the Republicans
are also guilty.

TO WHERE IS TT LEADING?

The New York Herald quotes some interesting figures and asks some pertinent questions concern ing the continued disposition of Legislatures Con- gress to appropriate large money during these times when the United States is collecting billions of money from the American people in taxes and other billions are being taken for State and municipal pur poses and when the of living doing business continues high. It quotes figures show that the
 mutual savings banks of the United States the pres em time hold savings deposits amounting to $5,1S6- Sf5OO0, an unprecedcnt ed amount, it is true but sum that represents the savings of 9455.327 depos itors This five billions of dollars the Herald says represents the savings from the toll years of thrift and often hardship these nine and half million people, who depend upon 1t keep them millions Of others from depending upon charity in the days when their earning powers cease. The Herald then calls attention the circumstance that the proposed bonus bill alone would the payers of the country amount equal to all these savings of all these millions of people The war already has the country five times that amount and't IS still costing that much every years in addition to the amount it cost to the country before the war on account of things growing out of the conflict
 Where and when is this great dissipation of the earnings Of the people going cease? Nowithstand- ing that the country is already burdened with debt and taxes. people Of all classes are asking the Gov ernment for legislation and appropriations for aid The manufacturer wants legislation to hold for him self the markets of the United States with tarin that will tend to prices increase the farm CTS asking the Government purchase their sur plus cfopss the shipping interest asking for ship subsidies; many of the working men and poor would have the Government esislae them into positions of adluence; faddsts ask the Government for legislative authority for their fads and money to make them go a6d so 1t is all along the line More Federal money Is wanted to aid road buding aid the schools to protect the public health to enforce prohibition and

other sumptuary legislation, and for all manner of things.
 Of course disarmament will help, but if the money be saved in that line is only to be spent on some thing else, when will the downward course Of busi- and the upward of taxation discontinue?
 It has taken some ten millions of the people years of work and sedenia five billions of dollars
 How many people will it take to the billions that are being expended each by the Federal Govern and the additional billions that all sorts of peo pie and propagandists asking for?
 Is it not time that the Federal Government the State and municipal governments and all the other axraising and tax-expending agencies get closer to the earth stop the treasury radng and constantly in creasng levies? That could be done in many ways, not the least among them would be to curtail governmental activities and get down to the sort of government those who made the Con stitution had in mind.
 If something is not done to stop this riot of eXpen- ditures and taxation there will come a time when it will automatically for, in the end, it will lead to bankruptcy and bankrupt people pay all the money faddists and theorists and the others are asking for.
