A new provision limiting to 50,000 the immi, gration from any country in any one ; year is now under consideration and may be added to the bill if its sponsors can- satisfy themselves that the passage of the measure will not be endangered or deferred thereby.

After' deliberating for 2S hours a jury:in federal court at Macon On., on Saturday returned verdicts of ' guilty on all five counts of the in ' dictmont against 30 persons accused 1 of conspiracy to rub the American Rnihyay Rxpress company of property ' ' valued at one million dollars. Four of the 04 persons indicted were never nr. .rested: nine were found not guilty by the jury;' nine verdicts of not guilty were directed by Judge Ueverly D. Kvans; live pleaded guilty, and one case was nol pressed. The case had been on trial for four weeks, witnesses from all parts of the United States being on the witness stand to complete the chain of evidence in the various transactions. During the government's presentation of evidence it was shown that there was a system of signals used in the conspiracy. "Will he ride?" was a query to determine whether a person alluded to was 'all right," the "all right" being an answering signal. Judge Kvans announced that he fvould sentence the convicted > persons on Saturday. April 30, at 10 a. m. "In sentencing you i will take in' . .to consideration that though you were *" it U'MG foil ml guilty <>n nvi; umu^, ib really all one transaction." .Ily^ge ; . (3pvmj3 said. "f will senfcri.ee youvas if 11 were all one count." The maximum sentence is two years in the peniicntiary or a line of $10,000 or both. Judge Evans told the jurors that I hoy ' ' were exempted from jury service for four years. Immediately after the verdict two express vans moved up to the federal building and began to carry away the great mass of "evidence." ? The missing naval free balbon, A-stiOt, wliieh. disappeared after leaving the I'ensacola.

Captain I lay Eckert. N*o , trace of the crew was found. Captain Eckert was beading for port about 7 o'clock last night when lie sighted a black pa.teb on the surface. An investigation developed that il was the 'missing balloon, with the basket still attached. The discovery was due to the fact that a small amount of gas remained in the bag. for the entire mass was watersoaked and by its own weight would have gone to the bottom. A sounding save the depth of the water at that point as l.ooo falli: ' ' oms and the brisket was floating at a depth of It 1-2 fathoms below the surface.

Davis, the other day, revives the oiu stoi-y 10 me cilcui that ho was the only living1 man who had the secret of the whereabouts of the Great Seal of the Confederacy. The story was pure romance from the beginning1. As a matter of fact the Great Seal of the Confederacy is of no importance except as a relic, and has not been since Appomattox; but a few years after the war it turned up in London and it is now in the Confederate museum in Richmond. Special judges are appointed by the governor on the recommendation of the supreme court. The governor cannot appoint'a special judge on his own initiative; but as was settled during ithe administration of Governor Blease, | | ho cannot be forced to accept the rec- | jmmendation of the chief justice. The , understanding is that where the chief justice is in doubt about a suitable appointment,. lie gets-a recommendation either from the bar.association or from sumo member,'of the bar association. Such appointments are not always hap py, However. t V It is pretty evident that the Washington administration does not propose j to ptut up with the idea of leaving to j Japan the control of the Island of Yap i in the Pacific, just because Japan took i it from the Germans. The United ! States needs a cable station on the Isj land of Yap and it does not intend to j hold such station by suffrage of the jjaps or anybody else either. Hut why j should Japan be allowed, to hold every- i ! thing she took in the war, anyway.! | ! Might as well say, as somebody has suggested, that the United States should hold St. Itlihit^ I5ut the United States'does'hot' haye to accept an.v' thing she does not want to acc.cpt and she is not going to do so. .There are indications Uijit the new administration.

Wilson,pccmcd to have the idea that Paris wis .the place. from which America could best; exert her influence on world affairs, and that is supposed to bo tiie reason why lie attended the peace conference in person. Put the new administration is proceeding on the assumption that since America is the greatest world ! ; power Washington is the city in which i | world affairs can be most effectively I | dismissed. To all appearances too. Secretary of State Hughes is to handle I the American end of all relations with j foreign diplomatic questions. " * " ' The 17th American congress convened in extra session at noun ycsterad.v.. i and the understanding was that Air.: : Harding was to read his message- td-? '<lay. The country is tremendously in-I terestcd in the attitude of the new president on the question of American relations with Europe and the world. yAlsro widespread interest attaches to the .distribution of Federal patronage, of which there is a tremendous amount to be disposed of. For instance, there are pending in the senate some seventeen thousand "Wilson appointments, which have not been confirmed, and it is virtually expected that all but a few of these will be thrown out and Harding appptptments substituted. These appointments,.include all .Kinds of posi tions;- outmost 01 mem, ol euuiso, aw; Iiostmastdrships. Another material rise in the price of print paper iS"?imminont unless there,is Serious fault'r\\ith what seenas-tobe a .common sen^e ,ln{erpretatibn ' of the significance of current developments; The; price of print paper is now.dpwn to about three'times what.it was before tho World war. It ims come down from about eight times the pre-war level. Along with mounting demands that the paper makers made on the paper users, the workers in the pulp mills demanded and secured better wages and shorter hours. With the decline of general business there was a slackening in the demand for paper apd prices dropped off to their present levels. They are still too high. Either that or they were not nearly high enough before the War. Anyhow, the | paper makers recently served notice on the workers in the paper mills that they must submit to a reduction of 30 pei- cent in wages and work-nine instead of eight, .hours. Representatives of the workers*on last Saturday decidI ed that they would do nothing of the I kind, and their action will be submit ted to the workers for adoption or rejection. If the workers ratify the action of their representatives the paper mills will all shut down. That is just what they want to do. It Is their desire to curtail supply so as to check I 'ailing: prices, and if they succeed of 1 course, the public will have to pay more where it is already paying enough. / > ? l It looks like the Greeks are in for a good, licking in their war with the Turkish Nationals, under Kernel Pasha, The division of Turkish territory by the Allied high commission, had to be accepted by the Constantinople government; but Kernel Pasha kicked out of the traces and undertook the establishment of a new Tprkish government in Antolia. The Greeks had been given considerable Turkish territory in the award; but their insistence on the reinstatement qC Constantine ' and the" overthrow of Vcnezelos set the wishes of the Allied high commission at defiance. The Constantinople government did not feel warranted in defying the Allies; but nevertheless its moral sympathy has been with Kernel Pasha and his Nationals. The Greeks went in to take'what had been awarded and then some, declaring that they could handle the Turks without difficulty. A hip campaign was launched against the Turks and the Greek lines were pushed far into Antolia, the Turkish Nationalists falling away before, them. As the Greeks got farther away from their base the Turks got closer to "theirs. Then suddenly last week Kernel Pasha struck the Greeks a terrific blow; "killed. wounded and captured large numbers of them and sent the balance belter skelter back toward their own borders. The Allied high commission is presumably backing the Greeks, but it is really not giving any help. About the only country that is in sympathy with the Greeks is America; but American sympathy is not especially militant. The Greeks are practically bankrupt. and although there is plenty of reason to believe that they would lick | the Turks with a reasonable amount of i finsinpi.il- backing that financial back I ing does not yet appear to be in sight. | France is cool toward Greece because of Greece's allegiance toward her Gcr| man king, Constantine. Italy is jealj ous of the development of Greek power, Great Britain has troubles of her own and then because of her millions of Mohammedan subjects, she does not i want to be .too active against Mohammedan Turkey. "Farmers Strike." Farmers throughout the entire United States are putting into execution their threat to reduce food and stock I production because of low prices paid for their products. I Convinced that the farmers are curtailing production in spring planting, I government officials now arc trying to learn the extent of the strike. Upon this may depend'food prices next winj ter. Detailed reports on the acreage planted to wheat, corn, potatoes and other staples now arc being collected by the Crop Estimate bureau of the department of agriculture. Announcement. of the findings will be made in : the regular manner as Ihe figures come in.?Washington Herald. 'Pin. fnrciroiiig is from one of the most reputable newspapers in the country and the statements made are entirely serious; but nevertheless, in the opinion of The Yorkvllle Enquirer ; quite absurd. Largo farmers of sufficient information and knowledge of things economic and commercial to. be" able to fully comprehend the significance of the Federal reserve board's financial meth-. rids and manipulations during the past I few years, and especially during the past six months, may have talked "strike" and quite justifiably too; hut so far as any idea of widespread, eoncortcd movement along that line is concerned, The YorkviUu Enquirer does r.ol believe there is anything to it. The recent deflation campaign was accomplished by widespread propaganda against the "so-called high cost of living." It was all "bunk," that "high cost of living" plirtise: but it served its) purpose with the average individual, in / J whom it awakened the hope; that somehow, .with, his income unimpaired he would Ite'nhle to btiv the other fellow's stuff- Cheaper, lie "e tYiofO. -left. .La blow in. on other things that were appealing. to his prosperous dreams. When the deflation pressure reached the pinching point and people quit buying for lack of money, the prftpagandists raised the cry of "consumers' strike." , . With the rapid advance of cotton and foodstuffs, it was nothing but natural that farmers who were already farming should be stimulated to greater dctlvitV-1 For the same reason oth"fel's who had. given up farming in despair went back into the business, and also mlidh speculative' capital 'became thus engaged. But with the decline in prices speculative capital retreated, the returned farmers had quit again and the regularrvjfarmei3 .were rc|egated back ip-7tlielr: original status. * i '.J Thousands of farmers, near-farmers gncL. /speculators have been . ruined. Others are carrying a heavy 16ad. There are thousands and. hundreds of thouSaVds'.thrd'ughout the country' who have oni their hands their last year's crops which have shrunk in price far below the cost of production, and who are simply on the anxious bench, concerned over the proposition whether they can hold on until they can get their money back. Most of them have long since given up all hope of profit. So far as the strike among the farmers of this section is concerned, the idea is absurd. If bthey are not planting as much as they planted last year it is because their means are tied up in the crojis they already have on hand, andtttojjy are unable to get the wherewith to plant another crop. They have no notion of strike. On the contrary the will and desire of nine out of ten .is to puo^luce more regardless of the f^ct ttjatjtfiere; is no market for what pey^ already have. There Is going to be some cotton ?cduction in the south; but'very little of it is]going to be voluntary. The only reason, that the average would-be cotton producer will plant less acreage is because ho is unable to plant more. He simply will not believe that tnere is more cotton in the world than the mills of the world can spin, and he persists In believing' that when the trade in cotton goods picks up he will be able to sqll his raw cotton at a fair pr,lce regardless of the tremendous surplus. Thei, producer of foodstuffs is very probably in the same boat. 1 But this talk of a strike of the farmers. Bosh!

Field crops, of course, have ' not been hurt. [ The September, 1920, issue of the Winthrop College bulletin, just out,' is ' devoted exclusively to a "School Sur- , vey of York County," by John Thompson, professor of rural life edu-\^ cation at Winthrop. The work begins with a brief outline of the county's educational progress from the days of.-Dr. Joseph Alexander, before the American Revolution, and includes a complete catalogue of ,-existing conditions, as compared with similar conditions in different counties in the United States that have made most educational progress. 'The result df this comparison is Jo iijipr??!? .the^ couviction. that wrhile York county has made most creditable progress, there is still much to be done and the student of the survey is not left in doubt as to what that something is or how to do it. While the attention of the average student of the work is likely to be held to the survey itself, those who have experience in such matte-s cannot escape being impressed with the vast amount of intelligent rm !nIf iner labor that has been | Ufai > <-, !/?> <.- _ expended by the author and compiler. This "work is well worth while to all who are earnestly interested in the progress of rural education or education generally, for that matter, and oopies may be had upon application to Winthrop college. . Noting the published statement that 80 per cent, of the automobile license tax collected in York county amounted to $14,53S.S0 and that the apportionment was being distributed, The Yorkville Enquirer sent a representative to the Office of the county treasurer to learn whether the amount" }iad been received. It developed that the money is not being divided that way. Instead all the money that- is being sent to Columbia on account of automobile licenses is being kept there and paid out to the county, treasurers by I "'iwints nn the' state treasurer as ex ponded. That is the county engineer makes out un itemized bill for labor, truck repairs and various other things and sends it in to the state highway commission, which on approval, sends the county treasurer a warrant on. the state treasurer. The county treasurer deposits the warrant in a local bank, gets the money and pays the bill. If this is the law, the law ought to be repealed, and if it is not the law it is a very high-handed proceeding. Why should not such portion of this money as belongs to York county be sent to the county treasurer to be deposited in York county banks where it can be used by the people until it is used on the roads? Why should the Columbia banks have the use of York county's . money? It is bad enough to have our roads worked from Columbia without the local people having any say; but when it comes to the point where the J county authoiH-ties arc not to be allow- ' ed the custody of' the"'county's own money that is getting to be a;little too miacii..
