EX.PREsIDENT HARRISON accepted q
fee of $50, 900 to defend railroad COM
pany in Indianapolis, whose Infamous
robberies were 80 notorious that the
Judge before whom they were tried
said "the head ringster of this gang
ought to be hanged" Why, in the
earlier and better days Of the country,
no lawyer with any respect for his own
reputation, let alone an e1-President,
would have defended such rascals for
any price. 1t was only q short time
ago that a young preacher who had OBJ
jected to the acceptance of large con.
tributions from men who have acquir-
ed riches by crooked means, was set
upon by his church, and informed that
when he grew older he would know
better. But times have changed, and
manners with them.

much larger scale than anything that
has occurred heretofore, is an easy
possibility. The Greeks are com.
planning that all during the armistice,
the Turks have been receiving large
re-enforcements in Thessaly.
- In Fexas German syndicate has
recently negotiated for 100000 acres
of land in the southern section of the
state, to be. settled by a colony from
the Fatherland. The tract is to be
divided into small farms, for agricul.
ture, stockraising, fruit growing and
vineyards. The colonists will raise
everything in the way of farm and
dairy products, and establish manu-.
factories of various kinds. Near the
centre of the property will be laid of
town site, at which the colonists will
trade. A large brewery will be erect
ed for the local and Mexican custom,
and direct commerce with Mexico will
be established. There is already d
large German element in southern
Texas, which has contributed vastly
to the development of that region,
and the new colony will receive a
warm welcome.

THE BRIDGE DISCUSSION.

The time at which the county board of
commissioners disposed of the bridge
matter, last Tuesday afternoon, was so
close TO the time at which it was necessary
for THE ENQUIRER to 60 to press, in Or
der to catch the northbound mails, ss to
make it impracticable to give fair idea
of the drift of the discussion.
There were several developments that
we're of more or less interest. For in
stance, during the recess, it had beer sug-
gested to Mr.. Crook that in his remarks
he had been disrespectful to the supervi-
sor and the members of the committee
who had located the bridge. Mr.. Crook
took occasion to refer to the matter. He
said that if he had been disrespectful, he
was not aware of it. He had certainly
intended 10 disrespect, nor had he in
tended anything he had said as personal.
He had only stated the facts as he had
seen them, and if he had given personal
offense to anybody, he humbly begged
their pardon. Supervisor Culp said that
he had not consd cred anything that had
been said by Mr.. Crook as personal, or as
a reflection upon himself.
Commissioner Miller took occasion to
rise to question of personal privilege.
1t had been intimated during the discus
sion of the morning that the bridge COM
mittee represented Fort Mill and Rock
Hill. He wanted it understood that he
went there representing the board of
county commissioners and the people of
York county. Nobody in Rock Hill had
tried to influence him in the matter, and
if they had tried they would not have

CHILD'S PLAY.

We have noticed little outcropping of
a kind of threat to the effect, that unless
the Catawba river bridge is located at
Harris's ferry, there are those who are op-
posed to it's being located at all. The first
we noticed of this disposition was ire
sponsible suggestions that were unworthy
of notice but when such suggestion is
officially made by member of the board
of county commissioners, it seems to be
deserving of more consideration.
The first official suggestion Of the ma
ture referred to came to our attention
through the remarks Of Commissioner
Miller in the county board meeting last
Tuesday. After asking Mr.. Crook wheth-
er be was against the bridge unless it was
located at Neely's ferry, he next inti-
mated that unless the bridge was a"York
county" ,"and not a "Fort Milr' affair, he
was opposed to it absolutely, and finally
suggested, as though with his full ap-
proval, that the reopening of the matter
would very likely result in the falling
through of the whole scheme, etc.
Although we admit that stranger things
have happened, all of these suggestions
