If the town at the head of the
lakes was still on the map" assert
cd a friend to the Enterprise scribe
a couple of days since. And while
we dislike to own up to it, we feel
impelled to coincide with the
statement as made. Virginia has
the natural advantages to make of
it a great city; the railroads, the
mills, the mines and the distribut-
ing point for industries without
number. But one drawback that
has interfered with progress to a
marked degree, especially during
the past few years, has been the
internal strife among citizens, the
idea held up by some that they are
better than others, that their mo-
tives are more patriotic, that they
only, know how city should be
run TO make it prosperous. A
state Of affairs truly to be deplor-
I'd, but nevertheless existing, and
with little prospect of brighter
future. Virginia is good town
best on the range; but it could be
made a heap better by a unity of
spirit in matters of public welfare.
Think it over, and STE if you do

ARREST PROMINENT FARMER.
Charged With Connection With a

A dispatch from Donalds to the
Greenville Piedmont says Mr.. B. L..
Lipford, a prominent farmer OF this
section, was arrested Tuesday by
county officials on a charge of having
been connected with the operation OF
the distillery seized last week near
that town. The arrest of Mr.. Lip
ford has created a sensation here
abouts since he has always stood very
highly and the preferment of the
charges against him came as a COM
plete surprise. A man by the name
Of Cannon has also been placed under
arrest on the same charges. The still
was found last week by a corps OF
surveyors, who were locating the line
for the Donalds school district 1t
was on a farm that is being worked
by a Mr.. Searcy. After an lnyestl-
cation by the officials, Mr.. Searcy was
placed under arrest and taken to
Abbeville, where he gave bond. 1t is
said that Mr.. Searcy implicated Mr..
Lipford and Mr.. Cannon in the opera
tion of the still and that this caused
their arrests.

NEIL HAYES IN CUTTING sCRAPE
Man Tried for killing Robert Floyd
Again in Lmelight.

Wilmington, N. c., May 1S.-Late
this afternoon, at Greenfield Park,
while an open-air service was in prog
ress, Neil NJ. Hayes, who has figured
in Court considerably, and two broth
ers, attacked Frank Mccartney, Il
years old, and in the melee one of the
trio cut Mccartney seriously about the
face and head. Neil and G. E. Hayes
were arrested, but the third got away.
The police have not been able to learn
the cause of the trouble.
Neil Hayes, with his wife, was tried
in Columbus county two or three
years ago, the husband for accessory
and the wife for the actual killing
of Robert Floyd, of South Carolina,
at Mount Tabor. Both were acqult-
ted, the woman claiming she shot
FLOYD, whom she had known we'll for
some time, in defence of her honor.
Two or three weeks ago Hayes
brought action for divorce, alleging
statutory grounds.

.HARD LUCK TO DIE LIKE THIS"
Macon Banker, Who Took Poison by
Accident, is Still Cheerful.

Macon, Ca, May Although his
doctors have steadfastly refused to
hold out any hope for B. Sanders
Walker, the banker and real estate
man who is dying by inches from
poison, he today maintained his
cheerful demeanor until evening,
when he told those who are staying
constantly by him that lit is hard
luck to die like this. l don't want to
die; there must be some way to save
my life" He was told again there
was none.
This morning he asked how the
University of Georgia baseball game
with Georgia School of Technology,
played Saturday, came out. Mr..
Walker is an alumnus of the former
institution. Although Tech won, he
was told that his alma mater had
been returned victor.
THAT gives them an even break on
the series, doesn't it," he said. The
last two days food of hundreds OF
telegrams from all over the country
have come to the Walker home with
suggestions as to his possible relief.
Not one was from a physician. Specl-
alists in every large city in the United
States, have been communicated
with, but not one would hold out any
hope.
Mrs. Walker is making fight that
is the wonder of her friends. In her
husbands company she has been ever
brave and cheerful. Not once has she
presented anything but a courageous
front.
