While in Greenville recently, the
editor Of The Enquirer had the pleas
ure Of being shown through the Green
Vile News building by Mr. G. w.
Brunson, the editor Of that paper.
Mr.. Brunson decided about a new
building about three years ago, and ne
went into the enterprise on quite an
ambitious scale. putting up a hand
some six-story structure that ranks
with the handsomest and most expen-
sive buildings Of the city. Altogether
he spent about one hundred thousand
dollars and he made a complete job
of the building from cellar to roof. In
planning the big building, due allow
ance was made for the future growth
of the paper, and two-thirds more
room was provided than Is necessary
for present purposes. All the surplus
room is rented to good tenants at a
rate that gives the Daily News its
own quarters practically without cost.
The equipment and conveniences Of
the newspaper, however. are all that
could be desired for a journal Of its
excellent class and standing, and taken
Editor Brunson has
achieved an undertaking Of which he
we'll has q right to be proud. He does
not hesitate to say, however that the
period Of depression Immediately fol-
lowing the breaking out Of the Europ-
can war, took several years off his
life, on account Of the exceedingly
close margin by which he was able to
pull through. The News is one Of the
few daily papers in South Carolina
that is run on a strictly cash basis and
another popularity Is that altogether

WOULD ABOLISH OFFICE
Effort Being Made to Gust Comptroller
John Shelton Williams.

Abolition Of the office Of comptrol-
Ter Of the currency, which has direct
supervision over the operation Of all
national banks, was proposed today
to the Federal reserve board by the
advisory council, created by the Fed
eral reserve act to advise the board on
matters Of Importance to the reserve
banking system, says q Washington
dispatch Of Tuesday. The recommen-
dation was adopted at meeting at
tended by nine Of the twelve members
of the council and the vote is under
stood to have been unanimous. Later
it was discussed briefly by the board
itself, though no action was taken.
The council recently was asked to
submit to the board suggestions as to
legislation to be urged upon congress
at the coming session, and to this
task today's meeting largely was de-
voted. 1t is said the members agreed
that the office Of comptroller had been
made unnecessary by the establish
ment of the reserve system, and that
there was bound to be duplication Of
work since examinations Of national
banks, one Of the principal functions
of the comptroller's office, may be con-
Quoted by agents Of the reserve board
at the request Of reserve bank. An
alternative proposal was made that II
the office be not abolished, the exam
ination Of member banks, including ma
tional banks, should be made in the
future exclusively by examiners Of the
board. There have been reports for
sometime that an effort would be made
to abolish the office Of comptroller or
to curtail its power, and it is under
stood that several members Of the
board would not be opposed to such
a change.
The council recommended also
amendments to the reserve act to per-
nit member banks to subscribe TO the
stock of joint branches in foreign
countries, particularly South and Cen
tral America; to permit national banks
to open branches in cities in the Unit
ed States and to permit member banks
to count Federal reserve notes as re-
serve. Several other suggestions con-
sdered of minor importance were ad-
vanced.
There was a general discussion Of
requests from the board for opinions
on how to reduce the existing over
expansion in loans and how to guard
against evil effects that may be eX-
pected to result to the financial inter-
eS's of this country following the Eu-
ropean war.
Each of the reserve banks designates
a member of the council. Those at
tending today were J. B. Forgan, Chi
rago; d. G. Wing, Boston; w. S.
Rowe. Cleveland: G. l.. Seay, Rich
nond: c. A. Lyerly. Atlanta: c. T.

We are printing today q communi-
cation from w. T. Walker of Green
vile, setting forth the issues involved
in the trouble between the Judson
mill of Greenville and it's operatives.
Mr.. Walker puts it up to us that all
his people are asking for is a hearing
at the hands of the people Of the state,
and because he has the reputation OF
being a safe and sane leader Of high
principles, We feel that it is nothing
more than right to give it to him.
His communication speaks for itself.
According to his presentation Of the
case, there is no question Of wages
involved; but only the right Of the
mill workers to organize for the pro-
motion of their industrial, social and
material welfare. This right is guar
anteed by the laws Of the state, and
in our opinion it is well founded on
principles of justice and liberty. OF
course, there is opposition to union
ism. which has not yet secured firm
foothold in this state; but the right or
labor to organize is being recognized
by fair minded, intelligent people ev-
erywhere, and we are inclined to think
that if the Judson mill people will
continue to perSevere in their efforts
and refrain from violence, they will
eventually win. But that they have
a hard road to travel under the cir
cumstances, goes without saying.

1t is quite evident that there is go
ing to be big fight in congress over
the question of spending something
like a billion dollars in preparation
for war. The president is committed
to this policy and a strong and in
fiuential section Of the business inter-
ests of the country is with him. Mr..
Kitchin, the Democratic leader Of the
house. is opposed to it. and he also
has quite following which is being
ably backed up by Mr.. Bryan and
others. The common belief is that the
Republicans will vote with the presi-
dent, especially since they have no
real responsibility in the matter.
What is the right thing to do is a
most serious problem. 1t is reason
ably certain that this country is not
now prepared for war in trained men,
arms or equipment like any of the
foreign countries. and it is reasonably
certain that any foreign country could
give us a lot Of trouble before we
could get down to business, if it could
get over here. There is considerable
doubt as to whether any foreign coun-
Try could ever get to us to do much
good except through Canada or Mex
leo. Our coast cities might be laid
under tribute for time; but it would
probably be only matter Of time be-
fore we could be able to relieve them.
However. that is not the point so
much. The real point is whether it
would be best to go on as we are go
ing and depend upon our ability to
conduct ourselves in a wav that will
avoid war, or go ahead with the in
crease of army and navy, and along
with it public sentiment to an ex-
tent that might eventually make war

years ago, Mr.. ]. w. Belts had a dog
named Fly, kin to Joe and about as
good a dog. There was a fellow over

Mr.. Belts, asking him to let him keep
Fly a few days longer. They wanted
to have a race or two. Mr.. Belts con-
sented. few days later he received
word that Fly had been run over by
a train or something. That was all

in catching their fox. But they missed

Care of the Teeth.

The greatest drawback to modern
dentistry is a foolish notion Of ethics
that prevents the members Of the
profession from advertising.
Because the ethics Of the profession
prevent the members thereof from ad-
vertising dentistry perhaps. does not
receive as much attention from the
newspapers as would otherwise be
the case.
This Is natural enough, Of course;
but not altogether defensible, because
the real sufferer in the premises Is not
so much the dentists and the newspa-
pers as the general public.
While, Of course, a considerable
percentage Of people have fairly COM
prehensive knowledge Of the possibili-
ties Of dentistry-enough people, may
be, to keep the dentists fairly busy
the majority Of the people are without
such knowledge.
Dentistry probably has made more
progress during the past fifty years
than either surgery or medicine, and
nowadays 1t Is recognized that many
ills Of the body, like rheumatism and
headache. defective eyesight are often
traceable to bad teeth, and any up-to-
date dentist is able to remove the
trouble with but little difficulty.
There are certain troubles with
which the medical practitioners used
to struggle in vain; but which they
now send to the dentist with a GER
tainty Of relief.
Up to few years back the only
thing the dentist knew to do with an
abcessing tooth was to wait until the
abcess was ripe enough to open and
then go into it with lance. There
has been many a wretched life on this
account, through ignorance, and
which seem not to occur now for the
reason that any dentist who knows
his business pretty we'll can, If given
the case in time, head off an abcess
in the forming.
1t used to be that the only thing
to be done for an aching tooth was
to pull it OUT but now all dentists
know how to stop the aching, remove
the nerve and preserve the tooth for
years, and often this can be done
without pain.
UP to a few years ago, what Is
known as Riggs disease Of the gums.
a most disagreeable, upsetting and
painful disorder, was absolutely In
durable. Now any modern dentist,
we'll up with his profession, will
promise with assurance, an absolute
cure.
People often suffer tortures with
their teeth simply because they are
ignorant of the fact that relief may
be easily affected by those who know
how, and most dentists know how.
1t was VIM. H. Vanderbilt, we be-
lieve, who gave expression to the
truism that it is of little use to have
anything that is Of more value to
some one else than 1t Is to yourself,
unless you advertise the possession In
such way as to bring the knowledge
to the other fellow.
No, we are not quarreling with the
dentists in this matter. We are mere
ly trying to give the public hint as
to what is in store for 1t IL 1t will look
into the matter.

We submit that the town Of York
Vile can take no more progressive
step than in the establishment Of a
public cotton platform to be presided
over by duly qualified official weigh
er and grader. Had such platform
been established ten years ago. the
probability is that the business Of the
town would be twice what 1t Is at the
present time.
The Yorkville people who went over
to Winthrop last Monday were car
ried away with the eloquent arguments
of the Great Commoner. One man
said: II believe could have listened
to him for three hours without grow
ing tired" and another said, Il could
hardly restrain myself from following
Mr.. Bryan to Charlotte"
There 10 plenty of room for any en-
terprising individual to get any Of the
premiums that are being offered by
The Yorkville Enquirer. While quite
a large number Of names have .been
returned, 1t is still within the power
Of anybody to nsthe largest premi-
ums, and there Is hardly communi-
ty in the county where one cannot
hope to secure enough names to get
piece dinner set.
On Tuesday afternoon, Mr.. J. c.
Wallace Of Ycrkville, brought to The
Enquirer office an advertisement ad-
vising that he had found an ovcrcoat
which the owner could have by pay
ing for the advertisement. On yes
terday a card was received from ]. j.
Byers Of Yorkville, asking that The
Enquirer advertise the fact that he
had lost an overcoat and would pay
a reward to the finder. 1t is evidently
the same overcoat, so We are leaving
out both advertisements.
Reports from several people who
have earned copies Of our Premier
dictionary either by collecting coupons
or returning and paying for subscrib-
ers are to the effect that they are
much pleased with the book. Charlie
Parrott Of Filbert, who came in for
one yesterday with two paid subscrib-
ers and forty-five coupons, said: Il
saw the dictionary that Mr. White got
and decided to get one for myself at
almost any price"

FOX HUNTER AND HIS DOG

Take fox hunters all around, they
are pretty good lot Of folk; honest,
square, upright people and all that,
just simply can't help it," remarked
Mr.. ]. Bolivar Scott Of the Philadel-
phia section yesterday afternoon in
conversation with an Enquirer reporter
and Supervisor Boyd. Isn't that so,
Tom" queried Mr.. Scott Of the SUI
pervisor. ''Iou are fox hunter,
Wouldn't you steal a good dog If you
took liking to him and had a
chance?' We'll, ! don't know, you
mustn't crowd me too close" replied
the latter with smile. I'm not say
ing"
Mr.. Scott was talking about his fine
fox dog, "Joe,' a large black hound
which he priced highly and which dis
appeared from his home on October 4,
and has not since been heard from, al
though Mr. Scott has advertised for
him in The Enquirer and made inquiry
in various other ways. There is no
telling what has become Of him." con-
tinued Mr.. Scott. He may be in Ala
bama or some other seaport. Joe was
The best fox dog in this country and
you couldn't much blame fox hunt
CT for taking him. Still ! would like
10 have him back powerful bad-su
bad that l would not mind giving $40
for information leading to his recoy-
cry.
"A man told me the other day." con-
,inued Mr. Scott, that he believed he
knew where Joe was. This dog saw
looked much like Joe and 1t is great
'possum dog said my informant. No
replied, that isn't Joe. He's got too
Eiuch self-respect and is too proud Of
Ills blood to hunt 'possums.
MIR. Scott said he believed that some
one has stolen Joe. He does not see
now it would be possible for him to
remain lost otherwise. He's hunting
foxes every day or two now, l guess"
he said, and whoever has him has
sure got a dog 1 have seen lots Of
good dogs but none better than Joe.
His daddy was good dog and so was
mis- nanny"
His daddy was better dog than
he is said Mr. Boyd.
NO." replied Mr.. Scott.
Yes, but l knew them both,' argu-
ed the supervisor.
Il know" continued Mr.. Scott, but
you never saw them both together be-
cause Joe's daddy or his nanny either
couldn't keep up with him. he was so
fast Fox hunters do like good dogs
and they will do anything most to
get their hands on them. They will
buy them if they can. but If they can't
well, it's a good idea to keep your
dog chained. remember several

Wednesday.
- Spartanburg Herald: Rev. w. A.
McAulay, who recently rendered his
resignation as pastor Of the local A.
r. P. church, has accepted call to
the A. r. p. church Of Greenville, and
will leave next week for his new

Aulay was endorsed as synodica!
evangelist, and in this capacity, will
make frequent trips to other church-

He will make his home, however, in
