WITHIN n TOWN

LET the heather rage" say Rev.
John w. Ham. and the heathens are
raging.
- Mr.. Jesse Boyd and Miss Ollie
Snipes were married at the Methodist
parsonage Saturday morning, Rev.
Henry Stokes officiating. Both are re-
sidents Of the Lockmore mill and have
many friends in this section. Mr.. and
Mrs. Boyd will continue to reside here.
The Yorkville creamery has JUS
pended operations. Patrons who
brought butterfat to the plant yester-
day morning were notified that no
more of their product could be utilized.
Mr.. ]. P. White, who has been man.
ager Of the creamery for several weeks
past, said that inability to secure suf-
f1cient butterfat to run the plant at a
profit, necessitated the suspension Of
operations. During September less
than 1000 pounds Of butter vas sold
and the output so far this month has
not been as good as asst.
See that bottle?" inquired a we'll
known druggist yesterday afternoon, as
he held up a one ounce bottle Of qui-
nine. We'll, sir, we have been selling
ounce bottles of quinine at so cents.
You couldn't guess what that same
bottle costs us now Just $3.50. That
is ALL" Then he went On to explain
that manufactured q%uinine comes
mainly from Europe and since the cpl
demic Of typhus fever in Serbia and In
other parts Of war-torn Europe, the
expectation Of quinine to this country
has been prohibited. There Is a very
small supply on hand and hence the
tremendous increase in the price Of the
drug.
The p%ostofice was moved into its
new quarters in the Mcneil building
Saturday, the mail from the west
bound Southern passenger train Satur-
day afternoon, being the first to be
worked up in the new quarters. There
was some little confusion at first in
regard to the selection of boxes and
the fitting Of keys, but everything con-
nected with the office is working as
smoothly as clock work now. Hun
dreds of people from the town and
country visited the new postoffice on
Saturday, many of them merely for the
purpose of inspecting the new quar-
tiers, which are larger and more COM
modious than heretofore. The new
p~ostoffice is we'll lighted and ventilat-
ed, furnished with steam heat and all
modern conveniences. 1t has been
quite amusing during the past few
days to watch the actions of people
who have for years been accustomed
to get their mail at the old stand, and
who still governed by force Of habit,
are unable to realize the change. In
some instances people doing business
almost next door, would find them
selves going to the old place after their
mail, and not be reminded Of the
change until after they had tried the
door. In other cases people would
walk half a mile or more to the old
postoffice. without having thought Of
the change On the way.

ON THE LINE OF BATTLE
Summary Of Yesterdays Developments
Along Fighting' Fronts.

Along Fighting Fronts.
Maj. Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton has been
relieved Of the command Of the British
forces in the Dardanelles n called
home to report on the Gallipoli situa-
ton. He is to be succeeded by Maj.
Gen. Charles Carmichael Monro. The
Dardanelles operations have not been
as fruitful Of results as the British
war office and the people of England
much criticism Of the campaign.
Another important incident on the
British side Of the war is the ~resigna-
ton from the cabinet Of Sir Edward
Carson, the Ulster leader, appointed
attorney general asst May on the for
nation of the collation. ministry. Diff
ferences are reported to have risen be-
tween Sir Edward and other members
Of the cabinet, especially On the con-
duct Of the near eastern campaign,
and his resignation, it was said, has
been in the hands Of Premier Asquith
for some time.
The Servians and M~ontenegrins in
northern and western Servia are siren
uously contesting the march Of Aus
TRANS and Germans and on the east
the Servians are fighting hard against
Bulgarian attacks. The Anglo-FTench
forces to the south are declared to be
making progress in their efforts to
bring relief to their harassed allies.
Report has it that the Allies have
occupied the important strategic town
Of Strumitza, in the extreme south
western part Of Bulgaria, just across
the Greek border, and that a landing
has been made by them at Enos, in
the mouth of the Martha river, a short
distance southeast Of the Bulgarian
port of Dedegatch.
Both Berlin and Vienna assert that
their troops and those of Bulgaria are
making progress in their campaign in
Servia but as traced on the maps this
progress is slow.
Artillery fighting and fighting by
hand grenades have been the sole
methods Of warfare along the French
line.
On the Russian front Won linden
burg's attempt to push through to
Dvinsk has brought out the hardest
fighting.
Berlin asserts that good progress
has been made by Won Hindenburg
south OF Rega, and that neal Illoukst,
Russian positions extending W. a
front Of nearly two miles have been
captured.
Stubborn fighting is going on in the
Austro-Italian zone with the Italians
OF the offensive. On the plateau of
Doberdo, Italians reached the Aus
trian entanglements at some places,
but Vienna says they were finally
driven off.

- Charleston's city Democratic re-
cutive committee, shortly after Z
o'clock Saturday night, declared that
Major Tristram T. Hyde a the DEM
ocratic nominee for mayor Of Charles
ton, he having defeated the incumbent,
Mayor John P. Grace, 3,109 to 1881, a
majority Of 1913. The IA Hyde men on
the executive committee voted solidly
to declare their candidate the nominee.
The committee by a vote Of 13 to 10,
voted to throw out box 2 Of ward 10,
which was charged by the Hyde parti-
sans with being irregular. The box is
said to have contained $50 votes, the
majority Of which were for Mr.. Grace.
Following the declaration Of the execu-
tive committee, Mayor Grace demand
ed a recount, which was refused. The
Grace members Of the committee,
headed by John I. Cosgrove, then
marched out of the committee room in
a body and refused to further partici-
pate in the proceedings. 1t is stated
unofficially that Mayor Grace will take
the matter to the courts. All is quiet
in Charleston at present. There are
seven companies Of militia on guard
and the meeting of the executive COM
mittee Saturday was held under guard.
None save committeeman, reporters
and other officials were allowed to en-
ter the committee rooms and before
each man entered he was searched for
weapons, not even a pocket knife be-
ing allowed. 1t is said that a pistol
was taken from the pocket of Mayor
Grace before he was allowed to enter
the room and pistols were also taken
from Chief Of Police Cantrell and
Sheriff Martin of Charleston. Although
the situation is quiet at present, there
is no telling when more trouble will
develop. Charleston is said to be di-
vided into two great political camps.
Every man in the city is for Hyde or
for Grace. The governor has stated
that he will not remove the militia un-
til the storm has blown over. Neither
will the d~ispensaries be opened until
the situation gives evidence of more
composure. The four men who were
wounded Friday were members of the
Grace faction. Henry j. Brown and
Edward Mcdonald. both Hyde parti-
sans are in the Charleston city jail,
the former being charged with the kill
ing of Sidney Cohen, the young news
paper man, while the latter is charged
with conspiracy to kill. The killing of
young Cohen was purely accidental.
Both sides admit that fact. 1t is said
that the man, Henry j. Brown, who is
held at the police station, fired the first
shot and started the melee. Judge M.
L. Smith in the court Of general ses-
sions for Charleston county, yesterday,
refused to grant bail to Henry j..
Brown and Edward r. Mcdonald who
were being held in the city Jail, Brown
being charged with the killing Of Sid
ney Cohen, and Mcdonald with con-
spiracy to murder. The men are now in
the custody of Sheriff Martin. Coroner
Mansfield of Charleston, has not com
pleted the inquest. Eight witnesses
were examined yesterday, but their
testimony failed to attach the blame OF
Cohen's death to any one. Some say
Brown killed Cohen. Others say Nc
Donald is responsible.

tridges opens November 10 and closes
March /. The law prohibits the kill

single person in q day.
Section 100 of the Code OF Laws or
South Carolina provides: IF any per-

in his power to control the entire sit
uation all down the line in a way that
will secure to himself all the equities
to which he Is entitled in his produc-
ton.
That the producer Of cotton has not
heretofore been getting his fair share
Of the proceeds of his toll, there can
be no reasonable question.
Now, we happen to know it to be a
fact that before he launched his state
warehouse plan, Hon. John l.. McLau-
rim had thoroughly considered the
whole matter from the standpoint as to
whether the same should be subject to
state control or national control. and
for many good reasons he decided In
favor of state control.
There is no question of the fact that
the idea of a national warehouse plan
grew out Of and was borrowed from
the South Carolina state warehouse
plan.
The national warehouse plan is not
vet a law; but only a pending bill.
The state warehouse plan a al
ready proved it's efficiency and demon
strated it's capacity to secure for pro-
ducers Of cotton all that could be Sc
cured by a national warehouse plan.
1t has already been demonstrated
that a state warehouse certificate can
be made as good a security as any
financial institution could want, and OF
course there Is no need for anything
better.
A state warehouse plan that Is con-
fined to the cotton producing states,
each state sovereign to conduct its
own business as 1t will; but all bound
by ties Of common interest to work to-
gether, seems to cover the entire stu
alton.
A national warehouse system would
suggest the danger Of the control Of
warehouses and the financing of re-
ceipts falling into the hands Of inter-
ests that are a~ntagonistic to the in
~terests Of the cotton producing states,
and that is something to De avoided
rather than courted.
The great trouble with the cotton
producer ever since the Civil war has
been hat he could not control his
product; that he has been completely
subject to the exploitation Of the for
eign financier and manufacturer, and
the idea of the state warehouse system
is to restore to him that to which he
has been entitled all along. his own in
Dependence; to make him his w
boss.
AS we see it the people Of the south
want to perfect the state warehouse
system first. and then later on II they
desire n%ationaliZe the plan. They would
be in a better position to protect their
peculiar rights in the matter.

eAsToN's LIQUOR DEPOT.

Mention a already been made. OF
the fact that the express office at Clo-
yer Is the principal source Of liquor
supply for a large portion Of CASTOR
and other adjoining North Carolina
counties, and 1t Is unnecessary to say
that the situation continues unchang-
ed except for a steady increase in the
volume of liquor handled.
Under the statutes of North Carolina
it Is unlawful to ship liquor into Cas-
ton county in any quantity, and the
liquor dealers up that way are reduced
to quite serious straits in the matter
Of securing supplies. Because Of the
difficulties in the way some Of the peo-
| pie have cut liquor out entirely. Some
others depend upon the occasional flask
that can be brought from dry territory
by friends and then again others hav
more or less definite connections with
a few remaining moonshiners. the
great majority Of the thirsty, however,
have their liquor shipped to Glover and
come after 1t in automobiles, or such
to be available.
1t Is contrary to the law Of North
Carolina for anybody to have sealed
packages Of liquor in their possession
in CASTOR county. No n seems to
make any especial effort to enforce that
law: but the people who come down
from North Carolina are not inclined to
take unnecessary risks, and as evidence
ing this fact the four miles Of highway
between Glover and the North Carolina
line are Uttered with discarded liquor
cartons. The writer, who passed up
that way last Saturday, counted TWEEN.
ty-seven such cartons within a dis
lance Of about two miles.
And in this connection the writer
had quite a funny experience. In COM
pany with two other gentlemen, he was
on the way to Gastonia in an automo-
bile. Just ahead was another car con-
tanning four people. The register tag
showed that the car was from North
Carolina, and it did not require the
marvellous detective ability Of q Sher-
lock Holmes to lead n up to a con-
clusion that there was a gallon OF
whisky aboard.
Mr.. ]. G.. Wallace, who was driving
the car in which the writer was riding,
shifted some fun and made as II to
catch the car ahead. The driver of the
leading car put on more speed n held
Ills ledu. IL WAS SuSScSlcu lildl liooC
in front had begun to suspect that Mr..
| Wallace was one Of a party Of South
Carolina officers. When the dust Of the
forward car became disagreeable Mr..
Wallace dropped behind. Then the
front car slowed up, and the men threw
out q gallon carton. Next 1t appeared
that they were trying to draw a cork.
Mr.. Wallace put on more speed and
the other a did the same. The for
ward car got away ahead and held its
lead until it got we'll over the North
Carolina line, when it stopped. AS MI.
Wallace's car swept past, the men in
the other car were transferring the
contents Of a gallon jug into small bot
ties. All Of them appeared to be In a
smiling humor; but they did not show
up again.
It is said that the coming Of automo-
biles from North Carolina to Glover Is
a matter Of daily occurrence n some
times there are more than a dozen such
automobiles in a single day.

INTEREST IN REVIVAL GROWS

Interest in the evangelical meeting
which is being held in a large tent
on the Smith lot on South Congress
street under the direction Of the noted
preacher John w. Ham, continues to
grow, and each preaching hour sees
a larger audience under the big tent
than hat which was present at the
service hour before. The audiences are
not being composed of people of York
Vile along. People from the country
are coming. A number Of people from
Glover, Sharon, Hickory Grove and
other places are attending. People from
the mills in large numbers are attend
ing each night service. Ministers Of
denominations other than the Baptist
with which Mr.. Ham is affiliated, are
interested in the services, and people
generally are e%videncing an enthusi-
dencing an enthusiasm which ensures
complete success for the revival.
Thus far there have been a number
Of conversions-about forty, or maybe
more. There were some fifteen or
eighteen Saturday night, when one Of
the ldTReSI COuSTt6dllOHS WHICH Has
heard the forceful and convincing Rev.
Ham since his arrival here, Was pre-
sent.
One of the interesting features of
the services Is the singing which Is
under the direction of Prof. A. A. Lyon,
himself a master singer. There are per-
haps some twenty-five or thirty per-
sons in the choir which is composed
of folk of the different denominations
and under the direction Of the singing
master they have developed into a
capable organization. A junior choir
composed of a number Of young girls
and boys, also under the direction Of
Prof. Lyon, is making progress. At
each service since the beginning Of the
revival on Monday night of last week,
Prof. Lyon has rendered a solo just
preceding the sermon, and this is a
feature which is looked forward to
with interest by each congregation.
Mrs. Ham presides at the piano.
Before a congregation assembled
from the various denominations Of the
town and community surrounding.
Rev. Mr.. Ham IN Saturday night
preached one of the clearest, strongest
and most practical sermons heard in
Yorkville In many a day. To use his
own expression. he called "a spade a
spade" In simple language, so simple

What if he is, is that not commend

Some get political advancement unde-

Let no one leap to the conclusion
that Mayor Grace is peculiarly or es-
pecially the representative of the poor
men and laboring people of Charles
ton. When the Grace a meeting
was held in Charleston on the Satur-
day night preceding the election a con-
siderable number of h principal bus
mess men of the city occupied seats on
the stage, among them Capt. F. w.
Wagner, one of the wealthiest mer-
chants of South Carolina, and a score
or so of lawyers, bankers n profess
sional men, not a few Of them MEM
bers Of the families that have long
been prominent in Charleston society.
The contest between Grace and Hyde
was in nc sense a contest between the
classes-the same kind of people were
arrayed on both Sides. A larger pro-
portion of prominent men supported
Hyde perhaps, but in no way was the
line of division marked by social, COM
mercial or labor Observation-Disclosures
umbia State.
We are glad to see this statement
from the Columbia State. There is a
common inclination to belittle and be-
smirch the Grace crowd as the low
down crowd, and to uphold the Hyde
crowd as standing for all that is just
and right. This is not correct. The
editor of the Columbia State has lived
in Charleston for a number Of years
and he is we'll acquainted with condi-
lions there. In our judgment the state
ment he has made is fair and impair
tial as far as it goes. OF course there
are good people in Charleston, lots of
them. The percentage Of Charles
tonians who would scorn to sanction
anything low, dirty or dishonorable, Is
as large as is to be found in any town
in the state. But Charleston politics
has been rotten on both sides for years
and it is still rotten. With both sides
it is means to an end, and it is quite
probable that in the election the other
day there was as much cheating and
fraud on the one side as on the other.
If there were more Irregularities on
the one side than on the other, then 1t
was only because that side was able to
get in more of the same kind of work
that both sides were trying to do. AS
to who is responsible for that tragedy
of last Friday we do not know. The
inference Is that both sides are re-
sponsible. But no matter who is re-
sponsible, the situation Is most deplor-
able, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that some means may be found where
by a free ballot and orderly govern
ment may be established in the city.
