j. X. Henry Calls Down the Columbia
State.

State.
This communication from J. X. Hen
ry. was published in the Columbia
State yesterday morning:
To the Editor Of The state:
| think your editorial calling for a
line up against c. y. Sapp is impolitic
and unfair to him and Mr.. Cooper. !
am sure that he is as true ito the
states interests as Mr.. Sawyer or Mr..
Stuckey and as loyal to President
Wilson and the Democratic party as
any man in the United States. More
over. last year. when as candidate. he
was the most outspoken In defense OF
Mr.. Wilson and the righteousness OF
the war. Claud y. Sapp Is patriotic.
Ii was bred and born in him. | know
his people.
Besides your editorial was unfair to
r. \. Cooper. You make as II he is
against the choice OF Mr.. Sapp as at
torney general. Never having any in
t.mation from him. but knowing the
man and of his effort to get rid OF fac
tionalism and his plea to vote for
South Carolina and not for any man
and his sincere desire TO heal all
breaches caused by our fratricidal fac
tionalism in this state. ] am as sure as
that I live. he would. II left to him.
select Mr.. Sapp as attorney general to
serve with him for his character, quail
itication. manliness. loyalty and the
best interest OF the state.
Besides. | am sure by your editorial
you do the state wrong by trying TO
force continued schism within the
state Democratic party and keep up
the quarrel. My plea is for justice and
the best interest Of this state. Do MIR.
Sapp fair J. X. Henry.

BuLLocK'S CREEK LINE.

There is a movement on foot over IN
the Hopewell section OF BULLOCK
Creek township for the annexation OF
that section to Broad River township
and people OF Sharon who are now IN
Rro,d River and York townships want

Creek township. .,.,
The HONEYWELL people filed a petition
with the county Board Of commission
,rs "Wednesday, asking to be annexed
10 Broad River, but the board inform
ed the petitioners that the matter Is
not within the boards jurisdiction;
that the pctition will have to he pre-
scntcd TO the general assembly.
rhe section which desires annexa-
tion TO Broad River township. includes
ali tho territory between Bullock4
Creek and Broad River. wedge.
shaped strip bordering on the Broad
River township line for distance OF
six miles, and also about six miles
deep. and including about fifteen
square miles. r..
The petitioners gave as a reason lot
the change, the fact that Tor tne most
part they do their trading at Hickory
Grove. and since their road system Is
more naturally connected with the
road system Of Broad River township
than that of Bullock's Creek township,
il would he much more convenient ana
satisfactory all around to he a part
of Broad River township.
In connection with the proposed an
ncxation OF part of Bullock's Creek
township with Broad River township
however, there is q very strong sentl-
ment in and around Sharon to change
from Broad River to Bullocks Creek.
sharon now lies for the most part In
Broad River township; but the eastern
outskirts extend over into York town.
shin and the southern outskirts eXtenc
into Bullock's Creek township.
The Sharon people argue that since
their trade territory extends more
down into Bullock's Creek township
than in other directions, and that their
road tax money is now being expended
on roads that are not as important to
them as are the Bullock's Creek town.
shin roads, it is to their advantage
as well as to the advantage OF Bull
locks Creek township that the town
he incorporated wholly within that
township.
>Thp fixing of the township lines is n
matter wholly within the jurisdiction
of the general assembly, and the coun-
" delegation in that body will act on
such showings as may be made with
regard to the matter as its discretion
may recommend.

the family and fancy grocery business,
has sold out his stock and retired.
Superintendent wray Of the Water,
Light and Power department, says
that the wells recently bored at the
pump station, have materially relieved
the water situation.
Rev. S. s. Watson. colored, died
quite suddenly at his home in York
willie last Tuesday at noon, following q
stroke of paralysis. Rev. Watson was
u we'll known minister Of the a. NJ. E.
Zion conference. He came to this place
from Great Falls. Chester county, and
has twice been pastor Of the A. NJ. T..
Zion church here: but has not held a
regular charge during the past year on
account Of his health, which had been
falling for some time previously. Still,
as his physical condition would permit.
he has been engaged in active work,
and preached in Catawba township last
Sunday morning. He also participated
in exercises at the Wesley NJ. E. church
sunday night. and appeared to be feel
ing very we'll during Monday. He was
stricken early Tuesday morning, how
ever, and failed to recuperate. Rev.
Watson stood we'll with the colored
people and he also had the respect Of
the whites with whom he was ac-
quainted. He leaves a widow. but no
children.
The congregation Of the Wesley NJ.
e. church, Rev. /. c. Wiley, pastor, had
an interesting and profitable rally dur
ing last week that had for its object
the general improvement Of the MEM
bers intellectually and morally, and
the betterment Of the congregations

COMMUNITY LABOR BOARDS.

Community labor boards have been
organized during the present week in
Yorkville and Rock Hill to supervise
the labor situation in York county.
The Rock Hill board was organized
with r. Z. Barron as chairman; A. C..
Fcnnell, representing employers, and
Vance Whitesides, representing en-
ployes. The Yorkville board was or
ganized with Rev. f. f. Gillespie as
chairman; DR.. \. Y. Cartwright rep
rcsenting employers and J. G. Dickson
representing employees.
Barney $. Haynes. examiner In
charge Spartanburg, representing the
Federal department of labor. was pres
ent at the organization of these two
boards, and made full explanation as
to the powers. duties and objects.
In his talk to the people present at
the organization, Mr.. Haynes explain
ed that there is a shortage Of about
ten million common laborers in the
United States, and as the result Of this
shortage there Is tremendous compe-
ton and decentralization.
Explaining what he meant, with
concrete examples, Mr.. Haynes said
he knew of the case OF Spartanburg
negro who had been induced by a
labor agent to go to st. Louis. No
sooner had he arrived there than an
other took him to Detroit. Still an
other took him TO Nashville, another
to Cleveland, O., another to Chicago,
and he was landed back in Spartan
burg after six months of time and sew
eral thousand miles Of travel, with $50
in his pocket, and without his having
worked a day during his absence. He
told also of men having been taken by
the dozen from one place to another.
first by one labor solicitor and then
by another. without doing any work
for anybody. He knew of plenty Of
cases like this.
The government has already taken
over skilled labor and ii will soon take
over unskilled labor. When that hap
pens the different communities will be
called upon. each for its quota OF un-
skilled labor Each community will
be entitled to credit for the labor II
has sent abroad. whether the labor
went voluntarily or in compliance
with reGuisition requirements. and 1t
to compile a complete list of Its labor
ers. so 1t will be able to take credit
for such laborers as may have already
gone to work elsewhere.
The law, Mr.. Haynes explained, is
tightening up as to the matter of So
liciting labor. and 1t proposes that no
labor shall be diverted except with
the consent Of the community labor
boards. These boards are also to have
Jurisdiction over local labor, and are
to put a stop to the practice Of en-
ployers competing with each other for
labor by offering inducements and the

Just beyond Juvigny, during their
advance last week, the Americans cap
tured a German dressing station and
several wounded Germans and rescued
two wounded Americans The res
cued Americans lad had little food for
two days, and virtually no attention.
The Americans did not complain. how
ever, as the German wounded were not
given much attention either. This
was due to the confusion Of the re-
treat and the unusually great number
Of wounded Germans who poured into
the station as the Americans advanced.
In this dressing station were found
quantities Of French lace curtains
which had been cut into strips for
bandages, and also crepe paper used
for the same purpose. The lace had
taken by Germans from French
houses in various sections, sterilized
and medicated, cut into strips and roll
ed the same as regular bandages. Ex-
animation Of the lace left no question
of its origin. The Germans had eV-
IDENTIFY been obliged to use bandages Of
this type because Of the shortage Of
material in Germany.

of my opponents, and that have car
ried the county by a majority OF ap-
proximately two to one.

ficiency and loyalty to the Party and
the Administration and am delighted
with the result. have carried by ma
jority, over both Of my opponents, ff-
teen counties and have led the ticket
In every county in the State except five
or six, and go in the second race with
approximately ten thousand votes

pleasing features Of the election to me
is that have carried by majority ev-
