HERE AND THERE.

[ Quite a number of York county peo-
pie, especially from the Bethesda Sec
tion, are attending each night the
evangelistic meeting that is being con-
Quoted in Chester by Gypsy Smith. Jr.
The meeting Is being held in large
tent which is crowded at almost every
service, people from miles around be-
ing in attendance.
"They have government cotton
grader on the Job down at Laurens
this year." remarked a we'll known
York county man who recently return
ed from a businesss trip to Laurens
and that section Of the state. "The
result is that the farmers in that sec
tion are having their cotton graded as
1t should be and are getting q nice
price that is far in excess Of anything
that they ever knew before the grader
came there. And some of the cotton
buyers over that way are saying that
they never knew the staple to be as
long as 1t is this year."
Ben Levy of Yorkville went to Char
lotte Wednesday evening to observe
with friends Rosh Hashanah. the fes-
tival of the Jewish New Year. The
festival commenced at sunset on Tues
day, all Jewish holidays commencing
at sunset en- the preceding day. The
festival of the new year is one Of The
most important in the whole Jewish
calendar. 1t is the first day Of the SER
les of holidays lasting NEARLY month.
Apart from its joyful and festive ma
ture, Rosh Hashanah is rich in moral
import and significance and the fact
that 1t is the beginning of a new year
lends it special sacredness.

There is deadlock on between the
house and senate over the provisions
of bill to enforce the prohibition
laws. The house Is inclined to pass a
law which. will largely. require the ac-
cused to prove himself innocent and
the senate is insisting on the. preser-
walton of the time, honored' principle
of .presuming the innocense of the ac-'
cused until he has been convicted. It
is expected that the conferees of the
two houses viii shortly reach an
agreement; but in any event the laws
for the enforcement Of prohibition are
expected to be quite drastic.

The commission in charge of the
mem orial fund campaign provided for
by the last General assembly at the In
stance of certain Columbia people un-
der the leadership of Governor Mann
ing are asking York county to raise
s13,S75, of the modest little sum Of
100000 that Is being asked for. This
idea originated with Hon. John E. Car
roll, superintendent of education for
York county, who launched it:with the
suggestion that the respective counties
honor their soldiers with executive
education buildings with rooms set
apart for suitable memorials for the
county3 soldiers in the world war:
The idea, Of course was to have these
buildings serve double purpose-the
purpose Of keeping records Of the SOL
diers and the purpose Of furthering
educational work. The first man who
settled in Columbia after the removal
Of the capital to the banks Of the Con-
garee conceived the idea of q nice thing
it would be to build up great city
there for the benefit Of the local resi-
dents at the expense of the people Of
the state, and that has been the Col
umbia idea ever since. South Carolina
has spent millions for the benefit of
Columbia, under one pretext and
another, and it is about time that the
people of tho state should be getting
their eyes open. We have no idea that
the people of York county are going
to contribute s13,S75 for the purpose
Indicated but If they do make such
contribution we think they will be
justified in demanding that the money
building for the use OF York county
soldiers and their descendants.

ment. The reference is to the great
issue as to where the rights Of the
employer begin and end and where the
rights of the employe begin and end, nd
There is right and wrong involved IN
the matter, some right and some wrong
on both sides, and the final outcome
of the struggle, some time, will be ad-
justmcnt, AS matters stand, one view
has it that the employer who pays the
money he's all the say about how
long the employe is to work, how
much he Is be paid, and If the empioye
does not like 1t he can look elsewhere
for a job. The other view has it that
the employe has a right to say about
working hours, wages and other
matters, and that he has the same
right to be represented through duly
constituted spokcsmen as have MS
employers. Mr.. Gary the head OF the
United States Steel corporation has
declined to allow the employees to speak
through representa- tires. insisting on
his right to deal with each employe, as
an Individual, and, this is the fight. II
the: union employees win they will then
proceed to lay down. their terms, con-
.ditions, of labor, wages. hours, etc.
and If the employers win the system
that has prevailed for so long, In fact
since the beginning of time, will con;
tinue as heretofore. possibly with
some notifications. But is likely that
there will be serious times Of 1t be-
fore the issue is finally settled. There
is q possibility that, organized workers
in many other industries :. may take
part, and there may be rioting, des-
truction of property, bloodshed and
maybe something akin to civil war. i
is o serious, very serious situation that
the country is facing and to handle u
as it should be handled. representatives
of employers and employees as well as
those who have charge OF the admin
istration Of the government have need
of all the wisdom and prudence that
they can possibly bring to bear.

The traditional dignity of the
United States senate was thrown to
the winds last Monday during the
speech of Senator Reed OF Missouri,
on the League of Nations. Applause
has always been taboo in the sena-
torial galleries until the treaty dis
cussion commenced. Also heretofore
treaties have been discussed only be-
hind closed doors. But the galleries
have been taking part in this dis
cussion. Some weeks ago. Vice Presi-
dent Marshall asked the senate to
state its pleasure with regard to ap-
plause. He said that SO far as be
personally was concerned. he did not
care one way or the other; but II the
senate should so express itself, he
would see that there was no applause.
The senate did not express itself. After
Senator Reed had been speaking for
two hours, the galleries began to ap-
plaud vigorously and they kept it up.
After Senator Reed had concluded
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of Ari-
zona made a few remarks in which he
condemned the disorder OF the gal
leries and he was roundly hissed
Some effort was made to Identify the
hissers for the purpose of removing
them; but the effort failed.

on the floor of the house few days
ago, Congressman Hastings, of Okla

who lost their lives in various battle
fields during the world war at 1885,

While, of course, 1t is impossible to
predict the final outcome of the
great steel strike now on, it is hardly
wise to ignore serious possibilities of
it. There have been strikes and
strikes in the past, and there will no
doubt be strikes and strikes in the
future. 1t would not be fair to say
that any strike of the past has ever
been definitely successful in securing
the specific ends demanded. 1t would
be equally unfair to say that en-
ploycrs have ever won a complete vic

anger or petulent dissatisfaction are
