SCOTT KILLED IN WRECK.
Greenville Officers Car Overturns.
Wife and Brother Hurt.

Greenville, Dec. 26.-Walter NJ.
Scott, judge of probate for Green
vile county, was instantly killed.; his
brother, w. Henry Scott, of Okla
homa, was seriously injured and his
wife was slightly hurt, when the au-
tomobile in which the three were
riding, overturned this morning on
the Augusta road, ten miles below
the city. Judge Scott, who is one of
the county's best known citizens, was
driving the car. In rounding curve,
the car slid into a deep gully, over
turning on the three occupants and
crushing Judge Scotss skull.
The judges brother and Mrs.
Scott are now in the City Hospital.
While Mrs. SCOTS condition seems
to be safe, that of the brother is re-
garded as critical.

$4,000 LOSS IN COTTON FIRE.
500 Bales and Part of Building De-
stroyed at Orangeburg.

Orangeburg, Dec. 26.-Orange-
burg's second cotton fire within the
past fortnight last night destroyed
about 500 bales and part of the
building of the Orangeburg Bonded
Warehouse Company here. The loss
of approximately $4,000, exclusive
of the building, is said to be covered
by insurance. Several freight cars
on siding were also destroyed by
the flames, but the Standard Oil Com
pany's tanks and the plant of the
Southern Cotton Oil Company, near
by, were saved.
Christmas fireworks is supposed to
have been the cause of the fire, the
blaze appearing to have it's beginning
on side of the warehouse which
was not provided with Prevails. The
building had been left in an unfin-
ished condition in the anticipation of
an addition being built and had only
board walls where the flames started.
The other recent cotton fire was at
the fair grounds where cotton held
by the Orangeburg Marketing Asso-
citation was consumed. This blaze is
supposed also to have been accidental
origin.

RIVER FLOWS UNDER CITY.
Made Peoria Biggest Distilling Center
in Country.

Peoria, ILL.,, Dec. 25.-FloWing at
some depth beneath the residence
and business section Of Peoria is a
large subterranean river, the exist
ence of which made Peoria the big
gest whiskey distilling center in the
country in pre-prohibition days.
The steram, which flows at right
angles beneath the Illinois river at
the edge Of Peoria, is of unknown
volume. More than a dozen wells
sunk through the bottom of the upper
river by distilleries to tap the sub
terranean body of water have failed
to diminish the flow of the lower
stream.
From these wells comes water of
unusual warmth and softness and it
is this water that drew the largest
distillers in the world to Peoria, as
we'll as several smaller ones. Prac-
tically free from acid and alkali the
water required no special treatment
before being fit for whiskey distilla-
ton purposes. For this reason dis
tilleries were able to operate here
at lower production cost than else
where and Peoria's corn grind for
the liquor made here became the
greatest in the country.

NO NEW TRIAL FOR GREEN.
Refusal by Georgia Court Of Appeals
Is Made.

Atlanta, Dec 23.-The Georgia
Court of Appeals today refused to
grant a new trial for William B.
Green, former vice president of the
Fairburn Banking company, who was
convicted last spring of embezzlement
and sentenced to five years imprison-
ment.
Green was vice president of the
bank when it's building was burned
in the fall of 1919 He was in the
building at the time and later said
that robbers entered the bank, bound
and gagged him, looted the safe and
then set fire to the structure. An
audit Of Green's books was said to
place Green's shortage in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
Mrs. Katherine Bradstreet, who
was jointly indicted with Green on
the embezzlement charge, was found
not guilty when she was tried a few
weeks after Green's conviction.

Genuine Surprise.

Tittleton, the tragedician boasted
that nature was his only teacher.
"Please tell me-" an admirer once
asked, "is that expression of aston
isment you assume in the second act
of your last play copied from ma
ture, too?"
,"It is,' said Tittleton But l had
no end of trouble to get it. To secure
that expression I asked an inmate
friend to loan me $50. He refused.
That caused me no surprise. l tried
several other friends. They refused.
Still l was not surprised. Finally |
asked one who was willing to oblige
me, and as he handed me the sum
studied in a glass the expression Of
my own face. l saw surprise there,
but not astonishment. It was alloyed
with the suspicion that the money
might be counterfeit. I was in des-
pair. Where should l find genuine
astonishment?
"Well," continued the admirer,
where did you get it,"
'"Then an idea struck me- the
tragedician said. Il resolved upon a
desperate course. I returned the $50
to my friend the next day, and on his
astounded countenance I saw the ex-
preston I sought

Goes Once Too Often.

Raleigh, N. c., Dec. pa thief
had been sneaking into the barn at
night and stealing milk from cow
owned by a Johnson county farmer.
The planter determined to put an end
to the culprit's depredations. A few
days ago the COW was transferred
from her regular stall and young
mule was substituted. One night
later, the farmer was aroused by a
terrific racket in the vicinity Of the
stable. He grabbed his shotgun and
ran to the barnyard, but the thief had
escaped, leaving a battered milk pail,
a small stool and a hat in the mules
stall. The visits Of the intruders
have ceased.

Well Matched.

Even as a boy, Oliver Goforth
was extremely volatile inter-
ested in any particular thing very
long at a time," related old Festus
Poster. His relatives feared that
his uneasy state of mind would cause
him unhappiness in the future. And
it did so for at the earliest oppor-
tunity he married a girl who was
just as unstable and jigger as he was.
Owing to their active natures and un-
settled dispositions they are both
kept on the Jump most of the time,
and their varied and assorted actions
prevent their married life from be-
ing in the least monotonous. Each
is continually anxious about the 9TH
er, for fear he or she will kill him
self or herself, as the case may be-,
by his or her own Stiffness, and so
each is constantly concerned and So
licitous about everything the other
does.
"An especially shining example OF
the vivacity of the life they lead is
found in the preparation of their dai-
ly food. Early in the game the fair
bride purchased a gigantic cookbook
and began to cook her way through
it, beginning with the AS and pro-
ceeding to cultivate onward down
the alphabet> toward lizard, taking
everything as it comes. This affords
her pleasure, for the novelty pre-
vents the homely task from palling
on her. She never attacks the same
dish twice, and there is always the
delight of essaying something new.
And Oliver never cloyed, is religious
ly eating the fresh and unique pro-
ductions that are set before him, al
ways happy at being confronted with
something different. And the funny
part is that they are both actually
growing fat on their fOolishness.

NATIVE folks Again and again, wo-
men of Langley asked to have the
windows curtained Nothing happen
ed. So they went down and soaped
the glass. The soap is gone but the
windows no more allow sight of the
long narrow boxes for the dead.
1t should be said that the town
government does not absolutely ban
the men. A man is still allowed to
be the policeman of the town. A
woman has applied for the place
however, and was amply qualified
for the position which involves
merely inpounding COWS and super
vising some road work. But it was
considered policy to have mascu-
line arm of the law. When an at
torney is needed the help of a man
from outside the city is called in to
give legal advice.
Everybody Seems Pleased.
At the end of the city clerks rec
ords, Of last year and at the begin
ming of this years records of the
women's is posted the verse:
Running EN- Ragged"
Its quite the rule for gentlemen
To give their seats to ladies fair;
But gosh it's tough on mayors, when
The ladies want the mayors chair
1t may be SO. But the rest of
Langley seems now quite happy with
the present arrangement of things
and reports about the town say Miss
Coe and the others of her council
will be reelected.

Scatter Warnings to White and
Blacks in City.

Columbus, Ca, Dec. 25.-White-
robed figures paraded some of the
streets of the city tonight, scattering
warning circulars to the loafers and
undesirable class of citizens. Many
negroes fled in terror, seeking cover
in the dark sections of the city.
The notice read:
warning! Undesirable, both white
and black, we are after you. We
know you-take warning-this loaf
ing, thieving and prowling around
has got to stop. Ku Klux.'

J MCDOWELL SCHOOL.

There should be generous and
prompt response from the patrons
and friends OF the ninth district school
to the appeal that will soon be made
for funds to erect new school
house. The snintl%ss district school.
known locally as Mcdowell, has long
been housed in a building that is
nothing less than a reproach to the
people of the community. "A com,
munity chat makes no better proyi-
sion for the education Of its young
than to furnish them building that
is hardly as convenient and comfort
able as many barns in the county
should not hesitate to make some sac
rifices to improve these conditions.
And The Herald believes that this
will be done. 1t feels confident that
the good peole of the ninth district
will make generous response to the
appeal for $4,000 to match the $780,
900 appropriated by the county.

are many of the other color who
would ease up bit on their daily

session Of several hundred dollars.
Representative Padgett, of this dis
trict, voted against the bonus bill.
In doing SO he unquestionably reflect
ed the overwhelming sentiment of
the people Of this district. In Maury
county there is practically no support
for the bonus BIZ. From the battle
scared veterans Of the Confederacy
on down to those III the present gen
Grafton sentiment is overwhelmingly
against the bonus plan. 1t required
courage for Mr. Padgett to break
with the majority OF his party asso.
ciates and oppose the measure. and
for SO doing he is entitled TO the
thanks of his constituents.

acquisition of the Philippine Islands
about as far away from our shores as
Armenia. But the folks refused to get
excited and wesstil have, th9se-istands.
American rule there of the past TWEEN
ty odd years has been benediction
to the islands and a blessing to the
world. 1t would doubtless be the
case with Armenia, but in the present
temper of the American people it is
idle to expect approval of the presi-
dents altruistic appeal.
1t is, however, grossly unfair and
wholly untrue to charge that the
Presidents recommendation is the re-
suit cf any sinister design on the part
OF Great Britain. THIS charge is made
by Senator Shields. whose breach
with the President continues to widen.
President Wilson is true and loyal
American and he is not going to pull
the chestnuts for any nation at the
expense Of his own country. There
are not many republicans even who
would make such charge against the
Chief Executive.

Morris father was away from home

brothers were in France and she man
aged, directed and worked big farm
She rode the reapers, the mowers and
the drills. She personally attended
to erery detail of the management
and when necessary she pailed the
cows and wormed the tobacco. After
her achievements had been described
to the meeting Miss Morris was given
genuine ovation by the farmers.

COMMUNITY RALLY.

/ II there were more community field
days like that celebrated at Enter
prise last Saturday Maury county's
rural sections would make greater
progress. It Is only by cooperation,
by pull together that the people of
any community make progress. II
there had ever been any reason to
doubt the effectiveness of co-opera-
tion in pulling community tosa bet
ter standard the experience of the
people of Enterprise during the past
five years would completely remove
It. 1t has been been by just such get
together meetings as they enjoyed
last Saturday that they have reached
the present point OF high develop
ment. They would never have had
the beautiful school grounds. the at
tractive little school house and very
much improved road to the outside
world IL there had not been mutual
cooperation and q pull together for
the common interest.

THE BONUS gill.

Had there. been secret vote on
the soldier bonus bill in the house of
representatives 1t is doubtful II 1t
would have received hundred votes
instead of the more than two-thirds
majority by which 1t was passed.
There is no real nation wide demand
for soldier bonus measure Many of
the ex-service men, the direct bene-
ficiaries of legislation of this eharac-
ter frankly oppcsed the bill The
taxpayers who are already groanips
under such a burden OF taxation as
was never contemplasesf ftssuredb,
opbose It. Reprssentsfi voted for
the bill because OF a partisan and
demogogic desire to corral the So
der and sailor vote. But they are
going to fail in this, the soldier vote
Is not going to be cast en- masse for
any party or candidate
The national treasury is in no sort
of shape for an additional burden of
a billion and half or two billions of
dollars. With the government already
running behind its budget. with the
war burden the chief contributing
cause of the high cost: Of living. with
man power already short in essential
and productive enterprises. the enact
ment of cash bonus legislation is not
to be justified.
Ample provision should be. made
for all soldiers and sailors who were
disabled in any way as The result OF
their war experience. No one viii
begrudge dollar expended for their
relief, but to give cash bonuses In
