BRITISH PRESS OPINION
Important Newspapers Commend De-
clarations of..Mr. Harvey.

Two very cordial editorials. were
included, in London's Friday morning
newspaper comment on the address
made by George Harvey, United
States ambassador Great Britain,
on Thursday night. They were pub
lished in the Morning Post. which
never favored the League Of Nations
and the Daily Telegraph The Post
says Premier LloydyGeorge'si assertion
that the future wellfbeing Of the world
depends mainly on) Anglo American
friendship and cooperation was true.
and 1t continued: ~ ::
"Thi- being so, the, League of Ma.
tions cannot, as we have been told
rather frequently, be the only one uni
que guarantee Of the future peace Of
the world"
Referring to Anglo American rela-
tions the paper declared nothing in
recent years more; thoroughly dissi-
pated misunderstanding than Presi-
dent HardinGs memorial statement of
American policy, to which Mr.. Har-
vey referred during his speech.
THE British public" the newspap-
er added, may well wish the policy
of the British government was as de-
finite and simple as that Of America"
The Daily !, Telegraph's comment,
which was largely personal aopre-
citation of Ambassador. Harvey, cordI-
ally agreed it was high time to give
the quietus to- the. idea that. the Uni
ted States may yet be beguiled into
the league" ,....4r A.. .,a. 81. .......-.
The Daily ,, News, continuing its
championship of the league Of nations,
remarked that the English league of
nations union had, just attained q
membership Of, 100000 and said there
was no need i. to take Mr.. Harvey's
words too tragically."
Assuming that the United States
will keep out of: the. league during the
term of President Harding, the news
paper said this would be matter of
grave regret but it will mean, at the
worst, that the league will go on with
out the United States, as it has done
hitherto. :. :.

-"Guilty Of manslaughter" was the
jury's verdict and four and half years
in the state penitentiary or on the pub
lie works of Greenville county, was the
sentence OF the court shortly before
midnight Saturday in the case Of Wal
ter Salmon, 26, charged with murder
in connection with the killing on Mo-
vember 5, 1920, Of Asa Flinkenschelt,
36,. "a farmer Of Greenville county. The
case went to the jury at o'clock Sat-
urday night, the verdict coming after
a deliberation Of over four and a half
hours. During the entire time the jury
was in deliberation the courtroom was
filled with people awaiting the verdict.
Salmon himself was the feature wit
ness in the trial Saturday, the defend
ant telling his story of the killing at
the Flinkenschelt home, in the suburb
of Greenville on November Of last
year. Salmon. said that he brought 80
gallons of liquor to Greenville from
Kings Mountain, n. C., early in that
week, and that he turned this whisky
over to. Flinkenschelt, who contracted
to pay $500 for it. Salmon said that,
later in the week, he had returned to
the Flinkinschelt home, that the farmer
did not seem anxious to settle the debt
but that his wife gave him the money,
and that, as he was leaving the house,
Flinkenschelt held him up with shot
gun and demanded the money. Salmon
said that Flinkenschelt fired twice up
on him, after which he in defense Of his
own life, fired the four shots which
were fatal to the Greenville man. Sal
mon said that was the first time he had
ever had any dealings in liquor and
that he did so because he needed the
and because Mrs. Alice Aiken,
the woman who was, with him in the
car and who was one Of the states star
told him Flinkenschelt would
be glad to buy the whisky. Salmon said
that he came to Greenvlle from Nor
canton, N. c., in an automobile owned
by his mothet-in- law, Mrs. Alice Du-
ray. .,,..., .

If the league Of nations were a Dig

what is it for? On the other hand
if the league Of nations cannot

for delay; but the most likely reason
is that the irresponsible campaign
declarations which seemed so admira-
bly, calculated to stimulate a hurrah
among sympathetic voters, do not so
well become administrative RESPONSE
bility.
1t was all very we'll to shout for i'm
mediate and unqualified peace; but in
the light Of the grim reality Of law,
precedent and unadjusted complica-
tions, the thing could not be accom-
plished at once.
For one thing an unqualified peace
resolution would not only have put
America in a most awkward position
with reference to her associates in the
war; but in hardly less awkward
position with reference to her former
enemy.
For instance America holds many
millions of dollars worth Of property
that belongs to German and other
enemy nations. The only excuse for
the holding Of this property is the
existing estate of war; and the renoy-
al of this condition would involve the
turning loose of this property without
legal means for equitable adjustments.
The treaty of Versailles contains ad-
vantages to the victorious sgners
thereof that cannot be ignored even by
the United States, except with present
and future embarrassment. These ad-
vantages are SO bound and wound up
in the League Of Nations covenant, as
to make the acceptance Of one without
the other almost hopeless. But at the
same time it is quite obvious that
these advantages should not be de-
lberately sacrificed without some ef-
fort to save them.
The understanding now is that the
house committee on foreign affairs will
not report out the Knox peace resolu-
ton at least until after June L. and
not then unless the Germans meet
their first big installment on their re-
parations bill, for the United States is
still definitely and irrevocably COM
mitted to the proposition that Germany
must pay.
In the meantime the house commit
tee on foreign relations is still working
on the peace resolution to the end OF
trying to save for the United States
as much Of the advantages Of the
treaty of Versailles as it is possible to
save.
But it seems to be thoroughly un-
derstood that the United States is not
going to become one of the guarantors
of the League Of Nations.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1921-05-24

These facts in connection with Ed
ward Douglass White, who died in
Washington on; last Thursday morn
ing, are worthy Of especial and lasting
memory: That he was a Southerner,
q native of Louisiana, Confederate
veteran, a lifelong Democrat, who
served several terms in the United
States senate, and who was appointed
to the chief justiceship by William
Howard Taft, Republican president.
In view Of the fact that the chief JUS
ticeship of the United States carries
with it more power and authority than
does any other judicial position on
earth, it will have to be conceded that
the Northern Republican who appoint
ed a Southern Democrat to that posi-
ton is plenty big enough to.fill the job
himself.

HOPE FOR THE BRIDGE

The following is from the Charlotte
Observer of this morning:
The Mecklenburg- York bridge over
the CataWba river seems nearer rean-
zation now than it ever has before.
Judge II. P. Lane has declared Meek
Ienburp's bonds valid, amounting 10
$50. 900 and the case is now in the su-
prerne court for decision this week. A
supreme court decision is looked lor
within the next two or three days.
Under a general legislative act al
lowing the county commissioners 10 Is
sue bonds to construct bridges over
rivers that Joined state lines, the coun-
ties of York and Mecklenburg agreed
IN build O. bridge at Buster Boyds
site. between the two counties. YORK
was to pay one-third the cost ana
Mecklenburg two-thifds, this being
sed on population. York's money IS
now ready for use, and all prelimln-
aries Of importance have been passed
on with favor.
In Mecklenburg the issue has oeen
long discussed and the county conllnis-
sioners have passed all legal prellmin-
aries to sell $4,000 bonds to bear TINS
county's part of the COST.
Later action was brought first IN su-
perior court and later in the supreme
court by a taxpayer, to test the act as
To its validity, the action by the TAX
payer being to restrain the county Aro'ii
offering these bonds for sale.
The matter was heard before Judge
Lane recently, and he rendered oe-
cision that the bonds were valid. rms
nuts the matter Of the MecklenpuFs.
York bridge into the supreme court
whence a decision may come soon. me
supreme court has made speclai
a agreement to take up this matter very
soon if it is presented in pamphlet
form and hackers Of the bridge pro
gram are seeing that the issue IS at
Tended to and all interested IN the case
agreed to the printed briefs.
The attorneys in the case are Clark-
son. Taliaferro & Clarkson and Cansler'
Cansler & Cansler.
The supreme court agreed to dispose
of the case this week If the briefs ar
rived in time and they are probably IN
Raleigh now. IT.
The proposed bridge has been dis
cussed for five or six years ana mas
been under official notice for ABOUT
three years. York had her part or tne
agreement passed upon soon atter the
issue was taken up, but Mecklenpurg
went up against several issues that re-
tarded her union with York IN the
building of the bridge.
