YoRkvlLLE MAN RECEIVERS RING

David Krivis of the firm Of Feinstein
& Krivis, merchants OF Yorkville, is in
Charlotte today to testify against a
negro porter formerly employed in
the Stonewall Hotel who is charged
with the theft of a diamond ring valu-
ed at $3.50 which was stolen from Mr..
Krivis while guest at the Charlotte
hotel Sunday, a week ago.
: According to Mr.. Krivis, he left the
ring in his room and did not miss 1t
until he returned to Yorkville. He
telephoned the hotel seeking informa-
ton, feeling sure that he had left 1t
there Instead of going to look him.
SELF the hotel clerk sent negro
porter into the room to find the ring.
The negro reported that there was no
ring in the room.
Krivis had notified the Chalottc
police and pawn brokers, and one day
last week when a negro attempted to
get q pawnbroker to put q valuation
on diamond ring he wore, the pawn
broker managed to stall him off until
he could call q policeman.
The ring, 4 handsome solitaire is
again on Krivis's finger and he eX-
poets that as a result Of the testimony
that he will give today the negro vii!
assist in road building in the county
of NIecklenburg in the state OF North
Carolina for Il period Of not less than
two and not more than five years.

It has originated a number Of stories
in connection with the matter, and this
McLaurin story was probably launched
without a shadow Of substantial foun-
dation, merely for the purpose Of con-
fusing the situation.
Then last there has come out story
from Columbia to the effect that one

several years, and who has an eye or

CATION that secured the recognition OF
the national Republican executive COM

OF course all these stories as to VINO
is going to control the patronage are
interesting, especially interesting te
those who are more or less concerned
about the matter, and while The YORK
vile Enquirer does not pretend to any
inside dope on the subject, it would
suggest that until there is more defin'
ite and certain information to go on
those who are betting on Tolbert ane
his associates are most likely to have
picked the winners

PASSING TO THE PAGEANT.

Yorkville people who for one reason
or other missed going to, Winthrop last
Friday, did not entirely escape the at
mosphere of the great pageant.
Cars were passing backward and for
ward through the town all day. AT
times during the noon hour streams OF
cars poured into East Liberty street
from the west, north and south that
was suggestive Of the traffic Of a large
city.
The passing cars came from Green
vile, Anderson, Laurens, Spartanburg,
Cherokee, Union and other South Caro-
lima counties, and from Mecklenburg,
CASTOR Cleveland and other counties
in North Carolina, many of them com
ing more than $50 miles. While there
was no effort to count the cars, their
number certainly ran into the nun
dredS.
Quite a large number Of the passers
by stopped here for refreshments botn
coming and going and the Shandon ho-
tel cafe was pretty we'll crowded prac-
tically all day. The other eating places
and the soda fountains also got consid-
erable PATRONAGE
The gas stations also did considera
BILE business.

short stop in town to pass greetings
with friends. Mr.. Wilkins has recently
been through q long siege of illness IN
a Charlotte hospital; but is now get
ting along nicely although he says that
he still lacks a great deal Of having
come back to his former self again.
Mr.. w. .. Thackston, Of Greenville,
was among the visitors to Yorkvilie
last Sunday on account Of the pilgrim
age to the Church Home orphanage.
Mr.. Thackston will be remembered by
most of. the older citizens Of the town
as the first superintendent of the York
vile Graded school on the establish
ment of that institution thirty-tWo
years ago. Upon him devolved the task
of getting the new institution in good
working order and he achieved the un-
dertaking in a manner which, under
the circumstances was quite remarka-
ble.\ Mr.. Thackston gave up school
teaching shortly after finishing MS
work here, and for many years past
has been one of the leading business
men and most prominent citizens OF
the city Of Greenville.

GENERAL. RERlANlING.

Not less than so per cent of the cot
ton of York county has been and is be-
ing replanted and it is probable that
before the crop is we'll on its way the
replanting will reach rs per cent.
1t is the same story for all parts OF
the county and from all kinds of land,
red, mulatto sandy and blackjack.
Where the cotton was planted during
the first two weeks Of April 1t has been
doing no good. Some of it broke
through the top surface, some OF 1T
sprouted and curled up under without
breaking through and some of 1t come
up and died. 1t is the common opinion
that the cold weatherfwas the cause.
People who have planted within the
past two weeks, are for the most part
still waiting results hopefully. Some
have stands but they are few and far
between. Most of those who planted
previous to two weeks ago arc planting
again, and planting is going on almost
as generally as during the first part OF
April
1t is recalled that the crop was late
in 1911. It was June before cotton gen.
orally had come to a stand; but never
theless there was large crop that
year.

WITHIN THE TOWN

This town is in need Of more
streets.
Mothers Day was pretty generally
recognized Sunday by the wearing or
white flowers for mothers who are dead
and red flowers for mothers who are
living.
Chief Of Police Ed Steele, Police
man Jack McCarter and Magistrate
Fred Black flushed a party Of poker
players in the Charlotte woods Sun
day. Three Of them, all white, were
captured and paid fines. Two escap-
ed by making line drives through the
woods, and the policemen didn't have
a chance to take them.
DIR. A. Y. Cartwright and associates
have decided to lend to the town for a
playground, about five acres Of the
.oLeary property, including the old
spring. The plot is located. just with
out the northeastern corporate limits
and being well wooded is delightful
place for picnics. Also there Is plenty
Of water and a good site for much
needed swimming pool.
A Ford touring car in use a few
weeks ago as carrier Of moonshine
liquor and which was captured while
engaged in that business by Sheriff
Fred Quinn and other officers, will
now be used by an officer in attempt
ing to catch other Fords used in the
same work. The captured Ford which
was sold at auction by the sheriff be-
fore the courthouse door Friday morn
ing was bought by Constable R. F. Lee
Of York township who bid SITS for 1t.
Episcopalians Of Upper South
Carolina to the number Of about 400
were in Yorkville Sunday on account
of Pilgrimage Day to the Church
Home Orphanage. Most Of the visi--
tors of the occasion came BY automo-
bile returning to their respective
homes late in the afternoon: A fea-
ture of the occasion was the presence
of the choir Of the Church Of the Ad-
vent (Episcopal) of Spartanburg,
which furnished music for the occas-
ion. A bounteous basket dinner was
served on the Orphanage grounds
shortly after the noon hour. In the
afternoon an inspection Of the orphan
age buildings and grounds was made
by the visitors, many of whom saw the
property for the first time. A num-
Der of speeches were delivered in the
afternoon, among the speakers being
Bishop Kirlman G.. Finlay of Column
bia; Christie Bennett, Esq, of Column
bia; w. B. Moore Of Yorkville; Aug
W. Smith of Greenville and Rev. T. T.
Noe, superintendent Of the Church
Home Orphanage. At the meeting
Sunday it was decided to make such
Pilgrimage to the Church Home an
annual affair.

other errors that might hold out as a
Stacker some soldier who performed
full service. The legal department OF
the government gave out a ruling IN
which it held that there would be no
al'liability in cases where the news
papers were not responsible for the er-
rors; but this did not settle the ques-
ton. 1t is pointed out that in the list
of service men there are hundreds of
cases where a dozen or more have en-
actly the same name, and it is certain
also that men who Stacked have identi-
cal names with other men who served.
Among the list of slackers in one Ben
jamin Kaufman, of Brooklyn, and in
this same city of Brooklyn there is an
ther Benjamin Kaufman who.is within
a few months Of being the same age as
the other, and who is wearing a medal
Of honor for heroic service rendered in
the Argonne. On the entire list there
are 1888 men bearing the name of
Kaufman. It is known that there are
many cases Of actual deserters who re-
ceived honorable discharges, and many
cases Of men who gave faithful service
who are down on the records as desert
ers. Many Of the newspapers of the
country are unable to see why tney
should incure responsibility in the pub
lication Of such lists, and the solution
Of the whole problem is probably found
in a resolution passed by the house the
other day to print the entire list in the
Congressional Record

Federal atronage.

The many conflicting stories OF the
nrobubl control Of the Federal patron
age in South Carolina are confusing
mystifying or amusing according to the
noltical knowledge and experience OF
the onlooker
we have been told in the papers that
los. w. Tolbert, Of Ninety-SiX, has the
full recognition of the dominant Re-
publican organization, and the proha-
bility is that this will be found to be
correct; but until the matter is finally
settled by the announcement OF recon-
mcndations Of South Carolina appoin-
tees sent into the senate, there Will be
a continual muddying OF the waters.
Following what seemed to be an au-
thoritative announcement that Mr.. Tol-
bert was the man, there came a. letter
from Tom Miller setting forth most
convincingly and insidiously TO the I'M
initiated rs how there is really no Re
publican party in the state that is
worthy of the name and urging the
president to wait until things develop
before taking final action.
The significance Of A1iller's letter was
construed variously by different people,
and many took it rs Il matter OF course
that what the notorious old-time negro
leader said would carry decisive con-
clusions. Others more or less familiar
with the long continued contest pc
tween the Miller and Tolbcrt wings Oh
the party sized up the Miller letter dit
fercntly. They construed this move To
mean that since Miller had been whip
ped in the convention and elsewhere
and he could no longer hope for 1lnal
success himself, he was only concern
cd that Tolbcrt should not get 1t.
Next came out Il story from the CO.
lumbia Record TO the effect that former
Senator John l.. McLHurin would be
the official patronage dispenser. IIIe
Record has all along been taking more
interest in Tic latrnnaS" subject l'lah

Trouble With England.

The labor troubles IN England are ol
the same general nature as IN the
United States, except that England is
suffering from a more aggravated con-
dition of a world common complaint.
Englands social organization con-
sists of a nobility, a middle class and
prolotariat class.
Each of these classes is graded IN
about tire same proportion as The oth-
ers, with upper crust average ana
hanging on by the eyelids.
Generally speaking the nobility had
everything it wanted, including money
power and social prestige. The middle
class had mainly money power footlng
un in the aggregate more than that OF
the noble class, and therefore ease anu
luxury in large measure.
The proletariat ranged from COM
Portable livers down to the poverty
stricken, according to individual indus
try, intelligence and physical health
The war took ava the noble class
and pretty we'll thinned that class out
after which it made proportionately
large drafts on the middle and lower
classes.
But the most important and signlh-
can't DEVELOPMENT was the necessity OF
stimulating labor with high wages
which high wages gave labor such an
opportunity for luxury as it had never
known before and also stimulated
taste for luxury.
If labor had been provident and eco
nomical while times were good, IT coulei
have improved its condition perhaps
but it was not. 1t spent its princely
wages as rapidly as it received treH
and never got anywhere much eVcep'
into q state Of increased requirements
But since the war, labor has not been
able to understand why it should MOI
be paid as much noW as previously aho
it has not been willing to work for less
than it used to get.
With the cessation Of labor, the re-
sources Of the other classes have nota-
bly benc reduced in proportion; ne-
couse without labor there can be nc
wealth or luxury.
The wealthicr classes arc unable to
figure out how they can give laool
what it demands and at the same time
continue in the enjoyment of the supe-
rior advantages it has heretofore en-
loved. because as matter Of fact the
thing canot be done. Labor is not WILL
ing to give up that which it believes
is it's God-given right and hence the
deadlock.
England seems to be confronted with
the alternative of leveling up or level
ing down. Either that, or the proleta-
,iot MUST be beaten oh starved PACK
into its old relation, q process which Is
not now recommending itself as either
fc or pleasant.

ficers believe the presence of an Amer
ican representative at that meeting
will serve to strengthen the position of
the United States and facilitate fl
nal settlement of the question. There
was only passing reference in the
senate today to the Acceptance of the
invitation Of the supreme council for
American representation on the three
allied bodies. During debate on the
emergency tariff bill, Senator Harri-
son, Democrat, Mississippi, said that
by sending the invitation the allies
were merely rubbing it in on the
United States for "descrting them.'
He also charged that in accepting the
invitation, the administration had
"swtched on it's foreign policy. There
was no reply from the Republican side.

During the late national campaign
The Yorkvillc Enquirer took occasion
TO observe that the league OF nations
idea would materialiZe to greater or
less extent whichever side should win.
That fact seemed to be evident. Amer
ica was already so tangled with the AL
lies that there seemed to be but one
way out-an alliance with Germany
and that, under the circumstances, was
unthinkable. But the league OF ma
tions idea as embodied in the treaty
seems calculated to make Of America
policeman to compel obedience to the
selfish desires Of England and France
and that will never do. The task OF
the American government now is to cut
itself loose from its present cItanSle-
mcnt. and how long tkat will take no
man cas- tell.
