No Telephone Issue Imminent.

The rumor OF an imminent issue OF
100000 New York Telephone per
cent. bonds was current yesterday. but
1t proved unfounded. Such an issue was
considered last spring as a part OF the
financing plan for the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company for 1921.
but no decision was reached for such an
offering to the public beyond late fall
Circumstances indicate that nothing will
be done before November /. il then. The
successful stock issue by the parent COM
pany, which followed earlier sales of
bonds. put the telephone companies in a
cash position which promised to be COM
Portable until the end of this year.
Nevertheless an issue in late November
would cause no surprise.

He has not as yet been brought to
the penitentiary, but will likely ar
rive soon. He was convicted and
sentenced only last week. William
Thompson, Of Greenville, who killed
Policeman Burroughs, is in the death
house, under sentence of death, but an
appeal is postponing his doom. Ed
mund Bigham, of Florence, champs
at the bit on one of the death house
cells and declares his innocense. He
was convicted of killing his brother.
S. ]. Kirky, c. o. Fox and Jesse
Gappins, the famous murder trio"
who killed william BraZell, a Colum-.
bia taxi driver, are under appeals and
will die when these are decided, un-'
less the supreme court saves their
lives from a self confessed crime.
Abraham Williams of Orangeburgi
county, is due to die on December q
for criminal assault on young white
girl. Cliff Hawkins, of Greeryille, is
in the death house, for murder, but an
appeal which stayed his execution
has never been perfected, and he Is
now due to be resentenced. David
Brennan, Of Orangeburg, convicted in
1918 and sentenced to die, is still alive,
in the death house, awaiting the set
tiemert of his case blythe courts. His
appeal has been in the courts for three

the right in order to perpetrate n
wrong. They knew what they were
doing and did it deliberately. Take
the case of Tom Harrison, that low
down brute of Greenville who killed
his wife in order that ne might have
her sister. Everybody in Greenville
understood the case perfectly. Except
for a fearless upright judge his paid
lawyers would probably have establish
ed an acquittal on the foundation Of a
transparent lie. But even after his
conviction this man was allowed new
trial under the forms of law. His at
torneys for money became accessories
with him after the fact. Now, since
his release from the penitentiary he
has confirmed the alleged motive OF
the murder of his wife by living with
his wife's sister. Very likely the case
will go on until he is acquitted by due
process OF taw.' There is nothing the
matter with the Jaw, but there Is some
thing the matter with a system that
allows lawyers to become pariceps
crimnis with criminals without sub
jecting the lawyers to the same pun
ishment that is provided for other peo-
pie under the same circumstances.

No man who fails to pay his honest
debts can enjoy the fullest measure of
self-respect or the respect of his fellow
man. It is not intended to reflect
against the man who is in debt. The
man who does not from time to time
have occasion to use his credit is a
very poor man. All good men use their
credit both as a matter of convenience
and of necessity. But no good man
will swindle his creditor. He will
either pay his debts in full when due
or relieve his creditor of all ground for
the slightest apprehension as to the
honesty of his intention TO pay. The
man who pays or honestly intends to
pay is the equal of any man. But the
man who deliberately lodges his hon
est debts is no man at all. Everybody
knows the fact and he knows it as well
as anybody else. The man who does
pay his honest debts, or if unable to
pay, so conducts himself as TO retain
the confidence Of his creditors stands
higher in the estimation Of everybody
in every way, even than does the man
who never has occasion to owe any
thing

According to the view of The York
vile Enquirer the disarmament con-
ference will be largely renewal of the
Paris peace conference. The achieve
ments of the peace conference were
broken up by America for politica
reasons. Now it is realized that there
is no other way out of it except along
the lines agreed upon at Paris, and the
peace conference will either reach con-
clusions along those lines or break ur
in a row. If the conference does not
result in league of all nations it will
result in a new alliance of some of the
nations.

If Senator Thomas E. Watson had
not succeeded in stirring up something
unusual in the senate, the country
would have been surprised if not dis
appointed. But the senator has not
left any further room for surprise. lie
says that he has proof that men who
volunteered for service in the world
war and men who were conSsripted for
such service were hanged like dogs
without the semblance of trials; but
were strung up at daylight on authori-
ty of officers. The charge was denied
by other senators and q committee
was appointed to investigate Watson;
but Watson refuses to be investigated.
He says that he has proof plenty of
proof and that he will give it from the
floor of the senate so that the whole
country can know the facts. 1t is a
shaking situation of course and in
which the truth will never be Of
fcially admitted; but people who have
talked to service men arc led to believe
either that there is good foundation
for the charges that Watson makes or
that among the service men there are
lots of constituencies liars. That Wat
son has tho goods is very probable;
but that he will ever be allowed to
prove his charges is quite doubtful.
