rabbit hunters of Yorkville, who make
an annual pilgrimage to the Darby
farm about Christmas every year to
hunt rabbits. The outlook for good
hunting this Christmas is good and
tie hunters are getting ready to petit
ton Mr.. Darby not to do away with
the rabbits until they get there.

into southern outskirts of Iorkville
Yesterday evening ut about dark and
at this writing is rolling along up to-
ward GaStonia, y. c.
The heavy contingent began leaving
the Chester Fairgrounds yesterday
morning at about 1870 and all of 1t
was on the way by noon, the supply
trucks Icing we'll in advance and the
guns coming along behind.
The supp,y trucks to the number or
fifteen or twenty have no trouble IN
moving along ut whatever speed IS
desired up To about fifteen miles an
hour: tut the big guns drawn by
caterpillar tractors, have To trlNel
more slowly, and because of more or
lc@s constant engine and other trOu-
L!as. have To make frequent stops.
liz all thcr" arc sixteen guns in the
convoy. eight six inch rifles and eight
cight-inch howitZers. The guns with
their carriages and platforms weigh
out fourteen tons each, and the big
tractors weigh from ten to seventeen
tons.
The officers in charge of the convoy
are as follows:

has been manager of what is known as
John T. Roddeys Spencer place and in
that capacity had been giving entire
satisfaction TO his employer. Recently,
however, he had been showing evidence
of an unbalanced mind to an extent
that made it necessary to send him to
the state hospital for the insance.
In connection with the peculiar con-
duct of Mr.. Sanders, leading up to his
commitment to the asylum, it is stated
that some time back nc began showing
grcaa unoaSineSs about the coming of
the boil weevil. He talked to Mr..
ROddey about the matter and made
clear his very great concern as to what
would, become of the farmers when
they could no longer raise cotton. Al
though as yet without any suspicion
as to. the mans condition Mr.. Roddey
assured him that he had no cause to
worry about the Wcevil; that he was
working on salary; that the operation
of the farm would continue with him
as manager and That he would set his
salary whether there was &ny cotton
made or not. a little later he got out
his automobile-a good machine in
first ClaCS condition, poured kerosene
over it and laughed and grinred with
maniacal glee while it was being con-
sumCd by the flames. This and other
incidents led to his being sent to the
asylum, and for some reason he was
brought back home last Sunday.
Having been left alone for a little
while Tuesday night, he took hiJ shot
gun, attached a wire to the triggers,
seated himself on the side of a bed,
and with the muzzle of the gun to his
forehead managed to discharge both
barrels, with the result already stated.

\ statement in the newspapers to
the effect that Edward f. McSwceney,
chairman of the Knights Of Columbus
American History commission will Up
pose in this country the celebration OF
the anniversary Of the signing Of the
Magma Charta, leaves us in doubt as
to what might be his motive. The
signing of the Magma Charta by King
John at Runnymcde on June 10, 1"l5,
is undoubtedly one of the most notable
events in the history Of the English
speaking people. 1t is true that all the
guarantees Of this great bill Of rights
have never been fully lived up to; but
nevertheless they have been q price
less contribution to human liberty. Mr..
McSweency is quoted as saying that
observance in America of the anni-
Charta would dctraCt from the signi-
liCance Of the Fourth Of July and that
suggests Il possibility of what might
be the matter with Father McSwCeney.
There used to live n YOrkvillc an
Irishman who, when well liquored up
for the occasion would always stoutly
maintain that st Pat"ick's day was Il
better man than the Fourth of July
ever was" Or maybe Brother Nc
Sweeney objects to the Magma Charta
because it has always been a lie, in so
far as Ireland was concerned. If this
be his objection, it will have to be ad-
mittcd that his ground is we'll taken;
but nevertheless the signing of the
Magma Charta will continue as most
important event in the history Of all
English speaking peoples.

the York township half of the link be-

road, a distance of about three
hundred yards. The road dips down
steep hills to runway in which there
is bad culvcrt. The Kings Mountain

good condition.; but the York township
half is simply dangerous. There is one
place where the, banks have eaved to
an extent that leaves the road too
narrow for the passage of two cars,
