been II time when there were more
unpleasant rumors in circulation. than
now. The activities OF the half baked
sneaks who find pleasure in imagining
calamities that could occur to men and
women for whose standing and posi-
tion they entertain feelings Of envy
and putting those feelings into circu-,
lation as ,rumors seem to have never
been more numerous.
Just following the big slump in the
price of cotton last fall, there went
abroad rumor that certain wcIl-to-
do farmer who had big lot Of cotton on
lande ilFad, tried to hang himself. The
story as the editor Of The Enquirer
heard it was that the man simply could
not reconcile the loss, and undertook to
get away with it by the rope route.
The editor Of The Yorkvillc Enquirer
knows the man in question, had been
seeing him every few days for long
time before the ruinor and since. There
was no effort to investigate; because
the story was known to be without
foundation from the first. The man
probably does not yet know that he has
ever been the subject of malicious
stories. 1t was n lie out Of the whole
cloth set afloat by some of the Pied
mont's baboons-
Not long ago sometime in December,
there started about here Il story to the
effect that certain prominent man who
formerly lived in this county; but who
now lives in another town had tried to
hang himself because Of business losses
and that his wife discovering him a
few minutes aftcrWard had cut him
d&wn and thus saved his life. Along
about the same time, the same kind, OF
a story was started about another man
of the same name in. this county. The
editor Of The Yorkville Enquirer did
not take any stock in the truthfulness
of either story. Knowing both men as
he did, and seeing them from time 10
time; he was satisfied that If there
was any foundation ut all for either
story, one had been confused with the
other. The rumors however, contlnu-
ing, some effort was made at invcstl-
CATION. Absolutely not word of truth
in either story. Simply the activities
of baboons.
Men and women Of intelligence can
very we'll understand how such stories
can be put in circulation withoutS the
knowledge of the victims. 1t is easily
also to Understand how difficult it is to
trace such stories to their origin; but
is it not n pity that the baboons who
arc responsible for them cannot be
called to account?
OF course The Yorkrille Enquirer is
not going TO mention the names of
any Of these victims. 1t would not
refer TO the matter at all, except for
the fact that the stories have been SO
widely circulated that many people
know about them. The Yorkvillc Ell!
ouirer however, feels that if it could
get the names Of the balloons who
start and circulate such stories, 1t
would like tn print those names.

Even assuming that Speaker Goth
ran was not a desirable candidate for
the position Of associate justice, 1t is
easy to appreciate the disadvantage
at which the house member who did
not desire to vote for him would find
himself. Theoretically, Of course, IL
would make no difference. Big men
very big men--would not take such
a thing as that into consideration. But
there are not enough men of that KIND
in the house to elect anybody. MOST

ground is now covered with mantle
of snow ranging in depth from two to

thickly all of Wednesday, leaving a
blanket, the heaviest in three years.
Traffic was tied up considerably on

Automobile transfers kept going pref

the difficulty that children would have
in getting to classes.

Hon. John L. McLaurin was among
the speakers at the Southern Tariff
Congress in Atlanta, Cal !. yesterday,
along with Governor Parker. OF Lou
isiana, John II. Kirby Of Texas and
Vice-Presidcnt Elect Calvin Coolidge.
Mr.. Coolidge defended the tariff policy.
Of the country during the past; put
said that Of course there is need Tor
rcsurvey and adjustment. Mr. Nc
Laurin asserted that if the tariff Is 10
be rewritten by the Republican, party.
the south should sec that its products
are protected as we'll as those OF the
remainder of the country. In the opin-
ion of The Yorkville Enquirer that is
a. most important matter. There IS
very little question that America owes
il; economic development more to the
tariff than TO any other policy. Except
for the tariff, VIC would still be, I'M
porting our steel rails from England,
and there would not be on the market
even such Il thing us an American
made pocket knife. There would DC
no American built ships either. The
Yorkville Enquirer is Of opinion that in
the light Of events, all southcrners
should now be willing to admit that
the free trade policy of the south has
never had any better foundation than
pride of opinion againsL those who
stood for protection, and that the blind
obstinacy Of the south in sticking to
that policy has done more than any
other one cause 10 hold this section
hack. Because the south would have
none of the tariff the rest Of the
country got all the benefits. and the
south has been paying Il large part "i
the bills. AS to whether there is now
a great deal left for the south unless
il could have protection aElinst those
sections that have forged ahead OF 1t
bv reason of the tariff it is difficult to
say; but in the opinion OF The York
willie Enquirer it is the wise policy OF
southern representatives to reserve
their traditional stand in this conncc-
tion and try to repair the lost op-
of the past as much us
possible.

CRAWFORD STILL AT LARGE.

Cicm Crawford, negro desperate of
the Smiths Turn Out section Of York
county, who showed up at Rodman,
Chester county, last Saturday after he
had been yainly sought by YORK and
Chester county officers on charges Of
issuing false checks, selling liquor and
resisting arrest, is still ut large. Oh
ficcrs expressed the opinion this week
that it is quite possible that the only
way Crawford will be brought in will
be in n box"
Crawford, it will be recalled, ensag-
ed in q pitched rifle and revolver bat
tIe with York and Chester county of
ficcrs several weeks ago and IN the
fight he was shot in the leg. tho shot
presumably being from rifle bullet,
which weapon was il the hands Of
Constable H. L. Johnson who was. In
the fight.
Crawford is alleged to have told
people at Rodman last week that he
has since been lying out around his
home ever since the battle with the Of
ficcrs. Sheriff Fred Quinn said. yes
terday that he has good reason to be-
lieve that this was not strictly true;
but that Crawford had been to- Char
lottc, N c., and Philadelphia. Pa.
since he undertook to resist the Off
GERS Of the law.
One theory is that Crawford went
to the Pennsylvania city With the in
tention of locating for good; but flna-
ing it impossible to obtain work there
because Of conditions, he managed to
make his way back 10 HIS, old stamping
grounds.
Officers, it is understood, are max
ing every effort to CAPTURE him, and
II would not be surprising If he Is
taken in tow, either dead or alive, in
the near future.
