EBENEzER MAGISTRATE.

A most peculiar state. Of facts was
brought to the attention Of the YORK
County Democratic Executive commit
tee yesterday, in connection with the
race for MAGISTRATE in Ebenezer town.
ship. At the time the committee met,
according to- unofficial returns, Messrs.
John R. Poag and w. S. Braswell were
the highest candidates-the number OF
votes standing: Poag, 141; BraSwell,
11S, and Swinnie, ia. Then Executive
Committeeman J. NJ. Campbell reported
the TirZah vote for EbeneZer maGls-
trate, which gave Poag 2 and SWinnie
.12. That increased Mr.. Poag to '143,
and Mr. Swinnie to 126.
In the meantime, however, Erwin
Carothers, Esq, representing Candl-
date Swinnie, had opposed the entry oil
Mr.. Braswell into a third primary, on
the ground that Mr.. BraSWell lives IN
Catawba township, whereas he ran Tor
magistrate in EbeneZer township.
There was proof to show that the
township line runs close to the house OF
Mr.. Braswell, who lives at the indus
trial cotton mill in Rock Hill. There
were affidavits from A. c. FenneL and
J. A. Howe, that Mr.. Braswell lives IN
Catawba town1hip instead OF Ebenezer'
Mr.. Braswell in a statement to the
committee said that while the line was
close to his. house he bad registered IN
Ebenezer township, had made his tax
returns in Ebenezer township and FUR
thermope that he thought the question
of his residence should have been
brought up before. However. II he was
ruled out he thought his assessment zee
of SIS should be returned to him.
On motion Of ]. H. Saye the commit
fee decided to rule Mr.. Braswell out
and to return his assessment fee.
However the vote complete had al
ready ruled Mr.. Braswell out OF the
third primary, which is to be held De-
tween Messrs. Poag and Swinnie.

YORKVILLE MIGHT DO

Secretary F. NJ. FewelY of the Rock
Hill Chamber of Commerce thinks
Yorkville might do as town for a
setting for a mo- ing. picture that the
D. w. Griffith Cor poration proposes to
make. In letter to Miss Fewell tell
ing. what is wanted in the nature OF
location II. Sutch, assistant director
for d. w. Griffith says:
1--WE are contemplating making n
picture laid in the old south and as
the exterior scenes lshould be laid
there, am writing to find out if there
are suitable locations in your vicinity
for our story.
1--WE would need q swift mountain
river mot brook with an old fashion
ed bridge crossing it. We also would
need an old fashioned southern village
or small town that has not been
modernized too much We also want
distant views of the countryside with
hills or mountains.
"One most necessary point OF infor-
nation is how late the leaves usually
fall, also other climatic conditions"

VOTE RECOUNTED

A recount OF all the votes of the
county in the race for probate judge
by the executive committee yesterday
showed a difference of one vote and
that Probate Judge James l.. Houston
had been reelected over Capt. G. Pet
Smith of Rock Hill, by majority OF
50. The recount showed that Mr.. Hous-
ton received 2,641 votes whereas the
original count had given him 2642 ana
the recount showed that Mr.. Smltn
received 1851 the same number, that
the original count gave him.
Several hours time was necessary to
recount the vote which was done at the
request of Capt. Smith who said that
while he regretted to put the COM
mittee to so much trouble, he thought
that there should be a recount be-
cause of the closeness of the contest.
Mr.. X. S. Riddle, a member or the
executive committee made the formal
motion that there be recount. ana
the motion received a second from +.
b. Cotton of Atagon precinct. There
was no opposition to the motion.
Following the count, Capt. Smltn
thanked the executive committee ana
walking over to his opponent, Mr..
Houston grasped his hand and told
him that he had run him clean race.
Mr.. Houston promptly returned the
compliment.
Then the executive committee hearth
ly applauded the conduct OF capt.
Smith.

lance with Russia, as seems to be
probable.
In winning a victory for themselves,

In winning a victory for themselves,
as we see it, the striking shopmen
have won a victory for labor of every
class, for the standard of living, and
consequently for those who keep the
wheels of industry moving. To many
it looked like purely n selfish propo-
sition, and while there may have been
some underlying selfshness there was
more to it than that. Official figures
given out by the Interstate commerce
comrai. sion at the time Of the strike,
showed athat railroad earnings were
greater than at any time in railroad
history, and there was, no economic
necessity for wage reduction. If the
movement to reduce the wages of the
shopmen had succeeded, there would
have followed reductions in other
classes of railroad labor, and then
would have come wage reductions gen.
orally. The. principal effect of that
would have been TO reduce the living
standard 'of wage earners generally
and that would have found immediate
reflection in the downward readjust-
ment of the business OF the baker, the
tailor and the candle-stick maker"
The principal benefit would have been
to those whose income is from interest
earnings, and the principal significance
of it all would have been to make the
poor poorer and the rich richer. There
could have been no real good to any
body. The shopmen and the other rail-
road workers who realized that the
shopmens fight was their fight, are de-
serving OF the thanks of the whole
country for the splendid showing they
made, and the working public general
ly has reason to congratulate itself as
we'll as the shopmen on the shopmen's
splendid victory. In the meantime,
however, it is not to be forgotten that
the interests, which sought to depress
wages have benefited by ! the lower
price levels that prevailed because of
the strike.

presses Gratitude.

Columbia, Sept. 13.-Former Cover
nor Cole L. Blease this morning gave
out the following statement for publi-
cation:
"To the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina: 49,.
Although I failed to receive ma
jority of the votes on yesterday, ac-
cording to available returns, am
deeply grateful for the loyal and un-
selfish devotion Of my friends.
Throughout the campaign l stressed
the fact that l was making my fight
for the people Of the. state, and not
for my personal ambition have been
governor of South Carolina, for two
terms. I am proud of the fact that
Notwithstanding the bitter personal
and political fight and attacks that
have been waged against me during
the campaign, and especially in the
past ten days, $4,000 Democrats of
South Carolina voted for me and en-
dorsed my democracy and the prin-
ciples for which l fought.
in my apparent defeat at the polls
I have no personal regrets, my only re-
gret being that viii not have the
opportunity as governor to be Of serv-
ice to the oppressed taxpayers of my
state who are now so sorely dis
tressed. d
Il sincerely hope that relief may be
given them from some source.

HARDING WAS SLICK.
Hefiin and Watson Attack Former Re-
serve Board Governor. u -

A joint attack on w. p. g.. Harding,
former governor Of, the Federal Re-
serve board and the boards alleged
deflation policy in 1920 and 1921, was
made in the senate Wednesdny by
Senator Helm of Alabama, and Sem
ator Watson Of Georgia, both Demo-
Gratis. Senator Hefiin: asked for an
apology from SENATOR Glass, Demo-
crat, Virginia, former secretary Of the
treasury, for the latters defenoe of
Mr.. Harding and the board, Senator
Hefiin challenged figures given several
months ago by Senator Glass, as to the
contraction or expansion Of credit dur
ing the period Of postwar depression.
Senator Glass said that loans Of the
Federal Reserve bank had been. in
creased by nearly one billion dollars
in 1920, and Senator Heflin today pre-
sented official figures; he said, show
ing that, there was an actual shrink
age in Sredits of, $9So,00O,o00 for the
year ending May 1921, la
Senator Hef1in challenged Senator
Glass's statements, asserting that his
own were correct said that IL so Sem
ator Glass owed him public apology"
Senator Glass was not present during
Senator Helms remarks.
Senator Helm also, presented sta
tistics from the Federal Reserve
boards official bulletins demonstrating
further, he said, that during the twen-
ty months ending January, 1922, there
had been a decrease Of about $2,500,-
000,0 in the outstanding credits Of
the Federal Reserve system. yet the
senator from Virginia (Mr. Glass)
says that the banks were supplying
largely increased credits" said Sena-
tor Hefiin, when the official reports
show that these banks were calling
and contracting credits right and left"
Senator Hefiin asked why Mr.. Herd
ing, whom he referred to as .eWilliam
Poison Gas" Harding; was still hang
ing around" Washington following his
retirement from the board last month
and reiterated that Wall street bank
ing interests were endeavorfng to Sc
cure Mr.. Harding's reappointment.
? Referring to Mr.. Harding, Senator
Hef1in spoke of the crimes tllis man
Of chrewd cunning and crooked con-
duct in office" had committed, and
also charged Federal Reserve bank Of
ficials with gross extravagance.
Near the New York Reserve bank,
said Mr.. Hefiin, was q private bank
conducting a larger business with 200
employees than the Reserve bank con-
ducts with 5000. Also he said the New
York bank officials had greatly in
creased their own salaries.
Senator Watson, Democrat, Georgia,
supported Senator Hefiin's statements
and said that bank circulation was de-
creased from thirty-four billions Of
dollars to twenty-four billions for the
year ending December, 1921. This
Senator Watson said, was "a crime"
and he added that II Mr.. Harding and
bankers associated with him in the
alleged def1ation Of credits had their
just deserts they would spend the
balance Of their lives behind prison
bars"

Now that.m men who have been oppos-
cd TO woman suffrage, and women who
had the right TO enroll; but failed to
do SO, have had q taste of what it
means to see ureir brothers and sisters
fighting the battles of citizenship with
out being able TO join in and do their
duty, we have an idea that it will be
different hereafter. The women were
rot rs fully enrolled in the last cleo
ton rs they should have been. Many
of them were timid and many were in
different. There was lots OF indffer-
encc among the men too. OF course
there has always been Indifference
among the men; but we have an idea
that hereafter the women will come
forward in still stronger force. As for
the people who were not enrolled, or
could have voted and didn't, who are
dissatisfied with what was done Tues
day, it IS simply none Of their busi-
ness.
