Religious bitterness is at the bottom of
the difficulty so it is commonly rep
resented. Ulster includes some SYM
pathizers with the Republican govern
ment. Generally they are Roman
Catholics. Anyhow they are not in
sympathy with Ulster. They are sus-
picious of the Ulsteritcs and the Ul-
sterites are suspicious OF them
Whether the assumed strength of the
Republican government to the south
makes the Republican residents or
Ulster more bigoted or not, the Ul-
sterites seem to think so. Any way
the Ulsterites have no use for the
Republicans and the Republicans have
no use for the Obstetrics. The Re-
publicans have been concentrating
troops on the Ulster border to be of
convenient assistance to their friends
and the Ulsterites have been concen-
trating troops there to be ready for
the Republicans Just where the
blame is, # is difficult to say, except
one side is about as bitter as the other.
Both want to scrap and nothing else
will suit them. 1t is expected that the
British government will have to send
troops to patrol the whole border. And
Just how far British meddlers are
responsible for the trouble, there is no
telling. 1t is known that there are
powerful interests in England that are
not at all friendly to the Irish settle
ment, and for those who understand
the situation, the stirring up Of strife
is easy.

While it is not to be denied that peo-
pie are blue, to many Of the mer-
chants as we'll as the farmers, there
is really very little foundation for the
more or less common declaration that
there has never before been such
discouraging outlook at this season
People. forget. Business folks and
others have to go back to the summer
of 1914 to find situation fully as dis
couraging as the present, and If they
go back little further than that they
wi remember when the question OF
the new year was not so much whether
they could raise a crop Of cotton as
whether they could get anything for II
after it had been raised. 1t would be
foolish to try to make anybody be-
lieve that we are facing other than
serious situation at the present time;
but nevertheless things are not nearly
so bad that they could not have been
worse, .. e..

JoNEs-sPRlNes QUARREL

The Jury in the case Of the State
against Chas. d. Jones, indicted IN
Lancaster on the charge Of breach OF
trust with fraudulent intent, went out
with the law and evidence Wednesday
afternoon at o'clock and remained
out until 2:30 yesterday morning,
when il reported a hopeless disagree
ment. At the request Of the defend
ants counsel, Judge Bowman sent the
jury back with instructions to- make
one more effort; but all to no purpose,
and at o'clock his honor ordered a
mistrial and discharged the jury. Re-
port had it that the jury stood to 8
for acquittal.
Upon the reconvening of court yes
terday morning, Solicitor Henry en-
tered a nolle prosequi as to all five
indictments against the defendant, and
in explanation with his action, made
a statement to this effect:
These cases were taken up at this
term on demand of the defendant, who
desired to have them disposed of in
advance of certain civil suits against
him that involve in large measure the
same issues. The state acceded to the
demand in a spirit Of fairness, as 1t is
always my policy to give a defendant
a speedy trial when he demands it..
And in the same spirit of fairness
without prejudice I deem it proper to
mol pros. all five indictments, at least
for the present"
The understanding Is that there is
nothing in the way of the solicitor
giving out the bills again if he sees
proper to do so. 1t is quite obvious
however that Jones would be at con-
siderable disadvantage in defending
himself against civil suit while under
indictment. The withdrawal of the
indictments will put plaintiff and de-
fendant on the same moral footing.

Since Wednesday the Kings Noun

ditions have been improving and will
continue to improve if-well, it de-
pends on the weather.
The road from the ]. Q. Hall place
on to the turn for Filbert. has been
practically impossible for weeks. 1t mas

except for few days. 1t was dry
enough to get through for few days
after a hold up in the rain; but when
the rain started up it went to the pad.
The road force commenced sanding
again Wednesday, following a drag,
ging. 1t was still too wet; but urged
by the necessity of the situation, the
road force went ahead anyway. The
information was that II the dry
weather would continue the work
would be completed by tomorrow ana
the road would continue open from
then on. Cars could make it fairly
well yesterday however.
On past the hilbert cut out the ROAD
Is very good. 1t is good all the way

- Governor Parker of Louisiana or
yesterday issued an appeal to the law
officers of Louisiana to suppress with
an iron hand the evil of Ku Kluxism
wherever it raises it's head" He said
this action had been taken in view OF
the repeated complaints which have
come to him from various sections OF
the state. The governor added that
at the approaching session of the leg
islature he will appeal to that body
"it the name of order and good gov
ernment to enact q law, making it a
felony for any man to hide behind a
mask to drag the good name of this
state in the mire and bring contempt
for law and civilization" Where great
evil exists, he said honest and b.ave
men will stand in the open feariessly
TO see that they are corrected with no
need of disguise.

Representative Wood, Republican,
of Indiana, has introduced a resolu-
ton which seeks to pave the way Tor
a constitutional amendment that VIII
do away with the present electoral
college system and provide for the
election Of the president Of the Unitea
States by a direct vote of the people.
The resolution provides that the can
didate receiving the highest NUMBER
Of votes shall be president and the
candidate receiving the next hlghest
number Of votes shall be vice presl-
dent. AS to what congress VIII 90
with such a resolution remains to be
seen; but if the states get a chance
at it they will ratify it or the people
will know the reason why. The pres
ent electoral college subterfuse had
its origin in desire to keep the selec-
tion of the presidency in the hands OF
high up political manipulators, and II
shows but little faith in the people.
The electoral college is Of piece
with the old plan of having United
States senator's elected by the legis-
latures instead of by the people, and
the country made short shift of that
system at the first opportunity. 1t is
a very well understood fact that we
have had several presidents who lack
ed a great deal of having a majority
or even a plurality of the popular vote

How it Was Put Over.-Passage OF
the four billion dollar soldiers bonus
bill by the house before adjournment
was made certain yesterday with the
adoption of a resolution providing for
consideration of the measure under q
suspension of the rules.
The vote on the resolution was 221
to l21 and was without a roll call
Previously the house had adopted q
motion for the previous question by a
roll call vote Of 276 to 126. AS the
roll call proceeded, there was more
than the usual hubub on the floor and
those in the crowded galleries, strang
ers to congressional customs, looked
down in surprise as the members
milled about, talkin~ and laughing
while the clerk read the 435 LANES on
the list. Those voting were forced to
shout at the top Of their voices in
order to have their vote heard at the
clerks desk.
There was breaking of party lines
on the vote for the suspension resolu-
ton. Many of the Democrats who
voted in the negative on this motion
were counted upon to support the
bonus bill on the final vote and leaders
were confident that more than the two
thirds majority required under the
rules would be obtained.
Chairman Fordney of the ways
and means committee was at once
recognized by Speaker Gillett for a
motion to suspend the rules and pass
the bill whereupOn the house launched
into four hours of discussion. Some
members were given only one minute,
others two minutes, others three, but
iby unanimous consent, all had leave to
aytend their remarks in the Congress
sional Record during the next ten

Governor Cooper has signed q bill
that permits the catching Of cat fish
and carp all the year round. There is
nothing wrong with the proposition
on its face of course. Cat fish do not
need protection and carp are not worth

with no law against catching catfish
and carp, fishermen will catch what
they please-at least some OF them

At least The Yorkville Enquirer
might have given its readers an INK
ling of the character Of criticism The
Observer has been indulging in over
the congressional debate on Andrew
Jackson's birthplace. 1t is not exactly
the right thing for that paper to leave
it's readers under the Stevenson charge
that The Observer prints nothing
that initiates against" its views. The
Enquirer knows us better than that
Charlotte Observer.
While we do not hesitate to eXhono-
rate The Charlotte Observer from the
charge of printing only one side of the
question, and while we freely acknowl-
edge that it has published some con-
vincing articles in support of the truth
of history in connection with Andrew
Jacksons birthplace, we do not admit
that The Charlotte Observer has any
reasonable complaint against The
Yorkville Enquirer. We printed
Stevenson's communication to the
Observer simply because we con-
sidered it interesting and we neglect
ed to print the Observers reply for the
same reason that the Observer gives
for not printing Stevenson's Andrew
Jackson speech in full. We did not
think tina it contributed anything to
the main issue, and we did not feel
that we were justified in giving it
space. We do not mind saying that so
far as we are concerned, we have long
since satisfied ourselves that Andrew
Jackson was born in Lancaster coun-
ty, S. c., and we have no patience
with any contention to the contrary,
unless such contention is supported by
facts.

Fort Mill Township Cotton.

Fort Mill Times: Fort Mill town
ship farmers continue to sell from
time to time cotton they have held
from the 1920 and 1921 crops. Last
week more than $50 bales were sold on
the Fort Mill market, at an average
price of II 1-2 cents. 1t is said that
some of this cotton could have been
sold several months ago for twice the
amount the farmers received for 1t.
The sales of cotton in Fort Mill this
week have been below the sales for
the corresponding days of last week,
as has the price, II cents being t9e
highest amount paid Tor the stap.e
since Monday morning.
