That provision of the constitution of
the state which opens way for the
appointment of special judges where
duly elected and qualified judges are
not available is wise and proper; but
in its effort to put that provision into
effect, it seems to us that the general
assembly made a bad slip up. The
statutory provision is that special
judges are to be appointed by the gov
ernor on recommendation of the chief
justice of the supreme court. Theoretl-
cally the chief justice of the supreme
court is in a better position to select
the most suitable man with the neces-
sary character and ability. But there
is something else to the proposition
beyond that. Under. the constitution
the supreme court is not supposed to
have discretionary authority or power
over the governor. The governor is
supreme in such matters. In the
recommendation of special judges the
chief justice frequently acts on the
suggestion of "a local bar or an indi-
vidual member of that bar, and from
time to time that individual member
makes his suggestion on a basis of
personal favor rather than on a basis
of the character and ability of the
person recommended. There have
been appointments of this kind that
have caused widespread astonishment,
not to say disgust. In the eyes Of the
public the governor is responsible,
notwithstanding the fact that under
the statute he is compelled to issue a
commission to whomsoever the chief
Justice says. We believe this statute
should be amended so as to put the en-
tire responsibility of special judges
either on the chief justice or the gov
ernor. AS it stands now we believe it
is unconstitutional and we believe the
governor would be justified in refusing
to be bound by it.

- Mrs. Jane Gibson continues in the
white light in connection with the in
tcrcst centering on the Hall Mills mur-
der case at New Brunswick, New
Jersey. state Prosecutor Mott credits
her story; but has not allowed her to
talk TO the newspaper reporters any
more than could he helped. AS the re-
suit, garbelcd versions of her story
have been sent out and the straight Of
il has not come yet; but according to
the way the matter now stands it is
about like this. While hunting the
corn thieves on mule back, Mrs. Gibson
lost one of her moccasins. She saw
the killing previously described later
while looking for the mOccaSn and
when she saw the killing she rctrcatcd
Later it occurred to her that if some
one else found her mOccasin she might
be connected with the murder and at
about o'clock she went again in
search Of the missing footwear. 1t
was then that she saw Mrs. Hall ar
ranging her dead husbands cravat and
glasses. She is positive of the identity
of Mrs. Hall; but has not yet idcnti-
fled the man who did the killing and
docs not know whether he was a
white man or negro Mrs. Gibson has
let it be known that she has received
an anonymous letter advising her that
there is still another bullet in the pistol
with which Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills
were killed. The newspapers have
learned that Mrs Gibson has been liv-
ing on her farm for about II years.
She is not inclined to tell much about
daughter Of a Kentucky Confederate
veteran; that after graduating from a
reputable female college she became a
circus ridcra nd later married a clergy
man. But that is al she would tell,
except what is commonly known that
she has been living on the farm all
these years, raising and selling pigs
and mules, with the help of her
twcnty-year old son. She is represent
ed as fully sustaining the part she has
assumed, using good English in her
conversation and showing fun famil-
iarity with legal and social procedure
and customs far beyond her assumed
station. So far as public knowledge
goes her reputation is good. 1T is said
that she kept her own council about
the whOl" matter Until after there de-
VclOpCd efforts 10 pu; the crime on in
uOCcnt parties and then she began to
talk: but it was not until the matter
got into the hands of Stat" Prosecutor
AIott that her story received serious
consideration.

That question as to whether the go,

That question as to whether the gov
{ nor has the right to revoke a parole
for the violation Of the conditions
thereof seems to involve the point Of
where the authority Of the executive
ends and the authority of { e judiciary
begins. And while the constitution is
very clear on the proposition that it is
the business of the court to impose the
law and the governor to enforce the
same and that the powers Of both shall
forever be distinct and separate, there
is no doubt of the fact that there is
good deal of conflict 1t is not uncom-
mon for the courts to usurp executive
authority, and all experience is that
such authority once usurped is seldom
turned loose. AS we see it, when a
convict accepts the conditions of
parole, it is up to him to abide by those
conditions and just what the courts
have to do with it, we cannot fully un-
derstand.

Italy has for quite a while been in
a condition bordering on civil war, and
it is possible that war may break out.
Communism and Socialism are the is
sues. Socialism seems to have. been
carried to point where business and
industry are at standStill. Work
men generally appear TO be unwilling
to work on terms with which the pub
lie can comply 1t has been the un-
derstanding for quite a while that the
Russian government has been furnish
ing money to the Socialist leaders, and
with this money workmen have been
able to lay down on the job. For in
stance in a number Of cities the
bakers are on strike and as the people
cannot meet their terms they simply
will not work, and there is no bread.
That is why the Facisti has come into
being, to break up the sabotage or
organized labor. The leader of the
Facisti is Benito NIuSsOlini editor Of
II Popolo, and held by many TO be the
strongest man in Italy. After the Com
munists had succeeded in bringing an
industrial tie-up in the city of Turin,
the greatest manufacturing centre Of
Italy some months ago, Mussolini, un-
able to get entrance otherwise, flew in
on an airplane, got in touch with the
war veterans and Conservative ele-
ments, and in u few days he had the
industrial machinery Of the city
functioning in first class shape. thus
smashing Il deliberate plan for the es-
tablishment of Bolshevism. In the
same manner he has gotten together
nearly Il million followers, and twas
by his orders that the Socialist cab
met stepped down and out a few days
ago. His political platform is COM
pretended in the idea that it was nee
cssary for Italy TO intervene In the
World War; that the victory was trC-
mendOus; that Italy has Il world mis-
sion and that BOlshcvism shall not be
allowed TO interfere with that mission.
There are those who say that Musso-

Most Americans who have a more
of less superficial knowledge of the
conditions to be affected by the Laus-
anne peace conference naturally have
preferences as to what should be done
there. Some think they would like to
see the imposition of conditions that
would keep the Turks out Of Europe
and restore the Greeks to Thrace; but
since we are leaving it altogether for
the other powers to do it, it would
seem to make but little difference what
we want, or, don't want. Unless We
are willing to participate in the peace
conference and there say what we
would like to have done, there is
nothing to do but just look on.

PUNTS AND PASSES

Lancaster High was easy meat Tor
Rock Hill High in a game at Rock
Hill, Friday afternoon, the Bear
Cats" winning by a score of Al to 0.
After the first quarter the Bear Cats
used only second string players since
it was seen that Lancaster was easy
Winthrop Training School having
showed the white feather and refused
to play Chester High as scheduled,
most of the Chester players went to
Rock Hill to see the Good Town
team mop up with Lancaster. 1t is
said that the Chester boys rooted most
loyally for Lancaster which was to be
expected a number of the Chester
boys, it is said, had their note BOOKS
with them for the purpose of taking
dots" on Rock Hill; but they could
put all the dope they got on a square
inch of paper since Rock Hill wasn't
putting out anything.
Carolina beat Clemson at the state
fair in Columbia in 1920 by the same
score and on the same play that Glenn
son beat them on last Thursday, the
score being to 0. Tatum Grcssette,
now coaching Yorkvillc high, was the
lad who beat Clemson two years ago.
The Yorllville- Lancaster High game
which resulted in a row last Friday
week ago, the locals walking off the
Lancaster field on the claim that the
referee wasn't toting fair, will probably
be played over again. kick was
registered with officials of the Catawba
Athletic association about it and also
opinions were submitted from several
football authorities stating that York
vile was right. Lancaster had the big
end of 26 to score when Yorkv!lle
quit.
Yorkvillc will play Rock Hill High
mere next Friday and will doubtless be
soundly .trounced. However, the locals
will stay right in there and work until
the last. There is no danger Of their
laying down and refusing to fight as
Winthrop Training school did with
Chester last Friday.
Worth Youngblood, star player for
Yorkviilc is still out of the game, suf-
fcring from injuries received in the
game against Fort Mill several weeks
ago. According to Coach Logan Of
Rock Hill who is familiar with the
locals, the absence. of Noungblood de-
creases the strength of Yorkville about
twenty-five per cent.
Floyd Wray of Yorkville who plays
an end with the Clemson team and
who was in the thick Of the fight in
the Carolina game last Thursday spent
couple Of days at his home here
following the game. He had several
black and blue places on his face,
souvenirs" of the battle at the state
fair. But Of course the boy wouldn't
even admit that the bruises were sore.
Most of the observers are agreed
that the Rock Hill-Chcstcr game
November 10, is to be Il nip and tuck

York and Chester counties will be in

There's a big row brewing in the
Catawba High School Athletic Asso-
citation, it was learned last night and
smouldering volcano is likely to
erupt any minute. Probably it will
erupt along about Friday when York
vile High and Rock Hill High are
scheduled to play football here. Other
schools in the association are COM
planning more or less about Chester
and Rock Hill. The charge is going
the rounds that both football teams
irclude several ringers" or boys who
are really not eligible to play high
school football. Under the rules Of
the association, player must be in
school taking at least four studies for
a period of forty minutes n day each.
He must be under 21 years of age and
he must have enrolled as u student
thirty days before the football season
opens. According to some of the high
are not living strictly up to the rules.
Two of the members Of the Rock Hill
team, il is charged, were formerly en-
listed in the United States navy. One
fellow, it is claimed has job with an
express company in Rock Hill and is
being paid to go to school and play
football. Another player and peach
he is, by the way, is a Fort Mill lad
who was brought to school in Rock Hill
this fall just TO play football. 1t is
charged that Rock Hill students
are taking turn about boarding him in
their respective homes and he is being
paid good money to play football This
man, it is claimed, is professional
athlete and an cX-solder who tried to
land a berth on the baseball team of
the Charlotte club of the South At
lantic League last summer. And he is
bound to be more than q years of
age, is the claim. The story is that
Chester is equally guilty. 1t is claimed
that one member Of the team was
brought to Chester from Great Falls
iuss to play football. Another star
player on the Chester team is mar
ried nan, it is claimed, who really has
no right to play high school football
and there are two or three others
whose eligibility is questioned. e. A.
Montgomery, superintendent of the
YOrkville school said yesterday that he
had informed r. c. Burts, superin-
tendent of the Rock Hill school that
proofs of eligibility OF each Rock Hill
player would have to be sumbitted him
before the game here Friday. Mr..
Montgomery said that Player Douglass
Minis Of Rock Hill would not be al
lowed to play against the locals under
any circumstances. So much for that.
The big two" in the Catawba Asso-
citation this year are Rock Hill High
and Chester High. The dope" here is
that when the two elevens meet in
Rock Hill on November 10, nothing
will be said about eligibility because
both are guilty of playing ringers"
The big idea with each team or rather
each town, is to beat the other and
contracts, rules or regulations OF tho
association are merely scraps of paper.
But Fort Mill is sore about it. York
vile is sore about it and so are other
schools in the association. The result
of it all may be the dissolution of the
Catawba High School Athletic Asso-
citation.
