MASTER CRIMINAL

by so many criminals. Il number of
banks and financial Institutions
throughout the country were made the
victims OF Il particularly clever gang
of crooks headed by Walter Eastman
Sh aridan, the man whom Piukerlon
in his memoirs declares was the cley-
crest criminal he ever tracked.
The operations of the Sheridan or
ganization were marked by a simple
ity which was almost startling. Their
favorite trick was to plant one of their
members in Il line leading 10 the win
dow of the receiving teller of a prom
inent bank shortly before The closing
hour. The man 50 planted would take

IN his hands Il large roll of bills. and

most reached the window. Then he
would tap him ON the shoulder. call
his attention TO a bill which he had
dropped Oh the floor" and the man
would naturally stoop to pick it up,
IN nine cases out OF ten placing his
money or the tellers shelf as he bent
over. The criminal would then snatch
the money and make of.
While the hauls secured In this man
ner were, Of course, of varying sizes,
Sheridan and his men picked up $75,-
600 as the result of less than five
minutes work at Baltimore bank.

followed by Il raid upon the Mechan-

Sheridan and one OF his men got away
with $4,000 worth of negotiable bonds.
His next exploit which took
more than four months of careful
planning-was the looting Of the Falls

when upwards of 100000 was Sc

VOTERS BY PRECINCTS.

Count of the thirty-one club rolls Of
the county by the executive committee
yesterday showed that total Of 6,275
men and women are enrolled to vote
in the primary election. When the
rolls are revised next Monday a few
will very likely be stricken off. A
count yesterday also showed that out
OF the total enrolment there were $50
men and women who made their mark.
While this cannot be taken to mean
| that exactly $50 men and women who
desire to vote in York county cannot
write their names, since a few had
members of the enrolment committee
at their respective precincts sign for
| them on the plea that IL forgot my
| glasses" or II am too nervous to write
today" at the same time 1t is taken
as pretty good index as TO the amount
of illiteracy among white people Il
! years old and over in the county. 1t
Is estimated that out of the $50 there
were probably Sc who could manage to
draw their names in some fashion IL
| forced to do so as the rules require:
but that the other 500 could not write.
The most startling revelation relative
to illiteracy was at Santiago precinct
in western York county where 100
voters enrolled and AZ Of the 100 made
their mark. At Fort Mill out of a total
enrolment of ATS there were 142 to
touch the pen and at Glover Ill out Of

A note sent by the Greek govern
ment to the Allies respecting the in
tentions of Greece in Asia minor, says
an Athens dispatch, emphasizes the
view that the occupation of Constan-
tinople is the only means Of bringing
! about peace, and says Greece has
made arrangements with that purpose
in view. The note begs the Allies to
Issue the necessary orders to the army
of Brigadier General Sir Charles Har-
rington, commander Of the Allied
force in Constantinople, and says it is
confident difficulties will not be i'm
posed in the way of Greece. The note
adds that by the naturalization of Con-
stantinople, the Allies are protecting,
instead of coercing Turkey, and thus
depriving Greece of means for impos-
| ing peace. The Turkish atrocities, the
note continues. make it vital for
Greece to adopt more energetic meas
ures against the Turks, but that the
Greek government is willing to discuss
the matter with the Allies. General
Harrington's declaration that he will
oppose by force any move toward Con-
stantinople has caused deep discour-
agement and disappointment in Greece
as the newspapers have been leading
the people to believe Greek occupation
of Constantinople would not be resist
ed by the Allies. There was a three
hour session of the cabinet on Satur-
day, and at its conclusion the govern
ment handed a supplemental note to
the Allied diplomats. The contents OF
this note have not been disclosed. An
announcement that the Greek govern
ment is prepared to extend the war
against the Turks beyond the already
extensive borders caused intense eX-
citement on the Paris bourse and fur-
ther aggravation Of Greece's financial
and commercial crisis. The drachma
fell Saturday to nearly so TO the dol
lar The Greek army of 3OO,OOO men
in Asia Minor, Macedonia and Thrace
is costing s7,000,000 monthly. 1t is
realized that this expenditure cannot be
kept up indefinitely in the present per-
ilous state of the treasury. The re-
mittances of $50,000.000 from Greeks
in America during the. last year have
been of immense assistance to the
government. The Greeks are still
hopeful that the American govern
ment may release the balance of the
$50, ,000,00 credits established during
the regime of Premier Venizelos. This
balance amounts to- $3S, 100000. The
steadily increasing cost of living, the
continued calling to the colors oe bread
winners of families and the failure Of
the government to secure financial as
sistance abroad are causing disconso-
lation among the populace generally,
who are war weary after ten years of
almost continuous strife. The feeling
seems to prevail, however, that the
government has been driven to a des
perate eXpedient, and majority of the
people apparently are disposed loyalty
to support it.

gave a helpful and instructive talk on
the subject of, Our Bodies and How
TO Care for Them She said in part
that while the Master loves our souls,
he also loves our bodies, which makes
it all the more important for us to

While it is not unusual for can
didate of the character of Mr.. John
Gary Evans to announce for the house,
there are very few people in this state
who are going to construe this devel-
opment as having no further signifi-
burg county, or even South Carolina.
Mr.. Evans, a former governor of the
81 tie and national Democratic execu-
tive committeeman, is quoted as de-
claring that he has no further political
ambition; that he has only consented
10 go to the house at the request of
friends and that his sole object is SER
vice to his county and state. There
are some, perhaps, who will believe
that, and there are others who will
look for deeper motives. Mr.. Evans
has made several efforts to go to the
United States senate, for instance, and
however it may be as to the house of
representatives, the United States SEN
ate is still quite a worthy object of his
ambition. 1t is quite evident that if
Blease should be elected governor
again, there will be little more political
hope for Mr.. Evans, and 1t is not un-
reasonable to assume that this state of
affairs may have something to do with
his present action. AS u candidate for
the house he will have better oppor-
unity to fight Blease in Spartanburg
county, and in the event Blease be-
comes governor, Evans, provided he is
elected, can still make himself quite
prominent in the house. Mr.. Evans is
a politician of long experience and of
very great ability.

CITY DELIVERY

There will be no city delivery for
Yorkville, at least for the present. The
town is fully entitled to it on basis
of the volume of mail handled and the
amount of the receipts of the office;
the community is little off on the
board Of politics required for forms OF
this kind.
Congressman Stevenson has sent the
Yorkville Enquirer copy of letter
that he received from the First Assist
ant postmaster general on the subject.
This letter which is dated July %,
reads as follows:
THE investigation made at your re-
quest with a view to determining the
feasibility of establishing city delivery
service in lieu of village delivery ser
vice at York, South Carolina, has been
completed and from the facts brought
out during the investigation it is found
that the patrons OF the York post Of
flee have been accorded adequate and
satisfactory service by village carriers.
In view of the fact that the inst&lla
ton of city delivery service would ma
tcr!ally increase the expense Of de-
livery service at York, trust that you
will agree with me that in the interest
Of economy village delivery service
should be retained"
Although it is n fact that Village de-
livery" in the case of this town gives
about the same service that city de-
livery" would give, the city delivery
pays a little more money to the car
ricrS, aud it was more especially dcSir-
ed for that reason.
The investigator sent down by the
department came down on n still hunt,
and the committees that wOul1 have
undertaken to show him wherein the

- Associate Reformed Presbyterians
from all parts of the county attended
the services in the Yorkville Associate
Reformed Presbyterian church last
Sunday, many of them coming both
morning and evening and the feature
of the evening services was union
meeting of all the local congregations.
The occasion was the winding up of the
paStorate of the Rev. j. l.. Oates, ID. D.,
who has served the Yorkville church
for the past thirteen years and VINO
left today to assume the pastorate
of the Associate Reformed Presby-
terian church of Columbia. The SER
vices were of an ordinary character,
except that the Sacrament of the Lords
Supper was observed during the morn
ing hour in the usual manner. The
visitors Of the morning were mostly
Associate Reformed Presbyterian
friends and admirers of the popular
pastor, who availed themselves of the
privilege of this participating in the
the last services Mr.. Oates was to con-
duct here in an official capacity. AT
the close of the regular night service,
the ministerial union of YorkVille took
charge, Rev. Il. h. Gillespie, d. d., pre-
siding, and each of the local pastors
was offered the opportunity to give an
appreciation of DR.. Oates and his SER
vice in the community. Talks were
made by Rev. II. T. Walsh of the
Episcopal, Rev. DR.. Gillespie, of the
PRESBYTERIAN, Rev. J. K. Walker Of the
Methodist and Rev. ID. l.. Hill of the
Baptist church, to which talks Rev.
Dr. Oates made appropriate response.
