Referring to the estimate of The
Yorkville Enquirer that 800 votes
were ldst in York county in the first
primary by reason Of having been
placed in the wrong boxes, the Chero-
kee Times felicitates itself on the as
sumption that. there was no such pro-
portionate loss An Cherokee county and
goes on to intimate ignorance as the
trouble in York county. That was
about what we expected of The Times:
but we do not feel in the least humii-
ated, especially since 1t is an admitted
fact that there is not a county in the
state that outranks York in intelli-
gence. Why even the editor of The
Times learned all that he knows that is
worth while in York county and IL he
had not slipped off SO early he would
be still better equipped for the import
ant work he is doing. But q funny lit
tie circumstance in this, connection is
worthy of mention. The eight-box
ballot law Of reconstruction days was
adopted as an educational qualification
on the illiterate vote, and when it was
first put into effect in this county, Col.
Asbury Coward, perhaps one of the
most scholarly men of the state in
that day as well as this, got his ballots
in the wrong box

freedom of speech and the freedom OF
the press, and by abridging the right
of the people to peaceably assemble
through the injunction proceeding in.
stituted against rail strike leaders at
Chicago. Other charges as outlined
to the house were that the attorney
general had without warrant through
the injunction, threatened with pun
ishment citizens of the United States
"who have opposed his attempts to
override the constitution" that he had
used the funds of his office illegally
and without warrant for the protec-
ton of individuals and organizations
for certain lawful acts which under
the law he was specifically forbidden
to prosecute" The attorney general
also was charged with failure to pro-
secute individuals and organizations
violating the law; with defeating the
ends of Justice by recommending the
release from prison OF wealthy Of
tenders against the Sherman anti
trust act' and with failure to prose-
cute, defendants, legally indicted for
crimes against the people"

at all. The controversy Is raging with
increasing violence.

"As you would have men do unto
YOU, do even so unto them," is prob
ably the greatest injunction that ever
came to humanity from Divine lips
The rule, If truly followed would solve
all difficulties, economic and social;
but who follows it? That this rule is
a paramount essential of Christianity
there can be no controversy, and
neither ean there be any controversy
over the proposition that 1t is more
conspicuous in it's disregard tl,an in
its observance. Where the few pro-
Tossing Christians try to interpret it
in accordance with its true spirit, the
many wait for the other fellow to do
unto them as he would have them to
do unto him." 1t is difficult Indeed
for the average man to appreciate that
there is as much good in the other
fellow as there is in me, and perhaps
more" There is classic joke about
the little boy who. instead Of giving
his sister the largest of two apples,
presented the two apples to his sister
with his permission for her TO take
her choice. This is commonly accept
ed as joke: but Is IT?

There Is considerable variety OF at
titude in the South on what Is known
as the Sterling -Towner bill, which bill
contemplates liberal Federal aid to
common school education. The South
Carolina congressional delegation is
very much divided on the subject.
Those who favor the bill argue that
the South, unable to make sufficiently
rapid educational progress alone should
gladly welcome Federal assistance, and
even be willing to submit to Federal
supervision. Opponents of the prop
csition hold that rs the Federal gov
ernment steps in with financial assist
ance in educational matters our own
people will step out, and that sooner
or later the maintenance and conduct
of the common schools will become a
Federal function. They point out that
as the thing stands now, the South
ern schools are free to teach the
Southern view of things and to handle
the negro question as they see proper.
Whereas if the common schools be-
come subject to Federal control it will
only he question of time until whites
and negroes Will have TO attend schoo
in the same rooms or not attend school,

Judge Peurifoy in granting the mo-
! tion for continuance until November.
81 believe that one of the greatest
criticisms of the courts is because of
delays. But every person charged with
crime has the constitutional right to a
| fair trial and that OF course implies
| the right OF ample time to prepare a
defense Therefore the motion to con-
| tinue this case until November is
granted"
Most of the Glover people who had
been in the courthouse during the day
had already gone home, being under
the impression that the motion would
| not be argued until today.
| There was no expression of surprise
at the action Of the judge in granting
the motion for continuance. Neither
was there any surprise at the intima-
tion of counsel that the defense plea
would likely be one of insanity.
Y A true" bill against FAIRIES in three
cases was returned by the grand jury

Influenza, as the doctors diagnose 1t,
is quite prevalent over the county; but
Nit would hardly be fair to say that the
malady is epidemic.
The Charlotte Observer has launched
q commendabfe enterprise by which that
paper now serves large circuit, in
cluding Gastonia, Clover, Yorkville,
Rock Hill and Fort Mill by truck. The
truck reaches Yorkville at close to z
o'clock in the morning, a full hour and
a half before any other daily paper.
There is a most uncomfortable skin
disorder that comes in the form of a
fiery itching for which there are vari-
Gus names, and which the doctors tell
us Is unusually common this year. The
most commonly assigned cause Is indi-
gestion and the eating Of too many to-
matoes comes in for n large share of
the blame. Eating of tomatoes causes
too much acidity of the blood, 1t is said,
and the most commonly prescribed
remedy is broken doses of Epson salts.

Rudyard Kipling has given out an in

RudSard Kipling has given out an in
terview in which occurs the expression
in connection with the result of the
war: America got the gold: but Eng
land has saved her SOUL" 1t is very
we'll understood that America made big
money out of the war regardless Of the
terrible eest;t but it is still a question
as to whether England would not have
gladly swapped her part Of the loot for
that which has fallen to America. AS
the result Of previous war England has
always been getting the gold" and il
she had a soul to save it might be in
teresting to inquire since when? Rud-
dy's remark strikes us as being little
peevish.

Regardless of the result of today's
election, whether it be Blease or Nc
Leod, the tax levy is going to be larg-
er next year than it was this year.
Realizing the tremendous kick at the
speed of it's programme, the adminis-
tration Stacked up at the last session
of the general assembly and~reduced
the state levy even below require
ments. That deficiency must be pro-
vided for next year somehow and the
probability is that the various indi-
rect taxes that have been levied will
be insufficient.

General sessions court for the
September term completed all the
cases brought before it yesterday and
today was engaged in equity matters,
Judge James E. Puerifoy who is pre-
siding not returning to his home in
Walterboro to cast his ballot. A rather
unusual feature of the court proceed
ings yesterday was the fact that not a
single defendant was acquitted. In
most cases pleas of guilty were enter
ed, there being only a few trials by
jury. The work Of the court got under
way promptly at 10 o'clock with all
the court officials in their accustomed

Whatever the result of today's voting
it is hardly to be denied that the cam
paign for the governorship has been
highly educational. Mr.. Blease, repre-
senting his party, has argued eXtrava-
gance and waste in taxation, and Mr..
Mcleod, representing his party, has ar
gued that if taxation is burdensome,
the cause lies with the counties rather
than the general assembly. There has
been very little Smud- Singing during
the campaign-less than in any, cam
paign since 1890, and sobered by the
size of the tax budget the people have
been in a state Of mind that has been
favorable for the consideration of real
issues. However the verdict may be,
the campaign has been worth while.

Dispatches from the Near East bring
the news that at last Turkey has got
the upper hand of the Greeks and is in
fair way to regain the ascendancy in
all her former dominions. 1t is a
strange situation, difficult of compre-
hension. In. his anger at Turkey for
taking sides with Germany, Lloyd
George threatened dire punishment
for Turkey in the final settlement. ~he
treaty of Sevres gave back to Greece
a goodly portion of her old territory,
long held by the Turks. But the treaty
of Sevres was not acceptable to either
Turkey or Greece, largely because it
undertook to internationalize Constan-
tinople, which was coveted and claimed
by both nations. In their dissatisfac-
tion the Greeks recalled King Constan-
tine, who had been dethroned and ban
ished by the Allies. Constantine's
pull was based on. promise to drive
the Turks out of all former Greek ter
ritory and to recover Constantinople.
For a time he made fine headway,
pushing the Turks at will, and it lock-
ed as. il he was going to make good.
But the Allies withheld their moral
support as we'll as their money, and f.
nally came to the rescue of Turkey. II
would never do to allow Greece to be-
come the dominant power of the Medi-
terranean, and one Of the greater pow
ers Of Europe. So the weight of Allied
influence was thrown with Turkey, and
the bankrupt Greeks were overwhelm-
ed. Now in the flush of victory the
Turks are promising to take ConStan-
tinople and run all the Christians out
Of the country. There is strong press
ure for the return of former. Prime
Minister Venezelos, an object for which
the Allies have all along been working,
and there is probability that military
pressure must be brought on Turkey
for the purpose of enforcing the will of
the Allies.

FAIRIES CASE CONTINUED.

William c. FAIRIES, charged with the
murder Of four members of the family
of James NJ. Taylor at Glover, Wednes-
day will not be tried for his crime
until the November term Of the court
of general sessions and possibly not
then. A motion made by his counsel
Thos. F. Mellow, Esq, of the local bar
that the case be continued until
November was promptly =, granted.
Argument was that counsel had enly
recently Been employed to defend the
alleged slayer and he had had no op-
portunity to confer with FAIRIES since
the prisoner was e6nfined I'm the State
penitentiary at Columbia.
A further argument was that the
