WITHIN THE TOWN

The Moose lecture in the opera
house tonight will be worth while.
- There has been brisk demand for
overshoes during the past week.
Church attendance was not so
good last Sunday, mainly on account
of the weather.
They are still hauling little cot
ton to the ginnery of the Yorkville
Cotton Oil company and the glnnery
is handling 1t as usual.
The cold weather has stimulated
the coal trade; but fortunately there
are ample stocks on hand, and there
has been some decline in price since
the beginning Of the season.
At a congregational meeting of
the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
congregation after the morning service
last Sunday, Mr.. T. E. McMackin, re-
Gently received as ruling elder from
the Bethany A. r. p. church, was
elected n ruling elder Of the Yorkville
Associate Reformed congregation.
Cotton Weigher Mcclure weighed
two bales of off grade cotton yester-
day morning, the first cotton or any
kind that he had weighed for more
than q week. The sales on the local
market for the season up to date
amount to about $500 bales.
The glee club of the Due West
Colleges come tomorrow under the
auspices of the ladies Of the York
VILE A. r. p church and the
members of the club will be entertain
ed over night at private homes. The
club has been having great time
along with good patronage wherever
1t has been and the common expecta.
tion is that Yorkville and Clover VII
add to rather than detract from th'
record.

In a. speech in the senate the other
day Senator Tom Heflin, of Alabama
charged w. G. P. Harding, with politi-
cal treachery of a most contemplate
kind. and with a plausibility that is
calculated to cut deep. In effect the
charge was that Harding, at heart a
Republican, came from the northern
middle west to Alabama as a Demo-
crat, and as such secured appointment
as governor of the Federal Reserve
board. Then during the last campaign
as tool of the great money trust, and
ito help make himself solid with the
Republicans, he inaugurated and car
,ried out his So called defation policy,
| with the double purpose OF depreciat-
ing the value of the money that had
accumulated in the hands OF the
wealthy, and at the same time bring
ing upon the people Of the country dis
tress that would be chargeable to the
Democratic administration. Accord
ing to Hef1in hundreds Of thousands OF
votes were detected to the Re-
publicans through Harding's alleged
treachery. 1t is quite apparent that
this could have been so whether 1t Is
so or not; but one point that Mr.
Heflin leaves in unsatisfactory shape is
the blame that should attach to Mr.
Wilson in such a situation. Harding
was a creature of Wilson, and 1t Is not
creditable to Wilson to assume that q
scheme like that could have been car
ried out for such purpose without
Mr.. Wilson's knowledge. If Mr.. Wilson
was not wise to what was doing he
ought to have been wise, and as we see
it he would have blocked the scheme
if he had seen proper to do so. In the
event that Harding had refused to re-
sign on request he could have been put
out of office by impeachment, as 8
conspirator against the peace ant
happiness Of the country. %.

Two appeals from manslaughter
verdicts. those of Tom Poston, Of VIII
Iiamsburg county, and Houston II.
Herring, of Anderson, were dismissed
by the Supreme Court in opinions
handed down Wednesday afternoon.
Herring shot and killed Clarence E.
Tolley Of Anderson, whom he charged
with having invaded his home. The
court points out that Mr.. Tolley was
in Baltimore, in a hospital, and that
Herring waited for him for the express
purpose of killing him. When a man
lies in wait for another, the court
opinion says, with time to think over
his proposed deed, it is murder, with
no excuse for it. 1t was only a matter
of leniency on the part Of the court due
to the fact that the slain man had en-
tered the sanctity of the home, that
the sentence was not made heavier.
Herring was sentenced to eight years
in the penitentiary. Herring shot and
killed Tollcy after his wife had told
him that Tolley had invaded his home.
Poston was convicted Of the killing Of
]. p. Miller, an electrician Of Kings
tree. The tragedy occurred on the
road between Lake CitS and Kings
tree. A car in which Miller was rid
ing was standing by the roadside and
Poston's car ran into 1t, it was charged.
Poston was alleged to have said
Miller tried to get hard and just shot
hell out Of him." The appeal was
based on alleged errors in the process
of trial. ....s.... ..

farmers have made nothing and they
are in desperate plight; but how they
are to be helped by postponement Of
the time for the payment Of taxes we
are unable to see.
If they are unable to pay their taxes
now, there is little prospect of their
being any better able to pay them in
September, and besides it Is going to
be very much more difficult to pay
them with interest added than it is
without the interest.
We are quite sure that postponement
of the time by which executions may
issue is not worth anything to this
section. 1t is worth nothing to the tax
payer, and it is great deal of ex-
pensive inconvenience to the county
government generally. .......
The great bulk of the taxes In this
county have already been paid, and as
for the people who have not paid the
hardship interests and costs when they
do come will be greater than If they
had to meet these things now.
The house. has not yet passed the
senate resolution; but that it will pass
this resolution is to be taken as a
matter of course
If there were any way to relieve the
people Of taxes entirely We would favor
the idea most heartily; but since post
ponement means little else than stav-
ing off for a short time an evil day
that will be all the more evil when II
does come, we see no sense in it.

Billy Sunday Excursion.
York Lodge No. 1861, Loyal Order Of
Moose, gives notice elsewhere in this
sue that it will operate Billy Sun
excursion to Spartanburg on Sun
d: Y. February H. Although. it was
necessary to guarantee only 125 peo-
pie in order to secure the train, the
plans of the Moose contemplate ex-
tending the opportunity to all who de-
sire to go. The railroad people, how
ever, require ample notice for addi-
tional cars and for that reason the
committee in charge has. seen proper
to require that the reservation list pc
closed by next Saturday night. AL
ready there have, been quite num-
ber of reservations, and peopie who
think they want to go should act
quickly. ~ 49,

The continued prosperity Of this ma
ton is dependent upon the number ana
condition Of its small farms-smali
farms under Independent ownership
ON a cash basis. But to develop the
small farm financial conditions must be
as favorable for the farmer as for the
fnancier and the manufacturer The
small farmer to be worth while as
factor of growth and development has
got to be prosperous.

g. -
The general assembly Is undertaking
70 cure a serious weakness in the dog
tax law. Heretofore the law has pro-
yided. no. specific penalty for failure to
rrss'e'is nav the tax: but hereafter failure Of
neglect to pay will be penalized by a
fine of from s5 TO SIS and imprison-
ment for from to 25 days. While
comparative figures are not available
the understanding is that York county
has already paid more licenses than
she has heretofore been returning dogs
and that the number of license tags
taken out in this county Is far greater
than in any other county in the state.
It is not to be understood that York
county has more dogs than any other
county; but that she has just been
paying up better.

There was no requirement in the
law as to how the Federal Reserve
board should spend the profits they
made after paying the per cent. divi-
dend to stockholder member banks.
While of course the figures of profits
made by the high discount rates dur
ing the period Of defation are avail
able, we haven't them at hand. The
understanding however is that instead
Of paying these profits into the United
States treasury, in the discretion of
the reserve board they have been used
for erecting regional bakning build
ings and increasing salaries of Of
ficers and employees. In a speech in
the senate the other day Senator Tom
Hefin, of Alabama, said that the New
York Regional bank, not yet completed
will cost more than the capitol build
ing, the United States treasury build
ings, the house and senate office
buildings all combined.

The idea that the boil wccvil can
ruin this country is simply foolish.
He can and will force a adjustment
of farming operations that will elimi-
nate the rainbow chasers who have
thought cotton planting a means of
getting rich quickly; but in his place
he will develop a solid substantial Gle
ment that will really be able to get
rich, not quickly, but surely. The COM
ing of the boil weeril will put an end
to big plantations, at least for a time,
and will make every farmer who has
not yet done so, do what he ought to
have done long ago, get at least one
COW, and raise pigs, chickens, etc. OF

The long prolonged and expensive
litigation between the states Of Georgia
and South Carolina, as to whether the
boundary line between the two states
ran through the middle OF the Savan-
nah and Tugaloo rivers or both sides
of those rivers were included in the
state of Georgia, has been decided by
the United States supreme court.
Georgia wins most of her contentious
in that she gets. all islands. Other
wise the line is midway of the streams
between the two states.

Business generally was paralyzed
in Washington last Saturday, that
city having been struck by a snow
storm that is described by the wealth
er bureau as the worst In twenty
three years. The storm area extended
from North Carolina to New England

the whole region being blanketed with
white to a depth Of from IL to 70
inches. Street car and other traffic
was stopped in Washington and the
senators and representatives were
unable to getsto the capitol. Import
ant negotiations in connection with
the Shantung controversy between

Tax Extension.

People who know the South Carolina
legislature and who are half way

part of the state are not at all sur
priscd at the action Of the senate in
proposing to stave off the service of
tax executions until September.

in the lower counties, the

they will drop out of the running. And

years attain values, equalling hum
dreds of dollars per acre.

All hail to the farm bloc in con-
gress so long as it remains true to
agriculture. A fair deal to agriculture
will involve the revolutionizing of our
economic system as now established,
and it can therefore not be secured
without a tremendous fight. How
many individuals are there who are
willing to give up anything they have
which they believe they can hold?
But nevertheless civilization cannot
progress smoothly so long as grievous
wrongs exist within its structure.
Whether the farm bloc is actuated
more by desire to right the wrongs of
agriculture than it is to prevail over
the elements that represent the finan-
cial and industrial interests we are not
prepared to say. We hope the farm
bloc is honest. If it is honest and will
remain persistent and consistent it
will win.

IN HOSPITAL FIVE TIMES
CRIME WAVES HIS DAILY FARE
Detective Loose Injured in Discharge
of Duties

No detective of fiction has had
more hair raising experiences than
Harry ]. Loose. He has handled ev-
cry class of criminal from "pickpock-
cts" to the high up big men Of the
criminal System"
Loose began with the great Pinker-
ton agency. He has been member
Of the Chicago Police Department fol-
seventeen years. For seven years he
was assigned to the investigations
conducted by the Hull House, whose
head is Miss Jane Adams.
The investigation conducted by the
Chicago Crime Committee into the
"Causes of Crime in Chicago" was
handled by Mr.. Loose. He also ham
died the investigation for the Chicago
Vice Commission.
Much of Mr.. Loose's work has re-
suited in legislation. The "Habit
Forming Drug investigator took the
census of seventeen thousand drug
users. The facts uncovered, resulted
in the Federal probe and the "Har-
rion Anti Narcotic Law" restricting
the sale of habit forming drugs.
"They never get away is a fact
that Mr.. Loose emphasizes in his talk
on criminals. He is detective, not
an entertainer. Seldom indeed has a
lecture been given which has more of
the dramatic. Yet Loose talks plain,
everyday English. Many times he
lapses, for illustration, into the jar
gon of the criminal world.
Mr.. Loose will appear on the Chau-
tauqua program here.
