what is ogoing to happen in the
general election this year remains
to be seem"
The Yorkville Enquirer has been a
Blease newspaper for many years.
Comment on the above is unnecessary.
If this is not a threat to bolt the pri-
mary and oppose the Democratic NOM
inees in the general election, then we
fail to understand the English Ian
guage. Wade Hampton said: "An in
dependent is worse than radical. -
Bamberg Herald.
Why, Sonny, did you not read the
Columbia States recent defense Of the
right to bolt an Objectionable nominee,
regardless of platform, ETC.? And in
case of Blease's nomination next Tues
day, do you expect The State to stand
hitched? Will you, a postoffice ben
efciary in The States machine in the
late administration, stand hitched?
Why Blease remained loyal in 1916
even after they had stolen the nomi-
nation from him.

the calling OF an election on the ques-
tion of issuing sewerage bonds in the
sum OF SG5,00O. Promoters Of the step
are confident that the necessary sigma
lures will be obtained and they believe
that the citizens will vote the bond
issue since little or no opposition has
developed Several times in the past
year or two has the suggestion OF a
bond issue for sewerage purposes
been made; but until the present time
there has been feeling on the part Of
the majority that the town was not
ready to take the step although there
has been no question of the need of the
system.

TRY TO SHOW INSANITY

Friends of Fighting Bill" Farris
who killed three people and seriously
wounded three others at the home OF
James VI. Taylor in the Glover Cotton
Mill village at Glover, Wednesday
afternoon were busy at Yorkville and
at Glover yesterday morning spread
ing propaganda, having as its object
the creation of the impression that
Farris was insane at the time he began
his fusillade of buckshOt on the six
unarmcd victims. It was whispered
around GOrkvillc and Glover that
Farris has been acting strangely for
some time and there were several

"What It Oodoes.v

The State, in the opinion of The
Yorkville Enquirer Ca newspaper the
contents of which The State has not
found especially interesting and has
therefore for years left it to it's de-
vices), is a naughty, even wicked,
newspaper, because it supports Mr..
Mcleod for governor. But If the peo-
pie of York county had access to the
files of The Enquirer of the last Is or
Is years, they would find in them Sc
verer accusations against Ex-Governor
Blease perhaps than any other news
paper of South Carolina has publish
ed. Meantime, The Enquirer is con-
cerning itself with The State for the
simple reason that it can not under
take TO defend the ex-governor against
what the ex-governor has himself said
over his own signature in his an
nouncement in 1919 printed in the At
lanta Constitution and in his letter to
Joseph w. Tolbert.
After all, what are Democratic tradi-
tions to The Yorkville Enquirer Go
lumbia State, Sept z.
Those people of York county who do
remember the things whereof the State
speaks, have access to the files of The
Yorkville Enquirer, such access never
having been denied to any man. In
addition to the files kept by the pub
fishers, there are also complete files in
the hands of many individuals.
Never having met him up to that
time previous to 1872 practically all
tie editor of The Yorkvillc ENQUIRER
knew of Cole l.. Blease was imbibed
from the Columbia State and from in
dividuals who filed us with misrepre
sentations about him.
The Columbia State is correct as to
what the files Of The Yorkville Enuui
rcr will show previous to say about
1911, and it is not necessary for the
editor of The State to come to York
VILE to see those files, for practically
every hard thing that The Yorkville
Enquirer ever said about Cole L.
Blease was reproduced on the edito
rial page of the Columbia State.
But there is this about it. AS soon
as The Iorkvillc Enquirer learned
that it had been deceived as to the
character and activities of the man.
it made due public Acknowledgement
of the fact, and devoted itself to max
ing proper amends
The Yorkville Enquirer is not con-
corning itself with the State because
of its unwillingness to defend Mr.
Blease's letter TO the Atlanta Constitu-
ton and to Joe w. Tolbert, The
forkville Enquirer has never said
anything about the Columbia State in
connection with either document. II
cares nothing about them. The Co.
lumbia State fought Mr. Blease with
more bitterness and even more unfair
ness before thesedocuments came into
the record than it has been fighting on
a basis of these documents.
For instance, that famous cartoon
representing Bleasc swooping down on
the state house in the. form of a buz-
zard, was published just a few days
before the second primary of 1910
twelve years ago.
And as to the Democratic traditions
of The Yorkville Enquirer, what about
them? The Yoriville Enquirer has
never proresscd to be anybody's polit-
zeal organ and it does not make any
such profession. 1t u.s. as it has al
ways been an independent newspaper.

It is said that some of the women
have been told that if they vote in the
primary they will have to pay poll tax
es and sit on juries. where otherwise
they will continue exempt from both
duties. 1t is needless to say that there
is nothing to either proposition, the
story having been Matched solely for
the purpose of bluffing women from the
polls. Women are exempt from jury
duty and from poll tax by statute and
voting has nothing to do with the mat
ter.

The railroads last Friday announced
an embargo on cotton from western
points, with the result that there was
a drop of 100 points on the exchange
There has since been a tendency
toward recovery in the market because
of the unquestione1 enorlness of the
crop; but the exchange operators will
continue to harp on the embargo. All
the mills in this section can be reach
ed by trucks from the local buying
points. The trucks have all along
been hauling more cotton than the
railroads. There is not enough cotton
in this section to keep the mills run
ming and owners of cotton should not
be alarmed because of the embargo.

1t was w. ]. Bryan who tried 50 long
and faithfully to put an end to gov
ernment by injunction; and if we
mistake not he managed to get his
proposition incorporated in the plat
form of the Democratic party. Blu
that is as far as he ever got, and still
something needs to be done. The in
junction involves arbitrary power that
is dangerous to free institutions, and
while there are times when it may be
appropriate, those times are few and
far between.

The most important thing next
Tuesday is that everybody should
vote. Many who failed to enroll have
become stirred up and are trying to
influence the votes of those WIN did
enroll. That is natural. But who is
going to pay any attention to this kind
Of folks? All men and women had
equal opportunity to enroll, and those
who failed to do their duty in the mat
ter simply do not count.

FEUD VICTIMS BURIED

There are three fresh graves in old
Olney Presbyterian cemetery across
the North Carolina line in CASTOR
county a few miles north of Glover
today, that are silent testimonials of
Wednesdays tragedy when "Fighting
BIZ Farris ran amuck at his home in
the Glover mill village at Glover, and
proceeded 10 clean out the famiuy of
James NJ. Taylor, who lived across the
street from him in the Frog Level
section Of the Glover Mill village. The
bodies of Miss Leila Taylor, 16, and her
brother Newton Taylor, y, were buried
yesterday afternoon OF Olney. Their
cousin Claude Johnson was buried
there this morning. All three funerals
were conducted by Rev. J. G.. Huggin,
pastor of Glover Methodist church.
James NJ. Taylor and his family
came 10 Glover from Gastonia about
six months ago and the funerals of his
children and his nephew were attend
ed by many people of Gastonia and
vicinity as well as by a number of
Glover people who had become his
friends since the family moved to
Glover.
At the Gastonia hospital this morn
ing where Fred Taylor, %, lies prob
ably mortally wounded it was said that
the patient spent a very restless night.
There is little chance for his recovery,
If any at all and his death today was
rather expected.
At Glover where Miss Gertie Taylor,
20 and little Miss Dolly Taylor, 10, are
suffering from the buckshot wounds
that the killer inflicted upon them it
was stated this morning that they are
getting along quite nicely and will re-
cover.
Wednesdays horror continued to be
the chief topic Of conversation at
Glover and throughout York county
today. 1t is reported that every effort
will be made 10 try to obtain speedy
trial for Bill Farris

The passenger traffic on the rail,

The passenger traffic on the rail-
roads continues unusually heavy not
withstanding the disorganized condl-
ton of the service-late trains and ap-
prehension as to smash-ups.
The time of the closing of the polls
next Tuesday is 4 o'clock p. m. This
applies to the whole state except to
Charleston, where the closing hour is
p. m. Voters should go out and vote
as early as possible.

That Injunction against the striking

That injunction against the striking
shopmen has the country guessing. The
general effect Of the order, if it is obey
ed, is to take away the right of organ
lied workers to protect themselves by
means of strikes. The platforms of the
two leading parties on the labor organ
ization question are suggestive Of the
ancient ditty-
Mother, may go out to swim?
Yes, my daughter,
Hang your clothes on a hickory limt
And don't go nigh the water!
A labor organization is permitted to
strike until it hurts, and then comes
along an injunction that seeks to COM
pei obedience to the other side.

The Columbia Record claims that
the Democratic voters of South Caro-

reasoning as that is so difficult tEat

primary, next Tuesday.

ayers, state ticket and county tick
ct, and in the case of the two town
ships named, a magistrate ticket, the
voter goes into 4 booth and prepares
his ticket according to desire by draw
ing a black line over the candidates
that are not voted for. There must be
no scratch over the names OF the per-
sons for whom the voter desires the
ballot to be counted.
Nobody has right to see the face
of the ballot except the voter, and un-
less the voter shows the face Of the
ballot there is no way by which any
body can know for whom the ballot is
cast.

But you know one thing, and that Is
that there will be more women enroll
ed for the election of two years from
now than there are for this election.
Most of the women who held back and
besitated about enrolment until it was
too late, are envious Of those who went
ahead and enrolled.

ALONG THE WAY

A little son Of James Davidson who
lives on York No. 3, was bitten by q
pilot snake on Wednesday afternoon
The serpent bit the boy on the foot. a
chicken was killed soon after the boy
was bitten and its split open body tied
around his foot to draw the blood from
the wound. Then he was brought here

fence from the bite. The snake was
