When it became known that The
West Virginia was to stage a male
beauty contest, Harrison Conway
was the first he-vanp in, Fairmont
to announce his intentions to hang
up his mug in the rogues' gallery.
Ibis application. however, was ruled
out owing to a technically, or er.
ror of omission. and the judges
placed his name far down in the
list when he finally convinced them
that he was in no way affiliated
with Mayor w. w. Conway.
Although Harrison is said to re-
sembIe Wallace Reid. he prefers to
impersonate Douglas Fairbanks.
/ To carry out his delineation of the
noted movie star, he recently OBJ
tanned a position" on civil en-
tgineering corps. The constant
strain of being out on location
proved too much for, the local boy
however. and he resigned to Wake
| up his former duties OF inspecting
the doorSteps near the Intersection
Of Adams and Jefferson street and
supervising the traffic throughout
| the city.
Harrison is another one OF the
hat1ess and capless beauties who
Spcntl the Qdy uTlFluS up duN w" y
Adams street looking over the
pedestrians. particularly the fe-
male of the SPECIES. In his Rolls
Foyce imported from Flint, Micn..
! his appearance attracts no little
attention, and it is predicted that
| he VIII soon became the beau
brummel of this city-that is. as
soon as Victor Shaw joins the bene-
diets.
To make long story short: Har-
rison likes the women. They in
terest me Immensely" he confided
| to -tMooch" Tucker when he was
posing for his portrait. Somehow
| they have received the impression
that am adverse to flattery, much
to my disappointment for there is
nothing would like better than
for all my girl friends to call me
up each day for dates It is so
annoying to be compelled to bother
with telephone connections when
one only wants to have joy-ride
with a flapper."
Harrison's candidacy in the male
beauty contest has been Endorsed

Breast Stroke


tor OF the Y. w. c.
Breast Stroke
The breast stroke is valuable
one and should be attempted onlv
after the foundation strokes have
been learned. 1t is placed last be
cause of its difficult coordination,
but it Is easily mastered when the
pupil has learned the fundamen-
tails of the side stroke, side over
arm. trudgon and crawl strokes.
The breast stroke is very valua BILE
in life saving.
Arm Motion
The arms begin with hands in
front of. and close to. the chest.
palms down. fingers straight and
pointed in front OF one. Stretch
arms directly forward, turn wrist
so that the thumbs are down and
force arms back through the water
as far as possible, then with palms
down, bend the elbows and bring
the hands back to the starting
position. In the kick. draw the
legs up toward the body and
stretch them out to sides, now
with. quick. hard motion = force
them quickly together.
In combining the leg and arm
movement the legs bend and ex-
tend as the arms are bending, the
arms shoot forward as the legs
complete the kick and when the
are are moving backwards the
legs are dragging through the
water
Plunging and diving should be
tried at various Intervals to help
overcome the dread of entering
water head first, and to establish
the fundamentals OF diving. water
stunts and life saving which are
taken up by the advanced swim.

in the way that is suggested by the
word treason Why, therefore, resort
to such extraordinary prosecutions,
when outraged law could be avenged
far more simply-and less theatri-
cally?" when you charge treason" ="
notes the New York Evening Post.
you must have an act so fragrant, so
wanton, so menacing to the national
existence as to convey in the very
charge sense of dreadful odium."
Continues this paper:
Treason to State is hard to con-
ceive at best, and infinitely hard in the
case OF State with the notorious re-
cent history of West Virginia. 1t has
been a State which had been derelict
in exercising its duty to enforce order.
It has left the maintenanc. of order
to armed detectives in the employ of
the mining companies or to deputy
sheriffs, who too often have been in
the pay Of the operators. With so long
a record Of violence on both sides it Is
rather late in the day for West Vir-
ginia to awake to its injured dignity
and invoke the charge of treason"
The West Virginia State code, points
out the chief counsel for the miners
and officials, prohibits the employment
of deputy sheriffs BY private persons.
The New York Evening Mail is
another of many papers which can
not see on what grounds the miners
are being prosecuted for treason
Says this paper:
IF the miners have been violent, let
them be prosecuted for violence and
for violence let them be punished. If
they have conspired together to com
nit crime, let them be prosecuted
for conspiracy, and for conspiracy let
them be punished. Neither conspiracy
nor violence is, however, treason"
I'm bringing the charge Of treason
before. the Court" maintains the New
York Evening World, "the prosecution
lays itself open to the suspicion that
it is merely endeavoring to intensity
the hostility of the two factions, and
so win support for extreme measures
against future efforts of the mine
unions to exercise their rights. The
very seriousness of the crime charged
against the miners is an impeachment
of the good faith of the prosecution"

Needs lnvestigation.-The In

Needs Investigation.-The Index
Journal stated yesterday that an old
Confederate veteran, age eighty years,
is now at the county farm, having no
relatives to care for him and having
been turned out of the Confederate
Home in Columbia after having been
an inmate there for some time.
His statement is that because he
and three other old soldiers went over
town" from the home without per-
mission or some such rule they were
suspended" for sixty days. He came
up TO Hodges, his former home, and
of his sentence He did not return to
Columbia exactly on the day, he says,
and when he did return he was told
that he could not be taken back be-
cause he had overstayed his leave. He
further says that he asked permission
to spend the night at the home, as he
had no money to buy lodgings in COL
umbia that night. His request was re-
fused and ne had 10 do the best he
could until he could get help from
friends at Hodges to get away from
Columbia.
| If this is a correct statement we are
forced to inquire whether the Con-
federatc Home is a place to care for
old soldiers or a place to furnish jobs
for people who look upon the enforce
ment of certain rules as matter OF
more importance than the care of de-
pendent old soldiers.
The Index Journal is confident that
the old soldier will be given attention
and care here. The Daughters Of the
Confederacy, his old comrades and a
generous hearted people will not LET
him lack for comforts while he is at
the county farm
The case, however, needs investi-
acknowledgements Index Journal.

BLOW FOR TOPERS.
Fusel Oil Cannot Be Taken Out OF
Corn Liquor By Charcoal.

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes.
who regularly issues statements
warning folks against prohibition IL
quors. has now turned his attention to
old fashioned corn rkker," ana at
tempts to knock into cooked hat the
theory that running corn whisky
through charcoal takes the fusel Oil
out of it.
Corn liquor experts in Georgia and
other states have long held and prac-
ticed the belief that charcoal kills the
fusel oil.
Now Commissioner Haynes says he
has the word of II. NJ. Stevenson, one
of his chemists, that running moon
shine through fuscl oil increases the
amount of poison in the iquor, and
it becomes more dangerous.
In & warning statement issued last
Monday night. Commissioner Haynes,
VINO is as dry" as a prohibitionist
could be, quotes the chemists report,
and it will no doubt start an argu-
ment among the experts on moon
shine. Here is the viewpoint of Com
missioner Haynes and his chemist, al
though it is not stated whether either
has had actual experience with corn
likkcr. other than to test certain bev-
erages captured by federal officers.
"ln order to affirm or disprovc the
generally accepted theory that whis-
ky containing fusel oil when filtered
through charcoal is rid of its fusel oil,
sample OF corn whisky, which on
analysis, showed a fusel oil content of
five and eight. tcnths per cent, was fill
tered three times through bone char
coal and once through blood charcoal.
1.-THE filtrate from each of these op-
crations was as clear as the original
sample, its alcohol content had de-
creased by $40 per cent, but its fu-
! sci oil content remained the same.
The original, on analysis, showed
! 5S.3 per cent alcohol by volume, and
5.S per cent fuscl oil, and after treat
ment, the same whisky showed 81 pen
cent alcohol and 5.S per cent fusel oil
These results show that the alcoholic
! content has been decreased, but that
| the fuSel oil content has remained the
same. Thus the proportion of fuse
! oil to alcohol was increased, and this
made the filtered whisky Il more poi
| SOnuuS substance from the standpoint
of fuscl oil than the original"

MAJOR JOHN r. JONES
Facts About the New Collector of In
ternal Revenue.


ternal Revenue.
That the highest honor in federal
patronage in the state of South Caro-
lima should go to Major John +. Jones,
of Blacksburg, is a merited recegni-
ton of the worth and ability of man
well-known in the Carolinas, Georgia,
and adjoining states.
Letters of congratulation on his ap-
pointment as Collector of Internal
Revenue, from men irrespective of
party expressing their satisfaction in
the selection of one so well qualified
to fill the office, are flooding the
major's mail
While native of Massachusetts, his
adopted state has been benefited by
his efforts in the betterment of condi-
tions in civil life and the advancement
of educational opportunities, especially
in Cherokee county.
Notable benefits to the town where
he has lived were the installation Of
the second electric lighting system in
the state, generous gifts to the public
schools, and the erection of the we'll
known Cherokee Inn, with unselfish
personal interest in all plans for the
imp ovement of the town.
Before coming to South Carolina,
Major Jones was engaged in civil and
mechanical. ep-ineering; then later as
manager of a railroad in New York
and Connecticut. He came to South
Carolina to build the Charleston, Gin
cinnati and Chicago Railroad. AS
chief engineer and superintendent of
construction he was entrusted with the
task of laying the line from the Ohio
city to the sea, according to his own
best judgment. Making his head
quarters in Shelby, N c., while build
ing the main division, he later moved
to Blacksburg, S. c., at its compile
ton, from which point the further
progress was conducted up to the sale
of the property to the Southern Rail-
way.
In politics the major has been n
staunch Republican, without prejudice
to others, holding actively to his own
party. He has the distinction of being
the only man in South Carolina who
has ever had the endorsement of both
wings of that party. Several times he
has been delegate to the National
Convention-usually at large-and also
on the electoral ticket, leading it.
He has conducted his share in the
party's campaigns in ways that re-
tanned the respect and admiration of
his opponents. 1t is fitting that this
honor should come to him as a tribute
to his unfaiing loyalty and adherence
to his chosen party's ideals.-Gaffney
Ledger.
