IRISH FREE STATE.
Treaty Provides For Government Like
That of Canada.

Creation of the Irish Free State is
provided for in the treaty signed last
month in London, ratified on Dec. 1t
by the British parliament and now fl
nally by the Dali Eireann.. It's pro-
visions in substance are:
Ireland shall have the same consti-
tutional status in the British Empire
as the Dominion Of Canada, the Com
monweaIth of Australia, the Dominion
Of New Zealand and the Union OF
South Africa.
Ireland shall be known officially as
the Irish Free State, with a parlia-
ment having powers for the govern
ment of, the county and an ,e%ecu'
tive responsible to that parliament.
The oath TO be taken by the Irish
parliament involves allegiance TO the
constitution of the Free State. It's
members must swear to be "faithful
to II. NJ. King George, his heirs and
successors by law, II virtue or the
common citizenship of Ireland with
Great Britain.
A Provisional government Is to be
set up, to function until an Irish par
lament and q government of the Irish
Free State shall be constituted, but
not longer than twelve months at the
outside.
A representative Of the crown shall
be appointed for Ireland in the same
manner os the governor general OF
Canada. <'
Ireland is given control over all
governmental affairs and Is entitled TO
an army, which shall not be larger In
proportion to Ireland's population than
the British army is to the population
of Great Britain.
Ulster is included within the scope
Of the treaty, but provision is made
for her TO declare herself out within
one month after an act Of the British
parliament ratifying the treaty; and to
continue under the present regime as
provided in the government of Ireland
Act in 1920. In that case, however, a
boundary commission is TO be named
to determine the boundary between
Northern ireland and the rest OF Ire
land.
The Irish Free State will assume
what may be decided by agreement, or
arbitration as n fair and equitable
proportion of the public debt of the
United Kingdom, and is to afford har-
bor facilities to British naval forces
under terms to be fixed by conven-
ton between the two governments.
Safeguards are provided for freedom
of religion and education within both
the Irish Free State and Northern
Ireland.
Formal ratification of the pact on
the part of Ireland, it is provided by
the treaty, shall be at a meeting
summoned for the purpose, OF the
members elected under the govern
ment of Ireland Act to sit in the house
Of commons of Southern Ireland.
These members. with a. few cXcep-
tions. are the same as those of the
Dali Eireann.

BOGUS Checks Increase.

There has been a noticeable increase
in the number of bad checks sent to
him since the Christmas holidays,
Magistrate Fred G. Black said, yester-
day The magistrate has on hands a
pile of 'phony" checks several inches
high and so far has been able to collect
very few of them. Quite a number of
York county firms have made 1t rule
not TO cash checks beginning with tho
new year. In q Rock Hill restaurant
there is q sign which reads: I'VE do
not cash checks. The bank is on the

That the Catawba Indians no longer

who are aged or needy. is the recon-

- Ar attack was made Friday in the
house by Representative Byrnes
DemocraD of South Carolina on the
federal reserve board which, he said,
planned to construct at q. cost of $25,-
O00, 900 an elaborate headquarters in
New York city with q gymnasium,
club, auditorium, and other extrava-
CANT features" ''Such a building will
do more to incte bolshevism than
anything else" Mr.. Byrnes declared,
adding that he intended to introduce
Il bill requiring the federal reserve
board TO submit all estimates for eX-
penditures TO congress through the
budget bureau so there would be n
check on its spcndings. Mr.. Byrnes
stressed the point that the erection of
the building would be undertaken at
a time when congress in the interest
of economy was denying various COM
muEities needed public buildings
which, in the aggregate, would cost
$40, 600, 900. Representative Parker

that money for construction of the
New York building would not be met
through taxes on the public. but from

The general assembly commenced to-


The general assembly commenced to-
day at noon, and. as usual, will prooa-
bly, drag its session along till about
the last Of February. or perhaps into
March. If it so desired it could do its
work in twenty days or less and 1t
would be much better for the state.
There is no good reason for all the time
killing into which the general assembly
has fallen. We have never seen good
reason suggested. The sessions are
dragged up to an unreasonable length
so that a few members can do what
they want after having tired the ma,
jority out. That is about all there Is 10
it and. it is high-handed, disgracetui
and unconstitutional proceeding. 1t Is
time for the people to rise in their in
dignant might and put a stop to It.

LIQUOR -NoTn,PolsoHEo.

Judging from an ranalysis made by
r. n. Brackett, chiefrchemist at Glenn
son College, 1t would appear that
Frank Hardin negro. did not drink
poisoned liquor resulting in his death
on December 16 last, at his home
several miles south Of Yorkville. Ply
sicians who attended Hardin, who died
while intoxicated and very suddenly
gave 1t as their opinion that the liquor
was probably poisoned and very likely
contained wood alcohol. Coroner Paul
G. McCorkle sent sample OF the
liquor 10 DR.. Richard Bracket, chem
list at Clemson College, requesting him
to analyZe the liquor.
The analysis OF DR.. Brackett received
by the. coroner last Saturday shows
that tho sample OF blind tiger liquor
which Hardin drank was as follows:
Alcohol by volume .-.--.....---..----.- $500
Alcohol by weight 45.9l

analysis that the moOnshine which

American Exchange Bank, extended
across the alley to the Rudolph, and
connected to their water supply pipes
to supply the hotel and cafe with wat
