- The campaign between BCnar Law
and Lloyd George for the suf,ragcs OF
the British people is taking precedence
before everything else in the British
islands. People are turning out by the
thousands to hear the speakers, os-
pccially. Lloyd George, and because the
halls are frequently too small to hold
the crowds only Il small per cent. of
the people can hear the speakers. OF
thirty thousand people who gathered at
LOndon's biggest moving picture house
Saturday to hear Lloyd George only
5000 were able to find seats. The
great former premier had been laid up
for several days on account of Il
throat affection and although not en-
for speaking. His hearers hung on his
every word, and listened to him with
rapturous attention.; but involuntarily
cheering some Of his uttcranccs to the
echo. During his speech he had some
fun at the expense of BOnar Law. Law
had described George as drummer boy,
who had been very useful while the
fighting was going on but who in time
Of peace would be safer if deprived Of
his drum sticks. Also he said that
Great Britain now needs a policy Of
tranquility. Lloyd George said he was
willing to accept the likeness to q
drummer boy, and he wanted to re-
mark that Germany had lost the war
because she lacked a drummer. He
described Laws policy of tranquility
as a 'yawn," and went on TO say that
while wisdom required the avocation
Of extremes there was no such thing
as an empire like that of the British
standing still; that it must either 90

for going forward. lie pointed out

John d. Rockefeller, Jr, is quoted in
the New York World as expressing the
hope that the country will recognize
the service of his father during the lat
ter's lifetime. y very natural wish
that; but surely there must be some
mistake about the statement of it. In
spite Of the thruStS and kidding to
which the elder Rockefeller has from
time to time been subject at the hands
of some Of the newspapers, the country
very well appreciates that the great oil
king is one of its most valuable assets.
In Il business and commercial way John
ID. Rockefeller, ST., has done as much
for the country as any other man in it.
Nothing is more natural on the part Of
. large class of people than to think
Of Mr.. Rockcfelllcrs wealth rather than
Mr.. Rockefeller; but review Of this
wonderful mans career leads to the
conclusion that the tremendous fortune
he has built up is only an incident of
his usefulness. While it is true that
the Standard Oil company can raise or
lower the price of oil and gasoline at
will, it is also fact that except for
the wonderful machinery construct,
by Mr.. Rockefeller over all these years,
oil and gasoline are sold to the people
at less price than it could have been
sold under other conditions, even if its

YORK,s BIG TREES.

The response to The Yorkville En-
quirers call for the largest trees in the
county have already disclosed a num-
Der of considerable size. For obvious
reasons it is not desirable to state
measurements at this time; but to
say to individuals who might other
wise report them again the list is as
follows:
Poplar on G. w. Knox's place about
s miles northeast of Yorkville near
Jerusalem church.
White oak on ]. G. McGills place, 2
miles north of Smyrna.
White oak on A. +. Burris's place, 7
miles northwest of Yorkville.
Water oak on ]. l.. Rainey's place
nine miles southwest of Sharon.

candidate for the house of represen-
tatives, that his name had been left
off the legislative ticket, the editor of
The Yorkville Enquirer made an in
vestigation which disclosed that the
candidates for county supervisor,
county superintendent of education
and probate judge had also been
omitted.
This meant that unless Messrs. Fl. G..
Brown, John f. Carroll and j. l..
Houston and w. r. Bradford received
some votes their elections would go
by default and it would be necessary
to have a. special election to fill their
respective offices.
County Chairman Marion, when his
attention was called to the matter,
stated that Immediately after the pri-
maries, he had reported the Demo-
cratic nominees to the state Democrat
ic Executive committee, and since the
preparation of the ticksts was up to
that body, he had no further respon-
sibility. ..
In order to save the situation, at the
instance of the Editor of The York
vile Enquirer, number of full state
and county tickets were prepared on
typewriters, by Mr.. J. L. Houston
and Misses Helen Thomasson and
Wilma Quinn, and these having been
put in the Yorkville box, the election
has been made legal.
Although no reports have been re-
ceived to that effect, the presumption
is that for want Of the necessary tick
cts, county officers were not voted for
over the county; but since there was
no oppositioL,, the tickets deposited in
Yorkville are sufficient to legalize the
election of the officers named.

All the polls throughout the county

Through a serious oversight in the
preparation Of the tickets, which were
printed in Columbia, the county cleo

enforcement of the law in IFS intor

Enforcement Of the law in its integ-
rity depends as much on the righteous
personality of the trial judge as it does
on any other consideration. Whisky
drinking is violation of the law, and
no man who drinks whisky is fit to pre-
side as a trial judge. Gambling at
cards is violation of the law, and the
man who plays poker has absolutely
no right on the judicial bench. A man
who will make a debt dishonesty or
who will make no effort ID pay his
honest debts, is at heart a criminal,
and that such a man should I've hon
ored with the responsibility and au-
thOrity Of a Judge is unthinkablc All
judges are presumed to be above such
things, Of course.

There is quite n quantity of small
grain being sowed over the county
and farmers who have not yet sowed
are arranging to do so. But of course
there are those who will keep on
promising themselves to sow and not
do it.
Messrs. John McIIwaine and r. a.
Barnett, both of Ebenezer township,
who were in Yorkville yesterday, said
that the farmers of their respective
neighborhoods are certainly not fooling
about sowing small grain. They have
never seen so much plowing at this
season and the sowing seems to be on
ly a question of getting the seed.

The recent ruling of the Federal
courts giving prohibition agents the
right of searching for liquor without
search warrants, is the right thing. In
spite of the fine spun theories, the
former ruling merely served as pro-

Cotton may go higher and it may go

enough to pay his debts. With the

Discussing the matter of high
school athletics with the reporter yes
terday afternoon Prof. E. A. Mont
gomery, superintendent of the York
vile school said There has been
more or less dispute and misunder-
standing among different high school
teams over South Carolina relative
to the spirit of high school athletics.
Even though all the members of
team might technically meet the re-
quirements of the high school asso-
citation the team is guilty of a serious
breach of right if it does not conform
In spirit as we'll as letter requirements.
For instance, athletics-any form Of
ball is a secondary matter-a very
secondary matter-in high school life.
IL some boy even though he meet the
technical requirements is going to
school merely to play football or base
ball, then that boy should not be al
lowed to play and no superintendent
should allow him to be on team.
Athletics in high schools Of this state
should be under the personal super
vision of the respective superintend-
ents, and the various school heads
should be personally responsible for
each member Of an athletic team of
their respective schools. I heartily
favor high school athletics; but favor
rigid requirements-moral and spiritu-
al requirements if you will, in addition
to mere technical requirements. And
when find that schools are not living
up to the same standard that I re-
quire for my athletic teams I want
nothing to do with that school. So
far as being member of any asso-
citation my team can schedule plenty
of games outside any association"

ed about like this: One fellow with
little black mule was anxious to
swap even for n roam mare that

the mule was doing his best to con-
vince the owner Of the mare that the
little mule wouldn't kick. In the heat
of his declaration he got too close to
the hind legs of the mule and the
aforesaid legs began to launch out
vigorously, forcing the owner to fly
for safety. There was no trade.
