MAN AND WOMAN RELEASED

Saying that she believed her husband
had got religion" since he has been
confined in the York county Jail and
that she is always willing to help
anybody who is trying to do better,
Mrs. Henry McMahan of the Santiago
section Of Kings Mountain township
came to Yorkvillc Wednesday morning
and insisted upon the release from Jail
of her husband Henry McMahan and
young woman, Viola McMahan, 1S,
who claims to be the sister Of Henry
McMahan.
Mrs. McMahan had the two COM
mitted to Jail several weeks ago on a
warrant in which she charged incest.
Magistrate Fred Black released the
two on their own recognizance and the
three left the courthouse together for
their home in Kings Mountain town
ship. go,
Whether there was or is any basis
for the grave charge that the wife
made against her husband and her
alleged sister, -in-law is a matter of
doubt in the minds of the authorities.
One Of the Yorkville ministers is said
to have interested himself somewhat
in the plight of the young McMahan
girl and the suggestion was made yes
terday that it might be that he
brought influence to bear on Mrs. Nc
Mahan to Withdraw the warrant.
While Viola McMahan steadfastly
insists that she is the sister Of Henry
McMahan, and Henry insists the same
thing, officers have expressed some
doubt about it. 1t is said that there is
little or no physical resemblance be-
tween the two and the wife is alleged
to have said that she never heard that
her husband had sister until the
young woman came to live with them.
The McMahans are tenant farmers
living on the farm of a we'll known
farmer of Kings Mountain township.
Officers who made the arrest of the
two some weeks ago said that the wife
was the maddcst woman" they ever
saw at the time the arrest was made
and they were greatly surprised when
she came to town Wednesday morning
and insisted that the two be dis
missed.

Coal is moving quite freely of late
passing over the various roads in cars
and in solid trains.
They are putting a new coat Of top
soiling on the Ebenezer end of the
Yorkville-Rock Hill road.
It is the present crop of weevils that
that is most dangerous-the weevils
that hibernate through the winter
These are the weevils that should be
killed at almost any cost.
It is estimated that more than rs per
cent of all the cotton that is being
picked now is going on sale as soon as
it is ginned. They are turning it loose,
That has reference TO all the cotton
that is not under the control of the
Cooperative Marketing association
This cotton is going to designated
warehouses within the county and to
concentration points like Spartanburg
Greenvilie, Columbia, etc. The own
ers of this cotton are allowed 10 cents
q bale for shipping it, and after it has
been shipped they are allowed an ad-
vance on it Of - cents a pound at
per cent interest. Where they require
no advance they a-e paid 6 per cent
interest on II cent; a pound. This to
even up. The common feeling among
cotton men is that prices will go high
er in the winter and the members OF
the Cooperative Cotton association will
make killing; but as to how that will
be, of course, can best be told after
the pending transactions have beer
completed.

EARIEs WANTS BACK.

William c. FAIRIES, held in the state
penitentiary in Columbia on a charge
of Staying four members of the Tay,-
lor family at Glover, September 6,
wants the authorities to bring him
back to the Jail at Yorluille to be con-
fined here until he is, fried for his al
legged crime, it is stated.
Chief of Police John A. Jackson of
Clover, said "Wednesday that FAIRIES
had stated that he was not given the
attention he thought he deserved by
the authorities in the state peniten-
tiary and that he feared he would die
unless his surroundings we're changed.
His idea was that he, would be taken
care of better in the York county Jail
and he would have the satisfaction Of
knowing that he was nearer his rela-
tiveg and friends.
While there is no certainty that such
is fact, it is expected that the case
against FAIRIES will be brought to the
attention of the fall term of the court
Of general sessions which convenes on
November 20, with Judge James E.
Peurifoy Of Walterboro, presiding.

HALT AT MUDANIA
Confcrees Came to an Abrupt Hitch
and Separated.

There was a sudden weakening up of
the conference at Mudania yesterday
afternoon.
The object Of the conference is a
preliminary agreement on the matters
10 be discussed at the general confer
cncc to be held later at Venice, or
some other point, provided the pre-
liminarics get that far.
But according to dispatches of yes
terdaY, the conference struck Il Snag
carly in the proceedings. The exact
cause of the trouble was not given out ;
but gossip had it that it related to
evacuation of Constantinoplc, or posi-
bly, the participation Of Russia.
The Turks made Il proposition look
ing to the immediate evacuation of
Constantinoplc; but the British were
not willing to agree to this evacuation
until further understanding had been
reached. The Italians agreed with the
British and the French with the Turks.
Anyhow there was Il general break
up with the British and Italians re-
turning to Constantinople.
Another cause Of friction, it is pretty
certain, is that the Turks are insisting
on the participation of the Russians in
the conference and that neither the
British, French nor Italians are willing
for this at this stage of the proceed

TIL, outstanding feature of the pro-
cccdings of the annual convention of
the American Bankers association,
| held in New York this week, beginning
Tuesday, was manifestation of SEN
timcnt in favor of canccllinG the AL
| lied debts to America. Twenty-thrCe
| thousand American banks were repre-
sentcd in the convention by 10000 del
egatcs. 1t was Thomas w. Lamont,
associate of J. i. Morgan, who gave
voice to the suggestion that created
the stampede. The house of Morgan
is the recognized representative in
America of the international financial
control that centres in London. Inter-
national finance has been crippled for
some years by reason of those trc-
mendouS debts that the foreigners owe
America, and these debts must be
taken care of before the functioning of
international finance can he restored
to u prc-war basis. 1t is the task of
Morgan & Company to secure the
cancellation of these debts. Mr.. la
mont made u preliminary suggestion
in that direction in the American
Bankers convention of u year ago;
but the idea did not take so well. 1t
appears that the propaganda work of
the past few years is now finding cx-
preston, and the outlook is that
America will be INDUCED to surrender
the advantage she secured during the
period she was left free for business
while the others were fighting for
their existence.

MONEY SAVED COUNTY

No less than $4,000 was saved To
York county by the removal of the old
Roddey's bridge from its position in
Catawba river and using the bridge
materials TO build bridge over
Crowder's Creek at Riddles Mill in
Bethel township which bridge has just
been completed. The bridge at the
mill is about 1877 IL feet in length and
1t could not be built new for less than
$4,000 while the cost to the county for
the whole job was not more than
$4,000.
1t took a force from the chain gang
about eight days of working time to
hoist the steel girders and other parts
out of Catawba river at the site of the
old Roddey bridge and transport it to
riddles. People living in the vicinity
Of the old Roddey bridge site caid it

less than three contractors had come
