FIRE PREVENTION

Governor Harvey has issued Il proc
lamation setting apart the present
week bebnning yesterday as "Fire
Prevention" week. The proclamation
is as follows: ..
Whereas, the ceaselcss fire waste is
n heavy tax on the accumulated
property of the state and is in large
measure Il needless disaster due to
lack of thought and Carc-ncarly
every accident being traceable to hu-
man negligence:
And whereas, the education of the
children should include training in
useful, practical economies and pru-
depce in prevention of all avoidable
ills; ....
And whereas, since the ways of liv
ing are largely the results of habits
which may be constructively cOntrOll-
ed by iteration and reiteratiOn, it is
well at least once Il year to direct the
attention of the people and especially
of the young in the schools to the evil
of preventablc fire losses and to the
duty of being careful to avoid causing
so called accidental fires
"Now, therefore, |, Wilson G.. Harvey,
governor of the state of South Caro-
ma. 90 hereby issue TINS, my pfocla-
nation designating the days from
October to 9, inclusive, as Fire Pre-
""''t'on Week eliminating in Monday,

state. especially the school authorities
and the teachers and the children in
the schools, to observe this week and

means OF preventing accidental fires
and of eyingrishing fires, and likewise

Former Representative Emmett W.
Pursley of Santiago said yesterday
that he would be candidate for the
office of superintendent Of the state
penitentiary, the position to be filled
by the next general assembly which
meets in January.
"a number of my friends over the
state" said Mr.. Pursley yesterday in
making his announcement, have for
some time been insisting that L offer
for the place and I have decided to
offer. 1 believe that my long expert
ence as a farmer and business man
would well equip me for the important
office and l have secured many f1atter-
ing promises of support"
Mr.. Pursley has served York county
for six years as a member of the gen.
eral assembly. He was defeated for
reelection in the primary on August
30, running fifth on a ticket of eight
candidates although he received more
than a majority of the votes cast.

state penitentiary is Mr.. A. K. Sanders
of Sumter county and it is presumed
that he will be candidate for re-
election.
It is understood that Mr.. Pursley
already has the endorsement of the
York county legislative delegation in
his candidacy for superintendent of the
penitentiary.

The national prohibition laws are
among the best and most wholesome
that have ever been placed on the
statute books of this government. 1t
does not help anybody morally, phys
ically or spiritually to drink intoxicat-
ing liquors. Instead, the use of intoX-
icating liquor only works harm. 1t
ruins any man who sticks to 1T long
enough. BY long enough is meant over
a period of years. There is no defense
fer the use of liquor. Even the man
who claims personal privilege must
admit, if he is at all reasonable, that
he is not fairly entitled to the enjoy
ment of q privilege that necessarily
involves his interference with the COM
fort and pleasure of other people. If
we admit it is a privilege to commit
suicide, then also we should admit it
q privilege to drink and get drunk.
But the law condemns both drinking
and suicide, and neither can be toler-
ated by those who would respect the
law.

That star feature programme that
Winthrop college is announcing today,
will compel widespread attention from
those people who know how TO appre-
ciate the superior value of it. 1t is
commonly recognized that because of
Wintntop's!> comprehensive enterprise
in this connection, the people Of the
territory surrounding and within au-
tomobile reach of the college, have
had advantages in the enjoyment of
the national and international special
lists that are not ordinarily available
except in the large centres of popula-
ton. For q number of years past
Winthrop has been securing the best
that were to be had. This years list
has been selected : with all the dis
eliminating care of the past aided by
past experience. And in this connec-
ton we desire to make this practical
suggestion: 1t is not probable that the
Winthrop authorities will feel war
ranted in keeping this announcement
constantly before the public, and to
those who are interested it is suggest
ed that they cut out this splendid pro-
gramme as here published and file or
paste it away where it will be easily
accessible for future reference.

A ferocious bull dog is to be an i'm
portant witness in a murder case at
the November term of the court of
general sessions, according to state
ment made the other day by a lawyer
interested in the case. The bull dog
will be one of the main witnesses in
the case Of the State against Alma
Williams, a negro woman of Rock Hill,
whom, it is expected will be tried on
the charge of killing her husband
Harper Williams several weeks ago.
The bull dog will testify for the de-
fensc Mute testimony, he will give Of
course, although he will be placed on
exhibition before the jury in order to
have the members of the jury think
for a moment how they would like to
be attacked by such a fierce canine.
1t is claimed by the defendant, Alma
Williams Il bright mulatto woman
whose reputation, by the way is none
too good, that her husband, Harper
Williams at such times as he came
home under the influence of mean
corn liquor which was quite often
would sick his mean bull dog on her
after he himself had beaten her to his
hearts content.

Pastor Didn't Fall For n

Pastor Didn't Fall For 1.-THE
Laurlnburg Exchange learns that at
the close of the last service of a re-
vival meeting at the Methodist church,
five whiterobcd Klansmen marched
into the church and handed Rev.
Frank Culberth, pastor of the Caledo-
MIA charge, an envelope containing $50
in cash as an expression of their ap-
probation for the virile gospel he had
preached during the meetings. Kluxers
are accustomed to giving surprises
themselves and perhaps they were not
prepared for the surprise Mr. Culberth
gave them. The preacher, according
to the news story in the Exchange,
without hesitation, returned the offer
ing to the Klansmen and frankly, but
kindly told them that he could not ac-
cept it, that he does not approve Of the
order and is not in sympathy with it
and it's works; whereupon the Klans-
men, rerlarking, "Well see you later"
marched out of the house with their
rejected gift.

Mail Matter of the Second Class.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1922.

One thing we. cannot understand
about the Greeks; is, What do they
want with a king: anyway? Most Of
those European people have the same
trouble; but they would all be better
off if they would discard their kings
and establish republics. If there were
fewer kings there would not be SO
many wars, and the people would
make more progress in industry and
art.

sple, it pqtttiei gorerinpent OF the city
itself nnder, an, International commits
sion; leaving Turkish sovereignty
hardly so much as a name.
Leaving his sultan and those who
agreed with him in Constantinople,
Kemal Pasha hurried into the interior
of Asia Minor and began stirring up
the real Turks against a humiliation
that would mean the complete blotting
out of the Turkish empire. The pro-
visions of the treaty Of Sevres being
TO the tremendous advantage OF
Greece, King Constantine Immediately
put his armies into the field and
sought to overcome the Turkish Ma
tionalists under Kemal before they
could mobilize their armies for effect
i've resistance. -....
The Greeks were successful at first;
but as soon as the Turks were able to
get their forces in shape the tide of
success turned, and the Greeks were
swept out of Anatolia and Angora lock,
stock and barrel.
Then came the debacle as the result
of which the Greek army AID the
Greek government welt to pieces.
Following the PRONUNCIATION of the
treaty of Sevres, the Turks had been
driven out of eastern Thrace by the
thousands, the country being taken up
by the Greeks.
Such of the Greek army rs was able
to escape from Kemal Pasha to the
north retreated across the so-called
neutral zone into eastern Thrace, and
when Kemal came along behind, he
showed no signs of stopping on the
southern shores of the straits.
Here is where England bristled up.
"The neutrality of the straits and the
decentralization of Constantinople
have been agreed upon," she said, "and
if you violate this agreement we will
fight you"
France and England rather thought
that the Turkish Nationalists were
acting within their rights in the mat
ter; but England would have nothing
of the kind. ,'
During several days the neutral zone
to the south. of the straits was filled
with armed hosts, the Turks coming
in from Asia Minor on the trail Of the
Greeks, and the British gathering re-
Inducements from all directions.
1t will have to be admitted that Ke-
NAL did not show the white feather.
He took the ground that if the territory
was neutral he had as much right
there as did the British and persist
emily passed the dead lines that the
British had drawn.
In the meantime terms of n confer
ence were tentatively agreed upon and
Kemal has consented to talk it over.
The Turks are willing for the COM
plete naturalization of the straits un-
der Turkish sovereignty; but they
must also keep control of Constantine
pie and be allowed to re-occupy east
ern Thrace, and resume sovereignty
over the ancient capital of Adrianople
The trouble is not entirely settled;
but the outlook is that some kind Of Il
permanent agreement will be reached
within the next few days.

night at English's.
Irene Bordoni, who has the title
role, is truly a French DOLL" She
not only has personal charm. but is
fairly dazzling and is really a great
artist. Her ability to act is not only
reflected in the dramatic moments OF

bers. She sings just two songs, You

It is typically French and safe In the

this one object in mind and they de-
vote their lives that this dream may

in with their plan, but when she
finally falls in love her whole scene

place. its theme is downright silly.
Ruth Dangan is the wife of Col. John

wife is mentally in love with Capt

that she is going to leave him for the
embraces of another man. So the
two lovers decide to wait in hope that
they can marry some day.
