PROMINENT MASON
ENTERS OBJECTION
the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
l notice there is a bill before the
legislature to exempt Masonic temples
from taxation. AS a Mason in good
standing and great believer in it's
character and mission protest
against its passage. have not heard
single argument in its favor and, be-
sides, it ts vicious and dangerous
precedent. I know that one Of it's
strong points is the dispensaton OF
charity. / never knew, before, that
the order is an object Of charity Com
posed AS it is, generally. Of the best
and most substantial people in the
country, and requiring an entrance fee
of $40, this effort to dodge taxes is
cheap and unworthy Of the great in
stitution. I hope, as q past grand
master of the order. if put up to Gov
ernor Cooper, he will veto it. It is so
thoroughly out Of harmony with the
history, practices and inner workings
of our fraternity that am greatly dis
appointed over this movement. 1t is
the first time since have been con-
nected with it that have heard of it's
playing the beggar. With no claim to
superior qualities of what is right and
proper and with no reflection upon
the promoters Of this tax4dodging
scheme, I know and feel that it is not
in keeping with the spirit and ca
pacity Of Masonry to shirk any just
and righteous obligations to the pub
lie, the state or to charity. 1t is pre-
eminently not a charity organization:
except to others. I have been amazed
that it received any favorable con-
sideration at the hands Of the legisla-
ture.

Judge Smith Denies Right Of Officers

OF interest to the bar Of the state
are decisions Of Judge H. A. NJ.
Smith Of the federal court in the case
axainst J. NJ. Chicco, white, ct al,
tried last week for possession Of
iiquor.
a great part OF the evidence swung
around the right to search q mans
dwelling, office or store without q
search warrant, and the fact that
some evidence was secured by forci-
bly, taking a bunch Of keys from the
nekro, Willie Hills, indicted in the
case.
Judge Smith ruled that no dwelling,
office or store could be searched with
out q search warrant. and the negro
claimed that the building in which
the nquor was found was his office
and shop. However. the place was
vacant, except Tor the wnlSKey, ana
Judge Smith ruled that in that case
the officers Of the law had a right to
search without warrant, whether Of
flee or dwelling.
The judge also ruled that all evi-
dence collected from the forcible seiz-
ure Of the keys should be thrown out
and could not be used against, the de-
fendant.
Formerly Officers Of the law had
the right to search between sunrise
and sunset without q warrant, but that
was changed by the supreme court in
the case Of Lawrence Amos, negro
from Sumter county, few years ago,
this being the latest change on this
subject Of search warrants, accord
ing to District Attorney Weston.
Chicco and Hills were both found
guilty but notice of appeal was filed.
Both men are under suspended sem
tence OF the Charleston county circuit

TRAINS TO SLOW

Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Greenwood, Jan. 21.-Riding
through a biting, bitter wind, Col.
Robert B. Watson, an sc year old
Confederate veteran, reached Green
wood Tuesday about noon on 100
mile horseback trip from Ridge
Spring in Saluda county to Green
vile, where he, will visit his son, Maj.
r. F. Watson. Colonel Watson re-
fuses to travel by rail preferring to
ride his favorite saddle horse in spite
OF weather conditions.
Two years ago Colonel Watson rode
from Ridge Springs to Greenville in
the dead Of winter, reaching Green
wood in binding snow storm Stop
ping until the snow ceased with an
old comrade, Capt. J. G. jenkins,
Colonel Watson resumed his Journey
in the slush, reaching Greenville on
: hedule.
The gala,..t old cavalier left Ridge
Springs Monday morning in spite Of
threatening rain. He spent Monday
night with a friend near Cambridge
and rode into Greenwood Tuesday
morning, although the clouds threat
ened snow and the wind was bitterly
cold. He expects to spend a few
days with Maj. S. P. Brooks, a kins-
man and then continue his journey to
Greenville.
The 100-uile horseback trip to
Greenville in midwinter is an annual
feat, though not regarded as such by
Colonel Watson. He does not want to
be bothered with waiting for street
cars and automobiles when he reaches
his destination, he says, SO he rides
horseback.
As agile as !outh in the saddle, COL
oneI Watson is troubled slightly in
waking by two old wounds re-
ceived in the battle OF Gettysburg, but
Colonel Watson doesn't walk if his
Havorite horse, Dolly" can get there.

GERMAN CABLES

New York. Jan. 21.-Clarence H.
Mackay, president Of Commercial Ca
bles Postal Telegraph system has an
nounced that his company has just
completed a contract with the German
Atlantic Gable company, a German
corporation, under the terms Of
which direct cable communication
with Germany will be restored after a
lapse of eight years. (
This contract, which has Just been
signed, calls for laying a new cable
between New York and Enaden. Ger

Azores, to be completed and in op-
Grafton by October 1928. The arr$nge-
ment provides for the Commercial
Cable company to lay a. cable from
New York to Azores, (2.ao2 miles)
and for the German company TO make
the connection between thf Azores
and Emden (1,sss miles). The two
sections vii lbe joined at fhe Azores
station and all messages wifi be trans
ferred automatically from one to the
other giving what virtually viii be
instantaneous service {between the
two countries.

|. The laying of this new cable is the
first attempt ut resumption of direct
communication between the United
States and Germany. During the war
there was no cable communication be-
tween Germ fany and the United States.
Since the signing of the armistice all
cable messages sent between the two
countries have had to pass either
acknowledgement or France. This plan
has NOT proven satisfactory to Ameri-
can business interests and the new ca

widespread demand on the part of
commercial houses, banking institu-
tons and others interested in the
trade relations of the United States

tibn facilities. Prior to the outbreak

cables between the United States and

again, the close being 10 points under

Labor conditions in this country
