MRS. BELCHER COMMENDED
FOR ASSISTING SOLDIERS

Mrs. T. j. Belcher. Home Service
Secretary for our local Red Cross
Chapter. has been commended by
the National Society as being a most
efficient Home Secretary. Her work
has largely been with the ex-service
men. Just this past week she had
a case for young ex-service man
in this county. His record had been
lost. and for long period he was
unable to get in touch with the gov
ernment. Thru her agency his
claim has been recognized and it is
expected that within a very short
time this young man will be placed
in a vocational school.
Another ex-service man is suffer-
ing with serious mental trouble
and is receiving disqualification in
government sanatorium in the east
The hospital authorities where this
man is, thru the Red Cross Head
quarters at Cleveland, asked for
complete family history of this man.
also a detailed statement covering
every phase of the mans health and
mental condition since childhood.
Mrs. Belcher secured all possible in
formation and forwarded same to
Headquarters, and they in turn sent
same to the hospital where it was de-
sired as an aid in giving the young
man mental treatment. We quote
below a portion OF the letter receiv-
ed acknowledging receipt Of this in
formation:
Cleveland. o.. Dec. s, 1921.
To Mrs. Thos. J. Belcher, Home
Service Sec. American Red Cross,
Barbourville. My dear Mrs. Belcher:
1t was indeed a great pleasure to
receive your letter in which you
gave such an explicit and detailed
report on the case of **~"%e%"'&~
We appreciate your efforts and feel
sure the information contained there
in will be of great value to the
Worker in the hospital, as you have
made your report, keeping in mind
the medical side of it. We are send
ing your original copy to the hosp
tai. and again thank you for your
cooperation. (Signed) c. B. Cor
N oil niraptnr
The work that Mrs. Belcher has
been doing since she has been
Home Secretary has not been brot
to the attention of the public. and
many an ex-service man owes the
recognition of his claim to her un-
firing and persistent effort in their
behalf.
All ex-service men who still have
unsettled cases, and those who have
not yet filed claim chould take the
matter up with Mrs. Belcher. The
time limit for filing claims has been
and those who are entitled
to compensation should file claim at
an early date. 1t is probable that
many of the unsettled claims in our
county could be settled at an early
date if taken up right away The
Red Cross Chapter is desirous of
giving all possible aid to ex-service
men. JOHN o. GROSS,
Chairman.

PRECINCT TALLY SHEETS.

Along with the tickets, oaths for the
managers and return blanks, the CCun-
ty Democratic Executive committee is
this year providing the managers of
election at each precinct with printed
tally sheets with q view to facilitating
the counting of the votes.
The furnishing of tally sheets is an
innovation for this county. 1t has not
been done heretofore; but, as all who
have had experience in counting sew
eral hundred long tickets after hard
days work can readily appreciate, the
ready printed sheet will make for an
appreciable saving of time and labor.
The tally sheet blank contains the
names of all the candidates, with ruled
lines after each name TO facilitate the
setting down Of the votes received by
each.
Ordinarily, after an election where
the need of tally sheets has not been
anticipated, there is considerable loss
of time in prep2ring them-an aver
age Of ten minutes or more at each
box: but because of the thoughtful
ness of the executive committee this
less of time should be avoided next
Tuesday.

WITHIN THE TOWN

The railing on the overhead bridge
on the Chester road needs attention.
Charged with being drunk and
disorderly and resisting arrest, Arthur
ID. Nicely was committed TO Jail on
Wednesday night by Chief of Police
Steele and Policeman Parrott. 1t is
alleged that Nicely attempted TO shoot
one OF the officers with rifle prior
to his arrest ut his home. He for
feited n bond of 500 in mayors court.
y warrant was issued before Magis-
trate Black yesterday at the instance
of Chief Steele charging Nicely with
assault and battery with intent to
kill. Officers, it is said went to ar
rest Nicely after receiving telephone
calls from neiEhbors to the effect that
he was disturbing the peace. Neely

Leon Smith, pitching ace of the
Cotton Belt club was hit freely yester-
day afternoon and Yorkville defeated

ball on the local lot. The Cotton Belt
players somehow didn't seem to have
their accustomed pep" and were un-
able to hit when hits were needed
Youngblood pitching for Yorkville,
managing to keep them scattered. One
OF the features of the game was a
beautiful catch oil hard line drive by
'Paccr' Burris, centerfielder for the
home town. Smith caused many of the
locals to whiff the air but the boys
managed to hit when hits were need
ed and hence the majority score. While
the game as whole was rather
lethargic and listless at times there
were flashes of real baseball and the
fans seemed to enjoy it. Batteries:

According to all the evidence that
has been presented so far, about the
only reason that the Columbia State
has for accusing Mr.. Blease for failure
to vote the Democratic ticket two years
ago was that the Wilson administration
had ignored the majority of South Car
olina Democrats of which Mr.. Blease
was the chosen leader. The State ev-
idently judges Mr. Blease by It's own
standards. IL is well known fact that
the State was once an ardent supporter
of Grover Cleveland and continued so
until Mr.. Cleveland refused to appoint
it's editor to the head of n consulate in
China, after which ii became n bitter
enemy. If Mr.. Wilson had recognized
in South Carolina the majority faction
of the Democratic party Of which Mr..
Blease was the head, we have no idea
that the Columbia State would have
continued q supporter of Mr.. Wilson.
All the facts in the record indicate 9TH
crwsc; yet without anything to go on
other than mere assumption, the State
is bending all it's efforts to create the
impression that Mr.. Blease is disloyal
to his party.

It has turned out that the parole of
George L. Wilson, who was afterward
convicted of the Ramey murder in An
derson, was not such n terrible sin aft
er all. 1t was stated in dispatches sent
out from Columbia last Tuesday that
Wilson and Emerson were pardoned by
Blease. They were included among
the "ten thousand" which, according
to the Greenville News, Blease had
turned loose on the community. The
Columbia State also credited the par
don of Wilson to Blease. And it was
terrible crime against society, because
if it had not been for this act on the
part of Blease this Ramey murder
would not have been committed. But
now a careful search of the record has
disclosed that it was not Blease, but
Martin F. Ansel who paroled Wilson.
Wilson was convicted of murder with
a recommendation to mercy in Chero-
kee county, and Ansel granted him a
parole on October 20. 1909 until jan
uary /, 1911, and on the last named
date turned him loose on good be-
havior." 1t is a fact that Blease had
paroled Emerson, who was also con-
victed in connection with the Ramey
killing, and Of course that is the only
parole that matters. The parole of
Wilson by Ansel was regular and all
right.

CASE OF J. N. McGlLL'S SONS.

Attorneys appearing before Judge
Thos. s. Seasc in Spartanburg at
chambers on Tuesday, argued Il mo-
tion to vacate an order issued by the
late Judge Ernest Moore, who ap-
pointed two receivers for j. N Nc
Gilrs Sons Company. who conduct Il
general mercantile business at Hickory
Grove. Motion 10 vacate the order
was brought by w. w. Lewis, Esq, at
torney for the Planters Bank of Sha-
ron, which is said to be the largest
creditor of the McGill's Sons company.

and J. ~ Marion, ESD, resisted the

and J. \. Marion, ESD, resisted the
motion.
The principal argument Of one of
the counsel for the creditors was that
the assets of the company include n
large amount of land which if put on
the block and sold at this time would
bring only a portion of its real value.
1t was further argued that if the prop
erty were sold w. l.. Hill, who is the
principal owner of the Planters Banl:
of Sharon, which is contesting the re-
ceivership, was the only man in the
western section of York county who
would be in financial position to buy
the property and that Mr.. Hill would
he able to buy it for much less than
it's real value.
Judge Sease took the matter under
advisement. 1t was stated by an at
torney that no matter what the
judges decision the affairs will be
kept in the hands of the two receivers
appointed until January l, through
legal delays.
1t was also intimated that a charge
OF usury may be filed against the
Planters Bank of Sharon in connec-
ton with the litigation. The case is
one that promises to occupy the at
tention of the courts and mean a good
thing financially for the lawyers fol
some time to come.

will be a fourth ballot for township
commissioners; but as there is only
one set of candidates there is no dan
ger of confusion. York county voters
are or should be thoroughly familiar
with the county and magisterial tick

is not worth while. The official state

Since we come to think of it, the
present editor of the Columbia State,
w. w. Ball, then editor of the Charles
ton Evening Post, bolted the Bryan
Democratic ticket in 1896 and was a
member OF the volunteer convention
that nominated Palmer ana Buckner on
the Gold Bug" ticket As has been re-
marked elsewhere, the Columbia State
is pretty looking thing to be talking
about political boilers. 1t never has
stood hitched unless it had exactly
what it wanted, ana neither will it ac-
cept the result if Mr.. BLeasc gets the
Democratic nomination in the ap-
