Of peddlers OF drugs and liquor. The
officers declined to make his name
public prior to the arrest. Six men
already are under arrest as the result
of disclosures made yesterday by Mrs.

investigation. The police also were
endeavoring to learn som mething OF the
records Of the six men.

met by virtue Of a coalition of the Con-
servative and Liberal parties. There Is
very little in common as between the
fundamental aspirations of the two
parties. Lloyd George is rather more
Of a Liberal than a Conservative
While the premier was at Cannes,
George Younger, head of the Conserva-
tive organization engineered a revolt in
his party based on demands for protec-
tive tariff legislation and restoration OF
the veto power to the house of lords.
The premier made private threats OF
resignation at the time If the breach
should continue to widen. The Con-
servatives are said to be growing more
insistent, claiming that they can carry
the country without the help of the
Liberals. The resignation Of the pre-
mier will not call for the resignation OF
the cabinet; but only Of such members
as are in sympathy with him, provided
they are inclined to resign. The king
can appoint new prime minister If he
sees proper. It is considered reasona-
bly, certain however, that the present
government cannot last long after the
retirement Of Lloyd George and that
general election will soon follow.

Columbia State of this morning
After a general agreement was reached
last night to include in the Atkinson
public service commission bill an
amendment. so that the law would not
break up existing contracts or inter
fere with municipality owned utilities,
the senate by an overwhelming ma
jority passed the public service COM
mission measure, thus ending the most
determined fight of the legislative year.
When the amendments to exempt con-
tracts already existing and municipal
plants were agreed to the whole fight
on the bill practically collapsed, only
seven votes being cast to strike out the
enacting words as against 81 not TO
strike out the cnacting words. The
fight to recall the railroad commission
measure from the hands Of the govcr-
nor may be resumed this morning.

The presidents plan OF creating re-
yo.ying fund of 3O,O00, ,OO0to be used in
the encouragement Of American ship
ping is q good one and should receive
the endorsement Of all patriotic Amerl-
cans, regardless Of party. AS for The
Yorkville Enquirer we do not hesitate
to say that we believe in doing what-
ever is necessary to develop the finest
merchant marine in the world, regard
less of cost and by whatever means
may be necessary. The fearful handi-
cap under which America labored for
lack Of an adequate merchant marine
at the outbreak of the World war Is
still fresh in the minds Of those VINO
faced those distressing times and that
means all adult Americans of average
1t seems to us that all
forward looking Americans ought to be
able to appreciate the desirability OF
great merchant marine, not only be-
cause Of it's importance in time Of war;
but because of it's much greater i'm
portance in the development Oh COM
merce in time of peace. America is a
great agricultural and manufacturing
nation, producing immense surpluses in
all kinds of commodities. These sur
pluses can best be disposed of in for
eign markets, and they can be disposed
of to better advantage when carried in
American bottoms than when carried in
foreign bottoms. The subsidy neces-
sary for the development of a great
American merchant marine is a mere
bagatelle compared with the ability Of
this country to furnish the same and
still more, insignificant when measured
by the immense advantages to be Sc
cured for the country at large.

THE BRIDGE AT RoDDEYS
Citizen of the Vicinity Asks Some
Pertinent Questions.
/. Yorkv!lle ENQUIRER.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer.
What has become of the building of
the bridge over the Southern railroad
near Roddeys for the National High
way lust as soon after the holidays
as the railroad can assemble the ma
terial? Was this said by the railroad
officials in good faith or was it a ruse
TO bridge over n term Of court with
out being molSted?
Is it not time for our officers to look
into this matter?
Is it wise to take thousands of dol
lars of the state and county funds and
spend it constructing q stretch Of the
national highway where the land had
to be purchased as we'll as graded on
each side Of the railroad, then pur-
chasing all the dirt that it took to
surface the same, then let the road
stretch lie idle for the want Of
bridge?
l am not accusing our officers of
negligence at all; but is 1T not getting
about time the matter was looked
into?

No less than six different people have
spoken to The Yorkville Enquirer in
commentator of the enterprise in pub
fishing the speech of Congressman Ste
yenson re-establishing the fact that
Andrew Jackson was born in South
Carolina. The significance of this cir
cumstance is that this speech must
have been pretty generally read and
appreciated, for the experience of the
editor over many years is that it is the
exception rather than the rule for peo-
pie to speak to him personally about
articles that have appeared in the pa
per.

According to Clarence Poe Of the
Progressive Farmer, the boil weevil has
reduced the cotton crop Of, the South
only about 15 per cent, but it has added
tremendously to the production of the
crop. He observes that while the boil
weevil has entirely abolished cotton
raising in some localities, in all the
more northern ATTITUDES of the belt, es-
pecially in higher attitudes, the farm
ers by the exercise of greater care and
by putting in more work, have been
able to hold the pest in check. His ad-
vice under the circumstance is to re-
duce the cotton acreage by diversified
ton of crops. He thinks that if the
farmers generally can come to one
agreement to limit production to eight
million bales they can realize fair
profit on the crop regardless of the
weevil.

THE GASOLINE TAX

According to information obtained
from Mr.. Tom Marshall, Of the Mar
shall on Company, York county Will
pay about $4,000 year on account OF
the gasoline tax Of 2 cents gallon.
Mr.. Marshall explained that he was
not in a position to give exact figures
but he knows how much gas his COM
pany sold last year, and he has a
pretty good idea Of how much the
other companies doing business in the
county sold.
According to his estimate the total
Is somewhere in the neighborhood OF
1,250,000 gallons. He thought the
exact amount would be little less
than that rather than little over, and
if 1,25O,OO0 gallons is right, then the
tax would be $4,000.
In Mr.. Marshall's opinion the town
of Yorkville would pay about $4,000 OF
this amount.

YoRK'S AUTOMOBILES

There are 2,716 motor vehicles in
York county, including trucks and
motor cycles; but not including trac-
tors.
The auditors office shows 2,O63. cars
of various kinds returned for taxation
for the year 1921; but there is no
record of the number of cars bought
during the past year.
In the clerks office there is a regis
tration of all the cars in the county,
n card for each car on hand January
l of last year and a card for each car
registered since. A careful count OF
these cards shows that they number
2,716.
The figures as to how many tractors
there are in the county are not avail
able, and will not be available until
the auditor has had opportunity to
sum them uD.

What South Carolina is needing
more than anything else now is some
body to show the way for a real reduc-
ton of expenses. Just anybody can
find ways to spend the peoples money
if they are allowed to do it. We have
had some notable examples during the
past six or eight years-all kinds Of
schemes inaugurated in the name of
progress, taking money at an acceler-
ated rate. 1t is time now to cut gov
ernment expenses down to necessities,
such as the upkeep of the schools, up
keep Of the roads, upkeep Of the penal
and necessary charitable institutions.
1t is time to cut out experiments and
fads. With tho government dcvotinG
itself only to absolutely necessary gov
ernmental business, and the producers
of the state left freer to manage their
own affairs, there will be more general
satisfaction and more wholesome prog
ress. 1t is we'll enough to distribute the
burdens of government more equita-
bly,; but don't put too much on the
government and its cut appropriations.

AS we see it the script plan for pay
ing the bonus contemplates that the
soldiers must pay heavy interest to the
money lenders. Indeed it question as
to whether the award will be as much
a bonus to the soldiers as to the mon
ey lenders. Why not give the soldiers
the bonus in legal tender. If the cred
it of the government is good security
for script bearing interest, it ought to
be good for legal tender without inter-
est. The cost to the country as a
whole will be about the same either
way: but the legal tender plan will dis
tribute the burden with absolute equal
ity.

Coliseum, and while the hall was by

would endanger the shoe industry Of
the United States because it had shoes
