''What VIII You Bet
You Are Right"

Many an argument ends in those
words. And If a wager is laid it is
often hard to get the issue settled.
Many disputes remain forever unde-
termined. There are authorities to be
consulted, books to be read, experts to
be reached. But these are not readily
available to every person. In fact
there are few agencies in the world
that can answer every legitimate
question.
This paper has one in highly or
gained Information Bureau that has
been built up in Washington. Located
as it is in the nations capital, with all
the agencies of the government at its
elbow, this bureau can answer almost
any question.
You are invited to call upon 1t as
freely and as often as you please. The
only cost is two cents in stamps to
pay the postage on the answer to your
letter.

NOVEMBER WEATHER
FAVORABLE To FARM
WORK SAYS REPORT

Farm work progressed satisfactorily
under favorable weather conditions
the first half of November, according
TO the semi-monthly crop notes Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. Fall blowing and seeding of win
ter grains, however, have been back
ward in many sections due to drought
and dry grounds.
Early sown wheat is generally look
iug we'll while the late sown has been
slow in coming up. In the central
Z est the top growth is short but fair
IL even. Recent rains are benefiting
the crop generally. Acreage of fall
rye and barley has been increased in
Tennessee. Wheat fields are being
oastured in eastern Kansas. The acre
age in Texas reported smaller than
last year. The fall crop of oats is
about sown in Texas and sowing is
progressing elsewhere. The rice crop
in the southern states is all harvested.
A large per cent has been thrashed
with low yields general except in
Texas.
The husking of corn has made rapid
progress and is practically completed
in most sections. Much of the crop
has been cribbed Yields vary greatly
although up to the average in most
sections except in some southern
states, where they are light Quality
is generally good, but is reported to be
under the average in Texas. The crop
is half out of the fields in Iowa and
part OF Missouri. A considerable por
ton is going to market.
Livestock is reported in good con
dition as a rule with scattered cases
of hog cholera. Cattle are generally
in good flesh except in droughty areas
in Kentucky, Texas and Oklahoma
Full feeding has begun in many sec
lions and stocks of feed are generally
ample. Range movement is decreas
ing in South Dakota, but is still heavy
in Montana where shortage of cars
still exists. From Colorado and near
by states the marketing of cattle is
still heavy partly due to lack of feed.
The supply of farm labor is ample
except in the Louisiana sugar district
In the Dakotas, Montana, Iowa, and
Missouri the roads are reported to be
in bad condition, retarding hauling
The snow has hindered the beet har
vest in Colorado and Utah and yields
of beets and beans in Colorado are
said to be unsatisfactory

Notes
BY Post c. Scribe

For the benefit of those members
of Post G who do not attend our meet
ings, the scribe wishes to inform them
that our chaplain's name is the Rev.
MCLEAN Work, pastor of the Reid
Memorial Presbyterian church. It will
do all members good to make his ac-
quaintance.
Members of Post who do not at
tend either the business or social
meetings are sure missing something.
1t seems that in almost all associa-
lions a few of the members do most
of the work.
We are glad to know that Post CT
has some good fellows whose activi-
ties in T. P. A. work make it pos
sible for Richmond to have a post of
the Travellers Protective association,
and it is the earnest desire of all that
we have a better attendance at our
clubrooms. Come up, boys, and bring
your smile with you.
Well, how about ladies' night fo-
some time during the month of De
cember? Seems to us, about the mid
die of the month would be the time.
If left until later the holiday season
will be on and home affairs will keep
those away who otherwise would join
US. Bring this matter up in our next
meeting, Mr.. President.

Within The TOWN

The flu situation in the Cannon
Mill and Lockmore Mill villages ap-
pears to be improving, there being but
few cases of the malady in either VIII
lage at present.
- Sam NJ Williford, formerly a
member of the Rock Hill police force
is serving as night policeman for
Yorkville during the illness of Night
Officer Wishert. Mr.. Williford will
also serve as an extra officer during
the holidays, 1t is stated.
Friends of the Blalock family four
members of which including the father
and mother have recently died of in
fluenza and pneumonia, were engaged
yesterday in raising cash subscrip-
ton for the remaining members. The
family lives in the Lockmore Mill vii
lage.
- Merchants who sell fireworks here
at Christmas time, and there are a
number of them, say that sales during
the past few days have been as large
as had been expected. Many young
sters have been having big time Of
it popping off little ones and big ones.
The roar will not stop until after New
Years day.
- Ladies of the First Baptist church
of Yorkville gave a bazaar in the Brat
ton building at the corner Of South
Congress and East Jefferson streets
last Friday. Candies, fancy work and
dolls were sold. Despite the fact that
the weather was unusually bad sales
for the day totaled more than $40 and
the ladies were very well pleased with
the success of their efforts.
- The drunks on the streets Satur-
day afternoon and evening were quite
noticeable, both because of the number
and the stage OF drunkenness which
had been reached by some of the i'm
bibers of rotgut booze, medicinal
beverages, ginger, etc. Some OF the
drunks carried their sprees over TO
Sunday or else made new start, as
there was some evidence of hangover
drunks from Sunday.
"A. c. Ramsey, Southern railway
section boss, has made a decided i'm
provement in the crossing of the rail-
road on East Liberty street. Mr.
Ramsey's force on Saturday took out
a number of the old ties at the cross
ing, replacing them with new timber
and then put down heavy planking on
the inner and outer side of the rails
to the height of the steel, making the
crossing level instead of the spring
breaking crossing that it has been for
quite a while past.

The Laws Delay.

Viewed from the standpoint of COM
mon sense, Ira Harrison, one of the
murderers of ]. G. Annette, sentenced
to die next Friday is as guilty as he
will ever be and as a man could be;
but there is no end of the technical
bubbles by which he can be kept out
of the chair so long as his attorney
persists in raising such bubbles.
After all hope had apparently gone,
Harrison began to play o'possum by
sinking into a listless stupor from
which he refused to be aroused until
he had information of another delay
by reason of an attempt to get the
case into the Federal court. When
that effort failed his stupor suddenly
returned. He was in this stupor by
the way, when taken before the Rich
land general sessions for re-sentence,
and experts testified that in their
opinion he was taking.
But the appeal to the Federal court
having failed his attorney asked Judge
Mauldin for a commission to inquire
into his sanity, and when the judge
refused, he took the matterup to
Associate Justice Cothran. Justice
Cothran ruled that the matter was al
together within the discretion of the
circuit judge on the ground that
he was without jurisdiction to inter
ferc.
To the layman, it would appear that
this would settle the matter; but no..
The question as to whether Justice
Cothran's ruling was correct is appeal
able to the entire supreme court, and
the understanding is that this will be
done.
An appeal to the supreme court
stays execution. That Of course is
what the attorney is driving at. He
does not care two cents whether Judge
Mauldin made a mistake in refusing
to allow the appointment Of a sanity
commission, nor does he care two
cents Whether Justice Cothran was
correct in holding that the matter was
entirely within the discretion of Judge
Mauldin. All he cares for is to have
the clectrocution delayed beyond next
Friday, for that accomplished, his man
cannot be put to death until after the
convcninE of another term of the Rich
land court Of sessions.
The absurdty Of all this quibbling
is too obvious for controversy; but the
question is, will it ever he stopped and
how?

eAFFNEY AND THoRNWELL.

The game between Gaffncy and the
Thornwcll OrphanaGe teams at Chester
last Friday afternoon, failed to settle
the upstate football championship. It
resulted in a scorclcss tie-rothinS and
nothing.
The field was muddy and disagreca-
BILE and the game was necessarily play
ed under serious difficulties. Consider
ing the difficulties the excellence OF the
game was unusual; but at the same
time while there was some good foot
ball, there were also features mat
would not come up to that estimate.
Gaffney's players were considerably
heavier than the Thornwcll boys, aver
aging 1863 pounds against 145 pounds.
There were numerous fumbles on
both sides because Of the wet ball: but
nevertheless there was some good work

defendants, who have been pointed out
by witnesses as having been seen car
rying guns during the rioting are Otis
Clark, Bert Grace, Joseph Caranghi
and Levi Mann. The name Of Peter
Miller, the fifth defendant, has not yet
appeared in any of the testimony
Donald NJ. Ewing, a Chicago newspa-
perman, who wrote the first account of
the killings for the Associated Press
picked out Grace from among the de-
PENDANTS as a man who had threatened
him with a gun when he attempted to
bring a drink of water to two injured
men who were lying on a sun-baked
road surrounded by a crowd of armed
men Just outside of HerTin. The wit
ness said there were six dead or
wounded men lying on the road, all of
them bound together by a single rope
tied about their necks. "Gracc put his
foot on one of the wounded men and
pushed" the witness declared, and
quoted the defendant as saying with a
curse: You'll get no water here"
Three other Witnesses testified as to
various incidents in connection with
the tragedy. At the close of the after
noon session, Judge Hartwcll an
nounced an adjournment of court over
Saturday and Sunday.

There is an exceedingly tense stu
alton around Marion, Illinois, i'm con-
nection with the trial of the Union
miners accused Of participation in the
Hcrrin massacre. While the Union
miners were the only active partici-
pants in the affair, the people around
farmers and business men-wcre cog
infant of all the facts before, during
and after the wholesale killings and
they are being used as witnesses. 1t
is understood that the miners on trial
and others in sympathy have put out
the word that they will assassinate any
witness who shall give damaging testi-
mony against them, and it is stated
that the farmers and others have form
cd a secret organization through which
they have put out word that for every
witness who is harmed they will get
ten miners. Most of the witnesses
who have been on the stand so far
have been testifying with extreme re-
luctancc and some have shown terror.
One man claimed Saturday that he did
not care so much for HIMSELF but he
was concerned as to what would be-
come Of his family in case anything
should happen to him.

- The drafting Of the treaty Of
Lausanne now is in progress. The eX-
pcrts are working however, on clauses
that involve no disputed points and,
although the sub-COmmissions are
making rapid progress it seems i'm
possible that any complete document
can ever be made by Christmas. Ru-
mors now are in circulation that jan
uary "A has been fixed as the tenta-
tive date for signing the pact. Any
vacation over Christmas
seemed unlikely, largely because OF
Turkeys determination that there
shall be no lull in the conference until
definite terms of peace are agreed
upon at least in principle or until it is
clear that there can he no agreement.
The Turks have insisted so vigorously
upon continuing work throughout the
holidays that the other
delegations virtually have abandoned
plans for an extended recess. lsmet
Pasha has been instructed by his gov
crnmcnt not to permit any break in
the conference until some definite de-
cision is reached. Turkey has 250,000
men under arms and practically in the
trenches. She does not propose TO
keep them in suspense unnecessarily
in order to allow European diplomats
to spend Christmas and New Year
with their families. "Our soldiers are
needed at homo and on the farms and
which must be reconstructed
and restored" said Ismct. 1--WE want
10 know as soon as possible whether
we can release them for the recon-
Turkey so badly needs"

Why the Quarantine.

AS usual, the notice of the local
board of health ordering cloccd speci-
fed places in which people congregate,
like the churches, sunday schools,
picture shows, etc, has provoked dis
cussion.
Some of the discussion is serious,
some humorous and some indignant
In the first place, the absurdity of an
effective quarantine in any community
whether large or small is so obvious,
that it makes people laugh.
Why forbid the congregation Of
normal healthy people in the church
for an hour, and leave the cotton mill
force composed of people in all kinds
of physical condition to grind along
day and night?
Why undertake to stop the operation
of the picture show while the stores
are filled with all kinds of people from
all over the country?
And since nobody claims to know by
what means influenza is communicated,
whether by contagion, infection or
caused within or without, why under
take to impose any restrictions on any
body along this line, anyway?
People ask whether the underlying
purpose Of such a ridiculous travesty
on quarantine is to conserve health or
to establish arbitrary authority, and
unable to find a satisfactory answer to
the question, they just laugh.

In this last issue of The Yorkville

to again request our clubmakers who
have not already done so, to get busy
and make a thorough canvass of all of

non- subscribers to The Yorkville En-
quirer in York county who ought to
be subscribers.

spread the whole county last Sunday

Of something, it was difficult to say
exactly what. One had feeling that
there should be a thunder and light
ming accompaniment; but the tempera-
ture was hardly low enough for that.
The phenomena was not fully des-
cribable: but rFas impressive, and
people seemed to instinctively feel that
something was going to happen
something more than a downpour of
rain and subsequent heavy fog.
Saw an interesting old letter the 9TH
er day from the father of DR.. w. w.
FenneH, written from Cincinnati back
in 1910, when the elder F'ennell was
studying medicine there. The older peo-
pie of Chester county, especially in the
Richburg community, remember DIR.
Fennell. Locally he had as great
reputation in his own county as a
country doctor as his son has through
out the state as surgeon. Solicitor
Henry says of the old doctor that he
was the only man he ever knew to ac-
quire a thorough self-taught knowledge
OF the Greek language. In this letter
the doctor told how he did it. 1t was
necessary in those days, more so than
now to have a knowledge of Greek in
order to understand the technique Of
medicine as then taught, and along
with his medical lectures he took pri-
vate lessons in Greek. He kept this up
until he was able to go it alone. But
the most striking part Of this old let
ter was that in which the doctor cN-
pressed his impatience to get back
home, not to begin the building up of
an estate; but in order thai he might
be of service to his people.

At a conference Of government rep
rCsentativcs end producers and distri-
butors of calcium arsenatc held in the
Hotel Astor in New York, last We'd
nesday, it developed that the price of
calcium arsenate which sold at 6 cents
pound last January will sell at IS
cents d pound next month. Calcium
arsenatc is a by-product of the treat
ment OF certain ores mainly. The re-
quirements of the cotton producers
amount to 1900 tons and it is claimed
that there will he only 1000 tons avail
able for next years operations. A
part of the rise in the price of cal
cium arsenate is claimed to be due to
speculative buying and selling by GER
tain Japanese gamblers, who have not
been making deliveries.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1s, 1922,
A merry Christmas and a prosper
Gus New Year to everybody.

If it was necessary for the United
States to interfere as between France
and England on the one hand and Ger
many on the other, would it not become
all the more necessary for it to inter-
fere as between France and England.
France and England are about all that
are left of Europe just now, and con-
fiict between them would result in
worse chaos, even than would have
resulted in the conquest of France and
England by Germany.
