Jury with evidence to prove Miss
.Rappe was not at the springs at the
time stated by Mrs. Neighbors. Il
doubt if Miss Rappe ever was at this
hot springs" said Brady. Mrs. Bates
testified at the second trial of Ar
buckle. She said she worked with
Miss Rappe in a Chicago department
store in 1913 where the film actress
had been employed as a model. Brady
said she furnished the grand jury with
records from the Chicago store to
show that Mrs. Bates worked at the
establishment in 1909 was discharged
in 1910 and had been reemployed by
the store. Brady, in statement Civ
ing his reasons for asking the indict-
ments said he intended to prosecute
"all persons who committed perjury"
II consider this far more important
than prosecuting persons charged with
other felony" Brady said.

Anent the threat of Lloyd George

Anent the threat Of Lloyd George to
resign as premier, there is revival
Of the old, old assertion that there
meyer was man so important that
somebody else would not take his
place. The assertion is too obviously
true to warrant even suggestion Of
denial; but nevertheless, it is a fact
that some people do things much
better than other people, and while the
British government will continue after
the dropping out of Lloyd George, it
will not be exactly like it was before.

AS to that bill charging the railroad

AS to that bill enlarging the railroad
commission to seven members and
combining with it the utilities COM
mission, we have this to say. The
railroad commission heretofore has
been a very poor institution, and the
utilities commission has never amount
ed to much. The trouble with these
commissions is this: They generally
listen to the fellow who presses his
suit the hardest. 1t is rare now-a-
days to find public men who are as
much concerned about the people as
they are about the main chance. A
public utility Of any kind has more to
gain by bleeding the people than any
individual or organization for that
matter, has in fighting for the people.
The utility therefore fights the hard
est and wins out. The idea of having
commission to look after these mat
ters looks good; but the trouble is in
getting the kind of individuals who
will do the fair thing.

A horrid New York municipal court

A horrid New York municipal court
judge has just held that it is not worth
$4,000 for woman to be able to wear
silk stockings. Mrs. 'Sady Klein Kohn
was injured on the calf of her leg by
the marlborough Rapid transit COM
pany not long ago and brought suit for
$500. In the meantime the wound
healed over and left a scar as the re-
suit of which the surgeon made affi-
davit that she would never be able to
wear silk stockings again. On this
development, Mrs. Klein Kohn asked
Justice Callahan for leave to transfer
the case to the supreme court, so she
could sue for $4,000. The justice re-
fused the request on the ground that
it was not worth $4,000 for woman
to be able to wear silk stockings; but
offered to allow her to amend her COM
plaint so as to sue for $1,000.

EQUALIZATION PROBLEMS

The argument here is that because
mercantile stocks, bank and mill stocks
and the like, are assessed for taxation
ut AZ pcG cent. Of their value, we
should reduce the assessment on Coun-
try property twenty per cent. Well
as a farmer, and the owner
of country pvopertv. ] have this to
say: know and you know that mer-
camille property, bank stocks and the
like are Gctabie on a 100 per cent. basis
and when this property is required TO

- The most striking result OF the
Billy" Sunday revival yet recorded
was the fact that Sunday at the morn
ing hour of worship when the Lords
Supper was cOmmcmoratcd in the Pro-
testant churches of Spartanburg, the
supply of wine was exhausted at a
number of the leading churches long be-
fore the entire wOrshipperS had partak-
on of it. Never before in the history Of
Spartanburg have so many people
taken the communion, and never be-
fore have so many of the respective
congregations remained throughout
the entire service. AS Il rule the aver
age church attendant after partaking
of the communion quietly leaves the
church. But the great majority of
each congregation remained to the end
Sunday Hereafter Ill churches will
carry IN adequate supply of wine for
this solumn and sacred service.

"Less farm work than I have ever
known before up to this time" is a
common report. Fact IS that there
has been very little weather that has
been suitable for farm work, and
there have been many other seasons
just as bad. March anu April 1901
were too wet for farm work Of any
kind.
In private note to the editor Of The
Yorkville Enquirer Congressman w.
f. Stevenson said: II am agreeably
surprised at the large number Of
written applications 1 have been re-
ceiving from York and Chester county
people for copies of the Typographical
map fo the Sharon Quadrangle. The
production of this map has cost the
government many thousands Of dol
lars and there are times when it is
likely to prove Of great value to almost
any individual land owner. But the
common experience of congressman
generally is that there are usually only
small percentage Of people in their
respective districts who will take the
trouble to make application of such
documents, even though they are free.
1 am indeed proudiof the broad intelli-
gence that is: being evidenced by the
applications I am receiving from York
and Chester counties. After a few
years, perhaps. it will be no longer
practicable to get copies of this map
and then individuals who have need for
them will be willing to pay almost any
price,

The North Carolina supreme court
has decided that judges are exempt
from the state income tax because the
constitution guarantees that their SAL
aries shall. not be "iiminished,' during
their respective terms Of office. That
looks like joke to us. We do not see
how the proposition can possibly apply
unless the proposed taxation were
made to apply to judges alone. The
view of the court seems to assume that
the judges are entitled to special
privileges; but while the court may be
able to prevent ''diminution" of their
salaries by legislation that diminishes
the salaries of other people, we do not
see how they are going to make the
same rule work as to other things that
other, peoples salaries have to contend
with.

EXHIBIT TO RIO
De JANE|RO
\By Associated Press)


Philadelphia, July c~-How
the State Of Pennsylvania has
helped the victims of industrial
accidents to fit themselves to
earn a living despite the handi-
caps OF blindness, paralysis and
artificial limbs will be shown in
an exhibit Of lantern slides which
the state is preparing for the
international Centennial Exposi-
ton at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
in September.
The slides, made from photo
graphs Of persons in training
tor employment under direction
OF the State Bureau of Rehabili-
tation, are being arranged by
the Federal Board of Vocational
Education. They will form an
important part Of the govern
ment exhibit at the exposition
in celebration Of the Tooth ami
versary Of the independence Of
Brazil.
Most Of the slides depict stor-
les Of specific cases handled by
the rehabilitation bureau. For
instance, there is the case Of an
18-year-old boy who after losing
a leg il an industrial accident
was placed in employment train
ing with baking company and
is now regularly qualified and
>dlaried employe at skilled
task. Other slides show the
progress of two young women
who lost their right hands while
operating presses in industrial
es1 Adjustments and have been
trained for clerical work so that
today they have more congenial
and remunerative employment
than before they were hurt.
American exhibits at the ex-
position will be guarded by
detachment Of the Marine Corps,
100 strong. These men come
from a number Of camps, and
many are members Of the famous
Marine organization which
fought at Belleau Woods, in Ju-
ly. 1918. Others are Youngsters
in the service. The selection for
duty in Brazil comes as re-
ward for good conduct and gem
eral merit.

HOME RULE IS |ND|A'S
HOPE, SAYS MRS. .BESANT

F'remantle, Australia, Aug. l..
Home rule for India, with Do
minion status, is the objective of
the Indian people, according to
Mrs. Annie Besant, the we'll
known Theosophist leader, who
arrived here recently.
In the course of an interview
Mrs. Besant said everything
would be well in India, she
thought, if Britain only would
grant the country home rule.
The people, since Gandhi s
Imprisonment, were beginning to
appreciate that he was not the
divine being, able to work mir
acics, which they had believed
him to be. She anticipated that
agitation along constitutional
lines would replace revolution
ary tactics and would bring
peace to India within a reason
able time.

FIRST CAR LOAD Of HOGS
EvER SHIPPED FROM THIS
STATION LOADED TODAY

The first full car load Of hogs
ever shipped from the local rail
road station was loaded today,
and is composed Of hogs raised
by J. H. Alexander, Jr., all Du-
roc-Jerseys, twenty three in mum
her and composite lot raised by
Baker and Everett and G. p. Pen
dleton. The twenty three load
ed by Mr.. Alexander will weigh
on an average Of two hundred
pounds and are as pretty a lot
of hogs as are offered on any
market
The present shipment marks an
important turn in farming meth
DDS in this community, and it Is
freely predicted that at least fif-
tv car loads will be shipped from
this point within the next twelve
months.
The farmers Of this section
have evidently determined, from
reports Of the local agricultural
agent, to get away from any one
or two crop system and embark
upon the raising Of livestock
poultry and other things to re.
place a large part Of the cotton
acreage.
The slogan in this community
is. and will continue to be, to
diversity in its full meaning and
''beat the boll-weevil to it.
