hand. There has been quite lot of
fighting and at least several hundred
people have been killed. AS to
whether the trouble has grown out of
ordinary labor grievances or there is
deliberate intent toward reorganiZa-
tion is not clear. Those on this SIDE
who are best informed have dismissed
the possibility that the Beers have a
great deal to do with the disturbance,
or that they have any hope or desire
TO restore their old government. 1t is
known that the mining, element in
the Rand gold fields is made up of the
most desperate daredevilism to be
found anywhere. There is little or nc
family life among them and practical
ly nothing that tends to the preserva-
ton of life and property, except SUI
perior force. 1t has been suggested
that Soviet propaganda may have en-
tered into the situation, and most
people are inclined to account for the
trouble on. that theory. Nobody, how
ever, seems to think that there is any
serious danger of the success of those
who have promoted the disturbance
the mere especially if their object be
revolution.

There is a certain ironic humor in
the John Doe" investigation in con-
nection with the bucket shop charges
against the American Cotton ex-
change" of New York. Chief City
Magistrate McAdoo is presiding in the
capacity of grand jury. and the hear
ing is, of course ex parte. That is
only one side is being heard. A num-
Der of witnesses have testified that the
exchange" is merely gigantic
swindle. That orders to buy and sell
were not executed except occasional
ly; that the operator" receiving the
order merely put down price and
amount and decided himself on the
difference at which he will close out
and whether at Il profit or loss to the
customer" But the humor of the
situation ARISES in connection. with the
apparently serious inquiry as to
whether individual southern farmers
were benefited by the exchange in the
sale of their crops. The fact Of the
matter is that nobody connected with
the whole scheme whether broker or
patron cared anything about real cot
ton. Then another puzzle in connec-
tion with it all is how or where there
is any difference between the Ameri-
can Cotton Exchange and the New
York Cotton Exchange.

Attention is called to the appoint

column for speeches on the dairy ques-
tion. Boil weevil or no boil weevil
this county can never hope to attain
the full measure Of prosperity to
which it is entitled until the people
give more general and more intelligent
attention to the dairy industry.
All correspondence having to dc
with The Yorkville Enquirer whether
with the advertising, news, subscrip-

addressed either to Yorkville Enquirer

order that the same may receive
proper attention. Communications
intended for the paper; but addressed
to individuals, go into the private post

may or may not receive the immediate
attention that is desirable.

Law as to Voting.-The probability
is that there will soon be legal at
tack on the tax extension resolution
recently passed by the general
assembly The probability is that the
attack will come in connection with
the provision which seeks to preserve
to those who failed to pay their taxes
before January l last the right to
vote.
Under the terms of the resolution
extending the time for the paying of
1921 taxes until June /, 1922 and un-
til September l, 1922 before execu-
tions are placed in the hands of the
sheriffs. clause was put in the reso-
luton in which it was declared that
payment OF taxes within the extended
time should be construed to be within
the time prescribed by the constitution
and the law.
This clause is in direct conflict with
the latest supreme court opinion in
reference to paying taxes to he
eligible for voting. The court has
several times said that to vote in a
general election all persons must have
paid all taxes owed prior to the time
the books were legally closed.
Under the opinion n large number
of persons in the state will not be
able to vote in the general election
this year, but under the extension
resolution all would he allowed 10 vote
If they paid their taxes within the
extended time. The question will likely
be settled by the courts, according to
Indications now.
