would. have proceeded further until
they provoked another European war.
Also, it was plain that If the Turks had
been asked to retire again from the
straits they would have replied that
they would guarantee the freedom of
those waters, and that would have
meant that their freedom would be
guaranteed until such time as there
arose another situation similar to that
of 1914. The premier made fun of
Lord Gladstone as the mediocre son
of a mighty father, and compared him
to q dwarf who had inherited the
clothes of giant, representing him as
a living example of the Liberal doc
'trine that ability is not hereditary.
With regard to stepping down and out,
Lloyd George said that no one would
welcome change more than he; that
he had always served thes people and
it was for them to say. But on one
subject on which there is very general
interest and curiosity he did not give
any satisfaction. That is, he was
silent on the question as to whether he
would bring on a general election, or
leave matters to take their natural
course.

Candler-de Bouchel Scandal.

There is nothing unusual and moth
ing strange in the case of old man Asa
Gambler and Mrs. de Bouchel, and
neither is there anything especially
creditable to anybody. 1t is merely an
old, old story in the same old setting,
based on the same old appeal that will
always be new.
Greed? Yes, greed a-plenty. Vani-
ty? Lot of vanity. Envy? A good
deal of that. Duplicity? 1t appears in
full measure, along with treason,
stratagem and spoils. Love? Bah!
Great social occasion, the Confeder-
ate reunion in Atlanta. Wealth,
beauty, gallantry-all the most glori-
Gus traditions of the Old South con-
centrated and magnifed. The grand
sons and granddaughters of brigaders
princes and princesses by right
and the new rich, and sons and daugh-
tcrs of new rich seeking to pose as
princes and princesses by assumption.
Mrs. de Bouchel, young, cultivated,
reigning belle Of New Orleans, social
centre of the world, regularly chosen
as the leader of this most brilliant gal
laXy Of chaperones, why should she
not be recognized as queen? She was
queen-in truth Vashti.
And old man Gambler a widOwer
with children, rolling in wealth. Mon
ey enough to buy anything, taste for
things beyond the reach of others,
prizing them mostly because they were
rare. Had he not already figured in
many salacious cases-a thoroughgo-
ing roue glorying in ability to override
all decency without danger of conse-
quences beyond the control Of his
money. If interested at all how could
it be anything else than the most
shining mark?
But let us not create the Impression
of innocence in danger. No, let's be
fair. This famous beauty is also eXpe-
rienced in the ways of the world. Had
she not already had her choice from
lle young DloOuS oL wealth. anu poSl-
ton, and was she not free to choose
again where she would? She does not
even yet pretend that she ever loved
that old hog; but still there was in
the situation Il lure that was obvious.
Who could imagine the possibilities of
the ambitions that might be gratified
with the Gambler millions during the
life? No, Mrs. de Bouchel did not run.
A woman with such experience and
training in the ways of the world was
not expected to run.
SO far as that is concerned, VIA

poultry on the farm. In less than
four months she had sold $464.i5 worth
Of flowers and produce at the Square

Sellers says that her vegetable gar

teenth of an acre and that from this
garden she has sold $3.50 worth of
vegetables in four months. She says
that her garden is producing about
sixteen times as much in dollars and

There is no good way of getting at
the actual cost of this years cotton
crop in York county as compared with
the cost of the crop Of previous years.
Indeed there is no good way of getting
at the actual cost of crop in any
year. The trouble lies in getting at
the necessary data. But it is the COM
mon opinion that the producers are
making more clear money out of this
years crop than they have made for
quite while, and the principal reason
why this is so is that they have kept
down expenses to greater extent than
usual There was widespread appre-
citation of the fact last spring that the
raising of a cotton crop was to be
more hazardous than it had been.
The merchants felt that way, the
bankers felt that way and the land
owners felt that way. On that ac-
count, everybody was more careful
about taking the risks that have been
involved heretofore, and there was
greater conservation all along the line.
There was a generally changed method
of putting out supplies, and such sup
plies as were put out were made to go
further. People depended to a larger
extent on their gardens and truck
patches for food, and generally they
were more thrifty and economical
They worked harder, too. And now
that harvest time is well on, croppers
have more clear money to use c.. abuse.
Taken altogether the country seems to
be adapting itself to the changing con-
ditions in very satisfactory manner,
and the outlook for next year appears
muck brighter than was the outlook
for last year.

CAR FELL OVER BRIDGE

When something went wrong with
the steering apparatus of an automo-
bile driven by Rev. ]. H. d. Bailey,
colored Methodist minister when 1t
was on the Overhead" bridge one mile
south Of Yorkville early Saturday
morning, the car plunged through the
guard railing of the bridge and onto
the tracks of the Southern railway
thirty feet below. Newton Anderson,
who was in the car with Bailey suf-
fered a broken leg and internal in
juries and Walter Burris the third
occupant of the car suffered several
broken ribs and injury to his back.
Rev. Bailey escaped with slight
bruises. Anderson will probably die.
The Ford touring car was badly
smashed on account of the fall, but the
engine was unharmed and cranked
quite easily following the accident
Lonnie Brandon, farmer of York No.
was the first to reach the injured
negroes and notified surgeons who at
tended them. The accident happened
just short time before the west
bound passenger train was due to ar
rive. The station agent was notified
and he in turn notified the train crew
thus avoiding a possible second acci-
dent of the morning.
It appears that Rev. Bailey who Is
presiding elder of the colored Metho-
dist district for this section was COM
ing to Yorkville from the direction of
Sharon when he picked the other two
men up. They were travelling at a
pretty fast clip when something went
wrong as they got on the bridge and
the car crashed through the rail and
into the deep fill below. 1t is con-
sidered miraculous that all three were
not instantly killed. Bailey who was
driving received the lightest injury.
He was quoted Saturday as having
asked "the Lord to take care Of me
before started out and He did,
1t was stated yesterday that there is
little chance for the recovery of New
ton Anderson who is of advanced age.
Both bones in the left leg were broken.
and he was injured internally. 1t was
feared yesterday that he had develop
ed pneumonia.
News of the wreck quickly spread
in Yorkville and scores of people went
down to the bridge TO see what
damage had been done.

Mnstanha Kemal Pasha, c

- Mustapha Kemal Pasha, COM
mander- -in-chief Of the Turkish ma
tionaliSt forces, made a triumphant
entry into Brusa, the ancient capital
of Turkey, last Saturday. Theientire
city was dazzling mass of color, with
flags and flowers mingled to present a
gorgeous array. Arches of flowers
were constructed over the triumphal
route along which the Turkish con-
queror passed. The victor over the
Greeks rode on horseback and was re-
ceived by the multitude with vocifer-
Gus acclamations. Delegations of
civilians and groups Of Hodjas and
Mohammedan priests extended to him
formal felicitations. The priests rep
resented the important clerical party.
1t was announced that the Angora as
sembly had voted Kemal the title OF
"Yildirim Gazi," which may be. trans
lated as "the lightnfng-like conqueror,"
the title is revival of the ancient one
formerly conferred Upon victorious
sultans. The nationalist leader will
hereafter be addressed as Yildirim
Gazi, Mustapha Kemal Pasha. Await
ing the hero was Isniet Pasha, who
was tho Turkish representative at
Mudania. Kemal Pasha embraced
and kissed him and then handed him
parchment, copy Of resolutions pass
ed by the Angora assembly thanking
him for his effective representation of
the national interests at Mudania. At
the request of the Turkish commander,
Ismet Pasha will spend two weeks in
specting the various army units and
explaining the Mudania peace ar
ragements to the officers and men.

DOLLAR DAY

Read the advertisements of those
dollar day merchants and store them
in your mind not only with reference
to the articles especially mentioned;
but more particularly with regard to
the idea that these folks who announce
these inducements are bidding for your
favor by giving their favor.
Yes, that is the idea, bidding Tor
your favor by giving their favor. 1t
is a business proposition, it is true;
but 1t is not what you would call a
"cold blooded business proposition"
There is more to it than merely the
desire to get rid of goods in exchange
for dollars There is in the idea n
desire for the establishment of a
closer relationship on a basis Of mu-
tual advantage of merchant and custo-
mer.
Previous dollar days have been at
tended with results that have left
many permanent impressions and that
the one now about to be observed will
be equally successful is to be taken
as q matter of course. '..,

The issue between the medicos and
the chiropractors has again bobbcd up
in the case Of DR.. r. Lyman Love,
chiropractor, convicted in Charleston
last week of practicing medicine with
out license and sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 and go to prison for ninety
days, with the understanding that the
Imprisonment would be suspended if
he would either desist from practice or
get a medical license. DR.. Love went
to Governor Harvey for ? pardon; but
the governor declined to intcrfcr on
the ground that what ever he might
think of the law, there was nothing
for him but to enforce it. The quarrel
between the mcdicos and the chiro-

that correction OF the spinal system

had been spoiled with the coca cola

every wish that money could crafty,
and had not some of these already fig
ured in scandals as notorious as those
of their pa? Sure. the old mans for
tune was sufficient to supply them
with all they could use and all they
could waste; but why take in another
outsider? Why divide with this beau
tiful schemer?
OF course the children would not
stand for it. They were well enough
trained. in the ways Of the hog to know
that ordinary objections would be of
no avail, and they. did not go at that
1t has not come out who told those
clumsy unbelievable stories about their
fathers prospective wife conducting
herself as common wanton; but that
was the: way to accomplish the end
desired. That was the way to keep
another woman from undermining
their influence with. the old man and
getting hold Of his money.
The next chapter of this low sordid
story will be written in the courts
How it will come out there we do not
know, except Mrs. de Bouchel will
probably get verdict for. slander. I'm
less old man Coco Cola can prove what
his alleged friends are said to have
said was true, she ought to have that.
But as to whether anybody connected
with the whole dog eat dog proceeding
has been really wronged we are not
especially clear. This, to be sure is
assuming, that the public believes as
we believe, that the hotel story about
the woman is only dirty lie.

The experience Of those parties in
Charleston and Columbia with income
taxes is not calculated to encourage
others to take any chances on trying
to get out jof paying all they are due
to pay. To be sure it would not be
fair to accuse these people of deliber-
ately trying to dodge their just la

doubt room for honest difference of
opinion as to what they really owed;
but however that may be the result
in the end is all the same. They

Russia has 100000 men UNI

Russia has 100000 men under
arms, mainly concentrated along the
western frontier from the Baltic to the
Black sea, while the Baltic states have
only 100000 and Poland 100000, ac-
cording to figures compiled in Warsaw.
These figures, 1t is stated, have been
brought out in connection with the
present conference of representatives
of Baltic states and Poland in Reval in
preparation for taking part in the
Moscow disarmament congress pro-
posed by foreign minister Tchitcherin.
The newspaper Kurjer Porany declares
that Russia has agreements with the
Krupps under which arms and NUM-
tions are being produced on con-
siderable scale in their Russian works,
it being reported that the factory at
Tula is turning out 10000 rifles and
80, 100000 cartridges monthly, while
establishment at Putilove is producing
several hundred pieces of heavy Jartil-
lery yearly. This newspaper also as
serts the Soviet warsoffice is drafting
selected contingents Of men between
20 and 40 years of age and devoting 81
per cent, of the national revenue to
army uses. There are also persistent
reports in Warsaw, it adds, that Russia
will turn over to German arms manu-
facturers all this years surplus of the
Ukrainian harvest in payment for mill
tary supplies largely produced in
Russia from materials IMPORTED from
Germany.
