money Talks" in Court.-The case

"Money Talks" in Court-The cases
of E. N. Mittle of Orangeburg and a
Capt Buckalew of Greenville, are two,
of many instances Of results, when
money talks" A circuit judge tried
to send Mittle's case to the>U. S. Su-
preme court and turned him loose, but
Gov. Harvey interfered and had him
transferred to the pen. Then the big
lawyers got busy and secured a writ
Of error from Judge Watts of the state
supreme court. Trains were too slow,
so a big automobile hustled off to Or
angeburg to get the clerk of courts
capt. Buckalew" conducted his own
case till convicted Of forging govern
ment compensation checks. He then
FASTENED to secure three lawyers to
assist him for q new trial, and got it.
In the meantime, the moneyless ID
is picking rock in the pen. Truly
justice in our courts is one-eyed, one
armed, and one-leggcd. Judge Rice
says our jurics will not convict. II
may be added with equal truth, that
our judges slap them in the face when
they do-provided always the money
and influence are in the game. Our
judges are clean, and mean well, but
there is too little backbone and spinal
ity under heavy artillcry.-Calhour

and while it was realized that they
would have no chance against Chester
it was hoped that they would come
down and furnish some football for the
local Hi and also for the Chester fans.
They were told that if they would
come that most of the playing would
be done by Chester's substitutes, but
this was apparently no inducement

Bankers.
In looking through the country
town for men of prestige and renown,
who build and advertise a place, we
find the banker sets the pace. There
are some slant-eyed money kings who
keep small towns from doing things,
but they are scarce-death seals their
doom and then their towns enjoy a
boom. When you've chance to make
a haul by buying pickles in the fall
and peddling pickles in the spring
and, thus become a pickle king, you
do not seek your maiden aunt and
spring your coin extracting chant,
you don't salaam and meekly rend
your robes before some wealthy
friend; they'd help you but-they've
spent their jack for camisoles and
bric-abrac. The only chance to make
that deal is at the bank; they hear
your spiel and pave the way with
gold in stacks, for you to pay an in
come tax. When some subscription
project lags, committees call on
money bags" they smoke his twenty
cent cigars, attend conventions in his
cars and corkscrew ducats from the
vault to cure the lame, the blind, the
halt. In time, however, you will learn
that even banking worms will turn,
and there's no penance that compares
with boarding bankers in their lairs.
You seek their den with faltering
step without your usual nerve and
pep and meekly >stammer that you've
got some money coming-but you're
not-at present-fixed to meet that
note, you'd like the words won't
pass your throat. The banker lays
his pen aside and says: well, Bill,
we'll let it ride" Outside the bank
your family jars. Oh, when I leave
kids some pants and several books
about the yaks and get your wife a
brand new axe. The chap in there
behind the bars helps head off half
your family jars. Oh, when l leave
this earthly sphere I hope some
banker will be near to supplement
my stingy roll in case I can't pay
Charons toll.

WORKS OLD GAME
"Tin Can Tourist" Gets Money From
Aiken Store.

Aiken Store.
An old game of trickery newly play
ed was practiced on the grocery firm
of the Misses Burckhalter Of Aiken,
Monday by passing "tin can tourist"
The man entered the Burckhslter store
and stated that he was the foreman Of
a telephone work crew and desired an
amount of supplies for the week. He
left quite a large order to be filled and
stated he would return with his man
and pay for the goods. In about an
hour the stranger returned with a
check for $43 endorsed by n. n. How
ard, Aiken county sheriff, presumably,
and asked for the difference Of the
amount of the grocery order and the
check in cash. Miss Bernice Burck-
halter stated she did not have but a
few dollars on hand as she had just
Leposited ali cash in the bank, but she
did give the stranger about $40 in cash
and a due bill for the balance. The
check was drawn on the Citizen Bank
of Aiken and was found to be worth
less and the name of Sheriff Howard
forged. No one has yet called for the
goods and the foreman" has passed
on to new fields of labor.

FIRST "MODERN" HIGHWAY
Distinction Belongs TO the People Ct CT
Holland.
VITRIFIED BRICK is BEST MATERIAL

Oldest and Most Expensive Highway in
the World is the Appian Way Which
Has Stood For Two Thousand Years
America Does Not Lead; But is
Making Progress.
New light has just been shed in tie
discussion concerning the origin and
development of improved highways in
the world No less a parsonage than
Edward W. Box contributes the newest
bit of information, according to a
Boston letter.
Edward Box is one of the best known
publicists in the United States. For
thirty years he was editor Of the
Ladies Home Journal. More than a
million readers felt they were almost
personally acquainted with him while
he was editorially active. Thousands
more have come to know him through
reading his famous autobiography,
1.-The Americanization Of Edward Box"
He was born in Holland.
1t is generally known that Appius
Claudius, the Roman censor, built the
first really durable highway in 311 B.
C. This highway, named the Appian
Way, runs from Rome to Capua. IL
still exists and carries traffic. Al
though it involves many features ap-
plicable to present day construction,
the cost of building such a highway
today would be prohibitive.
The Appian way was built princi-
pally by slaves and was designed for a
military highway. The labor cost was
practically nil. 1t was constructed OF
stone and mortar, frequently to depth
of four feet, and was surfaced with
stone slabs or gravel
The question, however, as to the
origin of the modern type of highway
surface has always been in dispute.
Under modern types" are included
vit:ified brick, asphalt and concrete.
Herein lies the interest in the follow
ing quotation taken from an article
written by Edward Box and published
in the October issue of the Atlantic
Monthly. Under the title well, I
Didn't Know That" Mr.. Box writes:
Il was watching a brick road being
built in Pennsylvania, when the con-
tractor said to me: Best kind Of a
road, this. We have brick roads in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Missouri, that
are from twenty-nine to thirty-two
years old, with the roads still in ex-
cellent condition. We Americans beat
the world in road-building.'
"I thought the Romans laid a road
or two abroad which have stood up
pretty WELL ventured.
"'Yes but not Of brick. No country
has ever tried brick roads. We lead
the world returned the contractor;
and then he added, Do you doubt
that%
NO I answered, don't doubt it;
1 know America never led the world in
brick ad-building.' lf
"Where have they ever tried it and
got away with it as we have!, he
asked, with a delicious contempt in his
voice.
"Well,' replied, England, for one
country, has few brick roads that
have done their bit, There are brick
roads in the Netherlands. where they
are over one hundred years old, laid In
Napoleon's time, and just as good as
when they were laid, if not better
"'Of brick?' he asked.
"'Of brick: vitrified brick; in fact,
the vitrification Of brick was brought
to practical perfection by the Dutch
| replied.
And then came the inevitable, Well,
| didn't know that'"

HARVEY is SCORED.
Bible Scholar Says Ambassador Does
Not Know What He Talks About.


"If woman is inferior to man just
because she was made of the rib Of a
mSn, it would follow that man is in
ferior to clay because he was made of
clay.
ut was the immortal soul infused
into both that made them essentially
equal"
Thus reasoned the Rev. Gabrial Gus
sani, professor of ecclesiastical history
at st. Joseph's seminary, New York,
and noted scholar, in denying Ambas-
sador Harvey's statement that the BIZ
bic teaches women have no souls.
The learned del Ter of woman's
right to a soul see ned to be of the
opinion that Mr.. Harvey had ventured
rather boldly into an alien field.
He said:
"Mr. Harvey may know great deal
about women-he has written Il book
about them-but his knowledge of the
teachings of the Bible about women is
elementary and crude, to say the least.
in the field of Biblical eXegesis, Mr..
Harvey is undoubtedly outside the
three-mile limit and therefore very
much at sea-:
Mr.. Oussani, after setting forth that
the ambassador has erred in assum-
ing that because the Bible speaks of
woman as being formed from the rib
Of man, it teaches not inferiority or
that she has no soul, entered upon a
historical discussion of the subject:
Whether we accept the Elovistic or
the Jehovistic narrative of the crea-
tiCn of the first woman" said the pro-
fessor, "the fact remains that in the
mind of the writer of the Book of Cen
esis woman was equal to man, created
by God to be his helpmeet, companion
and co-worker.
This is so truly Biblical that in not
single passage of the Old or New
Testament is there any direct or in
direct allusion to women's not having
souls or to the essential inferiority of
woman's soul.
The creation OF woman from mans
ribs, in the mind of the writer, i'm
piled not the absence Of soul lin the
woman nor her inferiority, but the in
terdependence of man and woman
their close relation.
MANY theologians Of course, regard
the story as allegorical merely. In
either case, no spiritual inferiority in
woman is implied.
"The inferiOrity of woman referred
only TO her social and political status,
to the role she occupied in relation to
man in commerce, politics, etc, not to
her spiritual life.
Furthermore, Mr.. Harvey is wrong
is assuming that the Decalogue was
promulgated only for man. Just be-
cause woman is not specially men,
toned it does not follow that women
are not expected to observe the laws
laid down.
in the thought of Moses the Deca-
logue was to be applied to men and
women alike.
IF man was not to be permitted 90
steal, neither was woman, and if a
man could not covct his neighbor's
wife, neither could woman covet her
neighbor's husband.
In fact, in those days greater in
dulgence was granted to men than
women. In the usual phraseology OF
law making the word man covered both
sexes, meaning, in fact, persons"

GOT NO KISSES

ming at her home, bringing gifts Of

(By a Staff Correspondent.)

Glover, October 31.-A fertilizer
factory is tho latest industry proposed
for Clover according to reports in cir
culation here. j. F. Pursley, one OF
the most prominent business men OF
this section is promoting the enter
prise and number Of other prominent
business men are to be associated with
him in the matter, according to re-
ports. Lumber for use in building this
fertilizer mill or mixing plant has
been purchased, it is stated, and Clo-
yer farmers will likely have the privi-
lege of buying fertilizers made in Clo-
yer next spring. For some time past
there has been a feeling prevalent here
that a fertilizer factory was needed
and that it would prove paying prop
osition. At the present time there IS
only one fertilizer factory in York
county, that being located in Rock
Hill and thousands upon thousands OF
dollars go out of this territory every
wear for fertilizer made in other Sec
tions. The fertilizer mill, according to
information given this correspondent,
will occupy a site near the Glover Cot
ton Oil Mill, of which Mr.. Pursley is
general manager. II is reported that
G. w. Suggs, a native Of this section
and now connected with fertilizer
concern in Georgia will be associated
with the Clover fertilizer concern.
Church Building Progressing.
The congregation having recently
raised in the neighborhood of $4,000
TO complete the building, con-
struction work on the First Presby-
terian church Of Glover having as its
object the finishing Of the building
has been resumed. At the present
time the basement of the building is
being used for preaching services and
other church activities.
Glover Lady Breaks Hip.
Mrs. jamie Parrott Jackson, wife of
Thos. F. Jackson, broke her right hip
last Friday evening when she was at
tempting to walk down the back steps
of her residence. 1t seems that the
heel of Mrs. Jackson's shoe caught in
the step, throwing her violently to the
ground and breaking her hip. She
was carried to a hospital in Gastona
soon after the accident where it is re-
ported that she is getting along as well
as could be expected, although rela-
tives fear that she will be crippled
for the remainder of her life.
Saw Trinity Davidson Game.
w. P. Smith of Glover, was among
those who saw Trinity College OF Dur
ham, n. c., defeat Davidson College
at football at Greensboro, n. C., last
Saturday. OF course Mr.. Smith was
delighted at the victory of the Durham
bows. His son. Herbert Smith is mana
ger of the Trinity football team this
year.

Halloween Carnival.


A Halloween Carnival presented in
the Glover High School building Fri
day evening under the direction OF
teachers in the school proved a decid-
ed success financially and furnishea
much amusement for a large number
of patrons of the Glover school who
were in attendance. The carnival was
staged for the benefit of the clover
School Improvement Association and
the gross receipts were in the neigh
borhood of $105. Those participating
in the carnival were principally pupils
Of the high school and much of the
credit for the excellent coaching OF
the performers is due Miss Marion
Smith. One OF the most amusing
features of the carnival or rather
freaks on exhibition was Della, the
Fat Girl" Della" being Dee Ford,
high school lad who weighs in the
neighborhood Of 900. "T. P.' Clinton
who appeared in the entertainment as
BARKER" for Della, put up such a
persuasive argument that practically
everybody on the carnival grounds was
induced to take look at the lady.
Red Has EN- Guessing.
Fully 500 fox hunters from all sec
tions of York and CASTOR county have
been in the vicinity Of Henry's Knob
during the past ten days seeking to
catch a big red fox that is loose in
that community. according to sam
r'arris who lives near the "Knob." Ac-
cordng to Mr.. Farris who has lived
in that vicinity all of his life and who
has been on many a fox hunt around
the mountain, the big red that has the
hunters guessing is fox worth catch
ing. Farris has seen the reds tracks
in his garden and elsewhere and for Il
time he thought it was the track of a
dog instead of a fox; but after close
examination there is 10 question but
what it is a fox Some of the hunters,
according to Mr.. Farris, managed to
lump this fox and others can't get a
chase. Some of the best dogs in the
| two counties have been after it durin@
the past several days; but the fox
laughs" at 'cm. Most of the hunters
who come in the night time and in the
day time gather at the Farris home
preparatory to the hunt and all agreed
that the big red now worrying them is
the most crafty fox that has ever
hung out in the vicinity of Henry's
