Carl Talley, sought for three *days? .is believed now to have escaped. ? There have been some very serious developments in Upper'fSffiteffi during the past few days. TKe"Ts'5le~?, never having acquiesced in the proposed annexation of this territory to Germanythrough the recent plcbicite, have been waiting their opportunity. ? ?>ast week while,the country wasiVut''thlilly garrisoned by Allied troops, mainly French and Italians, the Poles commenced taking possession frith so-called irregular troops; but really regulars"in disguise, largely outnumbering the Allies. The friendly French were in duty bound to resist ;he Polish invasion, and fought 1?>/ ooainet nvprwhfilming Ildll-IR'dl ICWlJ i*ot*-4iw W ^ _ odds until forced, to retire. Quite a number of Italians were killed in the fighting during Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The Germans offered severalthousands troops, and were able to hold the Poles in check, notwithstanding the fact that their services were exceedingly distasteful^to the French. A few British troops .appeared on the scene.' All Poland is in a ferment and the country is in a state of war. The indications are that the Allies are going'to be forced to-either send in enough trodps to drive .the Poles out of Silesia or leave the job to the Germans, who seem to be real anxious to take care of the situation. ? A verdict of manslaughter with recommendation for mercy, was rc1 turned by a jury in the court of general sessions at Orangeburg, Tuesday against K. X. Mittle, for killing J. II. Patterson, of itowesville last November II. The case went to the just late Saturday. Judge I. W. Bowman expected to pass sentence on Millie' this morning, it was announced. Should the sentence exceed 10 years; the defendant's attorneys said they would appeal for a new trial. The j verdict of the jury in this state carries a sentence of from two to 30 years. On the first ballot Saturday, after hearing arguments for more than six hours, the jury stood 10^oiVfi*T$crdict of mnrnrrmjtfal. The jury wrangled nil niglit" and at S.iiO this morning entered tfi? ^Jburt room with a compromise verdict. Mittle killed J'atterson Inst November ns the latter left the home of Mrs. Star Jackson. In his statement to the jury the defendant claimed he??sh sfilf defense. Mittle is said to ltave gone through a marriage ceremqnj^t^th Mr?j Jackson, an employe of hls'lftftik, btrc'they had been separated when her parents learned he had .nol.,.iwcn dLvorcd from his second wifcl. Tallofsba'.s attentions to the woman arc said 1o have aroused Mittle's enmity, according to the state's evdewe. Former* Governor Cole Mease made the closing argument for the defense whilfc Mendel L.

May 7: Announcement of President Harding's^decision to have American representation on the supreme council, ?the (conference of ambassadors jf repartitions commission was followed fodav by intimations from licpublican leaders in the house that action of the Knox peace resolution might ho deferred until the larger economic/tnd oilier problems growing out of the war had been settled. Representative Mondell of Wyoming, the Republican leader, said that the resolution which was adopted by the senate a week ago. would not be considered next week as had boon expected in some quarters. J-le would a i -jf lj, Inbi.n nut say imv. ?wu n.'uuh?b *** up. House leaders generally, however, said the measure would remain with the foreign affairs committee for ft month, perhaps, or certainly iinlil the Europe.*tn situation had cleared. It was said that this "mot the approval of the senate foreign relations committee. Some members insisted President Harding preferred that :tio effort lie made to rush it through at ihis liinc. Ambassador Wallace and Roland W. Hoyden are expected to resume fneir places almost immediately as unofficial observers with the conference of ambassadors and the reparations commission, respectively. Their instructions wero prepared today at the state department. (teorge Harvey, Aineriean ainlm^Sitdor to (treat Britain will receive his instruelion:? from the president after his arrival at London next week, hut it probably will lie a month before he begins his duties as the executive representative on the supreme council, as the hotly meets usually once a month.

Wallace and Air. Hoyden, who will act as observers only, reporting to their government on the proceedings of the ambassadors and the reparations commission. 'Che supreme council at its next session is expected to take up the question of mandates raised by the Aineriean government in its recent notes to the four principal allied |nu\and administration of ficers believe the presence of an American representative at that meetin.it will serve to strengthen the position of the Uinted States and facilitate a final settlement of the question. There was only passing: reference in the senate today to the aceptancc of the invitation of the supreme council for American representation on the three allied bodies. During debate on the emergency tariff bill, Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, said that by .sending the invitation the allies were "merely rubbing it in" on the United States for "deserting them." He also charged that in acepting the invitation, the administration had "swtched' on its foreign policy. There was no reply from the Republcan side. ?hc llorferiUf (Bnquircr. Entered at the Postofflce at York as Mail Matter of the Second Class. TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1921. ~ Judge by the amount of money the people are spending the times do not seem so hard after all. In agreeing to league of nations dispositions that are favorable and in dissenting from dispositions that are unfavorable, the Poles are not different from other people. Senator Norris of Nebraska, wants * " '? x *I?A /lA*vinn/1 rtP tfoa omnn IU SU-llSL^ IIIC v.tCiiiauu, 'Ji. www WV? f .vw men for a bonus by giving them the interest on the debt owed by the Allies. It is calculated that the interest now due amounts to between $700,000,000 and $800,000,000. The idea is a good one; but the question is, how are we going to collect that interest? According to dispatches from Berlin, the present German cabinet is unwilling to sign acceptance of the ultimatum submitted by the Allied supreme council, and President Ebert is sorely perplexed as to where and how he is going to get a cabinet that will sign. It seems to be the common belief, however, that the ultimatum will be signed. ' Thos. A. Edison recently gave out a statement in which he characterized college-bred rqen as being "amazingly ignorant" of things practical, and now comes United States Commissioner of Education Claxton and avers that Mr. Edison docs not know what he is talkie ohr.nt "All of Mr. Edison's inven lions," declares Mr. Claxton, "consist merely in tlie application of principles that have been discovered and established by college-brcd men." Then too, Mr. Claxton points out, it was Walter Keid, a college-bred man, who brought the health conditions on Panama up to a point where Gen. Gorgas, another college-bred man, was able to construct the canal. | During the late national campaign The Yorkvillc Enquirer took occasion to observe that the league of nations idea would materialize to a greater or less extent whichever side should win. That fact seemed to be evident. America was already so tangled with the Allies that there seemed to be but one way out?an alliance with Germany? and that, under the circumstances, was unthinkable. But the league of nations idea as embodied in the treaty seems calculated to make of America a I nniifpmnn to compel obedience to the selfish desires of England and France, and that will never do. The task of the American government now is to cut itself loose from its present entanglement, and how long tkat will take no man eas tell. The fight-of Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, against confirmation of avid II. Flair, of Winston-Salem, N. C., as commissioner of internal revenue has not yet been settled. Johnson's grouch against Blair seems to lie in the fact, as oJhnson claims, that having gone to Chicago with primary instructions to vote for the nomination of Johnson lie instead voted for Harding. The opposition of Johnson comimanded but small respect until Johnj son based his fight on grounds of eligibility. He set forth that Blair's fath er-in-lnw, J. W. Cannon, was claimj ing a rebate of excess profit taxes to ! the amount of some $1,300,000, and as internal revenue commissioner Blair would bo in a position to influence the case in tre interest of his father-inlaw. It was shown that the case has been settled in large part, down to some $300,00 Or $-!OU,0n0; but Johnson and associates, claiming that the new commissioner will have a deciding say i!_ .1- ".'"I'liMiinn nf this sum, have I in nit: iiujhu(v?.wv.. .. ... . ; .succeeded in securing1 a postponement j of a 11 mil decision unlil next Thursday, j As to what the outcome of the case is going to be remains to be sctn. If Mr. j Harding insists upo nthe confirmation j of Blair, of course JJlair will be confirmed. in the meantime it is interesting to wonder whether the matter that 'is disturbing SV-sator Johnson would I have disturbed him if Blair had voted ' lor him and lie had gotten the nomination. ^o_ The proposition of thy war depart| moot looking to the publication in the | newspapers of a complete list of all of the thousands of men who have been i charged with having evaded the draft law during the World war, lias sugjgosted many complications that were not at first taken into consideration. One of the first questions raised, was the liability of a newspaper for damages in cases of typographical and other errors that might hold out as a slacker some soldier who performed full service. The legal department of the government gave out a ruling in which it held that there would be no legal'Iiability in cases where the newspapers were not responsible for the errors; but this did not settle the question. It is pointed out that in the list of service men there are hundreds of cases where a dozen or more have exactly the same name, and it is certain also that men who slacked have identical names with other men who served. Among the list of slackers in one Eenjamin Kaufman, of Brooklyn, and in this same city of Brooklyn there is anther Benjamin Kaufman who is within a few months of being the same age as the other, and who is wearing a medal of honor lor neroic servicje renuercu m the Argonne. On the entire list there are 1,83S men bearing the name of Kaufman. It is known that there are many cases of actual deserters who received honorable discharges, and many cases of men who gave faithful service who are down on the records as deserters. Many of the newspapers of the country are unable to see why they should incure responsibility in the publication of such lists, and the solution of the whole problem is probably found in a resolution passed by the house the other day to print'the entire list in the Congressional RecordTrouble With England. The labor troubles in England are Of the same general nature as in the United States, except that England is suffering from a more aggravated condition of a world-common complaint. England's social organization consists of a nobility, a middle class and proletariat class. Each of these classes is graded in about tre same proportion as the others, with upper crust average and hanging on by the eyelids. Generally speaking the nobility had everything it wanted, including money power and social prestige. The middle class had mainly money power footing up in the aggregate more than that of the noble class, and therefore ease and luxury in large measure. The proletariat ranged from comfortable livers down to the povertystricken, according to individual industry, intelligence and physical health. The war took awa* the noble class and pretty well thinned, that class out, after which it made proportionately large drafts on the middle and lowerclasses. But the most important and significant development was the necessity of stimulating labor with high wages, which high wages gave labor such an opportunity for luxury as it had never known before and also stimulated a taste for luxury. If labor had been provident and eco,nomical while times were good, it could, have improved its condition perhaps; but it was not. It spent its princely wages as rapidly as it received trem and never got anywhere much evcept into a state of increased requirements. But since the war, labor has not been able to understand why it should not be paid as much iio^v as previously, and it has not been willing to work for less than it used to got. With the cessation of labor, the resources of the oilier classes have notably bene reduced in proportion; be... . /.;,n ho. no cause wunout i<iuui ... __ _ _ wealth or luxury. The wealthier classes arc unable to figure out how they can give labor what it demands and at the same time continue in the enjoyment of the superior advantages it has heretofore enjoyed, because as a matter of fact the thing canot be done. Labor is not willing to give up that which it believes is its God-given right and hence the deadlock. England seems to be confronted with the alternative of leveling up or leveling down. Either that, or the proletariat must be beaten oh starved back into its old relation, a process which is not now recommending itself as either s fc or pleasant. Federal atronage. The many conflicting stories of the probable control of the Federal patronage in South Carolina are confusing, J?? - ,,yz ; % % r/ 4 r\ f liA mystifying or amusing iittuiu..ib political knowledge and experience of the onlooker. We have been told in the papers that Jos. W. Tolbcrt, of Ninety-Six, has the full recognition of the dominant Republican organization, and the probability is that this will be found to be correct; but until the matter is finally settled by the announcement of rccomjmenclations of South Carolina appointees sent into the senate, there will be a continual muddying of the waters. Following what scorned to be an authoritative announcement that Mr. Tolbcrt was the man, there came a. letter from Tom Miler setting forth most convincingly and insidiously to the uninitiated as how there is really no Re I publican party in the state that us j worthy of the name and. urging the president to wait until tilings develop before taking final action. The significance of Miller's letter was construed variously by different people, and many took it as a matter of course that what the notorious old-lime negro leader said would carry decisive eonelusions. Others more or less familiar with the long continued contest between the Miller and Tolbert wings of ! the party sized up the Miller letter dif| ferenllv. They construed this move to J mean that since Miller had been whipJ pod in the convention and elsewhere, 'and lie could no longer hope for final i success himself, lie was only conecrn! ed that Tolbert should not get it. j Next came out a story from the Culunibia Record to the effect that former | Senator John L. McLaurin would be the official patronage dispenser. The Record has all along been taking more interest in the patronage subject than I has any other newspaper in the state. It has originated a number of stories in connection with the matter, and this McLaurin story was probably launched without a shadow of substantial foundation, merely for the purpose of con- , fusing the situation. Then last there has come out a story , from Columbia to the effect that one Campbell, a Republican from Ohio, J who has been living in this .state for ; several years, and who has an eye on : the job of collector of internal revenue, is arranging to organize an entirely . new "respeciauie out of new material throughout to take charge of and. administer the situation. All of these stories, except as to Tolbert, have been published, for the most < part on a "they say" authority, but whatever else may be said of Tolbert | and his associates, the fact remains j that they went to Chicago with a delegation that secured the recognition of the national Republican executive committee and which voted for the nomination of Mr. Harding from the beginning until the nomination was effected. Of course all these stories as to who is going to control the patronage are interesting, especially interesting to those who are more or less concerned about the matter, and while The Yorkville Enquirer docs not pretend to any inside dope on the subject, it would suggest that until there is more definite and certain information to go on, those who are betting on Tolbert and his associates are most likely to have picked the winners. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS ? J. P. Miller, an electrician, in charge of the light plant at Lake City, was shot and killed on the road, between Lake City and Kingstree last <-?_* 1-" K\r Turn Poston. Mil oauuiuci> lugni. k,J ? ler was going to his home at Kingstree, in an automobile and Poston, with a young woman in his car, was going the other way. The two cars collided well on Miller's side of the road and Poston fired on Miller with a heavy revolver, killing him after three shots, one of which took effect. "When seen at his home later Poston is quoted as saying that "Miller collided with me in the road and I shot hell out of him.'' There was no witness except the young woman. Poston was taken to the penitentiary for safe keeping. ? Columbia, May S: Rufus Roberts, of Lakesland, a 14-year-old boy was almost instantly killed and Edmund Roberts, the boy's father, seriously injured this afternoon when the cap of a "dud," picked up on the Camp Jackson artillery range, accidentally exploded. Mr. Roberts was brought to the Columbia hospital immediately atter the accident where physicians think that blood transfusion may save his life. The large projectiie, which had failed to explode when fired on the camp range, had been brought to the house nearly foycar ago and the cap taken off* The boy, who was sealed beside his father on a bench near his home, attempted to use the cap as a hammer to drive a nail and evidently struck the primer to set off the charge of high explosive used as a detonator. The bench was completely demolished and the boy almost instantly killed, his body being literally torn to piec a, while Mr. Roberts had bis left side severely torn by the explosion, his left arm Incarntod an d his right hand painfully cut. The elder Roberts died yesterday. ? Greenville, May 7: William Thompson, negro, alleged to have- shot and fatally wounded City Policeman Burroughs, last night, was raptured by a posse of officers and citizens about S o'clock tonight about seven miles from the city near the old Camo Sevier reservation, after an exc'iaige of shots in which one of the pursuers was slightly wounded. The negro was brought to jail here. Officer Utirro'^rhs died ahout 4 o'clock this morning. Thompson was spirited away from the jail tonig'ht and is believed to have been taken to Spartanburg. The jailnnri n ritv notice officer say he con fcssod to the attack upon Burroughs. I Trail of the negro was picked up about I 5 o'clock this afternoon in the neighborhood of the Camp Severe site. The negro opened lire upon officers but none of his bullets took effect. The chase was joined in by several hundred citizens of the surrounding vicinity, patents of the tinted States public health service liospilnl and city and county officers to whom the alarm had) been sent. Shortly after C o clock the negro was forced out of the woods to the railroad track. John Shellnut, a farmer, was struck in the scalp when the negro opened fire again. The negro was hit in the leg but again got away and his trail was lost until about S o'clock when he was captured without resistance by a city police officer and two citizens while crossing a road. Officer Burroughs, although off duty, went to the house in answer to a call. When he arrived at the house Thompson. a drug-crazed negro, six feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, attacked him. In the scuffle that ensued Burroughs was shot twice. Details of the fight are meagre, as the only witnesses are a negro woman and a negro man who wore living in ine nousu, notther of whom said they saw ihe actual shooting'. At the coroner's inquest today t.hc jury returned A. verdict that Policeman Burroughs came to his death at the hands of the negro, William. Thompson. Mayor H. C. Harvey today offered a reward of $200 for information leading to the arrest of t:hc slayer.

Cars were passing backward and forward through the town all day. At times during the noon hour streams of cars poured into East Liberty street . from the west, north and south that was suggestive of the traffic of a large * city. i The passing cars came from Green- j ville, Anderson, Laurens, Spartanburg, Cherokee, Union and other South Caro- ! Una counties, and from Mecklenburg, Gaston. Cleveland and other counties t in North Carolina, many of them com- , ing more than 150 miles. While there was no effort to count the cars, their number certainly ran into the hun- 1 dreds. ' Quite a large number of the passers 1 by stopped here for refreshments both 1 coming and going and the Shandon ho- < tel cafe was pretty well crowded practically all day. The other eating places and the soda fountains also got considerable patronage. The eras stations also aid consiaera ble business. GENERAL REPLANTING. Not less than 50 per cent of the cotton <?f York county has been and is being1 replanted, and if is probable that . before the crop is well on its way the | replanting will reach 75 per cent. 1 It is the same story for all parts of the county and from all kinds of land, 1 red, mulatto, sandy and blackjack. Where the cotton was planted during 1 the first two weeks of April it has been j doing no good. Some of it broke 1 through the top surface, some of it 1 sprouted and curled up under without j breaking through and. some of it come ' up and died. It is the common opinion ' that the cold weather,-was the cause. People who have planted within the j past two weeks, are for the most part ' still waiting results hopefully. Some ! have stands, but they are few and far between. Most of those who planted 1 previous to two weeks ago are planting ' again, and planting is going on almost 1 as generally as during the first part of April. It is recalled that the crop was late ' in 1911. It was June before cotton gen- ' erally had come to a stand; but never- 1 theless there was a large crop that 1 year. j YORKVILLE MAN RECOVERS RING David Krivis ot' the firm of Feinstein & Krivis, merchants of Yorkville.'is in Cliarlotte today to testify against a negro porter formerly employed in the Stonewall Hotel who is charged with the theft of a diamond ring valued at $450 which was stolen from Mr. Krivis while a guest at the Charlotte hotel Sunday, a week ago. According to Mr. Krivis, he left the ring in his room and did not miss it i until he returned to Yorkville. He telephoned the hotel seeking information, feeling sure that he had left it there. Instead of going to look himself, the hotel clerk sent a negro porter into the room to find the ring. The negro reported that there was no ring in the room. Krivis had notified the Chalotte police and pawn brokers, and one day last week when a negro attempted to get a pawnbroker to put a valuation ( on a diamond ring he wore, the pawn- ] broker managed to stall him off until he could call a policeman. The ring, a handsome ' solitare is ( again on Krivis's finger and he expects that as a result of fhe testimony that he will give today the negro will assist in road building in the county 1 of Mecklenburg in the state of North Carolina for a period of not less than two and not more than five years. : A.
