Entered at the Postoffice at York, as Mail Matter, of the Second Class.;1 FRIDAY, AUGUS'TJ2, 1921. Hon. J. William Thurmond says that he is content to retire to his Jaw practice and farming; but the politically sophisticated are speculating as to whether it is the governorship or Mr. Dial's sent in the senate that he will try for next. Some of the politicians are of opinion that it is Cooper for the supreme court bench at the next session of tha general assembly, with Lieutenant Governor Harvey as his successor in the governor's chair. ThtV forecast looks plausible enough at this stage of the proceedings; but time'wfll show. The Charlotte Observer quote's Col. Leroy Springs of Lancaster, as saying that cotton will go to fifteen cents during the .present, month.' There is very little question of the fact that Col. Sprinss-is < >*.?,.! the-best informed men in this section on the cotton ?p.ion, and his vii-\\> on the subject ? ? u? It used to be a comfnonly accepted belief that Dial, began runniitg .yj; linsl Senator Tillman because*' Tillman would not do what Dial wanted with reference to the political advancement of Dial's son, and by the -same measure it is entirely natural that Thurmond should run against Dial, because Dial obeyed the Columbia State in defeating Thurmond'* confirmation. Henry Tillman is being talked of in some?quarters as a probable candidate for the' govt a norship: but as t<* whether the talk is founded on anything better than that fact that he is a son of the late senator does not^ appear. Although conditions have changed very much in the past thirty years, polities are about the same.

'W-*or some time past rumor has 'been I filling the lake with automobiles rofl' ed in thcre by owners seeking to claim the insurance against theft.

In fact, nothing: was found on 'the bottom of the lake but mud, trash and scraps. However, there are tho.se who say that the drainage work hrs not been done in vain, for jf therwater [is kept out of the place there will be an improvement in the health of the neighborhood immediately surrounding. Feud Politics. The News and Courier and Columbia State in recent issues published a lengthy fcdinmunlcation from J'. William Thurmond, attacking Senator N'. It Dial for having prevented his con- j flrmation after he had been reappoint-! ed by President Wilson as district attorney. In the courso of his communication Mr. Thurmond points out that since I Attorney General Daugherty * has dc-j clarcd that lie does not jyropose to ask I for the resignation of "Wilson appointees until thy expiration of his term, except for cause, if it had not been for the opposition of Dial, he Thurmond, would have remained in office until 1924. Among the reasons mentioned by At,. Thnimnnil for Mr. Dial's opposi-, (ion to him was that ho Thurmond,' had voted for Tillman against Dial in ' 1912; but the Democratic attorney general and President Wilson had brushed aside this reason as unworthy ofi I : consideration. Nevertheless Dial had ' | succeeded in having the appointment1 I1 field up. Air. Thurmondv continues: On December 12, 1920, Senator Dial1 gave to the press a. statement in ex- J t planation of the reasons for blocking my confirmation,'among other things] said: "He appreciated very much the [ I assistance Air. Thurmond had rendered him in the las? campaign, and yet at the same time he was under prior ' obligations to friends who had aided ! him on former occasions ? * ? /' ] And tin* newspaper aitlcle concluded, ; "Senator DiaI announced that lie! would ask the s- nate to confirm the J nomination of Air. Thurmond and hop"J?ii the matter wobicl be disposed of at' an early day,",b.ut this interview was ! a tissue, of deception and insincerity,! for 1>? knew, then that his time for helping me had passed. Also in his communication Air. Thurmond refers to the fact that since (the time of alleged offense in v;oting for Til'mnn in 1912, Dial had been a | guest at Thurmoifd's home during the 191S campaign when 1 .lease was his opponent. Then concludes Air. Thur-1 I moiid: , I I reave Senator Dial, the greatest political accident tin* state over had,! to revel in his own littleness, bitter- | ness, and arrogance. We have not seen a great deal of j I comment on this. The newspapers do I not seem to be especially concerned? I none of them except the (')lumbia j State, which takes occasion to defend 1 Mr. Di.il jrom tne i;im :i?|m-imuii, i-hh; i 11 ^ attention to the fart that .Mr. Dial had the nerve and courage to ran I against Mr. Tillman, regardless, in I which determination he showed 111? j ^better than many others. Ihil the strange thin:; to us is that I j Mr. Thurmond did not give the public a more satisfactory explanation ot I Mr. Dial's opposition. Anybody ran see that ThurrnfaidV I vote for Tillman against Dial in llti'J could have nothing to do with Dial's hostility to Thurmond in December.; lyipt, witti Tillman dead jdnce 1 !iIs. and Thtutnmid a- .supporter of Dial from | t hence on. Tlio.sr who remember the lirst ap- i pointmrnr of Thurmond in I'.HS. will ' recall the bitby* opposition of the Co-' lumbia State, nri well as the reason therefor. to-wH: That Thurmond had assisted in the defense of dim Tillman, when he was on trW for the murder:, of X. (I. 'ion/.ales. The el targe of "political neoldent" against Dial is about as true as itjhas ever l een against any other man who | has i vi f been elected J" political of lice in South Carolina.

Kirby, one of the three tjicn- involved in that horrible Brazell murder down in Lexington county last Monday, and who has turned state's evidence against his companions has a York county record and the car on account of which Brazell was murdered, was the property ol* Boyce Lilly, formerly of Filbert, Clover ar.d Ycrkvll!e, ? =- i_ .1 ... f....... A i lie mam mem in me nnn.u to are related in a paragraph. to be found elsewhere in today's issue Of The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Sheriff Fred Qtiinn and the reporter smirched tlie records in the cas\ a pa in.st Kirby in York county Thursday morninp. It appears that he was convicted together with one Lester Herring, white, for assault and robbing a white man near Kock Hill in l'Jltf. In November of that year the pair were convicted. Herring drew two years on the York county ehaingang and Kirby was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary in Columbia. He was sent to the penitentiary because of the fact that he has only one arm.. An appeal was taken in the Kirby ease but this was later abandoned and lie was carried to the penitentiary the following January, 1917. Discussing the Columbia murder and Kirby whose initials appear on the jail record here as "S. J/' instead of "F. I.." Slurirn Qulnn said that he remembered Kiib.^ind the charge upon which lie was convicted very well. . "He was then' a handsome looking man," said the sheriff; "but lie socmen to 'carry all the appearances of a criminal. Still we never ftad any (rouble with him as a prisoner. As well as I recollect, he had a wile and child with whom he was living at the time of his arrest and conviction here. The little girl, I remember, was a pretty little* thing and his wife was a line looking -woman. "It seems to me that Kirby tried to shift all tiie blame for tlie assault and robbery against him on his companion. Herring, even as in the present ease lie is trying to place the responsibility for ill" murder upon his two companions. "lie may be correct in his story this time, but 1 merely mention the circumstance since he played the same L-nnie in the oilier ease. "As well ;is I recollect," the sheriff continued. "Kirby was in inm ?!? in Vork county even before lie was convieted ?.f huiiriury and assault. Tiierr was a Iree for all fpht of ship:' kind it Catawba Da in about the time the nil was be in it built and it seems to inn that Kirby was.mixed up i.i that, lie was imt convicted-on that occasion, imwever."
