American miners according to a dispatch from Indianapolis, Indiana, oppose a return.fi'om prohibition even . to the extent of legalizing light wines * and beer. A resolution endorsing light I wine and beer was refused adoption in the international convention here today. The convention adopted resolutions asking the American I-cgion to "set its house in order," by getting rid ! of members who violate laws. Resolutions favoring an alliance with the railroad brotherhoods, self-determination for Ireland, release of political prisoners, investigation by President Harding of Mingo County, \V. Va? mining conditions, and abolition of the mine guard system were also adopted. ? Plans for the solemn ceremony of : Armistice day, when the nation will pay highest honors to its unknown dead of the great war, reached a eli- 1 max Tuesday when President Harding and his cabinet decided to trudge . afoot up Pennsylvania avenue at the head of a funeral cortege. By presi- ' dential proclamation the business and pleasure of the nation will stand at < fest for two minutes on that day in tribute to the dead as the body from a lonely nameless grave in some great struggle of the war is carried to its last rest in the peaceful Virginia hills that look down across the Potomac on the nation's capital.

Mrs. Hudson, mother of the murdered boys who wan joint y indicted *viih her husband will be placed on trial Monday, it was announced.

The case ! went to the jury at lo.t'.a oYlok after jHtdson, in an unsworn .statement in his own defense had asserted his innocence and arguments and the judge's charge had been completed .it night sessions. "I ini not guilty; I am as innocent as an nngei m n?.i?v... God knows I am," Hudson declared in his statement in which he accused his wife of having been cruel to the murdered children. "She seemed to have a rudge against them," lie said. "Many times I have seen her take sticks and lope and beat the largest boy and I'd beg her not to b.? so horrible to the little fellows." ? A poll of the senate Wednesday indicated that the 1 to rah hill providing for repeal of tolls as applicable to American vessels engaged in coast trade will pass that body when submitted to vote next Monday. Of 70 senators interrogated. 31 favored repeal. 18 opposed and "1 were noncommittal. Taking into consideration former positions of those who could not be reached today, senators present indicated a vote probably a.s follows. 35 for, .'8 against and 16 doubtful. Just a handful of senators from typical southern states will support the Borah bill. The number is limited probably to Senator C'arrawav of Arkansas, Harrison of Mississippi. Shields of Tennessee, and I'nderwood I of Alabama. Senators H' flin of Ala - ; hama, McKellar of Tennessee. Shep- j pard of Texas, Swanson <>f Virginia, ; and Williams of Mississippi will infound opposing the bill and it is likely that they will be joined by Senators Fletcher and Pramniell of l-'lor- < Ida, Harris and Watcon of Georgia, Overman and Simmons of North Carolina and Smith of South Carolina. Senator Harris of CScorgia declared Wednesday night that he favored making the best of a had bargain. He | stressed the necessity of living up to ( a contract, however unfortunate or unwuso it might be. The senators supporting the, Borah bill, however. ' take the position that nothing in the 1 Hay-I'auncefote treaty precludes the j Vnitcnl States taking any iiosition regarding its own coastwise trade in Which England or any other country ' can not compete. They stress th<- 1 necessity, too. of taking some actual ( step towards encouraging a merchant marine.

It seems to be pretty generally believed that the passage of the .I.orah resolution providing that American eoas3-wi.se shipping may use the Panama eanul without paying tolls will he embarrassing to the coming disarmament. conference. Put who really expects that conference to amount to anything anyway? Governor Cooper has declined to grant the reprieve requested for C. O. Fox, taxing the position to Fox's father that the latter should have appealed to"the courts. While from the common sense standpoint, the only practical end involved in the matter is a stay of execution and there is no reason to doubt that Fox is as much entitled to such a stay as is Gappins, still it will have to be admitted that the governor is right in his position. Th< re is really no reason for him to interfere, of course, he has the power to interfere if he should see proper; but then also it must he remembered that he ought not to interfeie unless he has a satisfactory reason. Put after all th<- difference between the governor and the attorney for Gappins in this matter seems to be that while the governor has responsibility and power the attorney has the power without the responsibility.

During the last year of the Wilson administration ! thousands of Democrats whose terms ivore ahout to expire were re-appoint-1 rd. This policy was pursued in all I ho different departments. In the liploiuatie service holders of important posts were transferred under new ippointmcnts to other posts just as i inporlant. in most eases where there 1 were genuine vacancies, or where va-l aneh s would occur before the new idministration could he gotten under i way the senate proceeded with conlir- I nation. In a good many thousand j "ises however. tl;c senate declined to let, leaving the new administration to ill the vacancies according to its own notion. For some months il was an- | lei'stood tliat tliere would he no inter- j "crence with Wilson appointees, who lad been duly eontirnied. Now il is riven out that the administration will! no longer allow itself to he hound in he eases of Wilson appoint' cs wlio nave had full eight years of service; ! ?ut wherever it seems desirable to put Ccpuhlicans or IP-publican appointees n such places the Democratic ineuiiiicnts will he asked to fret out. ^ < >ne of the most serious concerns iust now to the great group that isuuUy directs the general course of \mcricati linanee is the fear that the < uvity ot eoiton might hi ing too urge a proportion of the country's noncy t<( Hie south. Such a develop ll< III, i'I course, win ipinuni u onseiiuencos n"l altmretlicr pleasant n various ipiarti i s. I'or on< tiling, it rould certainly disarrange llic ? xistng onlcr ni things. I'm instance' lliel south has on hand of previous crops, say 3,000,000 hales and ?>f the present' crop say 4,000,000 hales, making about 8,000,000 bales in all. It Is Riven up in all quarters, that the present stock! of the world is far inadequate for the next year's requirements, and it isi generally recognized that prices may easily go "out of sight." This is the! situation that causes fear and tremb- j ling. If the southern cotton crop can be moved at $100 a bale, the transac- j t.? o ,?,mliuhna without, es-I pecially serious consequences to thej plans of those in control. ]5ut if1 it should so happen it would take $200 a hale to move this cotton, it would ] mean that a disproportions 1 share of! the country's money would have to i come to the south and potentially at, least the domination of American ft- j nance would he transferred to this section. Of course it is understood j that no matter how much money; might come to the south the machinery in the hands of the dominant, powers of the northeast is adequate toi eventually bring about a re-adjust- i ment', hut the idea of having to do | this at this time is not a pleasant one for these people to contemplate at this time, and of course they are bringing to hear all their resources to hold the price of cotton down as low as possible. ?

That the house fly not uncommonly makes a journey of 5 to t! miles in the space of 21 hours, is shown by experiments conducted by the Bureau of Fntomology, United Sates Department of Agriculture. The ease with which tins trawl many miles shows the itnpoitainc of general sanitary measures to d< stroy breeding places.

Riddle, who had occasion to go over the National highway from King's Mountain to Spartanburg Wed j nesday night, says that thoroughfare is in first class condition, wi'h the i xeeption of tlie approaches to some of the bridges. Sure the Gaston county fair is well worth attending. The exhibits are numerous and excellent and those Castonia people always have a hearty welcome for visitors. By all mean;: those who can should attend the fair, and if they don't see what they want they should ask Fred Allen. Sudden dip in the temperature during Tuesday brought people who were comfortable in their shirt sleeves in the morning to wanting overcoats in the evening. Frost was predicted freely and Wednesday morning it was reported in low places. The was more frost Thursday morning. There were a good many hundreds of people at the Hartnoss-Orist wedI ding at Sharon Wednesday night. All ; parts of the county were represented, and the church was not half big , enough to accommodate the crowd that J was ia attendance, much to the disappointment of all concerned. Those who saw the ceremony, however, were enthusiastic with the beauty and completeness of it all. Those old Seceders who built Sharon ; > it. 1'. church were about thirty-five years ahead of their time. That is they ; built for their own day and ?he next [ generation ahead. But they built too well. Considering uie ncn uaumuim of their congregation and the present wealth of it, that old building is a reproach rather than a credit. If the previous generation built for thirtyfive years ahead, the present generation is lagging thirty-five years behind. To grow and piAsper as they- should grow and prosper the Sharon A. It. I'.'s deed to build a church at least as far ahead of the present day as their grandfathers built ahead of their day. Supervisor Brown said the other day that he expected to get the chaingang started on the Western road within about two weeks. He could not tell exactly; hut he estimated that it would take another week to complete the regular road building on which the gang was then employed, and that there was still another week of repairj ing to do.

HERE AND THERE There is difference of opinion as to the responsibility for that check that liili & Company of Sharon gave that negro the other day for a stolen cotton ticket. It will be remembered that Hill ! & Company guve the negro a check drawn on the Planters bank. After the negro had negotiated the check at the First National Lank, the First National bank was notified that payment had been stopped. After getting legal advice the First National bank went after the negro, and at the end of a good deal of trouble recovered its nion- i ey. 1 jtwyrrs here differ. All are j agreed that anybody has a right to stop | payment on a check at the bank on J which it was issued, at any time before j it is presented, whether for cause or without cause. "J5u\," say other law- ; yers. "if i had cashed that chock in | good faith, I would have let the draw- I ers of it do some worrying. I would at I least put it up to a jury, it was all j right to stop payment at the Planters j bank, but the drawer of that check would have had to account to me r*>- j less he could have shown the check to be a forgery." .Mr. J.

Frank Anno or .uctonnens- s lie, was in Yorkville yesterday on \ tusiness, and having1 learned that he 1 iad been down in the boll weevil coun- 1 | ry recently, a reporter for The York- , ( rille Enquirer took occasion to ask , i iim about ;t. ! < "Yes, I went over near Florence," [ i said Mr. Ashe, "principally for the pur- j jose of learning something about the < joll weevil; but I don't know how to 1 j'egin telling you about it, because 1 i lon't believe 1 will say anything that t vill be of any particular value. "The best way for anybody who I ivants to learn is to go and see. The f principal thing that they will learn will i je that in spite of all they have heard t md read, they will not be prepared for s what they see. < "Among other things I was told that the Florence county people saw their < first weevils on August 21 of last year. j They were of the belief that they would j be able to make at least one more good i crop before the weevil became generil, so they went ahead as usual. Some folks will make a little cotton, and 1 some will make none. I saw one field I on which there could have been two i bales to the acre. .They have gotten i one bale all right; but the boll weevil got the balance?not a thing doing from about half the helgnt 01 me sum up. "One especially interesting- case was called to my attention. That was the case of a large farmer \vtio failed to get a satisfactory stand on a line held at the first planting and planted over. It has been nothing unusual tOr this man. to make more than two bales to the acre on that land. He has enough v/eed for that much cotton; but actually there is not to be found a single boll in the whole field. The cotton being late the boll weevils were ready for it when it came and they got every square. There is a beautiful field of weed; but. nothing else. "Ry the way this field reminded mo of a circumstance within the recollec- i tion of the older people of our neigh- i borhood that Is well worth telling. I j have reference to an experiment that j was once made by the lute R. E. Guth- \ rie. It was tin unusual season?a late fall?and after his cotton had. been gathered the stalks were still green. There had been no frost. Mr. Guthrie went ahead and mowed the field and cured tho cotton stalks as hay. Some people laughed and others wondered. Rut do you know that he kept many head of cattle through the winter on that hay? It was good hay, too. Of course 1 am not suggesting that anybody raise cotton as a hay crop; but it struck me that this Florence farmer could have gotten some-1 thing out of his field by converting it into hay. "When I saw the situation that had been worked by the boll weevil, I.was reminded quite forcibly of a curious declaration that I once read to the effect that two blue-bottle flies could cat up the carcass of an ox quicker than j two lions could. The think struck me I is incredulous at first; but you see it is a question of geometric progression, i (U f, flv would de-I I'Ol- IMSUIHf lilt 11.1..U.V posit s<> tnanv eggs, and then each J other female fly would deposit so many: more oggs. Weevils bring on a new crop every twenty-one days, and at that rate it does not take but two or three crops of weevils to puncture as many squares as you might happen to have up into the millions. ' Hut from all I codld gather," concluded .Mr. Ashe, "the most important elements of the situation are to get your crop forward, as rapidly as possible, and then keep down the progres- j sion as much as you can by destroying the eggs in the squares that ha we been shed. Of course that does not be- j gin to solve the problem; but it has as) much bearing on it as any other two things I can think of." GYPSY SMITH Before the largest congregation ever assembled in Hock Hill, says the Herald of Oct. 3, Gypsy smitn, jr.,iasi evening delivered liis lirst of a series of messages under the auspices of the ministerial union of liock Hill. The huge tent was packed, while hundreds were seated or stood outside the canvass and listened to the preacher. It was a stirring message and was delivered with a dynamic force that held the interest and attention of all. Mr. Smith made it clear that he did not yet call it a revival meeting, in that a revival was possible only as the grace of God was made manifest in the lives of men. and their consequent acceptance of Christ as their savior. Xor did he want it called a Gypsy Smith meeting. He was simply here, as a messenger of the Gospel of Christ, an assistant to the pastors of Itock Hill in an effort to help them in their work, that the churches might have a more consecrated membership and be enabled to fill a larger field of usefulness in the cause of Christ. His message, which followed, was evidence that he was determined to drive home the truths calculated to make men and women think and act; to get right wjth God if they are in a measure aloof aiul not serving Him as the\ ought. The singing was most inspiring, the large choii singing several choruses and the entire assemblage several hymns known to everyone. Mr. Allen demonstrated his ability as a song leader, some of the verses bi ing sung by sections of the congregation and | then ensemble. The song service showed this would be an enjoyble feature of each service during the meet- , ing. , Uev. \V. F. Gregg read the an- , nouncoments, alter Mr. miiiim nao read a selection from Judges 16:30. Ifoforo reading the lessor, the minister asked that no one t?e seated during the reading of the Scripture. When are are reading. Hod is talking to us. md the selection front the word of Mod is the most important part of any ervieo, declared Mr. Smith. The Invocation was l>y Iter. \V. S. Martin. The text selected by Mr. Smith was fudges 16:30, So the dead which lie ~h \\ at his death were more than they ivhioh he slew in life." He pointed to | he fact like Samson, many unite with | Ihe church with tlie firm conviction ( hat they will render to Cod the l>esi j lutraible service and that they will j ; a ver Is- found wanting when dnt> i t alls. Likewise, like Samson, they often . ail in tin ii- good intentions and fall, u a tor to rise again like Samson and. 11 retting a newer conception of love of I v "itl ist, do even greater works in His i [ "I >?? you renientnor u.e nminin^ i on wore roreived into your church? t )i? you remember as you stood l.? fore i !ic> altar, the promises that you made l mil the unspoken promises too, vour I part was filled with an earnestness v iiul sincerity that no one would doubt V i i"oil were ; lad to be n i-oived into the u lunch, and the very hi st of your t nn 11 hood and womanhood was ruling a liut tnorniiiy, and you wauled your t ife to count. Have you lost anything? lave you lost that earnestness? Have ou lost tha.t sincerity? Have you lost he ambition to attain to that ideal hat God has for you? Have you lost nything? You remember how after >junson had played the fool they put >ut his eyes, put him down in the prisin house to grind; and you know that s typical of so many of us. if some >1' us were to stop for a moment and ook back into the days when we first lurrendered our lives to Jesus Christ ve should shudder to nna now xar ?c iavo traveled,from Him. Some of us lave lost him entirely out of our lives iut we still sro to church and we still each a Sunday school clns - and we ire still an official member of the ihurch, but it is only grinding. There s no spirit there." The ininiraer pictured four phases )f tlie life of Samson nnd likened each o some phase in the life and work of he average church member, his illus-fc [rations being tersely given. He dressed the point that Samson, in all !ii.s strength could not control himself. Men today are enabled to control nost everything, but no man can conrol himself. Samson was shorn of his jtscngth i r.d ?.-.a<!e a. slave because he ;ou!d "hot withstand the wiles of a woman. You need not be a thief, a irunkard, a. murderer, a gambler. Sin Is sin in the sight of God, and there Eire no several degrees of sin. The *ervance of the weakest link in the chain makes its strong links useless. The devil is after piercing the weakest s[>ot in your armor. Ho knows what temptations you can withstand and these are not pressed against you. In some instances it is lack of faith?doubt, and he gleefully handles his victim to increase this doubt. While the message was mora specifically applied to church members, it was ofjually applicable to all and the lesson was forcefully presented in simple words which all could understand." The only message he had, said the preacher, was to bring God's word to the men and women of Rock Hill and to sj>eak to them in such a way that they might be brought Into closer relationship with the Master. Have you lost Jesus, he asked. Mary the mother of Jesus lost Him, and she did not know she had lost.Him. The minister feared there are many who have lost Hint and do r.ot realize this fact. He pictured God, not .as a monster, but as a great loving father, and His great heart yearns over us because He would save us from the things that mar and spoil us and would help us that we might be the finest men and women that he cm make us. He declared that the one who is not striving to make his or her life one of the greatest possible usefulness is not treating himself right, his neighbors right, nor his Cod right.?Rock Hill Evening Herald, Oct. 3rd. LOCAL LACONICS Gypsy Smith Meetings. The Gypsy Smith meetings in Rock Hill are being attended by great crowds of people and promise fine results. Arrangements have been made whereby the noted evangelist is to preach in the Firsjt Presbyterian . church of Yorkville, next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Output of the Gins. The output of the York county cotton gins up to September 25, 1921, according to Special Agent Joseph M. Taylor, was 6,552 bales, against 571 bales up to the same date last year. County Commissioners. The regular monthly meeting of the County Hoard of Commissioners Wednesday was devoted principally to the auditing of accounts. Outside of that there was no business of special importance. Case of Furr. Fort Mill Times, October 6: The state board of pardons was expected to act yesterday on the petition of James P. ("Honk") Furr, requesting that executive clemency be extenaea him. Furr has been a prisoner in the state penitentiary for about eight months. He was sent up for a number of years from Kershaw county for bigamy, having been convicted of marrying a young woman from that county while his wife was living in York county. Furr is said to have been a j>atient at the prison hospital for greater part of the time since he began serving his sentence, suffering from tuberculosis. He has relatives in Fort Mill, who have been active in the effort to secure a full pardon or parole for him. Charged With Aggravated Assault. Boycc Bullock was committed to Jail Wednesday, charged with assault and battery of high and aggravated nature. The charge grew out of a drunken brawl at> Smyrna on Sunday, September 2-4. Some Hambrights and Bullocks went to Bullock's spring, about a mile from Smyrna. They were friendly with each other and also with a bottle of liquor that they had along. Presently, as the result of the liquor, no luubt, a fight developed and during the fight Boyce Bullock struck Wade Hambright over the eye with a bottle. Hambright was knocked down into a ditch. When Dr. Miller arrived on the scene the injured man was all but dead. There was no pulse and the doctor really thought he would die. He said so. Magistrate Smith came along later. Hambright had been moved, but in the place where he lay there was a pool of blood. "Why," says Magistrate Smith, ? "a beef wou'd hardly have bled so much." But Bullock was gone. Later Constable* Mclvnignt arrested him at Blacksburg. Linwood College Property. riastonia Clazotte: At a conference Wednesday afternoon between President A. T. Lindsay, of Linwood College. and the holders of $50,000 in bonds against the pro|>erty, it was announced by Mr. Lindsay that the college property had been sold to the negro Baptist of North Carolina on the condition of the payment of $75,000 in ash, $25,000 in March, 1922, and $25. 00 in March 1922. Mr. Lindsay added that not until the $50,000 in bonds was paid off would the property be transferred. He added, furthermore, that >n Wednesday he had received word from the negro authorities that they tvere expecting to meet the $75,000 ash payment, within a short time. It is understood, that out of this initial payment the $50,000 in bonds will be retired. It developed at the conferoee that the issuing of a restraining inter I?v tlie Donunouiers enjoining *?? mndsay from selling the property had >iqued him .somewhat, it was the pinion of those present, from Mr. Lindsay's remarks, that he thought Ik- Castonia citizens were seeking to revt nt the sale of his property. It vas clearly shown Mr. Lindsay, durng t!ie course of the meeting that the ?nly purpose of the injunction was to marantic tin- bondholders against any ossih'e loss through the sale of the roputy without retiring the bonds, 'pon the statement of Mr. Lindsay hat tlie first monies from the sale of he property would be applied to the >on<ls, the air was cleared and the londholders satisfied. Judging from vnai was sniu ana none ai wie inr, Lin wood College is sold to the i?'Kr?)os, as soon as I hoy moot tho iniial payment of $75,000.
