In connection with the controversy over whether Mr. Sharp was'to tell it ; privately or in open court, it was sug- j gested that authorities did not like to j risk" the open court business because Mr. Sharp might tell more than the court wanted told; but that was all passed off on the other hand with the explanation that open court testimony might give the opportunity to escape for parties who might otherwise be arrested, etc. There is a lot -of rotten business going on in Charlotte; but they are keeping a good deal of it pretty well hidden. \|orkviUc ^aquifer.

In fact this ^ is as it should be, because there is no n other way to test the real standing of n the incumbent.

Law and Order. When the circuit judges and the newspapers run out of anything elso to talk about Ihey generally give attention to the so-called "crime \v*ave," and the necessity for more strict enforcement of laav. There is a lot of law and order talk going out at th6 present time, the said talk being premised mainly on the assumption that the so-called crime wave is running with such unusual violence as to be a menace to the present and future well-being of society. The commonest explanation or the so-called crime wave is that it is in the nature of a kind of back wash of '* 1 ' 4 nAAAuonvilv flo. the (lemoraiizaii'ju mm nv^vnou* veloped out of and by reason of the war. One of the questions that arises in connection with the whole subject is. are wo really honest about it, or arc we Just talking to have something , to talk about? So for as The Yorkvllle Enquirer is concerned, it does not believe that the so-called crime wavo is running any higher at the prenent time than it has run at other tine* before the war, nor does it believe that there is any more laxity in enforcing the law than thero has always been. ?.. ihot ihr.ri too much laxity in enforcing the law everybody knows. There are some who lire not willing to make free admission; but all the same they know It. And if we would be really honest with ourselves in seeking for the reason why the law is not enforced as It should be, we would have to confess that it is because we have Wt as much regard, for the law as we ought to have, especially in its application to ourselves.' % It is common to see men wfoo will take almost any risk that will enable them to enjoy especial privileges that are not sanctioned by law, and as a rule it is these very people who are usually most impatient when they see those ^special and unwarranted privileges exercised by other people. Then again In South Carolina, the law is rather too much within the control of the lawyers. The aim of the lawyer Is to prevail for his client rather than to vindicate his client, and on this account many a guilty defendan.t goes free where he should be punished. And because it is wrong, the public can never be reconciled to a system which, to all intents and purposes, make justice a matter of barter and sale?a personal prerequisite. Regardless of all that may be said of crime waves being in the nature of backwash from war demoralization and other such buncombe, thoughtful people will not be defceived. The only remedy for disopcaience tu law iu punishment. That was the remedy that the Almighty prescribed in the case of Adam, and it has been the accepted remedy all down the ages till now. Neglect to mete out proper punisnment for disregard of law has always brought confusion to those guilty of such neglect, whether it be in the cas I of a parent neglecting his or her duty to the children, or a government neglecting its duty toward its citizens, end from all the experiences of the past there is no reason to look for any change of this law in the future. If a country would enjoy security to life, liberty and property with peace and prosperity that always follows such a condition, it must not only have f* code of wholesome laws, but it must enforce those laws against all violators with unquestionable integrity and in justice and mercy. State Campaign. The biennial canvass for state offices, which opened at Columbia on Tuesday wh.hout untoward incident, is proceeding according tp schedulfe, and up to the present has not been marked by any kind of u clash, that seems to have a benring on final results. The Columbia meeting was ideal in every particular. K&ch of the candidate was allowed to say his say in his or her own way, without interruption except by way of fi fondly applause when a part or all of the audience felt disposed to indicate its approval. The Columbia theatre, in which the meeting was held, was comfortably full, the crowd being estimated as seven or eight hundred. Men predominated, of course; but there were a number* of women scattered through j the audience. | The candidates for governor were the first s|?eakers. These were Cole L. I Mease, John T. Duncan, George K. Dtney, Thos. G. .McLeod, and William Coleman. J. J. Cantey, also a Candidate for governor, was not present at the opening meeting. Governor I I Mi use read his speech, which was I ...i.o i? f,,n in the last issue of I'limiMn ii nt The Knquircr. Mr.* Laney, who has hewn,a member of the general assembly lor many yeaik, reviewed hi. record as evidence of his consistent stand for economy. Mr. Mcleod declared himself I lor economy, hut look the position that I the heaviest end of the tax levy is for eoiintx pin poses. Mr. Coleman urged | his record as a successful business in.hi and declared his ambition to serve | his slate In that capacity. Mr. Dun- ; an resumed where lie had to leave off hi a previous campaign, with Ills warnings about I lie wicked "ring" and "system." .Mrs. Ili ssle lingers Drake of Ren-I lU'ttsvillc, and Mrs. 10. I!. Wallace of I Columbia, candidates for superintend-j cut of education, were both warmly j applauded and both made good speeches along edae it hunt I lines. Mr. Swearingca reviewed the line record he has made us director ol the educational regress of the state and explained liew the teachers and patrons of the schools were not willing that he should leave the office. Messrs. Rion Itope of Union, O. D. Seuy of Richland, and G. H. Seigler of Aiken, each presented his claims for the same office. James C. Dozier, candidate for sec! retary of state, made it clear that he , is not asking for the office because of j his record as a soldier; but purely on j a basis of his fitness and capacity as , a citizen. Mr. W. Ranks Dove urged the faithful service he had given in the past as the reason why he should i be allowed to continue that service. Harold Ewbanks and D. M. Winter, candidates for attorney general, pitched into Attorney General Wolfe for the alleged extravagance in the conduct of his office, and Mr. Wolfe pointed out tlfht his accounts had all been-examined and reviewed by the state bank i ai 111ji iivji . Jennings K. Owens, candidate for lieutenant governor, was not able to be present because of business that was holding him outside of the state; but promised to Join tho campaign as soon as possible. Dr. E. C. Adams of Richland, and E. B. Jackson of Wagner, presented their claims for the office of lieutenant governor. Several other candidates spoke, but the crowd had become so wearied that those candidates cut their remarks short. i po far the campaign has not developed a great deal of Interest and the indications are that the point hern and the point there, the putting together of which will determine the attitude of groups of voters may be slow in developing. MERE MENTION I Mrs. Anna Dickie Oleson has been nominated for the senate in the Minnesota Democratic primaries,, the first woman to be nominated for "this high position by one of the major parties. Six tourists on their way from Fort Lauderdale, Fla;; back to their home in Nicholasvyie, Ky., were killed at a railroad crossing in Macon, Ga., Tuesday. A Wichita, Kansas, dispatch of Tuesday reports that eight harvesters were killed during the day. Four were run over by a Sante Fe passenger train near Wichit^, three fell or were thrown from a train and one was killed in a wreck The British. house of commons on Wednesday condemned the Palestine-made policy of the government, by a vote of 60 to 20 The New York Federal Reserve H>inlr nn Wednesdav reduced its re discount rate frqjn 4 1-2 to 4 per cent.

Mrs. Olsen Wins Democratic Nomination for Senator. St. Paul, Minn., June 21.?Returns from Minnesota's statf-wide primary Monday were sufficiently near couii fiction today to show Mrs. Anna Dickie Olsen far in the lead of Thos. Meighan, her nearest opponent for the Democratic nomination for United Siutes senator. Sentiment on the question of sending: a woman to the I United States senate will be an added feature to party issues in the general election in Minnesota next November. "Anna Dickie." Colquet, Minn., June 21?To the country at large she may be Anna Dickie Olsen, but to this city of 8,000 people, she will always be Mrs. Peter Olsen, though even her husband, who is superintendent of Colquet'n schools, insists that the "Anna Dickie" be substituted for the "Mrs. Peter"' when she is referred to in newspapers. Husband and Daughter Thrilled. And the little family of three?especially the husband and 14-year-old daughter, Mary?were thrilled with the knowledge that the wife and mother had been chosen to "pioneer a trial for women in politics" as Mrs. Olsen herself has termed it. "It is no personal tribute," she insisted to The Associated lb-ess. "It is only the endorsement of the Democratic state platform, as formulated by the state convention that endorsed me for the senate. I sought to hring that platform to the mcmltcrs of our party; my nomination is simply an evidence of its acceptance." Deeply Grateful. "I am deeply grateful to the people that have stootj by inc in the primary campaign," she said. "I did not seek the nomination in the Minneapolis convention, but having accepted I did the best I could?with the limited funds at my command?to make an effective campaign for, the furtherment of the party's interests." "Now that I am nominated," she said, "will do the best I can for the party through fhe fall campaign, and T think we will have a united party when the November election comes j around. If elected in November, I | shall do the uttermost to serve the I fiim|IIU wuii. "During my primary campaign I | .sot up an my motto?anfl 1 shall coni tinue to keep it before me in the fall campaign?the words of Washington: 'Let us raise the standard to which the wise and honest can rally ?the event is in the hands of Clod.'" Admirer of Bryan. Np more than $500 was spent by Mrs. Olson in her primary campaign, she said. She visited nearly forty towns and cities in every section of the state, traveling in a small sedan i automobile given her by her friends. Most of the time she did her own driving. Mrs. Olson explained her party affiliations with the assertion that she was just "born a democrat," and an admirer of William Jennings Bryan. Born in Do Seuor county, Mi^n., 36 years ago, Mrs. Olsen came from a family which had pioneered in Minnesota. Raised on a farm where she lived nnti! she was married, she traveled three miles a day to reach the iiigh school at Walterville, Minn., for her early education. House work, Mrs. Olsen declares, does not have to bo neglected by the woman in politics, any more than a woman in club work need to have her J kitchen sink constantly piled high | with dishes. She explained: "A man takes part in civic affairs without neglecting his vocation, and a ! woman can as readily adjust herself, to the new order that is sure to ac- I company the advent of women in polit ies." | m , ?

Chief of Police Ed Steele, who knows about such matters, says that without a doubt Yorkville is the cleanest town In South Carolina, both as 10 ouowegging auu vice. ? A woman who lives at the Lockmore Cotton mill, was on the streets yesterday begging for bread for herself and three children. She told people to whom she appealed that she had been without work for two weeks and that her three children were sick. ? The directors of the Loan and Savings Bank and the Peoples Bank & Trust company have held their semiannual meetings and both banks will pay their usual semi-annual dividends on July 1, the Peoples Bank & Trust company 4 per cent, and the Loan and Savings Bank 5 per cent. ? The Cannon Mill Company of Yorkville has reduced wages of all employes of the mill ten per cent, effective last Monday. Three-fourths of the mill machinery is being operated four days a week while the other twenty-five per cent, is being operated on full time. ? The Rcdpath Chautauqua will come again next spring, fifty citizens of the town having again guaranteed the Chautauqua people the sum of $1, 250 for a return engagement here some time next spring. A representative of the chautauqua spent several days here this week working on the matter and it required no little effort to get the necessary number of guarantors. The recent chautauqua here cost the guarantors $4 each, ? A preacher of the Holiness church, commonly called "Holy Rollers," held forth Monday evening on South Congress street, for an hour or so preach ing in what ho called the unknown tongue to a number of followers and a number of curious people. During his discourse he was interrupted, by two young men of Yorkville, who have some knowledge of the*Uible, and there was quite an argument during the meeting. ? At a meeting of the town council held yesterday afternoon the council discussed the practicability of effecting an entrance of the new West road into Yorkville by West Liberty street and took under advisement an offer made by Supervisor Brown some time ago to lend the county convicts and road machinery to bu'ld that part of the road within the corporate limits of the town. It was decided to request a joint meeting with the county board of commissioners at some time in the near future at which time it is hoped to perfect plans for bringing the road into Yorkville by the West Liberty street entrance. ? So far there is little interest in tadio telephones in Yorkville and there | is only om* ratlin outfit in the town, j that being the property of Mr. W. W.! Barron, well known dealer in electrical supplies. While Mr. Barron has given a number of radio demonstrations and exhibitions, till of them have not been suecessful because of too much static electricity in the atmosphere, making them useless. Some time ago there was some talk of trying to interest the general public in the purchase of an outfit to be set up ju the city hall. Information has come to those interest- , cd that the radio telephones are of lit- ! tie value in the summer, due to too much static and people generally have ( apparently lost interest in the subject.! ? The "American Athletic Girls" a bast ball team composed of live women and four men lost to a picked-up team of Yorkville on the high school grounds here yesterday afternoon?f> to 4. During the lirst few innings the girls took tlie lead and it looked like they were going to get away willi.it. Three of the girls, the lirst basenlan. ; second ha si man and center fielder) were real baseball players tind did some good playing both at bat and in j the field; but it was the four malp 1 players, especially the pitcher and ] catch#!-, who held things together for them. The woman second baseman i drew a laugh from the crowd when she | told Umpire Bert Smith to "get the 11 j hay out of your eyes, won't you" after \ the umps had called a strike on her when she thought the decision should have been a ball. While the locals won the game, they were hard put to it to win, the women putting up a sur- , prisingly good exhibition of baseball. The girls play the Aragon Mill team in Hock Hill this afternoon.

POLITICS With numerous hats already in the ring and rumors upon rumors of other sombreros to come sailing, the York county political pot has begun to boil for the good year 1922, although it is a fact beyond dispute that the candidates themselves are doing most i of the stirring since the voters generally appear rather Indifferent toward the pot of political porridge. While the great majority of the voters arc sufficiently interested.to turn to the political advertising columns of The Yorkville Enquirer in order to look over the new announcements, so far there is little enthusiasm among them over ;iny candidate or any set of candidates. Most of the candidates to whom the reporter has talked admit it themselves while the women don't seem to care "a hit,", as one candidate rather resentfully stated the other day. The farmers are much more interested in the cotton market just now and in Ills Krightfulness, Mr. It. Weevil than they are in county politics or state politics or any kind of politics. J More 4han a month is yet to elapse before the lists close in York county and it is predicted that there will lie quite a large number of candidates for various offices to come yet. For instance, the hope is that there will at loost one more and probably sev ! eral more candidates for the house of ! representatives. There are four as| pirants in the field now. Messrs. \V. R. | Bradford. of Fort Mill; Erwin Carothers of Rock Hill and Emmett W. I'ursley of Santiago who would succeed themselves, and Mr. \V. J. Talley of Rock Hill, a man who is not without political experience but wjio is new to the game as It is played in I a York county contest. Announcements today of the eandi! dacies of Ralph H. Cain of Sharon j for probate judge and Hugh G. Brown i to succeed himself as supervisor of York county brings the number of aspirants for each of these offices to three. Probate Judge J. E. Houston announced some time ago his candidacy for re-election and Mr. Jeptha I), ('.win of Sharon has also had his top piece in the ring for the probate judgeship for several weeks. There is talk of other candidates to enter the ring for this office; but there is nothing definite as yet. Due to the fact that so many North Carolina j folks as well as York county folks are coming to York county for marriage licenses these days and due to the further fact that the probate judge gets a fat fee on account of the inheritance tax bill passed by the last general assembly, the office is said by 1 people who know to be one of the liost ' paying if not the best office in the county. A rather merry race is prom- ; ised for tiie nomination. Supervisor Brown is being opposed for re-election by Th??s. W. Boyd of ' I.esslio and John F. Gordon of Til- ' yah. both of whom have held the oftiee and who have many friends and 1 aei|iiaint nitres oyer the county. Since j ! tiie supervisor's office is always the!', football in York county politics, near- |1 lv all persons /cussing the roads when jv they have nothing else to cuss about, 1 it is expected that there will he a lively race for the nomination for supervisor also. Although there are now eight candidates in the race for county treasurer to succeed "Big Harry" Neil, who announced away early in the year that lie would not seek re nomination, it is not unlikely that there will he more candidates. In fact friends and admirers of Mrs. Hilda Iteid Kwart Quinn. who for many years has heen chief clerk in the office of county treasurer, have been urging her to make the race and there are a number who believe that she will enter before the lists close. So far Superintendent of Education John E. Carroll and Auditor Broadus M. Ixive have no opposition for reelection. There was talk some time ago that a "young lady school teacher from the eastern section of the county would oppose "Professor" Carroll this year, but nothing has been heard of late and the story has been charged to the account of the Loyal Order of 1'olifical Prevaricators. If anybody is going to buck Auditor Love, he or she . is keeping it mighty <|iii?'t. The auditor says ho ho|?cH ho will got by with-* out opposition which is a perfectly natural hope tin his part. Furthermore, he doesn't deny that he would be wearing the smile that won't come off if the county executive committee would close the lists right now instead of waiting so doggone long about it. While they have made no official announcement it is presumed that County Commissioners W. W. Lumpkin and John ('. Kirkpatrlck are willing to succeed themselves. No opposition to them has been officially registered either.* Sheriff Fred yuinn, Senator John II. Hart and Clerk of the Court T. E. McMackin are not required to seek renomination this year, since each of them are serving a four year term and were nominated in 1920. All of 1 he piinrlid'ilKU nrn inul ins: along so far, apparently taking things easy beoause that is. the only way. They are not campaigning among the farmers and farm women very much because they realize that the present is a vary busy tiino with the farmers and that it were best to put in their strongest lidks in layingby time. ? , ?i ' LOCAL LACONICS Killed by Sorghum. Green sorghum cane is believed (to have caused the death of three cattle of the herd of C. H. Smith of York No. 4, one day this we^k. A herd of eighteen got out of the pasture and into the cane, three of them, two cows and a steer dying a short time after eating heavily of the sorghum. Smith Lost Fourth Horse. t A fine horse, valued at $300, tho property of Jeptha Smith, son of C. H. Smith of York No. 4, died suddenly yesterday morning under rather pecu liar circumstances. The horse had been hitched with other horses, pulling a disk harrow, when it becamo suddenly ill and died within a short time. This is the. fourth horse that Mr. Jeptha Smith has lost in th? past several years. Messrs. Henry and Jeptha Smith, who farm together, have had hard luck this week, two cows and a steer belonging to Mr. Henpy Smith, having died during the week as a resiflt of eating green feed. It is not thought that the horse which died yesterday, had gotten hold of any of this feed. The Case of -Cohen. Port Mill Times, Thursday: The statement was made in Port Mill a day or two ago by a friend^ of M. A. Cohen, who was shot and " seriously wounded one night several weeks ago [ by prohibition officers when he refused to obey their order to stop his car on the public highway near town, that instead of bringing the action which he threatened* against the officers in the state coWts, Cohen was endeavoring to enter suit against them in the Federal courts. Very little has been heard of the shooting of Cohen in Fort Mill for some time and the impression seemed to he that the whole matter would be dropped. Mr. Cohen moved from Fort Mill to Uastonia, N. C., several weeks ago and is now in the mercantile business there. * Lifer Escapes. Frank Smith, a mulatto negro doing a life time sentence on the York coun* ty chaingang escaped from the gang on the West' road about three and one-half miles west of Yorkville, early Wednesday morning. The convicts and wagon train were on their way to the work from the camp when Smith asked permission to go to the rear to get a shovel. There was St thick patch of woods near-by and Smith dived into the woods. Several minutes elapsed before ho was missed and although a search was made for him all of Wednesday morning he could not be located. Smith was convicted at the April term of court of the killing of another negro in Ebenezer township on account of his wife. The negro admitted at the trial that he had been carrying a pistol for months with a view to getting the other negro, and this fact convicted, hint although the jury immediately after rendering its verdict agreed to ask a pardon for Smith. Evidently thinking the pardon was a long time coming if ever, he left at tho tlrst opportunity. Candidate Talley. ^ Air. W. J. Talley, of Rock Hill, was in Yorkvllie between trains Wednesday evening, having come over to see friends here in connection with his candidacy for the general assembly. In discussing the subject with, a re- 9 jjorter for The Yorkville Enquirer, Air. Talley said: "I am not conscious of any special qualification as a representative in the general assembly; but many of my friends?havc been insisting that 1 offer, and of course I would like to go. Of course I ain not much of a talker; but I can tell what I think pretty well, and 1 will know enough to vote for what I think is bathe best interest of York county and of the state*. If I am elected as a representative of York county in the legislature, of course 1 will understand that to mean that I am one of tho representatives of the whole county, and 1 shall endeavor to act accordingly. Rut you understand that'I am a laboring man; that my life has been spent among people who contribute their share <>f the public good by working with their hands, and naturally I understand the viewpoint of these people best." ????? ?
