Im-~i mediately .after the killing a large mob i collected and a search for Glover was ? commenced and oontinued till Tuesday. Glover resisted arrest nnd seri- , ously wounded Policeman Phelps before he finally surrendered. He was taken from the officers later nnd his body was literally riddled with bullets. It looked for a time as if there 1 n Pfrp would be a bloody race riui w proportions in Macon: but the trouble was finally quieted down. ? Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, died at his summer home at Sidney, Nova Scotia, -last Wednesday morning- at - o'clock. Dr. Beil had been in bad health for several months; but his death at this time was unexpected. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1S47, and came to America when a lad. He early devoted himself to the study of accous-tlcs and had much success in teaching -deaf people to hear. It was his investigations along this line that led him into the invention of the telephone, the i "first principles of which he discovered -in 1876. Later he studied electricity, and was not long in perfecting his invention to the point where he was able to talk indefinite distances. His ownership of the patents was not estab???u 5>ffPr a jonp fight in the HViiru u?u. ? courts. He lived to see his invention, -which was originally based on experiments with a dead man's ear, become ?the universal method of long distance ^communication it is today. -?feminine jealousy as anti-war propaganda, says an Athens dispatch, Hs the latest complication in the Turko-Greek fighting in Asia Minor. Many dreeks, both officers and men, have taken unto themselves Turkish affinities since the Greek army invaded Anatolia, and their women folks arc licar" ing about it. They don't live it; in fact | they are so alarmed that they are clamoring that the war be ended uuickly so their husbands and swect'rearts can be brought home and demobilized. Many of the Greek scalers have been under anus for nine ears. ? Experts of raw cotton durinx the fiscal year ending June 30 increased by ? 1,000.000 bales as compared with the previous twelve months, according to a report issued by the commere? department Wednesday, Cotton exports aggregated 6,500,000 bales, valued at ^06,000,000, as compared with .',400,000 bales worth $600,000,000 durirg the previous year. June exports tc.ailed 1-1? nan ano atrainst I ,i?l,UUU Diixct> v"-.-? trf 95.000 bales at $30,000,000 during June 'ni year ago. ? This year's cotton crop was placed at 11,499.000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight in the second forecast of the season Tuesday by the department of agriculture, basing its estimate on the conditlpn of the crop July 25, which was 70.8 per cent of a normal. There was a decline of 0.4 points in condition from June 25 to July 25. the condition of June 25 having been 71.2 per cent of a normal on which the first forecast of the season, 11,065,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight, was based. The average change in the last ten S'ee.rs between June 25 and July 25. i was a decline of 8.9 points. The condition of the crop on July 25 by states follows: Virginia, 80; North Carolina, 78; South Carolina, 6u; Georgia, 54: Florida, 65; Alabama, 70; Mississippi, 74; Louisiana, 70; Texas, 72; Arkansas. 81; Tennessee. 85; Missouri, 90; .Oklahoma, 75; California. 95; Arizona, 86; New Mexico. 85. The final outturn Xjf the crop, the department announced, Ihny be larger or smaller than forecast Tuesday as conditions developing dortnir the remainder of the season prove more or less favorable than * average, 'the acreage of cotton abandoned to July 1 was summarized it 7.1 per cent, the department announced in a supplemental statement issued in response to senate resolutions. ? The British foreign office h:\o issued the text of an important note on the questions of inter-allied debts. Though not formally addressed to the Washington government, having been ostensibly meant only for some of the Allied and associated powers, it evidently is intended primarily for consumption in the United States. The ' note places on formal record on the eve of the coming conference between Premier Pointare and Prime Minister Lloyd (leorge, with representatives of Italy and Belgium in London, the British government's views on the question of inter-allied indebtedness r.nd reparations. Briefly, the policy r,dvo- J cnted is that it would be unjust to the British taxpayer to ask him to forgive Allied war debts while at the same time he ?Was required to shoulder the indebtedness to America. The note, which was addressed by the Earl of Bftlfour, acting foreign secretary, to France, Italy, Jugo-Slavia, Portugal and Greece, constitutes a strong plea for international settlement of debts and reparations on the basis of a general cancellation of inter-allicd indebtMcss and a generous reduction in Ger mail repiir m.u.-. aim .11 mr .-mi. is the government's reply to those persons of the public and the newspapers which have frankly advised cancellation of the French, Italian and other Allied debts to England, irrespective of whether the United States was willing to cancel the Hritish debts. ? Discovery: of an almost tropical valley with rivers of boiling water, many mineral springs. abnormal j iVant growth and abounding with i game, in far northern L'ritish Colum- | bin. is reported by Frank i'erry. mining engineer of Vancouver, back after 17 years spent prospecting the weird ! valley close to the Yukon border. The 1 .~ca covered by Mr. i'erry during his ootg sojourn in the cold north country I - roughly 700 miles north and south I id 300 miles wide, between the roast- j al range and the Lizard and Fort No!- j . son riversi The unusual sight of a ! heavy fog in winter attracted hint to j 1 he valley and later exploration showid it to be approximately 200 miles long and about 40 miles wide. Hirers of hot water ran through it ted by hundreds of hot springs, which bubbled out of the ground in all directions. the steam troin these being condensed on rising, forming th" fog j which he had first seen froiti the rartfe crest- Mr. Perry reported he ! saw mqny wild ajupt^jp. Thoso congregated for the luxuriant vegetation, made possible by the heat generated by the springs, and in the valley were hundreds of mountain sheep and goats, caribou and moose with bears and other fur-bearing animals. The moose, almost square from fat, were so tame that he has been aide to walk amongst them and could almost touch them, he said. The tree growth in the valley was abnormal, Mr. I'erry states. The ordinary wild rose bushes were like trees, with stems as thick as a man's forearm, and so dense that it was impossible to force a way through, while the willows grew to tree sizes, and it was possible to walk along the branches. Some of the trunks of the latter were fully a foot and a half through. V'nes grew to a length of about sixty feet and nettles and ferns were both of unusual height. Another peculiar feature was that the valley was free from frost in the winter because of the action of the boiling springs and the consequent vapor. 1m jjunuui uiiiuriiti urpusna w ?n u ui?covered by Mr. Perry, including gold, silver and copper.

Now that the railroad executives have rejected a perfectly fair proposal, it would seem that Mr. Harding' would have a perfect right to get mad. Indeed he appears- to be where patience has ceased to be a virtue. On the reading of the government condition report on the Js'ew Orleans exchange last Tuesday, cotton jumped $8.50 a bale to the very discomfort of the bears who have bec-n trying to hold back the flood. Just what the outcome of the coal situation is going to be of course it is impossible to predict with certainty; hut thn wise neoDle of the country will do well to look out for a supply of firewood in case they are unable to get coal. In the re-nomination of Senator Reed regardless of the bitter personal opposition of former President Wilson during the past several years the j Democrats of Missouri Jiave put the world on notice that they "have been shown." Some of'the newspapers that formerly fought Cole Rlease on the ground of his alleged bitterness, now seem all the more concerned because of his mildness. The Columbia Record warns its readers that the former governor is the "same old Blease," in WMcn tne itecoru is tviucmij luncvi. We are looking forward to the government's plan for coal distribution with some hope; but not with a great deal of confidence. As we see it the coal operators have things pretty well "sewed up." They have all along been profiteers of the most pronounced kind. It is common to hear people express the fear that farmers who have taken up the boll weevil fight will get tired of it before the end and .give it up. This may happen in some instances; but it will be the exception rather than the rule. Most i>eople understand that if a fight like this is not continued to the end, it would be just as well if it had not been commenced. It is announced that if the shop men's strike is not settled within thirty days, the Big Four brotherhoods will go out. It seems to be a case of necessity. The condition of the rolling stock has deteriorated so much thai it has become dangerous end the people who belong to the Big Four unions cannot afford to take the risks any longer. Even the Columbia Record is poking fun at the Columbia State for its pussyfoot methods of lighting Mr. Blease. But the Record should remember as how people learn by experience. When the Columbia State feels inclined to yield to the temptation to "get rough," it is generally cured by visions of its famous buzzard cartoon in 1910. Otherwise, it would probably give more vigorous support to Mr. Duncan. Of course the people of Lancaster cannot make 'cm take down the Waxhaw monument marking the place where Andrew Jackson was not horn; but they can erect a monument in Lancaster county where hi' was born. Although Congressman Stevenson has . . - . I proven very conclusively ic.ai .iocksou was born in l^mcaster county, unless something definite is none about markin: the spot the lake spot will eventually come to be recognize.I as the real spot. But while the Lancaster people should start the movement to mark the true spot, they should not be expected to provide for all the expense. The issue is the truth of history, and the people ot the state should help. The leaders of the striking shopmen j have agreed to the acceptance of 1'res- 1 ident Harding's peace proposals; but the railroad executives, with the ex- j eeption of those of the Southern rail- ! way. have refused to accept. Th< Southern railroad has all along been , willing to continue under the old ar- ' rangemcnt; :t has employed no strike-1 breaker* and It baa made no promises to the men who declined to go out with the strikers. It has acted white all along and its willingness to accept the president's prosposals is in keeping with this same attitude. What will be the next step in the matter remains to be seen; but in the meantime it would seem that it is the shopmen who are entitled to the most consideration on the part of the suffering public. The Citadel at Charleston, has loomed up an important issue in the state campaign. During the past few years the appropriations for the hew Citadel plant have loomed up to tremendous proportions. At the present time the Citadel is debtor to the state to an aggregate of something over one million dollars. It is understood that a large part of this is to be paid back out of the proceeds of the old Citadel property; but past experience is that undertakings of this kind rarely materialize. According to the ambitious plans which are now under way, the Citadel folks are not only going to require all the money that has been di| rectly appropriated along with the money that has been borrowed; but some more after that. Indeed the state has. already given to the Citadel for building purposes more than bian it has ever given to Winthrop. Winthrop has had more for building purposes to be sure; but it has not had so much from the state. The State Campaign. It is not uncommon to hear people express impo.tience at the state campaign, and dechire how much better satisfied they would be if they did not have to submit to the annoyance of such things. To be perfectly frank about it, a state campaign does involve a good deal of mental worry and discomfort to the people who give their attention to it and follow it up. Hard thinking over matters political is not an easy matter by any means. It is about as difficult' and trying employment as one can well conceive of. But when one stops to think of what is Involved in the matter and what r.ni.'o Hutv l?i he cannot easilv cet the consent of his conscience to leave the responsibility to others while he takes things easy. Self-government means government by individuals, to whom authority must be delegated, by the people to be governed. Hvery citizen is entitled to a nay in the selection of the people who are to be invested with governing power and authority, and while there are many who have but small relish for such responsibility, it is a self-evident fact that dominance in the government will go to those who come nearest to the acceptance and discharge of their duty. People who have tho headache over the idea of interesting themselves in such a tiresome thing as politics can expect nothing better than being goverued by the to them "stupid" people who show more interest. It is the right of every citizen to lUKf it llclUU 111 lilt' iiiuuoiiij, vi viuttio and those who fail to exercise that light should hive no complaint as to the kind of officers chosen. Even if they do complain it will make but small difference, because active, upond-doing, go-ahead people who run things will pay no attention to them. I I 1 The Seniority Rule. The rail executives are basing their refusal to accept the president's recommendations for the settlement of the shopmen's strike on the ground of tho injustice it would be to the men who have remained faithful to them in the crisis, etc. Also these executives try to claim that tiiey are seeking to protect the public. Both propositions are reasonable and justifiable enough; but the trouble is that they are of doubtful sincerity. The great bulk of the shopmen are union men, at\d it is a notorious fact that union workmen in any line are the best workmen. The men about whom the rail executives talk about protecting are for the most part men who went back on their obligations to the union for the purpose of bettering themselves at the expense of those to whom they had sworn to be faithful, and men who had not been allowed in the union because of incompetency. When the strike came on, the classes referred to got into regular work and good pay, which work they could not have gotten on a basis of real eflicicnev in comnnrison with other men. Those men were employed by the railroads not because of their cftlci'-ncy; but out of a desire to whip the fight. If the rail executives had cared anything about the public, which means the retail merchant, the tinker, the pardoner, the preacher, the doctor and the farmer, they would not have sought to reduce the pay of the shopmen who have a community of interest with those other classes. What the rail executives are trying to do is to break up tlie unions, so they can make slaves of all the men, including not only those who went out; but those who took the places of those who went out. The rail executives are not concern c?l about the public, nor are they concerned about the living standards to which the shopmen have a right; they are concerned first about salaries, and second nbout dividends, and they are foolish enough to think that increased salaries and dividends may be coined out of the sweat and blood of labor, the more especially if labor can only be disorganized. , t' A New York specialist on mental and moral disease, declares that "smoking for a woman is a sign of degeneration.

The government report placed the condition of the York county cotton crop at 67 on July 25 against 66 on Juno 25. The attendance on the state campaign meeting at Confederate Park, Itock Hill, last Tuesday night, was largest In the state up to that time; but there was a much larger crowd at Filbert on Wednesday. The Confederate park crowd was made up principally of Rock Hill people; but all parts of the county were well represented. Mr. Kelly Inman, of Bullock's Creek, lias told the negroes on his place that if they do their full duty with regard to the boll weevil, he is going to give , them a big barbecue after the fight is over. The barbecue is not altogether dependent upon the results to the bull weevil; but upon the faithfulness with which the men who are interested work. That is the right way to go at the thing. This boll weevil fight is a big thing nnd there must be complete cooperation all along the line. Of course Jennings K. Owens will not get all the York county votes for lieutenant governor; but he will get lots of them. Jennings was born in Rock Hill, and largely "ducated in , Yorkville, and the hundreds of York county people who know him are satisfied that he is as worthy of the honor i to which he aspires as is any man in the race. Mr. Owens has been making a good record in the legislature, as a representative not only of his adopted county of Marlboro but of the whole state, ana ne is going 10 get me oukport of most interested citizens who , have been keeping up with his record. I have been about quite a lot and I have talked to people who have been about more than I have, remarked Mr. W. M. McConnell yesterday, and I am quite persuaded that York county farmers are making1 a little better tight than the farmers of any county in the cotton belt have made heretofore on the first coming of the weevils. Of course the farmers are now fighting well over the whole cotton belt where the weevil has been; but what I mean is that our York county farmers have been more prompt to get down to business at once promptly bringing to bear all the best knowledge and ex perience of the past- thirty years.

HOUSE STILLS TAKEN. into the hands of officers operating: in Catawba township, about sevdn miles e.\st of Rock Hill yesterday. One outfit was found in the home of Will Sloop, a white farmer and the other was found In the smoke house on the [ remises of Dan O.oins, white. (Joins was placed under arrest, but Sloop managed to get. away, leaving his mule and plow in the field. About a gallon of liquor was found in a barn on Sloop's place and three barrels of beer were found hidden under a wood pile. A barrel of beer was found in the smoke hob so at (Join's place. Moth stills wore taken complete? cap, worm and all. One was of about 15 gallons capacity and the other of about 10 gallons. It was evident from the surroundings that both, stills had been doing business for quite a while. HURT BY HAIL. Crops of farmers living west of Yorkvillc suffered considerable damage on account of a hail storm which came shortly after 7 o'clock last evening. The storm extended over an area about two and one-half miles wide and some ten miles long, crops of farmers living as far as j'icdinont springs being in the territory struck by the storm. Farmers in the h;iil nren, who were in Yorkville this morning, said that somr of the hail stones were as large as the end of a man's thumb and that the stones fell thick end fast for n couple of minutes. The hall was quite severe in Yorkville also, and gardens (his morning gave evidence of a severe heat ins? by hail stones, farmers said this morning1 that it was impractical to tell just how great the damage was, hut that there was no question of its severity. Some of them showed stalks of cotton and corn that were literally reduced to shreds. Among the farmers whose crops seem to have suffered the greatest damage were the following: .1. 11. Mexico. K. It. Shannon, .1. M. Mrice. James 1Feemster, John T. Feemster, M. A. McFurland. \V. T. Galloway. Dr. W. <5. White, W. IWilliams, W. R. Gordon. Will Russell, Lesslie and Joe Feemster, W. W. Ferguson, B. B.

Housed from its moribund lethargy by the demand of the. palates of thousands of smokers, the iive-cent cigar is back with its multi-colored banners streaming. In shop windows and on cigar counters everywhere the nickel smoke product, which disappeared back in war days, is being displayed in a profusion of shapes and varieties, while gigantic bill board advertisements are sending forth their message of this return to normalacy in the tobacco world. "What the' country needs- most is a good five cent cigar." is a remark attributed to Mark Twain. And those smokers, who saw the one time five cent brands mount to six, .seven, eight and sometimes ten cents, during the period of scaring prices, now have plenty to select from. Tobacco merchants, cigar wholesalers and tobacconists all .admit that the live cent cigar is the fastest moving arucie in ine iruue uui uiey n.niiK"'*' as to its merits. Retail dealers are inclined to the belief it is as Rood as anj i f the old brands which climb" d during the war. Tobacco merchants say it can't be as good as the old stand by because the cost of materials and labor is still above the old level and manufactuers say it isn't as good as the nickle favorite of pre-war days. "We can't got enough five cent rigaru" said a salesman in a tobacco shop. "We have pretty good cigars at that price now, however, and my customers buy so many I keep the boxes on the counter. If I put thern in the case I would be busy hauling them out and returning them. The two for a quarter is done for, in my opinion. The public wants live cents for every day and ten cents for Sunday." BY THE WAY The cotton caterpillar is doing great damage to the cotton crop in the southwest. Hon. J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president of the American Cot lull iiunni.iai.iuii, niiuiT. "While I was writing this letter to you I have received a telegram from Or. Coad, in charge of the Delta laboratories at Tallulah, La., in which lie informs me that they have an invasion of the cotton catterpillar t! roughout Texas and Louisiana and extending into Arkansas and Mississippi. This is an abnormally early date and indicates the possibility of very serious ('amage. He informs me I hat there is not enough calcium arsenate or poison of any kind available in this country to treat more than a small proportion of the cotton area which is infested with the boll weevil, to say nothing of a sufficient quantity to cope with the inroads of the cotton catterpillar. The calcium arsenate in America, available at tl is time, is insufficient to treat half the lands planted in cotton I in South Carolina alone. This Is indeed a serious problem." "I noticed a lot of automobile driv crs sit Filbert," remarked State Senator Hsirt yesterday, "who were speedin?: silong with the cut-nuts of their smtoinoliiles wide open. There sire si lot of people who are not aware of the fact that there now exists si stsite law against operating .automobiles along any of the ld;rhw:iys of the stsite with the cut-outs open.
