. . . Jpmp?nA : ' g :?. : ... ? The Rev. Dr. S. D. McConnrll, Protdstant Episcopalian, according to Arthur- Brisbane, writes a book tearing the Christian religion and its beliefs to pieces. .He denies the Divinity <*T Christ, says miracles never happened, and that the Holy Communion was '(originally a cannibal feast." Dr. McCorinell, not content to deny miracles, says they ought not to happen; that ft's unfair for angfls to kill a dozen tginoccnt soldiers that never heard the tame of Peter or His master, to get jgeter out of jail. Once Dr. McConnell Would have been burned alive for such iftatentgnts. Now he will make money 0Ut or a DOUK. IUU may ?i?y nuav please ndw about tho Divinity?anybody's divinity^ -But we put people in Jail for criticizing the government. Fashions change. t-The Italian government is undering a process of re-organization by force. For quite a while a strong military party known as the Facisti has ^een mobolizing against the Socialist jfovernment headed by Premier Facta. The activities of the socialists had ty-ought "things to a rather dangerous pass, and the impatience of the opposition had reached, a point where it was ready to break into bloodshed. In fact, U is stated that tho organization included more than 800,000 voters mostly under military leaders, and tbj cabinet was served with an ultimatum, the etfcct of which was that it must cither got down and out or take the consequences. Premier Facta tendered his resignation last Friday, and although the king asked him to remain in office for the purpose of looking after routine matters until a new government could be organized the understanding was that this new government is to be organized by the Facisti. Among the issties disturbing the country* arc relations with Jugo-Slavia and agreement , On the status of Fiume, a large element * of the Italians never yet having become reconciled to the idea of recognizing Fiume as a free state.

The average rate of wages of male farm labor for the United State*. October 1, was $28.95 a month with board, according to the first of a regular series of quarterly reports from 1,300 county crop reports to the department of agriculture. The average rate for the year 1921, was $30.14. By the month without board the average October 1, was $41.58, compared with $43.32, the average for 1921. Day W&g?to with board October 1, was $1.57, compared with $1.68 last year and day wages without board was $2.08 cammed with Wai.^Qf thg 1,300 reports, 36 per Cent, stated that the hjfcor supply exceeded the demand at Cujfrcnt wages, 33 per cent, stated that tlia demand exceeded the supply, and 31 Der cent, reported an even balance. jgxcess of "supply was stated to be most pronounced in Georgia, Florida, lfekas, Oklahoma.

Great Britain, France and Italy all are understood to have subscribed U the invitation and it lias b"e?*i intended that officials of the British, Fre ich and Italian embassies sbrnild go to the department together ana lay the note before Secretary iX.,.,u ,lr>lny X4Ufe"t-~a* * ?l? ?uo vwuivmo V4 hdwever, mate it appear doubtful whether the presentation would take place before Saturday. Meantime J American officials continued their silence regarding the proposal for American representation at Lausanne, but the impression prevailed that only an official observer would be sent. Primarily, the conference is? regarded in Washington as an effort to settle differences between belligerent governments resulting from a war which the United States was not a party. The American observer, however, would be in a position to keep the"United States informed as to developments relating to the freedom of the Dardanelles and the'protection of racial minorities. ? Another Episcopal clergyman figuring in a scandalous double tragedy. Rev. Leonard Jacob Kistlor and Mrs. Margaret Carleton were killed in Mr. KistlerVt home in Havre, Montana, last Friday morning. According to Mrs. I - ^ . ..... j Kisuer, wno claims to nave wnnesscu the tragedy, Mrs. Carlton first shot Mr. Kistler and then herself. Both were shot through the heart and died instantly. There are those however, who think it possible that the shooting was. done by Mrs. Kistler. Mrs. Carl i * toa: had a living husband with whom she was not living. She had been mor^ or less intimately associated with Rey. Kistler in church work for quite a while, and there had been rumors about them. . The rumors were investigated by the bishop; but the investigation does not appear to have beeh pushed to a conclusion. For some months Mrs. Carlton had been on a chatjtauqusi circuit and had just ret turned to Havre where she was putting up at a hotel. Assisted by a visiting clergyman. Rector Kistler held church services Thursday night. Rev. Kistler an$fiis visitor and several friends went to a' cafe after the service and Mrs. Kistler went to her home, where she said she found Mrs. Carlton engaged in tcar&g up photographs, letters and othei' papers. Mrs. Carlton appeared ?r- : > : . ,. - I ? f to be in a highly excited state of mind and Mrs. Kistlor did what she could to quiet hex-, until they finally left the house .together. Then Mrs. Kistlcr joined the party at the cafe and remained there until neai-ly midnight when she returned home with her husband. The chief of police says he saw Mrs. Carlton standing on the street outside the restaurant during the progress of the supper. Shortly after the Kistlers got home, Mrs. Carlton came in again and all three engaged in common place for about an hour, when Mrs. Cai-lton started to leave and Mr. Kistler started to see her out the door. Without warning Mrs. Carlton shot Kistler through the heart, and pointed hr revolver at Mrs. Kistlcr, but for some reason did not fire, in-* 1 ?...?!??

Mrs. Carlton is known to have' been the owner of a smaller revolver; but nobody seems to know where she got the larger pistol with which the shooting was done. Mrs. Kistler is a niece of United States Senator Wadsworth. Mrs. Carlton had the reputation of being the prettiest woman in Montana. Mr. Kistler was known as the "ltishop of all out Doors," because of the efficiency and success with which he covered his large field. (The \tmhviUc tfnquiwt. Entered at the Postofflce at "York, as Mail Matter of the Second Class. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31. 1922. The state highway commission is interested in the establishment of a motor number filing system similar to that of the state of Georgia and several other states. The motor number filing system has already' resulted in the recovery of a number of stolen cars, and it is believed that after all the states have adopted it, the eventual recovery of all stolen cars will be practically certain. Most Americans who have a more of less superficial knowledge of the conditions to be affected by the Lausanne peace conference naturally have nreferences as to what should be'done there. Some think they would like to see the imposition of conditions that would keep the Turks out of Europe and restore the Greeks to Thrace; but since we are leaving it altogether for the other powers to do it, it would seem to m&ke but little difference what we want 'erf liou'i waul. Unless v.T are willing to participate in the peace conference and there say what we would like to have done, there is nothing to do but just look on. That question as to whether the gov> "nor has the right to revoke a parole for the violation of the conditions thereof seems to involve the point <;>f where the authority of the executive ends and the authority of t' e judiciary begins. And while the constitution is very clear on the proposition that it is the business of the court to impose the law and the governor to enforce the same and that the powers of both shall forever be distinct and separate, there is no doubt of the fact that there is a good deal of conflict. It is not uncommon for the courts to usurp executive authority, and all experience is that such authority once usurped is seldom turned loose. As wo see it, when a convict accepts the conditions of a parole, it is up to him to abide by those conditions and just what the courts have to do with it, we cannot fully understand. Italy has for quite a while been in a condition bordering on civil war, and it is possible that war may break out. Communism and Socialism are the issues. Socialism seems to have been carried to a point where business and industry arc at a standstill. Workmen generally appear to be unwilling to work on terms with which the public can comply, it has been the understanding for quite a while that the Itussinn government has been furnishing money to the Socialist leaders, and with this money workmen have been able to lay down on the job. For instance in a number of cities the bakers are on strike and as the people cannot meet xneir terms ine\ smipiy will not work, and there is no bread. That is why the l-'acisti has come into being, to break uj> the sabotage or organized labor. The leader of the Facisti is Henito Mussolini editor of II I'opolo, and held by-many to be the strongest man in Italy. After the Communists had succeeded in bringing an industrial tie-up in the city of Turin, tlje greatest manufacturing centre of Italy some months ago, Mussolini, unable to get entrance otherwise, flew in on an airplane, got in touch with the war veterans and Conservative elements, and in a few days he had the ! industrial machinery of the city functioning in first class shape, thus smashing a deliberate plan for the establishment of Bolshevism. In the j same manner he lias gotten together ! nearly a million followers, and it.was by his orders that the So< lalist cab- j inet stepped down and out a few days j ago. His political platform Is com- i prehcudcd In the idea that it was nee- ' essary for Italy to intervene ia the World War; that the- victory was trc- I mendous; that Italy has a world mission and that Bolshevism shall n?t be allowed to interfere with that mission. > There arc those who say that Mtisso- ' lini holds Italy in the heart of his hnnd and he can do with it what ho will. That provision of the constitution of the state which opens a way for the appointment of special judges where duly elected and qualified judges are not available is wise and proper; but in its effort to put that provision into effect, it seems to us that the general assembly made a had slip up. The statutory provision is that special judges are to be appointed by the governor on recommendation of tiie chief justice of the supreme court. Theoretically tho chief justice of the supreme court is in a better position to select the most suitable man with the necessary character and ability. But there is something else to the. proposition beyond that. Under, the constitution the supreme court is not supposed to have discretionary authority or power over the governor. The governor is supreme in such matters. In the recommendation of special judges the chief justice frequently acts on the suggestion of a local bar or an individual member of that bar, and from time to time that individual member makes his suggestion on a basis of personal favor rather than on a basis of the character and ability of the person recommended. There have been appointments of this kind that have caused widespread astonishment, not to say disgust. In the eyes of the public the governor is responsible, notwithstanding tne fact that under the statute he is compelled to issue a commission to whomsoever the chief justice says. We believe this statute should be amended so as to put the entire responsibility of special judges eitner on tno cnier justice or mc governor. As it stands now we believe it is unconstitutional and we lulievc the governor would be justified in refusing to be bound by it. ?

Fire of unknown origin caused a heavy loss Sunday, when the warehouse on Miss Iiuth lTyor's farm, four miles west of Chester, was destroyed. About 1.S00 bales of hay belonging to Dr. It. II. McFadden was destroyed, with no insurance. A large lot of cotton seed was burned belonging to Miss Pryor, S. W. Pryor, Mrs. M. L. Marion and Mrs. M. Steinbach, with no insurance, ^.good deal of fertilizer and farm implements of Miss Pryor was bufn'd with no insurance an the tools, though she had some insurance on the warehouse, which was one of the best in this section, being of sheet iron construction, the heat was so intense it was melted and badly damaged. The lire raged for several nour.s\ ity means of a nucket brigade formed by employes, some cotton seed was saved. The building is a complete wreck. It was built by the late Dr. S. \V.

Mrs. Jane Gibson continues in the white light in connection with the interest centering on the Hall-Mills murder case at New lirUnswick, New Jersey. State Prosecutor Mott credits her story; hut has not allowed her to talk to tiie newspaper k porters any more than could he helped. As the result, garbeled versions of her story have been sent out and the straight of it has not come yet; buf according to the way the matter now stands, it is about like this. While hunting the corn thieves on mule back. Mis. Gibson lost one of her moccasins. She saw the killing previously described, later while looking for the moccasin and when she saw the killing she retreated. Later it occurred to her that if some one else found her moccasin she might he connected with the murder, and at about 2 o'clock she went again in search of the missing footwear. It was then that she saw Mrs. Hall arranging her dead husband's cravat and glasses. She is positive of the identity of Mrs. llall; but has not yet identified the man who did the killing and does not know whether he was a white man or negro. Mrs. Gibson has let it be known that she has received an anonymous letter advising her that there is still another bullet in the pistol with which Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills wore killed. The newspapers have learned that Mrs. Gibson has been living on her farm for about 17 years. She is not inclined to tell much about herself, except she claims to be the daugbtei of a Kentucky Confederate veteran; that after graduating from a reputable female college she became a circus ridera nd later married a clergyman. But that is all she would tell, except what is commonly known that nhn li.'is lioen livini' mii fnrm !?11 thc.se yours, raising and selling pigs and mules, with the help of her twenty-year old son. She is represented as fully sustaining the part she has ass.unied, using good English in her conversation and showing full familiarity with legal and social procedure and customs far beyond her assumed station. So far as public knowledge goes her reputation is good. It is said that site kept her own council about the whole matter until after there developed efforts to put the crime on innocent parties and then she began to talk: but it was not until the matter got into the hands of Stale Prosecutor ilott that her story received serious consideration.

Although it will probably be next spring before the Boyd's Kerry bridge is open for traffic, the.contractors ere making very good headway. As the structure stands at this time, practically all of the steel work has been completed with the exception of the 300-foot span across the stream proper. The approaches extend altogether over more than a thousand feet. According to speedometer measurement the bridge is just eighteen miles from the courthouse at Yorkville, and sign posts up near the river put Charlotte at 15 miles, making a distance of 33 miles between the two points. Hut before there can be any considerable travel over the bridge there must be some extensive improvement in the roads on this side of the river. The recently completed link of one and a half miles from the Ridge road just east of Bethel chapel, is very good:?a first-class sand-clay road, in fact; but that is about all the good road there is for the next five miles in any direction on the York side of the river. Just at the present time, the .Ridgc road from the North and South road at Bowling Green is pasasble; but there are parts of it that will he badly cut up ns soon as the winter rains set in and automobile traffic will be bad. A wonderful structure will be the bridge when it is finished, a great double track way over a wide expanse of bottom, and up above the high water mark of 1916, it looks as if it should stand for all time, and it is evident that when the roads on the York side are put in shape this route between points in York and Mecklenburg counties will become a great artery of traffic. PUNTS AND PASSES Lancaster High was easy meat for Rock Hill Iligh in a game at Rock Hill, Friday afternoon, the "Bear Cats" winning by a score of 41 to 0. After the first quarter the "Bear Cats" used only second string players since it was seen that Lancaster was easy. Winthrop Training School having showed the white feather and refused to play Chester High as scheduled, most of tiie Chester players went to Rock Hill to see the "flood Town" team mop up with Lancaster. It is said that the Chester boys rooted most loyally for Lancaster which was to be expected. A number of the Chester boys, it. is said, had their note books with them for the purpose of taking "dots" on Rock Hill; but they could put all the dope they got on a square inch of paper since Rock Hill wasn't putting out anything. Carolina beat Clemson at 1 lie state lair in t'oiumtna 111 i?su uy inu wmr score and on the same play that Clemson beat them on last Thursday, the score being 3 to 0. Tatum tlressette, now coaching Yorkville high, was the lad who beat Clemson two years ago. The Yorkville-Lancaster High tfamo which resulted in a row last Friday a week ago, the locals walking off the Lancaster Held on the claim that the referee wasn't toting fair, will probably be played over again. A kick was ' registered with officials of the Catawba Athletic association about it and also opinions were submitted from several football authorities stating that Yorkville was right. Lancaster had the big end of a to 0 score when Yorkville quit. Yorkville will play Hock I fill High here next* Friday and will doubtless be soundly trounced. However, the locals will stay right in there and work until the last. There is no danger of their laying down and refusing to tight as Winthrop Training school did with Chester last Friday. Worth Youngbl-ood, star player for Yorkville is still out of the game, suffering from injuries received in the game against Fort .Mill several weens ago. According to Coac h Logan of Rock Hill who is familiar with the .locals, the absence of Voungblood decreases the strength of Yorkville about twenty-five per cent. Floyd AVray of Yorkville who plays an end with the Ch mson team and who was in the thick of the light in the Carolina game last Thursday spent a couple of days at his home hen following the* game, lie had several black and blue places on his face, "souvenirs" of tin* battle at the state fair. Hut of course the boy wouldn't even admit that the bruises were sore. | Most of the observers are agreed that the Hook Hill-Chester game November 10, is to be a nip and tuck affair. Hundreds of football fans of York and Chester counties will be in Rock lli'.l for that game. A story is | that so*no lloek Hill folks have told Coach Logan that if he beats Chester he can have anything lie wants iu Rock Hill, from a Job as mayor on' down. And if his "Iiear Cats" lose? i well, there will he hundreds of sore people in Hock Hill. Chester High is cocksure she is going to beat Iiock 1 Hill?so there you are. Neither teum has lost a game this season. BAPTIST HOME COMING DAY 1 "Homo Coming Day" for the mem- ' i hers of the Baptist church of Clover j which was observed last Sunday drew J scores of members of the church who | have since moved away from Clover j as well as practically every member of j the congregation living in Clover at j the present, time. Exercises of the day were especially interesting and at- j tractive to the largo congregations present for the occasion. Shortly after noon a basket dinner was served on the grounds and there was plenty for all and to Spare. An interesting feature of the day's exercises was an address by the Ho' V. A Homriek. in which he reviewed the history of the Clover Raptist ohurch which was organized thirty-two years ago. In the course of his address Rev. Mr. Hemriek mentioned the fact not generally known that the Clover Eaptist church was organized in the First Presbyterian church of Clover with twenty-four members May 25, 1890. Speaking of the organization Pastor Hemriek said: Credit Due L. A. Allen, "in the beginning of the town of Clover thero was no Rapt is t church, the nearest being Enon some 12 or 14 miles away, Yorkville, 10 miles away and Union some 7 miles distant. There were several Raptist families living in and around Clover, however and the great desire of their hearts and souls was to get together and organize a Missionary Raptist church. A Sunday School was organized not very far from the little town by the brethren of the different denominations. This - anhnnl .1,1.1 lull tin Wit? it UUiUlI PUIIUU.T ov. * iuu. ui.u > ? >? it was good so far as it went, it did not begin to satisfy the Baptist brethren. They wanted to teach to their children the truth of God as they saw and believed it. Brother L. A. Allen as Dr. T. M. Bailey said, was so persistent that he appointed himself a delegation to every association meeting. His purpose was laudable for it was with a heart beating with care and strong desire that the Gospel be preached in Clover as Baptists believe it that compelled him to go to these associations every year and beg Dr. Bailey and the executive board of the association together with the . state board to send a Baptist to Clover. Dr. Bailey at last heard the cry of this brother as he brought requests, from other brethren and. sent to the field at Clover Rev. V. I. Masters who preached the Word and brought together twenty-four Baptists who being dismissed from other Baptist churches by letter these were later organized into the First Baptist church of plover. "A meeting was held in' the little school house standing about where the cotton platform of Mr. Will Smith now stands. The preaching was good and the crowds grew until the little school house overflowed and then the Presbyterians opened their church to the brethren and the meeting went on with good results. At the close of this meeting these twenty-four already mentioned with Dr. liailey as moderator of their conference were organized into a Missionary Baptist church of Jesus Christ. Masters First Pastor. Rev*. V. I. Masters, D. D., now editor of the Western Recorder, our Baptist paper at J<ouisville, Ky., was the first pastor of Clover Baptist church. Contributions given the first year for all purposes were $39.10." Speaking of the need for a new house of worship for Clover which the congregation decided some time ago to build and to discuss the plans for which the "Home Coming Day" exercises were nlanned Sudav. Rev. Hem rick said: "In the erection of this present house of worship which was done by the little hand of thirty-two years ago they did the very best that they could. And at the time it was a credit to the neighborhood but that time and day has passed away and we are now called upon to build as the day and time demand. We must build not only for the pleasure and contentment of those who come to hear the word of God; but we are compelled to build a house in which we can most successfully teach the Word of God in our Sunday school. We could even now with our enrollment occupy ten or eleven class rooms and then not have too much room. Why even our colored brethren in this community have a better looking house in which to worship the Lord than we have. Not only should we' have church pride but we should also have civic pride and i believe that the Haptists of this little city have not only church pride but civic pride. I want our town to grow not only in numbers but 1 want it to grow beautiful." Committees Named. Appointment of the following1 committees in connection with the movement to build the new First Baptist church of Clover was announced as follows: Finance?T. B. Moore, chairman: J. C.

This road, according to Mr. Black, is in bad shape and it serves a large number of people who think that something should be done to put It in good shape. A chicken peddler carrying'on his flivver a coop in which there were twenty fryers sought to turn into an alley off West Liberty street yesterday afternoon. The coop struck a tree is the cur turned and the fryers were given their liberty. The peddler had a lovely time of it for more than an hour trying to catch all of his liberated fowls and Anally gave it up after retaking most of them. i ne now xot Kviiic mgn scnooi nuuuing now in course fit construction at a cost of about $1)0,000 will not be ready for occupancy before January 1, according to a statement of Superintend-, ont of Schools E.

It was thought for a time that the building would be completed by December 1; but delays unexpected have boon met with in securing building supplies and furnishings and it now appears tha.. the building which will be the largest of its kind in the Piedmont section .of the state will not be completed before the drat of the year. Tourists from the north and cast going to Florida for the winter arc coming through Yorkvillc and this section of the country on their southward journey this year, according to J. H.

One or two tourist cars a' day have been observed in Yorkville during tho past several days, according to Mr. Carroll. > 1 i There's a big row brewing In the Catawba High School Athletic Association, it was learned last night and a smouldering volcano is likely to erupt any minute. Probably it will erupt along about Friday when Yorkville High and Rock Hill High are scheduled to play football here. Other schools in the association are complaining more or less about Chester and Rock Hill. The charge is going the rounds that both football fparns irclude several "ringers" or boys who are reully not eligible to play high school football. Under the rules of the association, a player must be in school taking at least four studies for a period of forty minutes a day each. He must be under 21 years of age and he must have enrolled as a student thirty days before the football season opens. According to some of the high school students. Rock Hill and Chester are not living strictly up to the rules. Two of the members of the Rock Hill team, it is charged, were formerly enlisted in the United States navy. One fellow, it is claimed, has a Job with an express company in Rock Hill and is being paid to go to school and piny football. Another player and a peach he is, by the way, is a Fort Mill lad who was brought to school in Rock Hill this fall just to play football. It is charged that Rock Hill students are taking turn about boarding him in their respective homes and he is being paid good money to play football. This man, it is claimed, is a professional athlete and an ex-soldier who tried to land a berth on the baseball team of the Charlotte club of the South Atlantic League last summer. And he Is bound to be more than 21 years of age, is the claim. The story is that Chester is equally guilty. It is claimed that one member of the team was brought to Chester from Great Falls just to play football. Another star player on the Chester team is a married n:an, it is claimed, who really has no right to play high school football and there, are two or three others whose eligibility is questioned. E. A. Montgomery, superintendent of the Vorkville school said yesterday that he had informed R. C. Hurts, superintendent of the Rock Hill school that proofs of eligibility of each ftock Hill ' player would have to be sumbitted him before the game here Friday. Mr. Montgomery said that Player Douglass Nims of Rock Hill would .not be allowed to play against the locals under any circumstances. So much for that. The "big two" in the Catawba Association this year are Rock Hill High and Chester High. The "dope" here is that when the two elevens meet in Rock Hill on November 10, nothing will be said about eligibility because both are guilty of playing "ringers." The biir idea with each team or rather each town, is to beat the other and. contracts, rules or regulations of the association are merely scraps of paper. Hut Fort Mill Is sore about it. Yorkviile is sore about it and so are other schools in the association. The result of it all may be the dissolution of the Catawba High School Athletic Association. WITHIN THE TOWN. ? A meeting of Hethel Presbytery was held in the First Presbyterian church here today to receive the report of a committee recently appointed to investigate Rev. E. A. Miller, former oastor of Liberty Hill church who is charged with immoral conduct. ? Voters of Ward 3 are today electing a councilman for that ward to* succeed J. W. Marshall, resigned. Tho
