The Allies have notified Turkey
that unless th^ Turkish force at
Medina lays down Its arms Immediately
the forts at the Dardanelles
will be destroyed. The Turks have
shbwn an unwillingness to surrender
in accordance with the armistice
terms, but all the garrisons except
that at Medina, which is the largest
in Arabia, laid down their arms
through peaceful persuasion. Fakhri
Pasha, commander at Medina, offered
one excuse after an'other until the
Allies were forced to send an ultimatum
to the Turkish Government.
Buenos Aires has been in a foment
for some days because of troubles
growing out of a strike of metal workers.
The workers of the Vasena Iron
works struck on Tuesday of last week.
The government interfered with rorce.
Five strikers were killed and thirty or
more were injured. Immediately all
the workers In the tpore than fifty
branches of trade, including more than
100,000 men, went on a strike and all
kinds of traflc was quickly brought to
a standstill. Street cars stopped and
even automobiles were overturned by
the wreckers. There have been a number
of clashes between the workers and
the soldiers, and the situation has
grown to be exceedingly serious,
amounting to something Close to civil
war.
Capt Edward V. Rickenbacher of
Columbus, Ohio, once famous as an
automobile driver, was the premier
"ace" of the American air forces in
France, having 26 enemy planes to his
credit An official report received re- j
cently at the war department showed
that there were 63 "aces" men
downing five or more enemy machines
in the American army when the war
ehded. First Lieut Frank Luke, Jr.
of Phoenix, Ariz., who was killed in
action, was second on the list of'aces,"
with 18 victories to his credit, and
Maj. Victor Raoul Lufberry of Wall.
ingford, Conn., who also was killed in
action, was third, with 17. Before
joining the American army Major Lufherrv

Escadrllle. Capt. Peed G. Landis of
Chicago and First Lieut. David E. P.ut-I

? Several hundred Spartacans have
been killed in the capture and recapture
of the'Silesian railroad station by
government troops, according to late
advices from Berlin. The street fighting
at night was of the most violent
nature. Many bodies are lying in the
station building. The fighting in the
newspaper quarter lasted for hours.
Eighty were killed and many wounded.
Unter den Linden is in the hands of
government troops. The Spartacan
Tiorirn pfon hfl VP hfATl

captured by government troops and
the Tlergarten has been cleared of
Spartacans. The Second Guard Regiment
has retaken the Hallenze railway
station from the Spartacans. Ine
. latter attacked the station Fridaynight
but a guard of only 30 men repulsed
them. The station commands
one railway to Potsdam. These advices
which apparently have to do with
fighting on Friday night, state that)
five different collisions occurred in
Berlin throughout that day, in the
course of which very many were killed
or wounded- In street lighting
Thursday night before the chancellor's
palace the Spartacans attempted a
coup de main but the government
troops met them with a strong fire,
and 20 were killed and more than 40
wounded.
? Jacques LeEaudy, known as the
"Emperor of Sahara," was killed by
his wife from whom he had been separated
for some months, at her home,
"Phoenix Lodge," at Westbury, Long
Island, New York, last Saturday night.
The couple had been getting along
badly for quite a while, and since their
separation. Mrs. LeEaudy has been
having herself guarded night and day;
but her husband managed to elude the
guards and get in her home, and she
shot him live times with a revolver,
killing him instantly. Then she faint
ed. The empty revolver was iouna Dy
her side and a loaded revolver was
found in LeEaudy's fur overcoat- LeBaudy
has an established reputation
as an eccentric millionaire who has for
a number of years been in the international
lime light. Some years ago he
conceived the idea that he would like
to be an emperor and he undertook the
establishment of an empire in the desert
of Sahara. Having inherited many
w>illlnr?Q frnm hlfl father a. famous
French sugar king, he had no difficulty
in commanding all the money he
needed, and he began operations with
several hundred followers; but after a
short time, France, England, Italy and
Switzerland being opposed to the establishment
of any more sovereignties
brought about pressure that made the
self-made emperor renounce his
. throne. Madame LeBaudy, aged 38, is
a recognized leader of the social circles
in which she moves.
? Walker D. Hines, assistant director
general of railroads, was appointed director
general last Saturday by President
Wilson to succeed William G.
McAdoo. Notice of the appointment,
cabled to the White House by President
Wilson, reached Mr. McAdoo by
telegraph Friday night at Winslow,
Ariz., when the retiring director general
passed through that town on his
way to Los Angeles. Mr. McAdoo issued
the following statement: "The
President has authorized me to announce
the appointment of Walker D.
Hines as director general of railroads.
He will enter upon his duties of office
ilQin6Ql&l6iy' iUI. nuica nao ucvu
assistant at Washington since the beginning
of government control, and
has a thorough knowledge of organization
and administration of the railroads
under federal control as wen as
of the fundamental problem involved
in the railroad situation. His ability
and experience admirably fit him for
the great trust and responsibility with
which the President has honored him.
'-'J- v,ia nhvimis nualifications.
AB1UC 1IVIU iiio v- ? .w -
Mr. Hines is in full sympathy with the
policies which have guided the railroad
administration and with the |
views of the President on the railroad
question. I am sure that Mr. Hines
will have hearty support of the fine
army of railroad officers and employes
and I can ask nothing better for him
than that they shall give him and the
country the same loyal and effective
service they rendered during my term
as director general."
? Government troops have occupied
all 'the public buildings in Berlin,
and thousands of Government troops
are still entering the capital. The
Berlin correspondent of the Berlingske
Tidende, who sends this information,
declares that the Spartacans
have been beaten and that quiet was
partly restored. Bloody fighting occurred
at the Anhalt Railroad station
Wednesday night when Spartacan
groups tried to occupy the building,
according to Berlin advices received
by way of Frankfort. They wore repulsed
by Government troops, who inflicted
heavy losses on them. There
was lively shooting Wednesday forenoon
at many points, including the
Brandenburg Gate, which the government
forces had captured during the
night. Several persons were killed
or wounded. The troops of the Govv
ernment directed an incessant fire
from machine guns on the roof of
the Chancelor's palace In the direction
of Unter den Linden and WUhelmstrasse.
Later the firing- Increased In
Intensity, especially In the neighborhood
of the Brandenburg Gate, and
many more people were allied. Serious
Spartacus riots are going on at Dresden,
Brunswick, Dusseldorf, Essen
and Dortmund, according to the Munich
correspondent of the Politiken.
Several towns In the Rhur district
aro in the hands of the Sportacans.
During the rioting reported In Munich
Tuesday evening a mob of several
thousand persons attempted to
storm one of the largest Danas duii
was repulsed by machine guns, ac-1
i cording1 to a Munich despatch to the
Polltlken. The riots, the despatch
states, were promoted by the Spartacans.

Entered at the Postofflce at York as
Mall Matter of the Second Class
a
TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1919
If you do not feel that you are personally
responsible for the manner in
I whioh the eovernment is being con
ducted, you are not a good American.
The general assembly convenes today
with larger things to think abut
than It has had heretofore and let us
hope that the members will go to their
task in the light of what we should
have learned during the past four
years.
Thomas Watt Gregory, attorney general
of the United States, has resigned
from the cabinet and President Wilson
has accepted the resignation to take
effect March 4 next. The only reason
the attorney general gives for his resignation
is the necessity of looking after
his private affairs.
The legislative delegation will confer
a most practical benefit on the farmers
If they will provide a system under
which no cotton may be bought or sold
until after it has been officially weighed
and graded. The farmers are the
main losers by the lack of such a system,
and it is the duty of the legislature
to give them relief.
Resignations from the cabinet because
of the necessity of looking after
personal fortunes, suggest one of two
things, either that the pay is not sufficient
for a modest living or the position
furnishes tempting opportunities
that men of ordinary calibre cannot
withstand. .We are not altogether satisfied
as to which of these two things
furnishes the strongest consideration,
but somehow in the case of Mr. Gregory,
we suspect that it is a little of
both.
The people of York county want
good roads and they are willing to do
whatever is necessary to get good
roads. Of course they know that good
roads is not a Christmas-stocking proposition.
They understand that the only
way to get good roads is to build them
and that the building v in cost money.
The whole problem Is squarely up to
the legislative delegation. If that delegation
has the brains, and ability to
devise and establish a system that will
give good roads, the people of the
county will not only say well done, but
they will pay the bill without unreasonable
criticism. If the delegation is
unable to devise such a system, then it
should take the responsibility of its
own incapacity and not try to place the
blame on the people.
That proposition for the building of
a bridge over Catawba river at
Wright's ferry has been up for several
" " '? V. ( rrlt 41mA 4 V* a
yeura uuw aim n 10 *i*e>-* ??? ? %...
nite action be taken. Commercially
speaking, as we see it, Mecklenburg
stands for the greater Immediate benefit,
and for that reason should pay the
larger part of the cost. If the proposition
were soleiy a commercial one, we
would not advocate the building of the
bridge at all; but we shall certainly not
oppose it on commercial grounds, or on*
any other grounds. We think the
bridge should be built. The greater
commercial benefit will go to Charlotte
because Charlotte has the larger market;
but we do not really believe that
any York county trading point will be
hurt to any considerable extent, and
we believe also that e\en commercially
both York and Mecklenburg will
eventually be benefitted in excess of
any reasonable cost to either. There is
more to be considered, however, than
the mere commercial side of the question.
A bridge at Wright's will save
many miles of travel between most
points in York and Mecklenburg counties,
and be of much common benefit.
If the alleged offer of Mecklenburg to
pay two-thirds of the cost of the proposed
bridge is genuine, we are of
opinion that our legislative delegation
would make a Serious mistake to delay
any longer in closing the transaction.
Cannon for York County.
Nobody is going to dispute the proposition
that York county is entitled to
have a captured German cannon to be
mounted in the courthouse yard.
York county has been and is as well
represented in F.-ance in proportion to
population as any other county in the
United States.
Not only has York county been well
represented in France; but the men of
York through good fortune and by
their heroic courage have won undying
glory on every battlefield.
York county had the nucleus of
three full companies in the Thirtieth
Division and York men were in command
of companies and regimentsThe
Thirtieth division broke the
Hindenburg line that had withstood
the efforts of all the best troops of Europe
for four years, and no troops in
the whole division had a greater part
in that feat than York county troops.
Of course York county is entitled to
nave a capimcu ucnuan vomuv>< > mv.
courthouse yard. Indeed It would not
be too much if congress should give
her a whole battery of captured German
cannon, including that terrible
long range gun with which the Germans
bombarded Paris.
Health Sunday.?Dr. Rupert Blue
surgeon general of the public health
service, has asked the ministers of
i the country to set aside February 9
I as "health Sunday" and to preach
I sermons emphasizing the responsibility
of the nation to protect returning
soldiers and sailers and the community
at large and to inaugurate
vigorous measures for combatting social
deseases.
This proclamation by the surgeon
general has been sen. to all ministers
with the request that they read it
from their pulpits February 9.
"The government of the United
States is asking the churches of the
country to take an active part in
meeting a great national emergency.
"The war made it necessary for the
nation to face frankly and courageously
the menace of the venereal diseases.
Now the war Is over and the
period of demobilization has begun,
drastic measures must be taken to
prevent duriiyr this period' these conditions
in civilian life which made
these diseases the greatest cause of
disability in the army.
"In the army and navy a program
of law enforcement, medical measures,
education and provision for wholesome
recreation was adopted this program
brought results. The venereal
rate wan lowered helow that of anv
army of any nation in the history.of
the modern world. Now that the war
is over the cities and towns through
which the soldiers and sailors will go
and to which they will return upon
demobilization must be made as safe
as the camps from which they have
come."
As to the Price of Cotton Seed. W.
B. West, secretary of the South Carolina
Cotton Seed Crushers' association,
has issued the following statement
with reference to the standardization
of cotton seed prices:
"At the beginning of the crushing
season of 1918 the war industries
board fixed a price on cotton linters.
The food administration in fixing the
price for products and raw material,
and the differential for working cost
and profit therefore figured in a definite
amount for linters.
"The signing of the armistice made
the linters useless to the government
and it immediately sought to cancel
its contract. In the meantime, however,
oil mills and seed merchants had
bought up large quantities of seed and
the farmers had been advised by the
government to hold their seed off the
market until the mills could handle
them, that the price was stabilized for
the season. A committee from the
crushers was called to Washington,
and after a series of conferences lasting
for more than a month, reached a
compromise with the government that
so far as llntere are concerned practically
stabilized the market for seed
for the remainder of the year, thus
protecting holders of seed on their
purchases. The farmers, recognizing
their Interest In the matter, sent E.W.
Dabbs of Mayesvllle and Capt. J. H.
Claffy of Orangeburg to Washington
to represent their Interest. These
gentlemen, recognizing Immediately
the position the oil mills were in and
appreciating the stand they were
taking to protect their interest, aided
very materially In effecting the compromise
reached. Mr. Dabbs presented
the Interest of the farmers In the
stabilized program very forcibly and
?artainiv contributed much in bring
ing about the desired results."
Columbia January 10: Harry Lockller,
former flagman on the Southern
Railway, was acquitted yesterday on
the charge of manslaughter. The Jury
returned a verdict of not guilty after a
brief deliberation. The case was the
result of a wreck which occurred near
Frost Station on February 25, 1918.
Locklier was flagman on a train coming
from Greenville and it stopped for
repairs to a burstod air pipe. Train
No. 42 from Spartanburg crashed into
the rear end and telescoped a wooden
coach. Ten persons were killed out
right and four others aiea later irom
injuries received in the collision. The
engineer and conductor on train No.
42 testified that they did not hear any
torpedoes explode to" give warning.
Locklier claimed that he set the torpedoes
and went towaid his train when
the blow in signal was sounded.
The first session of the seventythird
general assembly will convene
Tuesday. Many matters of statewide
importance are to be brought up for
consideration during the session,
which is expected to run through the
customary forty days. Both branches
of the general assembly" are solidly
democratic; Indeed, there has not been
an opposition member in the general
assembly of this state since 1895. Following
the organization of the house
and senate the first day of the session,
the annual message of Governor Manning,
who retires from office on January
21, after having served four years
as chief magistrate, will be read before
both bodies. In neither the house nor
the senate are the elections of the officials
expected to consume much time.
In the house the retiring speaker,
xhnman P. Cothran of Greenville, is
expected to be re-elected on the first
ballot, possibly without opposition,
and thus far no opposition has developed
to the re-election of J. Wilson
Gibbs as clerk. The presiding officer
of the senate is the lieutenant governor
of the- state, who goes into office
from the general election, and therefore
there will be no contest for presiding
officer of that body. M. M.
Mann, of Calhoun county, is the retiring
secretary of the senate. He is offering
for re-election apparently
without opposition. Contests may develope
for reading clerk in both the
house and senate, but it is not anticipated
that In either body will be more
than one ballot necessary to choose
this Official. In the senate committee
assignments are made in the caucus
held the night before the session
opens, the personnel of the house committees
is selected by the speaker.
Senator Neils Christensen of Beaufort,
will hold over as chairman of the finance
committee,of the senate and it Is
understood that Representative Bradford
of York.*will be appointed chair
man of the ways and means committee
of the house, considered by many the
most important chairmanship of the
general assembly. Both Senator Christensen
and Mr. Bradford are newspaper
men. Among the more important
matters to be considered at the
session are the Joint resolution to be
offered for a constitutional convention;
the issuance, in 1920, of twentyfive
million dollars worth of highway
bonds, to be underwritten by the state;
reform in the tax laws of the state;
increased appropriations for the public
schools, including a statewide compulsory
school attendance law; increased
salaries for state officials, and the application
of the Military College of
South Carolina (the Citadel) for a
million dollar appropriation to in,
crease the facilities of the institution.
January 21 is the date set for the in
auguration of the new governor, Kobert
A. Cooper, of Laurens. Unless the
custom which has been observed in the
state for many years is changed. Mr.
Cooper will appear before a joint
meeting of the house and senate in the
hall of the house of representatives,
take oath of office and immediately de
liver his inaugural address from the
speaker's stand. Mr. Cooper is expected
to make a number of recommendations
to the general assembly in his
inaugural and it is believed that he
will wield great influence with the
members. One of the things he stressed
particularly in his campaign last
summer was better school facilities
for the commonwealth and his recommendations
along this line are awaited
with a great deal of interest. The
other state officers who were elected
last November and who will take oath
about the same time Mr. Cooper becomes
governor are: J. T. Liles, Orangeburg,
lieutenant governor; Sam
M. Wolfe, Anderson, attorney general;
W. Banks Dove, Richland,(re-elected),
secretary of state; Rutledge L. Osborne,
Anderson, comptroller general;
S. T. Carter, Richland, (re-elected),
treasurer; John E- Swearlngen, Edgefield,
(re-elected), superintendent of
education. W. W. Moore, Barnwell,
(re-elected). adjutant general: B.
narns, reiiuieion, tuuuuioiuiici
riculture; H. H. Arnold, Spartanburg,
railroad commissioner.
How the (icrinuns Pay the Bills.?By
a new order issued at general headquarters
says a Nancy despatch the
troops within the the occupied zone
hereafter are to be paid in froncs instead
of marks. Under the present
arrangement money in markB is
brought to Coblenz from Berlin by
Germans and turned over to the chief
disbursing officer.
The pay roll of the Third Army
amounts to approximately 26,000,000
francs per month.
Money to the amount of 15,000,000
marks arrived in Coblenz Saturday
the January assessment against the
Germans. A total of 79,000,000 marks
has been received from Berlin toward
paying the expenses of the occupying
forces. The exchange rate now is 147
marks for 100 francs.

From reports of physicians and others

colored population; but they appear to

1 People who bought war savings
stamps to help win the war are cashing
them. That is, a good many people
are doing so, much to the disappointment
of the government and of
people who were in hopes that the
purchase of these securities indicated
a tendency to save. When remonstrated
with those who are cashing in excuse
themselves with the statement
that they can get more for their money
than the government rate of interest.
But of course that is only an excuse.
Those who are cashing the
stamps are blowing in the money,
mostly. They simply cannot stand the
idea of saving.
Superintendent of Education Carroll
says he does not mind the action
of the South Carolina university people
appropriating his idea of erecting
a monument to the soldiers of Liberty
in the form of a building to house the
records of those same soldiers, and he
does not mind their claiming originality;
but he is most decidedly of opinion
that his own idea is best. He
thinks not only York county, but every
other county in the state should have
an educational administration building
and he cannot conceive of a more honorable
or creditable monument to the
soldiers and to the people who backed
the soldiers. "I have no objection to
the Columbia people's suggestion; but
the state will fare better to have an
administration building in each county
than to have one in Columbia and the
counties will fare better. As I have
already said, it would be a splendid
thing for York county to have an administration
building."
WITHIN THE TOWN
There is a peculiar roreign tasie 10
the public water supply that seems to
require investigation.
Some of the local business concerns
have completed their stock taking; but
others are still wrestling with the task.
Rev. T. W. Williams, colored, has
been sent to Yorkville as pastor of the
Wesleyan M. E. church, to take the
place of Rev. I. C. Wiley, who has been
transferred.
Rev. and Mrs. J. L. Oates of Yorkville,
have influenza. Rev. Mr. Oates
had to give up last Saturday morning
and Mrs. Oates developed the malady
yesterday. They are getting along as
well as could be expected under the
circumstances.
? "Fine for Mr. Stevenson 11 ne sews
that cannon for York county," said
Mayor Johnson yesterday, when he
heard of Mr. Stevenson's action in introducing
a bill in congress to that effect.
And Mr. Johnson reflected the
common sentiment.

young carriers of The Enquirer, -has
been down with influenza since last
Thursday and was unable to go his usual

but will do the best he can.
? The fire department was called out
Saturday at about noon, by a blaze In
the roof of Julia Adams's cottage, on

probably saved the house from

There were somewhat exaggerated
rumors of the local influenza situatior
in circulation yesterday, one storj
having it that there were twenty-eighi
children out of school from one grade
with many more from other grades
Upon being asked about the mattei
last night Prof. Rambo said that then
were eleven children sick with lnfluen
za from the seventh grade and a fev
more from other grades. The schoo
board and local board of health havi
had the situation under consideration
for some days; but have not yet seei
proper to close the echo >1, and ma;
not do so. According to Prof. Rambo
the consensus of opinion on the boart
of health is to take no drastic actioi
unless conditions grow mucn wore
than they are now.

CAPTURED GERMAN CANNON
If York county does not get a cap
tured German cannon, it will not b
the fault of Congressman Stevenson.
Mr. Stevenson thinks that Yorl
county has fully won and deserve
such a trophy and he is asking con

ed to back up the claim with facts tha
would seem sufficient to convince any
body.
Not only are people of Yorkvlll
heartily in favor of the idea; but rep
resentatlve men and women from al
over the county would be gratified t<
have one of these captured Germai
guns in the courthouse yard.
RENEWAL OF SUBSCRIPTIONS
After an exceedingly strenuous tei
days of it, the work of revising Thi
Enquirer's mailing list for 1919 ha
about been completed.
This work has involved the handlini
of about two thousand names withii
the period mentioned, and under con
ditions where one man is doing a
much as is ordinarily required of two
that has been quite an undertaking.
The process of getting a name prop
erly on the mailing list involves: 1
The receipt of the name from the club
maker with authority for renewal. 2
Entry of the name on the subscriptioi
book with proper postofflce addrea
and date of expiration. 3. Putting thi
name in type, and placing it in it
proper place in the mailing list.
This operation looks simple enougl
and it is simple enough; but it require
time and labor and care. Otherwlsi
there can be mistakes as the result o
which the subscriber will not get hi:
paper even after he has duly returne<
it to the clubmaker, or perhaps pah
for it. After the name is properly en
tered in the mailing list the label i:
placed on the paper by means of a ma
chine and there is but small chanci
that it may go wrong.
But that there are errors in thi
mailing list from one cause or anotne:
there is no reason to doubt.
It is the desire of the office to cor
rect all these errors as soon as possibli
and to do so, the assistance of the sub
scribers, clubmakers and others con
cerned is earnestly requested.
The subscriber who has duly return
ed his name and who Is not getting hit
paper should 1. Apply to his club
maker, or 2. Write us direct.
In order to locate the trouble witl
facility we must have: 1. The natun
of the trouble. 2. The name of th<
subscriber. 3- The name of the club'
maker who returned the subscription
4. The postoffice address of the subscriber.
With these points of information
it is an easy matter to get thing:
straightened out.
But all subscribers should remembei
this: No matter how intimate may b?
the acquaintance between the subscrib*
i_ 111-,-. H?<
cr ana puonsnLT, m mu uiainiig *?*><
the name Is one of 3,000 or more, and
the publisher cannot keep track of it
unless the subscriber provides the information
necessary for Its location
The publisher keeps a card index system,
but the subscriber can give the
information desired in much less time
than it requires for the publisher tc
find the necessary card.
And subscribers and clubmakers in
returning names or transacting any
other business are requested to write
where possible, Instead of using telephone.
The telephone Ls good for
business with the details of which both
parties are familiar, but it is very unreliable
in the transmission of namee
and addresses.
It is never safe to use the telephone
in business of this nature, unless the
news transmitted over the teiepnone is
afterward confirmed In writing.
Subscribers of course are assured
that the publishers desire absolute accuracy
as in matter concerning the
mailing lists ar.d they are also assured
that the publishers will appreciate any
assistan :e in the correction of any and
all errors of whatever nature.
HENRY SUGGS DEAD.
Henry L Suggs, the well known aviator
of Bethel, and son of the late
George L. Suggs, was killed in France
as the result of an aviation accident,
and Mrs. Suggs, his mother, has jusl
received a letter from Lieutenant Neilson,
a friend and comrade, from Tuscaloosa,
Ala,, giving an account of his
death.
Lieutenant Suggs was 28 years old
on the 6th day of last September. He
was a graduate of Clemson college,
where he was known as a most unusuaiiv
flna nnppimftn of moral, intellectu
al and physical manhood. He was the
strongest football plqyer of the -916
class, with which he graduated. He
went to the officers ' training school
Immediately on the breaking out of the
war, and later was selected by his superiors
for aviation service. The readers
of The Enquirer will remember the
thrillingly interesting letter to his
mother about an airplane flight he
made at Fort Sill, published in our issue
of January 11, 1918. Besides his
I mother, Lieutenant Suggs leaves two
sisters and two brothers, Mrs. T. BGoforth
of Rock Hill, and Mrs. Edgar
I Farls of N'o. 8, Yorkville; Lieutenant
1 O. Watt Suggs of Camp Merritt, N. J.,
[ and Mr. A. M- Suggs of Spencer, N. C.
, Lieutenant Neilson's letter follows:
"By the time this letter reaches you
r I suppose you will have heard of the
i sad news about Henry. In spite of the
- censorship regulations I will endeavot
' to give you all the details of the acci1
dent.
b "Saturday morning about 10 o'clock
i 'Nig* and Lieutenant Ryan left tht
i ground for an infantry liaison problem
f near the field. They were In a Llbertj
motor. Several pilots and obsejven
1 were watching their ship during the
"> problem. In banking we noticed th<
e ship go into two short tail-spins, bui
the pilot came out of these all right
Just about the time the problem end'
ed they went into another tall-splr
from which they never recovered. Af
V ter the crash the ship caught fire. Thej
fell approximately 1,000 feet. Anothei
s pilot and observer saw their ship goini
. do-vn, so* they landed near them anc
die. their best to save thdfr. Lieutenant
3 Reddington was able tO lit 'Nig* out
but it was useless to save the pilot, be
cause the crash probably killed hin
s Instantly. 'Nig' was rushed to the hos
e pital at once in an ambulance. Thii
was about 11:30 in the morning, anc
he was in a semi-conscious state. ]
* went over to the hospital about on<
" o'clock, and he seemed to be resting aj
1 easily as could be expected. He knev
me and I talked to him. I said 'Nig*
- do you know me'. He replied: 'Sure,
t I asked him if there was anything :
5 could do for him, and he answered
'Come over and see me every day.'
e left him about 2 o'clock and returnee
i to camp, believing there was chanci
3 for his recovery. The Great One abovi
though, saw fit to relieve him of hi:
0 misery about 3:45 p. m. The nursi
r told me he was the 'grittiest' man sh<
, had ever seen. He was conscious u]
to the time he passed away, and sai<
within five minutes of his death tha
e he was not going to die. At the las
t minute he said he would pass away
1 and he did, very peacefully. Both o
" his hands were badly burned, as wel
as his legs from his knees down. Hii
leg had a compound fracture and hi
also seemed to have a /lick upon hii
head. Taking all these thiugs int<
consideration, I really believe he woulc
e have desired to go to the Great Beyonc
VinH ho ronlizod his condition.
Ic "This afternoon at 1 o'clock we gav<
them a double military funeral. Aero

LEGISLATIVE NEEDS.
The legislative matters in the mindi
" of the people of Tork county as dis'
closed at the meeting of the count}
" delegation in the general assembly ir
the courthouse last Friday, are as fol1
lows:
3 1. Salaries of $900 each for Misse;
3 Minnie Garrison and Lillis Ashe, hom<
3 demonstration workers.
2. Ratification of the action ol
1 township supervisors in paying pei
3 diem to laborers in excess of the a2
mount prescribed in the road law, and
f amendment of the law so as to permit
3 the employment of road laborers al
1 prevailing community rates for othei
j similar labor.
3. Increase in the salaries of the
s various county officers.
4. Provision for the purchase of lan
mnota nronertv at the rear of the court
house so as to permit the completior
c of the courthouse in accordance with
original plans.
5. Abolition cf the chaingang.?
6. Building of a bridge over Cataws
ba river at Wright's ferry, at the Joint
expense of York and Mecklenburg
counties.
7. Cleaning out of the streams.
9. Statutory specification as to time
3 at which a man of twenty-one becomes
liable for road duty.
All of the members of the delegation
were present at the meeting Repre1
sentatlves Bradford, Pursley, N*unr
i and Hart, with Senator Beamguarc
s presiding., and the citizens in attendance
included about one hundred from
different parts of the country.
J. S. Brice, Esq., was the principal
. spokesman in behalf of the desired
changes in the law governing the
amount that township supervisors
3 shall pay for day labor, and as to the
matter of establishing the time al
P which a man shall become liable foi
duty after attaining his majority,
whether he shall be exempt until he
has made a regular tax return aftei
the first dav of January, or whether he
I shall be liable for road duty from tht
day he is twenty-one years of age.
[ R. S. Riddle, supervisor of Bethel,
and a delegation of citizens from the
northeastern part of the county, appeared
in behalf of the Catawba river
bridge proposition. Mr. Riddle stated
that the county commissioners ot
! Mecklenburg had said a year ago that
( Mecklenburg would pay two-thirds of
the expense of erecting the bridge if
York county would pay the other onei
third.
The delegation committed itself to
acceptance of such a proposition com1
ing from Mecklenburg in binding form.
J. S. Brice, Esq., took occasion to
say on his own responsibility as a citizen,
and without authority to
- fivoani hlmfiplf
SpeaK iur Uiljr uuu/ vaw|/v
that the compensation allowed to the
i various county officers is inadequate
and that reasonable increases should
t be allowed.
The members of the delegation did
! not express themselves on the salary
i increase matter.
With reference to more compensation
for the demonstration workers,
Representative Nunn said he was in
favor of it; that while he was not pre,
pared to speak of his own knowledge
of the benefits conferred upon the
county as a whole, he was very sure
r that workers in the mill villages had
[ derived very great benefit from the
home demonstration work?far more
than enough benefit to make up for the
increase in salary asked for.
Messrs. I. W. Johnson, J. A. Tate and
J. C. Wilborn appeared in behalf of
the bridge at Wright's ferry, all advocating
the proposition most heartily.
J. S. Brice, Esq., stated that the
county board of commissioners was
willing for the purchase of Law Range,
looking to the completion of the court v?"??
wo MVP as a Dractical reason
(I1UUOC aav. 0m. ? _
for the undertaking that the building
is already suffering serious damage
i from the weather by reason of its incomplete
condition and that it cannot
, be completed so long as Law Range is
in the way.
' Mr. W. S. Wilkerson explained the
embarrassment as to the labor situation.
The law does not allow township
supervisors to pay over {1 a day, and
under conditions as they now exist it
i is impossible to get labor at that price.
He has been paying 51.50 because he
could not get the labor for any less and
1 he wanted the law amended so as to
I give the township supervisor discretion
i to pay* the prevailing labor prices in
the community for road work.
Mr. Wilkerson advocated the abolition
of the chaingang, on the ground
! that chaingang laDor cosis mure mo...
, free labor and that better work may
be had for the same money.
Senator Beamguard observed that
he would vote for the abolition of the
i chaingang, if he could be shown a sati
Isfactory way of taking care of short
j term convicts at less expense.
I Representative Nunn wanted to
know whether or not township super
visors were clothed with adequate authority
tor the cleaning out of the
streams, and Mr. Brice stated that the
authority of these officials is sufficient.

I George L. Wallace of Yorkville, was

helpless wounded who had to be left to (
, the last and who were finally carried
) down the gang planks to destroyers. 1

live, there remained the question as to ;
whether his leg would be saved. He
was annarentlv getting along nicely
until one night he suddenly turned in j
his sleep, with the result of doing the
hurt all over again. He was a bed patient
across the Atlantic, and was

come oil and it will be many weeks
before he gets back home. In the
meantime he will be taken care of in
a demobilization hospital in New York. ,

Comptroller! General Rut L. Osborne,
has completed the estimate for
expenses for the year 1919 as made by
state officials, heads of departments,
governing boards, or the heads of all
institutions supported in whole or in
part by the state, and the figures below
show the amount appropriated in
1918, amounts asked for- 1919, increases
and decreases. The comptroller
general makes the following statement
regarding the levy for 1919: 'The
total tarn hi a nronnrtv of tho ntntn on
January 1, 1918, was $376,178,490.00. jj
Upon the basis of the 1918 levy, 8 1-4
mills, the revenue for 1919 will be
$3,103,472.61' To this we will add the
estimated income from sources other
than taxes of $354,000.00, thus showing
an estimated revenue for ordinary
expenses of 1919 of $3,457,472.61. The jj
appropriations asked for by tb? varl- V
ous institutions and departments
amount to $3,927,153.79 and it w*'l be
noted they will exceed the estimated
revenue of the state under an 8 1-4
mill levy by $469,681.18. If all the
appropriations "re made as asked for
it will be necessary to make a rate of
about 9 1-2 mills on the dollar to
raise the amount estimated;for section
2, Article X of the constitution requires
a levy sufficient to pay thft ordinary
expenses of the state together
with any existing deficiency in the proceeding
year."
