the following: First. Retribution
upon the Germans for the murder
and Ill-treatment of Allied prisoners.*

?Seven states on Tuesday completed
ratification of the prohibition constitutional
amendment and brought the
number taking such action to 30. The
number necessary for ratification is
36. Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, North Carolina and Alabama
were the states going into the
"dry" column. In addition the Nebraska
senate and the Utah house voted
for ratification. In California,
however, attorneys for the Grape
orowers' Protective league filed suit
for an Injunction to restrain the governor
from certifying the ratification.
In support of the suit, it was argued
that all acts of the California legislature
must be submitted to a referendum.
The states which have thus far
ratified the amendment are: Virginia,
Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina,
North Dakota, Maryland, Montana,
Arizona, Delaware, Texas, West Virginia,
Washington, California, Indiana,
Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Michigan,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Idaho, Arkansas,
Illinois, North Carolina, Kansas
and Alabama. Total, 30.
Approximately 800 persons have
been killed and 5,000 injured in the
strike disorders in Buenos Ayres, according
to advices received at Washington
at the state department. Of the
wounded 1,500 received treatment in
hospitals. In making this announcement,
Assistant Secretary Phillips said
the Socialists wiUi whom the majority
of the labor organizations implicated
in the strike are associated, refused to
be further identified with the strike disorders.
The anarchistic nature of the
uprising, Mr. Phillips said, was shown
by attacks on churches and conventsSacred
Images were thrown into the
streets, and one priest was killed in a
convent from which nuns and children
^were driven. F. M. Quintana, Argentine
charge d'affaires, on Wednesday
received a cablegram from his government,
dated Tuesday denying a dictatorship
had been established in Argentina
by General Dellepiane. The re *
"m.mi rvoHtnin np's dictator

hip is absolutely untrue," said the
message. "Dellepiane's appointment as
general commander of all the forces In
town only refers to the riots. Every
public institution has been safeguarded
and tonight the prospects are better
than they have been."
The legislatures of 35 states one
less than the required three-fourths
had ratified the prohibition constitutional
amendment Wednesday. Several
state assemblies now in session
were expected to take action yesterday
with a probable race between Nebraska,
Missouri and Minnesota as to
which would be the 36th on the list.
Ratification was completed Wednesday
by the legislatures of five states
Iowa, Colorado, Oregon, New Hampshire
and Utah making a total of 12
in two days. Of the 35 states that
have taken action, only 14 have certified
their action to the federal state

? Nine persons are known to have
^^been killejL&nd about fifty injured by
explosion of a huge'tank of molasses

street.Boston, near Keaney square
on Wednesday. Eight bodies were

bruises. The cause of the explosion
has not been definitely determined.
Walter L. Wedge, explosives expert,
said that he was not prepared to give
a final opinion, but that it seemed
probable, it resulted from gas fumes
generated by fermenting molasses
within the tank, which was not
full. The tank was owner by the
Purity Distilling company. A dull
muffled roar gave but an instant's
warning before the top of the tank
was blown into the air. The circular
wall broke into two great segments
of sheet iron. Two mlllloon gallons
of molasses rushed into a mighty
stream over the streets and converted
into a sicky mass the wreckage of
several small buildings, smashed by
the explosion. The greatest mortality
apparently occurred in one of the
buildings of a city storage yard. One
of the sections of the tank wall fell
on a Are house, crushing it.
Francis J. Heney, of San Francisco,
who was chief councel for the
federal trade commission in its investigation
of the meat packing industry,
told the Senate agricultural
committee last Wednesday that Swift
& Co.. "had packed" the food administration
with ">dollar a year men,"
who received large salaries from the
company at the time they were serving
the government. Mr. Heney. who

saying that publication of the
letters was hindering the food conservation
campaign. Mr. Heney said
he was recalled from Chicago where
he was working on the commission's
Investigation of the packers and
found on his arrival here that the
President had advised the commission
that he had no Instructions to offer,

The question of whether the peace
conference is to be secret or wholly
open to the eyes and ears of the
world, the settlement of which has
long been awaited, was brought to a
focus Wednesday when It was announced
that an agreement had been
made to confine the information given
by the public to a dally official communique
and that a gentleman's agreement
prevailed among the delegates
not to discuss or In any way give information
of the meetings in the for"eign
office. No written official announcement
of this purpose was issued,
but word was passed out to this
effect, and it was followed by an explosion
of protests which quite drowned
out the doings of the peace commissioners.
The understanding is
that the American and British delegates
opposed this decision, but the
French. Italians and Japanese, _voting
together, prevailed. The Britisn
newspaper correspondents immediately
joined in a memorial of protest,
which they put before Premier Lloyd
George. The American newspaper
correspondents united in what is virtually
a "round robin" to President
Wilson, in which they protested in
measured terms against the decision
and reminded the president that one
of his 14 points specifies "open coenants
of peace, openly arrived at."
The memorial was before the president
Wednesday night, and there was
every reason to beleve that such a
storm had been raised that would
force the question before the meeting
again before actual sessions of the
peace conference begin Saturday
morning. The question of whether
the meetings are to be open or closed
has been smoldering for several days.
It is associated with conditions which
have surrounded the lack of method
in making public what has actually
been going on in the conference for
the past month. The American newspaper
correspondents of whom there
are about 100 here to report the peace'
proceedings, have been received dally

Because of the congestion of legislation
Senator Smith has announced
that he will not press his bill prescrib1

llvered on future contract
The national house on Tuesday passed
a bill appropriating 1100,000,000 to
be used for feeding the hungry people
of Europe. The house at first refused
to pass the appropriation; but ro-consldered
on an urgent message from the
president, backed by a similar message
from Henry D. White, peace delegate.
Joe Cannon, the venerable Republican
leader, came out openly ,n behalf
of granting the president's request.
The telegram bringing the Information
of Congressman Stevenson's ,ntroduction
of a bill to give a captured
German cannon to Yorkville, mentioned
this town only. Subsequent information
Is that the bill also includes
cannon for Lancaster, -Camden, Cheraw,
Gaffney, Chesterfield, Chester,
Fort Mill, Kershaw, Rock Hill and
Wlnnsboro. All of this is very proper,
and it is sincerely hoped that the bill
will go through.
The market manipulators seem to
have been having their own way with
cotton during the past week or ten
days, especially as to future contracts.
Just what it means, we do not know,
unless the explanation lies In farther
organized efforts of the folk3 who
made such heavy short sales upon the
signing of the armistice. There are
Indications now that these manipulators
are being backed by the spinners,
who, sitting back on the tremendous
profits they made out of war prices,
are now concentrating their efforts on
getting cheaper cotton from the farmers.
The whole thing, of course, is
terribly unfair; but that does not count
with the folks who are out for profits
for themselves only, and how the thing
is going to turn out in the end will depend
upon the firmness with which the
farmers hold on to their crops.
The news that after all the peace
conference is to be behind closed doors
and the world is not to be taken into
the confidence of the peace negotiators,
is the greatest disappointment
that has come out of Paris since the
signing of the armistice. America
went into this war, for instance, for
the purpose of "making the world safe
/tomncra(>v" and that means, if it
means anything, the practice cf individuals,
through divine right, siperior
power or any other consideration, ordering
the affairs of others in accordance
with their own notions of what
individuals or nations should or should
not be allowed to do. In the eyes of
the world the disposition of the peace
conference to act on its own Judgment,
whether its final mandates are Just and
righteous or otherwise, is suggestive of
the big bully who stands at the street
corner with a club and makes passersby
take off their hats and go to the
right or the left as his Inclinations
seem to suggest. Open peace conferences,
no matter what they might do,
would seem to have the sacred backing
of majority approval, and on that
account they would satisfy. Of course
something may yet turn up to make
things look better; but Just now we
feel that America is still a long way
off from the attainment of the main
thing for which she has been fighting.
On account of the illness of Rev. J.
L. Oates, the chairmanship of he Near
East Relief drivj for western York,
has devolved upon Mr. W- T. Beamguard
of Clover. Mr. Oates had' not
been advised of his appointment until
after he had been attacked by influenza,
and was unable to do anything in
the way of promoting the work. Mr.
RAnmruard has taken hold after the
drive should have been commenced it
should have been under way since the
12th and Is at a serious disadvantage
as to organization, etc. He has been
writing letters to the pastors of the
county, to the teachers of the Sundayschools
and to the teachers of the public
schools for assistance, and he is
publishing a notice today that tells everybody
who desires to help how they
may get their contributions to the
right place. Readers of the newspapers,
as well as readers of The Enquirer
alone, have had opportunity to be
informed as to conditions in the Near
East, the need for relief and the steps
that are being taken to afford that relief.
We will say that while there may
be those who think that the sufferings
of the Near East are no concern of
oura, if there are any such they are [
mistaken. It is the call of Christianity i
to humanity the call of God almighty
on some of his children who r.re more
fortunate, to help others of his children
who are less fortunate, and there
is no question of the duty of any one
to give in such a cause.
The severest fighting between the
contending elements in Berlin, has
I been over the possession of the impor
' tant newspapers. The Bolshevist crown
I took possession of the newspaper offlees
by force and the Ebert government
Anally managed to recover them.
! The Idea, of course, was to get hold of
the newspapers In order that the peoI
pie In control could keep away fropi
the people the things they wanted kept
; away, and give the people the stufT
I they wanted to give. The Incident
shows the tremendously keen appreciation
that all parties have of the power
and importance of the press- But the
1 underlying incentive involved In the
matter Is not new to publishers of experience.
The capture of South Carolina
newspapers by designing people has
not been unknown, and it is not unknown
now. But the methods employ*
ed in South Carolina are different. One
way is to lend the newspaper publisher
more money than he can pay and control
his conduct by means of a mortgage
on his plant. Another way is to
buy the plant outright and continue
the operation through a hired editor.
Another way is by the use of political
power and still another way is by the
use of social influence. Then there are
a class of people who are not Bolshe
vists who look upon tne newspapers as
a kind of public institution maintained
by private energy and enterprise for
their own peculiar use and without
charge. Most editors and publishers
who are fit to have charge of a newspaper
understand all these things better
than it is possible for individuals to
understand them.
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
Reviews Past Efforts and Suggests
Further Line of Endeavor.
Pointing to high Ideals of government
and civilization, the last annual
message of Richard I. Manning, whose
four years of office as chief executive
will expire January 21, when he will
be succeeded by Robert A. Cooper of
Laurens, was read to the houses of the
general assembly Wednesday.
Stating that the war is won for
world democracy, and that the ideal of
autocracy is laid in its ashes, the message
calls the people of the state to
service in the following language:
"Unless we as a people are unable to
consecrate our best efforts, our highest
ideals, our unselfish endeavors and oua
moral, spiritual and material forces to
the ways and purposes of peace as we
have dedicated those to the ways ol
winning of the war, we shall fail to
hold and retain much of that for which
the war has been fought; but the
splendid accomplishment oof the people
of South Carolina in their unstinted
and wholehearted support of the
?'?? laofio mo ?n hnliAVP ?LS T have
that they have grasped the vision of
the higher citizenship and a clearer
understanding of its obligations."
Among * the specific recommendations
outlined and suggested in th^
message are:
A broadening of the educational
system, with liberal appropriations foi
the maintenance of schools and institutions
of higher learning.
An improved system of highways.
Continued liberal care of the unfortunate
insane of the state.
Consideration of the splendid accomplishments
of the state board of
charities and corrections.
Thoughtful consideration of the
work of the state tax commission.
The maintenance of a system of
state troops for the maintenance of order,
suppression of riots, safeguarding
the people against invasion and rebellion,
should these occur.
Adequate salaries for state officials.
Sufficient remuneration for all classes
of workers.
Improved housing conditions for laborers,
particularly those in the cotton
I millsImproved
sanitation, particularly in
the rural districts.
The stamping out of illiteracy in
Sbuth Carolina.
j The forepart of the governor's message
is taken up with the things ac
? onH
I compnsneu uy mo auuuuuiwa^v.., ?
they make a splendid recital. He tells
| of the creation of the state board of
charities and corrections, the state tax
commission, the conciliation board and
I other agencies of economic and industrial
advancement, and the improvo[
ments made at the state hospital for
the insane. He narrates the efforts he
made for law enforcement and his successes,
and the effort to bring the people'to
higher ideals of service.

now appears that success Is In sight.
Mecklenburg has made a liberal offer,
and if South Carolina is like-minded
the bridge will be built. Tho Yorkville
Enquirer makes an intelligent
presentation of the situation. It believes
that, commercially, Mecklenburg
stands for the greater immediate
benefits, and for that reason should
pay the larger part of the costs,
which it proposes to do. The Enquirer
argues:
While Mecklenburg will undoubtedly
bear the larger part of the expense
for the Wright's Ferry bridge, the
county has made no definite promise
to that effect. Legislative action is to
be first sought, and then the matter of
financing the bridge will be undertaken.
There is fine promise that this
time the bridge is to be "a go." Charlotte

Mayor Johnson or xorKvine, saia
yesterday that <t developed at the ]
bridge conference in Charlotte Wednesday,
that the North Carolina people
wanted the proposed bridge across the
Catawba at a point two miles above 1
Wright's ferry, instead of at the ferry. f
It is fair to say that all the talk before
the Tork delegation meeting in the 1
courthouse last Friday, contemplated
the Wright's ferry location, and it was
at that location the delegation was inclined
to give its consent on a basis of 1
Mecklenburg paying two-thirds of the
cost and Tork one-third. It is quite
probable that the upper location will
bring complications that may not be
easily adjusted with the Tork delega- 1
tion. 1
YORK ON COMMITTEES. t
Tork county has fared unusually e
nn tVm rnmmlttnpfl nf the house
this year, having several important J
chairmanships, including those of ways
and means, commerce and manufac- (
tures, accounts and engrossed bills. I
The committee assignments of the different
members is as follows:
Representative Bradford Chairman 1
Ways and Means.
Representative Hart Member of Ju- *
dietary, Rules.
Representative Nunn Chairman of
Accounts, chairman of Commerce and 1
Manufactures, chairman of Engrossed t
Bills. 1
Representative Pursley Member of
Agriculture, Legislative Library, Offl- (
ces and Officers. 1
Mr. Bradford has only one assignman*
tnf tho ppnqnn fhnt thp WflVS and
Means is generally considered the most
Important committee of the house and
the chairman thereof Is seldom appointed
to any other committee.
All three of Mr. Nunn's chairmanships
are of especial importance.
Mr. Pursley Is second on the, very
Important committee on agriculture.
Mr- Hart does not fare quite so well
because of being a new member; but
his assignment to the Judiciary and
Rules committees indicates knowledge
and appreciation of his fine qualifications.
These are easily two of the most
important committees of the house.

At their annual meeting last Tuesday
the stockholders of the First National
Bank of Yorkville, elected directors
as follows: R. C. Allein, A. A.
Burris, W. B. Moore, J. L. Ralney, J.
M. Stroup, O. E. Wilkins, W. I. Witherspoon.
The directors elected R. C.
Allein, cashier, ajid W. R- Latimer, assistant
cashier. The report of the president
showed a handsome profit on the
operations of the past six months, and
the directors ordered the distribution
of a semi-annual dividend of 6 per
cent.
At the recent annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Loan and Savings
bank, the old board of directors was
re-elected as follows: B. N. Moore, J.
S. Brlce, W. 8. Wilkerson, W. W. LewIs,
J. R. Cannon, Quinn Wallace, C. E.
Spencer. The directors re-elected B.
N. Moore president; J. S. Brice vice
president; C. W- McGee cashier; Miss
M. M. McCorkle assistant cashier. A
semi-annual dividend of 6 per cent
was paid to the stockholders, and the
excess earnings over dividends, etc.,
was passed to the surplus fund.
After- n refill onnVflRs nt the
whole situation, the local school board J
has decided that It will not be best to *
close the public schools on account of ?
Influenza. There were two Important f
considerations to be settled. 1st. The t
question as to whether the continuance S
of the school would involve greater
danger of spread of Influenza, and, 2d. *
Fairness to those children who have n
been so unfortunate as to lose time, as
well bb fairness to those who have not u
been so unfortunate. The second ques- e
tion was settled on the principle of the t
greatest benefit to the greatest num- o
ber, and the first question was settled d
in accordance with the board's judg- fl
ment as to safety and well being of the li
community. The school will not be P
closed in the light of existing facts; but r
for the benefit of the children as well u
as for the benefit of the community. 11
Prof. Rambo has called upon the s
teachers directly and upon the patrons f
through their children to use greater c
precautions than have heretofore been t
customary. The parents are requested a
to keep at home such of their children t
as may be showing symptoms of the a
malady and the teachers areMnstructed r
to send back home such children im- t!
mediately after their arrival at school, f
Arrangements will be made for lmme- a
diate expert examination of all sus- t
nects. The total number of pupils outjc
of school on account of influenza at the x?
present time is thirteen. a

Dr. w. vv. renneu or kock nui, is
ip and about again after having pas9d
through an illness that seriously
hreatened his life. While operating
n a "pus" patient not long since, the
[octor had the misfortune to prick his
inger with the lancet he had been usng,
before the instrument had been
iroperly sterilized. He did not think
nuch of the matter at the time, and
ised no precaution beyond applying a
Ittle iodine and other "first aid" antieptlcs.
The next night, some twentyour
hours later, he was awakened out
if his sleep by a fearful pain in his
land and found his finger swelled over
, ring to a point that almost buried
he ring from sight. He called in the
ssistance of other physicians, filed the
ing from his hand and began work on
he trouble as best he could. He suf- 1
ered swelling of the glands at the i
rmpits and experienced other symp
oms of a very bad time ahead, or <
ourae he went to bed and he suffered !
erribly, with temperature rising to 103
,nd above; but he was able to be up
ist Monday, whether he ought to have i
otten up then or not, and is going <
bout with his left hand in a sling and 1
wadded in bandages. He has had ]
uite a close call of it, and those of his ]
lany friends who knew the facts have i
een very much concerned. I
HERE AND THERE. w
The Rock Hill road, which has been r
constructed at such tremendous cost to s
the county, is now in a condition that q
is little short of disgraceful- It is bad {
practically over the whole distance; h
but if there is any difference the worse .
part of it is in -Ebenezer township between
Tirzah and Newport. There is
some bad road also beyond Newport. ?
There is one place near old Tirzah ?
church that has broken several automobiles,
and over which the driver of 1
a stock wagon would have to be care- c
ful. This sounds like exaggeration; "
but it is the unvarnished truth. There ?
ought to be some way at least to bring 1
about the dragging of this road. ?
ur. w. vy. renneu was ai me uuern- r
sey sale in Rock Hill last Tuesday. He 8
probably ought not to have been there r
as he had only gotten out of his sick r
bed the day before. But fine cattle, a
Guernseys especially, is the doctor's <j
hobby, and he just could not stay In so v
long as he was able to move. He j
probably has the finest herd of Guern- _
seys In the state. He was the highest
bidder on several of the animals put up t
at the sale, and for one fine milker he c
paid $426. It was a big price for a ,
cow, many people thought; but the c
doctor was entirely pleased with his T
bargain. "But," he explained good hu- *
moredly as he fondled the glossy necK
of the beautiful animal with his free .
hand, "I would have her cheaper if it *
had not been for John Roddy and 5
those fellows. They heard me say yes- I
terday that I wanted her and they run '
her up on me." Further the doctor re- 8
marked, "Everybody should have a ^
hobby and the Guernsey is one of my ?
hobbies. My patients must have the 1
best of milk and no other cow can give 8
them better milk than the Guernseys." c
glad to see this sale and the prices c
I met John Mcllwaln at the Guernsey
sale in Rock Hill last Tuesday s
good humored, good-natured, sensible ^
John. He came at me about his paper, j
wnicn naa oeen sioppea; oui ne was
not quarreling as some people quarrel.
He had out his pocketbook, fishing for *
the price, and he was smiling. Here
is about what he said: "We did not get
any paper last Friday, and I know it
is my fault I thought about it some
time ago; but I figured that the same
clubmaker who had it last year would '
come around, and somehow I forgot.
We did not know any better until the {
paper failed to turn up and then wr ,
were in a bother. I told mother that
you would not have let my paper stop 1
if you had known it; but of course you ^
cannot look after all that with all the
other things you have to attend to
But I'll tell you that when The Enqui- t
rer fails to come it mixes things up. t
We get a number of papers at our
house, and the stopping of all of them T
would not make as much difference to 1
mother as the stopping of The Enqui- ?
rer. It is about same with me, too. But
anyhow, if you will look after it for '
me and let the paper come on, I will
be much obliged. Be sure, too, to send (
us the back numbers." No, I would
not have stopped John Mcllwaln's paper
if I had any way to keep up with ?
T V*o iro nA flllph WAV t
suet] maikcio, uui x nutv hv 4
It is purely a matter of bookkeeping ,
and I seldom know whether a man is
or is not getting the paper, except In '
circumstances like this when the sub- 1
Ject is brought directly to my personal ,
attention. 1
I saw Alec Williford at the Guernsey
sale in Rock Hill Tuesday. He was 1
right up behind tike auctioneer almost ,
from the beginning to the end of the t
sale, watching every animal offered '
and every -bid that was made. Alec J
knows cattle about as well as the next 1
one. He does not pretend to know (
anything. As a matter of fact I be- .
lieve that he really thinks he knows 1
almost nothing about the subject, but f
I have always thought that I could get
more information real practical information about
cattle from Alec 1
Williford than any other one man I 1
have ever talked to. When I got a ]
chance to speak to him I asked, "Well, ,
did you buy any Guernseys?" "No,"
he replied, "that is not my kind. They 1
are fine catle all right for people who i
will take care of them; but they don't j
suit me. They would not look so well,
you know, coming home at night with c
cockleburs in their tails and looking c
like they needed currying. Guernseys I
like that would need more attention j
than I am in a position to give them,
not being in the milk and butter business
especially. ' But I am mighty a
that are being paid. It means that the rf
country is getting in a way to appre- ^
ciate sure enough cattle, and that is I
worth a heap." "Are you feeding any J
cattle this year?" I asked him. "I am 1
starving about seventy head," he re- ^
plied somewhat disgustedly. I thought '
and still think that he was deprecat- v
ing himself unnecessarily, and refused f
to accept h'is representation. "Yes, I
let them stay in the pasture too long, .
and then because feed is so high, 1
have not been especially generous with :
it." "Have you lost any?" I asked. :
"Not a one," he admitted- "Well, '
would you sell them for as much as .
they cost you?" was the next question. ^
"I am all right on that score,'' ne re- plied.
"I let some go not long ago *
and was very well satisfied. My cattlt
not in as good shape as they ought to f
be in; but I have no loss so far, I don't
think." Mr. Williford is devoting him- t
self principally to shorthorns. He
buys, sells and trades; but most of his ,
herd is made up of shorthorns, anu ?
that he has some very fine ones is gen- J
erally admitted. 2
SOMETHING OF A FORGER. J
Robert Seagle, a Bethel township t
negro, twenty years old, who has been it
having a high rolling time on the pro- r
-eeus of forged checks, has come to
grief at the hands of Magistrate Johnson,
of Bethel township, end he is ?
now in jail awaiting a final settle- *
ment with the la\y at the next term ot 1
the court of general sessions. a
The Bank of Clover was the prlnci- c
pal victim of the negro's operations, ^
and the facts connected with the af- !
fair go to make up quite an interesting little
story. ^
ihe rorgery was discovered by Mr.
W. P. Smith, the well-known cotton
dealer of Clover, Filbert and Bowling n
<jrten, in connection with the cheek- i<
ing up of his acounts at the bank. p
There was included in his canceled
checks one of October 3 for $1<5, paia h
to Campbell Berry and two of November
16, one for ?li5 and one for
J14 9, both payable to Arthur Morey. 1
aii thrbp checks carried what pur- 0
ported to be the signature of N. B.
Duiin. who represents Mr. Smith at a
Bowling Green; but there was no a
record of these checks in Mr. Dulin's P
report to Mr. Smith, and Mr. Dulin '
denounced them as forgeries as soon ?
as they were submitted for his lnspec- ,
tlon. ' *
Preliminary investigation disclosed ||
that three blank checks had been torn
from the back of the book being used
by Mr. Dulin, and with but little more
than that to go on, the case was turned
over to Magistrate Johnson for fur- t
ther development.
Knowing to begin with that most of
the negroes of the neighborhood had ^
plenty of money, Mr. Johnson did not
waste a great deal of time along that
line but at once directed his efforts j
to turning up those who had been jj
most free and reckless in the spending cl
line, and this effort pretty soon led to
the trail of Robert Seagle. One way II
and another he got on to the fact
that Robert had commenced to cut &
Inns' in
nuiuc picuj O*TCII uiuww 0 ? T)
the middle of the fall and that the a,
pace he had maintained for several ^
weeks must have called for at least jr
two or three hundred dollars more than fjj
he could have realized out of his part
of the proceeds from his cotton crop, c
But of course Mr. Johnson took noth- C)
ing for granted. He is too much of a ^
detective and too much of a criminal q1
lawyer for anything: like that. He e]
went rlgrht in after the negro's tracks, h
learned where he had been, what he r
had been doing, and where and how
he had been blowing in a good deal M
? +v?on v?o r?nnlr1 Via.vp ever
IUUI C UlUilCj umn *tv ??%..? _ - -come
by through any legitimate means al
within his abilities. In short, he got s<
plenty of information to justfy the th
negro's arrest, and an the strength of ni
that information he swore out a war- n<
rant before Magistrate Quinn. ui
All this work had been done with- tl
out creating any alarm on the part of ai
Seagle. Fact is Seagle seems to have w
had no suspicion that anybody had se
-js aqj pun uqq jo uopjdsns Aire e>
rest was managed In the same thor- th
mtgoing manner. Everything having bi
been carefully planned beforehand, gi
Mr. Johnson, accompanied by Police- _
nan John-Andy Jackson, of Clover '
tnd several others, surrounded Seal's
house at night and captured him m
'ithout difficulty beyond a short footace
and the firing of a few shots.
In the jail the next day, Mr. Johnon
had an Interview with Seagle anr'
eagle, after finding that the maglsrate
already knew a whole lot about
is operations, gave up some more inormatlon
which though not strlctl:
ccurate, included about everything
hat seems necessary to prove the
ase to the satisfaction of a jury
without any further assistance from
he defendant.
Among other things, to begin with,
ieagle had $110 of honest money out
t cotton of his own raising, and with
his money he said that he had bought
, suit of clothes for $28, had given
>ls girl $25, had paid a fine for carylng
a concealed pistol and had
pent $9 otherwise; but that did not
learly account tor an tne items tne
nagistrate had collected Information
.bout, so the negro confessed to havng
stolen the blank checks upon
irhich he worked his forgeries, makng
one of the checks payable to his
lval in the affections of his woman
vlth the idea of getting the rival in
rouble in case of the discovery of the
rime, and making the other payable
0 a person who existed only in h's
?wn imagination. The name of Mr.
lulln, of course, he signed to all the
hecks.
Pressed further, the forger admited
expenditures as follows: Bought
1 wheel for $47.50; lost $60; spent $25
or railroad fare; $8 in restaurants;
7.50 for overhauling suit; $27.50 for
i pistol; $34 running around w'th a
roman; $31 at Gaston fair; $3.50
rolng to Gastonia; $25 to his girl; $82
or phonograph in his possession; $80
ant by ma'l for another phonorraph;
not yet received: $1.50 for rec?rds;
$116 for watch and various oth r
amounts.
Attempted verification of the negro's
itatements has showed that some of
hem are correct while others are not.
for instance, Mr. Johnson thinks the
itory of the $80 mailed for a pono;raph
was hatched up to protect other
>arties, probably the negro's girl, who
eceived the money.
