r? President "Wilson has been a very
sick man during the past week- Following
his return from his speaking
tour in the west he was still able to
be flip and tpo^ some, automobile rides
for air ttnd exercise. Later, libwever,
he'was (ordered to remain in bed.
Temperature ran pretty high and be-,
cbihing alarmed Dr. Qrarj'soVi considered
it prudent to call in outside spc^ln*
TKo cnaolollofc o PTonfl with
the doctor that the president was suffering
from nervous collapse which
did not quite amount to exhaustion.
Absolute rest and quiet was ordered.
nor\e btit the family were allowed
to' see him. I'uch concern has been
fefc throughout the .country and( the
world because of "thd president's condition.
The latest reports, however,
appear to be more encouraging.
?Secretary Tumulty has prepared an
answer to a resolution Introduced by
Representative Rodenburg of Illinois,
asking for Information concerning
the alleged million dollars .worth
of gifts received by President Wilson
in Europe. The list will be itemized and
it was said at the White House me
value la "very, very insignificant."
Ill fact, it was said, by officials, the
president did not receive a single present
which would require an act of
congress to enable him to accept. In
evfery case, it was said, where a gift
was about to be made; the president
Ooasulted Secretary I^ansing and the
attorney general, who advised/ that
thai president could accept. Thfe king
of Italy presented the president with
two old guns and the king of England
gave him a book, it was said. The
most valuable present received by the.
president was a gold casket which contacted
a certificate of citizenship from
the city of London.
LordVjorthcllffe.,owner of the London
Times, the London Daily Mail and
many other English papers has defied
organized Jabor to keep him from expressing
in his newspaper whatever
opinion he fnay choose regarding the
railwaymen's strike now going on in
England. Lord Northcliffe, who is the
most powerful newspaper owner in the
' World, expressed himself as prepared to
rftop the publication of his papers
rather than modify his opinion on the
strike. A few days ago the machine
tfcanagers of The London Daily Mail
sent to'Lord Northcliffe a letter containing
the following: "We wish to
enter a strong protest against the
treatment meted, out to the National
TJ>nion of Railwaymen in the columns
of your paper." To which Lird
Northcliffe replied: "I am entirely
satisfied with the attitude of my journals
toward this national calamity, and
rather than bis dictated to by anyone
or any body of men I will stop the
publication of these newspapers,- and
have so Informed the Newspaper Proprietors'
Association."
? Told by George A. Zabriskle, presi
dent of the.gqgar equalization board, it
was practically certain that unless
legislative action was takon immediately
sugar prices would increase after
January 1, the senate committee investigating
the sugar shortage on Friday'rt&quested
W. A: Glasgow, counsel
for the food administration to formulate
legislation designed to alleviate
th^ situation ahd to make possible
negotiations for purchasing the 1920
Cuban sugar Crop. The committee
mad6 its'request after Mr. Zabriskie
had testified that despite urging by the
sugar equalization board President
Wilson had failed to authorize purchase
of the Cuban crop, and after he
at Chairman McNary's insistence had
presented his correspondence with the
president. The Cuban government
withdrew its offer of the sugar crop
Sentember 23. Zabriskie said. He add
eil. however, that means might yot he
found to obtain the Cuban sugar if
legislative action ?could be had immediately.
It would be necessary
also, he said, to make provision for
continuation of the sugar equalization
loard, which automatically goes out of
existence December 31.

?Tjy decisive votes the senate last

amendihents offered by Senator
Fall, Republican, of New Mexico, anil
supported I by the Foreign Relations
Committee majority, intended to eliminate
American participation on the
commissions established under the
treaty, excepting the Reparation commission.
Mr. Fall has one more
amendment to provide that the representative
of the United States on the
Reparation Commission be subject to
instructions of his government in all
matters excepting commerce involving
this country- That, too, it is assured, j
is doomed to defeat when reached la- i
tcr in-the reading of the treaty. The
outcome of this, the first clash ot
strength between the opposing forces |
on amendments in the treaty battle,!
was accepted by the Republican lead- |
ers as forecasting the fate of the remaining
amendments promulgated by I

that of Senator Johnson of California

Entered at the Postofflce at York as f
Mail Matter of the Second Class. 1
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1919. 1<
With the defeat of what are known
as the Kali amendments, the senate *
ought to have sense enough to ratify ?
the peace treaty and go home. It is P
quite evident that the American public *
has very little sympathy >vith all this *
unnecessary discussion.
s
c
The French chamber of deputies ^
has ratified the peace treaty by an t
pverwhelming majority , and at the a
same time the chamber gave Clemen- ?
\U
ceau the strongest vote of confidence ^
that he has ever received. All eyes are p
now turned to the United States, for t
it is commonly believed that a favor- Q
able vote of the United States senate
will come pretty near to settling the
whole trouble- Italy has not. yet rat- f
ified the treaty; but it is believed that ^
Italy will have the whole matter set- e
tied for her by royal decree. s
\ t!
Though men sometimes gct? imr a
patient of the law, it in well to re- a
member that without,the law there is n
no protection to either life, property a
or the pursuit of happiness. The man h
or woman who foregoes the law is c
skating on thin ice, with a certainty n
of breaking through. There are n
those in high position, perhaps, who a
violate the law and who, apparently tl
get away with it. But the getting b
away is only apparent. The punish- a
rner.t of outlaws in high position is t:
just as sure and just as severe as i$. li
punishment of their more more hum- p
Imitators. | o
. ? . n
And*by the way, the Yorkville En- w
.quirer, already the leading county pa- n
per in the state, has recently installed
a modern perfecting press. As a re- *"
suit of this The. Enquirer now ap- (!
pears in 8-page form, giving it a great 1<
deal more space and adding very (]
much to tho appearance of the paper.
Editor Grist is a newspaper man in
ovnrv Konso of the word and his naner n
comes about as near containing only tl
that which the reading, public seeks y
as any Journal which comes this vfiiy?Fort
Mill Times. a
Certainly The Yorkvilte Enquirer
appreciates that. Such A compliment v
coming from a local contemporary v
commands appreciation, t This paragraph
is being reproduced for two a

is proud of it, and the other by way

(icneral Leonard Wood has issued a ^
statement in which he charges the're- M

that the American legion men were

000 men who were recently enrolled >

jj
things against that portion of the
population that is ever ready to seize s
upon any project to incite to violence J

Omaha, will soon be restored to com- i ''

A congressional investigating committee
is endeavoring to ilnd out why
the hundreds of thousands of auto- ,j
mobiles accumulated by the govern- t
meat for military purposes during the t|
war are now being permitted to stand
idle and undisposed of. The war has (j
been over for a year, lacking Jittle
more than, p month, and by the time ^
Hie investigation is completed the mil- j.
lions of dollars worth of automobiles
involved in the investigation will
probably have gone to ruin. These C(
automobiles, every one of them that is
not needed, should be put en the p
market and sold for a price. They
should not he sacrificed. It is not n
necessary to sacrifice them. Hut they a
should be offered at a reasonable dis- Sl
count t>ff original cost and sold to <|
whoever desires to buy. These inili- ...

of why the automobile manufacturers j C(
are now behind with their orders. Cut p

white men were to be killed by
egroes assigned for the purpose, and
ritli these killings, which were to be

50,000 rounds of ammunition at

No other one Influence, perhaps, has
ontributcd more to the material ,wclire
of this section of the state than
he splendid banking facilities that
ave been developed here. Our banks,
ithout exception, are a credit to the
eople in charge and to the people
enerally. The bankers deserve credit
II'
ar the broad, liberal, and progressive
ties on which they run their busiest),
and their patrons are entitled to
rcdit for intelligent discrimination in
inking use of the facilities offered.
Ye have no authentic statistics availble;
but we have information conrniatbry
of the belief that there ale
lore bank patrons in York county, in
TODortinn to population than in any
" ' " " t
ounty in the state. In this rpspect,
roportlon of population "having bank
ccounts, we believe York will rank
igh with all the countries of the United
itates. It has been a matter of a
hort time, not more than twenty
ears, when the man with a bank
ccount was the exception. As many
s nine people out of ton who, from
imo to time, were accustomed to have
s much as $100 or more in cash were
icllncd to keep that cash in their
crsonal possession,'and pay it out as ;
ash. Now except for labor, a cash
ayment of even $25, is more or less
arc. The man who has business of
his volume and who has no bank j
ccount is the exception rather than j
he rule. Most of the money of the)
o.untry is now in the hanks, where it )
oes the most good to everybody. J'eo- |
Ic ore beginning to understni\d that I
rivate hoarding of small amounts, or
vjge amounts, works general hard-'
hip to the public, including them-!
fives, and the number of people who j
omprchend the general benefits aris- <
ig to everybody from common de- j
ocits Ims Ri'own to surprising pro
ortions. It would be difficult to estf- !
tate the material benefits the banks
re conferring on the people of this
eclion; but it is not difficult to see'
tint within twenty years at the same'
ite of progress that has been appnr-;
nt for the past twenty years, York I
aunty will be several times as pros- :
erour. as site is now. And this pros- j
erity will extend not to the hankers |
lone but to every class of the popu- j
ition.

Although it had been generally
recognized for several weeks that the
iilness of Mr. R. C. Allein could hardly
turn out otherwise than the worst
land thut with but little respite, the
death of this (gentleman came as a
distinct shock to the entire community.
A man of high Ideals and fine
principles which ineluded broad and
generous charity with a moat whole- j
some interest in the well-being of his
fellows, Mr. Allein enjoyed the respect
and esteem erf an pnpsually large
circle of acquaintances in the' town of j
Yorkvillc and throughout the surrounding
country, and in his death j
many of, these feel a sense of loss that
is exceeded only by the members of
his devoted family. A giost excellent
citizen was Mr. Allein.
The EnquiVer 4A a communication
from Mr.- (2. C:1f>ce?& df .Hill,
stating that the statement in this pa
per/lasti Fritby. to the pfrect that he
is charge^ wtth ^ell^K^ JrirjiaTbS*gin^ger
was incorrect. The charge made
against him is alleged to be the sale
of extracts and medical compounds
only. He states that while he has sold
such commodities he has never sold
the in except for legitimate purposes,
and the charge .-.against him' is not,
based on facft.' ftc is not a lawbreaker,
he says, and he requests a suspension
of judgnien$ one way or the other
until there has been a full disclosure
of the faqts. The statement in
The Enquirer was made by a representative
of the paper who obtained
his information in Rock Hill; but who
did not see the warrant. There is no
intention or desire to do Mr. Deese\Jnjustice
so far as The Enquirer Is concerned,
and his request for a suspension
of Judgment pending a development
of the facts is manifestly reasonable
and proper.
OFFICERS MADE BIO HAUL
Prohibition bflicers operating in |
York county destroyed a distillery of
about 100 gallop capacity in King's
Mountain township within a short
distance of the North Carolina line last
week. The operatives of the distillery
were not present when the officers
came, having it^clvod Warning in seine
way that the officers were coming. The
big pot was hot and the fire had been
almost extinguished by means of pouring
water upon^it. A quantity of beer
estimated at 1,000 gallons contained in
four big vats was poured out upon the
ground and about three quarts of
freshly made liquor fell to the officers.
The distillery was found to be complete.
% Officers operating Friday destroyed
a distillery on what is known as the
Caldwell place, the property of J. W.
Smith, about six miles west of Yorkvillo.
There was nothing to indicate
that the distillery had been in operation j
recently.

Yorkville had a distinguished visi- j '
nm liioi rauuu?i> in intr i'uiouii ifi mi.
Bright Williamson the well-known (
farmer -and banker of Darltngtoo. He ^
was on his way to Shelby, N. C., accompanied
by Mrs. Williamson and J
Mrs. J. M. Forbis, and stopped over v
here on account of former association s
he having been a student at the p
King's Mountain Military school in
the early seventies. Although it was
his brother, Mclver who published it {
to the world, it is commonly under- j
stood, that it was Bright Williamson |
who worked out what is known as the
"Williamson plan" of corn cultivation.
Both Mclver and Bright Wil-j
liamson arc extensive farmers; but
Bright has always farmed more extensively
than Mclver. Both are bank- s
crs. Hright's wife was a Shelby lady, C
ami many readers of this will r.emem- e

King's Mountain. "They told me that
[ would lose a good deal ?6f time on
iccount of extra traveling to come by
Yorkvillc," he said; "but I find that
[ have really come by tho shortest
and most direct route.' After taking
dinner at the Shandon hotel, and
Willia-maqn said it was a good one,
Mr. Williamson looked up a number
7t acquaintances, some of them former
schoolmates, and spent an hour
or two quite pleasantly. Ho asked
ubout the late .J. R. Schorb", Mr.. Zurcher,
Cof. McCorkle and several of the
leading citizens of tba old days, not
teeming to realizo that if they were
here they would be well over a hundred
years old. But Mr. Williamson
and tho ladies all seemed to enjoy
their brief stay very much, and so did
the friends' and acquaintances who
met them.

? j. H- Marion, Esq., of Chester, dtliv.
ed an address in the Yorkville
Associate Reformed church last
Sunday morning on furtherance of
the Forward Movement by which the
church intends to raise a fund of
$350,000 for Christian education. Mr.
Marion, who deservedly ranks as one
of the most able and eloquent Lawyefr
of the South Carolina .bar, demonstrated
in his address that he is fully
as much at home in the' religious and
spiritual field as in the legal field. His
address was .not only eloquent but
eminently orthodox and practical.' Ho
devoted but little time explaining the
need for the money, bssumlng that
this was beyond dispute; but he did
emphasize the privilege and duty that
has developed upon every church i^ember
in connection with the work that
has been undertaken. Ho represented
the great war as the result of a
conflict of ideas and urged most earnestly
that the material parti.of the
conflict, that which Involved flesh and
blood, machinery, applied science,
and things physical were only feeble
indications of the mighty spiritual"
conflict that was invisibly progressing
above and among the fighters, and
this part of they conflict, he declared
is still going on with fury that is unabated,
and' that cannot bo abated
until- the final triumph of tho dispensation
that Jesus Christ brought into
the wqrld and consecrated in his life
and death. The mission of the church
and of those who profess Christianity,
he declared, is to establish as the controlling
law of human affairs, the
Golden Rule, which commands that
what you would have men^o unto
you do even so unto them?land obedience
to that new commandment
which requires that, you love your
neighbor as yourself. He declared that
the great war would never have occurred
under observance of. these
principles, and also he declared that
until these principles are established
In controlling and invincible power
throughout the world, Christianity
has rot accomplished its mission and
professing Christians have not made
good their professions. After hearing
his address, some j>f the audience
who are not fully cognizant of Mr.
Marion's splendid ability as a lawyer
declared that he had missed his calling?that
he should have been a
preacher.
