Incidentally they registered vigorous protests with the delegation in regard to high taxation. maiiing u piain mat iney uiougni 111 we should l?c a pruning "f expenses wherever possible. The only expression from the delegation in regard, to I the high tax rale came from Senator-! elect Hart, presiding, who stated that j while lie was in favor of reducing the levy as much as possible he would not . agree to milling down the revenues] being raised for the support of the! rural schools. \Y.

Wants Road Changes. \Y. T. Meamguard, chairman of the j King's Mountain Township road com- j mission, asked the delegation for the passage of an act making the road ; through the village of Filbert between i Yorkville and Clover the official North road of I he county. Mr. Meamguard's I argument was that the state highway! commission had designated the road j past Filbert as the North road and was] working on it nr^w. I'mler the Stewart I iaw I he old Lincoln road past the resi- ; donee of H. \Y. Witherspoon was or-; lieially recognized hy the county as the ' >iTin man, iimi minify wuum in* by i:i:niiiK tlii.s road over li> the totvn-[ ship supervisor fur maintenance with ! tin1 underst.iudin;? that rnu.st of the . iitiuly I'liinls iro tu the Filbert roail as 1 tin* North load. Mr. I <-am;ruard also wanted some! kind of legislation to >;ovorn the size \ loads that automobile trucks he allow- j t d to haul over the roads. A North: Carolina truck hauling from t!0 to Sn j cross ties at a load on the road lie-t twei-n It'-lhany and Clover has in the past few weeks done thousands of dollars of damme- to that road, he said. If some restrictions are not put tin the hia triieks it will he impossible to maintain the stood roads of Kind's .Mountain township, he said. Bethel Roads. .lesso It. I'onl of Melhel township wanted the Lincoln, road past the Withers: place to remain as the of. i lirial North road, lie also asked the delegation to provide funds fur I lie j maintsiin.ance of the Clover-Wright's Kerry road which splits i Set lad tmvn-j ship. It was over this road that most people would have to travel to get to . tin- Inidire over tin* fulnwhsi that York an<l Aleeklenhtir.tr roiinliis an* iroint? to 1 i ;It vm-v III tie money oa this road. 1l' l'ethel township could act her .sharo of tlti* automobile tax money it would an far toward the mnintnancc of this road, lie said. .1. S. I h ire.

This the Icii-sration will do. .Mr. I Sri ailed attention to the far: ; that iiethiii.ir definite had ever hern done hy the commissioners of York and .Meeklenhtira cotinlies in n-trard to the 1 ?iiIdi:i*.r of a luidpv over Catawha river at ti point near W'rifjht's l-'erry.

"I think you oiti;lil to consider your road law sonic. We have in tins county loo many road Worses and too many road commissions.

I diin'l know what is West hut it appears o m - licit instead of ail these com-| missions one commission would be Seller." .Mr. I trice .-aid that there was much dissatisfaction in the coiiuiy with the late highway s\sli m ami there was i fcetiim liiat the hiiihway eommistoii .-dio'ild employ competent en-j tin-ers rather tiittit amateurs, lie airip-sti-d for York county a county; highway cnmniissioa with an < nirineer who is competent.

I Favors New Government Plan. Sam M. Grist urged the delegation to adopt the Lancaster plan of county government. Experience had proven, I ] he said that the Lancaster county plan J was the most economical and efficient < form. The plan is to appoint a commission of good business men who shall appoint an engineer and other assistants and manage the affairs or the county as they would manage their i own business. j ( Mr. Grist said that this plan was in !( practice in Darlington and Marlboro i j counties also and that they were ins, charge of nvn who were not politicians < and who had not political interests. | lie believed that tho plan would work j ill l ni'K cnumy ii uiu uuii'Ki.iuuii mm j j "the nerve to try it." | Would Discharge Agents. t J. K. Lotvry told the delegation that j ? as a tax payor ho. wanted to raise a I ' general kick against high taxes. "We < want you to do all the trimming possl- 1 ble this year," he told the delegation, r lie suggested that the services of the t county farm demonstration agent, the I woman .-> home demonstration agent and the compulsory attendance officers be dismissed as a starter. j 1 Jack Dyers of Bcthesda township i was of the opinion that there were a > number of unnecessary officers in -the i county. Mr. Dyers said that there were j two many incompetents in the employ s <..* the state highway commission. Ho i thought that Superintendent of Education Carroll and the school trustees 11 could enforce the compulsory school j i attendance law. There was no need for j .> the farm demonstration agent and the i ( woman's home demonstration agent, j S Me was in favor uf fewer officers and I c better officers. j ( S. C. Dyers favored the kicking out j i of ilit* stale tax commission and lotting j i the local boards of equalization do thcl work'. J. S. Briee, Esq., suggested the! l enactment of a state law making uni- i 1 form the fees of the clerk of the court j r and fixing those fees rather than re- ; i quiring the clerk to do it. He also j c favored a uniform method of satisfy- j j ing mortgages, the present method! r which is different in most of the court- j ties, being rather slipshod. < Would Put Them on Gang, f Magistrate R. L. A. Smith of Broad 1 Rivet* wanted the compulsory education laws so amended that when per-!1 sons wore lined for not sending their j( children to school they would have to 1 pay those tines. As matters stand now.' 1 there is no way to force a convicted j parent or guardian to pay the fine im- ; ' posed by the magistrate. The magis- j * irate'also wanted the liquor laws so;1 amended that any person found at a j ' distillery would be as guilty under the 1 law as the man making liquor. He j wanted I lie law changed so as to | 1 provide for :i chaingang sentence of j ^ two years for the first conviction on j r charges of handling lifiuor. Ho would leave no alternative of a fine. m j FOLLOWS HIS KING 1 t Chauffeur of Late Greek Ruler Takes \ His Own Life.

Quinn, who is also he jailer for York county, had a total >f ninety-two "quests" at the jail durng the year 1020, according' to a com >ilation made this morning by The I'orkville Enquirer. In addition to the Prisoners held in the jail for alleged of' nses against the state of South Carolina. there were several Federal prisoners in iho jail serving sentences during he year and a number of prisoners . ommitted by policemen of the town of i'orkville. Most of these latter were Trunks who spent a night and left the ie.\t morning carrying a hang-over nore or less severe, all dependent upon lie quality of the liquor that they had jeen drinking. Miscellaneous Offenses. Prisoners committed to jail during 1920 were charged with offenses rangng from murder to using livestock .vithout the consent of the owner. Durng the year eight lunatics were held in all for a few days until they could be egularly committed to the state hos>ital for tho insane in Columbia. V.'liile ninety-two is quite a large lumber of prisoners the number pales nto insignificance as compared with iomc of Hie other counties of South Carolina notably Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg. Charleston and Richland :ounties. There were only three prison;rs committed to jail during the year n charges of murder, the smallest lumber perhaps in recent years. Many Liquor Law Violators. Prisoners committed to jail during 920 011 charges of housebreaking and arceny equaled in number those comnitted on charges of violation of the iquor laws. There were seventeen of >ach. Of course liquor charges were referred during the year against a nucli larger number than seventeen ersons; but in all instances except seventeen, the defendants managed to jive bond and thus escaped a sojourn it the county hotel. The number of persons charged with issault and battery with intent to kill:ame next sifter the liquor law violai?rs and the housebreakers. They were ifteen in number. Three prisoners charged with car jreaklng were committed during the ear. and two prisoners were commlt,cd on charges of receiving stolen roods. Three were charged with obit ining money on false pretense One prisoner was committed during ho year on a charge of passing a worthless check. There were two comnitments on charges of rape. Few Pistol Toters. Xot many pislol toters had to go to ail for that offense last year, the jail eeord showing that there were only wo commitments where that offense vas charged. One prisoner was charged with a nisrtomeanor; two wore held on charges if assault. One negro was arrested mil convicted during the year for puting rocks in a bale of cotton. There wore nine commitments on barges of petit larceny. Men stuck to their wives pretty well 11 York county last year. The record iliows that there was only one prisoner n the jail during the year on charges f abandonment of wife. Bond Hard to Obtain. Most of those prisoners arrested in he early months of the year, notably n the spring and summer, had no rouble in obtaining bond and in most nstanees were released after being in lie custody of the sheriff a few days. Hut in the fall conditions changed uul bond was not so ensly obtainable; Hie to the financial tightening up all ilong the line. The sheriff starts the year 1921 with ibout eight prisoners in his charge and ndications are that they are going to villain in his custody until their cases ire disposed of through the courts. Yw people just now are in need of lands and there are numerous people vho have no idea when they will need lands; therefore it is no easy matter tinis!,, who have fallen into the toils if the law to find bondsmen. ?
