The campaign "to raise $33,000,000 of the Methodist Episcopal church, o fthe Methodist J2pisQppal church, South, officially ended'"1'aSt" Sunday, it was announced at general headquarters at Nashville, Tenn. While the exact amount obtained will not be known for several'; days, directors of the campaign' expressed confidence that the $33,000,000 was raised. ? The British foreign officef declared a few days ago thai it was "asked sometime ago to take action regarding extradition of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the nortorious American slacker, from TtmFoc- tn VlCI HUXilJ'* AU<naip;&V&V?? VU VV -mr-m. ? .. apd hothing.has been heard of it since then.: If the Canadian government decides an extraditable offense has been committed, it 'will, ask. the British government to demand that Bergdoll be given up, which will then be done. The foreign office said if the American slacker forged a passport or bribed someone to secure one the case is extraditable, but it has to be proven. At any- Tate Canada will not be able to run him bver to the United States, us under international law it must try him only for the offense for which he was extradited. ? The American Federation of Labor was urged to conduct a publicity of nearly .$2,500,000. by John W. Hay, president of the union label trades department of the federation, in an address before the department's convention at Denver, Colorado last Thursday. He said such a campaign was necessary at thia/time .to gain publicsupport for the trades union movement. "Employers organizations opposed to trades unions," said Mr. Hays, "have been using publicity to destroy labor organizations. Large sums of money have'beefh. -Expended to take public sentiment away from us. I believe the only way to direct it into right channels is to give the absolute facts to this large portion of the public that is being alienated from us." Five cents a month' from the federation, he said, woul<T*'coyer the cost of the campaign.

"A strenuous and continued fight is being made," he added, "for the reason that the interests that buy office employers concede the 44-hour week, they will be boycotted and their business ruined." ? Rear Admiral Sims was ordered home from London Saturday by Secretary Denby as a result of his recent attacking Sinn Fein sympathizers in the United States. The secretary explained that he had received no reply from the officer in response to his message inquiringJLf press .despatches had,.quoted correctly excerpts from the speech, and had decided to revoke the remainder of -the admiral's leave and .ordered him to. report here immediately. The order, however, was not - expected to expedite Admiral ' Sims' return from England, as he had already planned to return on the liner Olympic, which sails tomorrow, and is the first available ship for passage. Admiral Sims had announced' that he would sail for home from England on June 15. He was granted leave of obsense to go abroad to receive a degree from an English university. ' The-naval secretary's cablegram, sent Saturday to the officer said: "Remainder yo&r leave revoked. You will return tojthe United States immediately and report in*perg&n; to'the'-secretary of navy. Acknowledge." ? At Cincinnati Saturday afternoon, thousands of persons from all walks of life paid their last tribute to the memory of Colonel Frederick W. Galbraith, na*ional commander of the American legion, who lost his life last. Thursday morning in an automobile accident in Indianapolis. The funeral services were held in Music Hall under the auspices of the American legion. Every one of the four thousand seats in the auditorium;'of the hall was taken. The obsequies were marked by I great simplicity. Brief orations were delivered by Rev. John- Harget, who was the chaplain of the 147th infantry, which was commanded by Colonel Galbraith in France: Rev. Frederick | McMillan, who also was an overseas chaplain; Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, who represented the federal government; former Congressman Victo Meintz, of Ohio. | who was a captain under Galbraith; Colonel Franklin D'Olier, former com- j mander of the "legion and Mariel Knecht, director of the French information service in the United States, who was the official representative of the.French government. ? At Warsaw, Indiana, last Friday, j Virgil Decker, IS year old farmer boy, | vvas found guilty of murder in the first I degree in connection with the death of Leroy Lovett, his associate by a jury j in circuit court. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. The jury was out less than three hours. Young Decker showed no emotion when the verdict j was read to the court or when sen- [ tence was passed. Decker was accused of murdering Lovett, said to have been his "double," as the outcome of an alleged conspiracy between j members of the Decker family to kill Lovett. claim his body as that of Decker and collect $24,000 in life insurance. The Decker case is of the strangest ever coming to the attention of the Indiana authorities. Saturday night, March 12, a. young man was found in a dying condition on a railroad crossing near Maurbon, Ind. He died without regaining consciousness. The body was identified as that of Virgil Decker by members of the Decker family. The following Monday the body was identifiediby Samuel Lovett of Elkhart. Ind., as that of his son, Leroy, and Tuesday night Virgil Decker was arrested at' the home of his uncle in Marion, Ind. Young Decker was brought to Warsaw where >votwnc lnrisred in nail, and a few days later the Kosciuszko county Rrand jury indicted hirn with his two brothers, Calvin and Fred Decker, and his mother, Mrs. Lydia. Decker, for the murder of young' Lovett, The other members of the Decker family are in jail awaiting trial the date of which has not been set. ? Roy A. Hayner, of Hillsboro, 0.. entered Saturday upon the duties of national prohibition commissioner as the successor to John F. Kramer, of Mansfield, O., the first federal prohibition enforcement officer. He said that while he had not as yet formulated any general policy, he brought to his new office the best of his energy and ability. Upon relinquishment <<f the . post which ho has held since November 17, 1319, Mr. Kramer issued a formal statement setting forth some of the more important problems before the new commissioner. To make Mr. Haynes' burden easier Mr. Kramer suggested that congress enact a law giving him authority to limit the number of prescriptions for whiskey which physicians may issue and the quantity of whiskey which may lie manufactured and imported and to prevent the use of whiskey in which alcohol has customarily been used. Mr. Haynes said he had no general poliqy, as yet for the conduct of the prohibition office, but. that he hoped he The house last Saturday agreed by a j vote of 20S to 105 to vote yesterday on the Porter resolution terminating' the war between the United Suites and the Central powers. It seems that the whole business is purely a party question, the Republicans in support of the j resolution and the Democrats opposed, j But the matter is not settled yet. The ! senate having passed the Knox resolution repealing the declaration of war may insist on standing to that. The Porter resolution goes much further in that it seeks to preserve to the United I idea of bullying Mexico; but the United States must have what is right. Mr. Harding's stand on the question of sending an American ambassador to the Vatican is truly American. The golden fundamental of the constitution of the United States is the one which declares that the church and state shall be forever separate, if diplomatic relations with the Vatican mean anything they mean violation of this fundamental. AVe are not conscious of any undue prejudice against the lioman Catholic church; but we are opposed to vesting any church with temporal power or of recognising the temporal power of any church. Jesus Christ never sanctioned the use of temporal power in his name, notwithstanding the fact that he had "more than twelve legions of angels" at his command and a Christian church | should never seek temporal power nor sanction the argument of such power I in its name. jtelligent and, consistent exponents or the late deflation policy of the Federal Reserve system, is especially concerned that the sins of the reserve board be not visited on John Skelton Williams, former comptroller of the currency. In a recent issue the Manufacturers Record again calls attention to the fact that last summer when the Federal Reserve board was getting its ruinous contraction scheme under way. Mr. Williams was still calling public attention to the circumstance that two billion dollars of additional credit could be extended without imperiling the reserve position. Mr. Williams has no sympathy whatever with the board's deflation policy. President Obregon of Mexico, intimates that the Hughes treaty will not be signed because it includes conditions to which Mexico cannot acceegl without loss of sovereignty, etc. As The Yorkville Enquirer understands this treaty, it requires nothing of Mexico except that Mexico must accord to citizens of the United States the same rights and privileges she accords to the citizens of other nations and under the same conditions. Of course, if Mr. Obregon does not want to agree to as fair a proposition as that, it is up to him to do the worrying, because the United States is going to exact anyway, about all; that | Mr. Hughes has stipulated in that ! treatv. No, the United States has no have handled prohibition enforcement up to this time. Of course mistakes have been made and Palmer did not show up well; but under all the circumstances it was unreasonable to expect (more than has been done in so short a time. But from now on progress should be made rapidly and to secure more rapid progress penalties must be more drastic. If the Federal government expects the people to respect other laws it must make them objpy the prohibition law. The North Carolina State Highway commission has adopted a blue print of proposed Asheville-Charlotte-Wilmington Highway that leaves ^Cleveland Springs off the route when by a divergence of only a mile or two Cleveland Springs can be included over a road as good as those to be traveled in leaving that place. The Charlotte Observer has called attention to the facts in a clear and comprehensive statement which seems to make it unthinkable that the North Carolina State Highway commission would fail to revise its route sufficiently to bring in such an important point as Cleveland Springs. The Manufacturer's Record, which has all along been one of the most in could bring home to the people of the country a full appreciation of the importance of the eighteenth amendment. "I am deeply sensible," he said, "of the high honor accorded me in my appointment to the office of federal prohibition commissioner, but I am more deeply sensible of the tremendous responsibility involved. At this tipie I merely want to state that I expeet\to bring to the administration of the office every ounce of ability and energy there is in me." Mr. Kramer, the retiring commissioner, said that while he had not yet definitely decided. upon his future place, he would probably return to Mansfield and engage in the practice of law there. She fiiW (Snqmm. Entered at the Postoffice at York, as Mail Matter of the Second Class. TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1921. Every time that Sims opens his mouth he leaves the impression that in his opinion all Americans are still subject to Great Britain and that he is the only one who is loyal. In the view of the Yorkville Enquirer there is no reasonable criticism nf the manner in which the Democrats States all the rights and privileges that would have accrued under the Versailles treaty. It is possible that the senate and house will deadlock so as to hold the situation statu quo until the problem can be worked out on more satisfactory lines, with the Republican party having apparently saved its face in the meantime. Among the objections urged against the adoption of the Porter peace resolution by the house was one to the ef feet that its passage would evidence bad faith to the Allies. The answer was th'at all the Allies knew that the Versailles treaty could not be of binding force as concei is the United States until ratified by the senate, and yet the other Allies, without waiting for the United States, 'have gone ahead and established relations with the Central powers, leaving the United States all alone. In spite of this the United States had withheld action on the peace treaty pending a satisfactory settlement by Germany of the reparations question, in which question the United States has no direct pecuniary interest. As we see it, there is nothing In the objection stated, and the United States is under .no moral obligation to the Allies in regard to the matter; but still we are in the doubting class as to whether there is any real intention on the part of congress to settle the matter at this time by resolution and we will remain in that class until techni cal peace is finally definitely established.

Matthews, June 11: WhHe on his way to Sandy Run Lutheran church today a young man by the name of Livingston was held up by three soldiers from Camp Jackson and brutally beaten, stripped of his clothing, robbed of the car in which he was riding, tied hand and foot and left in the woods. Young Livingston was engaged in carrying relatives to and from church. He had taken some of his people home and was returning for another load. He overtook the three soldiers and was ordered to stop. They got in the car, taking the back seat. After they had gotten in one of them struck Livingston in the head with a pistol rendering him unconscious. They then took charge of the car and drove into the woods near Cridois' springs on the state road. The boy was stripped of his clothing and tied hand and foot. He was then left. After the party had gone the boy regained consciousness, worked himself free and went to a negro house and gave the alarm. Sheriff Hill was immediately notified and was soon upon the scene. L'jKin his arrival he was informed that the soldiers in the stolen h.id already oassed through St. Matthews and were on their way to- | ward Charleston. He communicated at once with citizens at Ellorce, who waylaid the road. In a few minutes the soldiers appeared. Magistrate Evans and Rural Policeman Ballard had assembled a pood force and when the soldiers appeared, found themselves at once in their clutches. Sheriff Hill was soon on the scene and arrived at. Elloree within a few minutes after the soldiers were arrested. They had in their possession an ordinary $32 Smith & "Wesson pistol, two hand baps and the clothes of the assaulted I boy. The men admitted the assault and made statements, giving their names, address and the details of the affair as above related. The names as piven are Herbert Annie, Brockton, I Mass., Eeslie \V. Edson, Whitman. I Mass.: G. B. Logan, Eureka, Cal. Ho- j pan says that lie is the one that struck I the hoy, but says that the others assisted in the other parts of the affair. The entire community at Sandy Run at once turned out to pivo the sheriff all assistance possible and the sheriff states thai .cooperation on the part of the citizens both at Sandy Run and Elloree was snlendid. The men are tonipht in jail here under warrants eharpinp them with the offense. Considerable excitement prevailed for a time throughout the community. Exorcises of the nay acum-inn^ iu present plans will begin at 4.30 Tliurs- i day afternoon when iirst section work t of the Hlue Lorifre will bo done. At I 5.30 a meeting of-the Grand Lodge will i bo held. Exercises .in ] connection with the 1 mates, together with the fact that abundant rains have insured harvests 'where none were thought possible, have fortunately brought about a radical change in the famine relief situation. This change means that the pressing needs have now been met. The American committee feels, therefore, that the task for which it was appointed has been accomplished, and plans for demobilization, including the gathering in of monies now in the hands of the local committees, will at once begin. The American committee, upon the suggestion of the committee in China, has been studying how best to develop plans for the prevention or relief of future famines in China, and such funds as are received in excess of actual famine relief needs or as may be contributed to the China Famine fund by reason of activities now under way will be devoted to that purpose or such other post-famine problems as the committee may decide." TO LAY CORNERSTONE All members of Philanthropic Lodge Xo. 32, A. P. AL of Yorkvlllo and members, of other lodges throughout this section are expected in Yorkville Thursday afternoon for the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of the new municipal building. Sam T. Lnnham of Spartnnbrug, grand master of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina: will preside over the exercises of the i day. O. Frank Hart of Columbia, C. : K. Chreitzbcrg of Rock Hill and other i officers of the grand lodge arc ex- i ported tfi he present for the occasion, i handle their machines, without assistance and they pever call for us except when there is something 'real bad wrong and that is not often. Also I think the tractors generally are doing about all that we ever promised for them and in many cases, even more." The collector: of internal revenue is showing signs "of increasing attention to get the government's share of all income derived from pay entertainments, of whatever;naftire,'including baseball, etc. The , collector insists that every ticket of admission must have clearly stated on It, the admission price, the government tnjl and total charge. The tax amounts toi'ten per cent. Say the admission price is 25 cents. Then the ticket must show "Admission 25 cents, revenue tax 3 ^ents; total 28 cents." Ten per cent, if 25 Is 2 1-2; but ths rule provides that fractions must be treated as whole numbers and in most cases conductors of amusements for which the nominal charge would be 25 cents are inclined to adopt either 20 or 30 cents, making the total with the tax 22 cents or 33 cents respectively. Mostly because of ignorance, the law has not been generally observed; bMt just now the revenue department has its agents looking after every baseball game or other amusement to see that the government gets what is coming to it. Thomas W. Lamont, chairman of the American committee for China fawine fund, has issued the following statement relative to the closing of the fund: "The American committee for j China famine fund has received a cablegram from Pekin, confirmed by the American minister, to the effect that the recent generous contributions by the Chinese people in excess of esti LaCAL: AFFAIRS, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS ' Peoples Bank and Trust Company?

There are good judges who say that the present cotton crop will be raised at about one-third the cost of last year's crop; but even at that it is still a question as to whether the crop will bring a profit on the market. The penalties on deferred payment of taxes in York county this year amount to approximately $6,000. A considerable p^rt of this sum was collected in due course and the balance remains to be collected under execution. "No, we are not selling as many tractors this year as we sold last year ?nothing like it," said Mr. J. Albert Riddle, a few days ago in answer to a question. "To be perfecLly frank about it," he went on, "we are only selling a Fordson occasionally; but I find this to be the case.

At a called meeting of Bethel Presbytery,, held with the First Presbyte hf "Vorkvilie, yesterday nan unuicui _ morning, Rev. A. E. Spencer, of Bowling "Green, pastor of Bowling Green and Beth-Shiloh churches, offered his resignation. Presbytery ordered that the pastoral relations between Mr. Spencer and the two churches be dissolved and granted him permission to labor outside the bounds of the Presbytery. It is understood that he will move with his family to Florida, where he will be engaged in Sunday school work Attending the meeting of presbytery in Yorkville yesterday morning, were I the following ministers and elders: Revs. J. E. Berryhill, Clover, moderator; F. H. Wardlaw, Guthriesville. stated clerk; R. C. Wilson, McConnellsville; G. W. Nickell, Bethel; E. E. Gillespie, Yorkville; Elders G. W. Fiannagan, Bowling Green; B.-R. T. Bowen, Beth-Shiloh; J. McC. Moore, Bethesda. It was not stated when Rev. Spencer would take up the duties of his new position. FAILED TO GET LICENSE Miss Mary Leagean of Canaan, N. C. wanted to marry Clyde Jarvis of Farmville, N. C., very badly last week but not bad enough to tell an untruth in order to get the necessary marriage certificate from Judge of Probate J. L. Houston in Yorkville. For Miss Leagean, it developed is only 1G, and a marriage license can't be issued in York county to a girl who is only 16, unless the written consent of the parents accompanies the application or else the parents themselves. The parents of the young lady were not especially anxious for her to marry young Jarvis so they were not along. The young couple came to Fort Mill Wednesday from their North Carolina home. There they learned they would have to go before Probate Judge Houston in Yorkville to get license. In a short time they were in the county seat. When the judge asked the young woman her age she replied "sixteen." Then it was explained that it would bo necessary for her to have the consent of her parents. , She informed the judge they wouldn't give it. So back to Fort Mill they went and from there to Chester in the hope that the probate judge of that county would be caught napping and not ask her age. What luck they had in unesier nu> not been learned. LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET While the proposed local produce market for which the Yorkville Enquirer is trying to open the way has not developed at once any more than was expected, there is evidence of considerable interest in the subject, both practical and theoretical. Quite a number of people brought their prodnce such as butter, eggs, chickens, fruits, vegetables, etc., to The Yorkville Enquirer lot last Saturday morning: but fir ling no buyers on hand went their usua rounds of the stores and homes look ,ig for purchasers among regular and transient customers until they had disposed of their stocks. One man came along with an automobile load of peaches, apples, chickens and the like and wanted to enow whether or not there was some ine on hand to take charge of his dock, sell it-out and pay him over.the money, and of course it was explained .< 6G, American Legion, tenaers yuu us deepest sympathy in your great grief and is fully aware of the great loss suffered in the deuth of our great chief." ? Announcement was made this morning that the Lockmore Cotton Mills will build, an addition 100x143 feet to the present manufacturing plant cast of the Southern depot. Construction work under the supervision of Contractor Padgett, of Rock mil will begin right away. The addition will cost about $10,000 and will be constructed with a view to the installation of more machinery. Super- . intendent F. C. Wood of the mill said this morning that while present plans did not call for the building of additional houses just now such houses 1 might be built in the not far distant future. The mill management, it is understood, is very anxious to get the new addition in operation and construction work will be pushed as rapidly' as possible. ? Mr. Jack King, of the Jack King i Comedians, made public announcement , i building on ?.j w., ? Joining the Carolina & North-Western j railway property. The brick work is ' well underway. ? Messrs. Sherer & Quinn and W. E. Ferguson give notice that they will join the Thursday afternoon closing movement, and the understanding is that others who did not close last Thursday will close next Thursday. ? People who have seen it have greatly admired the beautiful work on an emblem pillow that Miss Jessie Baber has presented to the club room of the Meech' Stewart Post of the American legion. ? Miss Maybeile Walker has the I young people, tremendously interested | in the Mother Goose Pageant to be given on the lawn of Trinity Church next Friday evening. All are working with earnest enthusiasm, and they are going to make a great show of it. ? A meeting of the York county Medical Association of which Dr. Jaca Ward of the Fennell Infirmary, Rock Hill, is president, is being hied in American Legion Hall here today. A number of physicians of the county are in attendance. ? The swimming pool being erected on the Montgomery lands north-east of Yorkville is nearing completion and will be ready for use. One enterprising firm has already gotten in stock an attractive display of bathing suits and a good many of them have already been sold. ? The management of the American Legion baseball team has made arrangements to place wire on the Yorkville Graded school baseball diamond for the protection of fans. A few benches for the accomodation of lady patrons of the game are also being Installed. ? Meech Stewart Post, No. G6, American Legion, on Friday wired Mrs. F. W. Galbraith, Cincinnati, Ohio, wife of Col. F. W. Galbraith, national commander of the American Legion, who was killed in an automobile accident last week: "Meech Stewart Post, No, are invited'to come nexi kSUlUluajr the same basis they were invited to come last Saturday; but there will be no publication of names next Friday, for the reason that the paper cannot be circulated among the people of the country in time to give them desired information as to prospective customers. By postponement of publication to the next Tuesday, there is ample time for those who will act quickly, (which means right now), to let it be known that they will lend their efforts to put the proposed central market on its feet at the earliest possible moment. J It is in tHe mind of The Yorkville Enquirer that if the market idea can be made a go sufficient to warrant, there will be no trouble in providing a public lot with all facilities to make of a local market a useful and permanent institution. In the meantime, let The Yorkville Enquirer have the names of local people who will be on hand as probable customers on Saturday, June 25, and the names, of the venders of produce who will be there with their goods and let us have those names not later than next Monday evening. Please let the information come by letter or postal card, if possible. WITHIN THE TOWN ? All indications point to a great day on July 4. People are coming in large numbers and from every direction. ? And still, there are those who will speed their cars on Main street. Looks ike they just cannot help it. ? What is the remedy for the idiot who while driving a team is constantly looking behind instead of to the ront? ? About 300 bales of cotton were sold on the local market last week according to Robert E. McClure, public cotton weigher for Yorkville. ? Good progress is being made on the | construction work of the new city hall T Ikoi.Hr Gtrppf to him that there was nothing: in the idea except that buyers and sellers should have the free use of a central lot that had been provided merely to facilitate their getting: together. The idea here is merely the old city market proposition on a small scale. The idea is to get the people who have things to sell to bring these things to a central point and the people who want to buy things to come there and select what they want. Among the advantages to be derived, provided the idea can be developed in accordance with plans is to bring jr.to contact and familiar intercourse all sellers and buyers, establish uniformity of prices on a basis of quality and quantity, and to facilitate sales at a saving of time, labor and uncertainty on the part of both sellers and buyers. The elementary essential to the establishment of a central market of course, is the coming together of buyers and sellers. If the seller comes along with his goods and finds no buyer there is nothing doing and like; wise if buver comes along with his money and finds no one to buy from -.id nothing to buy, he goes on his way. .. . , . .
