? 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,

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

? 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.

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

relative to the closing of the

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

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

numbers and from every direction.

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

? About 300 bales of cotton were

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. .. . , . .
The lot and yard already offered to
sellers and buyers are going to be.
available again next Saturday from 8 to
12 o'clock, the same as last Saturday,
and on each Saturday afterward until
further notice: but in the effort to get
; n J
things started on a more ^pecinc dUU
definite basis here is another suggestion.
Let the Yorkvilie Enquirer have a
list of people who will say that they
will come to the lot of the Yorkvilie
Enquirer or the yard of W. D. Grist,
adjoining, on Saturday morning June
25 between 8 and 12 o'clock prepared
to buy a certain amount of country
produce and let The Yorkvilie Enquirer
have a list of people who will
say that they will be at this place at
the time mentioned and the Yorkvilie
Enquirer will publish both lists in its
issue of Tuesday June 21.
These lists should reach The Yorkvilie
Enquirer office by not later than
Monday, June 20, so as to be sure of
being classified for publication next
day.
With these lists published next Tuesday
ghowing what is to be expected on
the next Saturday?June 25?there
should be some business.
It is to be hoped that there will be
no confusion. Eoth buyers and sellers

that he had purchased from Mr. J. A.
Tate the 0. E. Wilkins residence on
the corner of West Madison street and Wright
avenue. He said to friends
that he and his wife both had become
very much impressed with the town
from the time of their first arrival in
it, and they desire to make this place
their future home.. He said that he

would do, but he had more'than half
a mind to quit the rpad and settle

handsome residence otfiwhich Mr. King
has become the owner/'-is* understood to
