other day about politics and other
things, Hon. James Henry Rice, Jr., of
Wiggins, S. C., went on to say. "I would
like to see the University Law School
abolished, absolutely. This would be a
tremendous gain; and if this cannot
be done, make every gradunte ineligible
to hold public office for ten years
after he graduates. The purifying effect
on our politics would be visible
within a brief period."
Expecting Short Crop.
"Because of the damage done by the
boll weevil we aro expecting a mighty
short cotton crop in our neighborhood,"
said S. A. Mitchell of Sharon No. 1, who
was in Yorkville the other day. "The
cotton has begun to open now," said
Mr. Mitchell; "but there is no difficulty
in seeing that the yield is going to be
mighty light." Mr. Mitchell was not
inclined to be cast down about it. "It
could be worse," )ie said, "and I guess
we will get along somenuw.

Miss Melinda Melville, 39, says shfe
is rapidly learning the new dances.
She says all one has to do to acquire
the art is to stand on the ball room
floor and imagine that twelve chiggers
were biting one at the same time
Bill Biflfem is sure that his wife is going
to vote Just exactly like he wanted
her to vote today. Mrs. Biflfem asked
Bill about it and he insisted that she
vote for a candidate that Bill bitterly
opposed. He knew that was the way
" to get her to come across on the right
side. He allows as how he 's going to
tell her tomorrow how he put one over
on her.
Meat for Chaingang."
"You will see that we are count"ng
on raising a part of our meat supply,
anyway." remarked Jim Robinson or
the York county chaingang guard, as
he showed Views and Interviews the
hog pasture out at the chaingang stockade
the other afternoon. "We have
eight hogs here that we are feeding off
of slop from the chaingang kitchen,"
Robinson went on to say. "They have
had nothing else so far to cat and right
now they will average 200 pounds
They ought to go around 300 pounds
each by killing time. We have 52 convicts
at the present time, however, and
it takes a lot of meat to feed them."
New Church for Sharon.
"The Sharon A. R. P. congregation is
beginning to get busy with plans for
improving the church property," said
a citizen of Sharon who was in Yorkvino
yesterday. "Subscriptions from
members of the church and their
friends are now being collected. It was
practically decided some time ago to
remodel the present church building, I
but recently it has been decided that a
straight out new church can be built
about as cheap as the present structure
can be remodeled. However, it is not
definite whether an entirely new church
will be built or not. Kut it is pretty
well assured that it will not be a great
while before something is done."
Campaign Lies.
"Well," remarked an old head at the
political game this morning, "this political
game, thank goodness, is over
for the present election and I for one
am truly glad. I have heard many
and varied campaign lies during my
life time, but seme of those that I have
heard since August 29. take the cake
for unmitigated unreasonableness and
foolishness. A campaign lie should be
basfd.cn at least a reasonable premise
atfd gcod many of them are; but
.many of those that have been circulat-j
ed for and against candidates since tho
first primary have been the silliest
twaddle I have ever heard, I think. But
it will be a real pleasure to know that
after tonight there will be no probability
of meeting that contemptible pup,
the campaign liar for two years to
come."
Little Things Count.
'Won't you publish this little bit of
verse that I enclose," writes a woman
reader. "I am sure that,many people
will find '.t worth reading:"
A spider is a little thing, r
But once a spider saved a king;
The little bees are wiser far
Than buffaloes or lions are;
Little men may do mucn narra;
Little girls may learn to charm;
Little boys may shame their sires,
And little sparks become great flres;
A little pen may write a word
By which a nation shall be stirred.
A little money wisely spent,
A world of sorrow may prevent;
A little counsel rightly given, *
May lift a sinful soul to ITcavcn.
Little losses day by day,
Would waste old Itothchild's wealth
away;
A little needle in the eye
Would cause an elephant to die.
A little fault if left to grow,
An emperor may overthrow.
A little word but spoke in jest,.
May rob your neighbor of his rest.
A little selfishness and pride.
1116 KlIlUl'Sl liuusrliuiu.-i ui v iuc
Little vices many times
Out-Herod felonies and crimes;
And little virtues in the sum
Goeat excellences do become.
The Campaign Yarn.
There have been a good many campaign
lies afloat during the past few
months, end these have been more
numeious during the past two weeks
than previously. It would be quite easy
to cite a number of these yarns; but
for various reasons, this is hardly
worth while.
Discussing the subject with Views
and Interviews a few days ago, a campaigner
of thirty years successful experience
said: / '
"But while these lies annoy you, and
get many people stirred up, they really
amount to very little in the way of results
so far as votes are concerned, it
is my ut'uih-iinu u[>iiuuii uiut u.not
worth while. In all my experience
I do not remember a single lie that has
amounted to a hoot. People have too
many ways to get at the truth Aid
whenever the real truth is established
It acts as bqoiperang.
The slickest campaign liar is the fellow
who will put into circulation lies
about himself. This is often done. It
can be done with the least suspicion,
and the liar who invents such lies
knows that he can keep them under
control. But I don't think that a liar
of this kind ever gets anywhere much.
It is characteristic of the liar that he
thinks he can deceive somebody; but
the fact is that he can only do it for
a short time. The people get on to him
sooner or later and then he is a laughing
stock."
THE STATE POINTING.
Editor Bradford Discusses a Matter of
Much Importance.
A. E. Gonzales, principal, if not sole
owner of The State company, Colum
bin, says that The State company is
not a part of the monopoly which is
doing: the legislative printing for the
state <5f South Carolina, about which
something was heard in York county
during the recent campaign. If Mr.
Gonzales were asked why The State
company and the It. I*. Bryan comI?any,
bidding jointly in the fall of
191G for the legislative printing for the
years 1917-1S, with the knowledge that
Che two companies were in i?osition to
force the joint committee on printing
to accept their bid or allow the legislature
to go without printing, refused
to do any of Jhcf work unless they
were awarded the contract for printing
the acts for the two years at a materially
higher price than that offered j
by a Charleston concern, whose bid
the committee was therefore compelled
to reject?A. E. Gonzales likely
enough would say that he had no
knowledge of such an incident and that
The State company was not then nor
has it since been a part of any printing
monopoly. And if one should go
a little farther and ask A. E. Gorfeales
why The State company, bidding this
year as usual with the It. L. Bryan
company lor tno legislative priming,
is now seeking to charge the people of
South Carolina around 200 per cent
more for certain publications in the
legislative printing than his company
and the Bryan company charged for
practically the same work in 1916, as
the l?id clearly shows, the man asking
the question probably would get little
definite information. It can be said in
justice to the Bryan company, however,
that that concern has yet to assume
an arbitrary, bullheaded attitude
in its relations with the joint committee
on printing. In the opinion of at
least one member of the joint committee
on printing, the legislative
printing would be done at a lower cost
if the setting of the price were left-to
the Bryan company alone.?Fort Mill

FOURTH DEATH TOLL
Bill Faries's Aversion to Cistern
Water Played Part in Tradgey.
FRED TAYLOR DIED OF WOUNDS
James Taylor and Family Will Leave
Clover?Faries's Wi/fe Said to Bo In
Critical Condition Since Tragedy?

Fully Recover from Their Wounds?

(By a Staff Correspondent.)
Clover, September 11.?Did "Fighting
Bill" Faries's aversion to drinking
cistern wat?r as furnished hy the water
system of the town of Clover cause
him to run amuck and kill four members
of the family of James M. Taylor,
one of them a little girl In her teens?
There are those who claim to know
and who insist that the well in the
Faries yard between his house and that
of Tom Perry, was the cause of all the
trouble. "Fighting Bill" has spent the
most of his turbulent life in the country,
and it is paid that he never could
get used to hydrant water when living
in a town. Houses of textile workerp
of the Clover .AB11 village nro furnished
with water from the town's system of
deep wells. Faries's home was so
equipped, but ho himself hardly if ever
drank any of that water. Just recently
he had cleaned out the old well in
the yard and had purchased a new well
bucket and otherwise put the well .in
goo^l shape. / ,
The Taylor children?some of them,
it is said,1 spit in the Faries well and
threw trash in it on several occasions
and while they had engaged in numbers
of spats with the Faries children ,
about other matters, still it was the
well that, raised Faries's ire.
Drank From It AnywayThen
there are those who insist that
the well had nothing to do with it.
They argue that if a Taylor child had
spit in the well, Faries would certainly .
have not drawn a bucket of water
from that well r(ftcr he had shot five
members of the Taylor family and just ]
before he gave Fred Taylor his death :
wound. Fred Taylor, the fourth Victim (
of the killer, died in a Gastonia hospit- |
al Saturday morning at 5 o'clock.; He
had suffered great agony since he was
shot last Wednesday afternoon as he
came /down the_ road leading to his
father's home. When the shooting be
gan he had run out of the house toward
the mill in search of aid. Faries gave
him his mortal wound as he walked
down the street to home, unarmed and
filled with concern-for his loved ones
who had already suffered at the hands
of the infuriated man. Blood poison
that had setfyd in a wound in his hip
caused his death. An operation was
made early Saturday morning in a desperate
.effort to save his life; but it
was of no avail, death coming pretty
soon thereafter. He was buried Sunday
morning in Olney cemetery beside
his sister Lela, his-brother Newton and
his cousin, Claude Johnson. There
was a large crowd at the funeral and
his grave was banked high with pretty
flowers. Fresh bouquets were laid on
the graves of the other trio of the tragedy.
It was really unnecessary, however,
because the fragrance was still on
the rosfs that had been placed on them
originally; ana tne lime neiween me
burials had been so short that they
had not died.
Taylor Will Move.
It is reported that Jim Taylor will 1
move the surviving members of his
family back to South Gastonia, from
whence they came to Clover Mill to live
several months ago. They couldn't well <
remain in Clover. The mother's heart 1
would well nigh break every time she i
looked out the front porch of her home i
if she did. The saddest memories would t
ever persistently persecute her and the ]
father if they stayed there. There i
would ever be visions of the killer with
double-barrel and his single-barrel i
guns belching buckshot across the nar- |
row street. The family originally came i
from Graham county, in the mountains j
of western North Carolina. They came i
out of the mountains to the mills in
the hope of a better opportunity to get
along in the world. There are feuds i
in the mountains occasionally; but the
poor peasant family has learned that j
they are occasionally in the industrial i
sections also. In the mountain feuds
women are some times killed. It also
happens elsewhere.
Methodists and Baptists.
, Fred Taylor and Newton Taylor
u-nn? tr? the Afothodist Knndnv school
in Clover, while they lived. It Is said
that the other members of the family
'went to the Baptist church. The funerals
of all four of the victims were
conducted, it is said by Rev. J. G.
Huggin, pastor of Clover Methodist
church. The minister was one of the
first at the scene of the terrible
tragedy after the word of it had been
spread about Clover on Wednesday.
Mrs. Faries III.
It is reported that Mrs. Faries who
has been ill for month:? has collapsed
since the tragedy Wednesday and that
relatives have been at her bedside
both in the day and in the night. It
is not clear what part of the tragedy
she witnessed, if any, and she has
been too ill to make any statement
relative to the matter, it is said, even
if she cared to make a statement.
Little Boy First Killed.
Tt seems to be pretty well established
that Newton Taylor, 12, was
the first of the Taylors to fall before
the Faries fire. Newton, it is said,
had been quarreling' with a little child
of Faries's and the Faries child came
running to its father with the statement:
"Newt hit mc with a rock."
Then Faries say red. Claude Johnson,
the nephew of Taylor who lived with
the family worked in the mill at night
it is said and was asleep. He was
awakened by the shot and came to the
door to see what It was all about. He
was only partially dressed, according
to report. He was almost instantly
killed. He had lived with the Taylors
for a number of years, it is said and
was regarded as a member of the
family.
raries nas Dig connection
William C. Faries who must answer
for the killing of four and the wounding
of two others has a wide connec- '
lion in Clover and throughout this
section. A large number of his, relatives
by blood and marriage live at
the Clover Mill. Others live in other
sections of the town and in the community
surrounding. Sympathy is* felt
for his relatives by the people of Clover.
There Is none for him. People
here who have J<nown him for years
do not hesitate to say that his reputation
is bad and has been bad for
years. He is s.**ld to have ever been 1
of an overbearing disposition and a
man of narrow (vision going through :
life with a chip on his shoulder as it '
were. 1
Quarrel a Long One. '
The quarrel with the Taylor family 1
had been going on for several months '
it is said here. Faries had complained
to the local authorities about the
alleged conduct of the Taylor children 1
and had sought their arrest. He was
told that whenever he cared to sign a
warrant for any oK all of them legal
cognizance of his quarrel would be
taken. Hut this he would not do.
Not Seriously Hurt.
Miss Gertio Taylor, 20. and little
Ijiolly Taylor, 10, who were wounded
in Wednesday's attack were
not serioifsly hurt. The older girl ban
a buck shot wound i. ler neck while
the latter was shot in the arm. In a
few days, according to the surgeons,
they should be well again and there is
rio indication that they will suffer
any physical infirmity because of their
harrowing experience.

The Clover Tragedy. ? The state press
is beginning to take cognizance !
of the recent tragedy at Clover, across <
the state line from Gastonia. It is the '
opinion of the High Point Enterprise 1
Lhut the insanity plea should not be i
allowed to interfere in this case and '
prevent a speedy trial. The Enterprise !
attributes the outbreak of Farris to an I
uncontrollable temper, undoubtedly i
carrying him to the point of insanity <
for the time being. Similar outbursts
of temper are not infrequent. They
are a breaking of deep-rooted hatred
into wild frenzy. Such tragedies as I
occurred yesterday, however, should i
not be allowed to go unpunished on (
the ground of insanity. It has become <
too easy a matter in this country to ]
go out and shoot people down and get
away with it on the ground of "temporary
insanity." The public is entitled i
t<+ protection from the typo of man 1
who cannot restrain himself when he <
gets mad. There is, after all, little exciiao
fin* n man to have n wild tenilier.
Ugly temper is largely the result of
mean thoughts and lack of consideration
for others. Sometimes a man is ,
excused for having a bad temper be- ]
cause of heredity. Whatever the
cause, society is entitled to protection
from wild men with guns. i
A speedy trial of the Clover slayer, I
minus the sickening appeals that he
was temporarily insane, is . the most ;
society may look for in payment of the ;
wholesale taking of innocent lives.?

NEWS ABOUT CLOVER
Sewerage System for the Town Is
Now Practically Certain.
EXPECTED TO COST ABOUT $65,000
Fitzsimmons to Leave Clover Mill?

(By a Staff Correspondent.)
Clover, Sept. 11?A $65,000 sewer
bond issue for a sewerage system to
extend over the town is practically
assured. Petitions which have been in
circulation for several days past
among freeholders have been signed
by the necessary number and an election
on the question will be called in
the near future. There is no doubt
but what the proposition will carry
since there is Uttic or no opposition.
For more than two years an agitation
has been carried on in Clover having
for its object a bond issue for a sewer
system and extension of the water system.
I*ist year public* spirited citizens
raised a subscription to pay an
engineer to coine to Clover and make
an estimate of the cost of a sewer
system such as is needed to fill the
needs of the town. The proposition
Jied temporarily with the coming of
the period of deflation, but when it
was revived recently it met with little
opposition.
Change at Clover Mill.
E. O. Fitzsimmons for some time
past executive secretary at the Clover
Cotton Mills, has resigned his position
to take a position with a mill in Monroe,
N. C. He will be succeeded at
the Clover Mill by James A. Page, Jr.

g;ret to learn that he will not return
to Ersklne College this fall where for
the past two seasons he lias been a
member of the varsity baseball team,
playing second base. He was also
manager of the Erskine footbnll team
ind president of the student government
association of the college. Mr.
ind Mrs. Fitzsimmons havo made
many friends while they havo been
esidents of Clover and their* friends
egret to see them leave.

Clover's Homicide Record.
The recently published statement
:hnt Clover had not had a homicide
imong white people in forty-two
fears until William C. Faries slew
lour members of the Taylor family on
ast Wednesday, was somewhat misleading
it appears. It is maintained
:hat from the time the first house was
juilt here about 187C until 1918 there
ivas no homicide among whites. But
t appears from the records that in
August, 1918, Mrs. Lyddia Blackwood
<hot and killed her husband in the
Plover Mill villatre where, the homi
:iile last Wednesday occurred. Mrs.
Blackwood was adjudged insane and
it is said that she is now in the state
iiospital for the insane at Columbia.
r>he had a small baby when she killed
tier husband and it is said that this
infant is now an inmate of a South
Carolina orphanage.
Hampshire Mill Construction.
Construction work on the Hampshire
Mill is progresainr steadily, the contractors
having a . rge force of men
it work there. It is said that some
difficulty is now being encountered in
obtaining the necessary building supplies
due to the rail tie up.
Gins Are Busy.
Since the first bale of cotton was
sold on this market on September 2,
the two Clover ginneries and several
rtf tnose in the surrounding country
have been quite busy. Most of the
new cotton that has been ginned here
has been sold immediately, it is said,
there being little tendency evidenced
no far to hold the cotton for higher
prices.

? Canada's consumption of automobiles
necessitates an annual replacement
of 80,000 cars. The use of cars
Is on the Increase, too, especially since
they have been introduced in such

revolutionized diversion made possible,
says a survey of the Canadian Pacific
railway. There were in Canada in
1920 seventeen automobile plants In
which a capital $53,966,506 was invested,
and the total production of
which was valued at $101,465,486. A 1
total of S31.000 persons receiving wagea
totaling $13,331,0*5, found employment
In the industry.
? A billion dollar dinner??o characterized

of the men who tender it will approximate

bill, which Imposes an Impost of nearly
$200,000,000 upon the sugar users of
the United States. The committee of
American business men, which was or

Dn striking miners. From January 1
to the first of July 1,263 mining operations
were involved in strikes, of whiQh
fifteen had been carried over from the
year before. Of these twenty-one have
been closed, leaving 1,242 disputes
riendlne on Julv 1. In the combined
bituminous and anthracite flelda 340,1
