Governor Morrison of North Carolina
paid Gastonia a pop call Tuesday,
coming over from Charlotte to
take luncheon with the staff of the
North Carolina orthopaedic hospital.
Four resident members of the board of
trustees and the county commissioners
were also present. T.ie governor
made no public appearance in Gastonia,
the only sight the city got of him
being as he passed through in his car
en route home and in conversation
with R. B. Babingtoo, president of the
hospital. Governor Morrison said "the
orthnwu-dle hosDltal is one of the
greatest institutions in the state; one
that is especially dear .to my heart,
and I an willing' to do all that I can
for the crippled children of the state,
and they must be cared for, even if we
have to double the capacity of the
hospital." Tuesday was clinic day,
and the governor saw 25 crippled children
brought in from outside the hospital
for treatment and operations.
There are 51 patients in the hospital
at present and many on the waiting
list.

? AJU.ough President Harding has
not definitely committed himself to tiie
calling: of a special session of congress
in November ho is of the opinion
that congress should assemble prior to
the Dec ember session to consider the
ship subsidy bill and, legislation which
must ba enacted before March 4. An
administration spokesman outlining
the vievs of the executive said Tuesday
that as it was regarded a certainty
that congress would have to bo in
session either prior "to or after the
December session, which expires automatically
March 4, the president belie
ved ;t would be preferable to meet
in November. A special session in
Novetn m* Wbuld permit congress to
get started on its routine working to
insure its completion by March, according
to the view of the president.
Exnlaining that the president was not
unalterably committed to a program
for a November session, the spokesman
said the executive would not issue a
call uniess leaders in congress were of
the opinion such a .step was advisable.
A decision, it was said, would
not be reached until about November 1,
with the probability that if a call were
issued it would be for reconvening of
congress about the middle of November.
"
? If, writes a Moscow correspondent
of the New York World, Roumania
makes a move to interfere in the Balkan
crisis?and some highly placed
Russians believe that she is prepar
ing?there will be another Balkan explosion
that must lead to a big war.
In such event, Russia, it can be said,
will not be laggard. The Russian gov
ernmer t wants a voice in the discussion
of the future of Constantinople
and the Dardanelles, and is piqued with
the lukewarmness shown by the British
to their proposal that Russia should
be included In any conference. The
Russians, however, do not believe
Mustaapha Kemal wtll forget _hem, if,
as despatches here indicate, he is going:
to make a deal with the British.
Wednesday night 1,000 Turks, Hindus,
Armen ans, Astrakhans and other
* dusky Near East emigrants, garbed in
theiricolorful native costumes, paraded
Moscow, celebrating the victory, of
the "Turkish Red Army" and "the
eternkl union of Turkey and Russia."
Thousands of Russians joined the
festi\ities and acted as though Kemal
had achieved a Russian triumph. Officials
at the Soviet Foreign Office
warmly congratulated the celebrators
on the "Red" army's victory. They
emphasized the necessity for Russia's
participation in any conference that
decided the fate of Constantinople and
the straits.
? Quoting the statement of President
JlUiamg 1 n ins vtiu iium.ikc <.>11 uk:
bonus bill that the treasury faced a
deficit in 19:23 of $650,000,000, Representative
Byrnes, South Carolina,
Demdc a tic member of the appropciationstcommittee,
says in an extension
of refiarks printed in the Congressional
Repcrd that "it annihilates leaders of
his party in congress who have been
declaring that the receipts and expense^
of the government have been
balanced." According to the president
says Mr. Byrnes, they lack $650,000,000
"of being balanced and it is certain
the gtvcvnment must continue to borrow
:t ? meet its ordinary expenses."
With*measure now pending providing
for additional appropriations, lie declares,
the deficit named by President
Harding will be increased to ISSO.OOO,000,
the largest ever incurred by the
tieasuiy in time of peace. Touching op
appropriation for the shipping board
and tlie likelihood of taking up merchant
marine legislation at a special
session. Mr. Byrnes says consideration
heretofore was postponed because of
the "'disclosure that the hdminist -atlorr
had announced a new policy?that the
constitution follows the flag to the
three mile limit only. The American
people regardless of their views on
prohibition," he added, "will want to
know of Republicans in congress why
they appropriated money for certain
employes to arrest the citizen found
within the three mile limit with a
quart of whisky in his possession and
at the same time voted money for the
shipping board to enable other employes
of the government to sell liquor
on shipping board ships beyond the
three mile limit."

Mail Matter of the Second Class.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1922.
The British kept telling the Turks
not to come into the neutral zone; but1
the Turks kept coming. They refused
to recognize any neutral zone.
In times past the religious fanaticism
of the Mohammedans has overrun
many Christian countries; but in
later years the ships, guns and grit of
Christian armies have proved their
ability to hold this fanaticism in check.
Once more we beg to remind our
readers that next Monday, October 2,
will furnish the last opportunity that
they will liavc to grot registration certiUrates
in time for tho next general
election. So far as wo have information
there will he no opposition to the
Democratic ticket in the next general
election; but nevertheless all citizens
who are qualified to register should be
registered.
Plow it tinder?plow it under deep
?plow it with a tractor, is the agricultural
slogan of the hour. It is to
kill the boll weevil, they are. saying
now. As to whether it will kill weevils,
of course, we don't know. There
is no doubt, however, that it is well
to plow it under. And since the cotton
should all he off within the next
few weeks, there will be time for the
plowing. Whether it Is cotton next
spring or not, the plowing under is the
thing.
? _ _
They may be able to settle that controversy
with the Turks without a
war; but just now it.is difficult to see
how thc-y^itre gofng to tl6 "it. Turkey
and Russia are in alliance. There
seems to be no doubt of that. Neither
Great Britain nor France recognizes
Russia; but Turkey, dependent on
Russia for what she has achieved, will
insist on Russia being considered.
Heretofore Turkey has stood with
" i'n-u-u l.Von/.n oivntnct RllS
ureal nrnuiii unu aimv u8u>..u? ..?
sia on this question; but this is the
first timo that Turkey has been united
with Russia against Great Britain and
France. Japan seems to be looming
up in the thing as an ally of Great
Britain against Russia. It is possible
that there may be found a way for%ettlement;
but the situation is grave?
exceedingly grave. It looks as if
Great Britain must either yield her
contention to a large extent or resort
to war, and Great Britain has not been
in the habit of yielding.
Former Premier Venizclos, of
Greece, has nothing to say for publication
in connection with the present
severe troubles of his country.
Venizelos was the great commoner of
Greece. His sympathies were with the
Allies during the world war, and of
course he had nothing in common
with the royal family. The royal
family all leaned toward Germany.
Following: the first abduction of Constantine
Vcnizelos was restored to
favor; but when the people voted to
recall Constantino, Yenizelos was compelled
to leave. He now lives in
Franco, following; a tour lhr6ugh the
United States. As yet the revolution
by which Constantino was deposed
i has not affected his status. Greece is
not yet ready to submit to the desires
of the Allies. Yenizelos may eventually
be recalled to Greece; but as to
that there is no certainty. There is
! reason to believe, however, that he
I is the one man who can do for Greece
: that which is best for her under the
circumstances.
There is, perhaps, nothing new in
I the proposition that has been laid before
congress to enact legislation that
will ensure that in future wars wealth
may be conscripted to serve tiie conn
try along with men. Under the rule of
the past, the wisdom of which has
been established by practice, the bur;
den of war falls on the vouth of the
' land?On boys of sixteen up to men
i of twenty-live and even thirty. Older
men are seldom called upon except as
a last desperate resort. Hut the injustice
of the whole thing is apparent
to all. While the young men are undergoing
the privations of the camp
and the dangers of the battle line, the
older men are in soft berths, reaping
rich harvests in the shape of profits
land power, ('.real fortunes are rapidly
! built up back home and the men who
j brave the dangers and win tbe battles
i come back to lind themselves more
than ever subject to those for whom
they fought. The question of I sinuses,
pensions, disability allowam. s, ete.,
are natural, logical and endless. Why
should ltot the soldier have an equity
in that which was created or develop
the result of his privations? The
question answers itself; but when it
comes to the question as to how much
the stay-at-homes should give up or
the soldier should have, as yet there
has been no answer. The injustice of
it all is appreciated by both and so
long as injustice exists there is suspicion,
doubt and resentment. But the
cure seems simple. Along with the
soldier let every man and woman be
conscripted for all the aid he or she
can give. Let talent and property go
also against the scale alongside of
...lULw^noaa /Mq Aiul U'llPTl nil llflVO
done their respective parts in the
struggle there can be no after war
settlements to make. The accounts
will have been kept in balance all the
while.
? Allied proposals to insure freedom
of the Dardanelles and protection of
racial and religious minorities in negotiating
a permanent peace settlement
of the Near Eastern crises "are
clearly in accord with American sentiment,"
Secretary Hughes declared on
Tuesday in the first formal assertion
of American policy toward the Turkish
problem. A,t the same time Mr. Hughes
took occasion to express the trust
of the Washington government that
arrangements would be made to keep
the straits open and maintain peace
"pending the conference to conclude a
? 1 ?-vP rtAonn hnf ti'firtn TnpL'OV
Illicit UCUkJ UL j/ViiiW wvbn vvu J. v.* ..vj ,
Greece and the Allies." The statement
was made in reply to a question, submitted
to Mr. Hughes by the Associated
Press as to the attitude oC tho
American government toward the
peace proposals made by the Allies.
His answer was as follows: "Tho
American government is gratified to
observe that tho proposal of the three
Allied governments seek to insure effectively
'.the liberty . of the Dardanelles,
tho Sea of Marmora and the
Bosporus as well as protection of the
racial and religious minorities.' These
points arc clearly in accord with
American sentiment. This government
also trusts that suitable arrangements
may be agreed upon in the inA

of the straits pending the conference
to conclude a final treaty of peace
between Turkey and Greece and the
Allies."
? Profiteering at the expense of consumers
is being "camouflaged" by
clothing dealers through statements
that the tariff bill will increase prices
of suits and overcoats, Senator Smoot
of Utah, Republican leader and memb<*
of the senate finance committee declared
Wednesday in a statement of the
effect of the new wool rates. "The
price of woolen clothing should be
cheaper in the spring of 1923 and
thereafter," said Senator Smoot.
"Statements to the contrary appear to
be camouflage put out to bide an intention
to profiteer at the expense of
the consumer or for political purpose,
or both. There is no reason whatever
for any honest, sane person to claim
that the price of wool clothing will he
higher because of the Fordney-McCumber
tariff act." If tariff rates affect
retail prices, Senator Smoot said,
the new law should reduce rather than
increase clothing prices. He emphasized
that the wool rates of the new act
are about half of those in the previous
emergency tariff, and contended that
retail prices therefore should come
down. In fact, he said, manufacturers
[of woolen cloths were quoting reduced
prices for the spring* of 1923. Some of
these declaring the tariff would increase
retail clothing prices, Senator
Smoot added, used "profiteering pyramiding"
in their accounting, but competing
among woolen manufacturers,
he added, would "prevent any such
reprehensible greed going on a rampage."
? King Constantino of Greece, has
been forced to abdicate his throne in
! the interest of his son. Prince George,
j This is the outcome of the failure of
Constantine's efforts against the Turks
in behalf of the integrity of the Greek
kingdom. The opposition party, the
party of Venesselos, rose against Con;
stantinc, and there was nothing for
ciiii IU iiu uiiL iiuuiuiic.
! first ascended the throne in 1913. He
was forced to abdicate because of his
' pro-German sympathies, and was succeeded
by his son Alexander, who
reigned for three stormy years, and
who in 1920 died from the bite of a
monkey. Constantino was recalled by
plcbieite, and although the Allied powers
did what they could to prevent his
re-ascension, he marched triumphantly
into Athens in December, 1920. Immediately
he undertook a war against
the Turks, with the idea of securing to
the Turks eastern Thrace, Constantinople
and certain large provinces of
Asia Elinor in which the Greeks predominated.
The war progressed successfully
enough at first; but as the
result of interference of the Allies and
the withholding of assistance the
Turkish Nationalists finally got the
host of it and put the Greeks to rout.
The defeat resulted in demoralization
and confusion out of which?has grown
revolution. Although he held on to the
last, Constantine finally saw that it
was no use and gave it up. The Allies
* had promised the Turks continued
! domination over eastern Thrace; hut
the Greeks have SO.000 soldiers in that
territory, aial declare that they will
| light to the death. Mustnpha Kemal,
head of the Turkish Nationalists, is
j committed to the re-conquest of east|
crn Thrace, and is? making his nrj
rangements to invade the country re'
gardless of tlie Allies. Kemal says
that he is willing to guarantee the
! international freedom of the Straits;
hut. says it must he done under Turkish
control and aI>o he says that the
Turks must have complete sovereign :
ty over Constantinople. These are the
: main issues in the present controI
versy.

but the county legislative delegation
"couldn't see him." The third primary

RAID WITHOUT RESULTS
Prohibition officers raided ten alleged
blind tigers in Rock Hill last week;
; but the raid did not result in the
| capture of a single drop of liquor, according
to one of the raiding officers
' who told a reporter for The Yorkville
Enquirer about it yesterday. Among
| those raided was the "place of
: business" and the residence of the
! alleged Blind Tiger King of Rock
llill, where not even the odor of liquor
I was to be detected.
According to the officer who told
I the story when the raiders approach;
cd "the King" courteously invited
| them in and told them to search until
they were satisfied. He even went
! ;\ little further and undertook to "kid"
| them.
I "\\nat do you fellows think I am,
j anyhow?" ho is alleged to have said.
"Do you think f am. fool enough to
keep liquor in my place of business
or in my house when I can got a dozen
fellows and do get a dozen around
! here to sell the stuff for me?
"You must think I am a chump,
anyhow. I am not denying that I
handle the stuff through others but as
, to my having it around here. It is to
j laugh."
And the officers after searching
them thoroughly went away convinced
: that "the king" didn't have any stuff
mound the premises at that particular
' time anyhow.
WITHIN THE TOWN
? Ashes spread on the ground too
close to it were responsible lor the
burning of an outhouse on the premises
"f \\". \\\ Jenkins at 8:20 this morning.
;Canlcn tools valued at about $100
which were in the house were destroyed.
? The combination gasoline and electrical
pumping plant purchased some
time ago by the local water, light and
power department to take the place of
'worn out pumping machinery that
has been in use for two decades arrived
this week and is now being installed
at the waterworks plant in
the western part of town. The new
pumping outfit which weighs more
than 10,000 pounds is being installed
by City Clerk and Treasurer J. Frank
Faulkner, Superintendent J. Q. "YVray
of the water, light and power department
and their assistants and the
work of installation is proving quite a
job. The new machinery will enable
the pumping of 500 gallons of water a
minute, a quantity more than adequate
to supply the needs of the town
on any occasion, it is said.
? Several ex-soldiers and American
legion members of Yorkville and vicinity
contemplate attending- the annual
convention of the American legion
to be held in New Orleans next
month. The convention is to be held
Octol>er 16-20 and some of the exbuddies
are figuring that they can
make the trip for S75 and less to the
Louisiana city and then come home
with money in their pockets. A bulletin
issued V>y state headquarters of the
American*Legion requests that all exsoldiers
expecting to attend the convention
notify Department Adjutant
Miller C. Foster of Spartanburg, not
later than October 1. By notifying
the department adjutant of the intention
to make the trip it is possible that
| money win ue saved.

ALONG THE WAY
"Old Man" Charlie Hawkins and his
son Joe Hawkins each complete a live
^ uur mien un inc ku k cuuiuy ciiuinPins
early next month. "OKI Man"
Charlie and his two sons, Joo and
Avery, who lived in the Sharon section
were arrested in 1017 and convicted in
191S on a charge of stealing merchandise
from several Sharon merchants.
Avery made his get-away from the
chaingang some time ago and has never
been re-captured. "Old Man" Charlie
was made a trusty soon after being
committed to the gang and lias made
a good prisoner. His son Joe was a
trusty for some time but a few months
ago ho became tinruly and the guards
put the shackles on him again. Both
prisoners are getting some time off for
good behavior. Joe was littlo more
than l'i years old when lie went to the
gang. He is Hearing his 21st birthday
now.
Tlx- fiO convicts on the York county
chaingang have temporarily been
divided into three squads. One squad
is working at Kiddle's Mill, a second is
sanding the Vorkville-Koek Ilill mad
between Newport and Tirzah and the
third squad is working on the West
road.
II was reported yesterday that there
are more than a dozen eases of typhoid
fever among residents of Vorkville and
that two new eases developed yesterday.
There are those who say that the
town never needed a general cleaning
up of premises worse than it needs it
now. "This is the'dirtiest town in
the state I do believe," commented a
well known business man yesterday.
"T; plioid fever is caused from tilth
that allows mosquitoes and other
disease bearing' insects a place to
breed. This town is infested with mosquitoes.
They are bad along the main
streets and in the residential sections
of the town. If there ever was a time
when we needed to go in for a general
clean-up campaign it is right now."
John Gordon Ferguson, young son of
W. E. Ferguson of Yorkvillo, isn't
afraid of snakes. Yesterday John
Gordon was walking along on King's
Mountain street opposite the residence
of D. Li. Shicder when he saw a small
king sr.ake. He held the king's head
with a stick and then picked the
reptile up and. put it in a bottle. The
bottled snake was an object of more or
less interest to people on the streets
yesterday.
"Jedgc" Fred Black sat on the steps
in l'ront of the courthouse yesterday
afternoon talking to two friends. A
colored boy approached him and said:
"Jedge, dere is a lady ob color what
says she wants to interview you in you
all's office."
"Tell her I am not coming to talk to
her any more. If she'll get some white
man to say her husband's treating her
wrong I'll come and help her."
"These domestic rows are tough on a
magistrate," commented the "jedge."
"That old woman wants me to gel
her things out of her husband's house
But I happen to know she is raising
all the trouble and not him for once."

The Weevil and the Cold.
' There is nothing new about it," said
[ H. E. Neil, general manager of the
plant of the Yorkville Cotton Oil company;
"but I am convinced that the boll
weevil is not hurt by the cold. Around
at our place you know we have boll
, weevils in abundance, we make ice a
plenty, and most of the time we have
a big furnace going. While at the gin
I the other day, I gathered some weevils
from anions: the refuse at the outlet of
the trash spout. We put the weevils
on a block, of ice, and put another
block on top of them. When we examined
the weevils a few hours later
they appeared to be frozen through.
One of the boys was instructed to take
them to the boiler room and throw
them out. Before lie pot to the boiler
room the weevils were crawling in his
; hand. Then we got some more weevils
and put them between blocks of ice
I and left them there for the night.
Within a short time after the weevils
were removed from the ice next morning
they were crawling again."
