TftiBW to*# jfarts. ' * " ? Because of failure to make thorough examir.'i tion previous to burial, the body of Mrs. Eleanor Mills, who wts slain with- Rev. Edward Hall at New Brunswick, >?T- J-, recently, was exhumed last Friday for further post mortem examination. It was found as had bepn ^jnofflcially stated that at least three bullets had .been fired into the wqmap'/k head and he.* throat had been out. The position of one of the bullets was such as to mavkc it clearly impossible that it could hay.e been flr<jd by the woman herself. It was decided to exhume' the body of Mr. Hall also. It was known that Hall had' a few years a go received a legacy of $10,000 and among other theories in th e case was one that he and Mrs. Mills were preparing to elope to Japan withi this money. Opening of Hall's safe deposit box, however, developed that the sieculoimpv were in riues reprcaviiims mo ? tact. There was also a life insurance policy for $1,000 and his will leaving all of his estate to his widow. ' ? Tajxable income of corporations fell | off bj> $1,590,000,000 during 1920, accordiitg to complete internal revenue statistics'made public Sunday by Com. missioner Blair. A total net income of $7,902,000,000 was repoj-ted by 203,233 corporations, against which income taxes of $637,500,000 and war profits an^pt^j profits taxes of $988,700,000 were levied as compared with a total net income of $9,411,000,000 reported in 1919 by ?49,634 corporations, afrainst whjqka total tax of $2,175,000,000 was levied. There were returns by 160 corporations in 1020, which report?*! net income of $5,000,000 and over; 816 reported from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 and 1,412 from $500,000 to $1,000,000. 1 he number of individuals who filed income tax returns for the calendar year 192 0 was 7,259,944 with an aggregate net income of $23,735,000,000 and a total tax of $1,075,000,000 which, as compared with 1919, showed a growth of 1,927,000 in the number of returns filed and an increase in the total net income reported of $3,876,000,000 but a decrease of $194,600,000 in the total tax. ? Another great war-cloud hangs over Europe, United States Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, declared Saturday, ?in an address before the Press club in Chicago. He declared the situation was the result of imperialistic policies and intrigue and said v?n wo a in fnunp nf eollinc Encland and France that their policies were condemned by the conscience of the Christian world and that "you shall find no sympathy or succor iq this quarter of the globe. We are now being deluged with statements by those who would have us put our soldiers behind the imperialistic policies of Europe," 'tile senator said. "Haven't we coddled Europe long enough? Europe needs to bo told the facts, and that Bhe is the author of her own ruin. After the World war, the senator charged "the wfilte race, the Christian race, began to shoot.down and kill and murder the people of Syria and Mesopotamia and Egypt and India and. make re exploit their oil fields and their nq^iiral wealth." He dec'ared it was a story of "treachery nowhere surpassed in the history of wars," after promises of liberty and independence. The result, he said, was that all Islam was aroused, of which he said, "the Lord alone can tell the consequences. I think something can be done," he sald.-;*I think the Christian world, can raise its voice in behalf of justice to those people against whom we are now asked to prepare for war." ? "I am not, as you have seen, a Robespierre, aBd I don't even want to be- thdught of as a military dictator," said Colonel Gonatas, leader of the revolutionary movement Sunday in discussing the Grecian revolt, which probably will go down in history as one of the most capably organized and otu^^f swiftest military upheavals evfjjf^fl^cting world nations, writes an Athens correspondent of the Asosciated Press. Colonel Gonatas modestly disclaimed that his brain was the creative" force and his the genius which brought the movement to its amazingly quioft dinelbsion. "It was Mo officers about trie," he said, "and they did me theJionpr to make me their leader." A handsome man of about 4") years is Colonel Gonatas. liis black hair brushed back crowns an intellectual face which breaks into a pleasant smile as, in French, he talks of the revolution. "We who made this revolution," continued Colonel Gonatas earnestly "hope the people of the United States will understand why we made it and that they will givo their sympathy to us, " <1 ml, generally speaking, espouse our cause. For this revolution had, to com?., I.t was the logic of human event. We were misgoverned f t home, and because of that we met military disaster abroad. So we decided to come home and remove both the king and the government?to put our house in order. We removed the king because he was an embarrassment in our relations with the countries of the entente. He was an embarrassment, 50 we asked him to make way for his son. We brought with us to Athens an army of sufficient size to render all resistance ineffective and we carried through the revolution without shedding a single drop of blood. Wo arrested five civilians who we consider responsible for our defeat in Asia Minor and two officers fftr trying to foment..resistance to us without government authority. It was a matter of honor with us to protect the king. Constantino left yesterday for Palermo on the steamer Patras which sails sometimes for America, accompanied by firf^onorary escort of torpedo boat destroyers provided by the revolutionary committee. I'ntil tried by specfirf tribunals the civilian prisoners will be transferred to and kept on an island in the Aegean sett." These civ i <lians'fnclude.njti,u lijao lA>rmc?r J'i*'niu?r?

One thing we cannot understand about the Greeks: is, What do they want with a king: anyway? Most of those European p??ople have the same trouble; but they would all be better off if they would discard their kings and establish republics. If there were fewer*, kings there would not be' so many wa/-s, and the people would make more progicss in industry and art. "iMic national prohibition laws arc among the best rind most wholesome that havo ever been placed on the statute books of this government. It does not help anybody morally, physically or spiritually to drink intoxicating liquors. Instead, the use of intox icating liquor oniy worss nunu. ruins any man "who sticks to. it long enough. By long enough is meant over a period of years. There is no defense fcr the use of liquor. Even tho man who claims personal privilege must admit, if he is at all reasonable, that he Is not fairly entitled to tho enjoyment of a privilege that necessarily involves his interference with the comfort and pleasure of other people. If we admit it is a privilege to commit vulcide, then also we should admit it a privilege to drink and get drunk. But the law condemns both drinking and suicide, and neither can be tolerated .by thoso who would respect the law. That star feature programme that Winthrop college is announcing today, will compel widespread attention from those people who know how lo appreciate the superior value of it. It is commonly recognized that because of w.,\i vc onternrise in this connection, the people of tho territory surrounding' and within automobile reach of the college, have had. advantages in the enjoyment of the national and internationai specialists that are not ordinarily available except in the large centres of population. For a number of years past Winthrop has been securing the best that were to be had. This year's list has been selected ' with all the discriminating care of the i>ast aided by past experience. And in this connection wo desire to make this practical suggestion: It is not probable that the Winthrop authorities will feel warranted in keeping this announcement constantly before the public, and to those who are interested it is suggested that they cut out this splendid programme as hero published and file or paste it away wliero it will be easily accessible for future reference. Observe the Law. Is it not about time for tlio good I>eoplo of this country to stiffen up n bit in the enforcement of the laws against the manufacture and use of intoxicating liquors? As matters stand now, it is against the law to make liquor, it is against the law to own it, and it is against the law to use it. To be suro there arc people who make a joke of ami-whisky laws, just as they do any other laws that conflict with their comfort, convenience or inclinations. Hut these are not good people. No man who will deliberately violate any law is a good man. A country that is full of men who I deliberately violate the laws whenever it suits their inclination, is in a dangerous state. I Jt behooves every citizen who is worthy of the name to do what he can to compel obedience to the laws of the land. Less Ominous of War. It l?s>ks now as ?f that serious situation ill the Near Mast is going to he conmosed without a general conflngra tion. And Great Britain is going to have her way. i At the time last Friday's issue of The Yorkville Kixiuirer went to press, all the indications were that the next few hours would bring intelligence of a tierce battle between the British and Turks at t'lianak, and another general | European war would be in progress. The Greeks and Turks had been j | fighting for many months, the advantage for the most part being with th" Greeks. The treaty of Sevres had sought to push the Turks out of I3u; rope. It gave the Greeks the Turkish ! provinces of Thrace and the eities of J Asia Minor in which tlie* Greek popnI lotion was predominant. It created neutral zpnes along both the north and south shores of tire Dardnnelle v Sea of Marmora and Bosporus, pnd although it allowed the Sultap of Turkey to continue his residence in Constantino it pijt^Uiejfc-oyocinjient of the city it.self iiiuUx an irttcrnfttion.il onmmissiori;* 'lcrlvirig Turkish sovereignty hardly so much as a name. Leaving his sultan and those who agreed with him in Constantinople, Kemal Pasha hurried into the interior of Asia Minor and began stirring up the real Turks against a humiliation that would moan the complete blotting out of the Turkish empire. The provisions of the treaty of Sevres being J to the tremendous advantage of Greece, King Constantine immediately put his armies into the field and sought to overcome the Turkish Nationalists under Kemal before they could mobilize their armies for effective x-esistance. The Greeks were successtui ai nrst; but as soon as the Turks were able to pet their forces in shape the tide of success turned, and the Greeks were swept out of Anatolia and Angora lock, stock and barrel. Then came the debacle as the result of which the Greek army nr.d the Greek government wc.it to pieces. Following the promulgation of the treaty of Sevres, the Turks had been driven out of eastern Thrace by the thousands, the country being taken up by the Greeks. Such of the Greek army as was able to escape from Kemal Pasha to the north retreated across the so-called neutral zone into eastern Thrace, and when Kemal came along behind, he showed no signs of stopping on the southern shores of the straits. Here is where England bristled up. "The neutrality of the straits and the f Pnnoto nl Sn Af\1 A iiiiti uaiiuiitiii/Miiiuii ui have been agreed upon," she said, "and if you violate thin agreement we will fight you." France and England rather thought that the Turkish Nationalists were acting within their rights in the matter; but England would have nothing of the kind. During several days the neutral zone to the south of the straits was filled with armed hosts, the Turks coming in from Asia Minor on the trail of the Greeks, and the British gathering reinforcements from all directions. It will have to be admitted that Kemal did not show Ihe white feather. He took the ground that if the territory was neutral he had as much right there as did tne British and persistently passed the dead lines that the British had drawn. In the meantime terms of a conference were tentatively agreed upon and Kemal has consented to talk it over. The Turks are willing for the complete neutralization of the straits under Turkish sovereignty; but th?y must also keep control of Constantinople' and be allowed to re-occupy eastern ^Thrace, and resume sovereignty over the ar.cient capital of Adrianople. The trouble is not entirely settled; but the outlook is that some kind of a permanent agreement will bo reached within tho next few days. Pastor Didn't Fall For It.?The Laurlnburg Exchange learns that at the close of the last service of a revival meeting at the Methodist church, five white-robed Klansmen marched into the church and handed Rev. Prank Culberth, pastor of the Caledonin. fhnrcro fin nnvolnno pfintiininn- fclft ?- o-l V...

Kluxcr3 arc accustomed to giving surprises themsel ves and perhaps they were not prepared for the surprise. Mr. Culberth gave them. The preacher, according to the news story in the Exchange, without hesitation, returned the offering to the Klansinen and frankly, but kindly told them that he could not accept it, that he does not approve of the order and is not in sympathy with it and its works; whereupon the Klaiismen, remarking, "We'll see you later," marched out of the house with their rejected gift.

FIRE PREVENTION Governor Harvey lias issued a proclamation setting apart the present week bebinning yesterday as "Fire Prevention" week. The proclamation is as follows: "Whereas, the ceaseless fire waste is a heavy tax en the accumulated property of the state and is in large measure a needless disaster due to lack of thought and care?nearly every accident being traceable to human negligence: "And whereas, the education of the children should include training in , useful, practical economics and prudence in prevention of all avoidable his; "And whereas, since the ways nf living are largely the results of habits which may be constructively controlled by iteration and reiteration, it is well at least once a year to direct the attention of the people and especially of the young in the schools to the evil of preventable fire losses and to the ( duty of being careful to avoid causing ( so called 'accidental fires;' "Now, therefore, I, Wilson O. Harvey, governor of the state of South Caro- i linn, do hereby issue this, my procla- ( motion designating the days from October 2 to 0, inclusive, as 'Fire Pre- ' i- -t on eliminating in Monday, ' October ft, as 'Fire prevention Day,' ; mm 1 do ca.ll upon the people of the state, especially the *?hool authorities and tlie teachers and the children in ' the, schools, to observe ?tjhis week and > day by giving special thought to the ( means of preventing accidental fires and of eyjnguishing tires, and likewise W to the methods of.first aid to those in- | jured by fire, in order that there may I be a more general practical knowledge, mental alertness and individual sense of duty for combating fires and lessening the property loss and the human suffering caused by fire. "It is suggested that the teacher in every grade devote a few minutes each day during 'Fire Prevention Week' to inculcating in the minds of the children useful facts for the purposes above stated, and that the children be urged to carry home to their families the information and advice thus given." PURSLEY A CANDIDATE ? Former Representative Emmett W. n.ifQlov nf Knntincrn said vestcrday that he would be a candidate for the 1 office of superintendent of the state penitentiary, the position to be filled by the next general assembly which meets in January. "A number of my friends over the state," said Mr. Pursley yesterday in making his announcement, "have for some time been insisting that I offer for the place and I have decided to offer. I believe that my long experience as a farmer and business man would well equip me for the important office and I have secured many flattering promises of support." Mr. Pursley has served York county for six years as a member of the general assembly. He was defeated for re-election in the primary on August 29, running fifth on a ticket of eight candidates although he received more than a majority of the votes cast. The present superintndent of the state penitentiary is Mr. A. K. Sanders of Sumter county and it is presumed that he will be a candidate for reI election. It is understood that Mr. Pursley already has the endorsement of the York county legislative delegation in his candidacy for superintendent of the penitentiary.

I am in Rock Hill and Gastonia oftencr than I am here, but honestly I like to come here. I like this town. It is one of the best towns 1 know of, and I have always said that if I should ever make up my mind to leave the country and go to town this 1 is the town I would come to." 1 "No, I did not exhibit a specimen of my wooden leg production at the Made in Carolina exposition" said Dr. \\". H. Krwin, the veteran manufacturer of wooden legs a day or two ago. "I went over to Charlotte for the purpose and was prepared to show a product that cannot be excelled in the Carol inns or in the country for that matter; but they wanted 111 expenses for the exhibit, and I could not quite sec that.

AID FOR HAIL SUFFERERS. Refund of taxes for those farmers living west of Yorkville whose crops were practically destroyed by hail on August 3, 1922, was provided for in a resolution offered by Representativeelect James E.

Farmers who suffered 50 per cent loss by hail in the storm area are to be relieved of the payment of taxes with the exception of the 3 mill constitutional tax, under the terms of the resolution adopted.
