? 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

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.

Entered at the Postofflce at lork, as
Mail Matter of the Second Class.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1922.
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.

in cash as an expression of their appreciation
for the virile gospel he had
preached during the meetings. 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.

ABOUT PEOPLE
Messrs. J. M. and S. II. Love of Mc- 1
Connellsvillc were in Yorkville yesterday.
Messrs. I. H. Campbell and R. O.
Clinton of Bethel township were among
the visitors in Yorkville yesterday.
Mrs. Robert Ferguson who was seriously
injured several days ago when
she fell down the stairs in her home
in the J. W. Dobson residence, Yorkville,
is recuperating as rapidly as
could be expected.
Mr. L. P. Good who has been visiting
his parents Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Good on
York No. 1, has returned to Johns
Hopkins, Baltimore, Md., to resume
his studies.
Mr. It. Meek Barnett of Bethel, was
in Yorkville yesterday on business, and
when twitted about not corning often,
said: "No, it is a fact that I don't
come often. 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. I will have to leave luxuries
e
of that kind for those who have more ^
money for advertising purposes and
who are able to sell a product that is
inferior to mine for a good deal more
money than I could think of asking." ^

REVIVAL IN PROGRESS
That the revival which began at
Trinity Methodist church Yorkville,
last evening is to continue throughout
the week is not to be a Methodist revival
strictly; but a spiritual revival
which it is hoi>ed will be of interest to
members of all denominations and no
denominations at all, was the statement
made by those in charge of the
meeting at the initial service. The
preaching la being done by Rev. J. G.
Huggin, pastor of blover and King's
.Mountain Chapel Methodist churches,
a preacher of power and pleasing personality.
A feature of the service last night
was the excellent singing, a choir of
good voices having been gathered for
the service. With Mrs. L. G. Baber at
the organ accompanied by Mr. Stowe
Turner on the violin, the choir l?d
in numerous popular Gospel Songs and
after a selection or two the congregation
joined in right heartily. It was
announced that services will be held
each morning throughout the week at
10 a. m., and each evening at 7:30 p. m.
and a cordial invitation was extended
to all who possibly could to leave their
business for an hour morning and night
in order to attend the services.
Laymen entered into the spirit of
the meeting the opening night, two lay
members of the church offering the
two prayers of the evening, invoking
the blessing of the Almighty upon tho
revival.
It was an interesting and instructive
lermon that Rev. Mr. Huggin preached
ast evening from John 8:12?"I am
he Light of the World."
Jesus Christ, he said, is not a dead
s.sue uespue me iaui inui ne nua .
icon physically dead for 2,000 years. Ho
s just as alive now as He was when
fe made the statement '"I am the light
if the world." to His first disciples
vlien He was upon this earth. We unlerstand
the effects of the elements of
