.. .) < HARVEY AS A PEACEMAKER fijvernor Appears In Most Commendable Role. QUARREL Of EDGEFIELD OFFICERS Dispute Had Reached a Stage Close to Bloodshed and There Would Have Been a Killing Except for the Kind Heart and Good Sense of thj Chief Executive. Thd story of how Governor Harvey recently brought peace out of a bad situation in Edgefield county has just conic to light, following publication In theiBdgefleld Chronicle of a report of ttie peace-making. A personal difficulty, took pl?ce between Sheriff Swearlngen and Supervisor Edmunds, of Edgefield county. r Of ?lf*S U uunuiliuii *11 mi a in bAivivvi between the two officials, and there wns much'concern in Edgefield county over the relations between the two men and the possible outcome. Quietly Governor Hnrvey took action. He realized that the situation should not continue. Hfe wrote to the two men and asked each one if he would not call at the executive office I on-a certain day. He asked the two tQ.call at the same time and he stated in hiS letter- to each that he had asked the other of the two to come at the same time. After a, qertain amotfnt of correspondence*, the governor affected A' arrangement Whereby the two men I came to his office and he talked over the matter with them, as man to man and as friend to friend. The governor made it very plain that he was a friend to both of them, that he wanted to see them make friends In the Interest of law enforcement, as well as for personal friendship. The governor's kind and yet manly position impressed the two men and the result was they became friends of each other again. And both v/ent away with the kindliest feeling towards Governor .Harvey. The troubled waters have been smoothed over; the two men are friends; Edgefield county thanks the governor for his work as peace maker and the arm of the law is strengthened where if the difficulty between the "two had been allowed to continue the governor told the men, it would have tended to weaken the publ'.c's respect for law. Trouble Over Negress. . The trouble is said to have resulted over the sheriff retaining a nfegro woman at the Jail to sweep up and cltan the premises when the supervisor claimed the woman should serve time on the chain gang as sentenced by the court. Many words Were passed over the matter, the sheriff refusing to give Inland the supervisor demandirg his "rights," according to the information nut f. After several days of rowing the supervisor is alleged to have gone to his home, procured his shotgun and, returning to the courthouse, defied the sheriff to come out and telling him if he did "he would blow his head off." Friends persuaded the sheriff to remain quiet and temporary agreement was reached to carry the fight ro further. This temporary agreement was short lived, however, as the supervisor is said to have been passing the sheriff's office a short time later when the sheriff pounced upon him with an ax handle, inflicting painful wounds. A pistol is also said to have been discharged during the fight. The supervisor. it is said, used some very strong words about the sheriff. When the two men went to Columbia they were at first irreconcilable, but after several hours of talking the gov 1 iir T>.. ? l... , f I VIIIU1 anu . !_>?( Iir\M JJUVV, DVUIUVOI J Ui state, got them together and they left, friends once again.

Concerning the agreement signed by the two officials, the Edgefield Chronicle publishes the following: The Chronic'e is gratified to publish the following duly signed agreement? witnessed by Governor Harvey and , Secretary of State Dove?whereby j Sheriff Swcaringen and Supervisor Edmonds being requested by Governor J Harvey to come to his office for a I peace cor. fore nee?have come to terms 1 on a peace hasis.

NEAB HERE STOOD ANCIENT TROY Key to the Passago Between Europe, and Asia?Here is a Battle Ground bn* i? Almn<;t as Old as History. Translation often spoils romance. ' Chanak, the strategic point on the j Asiatic side of the Dardanelles, which figured in the headlines for weeks after the fall of Smyrna as a sort of threatened British Thermopylae, means "pots"?scullery ware?according to a bulletin dealing with the region issued by the National Geographic Society. "But though it has a hum-drum name,"-continues the bulletin, "Chanak ?or Tehanak-Kalessi?and its neighborhood have more than once been the stage for acts which have radically I molded the world's history and even the world's literature. Barely twenty miles to the south rose Troy, to furnish inspiration alike to Homer ' and his j myriad of readers. Within a stone's | throw of Chanak, Xerxes in 480 B. C. | led his thousands of Persians across j the Dardanelles on a bridge of boats in j the first formidaole expedition of Asiatics into Europe which history re- | cords. At the same spot a century and a half later Alexander led his smaller but- more highly trained army into Asia on his triumphal conquest of the world. v Turks Entered Europe There 569 Years Ago. "It was from Chanak in 1353 that the Turks crossed to their first foothold in | Europe?a crossing that gave Europe a problem that has bred wars and massacres and broken treaties for more than 500 years. "The Sea of Marmora into which the ; Dardanelles and the Bosporus widen, forms a barrier .between Asia and Europe. The roads between the two continents lie across the two straits at its ends. Constantinople at the [ narrowest point of the Bosporus, is the ' front door; Chanak, where the Dar' anelles is most constricted, is the ohek door. It is natural enough, perhaps, that almost all of the historic invasions of Europe from the Bast should have been by the back way, and that there again today (I rent Britain j should have made an important stand, j Solar Plexus of Dardanelles. "Castle after castle, each fortified,; comes into view on both the Asiatic I and the European sides of the Dar- I danclles as one steams from the Aegean toward Constantinople. But Die j narrows opposite Chanak arc reserved for the castles: The Castle of Asia on the right, the Castle of Europe on the left. Tlx- Chanak fortifications were first constructed in 1470 not bug ?? Constantinople fell to the Turks. Ever since Chanak has been a place (f importance. In recent dread's it has been the point of administration?for all the Dardanelles defenses?the solar plexus of the oil Br straits, tierman artillery experts re3idcd there during the World War and modi raised the fortifications. "Chanak, to. has been the gateway to Constantinople for shipning.
