Mr. Bryan's Revolt.
Mr. Rr.van has thrown down
the crape at. last, and is in open
conflict with President Wilson, j
The lonp-looked for break has
come, the lonpr expected challenge
has been uttered. Mr.
Rrvan has come now to the point
towards which in spite of his
denials, he has obviously beer
headinp since he resigned his
post as Secretary of State. He
is the declared leader of a faction
arrayed against. Woodrow Wilson
and has struck the first blow
in a political warfare having as
its aim the defeat of the President.
There can be no misinterpretation
of Mr. Bryan's challenge.
It is a declaration of war. It
means that all the influence of
the Nebraskan will be employed
for the unhorsing of Mr. Wilson.
The President is definitely and
finally committed to the specific
programme of preparedness
which he endorsed in his address
at the Manhattan Club. Mr.
Bryan emphatically, even vehemently.
has denounced that
programme as a "menace to our
p;5ace and safety" and a challenge
to the spirit of Christianity.?News
and Courier.
Too Many Laws.
Within two months the 1916
session of the General Assembly
of the State will be in session.
Perhaps we may be permitted a
word or two in expressing an
opinion as to what the body
should do, or, rather, what it
should not do. Our observation
is that no Statewide laws of importance
are pending or are apt
to be introduced. Already there
are too many laws on the statute
books. Thomas Jefferson it was,
we believe, who said that the
least governed people are the
best governed. What t he Sage of
of Monticello said in this connects
true today as it was a century
ago. For years it has seemed to
be the policy of each succeeding
General Assembly to try to outdo
its predecessor in the number of
laws passed. Many laws to be
found in the statute books are of
trivial character and are more
honored in the breech than in
the observance. There exists
not a few such laws which are
unknown to the peop'e and in
consequence are violated daily.
There was no demand for them,
^" **
I I
and there is a general lack of
information concerning them.
Sometimes it has seemed to us
the motive actuating members
of the General Assembly in insisting
on the passage of this or
that worthless law was not how
much good the commonwealth,
would derive from it but rather
personal gratification and perhaps
the little prestige its enactment
would afford the member
when he returned to his constituents
with the statement that he
was the author of the measure.
There are, as we have said, many
1 4.1 A A. .-A - 1 1 1*1
laws on me statute dooks wrucn
we were better off without, and
we trust that the General As-,
sembly of 1916 will have a care
in passing legislation of doubtful
value.
World's Work has just taken
a poll of two hundred and sixty- :
one representative newspapers of
all parties on our preparedness 1
for war. Two hundred and fiftysix
were for stronger defense, j
the other five were "either more
interested in other aspects of our
relation to the possibility of war,
or were so luke-warm towards I
preparedness as to suggest an
opposition they did not express."
i
The Rock Hill Record accuses
the Yorkville Enquirer of trying
to "hop:" the public printing.
This may or may not be true,
but The Enquirer has of late
been doing a lot of squealing.
When we get able to "wheel"
a Ford* rent a dress suit, and
pay tax on a wooly Poodle dog
we are goin' to break into sassietv.

The government's chief activ-1
ity at this time could be well employed
in aiding new steamship
lines to South America.
T
In strict neutrality you never
: satisfy your friends and are sure
to antagonize those who will not
understand your motives.
It takes the man behind the 1
i gun to win the battles, but it
takes the woman behind the man I
to keep him there.
Some people save manners, '
j others save rations, yet at times
j it is possible to save both manI
ncrs and rations.
A congress of neutral nations
might satisfy themselves, but i
would their decision satisfy the ,
warring ones.
It took W. J. Bryan twenty
years to gain a reputation and
twenty minutes to lose it. ?

Whv, of course?
The fodder's in the pumpkin and the
frost helps out the dew,
But what I want ter ax is. What's a
feller gwine ter do
When old New Year, lying waitin', ,
hits or double-fisted blow,
And there's nary a drop to follow i
where the good ones used to go?
It's depressing.
Fort Mill Nan in Accident.
An accident nearly resulting
in serious harm for both parties
took place Sunday afternoon .

graded school building when a
motorcycle ridden by Love Bennett
of Fort Mill collided with
O. E. Wilkins' automobile. Mr.
Wilkins' car had been standing
in front of a house on that street
for some time and the driver was
turning around preparatory to
starting for town when the fastdriven
motorcycle collided with
him. The motorcycle suffered
some serious damage and the
automobile was also damaged,
the steering gear apparatus getting
the worest experience. Fortunately
neither driver suffered
any more than a severe shaking
up and the other passengers in
Mr. Wilkins' car were not
harmed.?York News.

Defense Ready for Trial.
Some doubt has been expressed
as to whether the Isenhowercase
from Fairfield county.

We are the "I

Agents for
More than 200 botl
in wnieh three uien oTe indicted
for the murder of Sheriff Hood,
Raleigh Boulware, a deputy, and
a negro prisoner, would be tried
at the next term of court for
York county, which convenes on
November 22, but it now appears
that the case is to be tried. A
letter ha* been received from
C. L. Blease, one of the attorneys
for the defendant, Isenhower,
asking that a copy of the jury
list be sent to him. This would
seem to show that the defense
is ready for trial and in addition
it has been stated within the
last few days that local attorneys
will probably be secured by
both the Slate and the defense.
It is known that the defense has
made overtures to a well known
Vork attorney .to become interested
in the case?York News.
