Sintered at the postolBce at Ibrt Mill, 8. ^C. as mall mattes of the TRUR8DAY, FEB. 9. 1921. The national Democratic committee la In the midst of a wrangle over the advisability of retaining George White as chairman. Friends on the committee of former Governor Cox, candidate last year for the presidency, are opposed *to . displacing White, while committee members known to be friends of William G. McAdoo are insistent upon the immediate retirement of White and more than half the members of the committee have requested him to call the body together a few weeks hence. Thus begins the fight the country will witness for control of | the party machinery and the party leadership In the next presidential I election. Governor Cox's friends say that because of conditions following the war he was' marked for defeatl from the day ho was nominated and that In the face' of Insurmountable difficulties he made a campaign which entitles him to a second nomination. Of course this view is not shared by the friends of McAdoo who argue that Governor Cox was so badly beaten last fall that it would be folly to again nominate him and that a good wuy to apprise the country of tho fact that he is not to be considered for the party .leadership in 1924 is to remove the man he selected as chairman. Regardless of what may he said about Governor Cox again leading the party, there is no doubt, tn our opinion, of.the wisdom of the plan to force White out of the chairmanship. The Job is too big for htm. A few dayB prior lo the election ,la8t fall The Times expressed the opinion that Governor Cox had demonstrated his capacity for leadership and that regardless of the outcome ot The election, no shop 1 he put lcrward as the party standard-bearer in 1924. But since then we have reached the conclusion that there Is much to be said on the other side of the question. We expect to see the Itepubllcan party fall down on the job of running the country during the Harding administration and If the Democratic party displays wisdom in the selection of Its nominee three years' hence, the country will ho it a humor to turn.to him. McAdoo may be that man. The country by that time will have put behind it ytho senseless prejudice against President Wilson which operated so strongly last year against the former secrotnry of the treasury. Meanwhile little attention should be paid to what Champ Clark says In this or nnv MKaw " ?j vmhii kuuimuiion uiecuDg tne Interest of the party. Lens than a month remains of the eight years Woodrow Wilson will have Berved as president of the United States when his second term comes to an end on March 4, next. A generation hence boys and girls reading of the great men America has produced will ask of their eldors if they remember anything of the mnn under whose direction this country made victory certain for the allies In the World war. Wilson's place in h*f.toiy Is fixed. The snapping and snarling of the poodle dog politicians at his hoels will 'be forgotten In a few years and he will stand out for all time as one of the grentost men If not the greatest man America has produced. What a pity thnt a man of his accomplishments and culture must give way to mediocrity. llardlng may be a good man?we hope he la?but his brain Is to Woodrow Wilson's what mud Is to marble. ? A school teacher suggests (hat The Times might be Improved by contributions to Its columns from juvenllo .writers?not writers of Juvenile stuff. The suggestion Is received in the spirit of helpfulness In which It was intended and la forwarded to the public with a like suggestion? ? that children should be correctly Informed by school teachers as to the difference In meaning of the noun principle and the" adjective ^ principal. \ WILD DOCJ6 IN COMMUNITY. J A. Scott homtM Source of Provtl\ deaoc Panther Scare.

Kd*t? ao enthusiastic hunter, bavins for yebra covered all the hunting ground Of this seetlln tot any kind of game. He says that for a long time there fias been a breed of dogs, probably the shepherd crossed with the bull dog, running .wild in the thlekete along the creeks near the old cemetery, a short distance to the northeast of Fort Mill. The animals are elusive and shbw a decided tendency to fight when .their way of escape seems threatened. Utters of pups have been found by young Fort Mill boys in small dugouts near town and the little animals have shown a bad disposition ana were hard to domesticate after being brought to homes here. Tuesday afternoon while In the locality where the "panther" was last reported to have been seen Ed caught a glimpse of a swiftly moving animal and got his gun ready to shoot It, but as the animal came clear of the bush he saw that It was a $ark brown dog, one of the breeed which he had known for rears. Except for bis knowledge of this peculiar breed of dogs, Ed says he might have ta1.? tv- ? ? ?-- -? - ?vii ?>?v annual iui aiiuusi any Kiuu of a stranger. Ed was accompanied on the (rip Tuesday afternoon by a reaponslbe White man who suoports the statement of the deceitful appearance of the animal, and was followed by Billy Ross, highly esteemed farmer of the community, who Is Inclined to the belief, after this experience, that the "Providence panther" la stmpy one of these wid dogs.
