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. ?

ao enthusiastic hunter, bavins for

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.?

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"

A CARD. y
To Mv Fort Mill WVI?n^?.
Finding that I cannot attend regularly
to my appointments at my Fort
Mill office I have decided to temporarily
discontinue the same. This step
is taken by me with considerable, reluctance,
as tho people of Fort Mill
have been quite generous in placing
legal business In my hands. I desire
to extend to those who have so
favored me my most cordial thanks,
and to say that I will continue to
have a deep Interest in all matter's
pertaining to the welfare and upbuilding
of this live little city and
community.
I hope thut I may be permitted to
resume my office here in the not far
distant future, and. In the meantime,
will be glad to see any of my Fort
Mill friends over at Rock Hill whenever
it may please them to call on
me there.
Yours, very sincerely,,
x Win. J* CHERRY. Attyney.
