OmTT TICKET DEFECTIVE.
v Himn of Four Denoetitte Candidates
Omitted In Printing.
A serious error occurred in the
printing of the official York county
. ballot for use in the general election
Tuesday by the 'omission therefrom
of the names of Hugh O. Brown, can
dldite (or supervisor; John &. Carroll,
candidate (or superintendent' o(
education; J. L. Houston, candidate
(or probate judge, and W. R. Bradford,
candidate (or the house of representatives,
all of whom were nom
inoted in the recent primaries to go
in the general election as Democratic
candidates.
Before the ballots were distributed i
Monday from York to the various
election managers throughout the
county, the omission of Mr. Brad-|
ford's name as a candidate (or the
house was discovered and the managers
were Instructed by the clerk Of
court to write his name on all
the party ballots, which seems to
have been done generally. Eut it
was not (intll several hours after the
pollB opened Tuesday that the discovery
also was made that the ballots
did not carry the names of the
* candidates (or supervisor, superintendent
of education or probate
judge. Telephone messages were then
sent from York to the various precincts
requesting friends of the candidates
to see that a few ballots we* e
prepared and voted with the names
of these candidates on them along
with those of the other candidates.
The request was complied with and
thus the expense and trouble of holding
a second election was obviated.
- The defective ballots seem to have
been printed in Columbia, as a telegram
relative thereto from W. Banks
Dove, secretary of state, says that
"upon advice of C.- C. Muller I am
sending telegram to H. N. Edmunds,
secretary State Democratic Executive
committee. Muller is the manager
of the job prlniting department
of The State company, Columbia, and
the inference is that The State company
printed the ballots, otherwise
there would have been- no occasion
for Mr. Dove to consult Muller about
the error.
I Prior to 1914, when the act specify'
ing the site of the balldt to be used
in general elections in this State was
amended, the omission of the names
of the four candidates from the ballot
would have necessitated a second
election; but the General Assembly
that year changed the law to read
that the name of the candidate to
go on the ballot "shall be written or j
printed or partly written or partly
printed thereon in black ink." Thuft
was York county enabled to elect
Tuesday three county officers and a
member of the General Assembly who
otherwise would have had to make
the race in another election.
in sort Mill mere was much criticism
of the carelessness which produced
the error and a number Qf citi- j
sens were heard to remark that if the
ballots had been printed In York
county the error would not hare occurred.
Nothing of the kind had ever
before happened in York county politics,
so far as any one recalled.
Pert Mill Tronnees Win as bo ro.
Although the Fort 'Mill high School
football eleven was handicapped by
the absence from the lineup of tour
of its regular players, the local boys
had little trouble in vanquishing the
high school team front' Winasboro in
Fort Mill last Friday afternoon by
the one-aised score of 74 to d. The
Winnsboro boys were not the equal
of the local lvds in aqiy department
01 the game, as was dsmonstarted
within a few minutes aftar play began.
Wlnnsboro's only score resulted
from a costly tumble by Fort Mill
on her own 20 yard line, giving thevisitors
the opportunity to drop a
field goal over the bar for three
fcolnt*. The score against Winnsboro
was the largest of the season in
the games of the Catawba association.
'Fort Mill made 11 touchdowns.
Might goals wore kicked by Luther
Patterson.- vThe Winnsboro boys tried
hard to win the game, but could not
r> f overcome the euperior knowledge o*
the game displayed by the Fort Mill
team.
The next game of the local boys
Will be With Che Lancaster school in
Lancaster on November 17.

* Interest in the football guse to be l
played In Rock Hill Friday afternoon
between the high school teams of
Rock Hill anA Chester is at fever
beat in those towns and has spread 1
to other towns in this section of the State.
Rock Hill and Chester have
been rivals for athletic honors for
several years and when teams rep re- 1
santing the two towns come together
either on the diamond or gridiron
public interest in the' contest always
is aroused in those communities.

the RocJT Hill and Chester schools
are said to be unusually strong and
u close and stubbornly contested
game Is expected In Rock Hill tomorrow
afternoon. Neither team has
been defeated (firing the season and
each has had what appeared to be an
easy time in disposing of the other
teams in the Catawba Athletic association
Interest in the result of the. game
this year has recently been height-,
ened. if anything by newspape? publicity
both teams have received from
_ihe charge that each has a number of
"ringers" in its lineup. Douglass
Nims of Fort Mill, who is playing
with the Rock Hill team, is one of the
number who has been accued of Ineligibility
because of the alleged
fact that he is a professional athlete.
Ah the story goes, he accepted compensation
for playing professional
baseball with the Columbia and
Charlotte teams of the South Atlantic
league and^ with Lumberton in the
Eastern North Carolina league. Superintendent
turts of the Rock Hill
school denies emphatically, however,
that Douglass is a professional athlete
and aays that he Is a regularly
enrolled high school student in that
town. Schultz, another Rock Hill
luuyer, hi no i8 accused oi Detng I
"ringer."
The home of Collins, a Chester
player, is said to be in New York,
where, It also-is- charged, he has s
wife and two children. A further
claim set up to prove the charge of
Ineligibility against Collins Is that he
Is an ex-service man. Another Chester
player, whose right to participate
in games of the Catawba Athletic association
has been questioned Is said
to have been brought to Chester
from Great Falls solely to play on
the -school's football team and that
ho Is not therefore a bona fide student
of the school.
But whather these stories are true
or not, they do not seem to excite
much interest in either Rx>ck- Hill or
Chester, although there usually Is
some one connected with the two football
teams to deny them as often as
they are made. Outside of Rock Hill
and Chester, however, and especially
in the other towns whose schools
have teams in the Catawba Athletic
association many people believe that
the stories are true and that neither
school is represented by an eleven
some of whose members will hear
close scrutiny. This year will Just
about wind up the Catawba Athletic
| association,' yesterday said a Fort
I LM'lll roan. "And at that it won't be
a nviafortune," he continued, "(or the
end of it will afford, the pupils of
the various schools a little more time
to study their books-"

were made to order the

country market have demonstrated
the complete practicability of

loyal support of all those who sell

KLAN8MEN VISIT CMJRC H.
^ Mi Klu Prewit Pirte to the Rev. ;
W. R. Boaktlfht,
Tike organisation 0C1 a laymen'?
evangelistic club at "tha Fnrt Mill
Baptist church last Sunday evening
was momentarily "interrupted, while
Alexander Long of Rock Hill was
speaking, by tour men wearing the
regalia of the Ku Klux Klan entering
| the church and marching, two
abreast, down the aisles and delivering
to the Rev. J. W. U. byches, pastor
of the church, a letter addressed
to the -Rev. W. K. .Bouknight. pastor
of St. John's Methodist churcn. The
letter, which was read to the audience,
spoke in complimentary terms of (he
work of Mr. Bouknight as a minister
in this community and contained u
substantal check made payable to
him. C
So quietly did the members of the I
klan enter the church and so quickly I
was their mission performed thut j
several who were at the time glaucing
over a paper that had been distributed
in behalf of the laymen's club
did not know of the presence of the
klansmen until they had departed
and the reading of the letter was ,
begun.
Aside from the surprise caused by
tbe -visit of the klansmen to the
church, it was perhaps equally surprising
to many to learn that there
is such an organisation in Fort Mill.
Several months aso an effort was
made to organise a local klan here,
-but the effort apparently failed and
so far as some of those who were
then invited to join knew had been
been abandoned.
The letter of the klansmen tn Mr. i
Louknight follows:
"We ab a committee of the Ku Klux
Klan of Port Mill township, including
in our membership representatives
from all the churches of the town,
desire to donate the enclosed sutu
to Htev. W. <R. Bouknight.
"The local klan also desires to express
its highest apreclatioh for the
great and noble work which -Mr.
Bouknight has carried on in our community
for the past four years, and
also extend * to' him its very best
wishes for the future, now that he
must be separated from us. We
hope and feel sure that he will continue
to serve our 'Master in the
same faithful manner he has in the
past, and may Qod's richest blessings
be bestowed upon him as his rewaVd
for this service.
"The Ku* Klux Klan may be defined
as follows: 'A number of real men,
each of whom is the embodiment of
true American manhood, of kindred
purpose, jctuated by unselfish motives,
dedicated to a manly mission
and pledged to a noble ideal, and
who are voluntarily and strongly
bound together by an unyielding tie,
wholly determined to so live an act
as to safeguard and enhance each
other's Interest and welfare in all the
several relations of life and being.'
"The principles for which the
Knights of the Ku Klux stand are:
Enforcement of the laws, free speech,
free public schools, free prqss, separation
of church and state, liberty,
white supremacy, just lavs, and the
niironlt a# K? % ?! ? ?

; The Hot- W. K*. Bouknight, pastor
ol the Port Mill charge, Including
St. John's, Pleasant Hill' and Philadelphia
churches, left yesterday for
Qaffeny to attend the annual meetig
of the Upper South Carolina Methodist
conference, now in session, with
Bishop Collins Denny presiding.
Mr. Bonhnight will be able to report
a prosperous year for the churches of
hs charge, which have contributed
for all purposes since the last meeting
of conference $9,400 and have
grown 101 in membership.
Mr. Bouknight is concluding his
fourth year as pastor of the Fort Mill ;
charge and under the itineracy rule
of the Methodist church probably will
be assigned to other work for the
nest year. He has many friends In
this section not only In his own congregation
but among the people generally
and all regret that his pastorate
in 'this community probably Is '
tearing tma end.

Qearfe Last of "Big Four."
David Lloyd George, whose term
as premier of Great Britain ended
with the disruption of his coalition
ministry on October 19, outlasted all
the statesmen who guided the great
allied nations through the Wo*-ld
war. In the turmoil of readjustment
that followed the great conflict, he
kept his office when those all around
him were losing theirs. The men
with whom he sat at Paris as the
"big four" of the peace conference'
long ago were toppted over. Premier
Orlando of Italy was the first> to goHis
cabinet resigned in June, 1919.
The following January, Glemenceau,
"The French Tiger," was cast aside.
Two months later the senate of the
United States refused for a second
time to ratify the peace treaty Woodrow
Wilson had brought home from
Versailles, and not long afterward
his party was beaten at he polls.
After all of the other three had
been put aside in their countries
Lloyd George became probably the
most outstanding figure among all
the men of the world who were engaged
in public affafcs. His position,
constantly' in danger from a possible
dropping away of one of the groups
forming the coalition on which his c
government rested, was stregthened, c

How Willi Street Gambler* Control
Few understand the technicul one
ration of the cotton exchanges and
the inBide machinery conducive to the
manipulation of prices, says a writer
in the Dearborn Independent. To this
lack of*kuowledge may be partly attributed
the deficient legislation that
has from time to time been enacted
against the cotton exchanges.
Exchanges in general, and the New
York Stock and Cotton exchanges m
particular, are like giant spiders
spinning an interminable web over
the commercial economy of the nation,
catching the unsuspecting adventurer
in business. The spinning
tras been carried on so long, and has
so many ramifications of political
strength, thut the threads of the web
tiave become . like cables of steel,
which can be cut and destroyed ouly
by the steel saw of public opinion
sharpened to the uctuai truth of the
:nse. * * ~ . * "
The mystery of cotton exchanges?
heir history, fuuctiou, use and abuse,
uid how these giant gambling palaces
keep within the law and' thrive,
:oustiCute a story well worth relating.
At the feast of the New York Cot- .
on exchange in 15*20, in celebration
)f the 50th anniversary of its organisation,
a pioneer member told how
sotton exchanges came into existence,
rie said that buck in the '50s and 't>0s
:otton merchants traded in a more
primitive way, more from hand to
nouth, atMi had not developed the
sroat system 01 buying and selling
or future delivery, or ?ou?racting for
teavy deliveries far ahead, -y-hlch
system, as we know, gives a tremen
ious expansion to business, and, fur- .
her more, instills into it a hlgk^Beusej^
>f honor and trust and develops busness
acumen. Their trading was on
i narrow scale before they lacked
he protective- facilities for largeicule
trading, such as highly organzed
insurance companies to assume
he risks of their stocks.
As the demands of trade grew, - ?
iiowever, one New York merchant
ook the initiative by offering to <1*-**
liver cotton to^?i foreign buyer, at a
fixed price on ft future date several
nontlis ahead. This transaction was
he forerunner of the establishment
)f the New York Cotton exchange. A
ew^years later, in 1870, the exchange
vas established. Thus the cotton
vorld was given u liquid truding eener
for dealing in cotton for future
lellvery. v
There are four great cottoA-futur*
^changes in the world, the two In
America, at New York and New Oreans,
one in Liverpool and one in
Alexandria, Egypt. A seat on the
*?iew York or New Orleans Colon ex:hange
sells as high us $18,000. The
s'ew Orleans Cotton exchange occu>ies
a magnificent new structure, a
ihow place of that city. The Nc w
fork Cotton exchange is constructing
i $2,000,000 building for its future
?ome. There
is a distinction between a
:otton-future exchange and a regular
:otton market where the world buys
lupplies of cotton. Cotton markets
ire located principally in the South-,
trn States, where it is sold to street
>uyers and inerchauts, or stored in
warehouses to toe sold to (actors and * ,
nills. The life blood of the cotton- /
(rowing world flows Ihrough the f
tig spot mavketss, where transactions /
or actual cotton take place. v' " ij-jkj
On the futures exchange, however,
:otton is never seen- A visitor to one
>f the exchanges at first has the lmiression
that he Is entering bedlam,
?r-perhaps a wild animal show. A
lease crowd of 50 or 60 men is hov- red
over a sunken pit, waving arms
ind yelling in hoarse voices, loud
mough to awaken the Seven Sleepers.
I'he yelling is wholly unintelligible
o the visitor. The uproar continues
rom 10 a. m- to 3"p. m. They are all
trokers of the exchange and are
rading in cotton on paper?that is to
ay, are auctioning off contracts,
which represent 100 bales of cotton
iach, 5W pounds to the bale, the colon
supposedly to be delivered at
ome future date. But owing to the
lasticity of the contract, only a very
mall portion of it is ever delivered.
When a contract is sold over the
tfllclgl trading pit, the price per
tound and month of delivery named
n the contract are Immediately
narked on the blackboard of the exhange,
and this quotation Is then
lashed by wire to all parts of the
ottou world, as the latest off: da I
trice paid for cotton for future deivery.
Contracts thus bought and
old are called "futures.''
"Futures" excite in man the paa- %::[
ion to gamble on the ontcome the
nture. The majority of traders, and
a brokers themselves, see so
tttle of raw cotton that tl}ey lose appreciation
of its merits, and do not
?mx to know or care whether they
re trading ia cotton or dralk.oMurke.
'heir consuming. purpose Is to ?rah
