BADLY BEATEP Parte, Sept. 10 (By the AteoaUUt Press).?The Turkish Nationalist! ending their two weeke' oempaifi have swept the Greeks out of Ash Minor and the Kemalists, who yoeter day entered Smyrna, took prisone the remnants of the Greek forces re mpiningi behing. to cover the wfk flight of the Grade army that a monti ago held securely a large part e western Asia Minor and talked o: Marching through Thrace into Con stantinople. rue Turks ran a race with th< diplomats, their leaders say, and wot the race, for Turkish arms settled in a few days and settled finally, according to Angora advices, the problem of how Asia Minor is to be divided, a problem with which diplomacy has been struggling for three years Smyrna, which has been in a state of chaos for three days, since the Greek high commissioner took to a warship in fear of his life, is now i hotbed of typhus and plague and m crowded with thousands of refugees without food. The allied consuls and naval contingents, including the Americans, lad begun the restoration of ordei is soon as they arrived, but the Turks lave taken charge of Smyrna and their first efforts have been directed toward staqtping out apVfemics and relieving distress. Smyrna, trhich aas been the goal of the Nationalists is Angora was that of the Greeks, toon will witness, according to dispatches from Angora, the ceremoni)ua and triumphant entry into the :ity of Mustapha Kemal Pasha and >thers of the Nationalist govern nent. me seething ferment of Asia Minor now seems to have been transferred to Athens through the returned troops. Dispatches from the 2*eek capital say and there is much alk of Constantino's second descent from the throne and the return of Veniz?h>B to power. The Greek soliiers evacuated from Smyrna were >rdered taken to islands in the Aegean sea there to be disarmed and lemobilized, so as to avoid possible rtouble da Athens, but the soldiers ire reported to have threatened the hips officers and eompelUd them'to h1 through the streets shouting insults to the king and demanding re:urn of Venizelos. A "Coclcadad Affair" In a poster dated "Lincolnton, N. C., Sept. 5, 1922," and signed "Rev. Baxter F. McLendon, Bennettsville S. C.," occurs this expression, together with a reference to the "hireling editor of The State": "Ana it is up to tne people 01 souvn Carolina to say whether they want ft real governor or a jumping-jack, and rubber stamp who will be pliaLle and plastic in the hands of August Cohen, president of the Columbia Machine, who has been governor oi this state for eight years and is now seeking a fifth term." Search of the Columbia city directory and the telephone book ' ii?.? to reveal the name of "August Cohen.' We never heard of him before. TVl'ln.ps some of the North Carol;..Iftl'S, in Lincolnton, have bee.i suingleg Mr. McLendon. The name most like "Augusr. Cohen" in the directories is August Kohn, a business man of Columbia formerly active in newspaper work af correspondent of the Charleston New and Courier. Mr. Kohn, by the way returned a few days ago from a twc months' stay in a Baltimore hospital and is friends all over South Caro lina will be glad to hear that he ha: cpme bome in good health in time U vote in the second primary. One fears that the North Carolin ians bsrre pot something over th< good man. "August Cohen?" If Mr Mc London were struggling with th< illusion that August Kohn had beet governor eight years he would knov how to spell his name. In Laurens they would say that th< trick played on the evangelist was ; "cockaded affair."?The State. Attention, Ladiei!

Dynamite," will appear in tomor? row's issue of the News sod Courier. "There axe parti of South Carolina r where some people may feel that it - does not matter very much whether I or not th,e governor of the state is a I thoroughgoing Democrat t "There are parts of South Carolina I where white men may be ready to * vote snqssstionlngly for a man who Is on close terms with the state's Re> publican boss and pap dispenser. are parts of South Caro1 lina where the fact that a candidate fov governor ooenlv reioiced *t th? - ejection of a Republican president - 4pl the capture of the government ' by Republicans may not militate se riously against him with some of the 1 voters. 1 "Is this true in those counties 1 where the whites are a decided minority? Is this true in the counties 1 where the Democratic party is the ' only protection of white men against negro rule? "There is no question whatever > that the Republicans would like to strengthen and build up the Republt1 can organisation in this state. Nor 1 is there any question that with the 1 governor of tRe state on olpse terms ' With the Republican boss the way ' would be opened to this under more 1 favorable conditions thsn have exist1 ed since the state was redeemed from carpetbag misrule in 1876. "This is why Mr. Blease's relations ' with 'Joe Tolbert, the boss of the Republican 'Black and Tans' in South Carolina, has caused such serious concern to the men who remember the difficulty with which the people of this state threw off the yoke before. "To fool with any situation which might mean putting the negro back into politics in South Carolina is to fool with dfnamite. "There are plenty of men still living in Charleston and Colleton and Berkeley^?ndr^eorgetown and other low country counties who can remember when in this section we had negro legislators and negro magistrates and nsgne congressmen. 'biSI&ktgTgtoi" % faced with the grave possibility of having to experience these very things again. "The Democratic organization, holdThg the white men of the state together, is the one protection which the voters in the coast counties have against a return of the negro in politics. ^ "Voters in some of the up-country ' counties may feel that they can afford to take chances in this matter and may treat it lightly. There they have a big white majority. It is far otherwise with us in the whole lower section." | Card of Thanks r We wish to thank our many friends, doctors and nurses for their every kindness shown to us an^ our. dear , mother, Mrs. M.
