George Harvey, In wluue room at Chicago the senatorial coterie decided that Harding should be nominated for president, and who paged the nominee the notice of his selection and, during the campaign, has had a cozy corner on ihe front porch In the capacity of stylist to the candidate, has published in his precious weekly a political car? toon which may prove the ruin of his principal and almost certainlv will cause his own undoing. Allan Ryan was so moved by the "sacreligious lampoon" of th 1 Immaculate Concep? tion and the Sacn d Heart drawn, as he states, hy a cartoonist in the em? ploy of the Republican national com? mittee, that he sent his check for $25, i?00 to the chairman of the Democratic national committee to help defeat the blasphemous enemies" of Governor Cox and the league of nutions. Su? preme Knight Ja men A. Flaherty of the Knights of Columbus declared that "apart from all political considera? tions, this is the gros.-est insult I have ever seen In print against some of the tenderest convictions of million:, of Catholic citizens in the Cnitcd Suites." A hastily called conference of Republican campaign advisers, says the New York World, considered thb advisability of repudiating Harvey's Weekly but decided that it could not la> disowned because of the intimate association of Colonel Harvey with the original sclcetion anc tin- campaign course of Senator Hurdlng. but tin y are said to be deeply concerned about the matter, with recollections, doubt? less, of the Run-hard Incident, m'the ( losing hours of the Dlalne-Clevolund i campaign. The Highway com mission held a meeting this week to consider bids for the $2.500,008 good roads bonds.

The tug, who.a; Hag was flown at half mast, docked at the custom house Quay. Enormous crowds lined the opposite quays* and the nearby bridges. The government authorities In fork immediately notified Deputy Dord Mayor Callahan and the bishop of Cork that no military display [would be permitted at tlio funeral of MuiSwiney and that neither drill? ing, uniforms nor republican army badges would be allowed. The only Irish republican tlag In tho proces? sion, it was stated, must be placed on the coffin, and the procession must not exceed a quarter of a mile in length. Troops will line tho route to see that these regulations are obeyed. The funeral party, which refused to bourd the packet Hathmer at Hol lyhead. arrived in Cork shortly be foro 7 o'clock this evening. The mourners were accompanied by Ar? thur Griffith, founder of the Sinn Fein, and Count Plunkett, a well known Sinn Feiner and member of parliament for North Rosscommon. A delegation from the city council mot the mourners at the station. Dater the councilmen went into consultation with MacSwiney's rel? atives nnd Mr. Griffith and Count I Plunkett at the city hall. The belief was expressed the relatives were in? clined to leave the disposal of the body of the late lord mayor to the government to do with as it might see fit. , During the conference the coffin was transferred from the tug to the dock and the tug departed on its return to Queenstown. For several hours doubt prevailed as to whether the body would be claimed or left with the military. After a prolonged conference in the city hall, however, it was decided to claim it, and shortly after D o'clock this evening a company of Irish vol? unteers and relatives of tho dead lord mayor went to the dock and took possession of the coffin. A huge crowd was present at tho dock. Immediately afterward tho coffin was removed to the city hall, where It will lie in state until the funeral is held on Sunday. There was an im? pressive scene when the body was borno Into the city hall and laid on ?he bier. No one was at the dock to receive the body when the tug arrived. A large milltarv force had been sent from the bairacks in lories and arm? ored cars, but the troops withdrew at 5:30 p. m., leuving only the usual customs house guards on duty at the dock. Perfect order prevails in the city tonight Reform in Roumania Large Private Estates To Be Divided into Small Farms Jassy, Rumania, Oct. 29. ? Ru? mania's Agrarian Reform act giving 5,000,000 acres of state, institutional and private land.* to the peasants, has beon In operation a year and has brought about a degree of content? ment and satisfaction among the pop? ulation heretofore unknown. For the first time in Rumania's history the peasants have been given outright ownership of land. King Ferdinand was first to give up a part of his large i land holdings to tho people. ?The expropriation of large private estates by the government did not please the proprietor classes, but it has hail a steadying inlluence upon tho temper and spirit of the people, who now have little sympathy for bolshe vist doctrines. Nearly 85 per cont of the people of Rumania aro supported by agriculture and under their own? ership the land during the last year has yielded larger and better crops than ever before. Five-sixths of tho population of Rumania consists of the peasantry, who combine thrift with industry. In fact the peasant class constitutes the real Rum?nin. The whole hope of tho country is bound up in it. A large percentage of illiteracy prevails, but the people possess many good quali? fies. One sees the same hand-worked costumes that obtained In the middle ages, the same goodness of heart and simplicity of manner which always characterize highly stratified societies where people know their stations in lite and act accordingly. The bulk of the Rumanian nation still lives in dirt-floored huts made of Woven branches and plastered with mud. These hovels usually arc win dowless and stovelcss. The people sleep upon the Moor or upon benches I with their day clothes on, often six to I ten of them in one miserable low-ceil I od room ten feet square. In many cases the poultry, pigs and cattle occu? py the same room. While Rumanian cities have mad? decided progress during the last 25 years, the country?I he real heart of Rumania--has been pratcically sta? tionary. The ox-drawn wooden plough, the hand scythe, and the Wheat t1n.it used in biblical times are st Ii I to lie seen. Although producing enough wheat to supply all Europe with bread, the Rumanian peasant does not touch while bread. His diet consists almost entirely of a sort of corn-meal mush (mamallga) boiled so stiff that when It cools ll resembles corn bread of the -lit lo i n states. This meagre food, Insufficiently supplemented with fats, is accountable for lh? large amount of pellagra in Rumania perhaps ??qtiulled nowhere els,' in the world.

"Three times as many American citizens were killed or injured at grade crossings in 1917, 1018, and 1919 as were killed and injured during the Revolutionary War," states M. O. Kl |ridge, the A. A. A. director of roads, who gives the American casualties in the principal battles as 6,600 and places the grade-crossing killed or in? jured for the three-year period aa 19,668 men, women, and children, of which 5,605 died of their injuries with? in twenty-four hours of the accident III spite of the combined efforts of railroad and highway officials and au? tomobile clulis, the total number of accidents continues annually at about the same rate. The number of such accidents and dearths for the calendar years 1917, 191S, and 1919, as compil? ed by the interstate commerce com? mission, is indicated as follows: Year Killed Injured Total 1917 1,960 4,764 6,733 1918 1,852 4,683 6,535 1919 1.784 4,616 6,400 Total for 3 years, 5.605 14,063 19,668 These accidents include all persons who were injured or killed by rail? road trains striking or being struck by trolley cars, automobiles, or other vehicles and by trains striking pedes? trians. A great majority of these ac? cidents have occurred to motorists, aa will be seen from the following figures: Year Killed Injured Total 1917 1.083 3,000 4.093 1918 1,131 3,109 4.240 1919 1.232 3.558 4,790 Totals for 3 years 3.446 9,767 13,213 Thus it appears that nearly 70 per cont of those injured and killed dur? ing the three-year period were mo? torists and that such deaths and ac? cidents are steadily increasing from, yen- to year. In fact, there were nearly 14 per cent mure motorists killed in 1919 at grade crossings than in 1917. During the hair year ending June 30, 1920, there were 1.302 motorists killed at grade crossings in the United States. That preventive measures are be? coming monp effective in some states than in others because of grade crossing eliminat 13ns, more cautious driving, and th*? protection of cross? ings by ga os, bells, etc., is indicated by the fact that t tc deaths occurring arc not always i;i direct proportion to the number of machines registered in those states. Tor instance, while New York gained first place in regis? trations, mere motorists were killed in Ohio. Likewise, Pennsylvania, run? ning third in 191) registrations, has fifth phicc on the death list. Massa? chusetts was tenth in registrations, but twenty-four in fatality matters. Con? necticut was twenty-third in registra? tions, but thirty-fourth in grade crossing tabulatior. More people wore killed in Dela? ware in proportion to the number of machines registered than in any. oth< r state. Florida occupies second place on this unenviable list: 1. Delaware, 2. Florida, 3.

It is practically Impossible to climl nate all grade crossings on account of tin- expense Involved The Pennsylvania railroad has al ready spent 160,000.000 in grade cross? ing elimination, hut it is estimated that it would cost $600,000,000 to wipe out the remaining i3.ooo crossings. '?There are thousands of grade crossings, however, which could be eliminated by relocating the main highways ami by cottfliiinfl the bulk of thr highway traffic to one side of the railroad," comments Mr. FSldridge. ,4Very frequently the highway will Wind back and, forth across the tail road tracks and this without appar? ent reason. "I have in mind a highway in Arkansas which crosses the main line of an important railroad nine times in a distance of less than thirty miles. "The greal majority of accidents occur at unprotected i .??ssings over double track railroads where one train may prevent motorists from ob? serving the approach (>l another train, or where the railroad tracks are ob? scured by embankments, building.;, trees, or shrubery. on tin. other hand, many accidents occur ? ber? the tracks are clearly visible in both directions. Buch accidents may b? attributed in plain carelessness or loolhardim - on the part of thv drivers-." "It would see.n th:ir since Ho elim? ination of grade crossings is the only sure method of preventing accidents;, this work should be continued as rapidly as funds can be secured," con? cludes the A. A. A. official, who urges that "every possible effort should also be made to protect the public from accidents on existing crossings and to impress upon the drivers of ;ill mo tor vehicles the necessity lor extreme caution. Gamecocks Scalp Indians S. H. S. Defeats Orangeburg High By Score of 6 to 0 The Sumter footbali squad met the Orangeburg High school eleven in a nice game of ball, played yesterday afternoon in Orangeburg, and de? feated them by the .score of ono touchdown. Both teams played fast and hard ball throughout the whole game. Orangeburg probaly out? played Sumter in the llrst half of the game but Sumter came back strong in the last half and showed Orange burg some speed. The only touchdown made during the game was registered by Sumter during the first two minutes of play when ('handler recovered a fumble by Sumter on the KO-yard line and got away for a goal. Orangeburg lost their best chances of score just at tho beginning of the second quarter when they had the ball on Suniter's 10-yard line with their first down. Sumter pulled to? gether In this critical moment and held the Indians for dewns only allow? ing them to go 5 yards. Burns then punted out of danger. During the second half of the game Sumter was three times within scoring distance, reaching as near the goal as the ten yard line at one time. Kay attempted n held goal but the ball failed to speed between the posts. Just in the last few minutes of play Sumter almost prot away for a touch? down and when the whistle blew an? nouncing the end oi the game the ball was in Sutnter's possession and on Orangeburg's 8-yard line. The defensive work of Burns and Sholar frequently throwing the In? dians back for a loss stood out as a feature of the game. The punilng done by Burns was always stronc and steady. Orangeburg's fullback, Duke, whs probably the star of his team. Sumter had by far the lighter team of the two but met this difficulty with the speed of her men. The present standing of the High school teams are, Charleston, Cam den, Sumter and Col imbia. Sumter's schedule for November is Darlington on the 5th; Columbia, the llth, a game pending on the 1-th and Florence on the 19th, for the county fair. "Are You a Shrincr?
