All On a Level. ,Now that the postofflce department agrees to deliver mail free of charge to individuals living along the star routes, all clubmakers are on the same level so k far as delivering papers are concerned. Heretofore, the route carriers had certain advantages. They made going on their clubs a condition of free delivery. Either that, or they required the clubmakers to pay them for the delivery of papers to people who were not on their clubs. This is all changed.' Every club maker hah exactly the same advantage as the route carriers. The subscriber is free to give his name wherever he see fit, and have his paper delivered free all the same. This is a consideration. / Fire In Rook Hill. /V Rock Hill correspondence , Columbia State, October 28: A small fire occurred at 5 o'clock this morning at the Southern cotton platform and about 50 bales belonging to Springs. Moore & Co., were burned. Our new water works proved their efficacy and put out the blaze in 10 minutes after it was discovered. Loss about $3,000. It now appears that there were four distinct attempts to burn cotton here this morning. At 1 o'clock there was a blaze in a row of Friedheim Bros.'s cotton in r*??r of Hand Bros.'s restaurant. Mr. Hand and others extinguished it with a bucket of water. At 5 o'clock the 50 bales at the Southern platform were burned. A half hour later -Mr. Campbell, of the South Carolina and Georgia office, found a bale of pickings on fire upon his company's platform. While at work upon that the alarm was sounded from A. Frledheim & Bro.'s platform In rear of their store. All of these small blazes were subdued without any trouble and without allowing a spread. It was very apparently an incendiary attempt". D??th of Nr. John Rosch. Rock Hill correspondence Columbia State, October 26: Mr. John J. Roach, one of the oldest citizens of Rock Hill, died this morning at 3 o'clock at his residence on East Main street. Mr. rs.ua.vil naa 1U1 man; jcaia a fri Will I nent merchant here, where he has passed his whole life of about 65 years. . and was a member of the firm of Ivy * & Roach; also that of Jones & Robertson. In his later years, while his health has been quite precarious, he has had charge of the old Jones estate, as agent of the Carolina bank, of Columbia. The deceased was a Mason and was one of the most open-hearted and kind men that ever lived in Rock Hill, and when health permitted was always the first to respond to the sick and suffering. He and his wife, who preceeded him to the grave only a couple of months ago, were among the original members of the First Presbyterian church of this city. He leaves five children?Misses E. J. Roach. Nellie, Mary and Margaret, and Mr. Wm. Roach. The latter reached here from his distant Texas home this morning. Mr. Roach's death was from paralysis, which commenced about 10 a. m., on Thursday, and was brought on by the rupture of some small blood vessel in the brain. WITHIN THE TOWN. ? The individual who comprehends the meaning of the word "never," should not be at a loss to understand Mr. McMahan's telegram to S. A. Chambers. ? Rev. H. W. Bays win noiu tne mat quarterly conference of this year for Yorkvllle station, in Trinity ehuren, next Friday night. He will preach Sunday morning at 11 and Sunday evening at 7.30. ? Trinity Sunday school will have its annual missionary rally next Sunday afternoon at 3.30. An elaborate programme of exercises has been arranged, and a cordial invitation has been extended to the public to participate. ? There was quite a 'large congregation out at the Baptist church Sunday night to hear Rev. Mr. Basmajian's sermon on "The Cross vs. Crescent." There was hardly standing room in the cnurch, and the sermon was very much enjoyed by all who heard it. ? The advertisement of Mr. T. W. Speck in today's Enquirer, reads like an editorial in a solid, substantial newspaper of the kind that does not t get excited over politics, or allow It- ? . self to drop into partisan bias. It Is _ r characteristic of Mr. Speck and is about true. / C ? Mr. S. A. -McElwee dropped four $20 1 bills on the street last Friday. It wa3 r some hours before he discovered his i loss and he had no satisfactory recolI lection as to what might have become of the -bills. He told several people: , but heard nothing until Monday night. A Negro boy, names I<ee James, told , Policeman Rose that he had found $80 Saturday, and that he had been robbed ? of it. Mr. Rose begun work on the case and yesterday morning had succeeded in recovering all of the money, -j ' ? So far.as the reporter "has inforriia- d ' tion, only a few young people have g l signified their intention to take advan- p tage of the opportunity that is offered 0 by members of the K. M. M. A. facul' ty for night instruction in bookkeeping, 1 stenography anfl typewriting. Rather 1 than otherwise, this is disappointing. ^ . Although none of these accomplish> ments are especially difficult, they can- v not be easily acquired without compe- 0 tent instruction. It does not follow g that having acquired these accompli shi ments, the student is. ready to at once command a desirable'position at a big salary. But all three are good things to know, especially bookkeeping, and "| no time that Is spent in learning them J is wasted. All such knowledge is cal- n otonr? th? nnsspssor in srood h , stead, at some time or other, and why v, young: people waste such opportunities a as they have to acquire it. is a problem f< that even older people who have been along there, And difficult of solution. ? The . illustrated lecture of Rev. Mr. Basmajlan, the Armenian, in the court house, last Monday night, was a very "I t entertaining affair. The audience num- 1 bered something like 400 people, includ- tl ing a large proportion of children. The t^ lecturer sought to both amuse and in- "V struct, and Judging from the demon- G stration, he succeeded admirably. He V is a good singer, and at the outset he ei captured the full sympathy of his au- tl dlence by a well planned artifice. He "V sings in Turkish, Armenian, Greek and w English. For his first illustration he took the familiar old song, "Where is My Boy Tonight?" Rendering it first in one strange tongue and then anoth- ? er, until the audience recognized It. he started off in English with an invita- "1 tion for assistance, and in a moment 1 drew the large audience into the cho- si rus. From thence onward the crowd 7 belonged to the lecturer, and was V? ready to be pleased with whatever y might follow. -Next Mr. Basmajlan P captured the young people by dressing m up two little boys in Armenian cos- a tume?one as a young man and the other as a young' woman?and putting them through the marriage ceremony, g as in his native country. This helped bl to still further interest the young peo- r( pie. Next he showed a number of mis- T cellaneous pictures, some of them art- R works, and others sacred, humorous. comic, allegorical, etc. Twice he felt jr for the patriotism of his audience, and S{ both times with great success. One of a] his pictures represented a storm-tossed tj ship on the ocean, which he described _ as containing Armenians fleeing from the despotic oppression of Turkish rule. The ship suddenly disappeared, and in its place was a great bust of r George Washington, enfolded within ^ the stars and stripes, and under it the legend, "America, the Land of the f ree. me tnuureii gave a piuiuugcu round of applause that betokened the extent to whicfi their feelings had been aroused. Later Mr. BasmaJIan told of E the diplomatic correspondence between the United States and Turkey over the $100,000 indemnity demanded by this country of Turkey for the destruction ' of the American mission in Armenia. He described the procrastinating habit m of the Turks in uealing with such p matters, and then announced how he had read in a newspaper a few days ago that Minister Strauss was to return to Turkey soon with a peremp- 1 tory demand for the immediate payment of that $100,000, and the under- c< standing is that if the money is not Cl paid Mr. Strauss will return home again and leave the matter to Dewey. l? Sampson, Schley and the others. This n aroused the children to renewed wild s< cheering.

It makes no difference whether the young ladies may be able to pay her tuition without missing it or not, the $60 thus saved will come C? in very nicely. But compared with a ^ i year's tuition in either Due West or Converse, the sum of $60 is a small 12 item. The ladies who get these schol- ^ arships will not have to do anything J like $60 worth of work. Those who fail al to get the scholarships will be well paid for all the work they may have M done. This Is one of the prettiest con- fsiderations about The Enquirer's ^ proposition. Si $10O Reward, $100.
