Scraps and ?acts. ? Augusta, Oa.. May 31: The Hon. Thomas E. Watson, once a Democratic' member of congress, twice nominated by the Populist i>arty for the presidency of the United States, and who has long been one of the chief controlling factors in politics, as a Populist, in this state, announces in a card, issued today, his return to the Democratic party. His language is strong and forceful and leaves no doubt that he has returned to stay. He calls upon his long time political friends to defeat Thomas W. Hardwkk for re-election to congress. ? Ina, 111., June 1: "I'd rather be * known as a boodler than a liar," said State Senator Daniel Holstlaw in an interview at his home today speaking of his confession to accepting a uriue of $2,500 as a legislator. "Maybe," he continued. "I took the money because I saw everyone else doing the same thing?I can't explain. I made the confession because I could not tell a lie. I don't know?I don't understand," he said, with a helpless air, answering a question of why he, a man owning property worth a quarter of a million dollars, would accept a bribe. "All I want is to sink out of sight," he said. "I knew the indictment charging me with perjury was a bluff, and it didn't frighten me. But when they asked me whether I was paid for voting for Senator Lorimer, I had to tell the truth." ? Washington, May 30: Church growth in the United States has been greater than the increase in population between the years 1900 and 1906, according to the special census rej>ort on the census religious bodies for 1906, now in press. In the principal cities of the country the growth both in the number of religious organizations and communicants was greater In the years mentioned than the increase in population, while in the area outside the principal cities the rate of increase in the .number of new churches established was approximately the same as the rate of population increase, although in the number of communicants the increase in the outside area, as in the cities, was in excess of that in population. Out of every 1,000 people in the 160 principal cities of the country, that is, those which had a population of more than 25,000, there were 469 church members, while for the area outside these cities, there were 363; and for the entire country there were 391. As compared with 1890, the report shows a gain of 90 communicants in each 1,000 of population for the principal cities and a gain of 51 outside of them. Female members in 1906 outnumbered the male members by 32 per cent in continental United States, while in the principal cities the excess of female members was proportionately less, being 960,526. or 23.5 per cent. ? Washington, May 31: Pink Franklin, the South Carolina negro whose conviction of the murder of Special Constable Valentine led to an attack on the so-called labor contract laws of the south, will suffer the death penalty, according to the decision today of the supreme court of the United States. It was claimed by Franklin that the constable came to his home at night and entered without announcing himself as an officer of the law. It was while in Franklin's cabin that Valentine was mortally wounded by a shot. Former Attorney General Bonaparte became interested in the case and after the colored lawyers for ' 3 the condemned man naa appeairu case to the supreme court of the United States, Mr. Bonaparte filed a brief in Franklin's behalf. He contended that Franklin had a right to resist arrest, which was sought to be made on a warrant issued under an unconstitutional law. The law was the socalled "labor contract law" which provided that agricultural laborers, under contract to work were guilty of misdemeanors if they break their contracts after receiving wages in advance. Mr. Bonaparte denounced this law as an attempt to reduce the negroes of the south to captivity. Justice Day in announcing the decision said the court could inquire only into Federal questions. He said the question of resistance of arrest under an unconstitutional law was not raised in time in the state court. ? Former President Roosevelt has stirred things up in England. It was not known just how he would do it; but that he would stir things was reasonably certain. It will be remembered that while in Alexandria, Egypt, recently, Mr. Roosevelt set things in ferment by denouncing the assassination tactics of the Nationalists party. Premier Boutros Pasha had been assassinated a short time before that, and the crime was commonly laid to the responsibility oi tne ^Nationalists party. Mr. Roosevelt in a public speech gave the Egyptians to understand that no political cause had ever been advanced by assassination, and the Nationalists raised a big row. The funeral of the late king over, the Britishers took up the matter of entertaining Roosevelt, and one of the lirst numbers on the programme was to confer the freedom of the city of London. This ceremony took place in the ancient Guild hall last Tuesday, and .Mr. KOUSCVeil, Ol cvuiac, niauv c* si?eech. Iii the course of his remarks, he told the Englishmen that they had given Egypt the best government that country had had in two thousand years; but he did not stop there. He went on to say: "Either you have or you have not the right to remain in Egypt to establish and keep order. If you have not the right and have not the desire to keep order, then by all means get out. But if, as I hope, you feel that your duty to civilized mankind and your fealty to your own great traditions alike bid you stay, then make the fact and the name agree and show you are ready to meet in every deed the responsibility which is yours. When a people treats a sensation as the corner stone of self-government, it forfeits all rights to he treated as worthy of self-government. Some nation must govern Egypt, and I hope and believe that the English nation will decide that the duty is theirs." Mr. Roosevelt dwelt upon the baleful influence of the Nationalists party in Egypt, which had shown in connection with the murder of the premier that it was neither desirous nor capable of guaranteeing justice. Nor had England shown enough of its strength. "You have tried to do too much," he said, "in the interests of the Egyptians themselves. Those who have to do with uncivilized peoples, especially fanatical peoples, must remember that in such a situation as that which faces you in Egypt, weakness, timidity and sentimentality may cause infinitely more harm than violence and injustice. Sentimentality is the most broken reed on which righteousness can lean." With reference to the Sudan, .Mr. Roosevelt said he felt as he did about the Panama canal. Although it might not pay, it was Great Britain's duty to stay there. In his opinion the Sudan would pay any way. It was not worth while to belong1 to a big nation unless that nation was ready to shoulder a big task. He prefaced his remarks on Egypt with the statement that he spoke as an unprejudiced outsider, as an American and a real Democrat, whose first duty was to warn against violence, injustice and wrong-doing wherever found. He proffered his advice only in accordance with the principles on which he had acted as president in dealing with the Philippines, and he declared that the present condition of affairs in Egypt was a grave menace to the British empire and to civilization. Jhr ^(orlirillc tfuquircr. Rntered at the PostufHce In Yorkville as Mail Matter of the Second Class YORKVILLE. S. C.: FRIDAY, JUNK i, 1910. The large acreage of flourishing corn crops in this county is calculated to afford additional comfort to the farmers who own it, especially when they consider the way the speculators have made drakes and ducks of the cotton market this week. A good pile of cotton is a mighty nice thing to have; but every farmer must admit that its value is dependent absolutely on the manipulations of the speculators. When a farmer has a big pile of corn about him, however, he has but little concern as to the price. There really does not appear to he anything much wrong with Mr. Roosevelt's speech to the Britishers in London the other day. It took a good deal of nerve and courage to tell the Egyptian Nationalists not long ago that they could never hope to accomplish anything good by assassination. As was expected, the Nationalists raised a big row. If assassination flourishes in Egypt by reason of the fault of the English?their laxity in doing their duty, and Mr. Roosevelt so thinks?then it was quite proper that he should tell them so. Of course, it may be that Mr. Roosevelt was not called upon to talk politics in either Egypt or England; but that is a matter of taste. The English, however, have the good sense to take what Mr. Roosevelt said for what it is worth, and if he has lhav will eventually avail themselves of it. The Anderson Daily Mail has called attention to two sinners among the newspapers, which have violated the law with regard to publishing the name of the alleged victim of an attempted criminal assault. The papers referred to are the News and Courier and the Spartanburg Herald, and the offense lay in giving all the particulars of the recent case in Fort Mill township. As to whether these papers have violated the law unwittingly, it is not ours to say. This might have happened. The news went out through one of the Press associations under a Charlotte date line, and the telegraph editors of the papers mentioned might have thought that the offense was committed in North Carolina. We do not think either paper would likely plead ignorance of either the law 'or the offense, and at the same time we are doubtful as to whether either one means to test the law. The Mail be lieves the law is a good one, but hopes that some way will be found whereby these two offenders will escape punishment. We dislike very much to say such a thing; but our own view is that the law is not worth a snap. In the first place there is little or 110 real provision for its enforcement, and in the second place we doubt very much as to whether it is constitutional. We have no desire to make a test on our own account, however, and feel no concern about not being allowed to print such information. In printing the name as they did, the South Carolina papers only exercised a privilege thai was exercised by papers in all the adjoining states, including the papers right in the neighborhood of the alleged crime, and if there was any harm in the publicity at all, there was certainly not as much as was caused by tiie Charlotte papers, only fifteen miles or so awav.

It seems that the utility of the aeroplane in war is Himly estab- ret lished. Curtlss could have dropped tei dynamite in the streets of New York and indicted untold damage. His ' speed would have made the possibility of his being hit by a shot from the for earth's surface very remote. Bleriot Irfi and Paulhan have demonstrated that . an aeroplane can leave Paris at dead w of night, bombard London at its pleas- poi ure and escape, granting that defend- Th ing aeroplanes would be unable to ef- at) feet a good defence. The whole question is of importance just now in relation to its effect on the ho proposal to neutralize the Panama canal. As we pointed out recently the Suez canal is neutral, but England O through its control of the entrance to the Mediterranean practically has the ua I canal protected anyhow, her armies in Egypt also being always present to re- en pel any attack on the canal. We have en no Gibraltar to protect the Panama fn canal. Yet the question now arises as ^ to the possibility of an adequate defence in view of the marked progress a" and efficiency of the aeroplane. We < doubt not that the entire matter will ca | in* fully considered by experts, and it may be decided that the canal can be defended in the air by an aerial Meet. th< It seems that with the advent of so wf dangerous and destructive a power as ajj the aeroplane wars will have to cease.

There has been a good deal of valble work done in York county to the d of perfecting rolls of the Confedlte soldiers who served in the war >m this locality; hut no one who ows anything about the matter is at satisfied with the situation. Line of the most sensible and praeti1 steps that has ever been taken in nnectioii with this matter was by ^ general assembly some years ago, ten an act was passed providing that the Confederate soldiers of the ite, dead and living, be enrolled by tvnships and the respective townips rolls be recorded in the offices of i respective county clerks of court. The act referred to was not generalcomplied with. There was no apupriation to pay for the work inlved, and in many counties it was glected entirely. In York county, wever, patriotic old soldiers took up e task and with the assistance of le Enquirer, the rolls were made >re complete than in any other counin the state. These rolls which re recorded in the ornce 01 ine eieiK the court, and which were reproducin The Enquirer, will some day he great value. Hut there is still a good deal more nt can he done, and which should done before it is too late. This >rk could have been done better ten ars ago than it can be done now; t it can be done much better now an live years hence. In fact each cceeding year adds to its difficulty, d if it is to be done at ail, it should t be postponed any longer, line thing we have in mind is to get as far as possible a complete roll of the York county soldiers. Give the me, rank and command of each, give 4 record as far as possible, whether funded, killed, living or dead, the tiles in which he participated, tell to he married and give the names his living children. This will be quite an undertaking, t it can be done, and if the United uighters of the Confederacy will take the matter lip, it will be a go. The Enquirer will take pleasure in giving ill necessary assistance in the shape of, say a column of space in each issue for an indefinite length of time. The data outlined above may be published in this column, issue after issue, and after it is all in, the whole may be reproduced in a book that will furnish a permanent record. For the space offered and such assistance as we shall be able to give in the collection and preparation of the matter, there will be no charge. The publication of the book will bring up another question, of course, but that can be arranged satisfactorily, and in a manner that will divide the cost of the entire work lightly and evenly among those who will appreciate it sufficiently to buy copies of the book. Here is the proposition. If there be any who care to pursue it further, The Enquirer will be glad to take the whole matter up with them. MUNICIPAL ELECTION. Yorkville's biennial municipal election was held on last Tuesday, and was without incident or a great deal of interest, except as to two or three of the wards. In which there were slight contests.

Paran section of Cherokee township; but for some years a resident of Greenville, committed suicide last Tuesday by taking carbolic acid. Mr. Bettis was about 67 years of age, and had a wife and children. His sons are in the railroad service; but he lias been out of work for some time, and the despondency caused by this is thought to be the occasion of his rash deed. The poison was taken shortly after breakfast, and Mr. Bettis's body was found later in the day lying across a bed. On the mantel piece was found the following letter dated May 16: Dear loving wife and children: It ia with a sad and broken heart that I write this letter to you this dark and cloudy morning to let you know that my heart is broken. I feel that there is no one that cares or loves me, so I have decided to leave this world and try the unknown world. I love all of you dearer than any thing on this earth, but all is dark to me this morning. I want you all to love each other and be good to each other. I do love all of you with my whole heart, but it looks like that no one loves me at all. I want to be buried at Paran church. I don't want you to buy any clothing to put me away in. What clothes I have are good enough for me. I don't want any costly coffin, either?just a plain ? " J- J 1- tUln cottin will ao. un, u is so uain imo morning.

Tell him to be a good boy and love you and be good to you. Tell Grady and Dee to be good, loving boys and help you to get along. Get a place to live at and all stay together if you can. Oh, how I do hate to leave you all in this sin-cursed world, but I will have to go. I hope that you all will forgive me for what I am going to do, but I have prayed over this till I can't see any other way. I have asked the Lord to help me to see some other way; I have prayed day and night over it, but I can't get relief, so I will go. I want to be forgiven by everybody if I have wronged anyone, and I freely forgive those that have mistreated me. Oh, it is awful to think about this way of leaving this world. I have asked the Lord to take me home otner ways, hut He hasn't done It, so I have decided to go this way. It is awful to think of going, hut it is so dark in this world I feel that my time is not worth any thing to any one as I have tried to find something to do. You will find my hody in the grave yard at Paran. Don't have any inquest held over my hody as this will explain everything. So I pray God's richest blessings upon you, my dear wife, and dear loving children. Be good and love each other and everybody. I want you all to so live in this world, that when you come to die that you can sing God's eternal praises forever and praise His holy name. So farewell, dear, loving wife and loving children, so good-bye. Albert Bettis. DINING THE VETERANS. In pursuance of a county wide invitation that included all who wore the grey, and who were willing to participate in the occasion, the Winnie Davis Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, today entertained a large number of Confederate veterans at a sumptuous dinner in the court house | yard. In undertaking the enterprise, the ladies had no definite idea of how many guests they might have reason to exoect. The common estimate is that there are still some seven or eight hundred in the county, prohahl.v more; but the possibility of all of them coming in no wise discouraged the patriotic and loving impulses of the members of the chapter. They bravely published their invitation to all and made their arrangements accordingly. Veterans began to drop in at about 10.30 o'clock, some from different points on the railroads, including Rock Hill, Chester, Lowryville, Hickory drove, Clover, etc., and from the surrounding country by private conveyance. As they arrived in singly and by two's and three's, they assembled about the Liberty street crossing, and in the court house yard and whiled away the time until dinner was ready, in pleasant reunion and renewal of old acquaintances. The members of the chapter were on hand early, some twenty or more of them, and they were on the alert, and prepared for whatever contingency. As the gathering of veterans increased, the supply of good things on the tables grew higher and higher, leaving no doubt as to the most plentiful available supply of hams, chickens, beefsteak, roast meat, bread, cakes, cookies, etc., everything prepared to perfection, and the array calculated to tempt even those who might not lie especially hungry. At the stroke of 12 by the big town clock, the veterans were seated at tables, arranged under the shade of the trees, and they were made welcome in a brief, but appropriate address by Mayor John R. Hart. Then followed prayer by Rev. J. H. Thacker, and the ladles with everything arranged in admirable order, began serving the tables from their bountifully supplied larder near by, and the veterans reii in wim appreciative enjoyment, The reporter spent an hour or more getting the names of the veterans present; hut although he received all the assistance possible at the hands of the soldiers and others he may have overlooked some. The list of those present, as carefully as it could he prepared under the circumstances, was as follows; W. A. Youngblood, S. A. Glenn. E. P. Moore. W. El Erwin, Curtis M. Parrott, J. El Lowry, J. B. Robinson, Jno. D. McConnell, A. T. Howell, W. R. Conrad, Wm. Brown, Perry Manning, T. N. Thomasson, N. D. Glenn, L. L. Smith, E. P. Castles, R. \V. VV'hitesides, W. H. McConnell, T. P. McConnell, S. N. McConnell, W. El Jackson, A. C. McKnight, L. R. Williams, Wm, Sherrer, H. P. Horton, J. C. Chambers, Lawson White, R. J. Withers, John O. Darby, P. L. Pursley, J. L. Gardner, Wm. Ferguson, R. W. Westmoreland, John Moss, T. W. Clawson, Wm. Dickson, John Starr, Joseph C. Kirkpatrick, J. W. Y. Dickson, J. H. Henry, J. S. Chambers, M. S. Carroll, J. R. Lucas, Sherord Childers, M. L.

Davidson, John W. Lawrence, J. C. Harper, Wm. Kennedy, F, D. Davidson. G. H. O'Leary, R. B. Youngblood, J. J. Hunter, W. H. Stewart. At the conclusion of the repast which lasted more than an hour, Veteran E. P. Castles introduced Senator W. H. Stewart, who, in an appropriate little speech thanked the ladies ol the Winnie Davis chapter in behalf ol the Confederate veterans of Yorl< county, and the veterans signified their hearty approval and appreciation with three cheers for the ladies of the chapter. CHEROKEE FALLS. The account of the dedication of tht Union church at Cherokee Falls in ths last issue of The Enquirer was calculated to give the impression that th( handsome building was erected at th? joint expense of the different denominations participating. It was not sc stated; but such an inference war warranted and it is proper to correct it. The building was erected at the sole expense of the manufacturing company, and the assistance of the denominations interested consisted mainly in hearty co-operation withoul which the work would not have beer worth while. It has been stated more than once in The Enquirer that the Cheroket Falls Manufacturing company is a model cotton mill corporation, and this fact is generally conceded by all whc irnr.?, ain'thinc ahont the comuanv's history, progress and condition. It was one of the pioneer Piedmont mills, the first to be established in York county (since cut off in Cherokee), and although it had a long, hard pull before it was finally able to hold its own, for a number of years past it has been reckoned as one of the most prosperous manufacturing establishments />f South Carolina. This mill was built originally during 1880 and 1881, and commenced operations during the year last mentioned with only $75,000 capital. The manager, the late Augustus Deal had every disadvantage to contend with; but nevertheless he made the enterprise a go and steadily increased the capital to $100,000 out of the hard earned profits. On the death of Mr. Deal the work was intelligently carried on by others with fine success until 1894 when the plant was destroyed by fire. At that time there were only 6,600 producing spindles. The insurance was not nearly sufficient to restore the property; but the stockholders raised the balance of the necessary money by assessing themselves and rebuilt, making the main building 100 by 100 feet, . and three stories high. Since then development has been steady and rapid. The main building is now 100 feet wide by 312 feet long, three stories nign ana contains z?,?ou spumics anu 608 looms. The par value of the capital stock is $200,000; but there is none for sale. The entire property is commonly reckoned to be worth about $750,000. The population of the factory village is estimated at close to 700 people, and although It has long been regarded as a model community, the improvement during the past few years has been especially noticeable. For obvious reasons, little could be done during the early years of the company's operations in the way of village improvement. The management did what they could for the social welfare of the people; but that was not a great deal. Of late years, however, the matter has been receiving much attention at the hands of both President Plonk and Secretary-Treasurer Roberts. There is a good hall for the W. O. W., K. of P. and other secret organizations, and now comes the handsome church building, school house and library. A considerable amount of money has been spent in terracing the hillsides on which the village is located, and there has been adopted a settled policy of village improvement. The sanitary conditions are perfect, and the health of the community is all that could be desired. There have been two or three resident physicians; but they have been unable to stay. There is not enough sickness. Such little medical attention as is absolutely necessary, is rendered by Dr. W. Anderson of Blacksburg. But all the progress that is being made at Cherokee Falls, does not go to the credit of Messrs. Plonk and Roberts and nobody is better aware of this fact than these gentlemen themselves. The operatives?the people who are turning out the product?are high class men and women, who have a pride in their work and in their village, and who are demanding that the standard lie raised higher and higher. No drunkards are allowed to make their headquarters about the place and no idlers will be tolerated. Everybody must not only have visible means of support; but everybody must work and worK steaauy. it nits gonen 10 oc so that several years residence In the village is a certificate of worth, and all are j?roud of the fact. LOCAL LACONICS. Until January 1, 1911. We will send The Yorkville Enquirer front this date till January 1, 1911, for $1.20. Territory Overlooked. The Enquirer has been unofficially informed that it is a fact that a law section of territory in the southwestern part of York township had been overlooked by the census enumerators. The territory has since been gone over and although the enumerator has not given out any figures, it is estimated that he counted over .100 people. Runaway Accident. Messrs. W. D. Moore and Joseph A. Jackson of Clover, hail quite a serious runaway accident this morning while on their way to Yorkville to participate in the dinner given by the Winnie Davis Chapter IT. D.C., to the Confederate veterans. The mule they were driving [shied at a rock mi the side of the road and overturned the buggy. Mr. Moore escaped with but slight injuries; but Mr. Jackson was so painfully bruised that the two gentlemen decided not to continue the trip. From such Information as could be had, Mr. Jackson is not dangerously hurt. Negro Escapes From Hospital. Will Rosa, the York county negro, who was shot in the outskirts of Charlotte on Wednesday of last week by Officer Coltharp, while fleeing from S. < arrest for attempted criminal assault piei in Fort Mill township, escaped from pie the Good Samaritan hospital on last tioi Monday night and has not been recap- ? tured. When taken to the hospital, the c?hi negro appeared to l?e in a desperate me condition and he showed no signs of to improvement until Monday afternoon, sen when he appeared to be somewhat 8toi better.

New Idea In Wheat Growing. Wh Mr. James E. Gettys, who lives some ant five miles southeast of Yorkville, has a v'o field of wheat five or six acres in ex- not tent, that attracts the attention of dapassers along the road. It is unusually tt"u good, and its excellence is attributed to the the method of seeding. It was drilled P?' in between cotton rows last fall before tha the cotton was picked, and was ready to to come on as soon as the cotton pick- era ers were out of the way. Shortly after ? the wheat got up the cotton stalks Chi were knocked out of the way, and the am wheat, with every advantage of early mo fall sowing, is now promising to make att as good a yield as if it had had the en- jur tire soil to itself from the beginning. "T1 This idea has been practiced through- SOr out the neighborhood during the past sta few years with much success. . Turner Delivered to York Authorities. Chester Reporter, June 2: Jim Wo Turner, the young white man arrested ani near Cornwell about a month ago by fic< Constable H. C.

Mr. Smith went on to state \v< that Turner is wanted in his commu- jQ nlty for housebreaking and larceny, en and asked the sheriff to hold him gn when his sentence here was completed. th< : Rock Hill's New Depot. ter Columbia Record: Rock Hill is to ag' have the fifth largest, handsomest and po ; costliest passenger depot on the South5 ern's lines in this state.

J. Whitener, form- dei erly of Yorkville, but for more than ! a year superintendent of the Holt tui , Farm at Linwood, N. C.: "About 2 ha o'clock Sunday afternoon the entire 8U' I last year's crop of cotton on the fa- 1? mous Holt farm at Linwood, property of Messrs. J. F. Hargrave and W. G. Br ( Penry of Lexington, was set on fire 1 by two small sons of the superintend- i , ent of the farm, Mr. W. J. Whitener, Qf who were essaying to smoke a cigar- otj ette stub found by them in their yard. The value of the cotton was about no $1,600, and there was no Insurance. th< It was thought that four or five bales jn ' might be saved, but as in all cotton 0f fires, it was difficult to subdue the in- th( , sidious flames, and after a hard fight He all during the afternoon, a whole bale, vel upon being opened, burned up Sunday soi night and two more bales burned wa when opened Monday. The two little ( bovs, one five and the other seven He years of age, found a cigarette stump eai in their yard, secured matches from fat i the kitchen, and hiding behind the tlo cotton house, proceeded to negotiate ms , their first smoke, with disastrous re- an suits. Upon the alarm being given, an; , the entire community turned out and ca: with the poor facilities at hand fought frc I valiantly. The cotton shed was de- inf stroyed, a great quantity of cord ] i wood, and even the residence on the th? (arm caught several times, so fierce fer and stubborn was the fire. The crop "bi had been held for higher prices, and ne; only the day before prices of 15 cent* exl had been quoted by a Concord firm eft to which samples had been sent.
