Thb Enquirer will be sent from this Issue to the 1st of January, 1902, for 54 cents v^in advance. f The Picnic or ine veterans. October 2, the day of the picnic to be given at Catawba Dam, under the auspices of the Confederate veterans of York county, comes on Wednesday, instead of Tuesday, as incorrectly stated in the last issue of The Enquirer. The official order for the picnic appears in another column, v Quite Ancient. ^ In the course of trade, Mr. L. R. Williams, of the York Implement company, has come into possession of quite an ancient mowing machine. He got it from Mr. R. N. McElwee, who bought it from the late T. S. Jefferys in the later '60's, and has been using it ever since. The machine is still capable of doing good service. "Alai, Poor Yorlck!" While working the Rock Hill road, on the eastern outskirts of Yorkville, a party of hands found a curious round bony skull, the exact nature of which they could not make out. Some thought it the skull of some kind of an animal that they had not seen, and others had various opinions. Dr. Miles Waikor hatmened along, and at once Identified the object as a human skull. From careful examinations, he decided that the skull was that of a Negro, and that the owner of it was more than 40 years of age when it was discarded. This latter fact was evidenced by the absence of the sutures that divide the skull of younger persons. The skull had been lying around loose for quite awhile, and had been partially burned on one side, probably in a brush fire. From the general condition of the skull, and apparent evidences of decay, Dr. Walker Judged that it had probably been out of active service for 50 or 60 years. On this point, however, he could only speak with approximate accuracy, basing his opinion on comparisons with other accurate data that had come within his experience. Of course the doctor keeps the skull. It is now to be seen at his office. From a Commercial Standpoint?R. G. Dun's trade rewiew, issued Thursday, has the following: "When a great leader falls in battle his army grieves; but does not abandon the attack. Rather it is urged onward by a desire to accomplish the task to which his life was devoted. Victories of peace are greater than those of war, and no man has been so conspicuously associated with the industrial development of the United States as William McKinley. Facetious comments on the "advance agent of prosperity" were turned to wonder and admiration by the steady gains in business conditions. Instead of buying more than we sold, foreign markets were secured to such an extent that a favorable trade balance of J650,000,000 was secured for the last fiscal year. Instead of London and Paris taking all the large bond issues offered, loans were placed In New aconc Decause ui the abundance of funds available, even British consols coming here recently. "While achievements little short of marvelous have already been accomplished, the natural resources of the country are by no means exhausted. It seems most fitting at this time to look hopefully into the future and earnestly continue the march onward and upward under a new leader that was planned and desired by the one who was taken away ere the position was fully attained with which this name is always associated in the minds of the grateful and patriotic people." Pension Frauds.?The United States is spending more for pensions than it costs Germany to maintain the greatest army in the world. For the tax laws and their loose administration we as a profession have but a limited responsibility. We have personally known of manj\ instances in which poor physicians, placed in office by poorer politicians, have so construed their duty that the worthy pensioners and the taxpayers have both been defrauded by the fraudulent medical certificate. There is a professional responsibility here which we should not shirk. When most reputable newspapers report, as in the excerpt which follows, it is time that we recognize our duty: Medical examinations are tending to become a mere formality, to enable any community where ex-soldiers are found to "get even" with all other communities in the drawing of pensions. A specific instance is mentioned by Mr. Leupp, where a medical ooaru 01 inree examiners passeu o* cases as being pensionable for heart disease all in one week. These seemed so extraordinary that 12 of the claimants were ordered for re-examination before a medical board in another county, and an army surgeon of the civil war was sent to witness the reamination. Not a single case of heart disease was found In the twelve. To make assurance doubly sure the army surgeon then personally examined the twelve, and he confirmed the report that not one of them had heart trouble in any form.?American Medicine. Will Not Be In thf Caiiinet.?'The speculation, says a Boston dispatch, in which some newspapers are indulging as to the probability of Senator Lodge being asked to enter President Roosevelt's cabinet in the event of a new one being formed, has been a source of considerable interest among the friends of the junior senator, who are aware of the intimate relations which exist bebetween the two. It can be said with almost as much authority as though it came from the mouth of Senator Lodge direct, tnat unuer no circumstances would he become a member of the cabinet, either as secretary of state or in any other capacity. In speaking: of the matter, a close personal friend of Senator Lodge said he was positive there was absolutely nothing in the talk that he might be secretary of state under the new administration. The Telegraph Was Silent.?One feature absolutely unique in history characterized the McKinley obsequies. It was the silencing of the telegraph. Upon orders from the officials of the different telegraph companies or upon the common impulse of the operators where direct instructions were not received, the great telegraph system of the United States was suddenly hushed at 2.30 p. m., the hour set for the lowering of the president's body into the grave at Canton. At that moment on all the huge network of wires from the Atlantic to the Pacific, not a "sounder" in the land gave a single tick. It is estimated that fully 100,000 telegraphers thus simultaneously paid homage to the memory of Mr. McKinley. The total number of miles of wire affected was upwards of a million and a quarter.

Of course If you told It to me, I will not fall to recollect' that the promise was made, even though It may slide out of your remembering apparatus; but of course, I hope that you are one of the kind "THAT NEVER MAKES A PROMISE THAT YOU DO NOT EXPECT TO KEEP AND NEVER FORGETS ONE." If you are that kind, of course you will notify me in due time as to when your present policy expires and authorize me to renew it. If you only made the promise to yourself, I have no means of knowing about it, and shall have to depend on you to let me know when you are ready. Even though you have not yet promised EITHER YOURSELF or MYSELF that you would place the insurance in my agency, I hope you will yet make up your mind to do so.
