? The August production of pig
Iron In the United States was 90,000
tons below the average, and this
at a time when the demand is greater
than ever known before. The
short production is the result of insufficient
supplies of coal. The railroads
are unable to supply cars sufficient
to transport the coal to the
coking ovens rapidly enough to supply
the ever growing demand for
ooke. Coke is an absolute necessity
in the production of steel. Most of
the rail making plants of the- Pittsburg
district and also the western
and southern rail mills have sold
their products far in advance, some
of them having sold their output up
to the end of 1907. The demand for
steel rails is but an index for the
demand of bar Iron, billets, plates,
structural iron and sheets. Bar iron
has gone up $2 a ton within the past
few days.
? During the past three or four
weeks several steamships have run
aground in different parts of the
Pacific ocean, notably the army
transport Sheridan, and the transPacific
steamship Manchuria, and
later the Mongolia, which went
aground on the Midway islands a
few days ago. It is now believed
that these mishaps are due to considerable
changes that have taken
place in the currents of the Pacific
as the result of earthquakes in midocean.
The Kobe, Japan, observatory
reported a terrific earthquake
as having taken place in the midPacific
several hours previous to the
earthquake which destroyed Valparaiso,
and it is to this event that the
changed Pacific currents are ascribed,
with the result that navigators
being unacquainted with the new
currents are unable to keep off
shoals, etc.
? Hong Kong. China, was visited
a m n?? tprriflf hurricane last
Tuesday, which resulted in great loss
of life and not less than a million
dollars in damage. The hurricane
struck the Hong Kong water front
about 10 o'clock in the morning, and
raged with great fury for about two
hours, and then subsided as suddenly
as it had come. The harbor was
filled with foreign craft, which was
all more or less damaged, many of
the vessels being total wrecks. The
vessels which were not sunk at their
anchorages were hurled up into the
streets of the city and pounded to
pieces in many instances. Scores of
native junks and ferryboats were sunk
In Pearl river. While it is impossible
to give accurate figures as to the
^ - total loss of life, it is certain that the
- death roll will go well up into the
hundreds. The damage to the city
itself was tremendous, and as a result
all business is at a complete
standstill.
? Mayor Dunne of Chicago, is
about to be successful in his efforts
to acquire possession of tfoe street
car systems of that city. It will be
remembered that Mayor Dunne was
elected on a municipal ownership of
the street car systems platform.
csince nis eiecnon w hub wxii i?u6in
at every turn he has taken. The legislature
of Illinois authorized the
city of Chicago to issue bonds to the
amount of $75.000,000 which was to
be used for the purpose of paying
for the traction lines. The validity
of these bonds or certificates was attacked
in the courts and last week
Judge Windes decided in their favor,
at the same time sustaining the mayor
in all of his contentions. The various
traction companies have submitted
figures at which they are willing
to sell out. The aggregate of
the figures is something like $72,000,090.
Mayor Dunne and the
board of aldermen having the matter
in charge, claim that these figures
are too high. They figure that the
entire street car service of Chicago
can be duplicated anew for $70,000,000
or less.
? Senator Bacon of Qeorgla, discussing
the government ownership
of railroads, as proposed by Mr.
Bryan, said in an interview in WashInrtnn
a fpw dnva ajro: "In its nrao
tlcal operations it would be the most
extreme and radical measure of paternalistic
socialism. I can think of a
score of strong and sufficient reasons
against it, and scarcely a good reason
for it?certainly not one that is not
counter-balanced in tenfold degree
by the evils which it would entail.
It would be impracticable for the
government to maintain and operate
220,000 miles of railroads economically
and honestly and build the new
lines that would be required as well.
It would present the most inviting
and unlimited field for graft and
thievery the world ever saw. The
fact that the postofflce department
is successfully run by the government
is no evidence to the contrary
of this. The railroad business of the
United States is, in its magnitude,
scope, Intricacies and difficulties 100
< ?Kot nt th^ nnal.
office department." Senator Bacon
believes that "government ownership
would constitute a political machine
the reach and resistless power of
which cannot be realized."
? One of the most amazing cases
of thievery from the United States
government, on record, was unearthed
at the Philadelphia mint recently,
and as a result Thomas W. Hurff,
for twelve years assistant weigher at
the mint was arrested on Monday
last. According to the secret service
men. Hurfl's alleged falsifying of the
scales has enabled him to steal $18
worth of gold every day. It is
claimed that Hurff has been working
his scheme for six months. The testimony
of the secret service men
goes to show that there are five
or six "melds" of gold, of 6,000
ounces, each day. and the weighing
of this gold, which is being used in
the coinage of Mexican coins, valued
at $3 a piece, has been a part of
Hurff's duty. The system by which
it is alleged that Hurff defrauded the
government was a simple one. A
copper planchette, or unstamped
penny, was either fastened on the
bottom or laid in the pan of the
scale in which the gold is weighed.
One of these planchettes weighed
11-100 of an ounce, which is the exact
weight of the $3 Mexican gold
pieces. Consequently at each weighing
the government lost $3 In gold,
and, figuring on six "weights" a day,
the loss per day was $18. Under the
law the weigher is allowed 10-100 of
an ounce shortage in weight, for
wear, on each 6,000 ounces of gold.
? Charleston, S. C., September 18:
The Clyde steamship New York,
from New York. arrived in port
twenty-four hours overdue this
afternoon, having encountered a hurricane
off Frying Pan shoal^ and later
having stopped to rescue four
m a rlnor* who were elinerinBT to
wreckage In that vicinity. The shipwrecked
men were Chief Mate Gardiner
F. Goold, Caleb Herring, cook,
and Frank Harrington and Manuel
Crabtree, sailors of the schooner R.
D. Bibber. The men were clinging
to pieces of wreckage nearly exhausted,
having been in the water
several hours. On board the New
YoTk. Mate Qoold told of the voyage
of the schooner Bibber, Capt. Sayres,
beginning at Savannah, September
9, when the vessel cleared with
a cargo of lumber for New York.
The weather was bad from the 12th
and on the night of September 16 it
was found that' the schooner was
leaking. The storm was upon them
and the lashing of the deck load
* -J lnmRo?i iront Qilrift
par if u ctuu me luiiiun
The port main rigging was carried
away and a little later the vessel
turned turtle, casting the crew into
the sea. A sailor named Manuel
had been lost before this, and there
were remaining five men. The captain
and a sailor named Anthony
taught a spar and Mate Goold and
three others clung to a piece of the
deck. For hours the New York
searched for Capt. Sayres and the man
but they had disappeared. The rescue
was made at the height of the
storm and showed skill and courage
on the part of Capt. Staples.
? A Rock Island railroad passenger
train, known as the Texas, Kansas
City and Chicago express, went
down with the bridge over Cimarron
river near Dover, Okla., Tuesday
morning, and as a result not less
than twenty persons lost their lives.
The train consisting of an engine,
two baggage cars, three chair cars
and a Pullman sleeper all went Into
the river except the Pullman sleeper.
Of all the passengers on the
train, only one Is known to have escaped.
His name is Clyde Geist. In
relating the experience he said:
"I Van slttlfig- in the front compartment
of the smoker, In readiness to
get off the train at Dover. . The only
other person in that part of the car
was the negro porter. There were,
perhaps, seven or eight men In the
other compartments. Immediately
after the engine passed into the
bridge I was aroused by three short
shrieks of the whistle. I felt the
train sinking beneath me, but easily
and without lurching. I ran to the
front door, but by the time I reached
it the train was in the river and water
was about my knees. The depth
of the water possibly was about twenty
feet where the bridge broke. To
save myself ,1 began to scramble to
climb on top of the smoking car.
The porter was ahead of me. I had
great difficulty in lifting myself from
the water, and asked the porter, who
uns nn the roof, to take my hand and
give me a lift. He answered that he (
had to look out for himself, and did <
not aid me. That was the last I (
heard him say. A few seconds later ]
he was swept into the river and car- ,
rled away." The river was terribly ,
swollen as a result of cloudbursts
further up-stream.

TORKVILLE, S. C.i
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1906. J
Now they have Senator Bailey of (
Texas, in an embarrassing situation.
One Gruet is suing Henry Clay Pierce, <
president of the Waters-Pierce Oil !
company, for back pay due for alleged j
service to that concern. During the I
trial of the case last week. Pierce tes- 1
titled that Senator Bailey had rendered ,
valuable services to the company in
1900, in securing for it a license to do
business in the state of Texas after
its license had been forfeited. He said
that at that time he had placed $13,000,000
worth of securities in the hands
of Mr. Bailey to handle as that gentleman
saw proper. Immediately after
the publication of this testimony there
appeared an alleged interview with
Roger C. Sullivan, national committeeman
from Illinois, in which Mr. Sullivan
was quoted as saying that if Mr.
Bryan would be consistent in his policy
of demanding the scalps of Democratic
leaders who have trust connections
he must also get after Mr. Bailey,
the leader of the Democratic party in
Washington. Mr. Bailey got after Mr.
Sullivan in a red hot interview, and
Mr. Sullivan came back with the explanation
that he had not said a
word; that the published Interview
with him had been faked out of the
whole cloth. However, there seems to
be no doubt of the fact that Mr. Bailey
is pretty badly tangled with the Standard
Oil company, and he has been doing
things that do not seem to be entirely
in keeping with his responsibility
to the people of Texas.
That Cuba will soon become a part
jr the united states euner as a suiic j
or on a basis similar to that now occupied
by Porto Rico and the Philippines
is practically certain. There has ?
never been much reason to doubt this j
proposition. Of course, it would have ?
looked bad for this country to have J
announced originally the acquisition of .
Cuba as the purpose of its war with e
Spain. That was really not the pur- 8
pose of that war. It was clear then, j
however, that there could be no other f
result. Developments in Cuba have v
only been what reasonably well in- J
formed people have been looking for. j
When Americans began to Invest large T
sums of money in Cuba everybody 1
should have known that that money ?
was going to be protected. Every- c
body knew that those Americans were
not going to be satisfied with any such J
government as the Cubans were capable
of giving them. It will be remem- \
bered that from the close of the Spanish
war it was understood that the Isle :
of Pines off the southern coast of Cuba
was to become American territory, c
General Wood so regarded the island. J
Americans invested there and conducted
themselves in such a manner as li
to arouse the natives to considerable
antagonism. Cuba asserted her au- '
thority. The Washington government <3
seemingly repudiated the claims of the t
Americans; but that was to avoid do- ''
ing peacemeal what could Just as eas- a
ily be done all at once. While Taft is C
In Cuba smoothing things over with 1
Palma, the war department is getting H
its forces in shape to handle the situa- v
tion. It will not be a great while un- s
til things are brought to a focus, and
the United States will take entire
charge. If the tariff problems cannot e
be arranged in a satisfactory manner {
lawfully it will be arranged arbltra- v
rily as was done In the case of Porto 1
Rico. But already Cuba Is as practically
the same as American territory. *
And really that Is the best way to j
handle the situation. Those Cubans t
are not fit to govern themselves, much r
less anybody else. |
Unfortunate FV>r Manning.?It
would have been far better for Richard
I. Manning had he never entered
the second primary. Certain defeat
stared him In the face, and lb tljelr
desperation his supporters did a lo| of
dirty political work. Mr. Manning has
heretofore been looked on as an e*oeptlonally
clean, high-toned man. and
while we do not blame him personally
for all that was done, he cannot escape
responsibility for some of it. He
should have repudiated the workers
who were guilty of questionable acts
in his behalf. Then, too, Mr. Manning
in the various statements to which his '
name was attached, was not fair to
Ansel, and his insinuation as to the
negro vote cannot be excused. One of r
the hardest political tights we were *
ever engaged in was in Sumter some t
years ago, when we personally sup- I
ported Mr. Manning in his race for the t
state senate against the late Altamont t
Moses. We do not regret our action t
then; we have no regrets for our (
course in this campaign, but we would r
have thought a great deal more of Mr. >
Manning had his campaign in the sec- i
ond primary been conducted different- t

Rock Hill* Sept. 20.?A young man
>y the name of William Rhems was
round lying at the corner of Saluda
md Johnston streets Wednesday afternoon
late. He was suffering very
much and entirely unable to walk. It
tvas found that he had been sick all
lay and had been trying to reach a
lome in the country where he would
je cared for. He failed in this, however.
but found some one who brought
film back to town and left him where
ie was found, thinking he could make
lis own way. A conveyance was procured
and he was taken to the home
it his married sister, who lives in the
western portion of town near the Arcade
cotton mill. He was not Intoxicated.
J. Edgar Poag, the well known real
estate broker who "cuts the earth to
suit your taste" lost a fine mule one
lay recently. Information on the sub|ect
is hard to obtain from Mr. Poag
ilmself, but the facts so far as can be
earned are to the effect that Mr. Poag
md a friend were out for a spin in an
luto, they met a lone lady driving a
small black mule who showed signs of
exceeding nervousness and refused
either to pass or stand pat. The gal

lid the mule, knocking his would-be
captor aside and to the ground, piling
>n him butter, eggs and all sorts of
country produce and hiking for town.
Mr. Poag and his friend gathered up

Washington special of September 17,
to Charleston Post: Many people In
South Carolina will be glad to learn
that Assistant Paymaster B. M. Dobson,
the York county boy who accompanied
the big dry dock to Manila, is
now en route to the United States, and
that he should arrive here In two
weeks' time. He is still attached to
the U. S. Glacier, the ship that towed
the Dewey thousands of miles to her
destination. The Glacier is now coming
to the United States from the
Asiatic station, and is at present making
her way through the Mediterranean
after her memorable trip with the
Dewey. She is bringing home a cargo
if teak, which will be delivered at the
New York navy yard, after which she
will go to Boston for a thorough overhauling.
When the Glacier left Sparrows'
Point In Chesapeake Bay, lajit
winter for her trip of thousands of
miles through the Suez canal for Muni
la and Olongapo, there were few persons
around the navy department who
thought that the voyage would end
with anything but destruction for the
Dewey and probably for the Glacier.
The lives of those on board her were
many times despaired of, but she Anally
reached her port all right after a
rough and dangerous trip. After Paymaster
Dobson reaches the United
States he will be granted a short leave
if absence and he will no doubt be
able to tell the people at home wonderful
stories of the Far East.

? ? There have been added about sixty
feet of new cement sidewalk this
/ear anyway.
? There is plenty of cotton in evidence
going to and from the gin
even if there is little selling.
? There is talk of another livery
stable to be opened in the lower end
of town; but as yet nothing definite
has been decided upon.
? The business of the Southern is as
heavy as it has ever been and Agent
Long is holding down the Job with
ease, giving satisfaction to everybody.
? PYesh paint would help the appearance
of things in Yorkvllle wonderfully.
If everybody would Just paint
their houses, the town would be gs
juuu clo lie rv ,
? Mayor Hart has announced when
a defendant charged with selling whisky
puts up the defense that he was
only acting as messenger, he must
name the party from whom the purchase
was made or take the consequences
himself.
? The handsome concrete residenoe
Just put in course of ereotion by Mr.
O. E. Wilklns is attracting quite a lot
of local Interest. The concrete block
Is a .new thing In building construction
in this community; but It is no
experiment. It Is easily as good as
dressed granite.
? The commissioners of public
works have secured a change in the
town's electric contract with the Ca
tawDa power company. ay me
change the town buys Its power on
a flat rate at so much per horse
power, the same as the cotton mills.
? Yorkville is literally swarming
with cotton buyers this year. Among
them are Messrs. Latta Bros., W. R.
Carroll, Y. B. & M. Co., B. N. Moore.
H. T. Williams J. P. White, R. B.
Russell, J. B. Pegram and perhaps
others. Mr. W. S. Neil is buying
for the Y. B. & M. Co. With such
a swarm of buyers a good market
Is assured.
? All the local dry goods people
are making extensive preparations
for the fall trade, and the outlook
is that Yorkville, already the best
dry goods market in the upper part
of the state, will be still better this
fall than heretofore. It used to be
a common thing to hear people say
that they could not get as good goods
here as in some of the surrounding
markets; but now it is pretty generally
conceded that Yorkville compares
favorably with any of her competitors,
including Charlotte.
? The regular fall examination of applicants
for certificates to teach in the
public schools is in progress in the
court house this morning under the
conduct of Superintendent L. W. Jenkins
and Mr. T. E. McMackin. There
are fifteen white and forty-eight colored
candidates In attendance. Superintendent
Jenkins says that the teachers
generally are recording their certificates
in accordance with the duly
published notice. The small number
if white applicants is accounted for by
the fact that most of the Certificates
now outstanding are good untif nfext

Death of John Ramsey.
Mr. John Ramsey, a well-known and
highly esteemed citizen of western
York was found dead In his bed In the
Hickory Grove neighborhood last Tuesday
night. He was in his usual health
when he retired, and had expired some
time before his wife was aware of the
fact. There was no one else in the
house. Mr. Ramsey spent his life in
the Hickory Grove neighborhood except
four years spent in the war. He
was a member of the Fifth reigment
and his comrades say that there was
no better soldier in the army. He was
color bearer of the regiment having
been selected on account of his intrepid
courage, and the members of the
regiment always felt that if the colors
were lost while in charge of John
Ramsey it would not be until after he
had been killed. Since the war he
has been making a living as a farmer
. He was a consistent member of
Mt. Vernon church and in every particular
a first-class citizen. He leaves a
widow and one son.
Fine Patch of Corn.
Mr. Haskell O. Stanton of Bethel,
was In Yorkvllle last Wednesday on
business and In the course of a conversation
with several gentlemen In
the clerk's office, referred incidentally
to a splendid patch of corn that has
been raised by Dr. Thomas W. Campbell.
long known as the best farmer In
Bethel township. "I have not seen this
natch," said Mr. Stanton; "but my understanding
is that there are four and
a quarter acres of It and the doctor
estimates that the yield will be at the
rate of one hundred bushels to the
acre. The corn is of a prolific variety,
the name of which I forget, and
there are lots of stalks that have as
many as four or five ears each. The
doctor is estimating 150 ears to the
bushel; and from what I understand he
will probably get rather more than
a hundred bushels to the acre." Mr.
Stanton went on to say that Rev. W.
B. Arrowood' has a fine patch of corn
raised in accordance with the Williamson
stunting method.- He spoke
very highly of Mr. Arrowood as a
farmer.
? Greenville special of September 19.
to Charlotte Observer: In the court of
general sessions at Anderson today
the grand Jury returned a true bill for
murder against R B. Hayes, the
"Faith Cure" evangelist who recently
allowed his child to suffer and die
without attempting to give it medical
relief. On account of his queer religious
belter and preaching Hayes refused
to allow a physician to see the child
or to give it medicine to relieve suffering.
The case has attracted widespread
attention. The date of his
trial has not been fixed. AT
