? New York dispatch: Bishop Bur
gess of Long Islan^, put an end Mon
day to the plan to have the marriag
of W. E. Corey and Mabelle Gllma
take place at the Episcopal cathedra
at Garden City. "The wedding c
such a couple." he said, "would neve
occur In the cathedral at Garden Cltj
and . no clergyman In the Eplscopa
diocese would perform such a cere
mony, where either of the parties ha
been divorced. I doubt very mucl
whether any self-re9pectlng mlniste
could be found on Long Island t
marry such a couple."

Instigation of S. H. Smith, specia
agent and examiner for the Interstate
commerce commission, true bills wer
found against the Laurinburg Ol
company, of Laurinburg, N. C., an*
the Lumberton Cotton Oil and Gin
ning company, of Lumberton, N. C,
and the officers and directors of thos*
corporations for alleged violation o
section 10 of the interstate com
merce act. These Indictments are th*
first under this section of the statute
the specific charge being obtaining
transportation at a less rate than tha
in force by means of false returns o:
weights. The indictment against eacl
corporation contains eight counts ant
carries a penalty of $5,000 for eacl
count, the whole amounting to $80,000.
The case will be heard at th*
October term.
? "This disturbance between the negroes
and the soldiers in Cuba reveals
the fact that we have a race problenr
there as well as you have here." sale
Senor Gonzaga Martinez of Havana
to a Washington correspondent a few
days ago. Senor Martinez Is a wine
merchant. "The greater portion ol
the population of the island Is composed
of negroes," he continued.. "President
Palma got himself Into dlsfavoi
with them by practically disfranchising
them, not through any law, but
manipulation of the elections. It Is
likely that they will be permitted tc
vote In the coming election, which will
be held under the direction of the
United States government. What the
result will be under these circumstances
Is now agitating the business
men of Havana. For one, I do nol
think they are dangerous, as they are
not strong enough to overcome the Intelligent
Spanish and American
classes."
? Highwaymen held up a train or
the Northern Pacific railroad near
Butte, Mont., last Monday, shot the
engineer dead.and wounded the brakeman.
The robbers signaled the train
to stop from within. As soon as it
stopped they began a fusilade ol
shots. Realizing the situation, the
engineer then opened wide the
throttle. The robbers shot him
through the body, and broke the fireman's
arm. The conductor and passengers
began to alight and the robbers
fled. A negro, who claimed tc
have been stealing' a nae, says ?e ?a.n
the would-be robbers and could recognize
them. A suit case full of dynamite
was found on the platform of the
express car. The robbers were aftei
a large sum of money that they knew
to be en route by express and the dynamite
was for the purpose of bursting
open the safe. They got nothing
At last accounts the officers of the
law were still In pursuit of the outlaws.
? The accident bulletin issued or
May 1, by the interstate commerce
commission for the three months ending
December 31, shows that during
that quarter casualties to railroad
passengers and to railroad employees
while on duty numbered 20,944, an Increase
of 1,094 over those reported
during the preceding three months.
The number of passengers and employees
killed In train accidents was
474, an increase of 207 over the previous
quarter. The number of passengers
killed in train accidents in
this quarter, 180, Is the largest on record,
except that for the quarter ending
September 30. 1904. Three accidents?two
collisions and one derailment,
caused 143 deaths. The number
of employees killed In coupling cars
and engines was 84, as against 81 the
preceding quarter. The total number
of collisions and derailments was 3,
965 (2,226. collisions and 1,739 derailments),
of which 391 collisions and 190
derailments affected passenger trains,
The damage to cars, engines and roadway
amounted to $3,099,228. The most
disastrous accident during tbe quarter
was a collision between a passenger
train and a train of empty coaches at
Terra Cotta, D. C. In this accident,
the commission says, 43 were killed
and 63 injured.
? San Francisco, May 7: The strike
of seventeen hundred motormen and
conductors of the United Railways
developed this afternoon into a riot
in which more than a score of persons
were, severely hurt, and many others
injured to a less extent. At 2.3C
o'clock the company made a fourtl
attempt at operation of the system b>
sending out seven cars manned by
thirty or forty strike breakers in inspectors
uniforms, each armed with a
revolver in full view. A start was
made from the barns at Turk and Killmore
streets where the crowd, a partj
of five thousand men and boys, gathered.
Before the cars proceeded a
block every' window was smashed un
der snowers 01 siones ana orit-ao am.
slime from garbage cans and manj
strike breakers were cut and bruised
At Turk and Buchanan streets the
leading car was the object of a renewed
and specially vicious attack anc
guards on the rear platform answerec
with bullets, one taking effect in the
arm of a strike sympathizer. This
threw the crowd into a wile mood anc
fierce fighting ensued by running fin
for twelve blocks. During the fusilade
another man was shot in the
back and may died. It is said tonigh
the company may wlthold further attempt
to operate cars until the police
offered protection.
? New York city is the master bil
contractor In the world, and the in
dividual citizen owes more as a citl
zen of New York than he does as s
citizen of the United States, accordinf
to the New Broadway Magazine. Nex
to New York the twenty-five large
cities of the United States, in th
order of their population, are as fol
lows: Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis
Boston, Baltimore, Cleveland, Buffak
San Francisco, Cincinnati, Pittsburg
New Orleans, Detroit, Milwaukee
Washington, Newark, New Jersey
Louisville, Minneapolis, Providence
Dnver and Toledo. Their populatlor
Denver and Toledo. Their populatior
according to the census of 190(
was about 9.600,000, against 3,
437,000 for Greater New York. I
is not likely that this propor
tlon has changed much. Now the to
tal bonded indebtedness of these twen
ty-ttve cities is about $417,000,000, al
most $100,000,000 less than that of th<
metropolis. This means that the pe
capita debt of the citizens of New
~ York is $145.35, against $43.45 fo
those of other large cities. Bostot
with $116 and Cincinnati with $11'
e
come the nearest to a.pproachlng New
j York's record, while Cnicago and Sar
f Francisco, owing only $12 per capitf
each, make the best showings. It maj
be noted, however, that the municlpa
J debts of most cities show steady increases,
and there seems to be no disj
position from any quarter to get oui
, of the clutches of the bondholders,

* YORKVILLE, S. C.i
; FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1907.
f If asked to account for the recent
1 murders in Columbia, we would have
* no hesitation in attributing them to
1 lax enforcement of the laws. When
' men in high places commit crime, and
* those crimes are brought to the attention
of the law, which sometimes
' happens. It Is frequently the case that
' influential friends are able to have
1 the matter quashed. It is difficult to
' Imagine a more speedy or certain
* manner of bringing all law Into the
r contempt of the presumably, more
! vicious classes.
r
The Abbeville Press and Banner and
_ the Newberry Herald and News are
of opinion that it is impossible to run
the subscription list of a county newspaper
on a cash basis, and both indi1
cate that they have lots of sub|
scriptlon accounts that have been
running for years. In our opinion
' both of these contemporaries are mis'
taken. We are unable to understand
why, if they should see proper, they
1 would not be able to demand and re1
ceive cash for such excellent papers
' as they are making. Their argument
that it is unreasonable to decline a
1 man indefinite credit for so small a
sum as the price of a subscription does
' not strike us as well founded. It is
true that there are lots of worthy men
who are unable to spare the necessary
cash at just any moment; but it oc'
curs to us that the man who, having
' given his promise, is unable to raise
" such a sum within thirty, sixty or
' ninety days, is not in very great need
' jf a newspaper. Not only this, there
1 is another very serious difficulty in
the way of the philanthropy suggested
by our esteemed contemporaries.
Such generosity cannot be practiced
except in violation of the rules of the
postoffice department. The publisher
who continues to send an unpaid subscription
after the expiration of the
| subscription period, which can in no
case be supposed to be longer than
jne year, is in danger of forfeiting his
second-class mail privileges, and that
would seem to mean more than even
quite a large number of unpaid subscriptions.
Our Confederate Dead.
1 At very considerable labor on our
part and with the painstaking help of
, Confederate veterans and others in
i different localities, we are enabled to
publish today a pretty full list of the
Confederate dead buried in the cemeteries
of York county.
This list is published not only as a
contribution to the memorial exercises
! being observed throughout the south
today; but also as a matter of present
Interest to relatives, friends and acj
quaintances concerned, and more especially
as against that time in the future
when it will probably be a matter
of every great Importance to know
where our soldiers were buried and
, there will be nobody living to give the
, information.
It Is proper to say that all of these
, lists have been prepared by careful,
painstaking people; but we would not
try to create the impression that any
of them are absolutely complete. In
connection with our experience of May,
1899, when the first attempt along
this line was made, we remember that
there were numerous corrections, and
, in the list today are many names that
were omitted from the list prepared
then. It Is quite probable that there
I are still others to be added.
Looking to the still further perfection
of the list we have prepared a
j special book In which it is our purpose
to record all corrections and additions
that may be called to our attention as
the result of this publication, and persons
Interested, who may discover In
( the list Inaccuracies, of any kind, especially
omissions, are requested to
report them as soon as practicable In
r order that they may be entered at
once.
It may be several years before this
1 list is again produced in full; but that
it will eventually become an important
record no one need doubt. Make
it complete.

of attributing to that herd of indifferents

? Walhalla special of May 9, to Columbia
State: It will be recalled thai
; some weeks ago there was an unusua
and sensational service at the Walhalla
Methodist church, when its pastor,
Rev. J. C. Younge, made mosi
humble apologies for certain articles
written derogatory to certain officers
in the Methodist church. On that daj
i Rev. Coke D. Mann, who is a reslden
iicic auu ci? iiicuiuri ui me in'uac w
representatives and former pastor o
Walhalla church, arose and said tha
there were evil men In the Methodls
church and if some one did not checl
their work the church was going tc
the bad in South Carolina. Things ha(
quieted down: nothing more was
scarcely heard of the events of tha
day. But on Sunday after the pas
'r tor's sermon, Mr. Mann asked that hi
' be allowed to make a statement., Thii
he did in language most scathing am
? denunciatory. He narrated briefly th<
. various efforts he had made to prefe
' charges against a presiding elder, am
' all without success. He told of th<
r manner of his own trial, where th
t presiding elder was the presiding of
fleer, prosecutor and chief witness am
' after a trial lasting several hours
? with only the witnesses for the prose
) cution sworn, that he (Mr. Mann) wa
exonerated. He made an unmerclfu
attack upon the veracity of the presid
1 ing elder, saying that lie had as mucl
confidence in his veracity as he did li
that of Lemerick Gadsden or Chrlsto
pher Williams, two well known negr
characters of the town. Mr. Mann sal

e than half the day in fact, was devoted
3 to listening to the trial sermons of sev- .
i, en ministerial students, three being
" candidates for licensure and the other
S ? U! l? o _
I iuui preuciiius na tuut p.vw- j
. bytery might judge of the progress I
h they are making. After listening to ?
n the sermons, the presbytery, especially i
0 the ministerial part, gave Its attention
d to friendly criticisms of a nature that
s seemed to indicate that no matter how ->
? creditable may have been any of the 1
d efforts, the young men should only 1
i. think of further Improvement. W. A. .
Kennedy, R. L. Patrick and R. W. (
s Carson were licensed to preach. J
e_ A resolution passed at the previous
n meeting of presbytery called for re- j
ports from the various ministers as to 1
the encouragements and discouragements
with which they were meeting
In their respective congregations, and
these reports went to make up an Interesting
symposium. Among the discouragements
mentioned was the difficulty
of securing Sunday school
teachers, the Interest of the older people
In the Sunday schools, the Inability
to get men to attend prayer meetings,
the removal of country people to
town. This last discouragement was
complained of only by some of the pas;or8
of country churches. Other pastors,
notably, Rev. J. L. Oates, who
tad no discouragements to report, argued
that this was all right so long as
:he town churches gained what the
country churches lost. Rev. A. S.
Rogers told a most touching story of
:rial and tribulation In connection
svlth the effort to establish the church
it Rock Hill and climaxed It off with
i truly soul inspiring: recital of the
luccess with which the effort has flmlly
been crowned. Rev. J. M. Gar lson
of King's Mountain, finds particllar
encouragement In the Interest his
)fflcers are taking in the conduct of
mbllc service. All of the ministers
'elt more of encouragement than of
llscouragemeni, ana an ren graierui
'or the manner In which they beleve
God Is prospering their work.
The committee on the proposed Gllillen
home for ihe aged to whom was
ecommitted the previous report indicting
the impracticability of raising a
lupplementary fund of $4,000, made a
lew report on Tuesday recommending
hat presbytery accept the donation if
11,500 additional could be raised,
diss Gilflllen's offer, it will be renembered
is to give $1,000 to the purwe
indicated.
Rev. J. M. Garrison of King's Mounaln,
objects to the present method of
Rising funds for foreign and home
nlssimary purposes. He does not beleve
in the assessment plan, considering
it too much like taxation, and
vants presbytery to designate two
nonths of the year during which peo>le
may make voluntary contribuions
to this purpose. He wants all
:ontribution8 for missions to come in
he form of free will offerings. There
ire a good many members who beleve
that the "taxation" method is the
nost practicable, and on motion disunion
of the matter was Dostponed
mtil the fall meeting: of presbytery.
Miss Lillian Morrison of Statesvlllet
C., secretary of the young: people's
vork in the church, made a talk to
luite a number of ministers and elders
n behalf of the cause she represents,
ler talk was quite interesting:. She
ras very anxious to secure full reprelentation
of all the societies at the
omlngr Ashevllle conference.
All the standing committees, as
isual, worked hard and made reports,
rhich were carefully considered and
idopted, amended or rejected as the
resbytery saw proper.
Gastonla and Edgmoor were put in
lomlnation as the place of the next
neetlng of presbytery and Edgmoor
vas selected by a vote of 22 to 20.
There was a strong desire on the part
>f the members to go to Gastonla, es>ecially
out of deference to Rev. Dr.
r. C. Galloway, one of the most beoved
members of presbytery; but the
>lea of Rev. R. A. Lummus that the
pring meetings go to the towns and
he fall meetings to the country had
ufflclent weight to turn the scale in
avor of his country church.
Several elders who would have othrwlse
been held over for twenty-four
lours longer got themselves excused
'uesday afternoon, but there was no
*IU1. fVia of.
lercepuuie tuuuiiug uui ui i?c *?%.endance
until after the final adjournnent.

Replanting Cotton.
Reports are being received from different
parts of the county to the effect
that bad stands of cotton are quite
general, and lots of replanting has
been going on during the past week

attributed to defective seed,
though some farmers ascribe weather
conditions as a contributing cause.
There is general complaint as to
scarcity of seed for replanting.
Won't 8tand For tho Boast.
At a meeting of the York County
Medical association In Rock Hill on
Tuesday, a resolution was adopted repudiating
the claim and boast made by
Dr. Jervey of Greenville at Bennettsvllle
recently to the effect that the

I. Manning and W. F. Stevenson,
because these gentlemen had not seen
proper to endorse certain legislation
desired by the State Medical association.
Parliamentary Tangle.
A little eight-year-old son of Mr. J.
K. Henry, who was permitted to attend
the opening session of the First
presbytery at Chester last Tuesday
night, thought the proceedings more
Interesting than a show; but was very
much mystified when, after Rev. Lummus
assumed direction of the proceedings
"everybody called him Mr. Moderator."
"How did they change Mr.
Luminus's name?" the little fellow
asked of his father.

After the Loafers.
Rock Hill Herald, of Wednesday:
It is rumored that Mayor Roddey
has Instructed the officers of the city
to make a complete canvass of the
city for vagrants, both white and
black. Those who are without employment
and have no way of making
an honest livelihood had better go to
work at once or else they will be pulled.
There are plenty of Jobs to be
had in Rock Hill, therefore there is
no excuse for he who will not work.
To all such we would warn them to
either go to work or leave the city.
Rock Hill haa no need for loafers and
we feel sure that Mayor Roddey will
do his duty when such cases are
brought before him.
Who Was Her
Qaffney special to Greenville News:
According to reports, about two years
ago the ladles of the China Grove
neighborhood decided to clear off
an old disused graveyard and during
the progress of the work they uncovered
an old marble slab which disclosed
the fact that it had been erected
to the memory of Congressman
James Overstreet of York district.
South Carolina. Mr.- Overstreet was
a member of the Seventeenth congress
and had died while on the way from
the capital of the United States to his
home in York district. South Carolina.
While your correspondent is a native
of York county he never heard of this
congressman before, and the Seventeenth
congress must have held its
sessions about eighty years ago. The
ladies of China Grove section are anxious
to communicate with some of the
relatives of the dead congressman, and
should this be seen by any of the
aforesaid relations they can get full
information by writing to Mr. Thomas,
railroad agent, at China Grove,
N. C.
