Scraps and facts. ? Hereford, Texas, July 16: Prof. T. L. Bverly, an archaeologist and In- ' structor in the Canadian college, at this place, has discovered a burled city 1 in Ochiltree county, 100 miles north- ' west of here, in the extreme northern 1 part of the Panhandle. The appear- 1 ance of a number of mounds upon j what was otherwise a level plain attracted Mr. Everly's attention, and he ] began investigations. His excavations have revealed burled buildings, in which are human bones, ancient pottery, and stone utensils. The mounds ] ? MAA?AM<*tilAn In oKnrvA onrl tholr oic i cciaii5 uiai 111 oua^, utiu ( number shows that it was a city of j only several thousand Inhabitants. < The character of the ruins indicates 1 that they antedate the Aztecs or Tol- 1 tres. Mr. Everly will make further excavations. ? The intense jealousy between England and Germany Is emphasized by an official announcement just made In London, that the Island of St. Helena is to be strongly fortified and heavily garrisoned. This is the answer given by England to the announcement that the German government intends to es- j tablish a naval station on the Camer- , oon coast. Although the new German 1 station is over fifteen hundred miles from St. Helena, the fortification of ; the latter will tend to maintain British supremacy in the South Atlantic. The island came into the possession of the English In 1673, as a conquest from the Dutch. It is only about ten miles : long by six broad, is of volcanic origin, a summit of a submarine group | of mountains, has a population of t about four thousand, has no trade, and \ is known simply as the place of exile of the Emperor Napoleon. ? New York, July 15: In a contest < begun in Wall street to compel the i directors of the American Steel Found- 1 ry company to pay a dividend on the < preferred stock it has developed that 1 four officials of the company will draw t as salaries for the last fiscal year more than $800,000. Of this sum the president of the company, William V. I Kelly of Chicago, will receive $340,000. I The other men who will participate 1 are Vice-Presidents Robert P. La- ' mont, W. W. Butler and G. E. Scott. f To each of these, it is stated will be ' paid from $165,000 to $170,000. The dis closures came as a result 01 a discovery of a secret contract made two c years ago between the directors and 1 Mr. Kelley took the presidency on the c condition that he could place his own 1 men as assistants and that bonus would 1 be granted on an ascending scale, so that if the company earned $2,000,000 8 or more net he and his three associates would obtain 331-3 per cent Net earnings this year are expected to be * approximately $2,500,000. i ? Philadelphia Record: The police of c Haddington are looking for a canine * dentist, who pulls the teeth of his pa- 1 tients without their permission. As t a result of his efforts there are nearly a fifty toothless dogs running around I that vicinity and bones are becoming t a glut on the market. To keep the 1 animals alive many of them are being a fed on baby food, and they don't like it a bit. Although no decided clews have been obtained, it has been report- Q ed that the tooth-puller is the father a of a boy who was severely bitten by a f dog two weeks ago. The man, it is ( said, swore that in order to reach the " guilty animal he would pull the teeth t of every dog he met In Haddington, c For several nights the residents of v Sixty-second and Sixty-third streets t have been startled by blood-curdling s yells and weird cries. Now it is be- i lieved that these were poor dogs who r were undergoing midnight dental oper- { ations. Just how the dentist manages a to work is a mystery. The anticruelty societies have been notified, and their agents are said to be close on the trail of the revengeful man. j ? Although order has been restored l in the southern districts of France by < the presence of overwhelming bodies * of troops, predictions are freely made of more serious trouble in the near fu- t ture. The price of wine in the vine- ( yard district of the south has gone 1 down to about ten cents a gallon, the ' laborers are said to be starving, many , of the growers have been forced into ( bankruptcy, yet the wine dealers and t factors of Paris are said to be realizing * fortunes by taking this ten-cent wine, treating it with certain chemicals and J selling It at from two to five dollars ( a bottle. They are also importing 1 from the east enormous quantities of 1 raisins, which are soaUed in water , from thirty-six to forty-eight hours i and then treated as fresh grapes, the I result being a mild, straw-colored wine, which is doctored with chemicals t and sold under various high-sounding names. The suggestion Is made that ( the wine growers clear out their vine- i yards and plant other crops, but they ! are very loath to do this, for the vine \ requires several years to come into J proper bearing and the wine growers, I as a rule, know little or nothing of 1 any other form of agriculture. J ? Atlanta Journal: Following the 1 issuance by the United States war department of a formal order, the sale of coca-cola, a widely advertised and , popular "soft" drink, has been forbid- i den In all the army posts of the At- 1 iantlc division. The order was issued , at the instance of Surgeon General i Robert M. O'Reilly, who recommended t that the sale be discontinued at the J post exchanges. A copy of his recom- j mendations was not obtainable at the < department of the gulf Saturday, but ' the adjutant general there said that he understood that the surgeon gener- . al claimed that the enlisted men be- , came addicted to the habit of drinking ( coca-cola, and that certain ingredi- { ents of the beverage induced the hab- j it. The adjutant general couldn't re- ( member what these ingredients were, 1 or what specific effect they had on the ; soldiers, more than the surgeon gen- J eral's statement that they caused the < coca-cola habit. Asa G. Candler, who 1 owns coca-cola and the Candler build- ! ing, and who is the department of the , gulfs landlord, had nothing to say for publication about the order. The order has been posted at Fort McPher- ' son. in common with the other posts ' of the division. The adjutunt general , wasn't sure whether the sale had been < prohibited in the other divisions, but 1 was inclined to the belief that the or- j ders had been issued to all divisions. | ? The defense on Wednesday began I the presentation of Its testimony* in ! the trial of a score of citizens of An- J con county, N. C., changed with the < murder of J. V. Johnson, xne iriai ' began at Monroe last Monday, and the J state rested Its case on Tuesday. The court room has all along been crowded with spectators. Johnson was charged with the murder of his brother-in-law and a few days before the lynching the governor had called a special term of court for his trial. The men now on trial were Indicted under an anti- j lynching act passed by the legislature i In 1893, the first adopted by a southern state. It provides for the trial of indicted persons in an adjoining county to that in which the crime was committed, but the law omitted a provision for the punishment for the crime. At the first trial of these cases In Union county, the adjoining county to Anson, last July, the defense moved to squash the indictment because no punishment was provided and also that the crime could be punished unler the common law of manslaughter, Dut allowed the other motion. Recentv the supreme court ruled that the ict was constitutional, and Gov. Glenn called the present special term of the Union court to try the cases. Three pf the defendants tied from the state ind have not been apprehended. If jonvicted, the minimum punishment jnder the common law is twenty years' punishment. $Iu ^JorkviUf (fnquirrr. YORKVILLE, S. C.t FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1907. What the Southern Power company s doing to establish the supremacy of his section In cotton manufacturing is vorth consideration. Thet are not sending us any more >f Senator Latimer's letters. Wonder vhy? We printed every one that came. EVe could copy from some of the oth?r papers; but we are not going to do t, not unless the letters contain somehlng real interesting. If the state of Georgia enacts a prohibition law, and it looks like that s what is going to happen, we may ook for another prohibition campaign n South Carolina next summer. This date is closer to prohibition now than t has ever been. It is not difficult to foresee how the :onrtlct between state and Federal auhority in North Carolina is coming >ut. The Federal judge has the most lower, and the civil war settled the act that the difference between Federal and state authority Is principally l matter of power. W? notice a statement to the effect hat if the state prohibition bill now lending In the Georgia legislature be:omes a law. Governor Hoke Smith sill lose $60,000 a year in rents from he Piedmont hotel property of which le is a part owner. We are unable to ee it exactly that way, however. The iroperty may be calculated to yield its est returns when employed for saloon mrposes; but It will still be worth omething even under prohibition. Richard Carroll's idea of the race luestion seems to present the most atisfactory solution of "the problem" rom the standpoint of the negro. As Jarroll sees the subject, there is really no problem," and if the negroes can >e induced to follow the lines blocked >ut by this level-headed negro, they vlll save themselves much trouble and ribulation. Honesty, industry, morility and loyalty will win for any peo)le, anywhere. Just as the negro nakes progress in these qualities, his >osltiou In the scale of civic importince will go higher and higher. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? Col.

There is no man in the country who uetter understands the art of advertising than the Hon. Benjamin R. Tillman, the pitckfork senator from South Carolina. Whenever he apprehends that his popularity in the Palmetto Uate is waning, he metaphorically rushes into the senate with a "nigger" impaled on his aforesaid pitchfork, and lolding the darky over the political spit until he is roasted to the proper consistency, turns to his constituency ind exclaims: "Behold what I have done!" And yet the records do not reveal any legislation proposed by Ben Tillman, the enactment of which ivould prove deleterious to the material progress of the negro race. Without the negro Tillman's vocation would >< gone. Sambo is peculiarly his poitical chattel. The negro is his stock n trade, abuse of whom he exchanges for votes in the primary elections at his home. He is in nowise niggardly n his political trading, as he will give ts much abuse of the negro for votes ts may be required by the most exicting elector. The doughty senator. not content with simply swapping r "cusses" of the "nigger" for votes whereby he retains? his seat In the United States senate, is now engaged in the delectable vocation of swapping j his aforesaid "cusses" for dollars. He is at present filling his engagements to lecture in the northwest on the negro under a forty-thousand-dollar contract. He will end his itinerary in j time for the next seRslon of congress.

There is a lively clash of jurisdic (i?in between ttie state ami Federal courts in North Carolina on account of the new rate law that went Into effect tl recently. The law reduced passenger T rates to 2} cents a mile. The railroads n went before Judge Pritchard <?f the United Stutes court, claiming that they sl would starve to death at that rate and ti secured an injunction until the case could be heard on its merits. During the past few days, test cases have been developing. The Southern agent at 11 Asheville refused to sell a ticket at 2 J fi cents and the state had him put in a Jail. The railroad applied to Judge Pritchard for a writ of habeas corpus. a The attorney representing the state of North Carolina, changed his tactics, si and asked for a continuance. The prisoner was taken from jail and held in the custody of the state court. In u the meantlim*, another case developed b at Raleigh. Judge Pritchard forward- v ed a writ in.ended to dispossess the state couit of custody of the prisoner e and started for Raleigh to be nearer P the fighting. It looks as If there is to be a clash between state and Federal authority that will result in something conclusive, and the situation is grow- ? ing more and more interesting. b LOCAL AFFAIRS.

Referring to the sketch of Mr. and h< Irs. Jackson published in the last ai isue of The Enquirer, a gentleman, 'o ho has long been well acquainted Ith the Bethel country remarked: "I foi jmember when the politicians used to dvise new candidates canvassing that j" ountry that when they met a man i^y did not know, call him "Mr. ackson." If the party spoken to did m ot return the recognition at once, he hould be called "Mr. Adams." The S? lea was that at one time there were a many people in the county by the ame of Adams and Jackson, there as little danger of making a mistake Ith one or the other of the names. The statement in the Clover letter ublished in the last issue of The 'r Inquirer to the effect that efforts are elng made to induce Mr. M. L. Smith, ^ ecretary and treasurer of the Clover lanufacturlng company to build an ther mill, and that one individual is y' llling to subscribe $50,000 is interest- ' lg. We are prepared to believe all fiat has been said; but it Is with a tfl ieling that the story has not been jlly told. Mr. Smith is without queson one of the most capable and sueessful mill managers in South Carona. Indeed, we doubt if his superior i to be found in this state, and we h< o not know how we would go about 81 ndlng him elsewhere. We are quite onfldent also that if Mr. Smith cares ol 3 build another mill, there will be no v' rouble about getting the money, and B e will not have to go north for It Ither. The people of Clover will et ladly put up as far as they are able, ^ nd the people of the country surounding, wherever he Is known, will lake up the balance to any reason- . ble amount that may be desired. The nly thing that is necessary to make 1e proposition a go is for Mr. Smith vf 3 say the word, and there will be no )n ick about any figures that he may ^ ee proper to name as covering his tt ompensation as manager. * te THE ROAD LAW. it The road law as the same applies a( 3 the county of York was amended so A s to make the commutation tax $3, nd this further important provision M as inserted: "And the county board of commis- T [oners of York county are hereby re- re uired to employ the chaingang of said ounty in building and constructing . nd maintaining permanent roads, and lie said board shall employ a compe- v< jnt engineer to lay off all such roads G 3r permanent work. And the super- ^ isor of York county is hereby authored, whenever practicable, to have the a' oad worked by contract, by the overeer plan or by combining several road ]a istricts and employing superintend- N nts of work, and all road-hands who ave failed to pay the commutation tax 1,1 I'wmiPBil tn work under the sr irectlon and control of any person ap- ju ointed by the supervisor of said uunty of York." , a CHICKENS. t,J The price of chickens is higher In j tils vicinity than It has ever been. ^ 'here is no unit of value in this coneotlon, of course, as such fowls are till sold by the head; but the general ndency is upward. Sometimes it is possible to pick up two pound fryer for 15 cents; but j lore often it Is 20 cents, and not inrequently 25 cents. The price is still matter of the trading talent of buyer ^ nd seller. Chickens are not any scarcer this eason than they have been In the g ast. It is not improbable that they ^ re more plentiful. But the demand , , fo s greater. There are more people who ^ ant chickens, and the consumers gencc rally are better able to pay better rices. VJ High as chickens are in this local- ^ y, they are cheap as compared with ^ ther localities. A chicken that will ?p| ring 15 or 20 cents on the Yorkvllle Jo larket will bring from 30 to 40 cents i some of the larger surrounding 1 3wna, and In many of the northern CI" Itles the price of a two pound fryer Ec uns up to 50 or 60 cents. so The situation is one that should be m< ery well calculated to attract the at- pe ?ntlon of poultry raisers, and those sci ho are situated as to be able to eas- ' y become poultry raisers. There is P? chance for good money In raising Pjj hlckens now.

Ai lwards on the subject of cows and lei rghurn, Is Interesting and may be of In ire or less value to people who hap- w n on a situation similar to that de- bi rlbed: re The Idea that sorghum cane contains Ison that will kill cattle was exided years ago. It Is no more polsous than green corn, wheat, oats or rley. It can be fed to cattle safely, all stages of Its growth, provided Is cut up and mixed with other food In iff, which is a common practice on th iny cattle farms. The cow when t ngry gathers food In large mouth- ? Is, and swallows It without mastlca- " in, with the Intention of belching It fu and chewing it at her leisure. But pj fortunately for her, she cannot inlpulate sorghum this way In acrdance with her habits. It has a th ry slick leaf, and In her haste to w allow the leaves as fast as she can 80 :e them off, they hang in her throat d she dies from suffocation. If the w would masticate the leaves as she T1 :es them off, as the horse does, sorum would not hurt her and a mod- a(; ite amount of It would be good for jn r. A gorge of any kind of green di 'd by a hungry animal is dangerous re d likely to kill by rapid fermenta- 0f n. But that is not why quick death iults to cows from eating sorghum ar ne. bj 2apt. O. A. Wylle related to me an :ident that occurred at his father's Lj me soon after the late war. A con- e<3 lerate .soldier by the name of Smith N: is sojourning in the home?and by th i way, he was a good soldier, a good as in and a good Methodist preacher, d afterwards married a sister of fo pt. Wylie. One day they were sitg on the porch, when a negro came co d told them that the cows were in ; cane patch and a lot of them were M ing. Smith said to Wylle, "Let us ar quiCK.; we may oe aoie iu nave me of them." As they ran through ar 5 woods Smith cut a smooth green ar ck three feet long. My recollection that Capt. Wylie said there were to . en cows down. He had one pocket ndkerchief and Smith had two. He C< apped a handkerchief tightly around m } end of the stick, Capt. Wylie held the cow's head and Smith would 10 sh the handkerchief down her throat o her stomach. They used up the a. ee handkerchiefs, and with a piece shirt saved another. By that time C( s rest of them were dead. Capt. p. vile said If they had got there a few in nutes sooner they could have saved ery one of them. The handker- p. lef operation gave them Immediate ief. They were simply choking to Lt ith. dying by suffocation. ar Smith was an older man than Capt. pile and had had some knowledge a. d experience In the matter and knew lat to do. I think he was from a. nnessee, but I am not sure, after the ?se of forty years, what state he he lied from. He did some good preach- wl ; In a meeting at El-Bethel Metho- ar it church, and the surviving Conlerate soldiers of that community m ;nt many pleasant hours with him. 1. ! served on the board of visitors of >mson college In 1894-95. I was at >re in June 1894, and found them ta ding the milk cows on sorghum cane it was from thigh to hench high, ta ey ran it through a cutting machine, ew It Into the feed box and put on lo' ) of lt some cotton seed meal mixed I th shlpped-stuff. They told me that tic ?y fed lt in all stages of Its growth d never knew lt to hurt a cow. lot se RICHARD CARROLL. 1,C O.' There were more than two hundred >ple, some forty or fifty of them ga iltes, In the court house last night to Pr tr Richard Carroll, the well known ra fro platform orator, deliver his lec- p< e on the "Vision of the Sunny m uth," or the "Servant Labor Probpc Carroll was Introduced by Rev. H. Cauthen, who knew the speaker as Ct boy, and who took pleasure In jchlng for his honesty, sincerity and q( lllty, and the lecture that followed, co hough consuming about an hour 3 a half In Its delivery was listened ta with careful attention throughout ed all present. The speaker's message Is to both ^ ltes and blacks; but principally to co blacks. He notes some pretty seri3 derelictions in a part of the white wl :e?the more vicious element; but ap Is to the weaknesses and shortcom- 8|.< ;s of the negroes and the means to used for their correction that most ^ his lecture is devoted. co Carroll has no doubts on the quesn as to what is the best thing to the negro or as to who Is > negro's best friend. He says that gp > negro Is best understood and ap- sti elated by the white people of the ith and It Is among these same white jple that he will find his greatest to portunity for comfort and happl- ra js. The southern people will give n more sympathy more encourage- jn nt and more practical assistance, m will the people of any other part . . m me tuuuiljr, The cue of the negro Is to be ener- to :1c, Industrious and faithful. They ve long been showing a tendency to tit neglectful, lazy and slothful. Large mbers of them are inclined toward bo eness, even when they have no trouln finding profitable employment. jj? fact they are given to making ex- na >es to keep from work, merely that or >y may Indulge their propensity for t*1 sness. This will not be tolerated by i whites of this or any other coun- ha , and the negroes who seek to pur- ch > such a course are only piling up th >lr troubles. Instead of this, every wj rro man and woman should seek ga iful employment and whether the er ges be satisfactory or only 10 cents lay give the very best service that ]OI thin their power lies. He mention- sp the habit of cooks in carrying away m the homes where they worked, jble supplies of rations as contritlng to the worthlessness of the race be encouraging Idleness. He thought nl' Is the duty of every negro man and ;ry negro woman who really desires ur get along to use every available le- tri imate means to make every member trl the race earn his or her own living no some useful employment, and he in- pa ted that this is the only way by co lch It is possible to secure the genil elevation so earnestly desired by ta, > more laudably ambitious members U| the race. He thought this was the y to get better wages, and the way se the negroes to win respect is to de pect themselves. pa Phe speaker devoted quite a consld- qu .ble part of his time to the discus- to n of secret society organizations su ong the negroes. He was willing admit that there was need for a few rp^ runizations; but there are too many re them?too much of this "nurse the k and bury the dead business." He ^ ew off on the desire of the negro ex have a big funeral, and called at- co ition to the fact that the white man *,r D6 s not concerned whether he was rled at death or not. All he cared of >ut was that his family be provided f?i and this he managed by means of '?' urance. He warned the negroes that 0fl ' maintenance of so many secret or- thi lizations was only calculated to ren- J1*1 them unfit to properly attend to ir duties, and would sooner or later ga them into trouble. er let ^he lecture, summed in a nutshell, f intended to teach the negro to be sa] test, industrious, faithful and loy- th< The negro is given to understand su. rai .t it is his place to serve, and there wj no escape from his destiny?that 1 must serve out his time. on 'arroll told quite a number of interIng anecdotes and laughter provok g jokes.

New Cotton Pe*t? Mr. J. J. Gauidin, who lives three ant th nf V irlrvlllo nn the CThes ter road has called the attention of The Enquirer to an insect pest that is doing: great damage to the cotton. Noting a large number of squares under his cotton several days ago, and being of opinion that it was rather too early for the shedding that usually occurs somewhat later, proceeded to make an examination. In each shedded square he found a small hole that extended into the bud, and in most holes there were small green worms. More careful inspection of squares that still appeared healthy disclosed, in many cases, small eggs, and worms of different stages of development up to an inch in length. Mr. Gauldln is not certain whether the enemy he has discovered is the boll worm; but he is Inclined to the opinion that it is a new pest. The boll worm, according to his knowledge of that pest, works only on bolls. This worm attacks squares before the development of the blooms, and also oats the interior of the smaller bolls. He finds that much damage has been wrought in his fields and also in the fields of several of his neighbors. He has sent specimens of the
