? 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.

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.

PR- IKITARUK U?E OK THE NEGRO.?
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

eard of a case where the yield was

ere ulmost as good. But unfortuately,

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.

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. The probability is that ba

WHO KNOWS THIS TREE. ^
The following Is from the Charlotte thf
bserver. We remember hearing some- Th
ilng of a big tree In the neighborhood
idlcated; but It would seem that Mr. Wn
all must be slightly mistaken In at th<
ast one particular. If the tree was an<
f feet In circumference it could
3t be much more than nine feet In
iameter, In which case the 10-foot
lie could not have been so lonesome pe(
i described.
'Talking about tall timber," said
r. T. M. Hall of Steele Creek, yes- nel
srday, "down In York county, South tui
arollna, Just over the line, there used gQ1
i be a poplar tree 100 feet In height .
id 27 feet In circumference. You n
>uld stand in the middle, for it was <
jllow, and be unable to touch wood j.
lywhere with a 10-foot pole. For a a
ng time It was used as a blacksmith
lop by Mr. T. M. Carothers. Finally V01
iout two years ago it caught fire and abl
irned down." alt
"Do you mean to tell us," chorused __
i unison 'Squire Hilton, of the United
tates, "that any such tree as that t0
ew in this section?" by
"I can prove it," averred the spokes- i
an from Steele Creek. "I have seen .
many a time and any of the old
ilks down there will tell you the the
ime." oui
It takes a heavy jolt to Jar the court ra{

HOW SORGHUM KILL8 COWS. In
The following article from the dc
lester Lantern by Captain W. H. 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.

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

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

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

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
