Scraps antl partis. ? Washington, April 8: lly a vote of 8 to 7 the house committee on post-offices ami post roads today vir- , tually talded the ocean mail subsidy : bill. The bill as Introduced in the house raised second-class mail vessels ?carrying United States mails to South America, the Philippines, Japan, China and Australasia?to the schedule of pay for first-class vessels, an increase from $2 to $4 per mile. The bill passed by the senate similarly raised the pay for second-class and third-class vessels, an extreme increase from $1 to $4. In the house committee today after vigorous debate a motion to substitute the house bill for the senate bill failed by the vote stated. It is now understood that the committee will take no further action on either bill. ? Chicago, April 8: In the local option elections, held by 1,200 townships in 84 counties of Illinois outside of the city of Chicago today, 20 counties became absolutely anti-saloon territory and approximately 1,500, or about one half of the total number of saloons in that territory, were voted out of business. Most of the larger cities in the state, however, voted in favor of licensing saloons. The larger cities voting in favor of the saloon are: Springfield, Freeport, Aurora, Elgin, Sterling, Kankakee, Lincoln, Joliet, Murphysboro and Itoc-k Island. Those voting to abolish the saloon: Rockford, Decatur, Dixon, Hoopestown, Georgetown, Pontiae. Shelbyville, Carbondale and Champalgne. The following counties are absolute anti-saloon territory and are in addition to the.six which voted last November to abolish the dramshops: . Boone, Moultrie, Fayette, Hamilton, Edgar, Clark, Brown, Saline. Gallatin, Douglas, Macon, Cumberland. Piatt, Shelby, coies, wnue, tvnjuc and Richland. ? Plans are being elaborated in detail says a Washington dispatch, for the mobilization of a joint military and naval force in Venezuelan waters, 1 as soon as possible after President 1 Roosevelt obtains congressional sanction to resort to force against Castro. It may not be deemed necessary by the administration to make this martial demonstration but the war department and 'he navy department are both mapping out a military I movement. It was learned today that the whole military situation is now under consideration by the general staff of the army and the general board of the navy, by direction of the president, upon Secretary Roots's rec ommendation for the prepaiedness 1 to back up eventualities, with a show of arms. The directions given in the present instance, are, however, the most explicit made since the army and navy were ordered to appear for participation in the international relief column against Pekin during the Boxer troubles, and are being guarded closely and transmitted verbally from bureau to bureau. ? Negotiations between America and Russia concerning the administration of affairs at Harbin are being closely watched by Japan, says a Tokio dispatch. The alarmist newspapers suggest Japanese administration of South Manchuria, as the real object of the American action. The sensationalists connect the coming of the American fleet with possible future representations concerning Manchuria. A Washington special says the government has decided to oppose the action of Russia and Japan in Manchuria. A dispatch from Harbin quotes Minister Fisher as saying that the American government's initiative demands the abandonment of Japan's present status in Manchuria. These telegrams have aroused much comment. The Japanese foreign officers who ever refuse to accept the sensationalist view said to the Associated Press that it is not prepared to be lieve that the government is opposed to Japan's present attitude in South Manchuria. It is believed here that the report quoting the Washington officials is not founded on fact and is circulated for the purpose of creating a fresh cause of ill-feeling. ? New York, April 7: The New York Methodist conference yesterday adopted a resolution asking the general conference, which meets in Baltimore in May, to strike out of the Book of Discipline the prohibition of dancing, theatre-going and other forms of amusement. The resolution was passed without debate, and with only seven negative votes. If the general conference approves the step, it was explaiued, it will not mean that Methodism alters its historic position in respect to these amusements, but simply makes them a matter .of conscience. A protest against the elimination of the name of Jesus Christ from the exercises in public schools in New York was adopted unanimously. The resolution recited that "a song book introduced in the schools contains hymns in which the name of Jesus Christ, and any reference to Him have been expunged and the sense intended by the authors has been violated." This was declared to be a dishonor, and the board of Education was called upon to reverse its policy. Discussing the resolution Doctor Bond said that one of the boys in his church wrote in a school essay the phrase "the I-ord we should pattern after," whereupon his teacher and the principal of the school, to whom the boy appealed, declared that the phrase must be stricken out. ? After extended hearings and exhaustive arguments by the members of the senate committee on the judiciary. that committee has agreed upon a bill dealing with the shipment of liquors from one state or territory to another state or territory. The measure will be reported by Senator Knox, chairman of the sub-committee, which conducted the hearings. It provides that there shall be no collect on delivery packages of liquor shipped in interstate commerce; that the name of the consignor and consignee shall be stated plainly, and that no ? ? - I--.ii i ,..i fictitious nunifs miuii up u.^m. i uvt v< were numerous bills before the subcommittee dealing with every phase of the question and particularly they sought to give to a state the right to control liquor shipments the moment they entered the border of a state. All of the bills before the sub-committee were declared unconstitutional by a vote of 3 to 3. Later the full committee declared them unconstitutional by a vote of 7 to f?. The bill agreed upon eliminates all of the features that are believed to endanger a successful constitutional accomplishment of the object sought. The report on this bill will be unanimous. At the same time the minority of the committee still believes that certain other features intended to broaden the scope of the measure should be enacted and it was agreed that the votes of all of the members of the committee should be incorporated in the report. ? The police department of Philadelphia. as well as the population of that city, is stirred up as never before by the discovery of a gang of burglars, operating on a large scale in the city of Brotherly Love, who wore uniforms of the city police force and drew pay from the city as policemen. The disclosure come last Saturday when the first clue was given by a woman who was jealous of a fellow named Frost, who was an accomplice of the burglar-police. From hints dropped by the woman, investigation brought out the facts which showed that four officers connected with the fourth precinct station were engaged in wholesale burglaries. Their mode of operation was like this: By means of a telephone in the plumber's shop they were able to keep tab on the street sergeant, which enabled them to always be on post when he came around. As soon as the sergeant had gone on his rounds the burglars would phone Frost where to go with his push cart. Frost would appear on the appointed spot accompanied by a boy. kept for the purpose of assisting in the robberies. The boy would be hoisted up to a lire escape or through a transom and would then unlock the door of the store or factory to be robbed and then tile thieves could gather their loot at their leisure, carl it to Frost's place and divide the swag. The four officers and their accomplices were arrested Saturday and a search of their homes disclosed thousands of dollars' worth of plunder. The accused men have implicated other policemen and us a result the whole police force is under suspicion. One of the prisoners states that if all the police who get things by taking them by force or otherwise were arrested, half of the city's police would be put in jail. It is claimed that the situation disclosed is the natural result of a political police system. $hf \(orlmUc gnquirrr. J Entered at the Postoffice in Yorkvllle as Mail Matter of the Second Class. YORKVILLE, S. C.: .? FRIDAY, APRIL 10. I90S. And does nobody want to go to the United States senate? Don't neglect that corn crop. This is the year for everybody to d<? ihelr best. Ik Cieinson had only met previous crises properly, especially the one of last year, she would not have had her present trouble. TilK corn growing contest is one that every fanner can enter with a certainly of being the winner. Even those who miss a prize in the shape of dollars. will be sure to come out ahead in valuable experience and corn. People who have gone through the plantation of Mr. C. C. Hughes, will generally admit that he is the champion road builder of York county. The public roads through his place have been put in excellent shape and largely at his own expense, and not the least striking feature of the object lesson thus presented is the large amount of work that has been accomplished at a minimum cost. People interested in the road question may profit by a visit to Mr. Hughes. Tiik Clemson cadets who were dismissed on account of the April day escapade have shown an admirable spirit up to this time, and we venture to say that if they keep their temper to the end they will eventually secure a material mitigation of their punishment. The action of the discipline committee meets with our hearty approval. We cannot see how it could have done anything else, but we shall not qssume to suggest that under the circumstances, the requirements of the situation may not be satisfied with punishment less drastic. Up to this time, however, the discipline committee has made no mistake. In a signed statement to the farmers of the south, Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton association urges a reduction in cotton acreage of 33 per cent. Unless this is done, he said, prices will be low next fall. Jordan also urges growers to hold to what remnants of cotton they have. His statement says in part: "With a shortage in the world's supply of cotton amounting to 4,500,000 bales, due to the bad seasons last year, the price of spot cotton continues to go steadily down. American mills have been for some time curtailing the manufacture of cotton goods, due to trade depression aim me imuiiiihhi ui iu> eign trade is none too bright at the present time. If the same acreage Is planted in cotton that year that was planted in 1H07 and followed by good seasons in America, India and Egypt, the growers will -find but little or no profit in the harvest next fall." Reduce the Acreage. Wise farmers throughout this county are going to heed the warning that is being sounded from various sources for the reduction of the cotton acreage. It is true that the world's supply is short this year?short something like 4,000,000 bales, 2,000,000 bales in America and two million bales in Egypt, India and other foreign cotton producing coutries. Hut do not lose sight of the fact that trade conditions are bad in America and that the mills generally are curtailing to the demand. The farmers have done splendidly so far in holding and they must continue to hold: but they must remember that they can only hold to a certain point. The situation is nicely illustrated in a statement that a prominent banker recently made to this writer to the effect that he was advancing money for another crop to a farmer who had not yet sold his last crop. We would not have it thought that there is anything the mutter with me 11h11vi<iu$iI iarmei or me uuuk. 11 is a matter of business with both anil both are doing the right tiling under the circumstances: but it is not difficult for either to foi-see the end of such a procedure. With consumption of finished products very much reduced and curtailment going on to conform to consumption. it will not do for the farmer to keep on producing the raw material too freely, or he will surely come to grief. The farmer who has cotton will do well to hold it: but he will also do well to go slow about producing more. He should at least guard against overloading himself. < >f course, we would not be understood as advising anybody to take a year off; but we do advise a considerable reduction in cotton and the devotion of surplus effort to the production of other crops. If the world gets the complete upper hand of the southern cotton producer again, nothing short of another accident will shake it loose. ? Columbia. April t!: Governor Ansel has appointed the board of commissioners for the Infirmary for ('onfederate veterans as follows; Maj. K. B. Cantey, of Camden: Col. J. \V. Reed, of Chester; Col. D. Card well, of Columbia: Col. J. Q. Marshall, of Columbia. Gen. Wilie Jones, of Columbia. The first three are Confederate veterans, as required by the act, and the latter two are sons of Confederate soldiers. The infirmary is to be es tablished by the act of 1908. on land now belonging to the state and connected with the state hospital for the insane. An appropriation of $12,000 is made for the infirmary, and two ftn indigent veterans are to be admitted t from each county on the recommen- i dation of the county pension board. \*j< 'I'iie commissioners are to receive no j pay. ^ Jo SUSPENSIONS FROM CLEMSON.

I'he developments in the contract rket during yesterday, are sumi i /.< (I by an Associated Press disIch of last night as follows: tfter making new records for the ison this afternoon the cotton rket had <iuite a sharp rally during afternoon and closed very steady a net decline of only 2 to 6 points, les estimated at 300,000 bales. flu* market opened steady at a deie of ft to S points in response to lower cables, and ruled very weak and unsettled during the forenoon under liquidation, stop loss selling, and bear pressure which was promoted by reports of good weather, claims of In creased acreage, talk of distress cotton in Mississippi, a reported London failure, and rumors of banking difficulties in tlie southwest. Before the decline was checked May sold at 9.20 and July at !i.24, or about IS points net lower. Iiul at this level there "was a belter demand from shorts and during the middle of the afternoon there was some aggressive Wall street buying which was attributed to a large speculative interest that was prominent in tlie market during the autumn and early winter. The close was within a point or so of the best and 12 or 13 points up from the lowest. Private advices from the south as to spot conditions were somewhat conflicting, some wires reporting a tendency on the part of holders to accept concession, while others claimed that spots were not f dlgwing futures. Southern markets officially reported early were unchanged to l-16c lower. Houses with southern connection were sellers during the morning. Receipts at the ports today 13,113 against 14.267 last week and 17,072 last year. For the week 100,000 bales against 103.112 last week and 102,644 last year.

These general changes of schedule an- to go into effect on the Southern and Carolina and North-Western railroads next Sunday. We have information as to the nature of the changes on the Carolina and North-Western, and the Charlotte-Columbia division of the Southern, but nothing very definite as to the Marion and Kingvlllo division. On the Charlotte-Columbia division, trains Nos. 25, 26, 22 and 24 are to be discoid in tied. Train No. 29. going south, will pass Rook Hill at 4 a. m? and Chester at 4.45 a. m. Train No. 25, a new train, will leave Charlotte at ti. 2n a. in.; liock Hill at 7.25; Chester 8.12, and arrive at Columbia at 10.45 a. m. This train connects at Chester with the C. & N.-W's No. 10 for Yorkville. Train No. 27, leaves Charlotte at 4.45 p. in.; Rock Hill, 5.36; Chester, 6.20, and arrives at Columbia at 8.45 p. m. This train connects at Chester with the C. & N.-W. train No. 9 for Columbia. Train No. 36, a new train, leaves Columbia at 5.50 a. in.; Chester at 8.05 . m.; Rock Hill at 8.47, and arrives at Charlotte at 9.30. This train makes close connection at Chester with the C. & N.-W.'s No. 10. for Yorkville.

The changes on the Charlotte-Columbia division of the Southern make it pretty hard on the people of Yorkville in the matter of connections both north and south, and there is talk of an appeal to the railroad people to change the schedules of Nos. 16 and 17 so as to make Yorkville, instead of Rock Hill, their terminal point. THE CORN PRIZES. As was no doubt generally understood from what was published in the last issue of The Enquirer, the Farmers' Union was not prepared to settle on the spot all the details in connection with its proposed corn raising contest, and necessarily the matter was largely delegated to a committee. During the consideration of the question as to how the money was to be raised, it was proposed that the competitors themselves be taxed to the amount of one hundred dollars to be raised on an equitaDie pro rata oasis. This idea seemed fair and reasonable; but the committee is not inclined to resort to it if sufficient funds to make the proposition attractive can be raised otherwise, and of this there is little reason for apprehension. The purpose of the Farmers' Union is to encourage corn raising to the greatest possible extent. It is anxious to secure the largest acreage that the county has ever planted, and it especially desires the most thorough and intelligent fertilization and preparation. The objects sought are two-fold. In the lirst place, it is hoped to emphasize the importance of intensive corn culture from the standpoint of profit and in the second place it is desired to direct as much acreage as possible from cotton to corn. Since the original announcement of the corn prize idea, the committee has received practical earnest of the fact that the general public is willing to give its most hearty co-operation, and there is reason to believe that it will be a comparatively easy matter to secure a substantial prize fund by means of voluntary contributions. As stated before, the competition is open to any kind of land whether upland or bottom, and crops already planted and to crops to be planted hereafter; and the regulations stipulated by the committee for the government of the contest will not. include any provision of a discriminating character, unusual to such contests. It will bo required, of course, that each competitor must have at least two acres to the plow on the intensive system, and in the case of the man who raises the most bushels on a single acre the other acres required by the rules of the contest must come up to a reasonable per cent, hereafter to be fixed, of the best acre.

The county board of commissioners held its regular monthly meeting in its office last Wednesday, and spent the greater part of the day in the transaction of routine business. The only item out of the ordinary was in the placing of a contract for publishing the quarterly reports of the supervisor, for which service the law provides that the commissioners must not pay more than $00 per annum. All of the papers of the county were invited to bid: but only two. The Yorkville Enquirer and the Rock Hill 'Herald complied. The Enquirer offered to do the work for SCO and accompanied the offer with a statement that it had 2,200 subscribers. "The Herald offered to do the work for $20 and accompanied the offer with a statement that it has 1.100 subseripers. The board accepted the offer of The Enquirer. MEETS WITH APPROVAL. Public Spirited Institutions and Individuals Help Corn Contest. There is every reason to believe that the competitive corn raising contest instituted by the Farmers' Union will meet with the hearty co-operation of the public. Notwithstanding the lateness of the season and the fact that the idea is yet only u few days old, substantial encouragement has already been received from sources that count, evidenced by the following letters: National Union Bank.

Dear Sir: We notice in The Enquirer of Tuesday the action of the Farmers' Union in regard to offering premiums for the best acres of corn raised in York county on the intensive plan. We think this is a most capital idea and bog leave to ask you to enter the name of the "First National Hank" for a subscription of $5 to go into the fund. Yours very truly, O. E. Wilkins, President. Mr. J. F. Ashe, President of the Union. McConnellsvllle, April 9. Editor Yorkviile Enquirer. I am sorry that I was so situated on Monday that 1 could not meet with the Union, on account of which I did not learn of the corn prize matter until I got my Enquirer. I heartily approve of I he plan, and will ask you to put me down for a subscription of $fi to tlie fund. Although it is getting late and 1 have already planted most of my corn, I may make some fellow hustle for the first prize. It will help things wonderfully if we can raise an aggregate of $500 for the prize fund, and with the co-operation of the general public, for which I look with confidence, I believe the amount can easily be raised. I am very truly, J. Frank Ashe. Bank of Clover. Clover. S. C.. April 9, 190R. Yorkviile Enquirer, Yorkviile, S. C.

Crist, Yorkville, S. C. Dear Sir: I am very much pleased to note the movement that has been started by the Farmers' Union to stimulate corn production in York county. It would have been better, of course, if there had been an earlier start. For instance I have already planted much of my corn, and I confess that my preparation has not been what it would have been, if I had had a contest in view. However, there is still a lot of good to be gotten out of this undertaking. It will cause many to make better preparation, and many will be more thorough in cultivation than otherwise. Please be assured of my hearty sympathy with the movement and put me down for $5 to help swell the prize fund. Very truly, W. a Wilkerson. The Thomson Company. Yorkville, S. C., April 10, 1908.

Makes Manly Statement of Affairs. The newspaper reports of the recent trouble at Clemson college heing more or less incorrect and not altogether fair and Impartial, we, the undersigned ex-members of the Junior class, desire to give to the people of the state what we conscientiously believe to be a true and impartial statement of the facts. We do not believe that any one knowingly made an incorrect statement; but we do know that some of the newspaper reports were written by men who knew but little about the facts which they attempted to state. Consequently, some blunders and mistakes were made, and we consider it our duty to the people of the state to correct, as far as possible, these mistakes. Taking up these statements in order, we desire to make the following corrections: 1st. The newspaper articles referred to above stated that several orders and warnings were published at retreat on the evening of March 31st. As a matter of fact, only one order was published, and that called attention to paragraph 126 of "The Regulations for the Government of Cadets." The order in question was as follows: "Headquarters Corps of Cadets, Clemson Agricultural College. Clemson College. March 31, 1908. General Orders No 42. Par. 1. The attention of the corps of cadets is specially directed to par- i agraph 126 of "The Regulations for the Government of Cadets, which : reads as follows: i 'Any cadet who leaves barracks without authority at any time be- i tween retreat and reveille, shall be dismissed.'" By order of Capt. Minus. i As far as we have been able to find < out, no one left barracks without au- < thority during that time. The news- I paper reports made it seem that this j order was intended for the next day, I when the order itself plainly shows i [ that it was not. . i 2nd. A statement was made that telegrams were sent to Prof. R. H. 1 Fike informing him that his services < were no longer needed. R. H. Fike ? is a cadet aqd not a professor: and ] the telegram was sent in a spirit of ; fun. merely to let Fike know that the ] participants were carrying on their < April Fool celebration! Cadet Fike j was in no way connected with the af- i fair. i 3rd. The statement that the rest i of the student's were very indignant i over the action of their comrades is a i n? nrflcticnllv the whole stu dent body treated the matter as a 1 joke. t 4th. Cadet T. S. Allen was not a ? leader in the celebration. In fact, j there were no leaders, everybody act- { ing for himself. Cadet Allen did. af- . ter the juniors were dismissed from l college, advise the rest of the students 1 to remain at college, but did so solely because he thought ttat by using his influence, he might help to prevent the lower class men from leaving with c the juniors. * 5th. There was also a slight mis- [ take made as to the number of stu- t dents in the junior class. There were .s only SI students in the class; 48 of <i these were dismissed and one sus- i pended. Of the rest, several were on n the athletic teams and would have I gone on the "lark." had they not been J persuaded by their classmates not to n ?o. I We do not wish to cast any reflee- t tions on any one; our purpose being to t correct some statements that might a create a wrong impression among the people of the state. In conclusion, we, the undersigned, E wish to say to the people of this and other states that we, the dismissed cadets of Clemson college do now feel the seriousness of the offense and j think that the punishment received ( was just; and that we have absolute- s ly no ill feelings toward the action of ' the discipline committee of Clemson college. We realize that the mistake ( was a serious one, hut we do not feel that any disgrace attends our dismissal.

The programme was a splendid one and the committee in charge of arrangements deserve great credit for the thoroughness with which they performed their work. Bro. G. W. Knox did well his part as master of ceremonies, and in a graceful little speech introduced Past Councilor J. E. Beamguard, who delivered a splendid acidress of welcome. He was followed by Bro. Z. P. Smith, who spoke for some little time on the general objects of the order, and also presented the flag add Bible. Bro. T. B. Butler, who by the way is a candidate for congressional honors, accepted the gifts of the order on behalf of the board of trustees. Imriiig the exercises a picked choir rendered patriotic hymns, delighting the great audience by their tine singing. A feature of the occasion was the presence of the school children In a body, and the little ones seemed to enter into the spirit of the affair with I all the interest of their elders. At the conclusion of the speechmaking, "Old Glory" was raised, while ev- i erybody united in singing our nation- 1 al hymn, "America." i Among the visitors present we had < our true and faithful State Council < Secretary Jas.

OTHER SIDE OF QUESTION. ^ot Fair That Employers Should Shoulder All Errors of Employes. A new partner, in the person of the railroad employe, has literally pushed hits way into the manager's office. So Important a factor has he now become in the councils of a railroad corporation that hardly a move can t>e made in the operating department without first consulting his rights and wishes. Not only is the power and influence if the railroad employe at the present jay an Important factor In railroad management, but. in the opinion of competent Judges, the time is not far iistant when manager and employe will meet on equal terms and together legislate for the Interests of all concerned. Now, granting the ever Increasing power of the employe In framing the rules and influencing the management, what is there to be said ibout the division of responsibility? At the present day, when an acellent happens on a railroad and lives if passengers are sacrificed by reason if the carelessness or neglect of employes, practically the whole moral ind financial responsibility is ImmeHately assumed by the management. Heartfelt regret Is at once expressed by the highest-authorities, the Injured are visited by sympathetic officials, and every conceivable kind of bill or sxpense is at once acknowledged and paid. On the other hand, we, the employes, singly and collectively, ignore the whole business. We simply stand back and let the pr.ess and the authorities figure out reasons and remedies for themselves. We neither adopt resolutions of sympathy nor pay out a single dollar to benefit the families of the dead or to alleviate the sufferings of the injured. Considering the division of power, does this adjustment of responsibility appeal to any fair-minded person? It bas occurred to some of us that if we ar our organizations were assessed In hiard cash in proportion to our responsibility for some of these preventable accidents, the casualty lists an our railroads would very quickly assume microscopic proportions. An "employes' liability act" would, of course, be looked upon as an absurdty. yet if unprejudiced Judges were to analyze a few of our accidents they would quickly conclude that the Idea is sanely and soberly logical.?J.

The committee is authorzed to request the co-operation of the jeneral public in swelling the prize noney to something more worth vhile, in which event the number of arizes may be increased to three or nore, and made larger in amount, rhe Enquirer thinks that the prize :ompetition idea is the best that can ae adopted to the end in view.
