?mpji and J; acts.
? Democratic county conventions
held throughout Texas last Tuesday,
universally instructed for Bryan for
president. Although Senator Bailey's
majority for delegate at large In the
primaries held last Saturday is shown
by approximately complete returns
to be in the neighborhood of only 20,000,
out of a total vote of 220,000, a
very considerable majority of the
county conventions adopted resolutions
and appointed delegates favorable to
him. In manv of them thev instruct
ed for him for vice president. In a
number of other counties, notably
Dallas, instructions were adopted
condemnatory of Senator Bailey's
action and demand that the legislature
shall pass laws forbidding public
officers to serve or represent corporations.
? The Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad
is the first road in the United
States to take up seriously the recent
order of the interstate commission
that every railroad in the United
States compile, print and make public
the fare from, every station on its
line to every point in the United
States. Railroad men have declared
that the task was Impossible and the
order absurd. The officials of the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie will try.
however, to comply with the order.
A force of five clerks has been put to
work on the task. The Pittsburg and
I^ake Erie is 100 miles long. It is estimated
that five clerks will be able
to complete the task in five years.
When the work of compiling the matter
is completed it will take a fortune
to have it printed. How railroads like
the Pennsylvania with its hundreds of
miles of track will ever accomplish
the task is hard to figure.
? La Porte, Ind., and the country surrounding
is all agog over the murder
sensation of the day. A few days ago
the house of Mrs. Belle Gunness, of La
Pone was destroyed by fire, and it
was at first thought that Mrs. Gunness
and three children Ijnd been burned.
Later investigations seemed to indicate
that Mrs. Gunness probably set
the house on fire herself, left her children
to perish and ran away. In addition
to the bodies in the house other
bodies were found buried in the yard,
twelve or fourteen in all. Some were
young girls: but most of them were
men. Now it is remembered that Mrs.
Gunness had for a long time conducted
a matrimonial agency. She had been
married several times herself. She
conectea lire insurance on account or
two or three of her husbands. There
are several theories to account for the
dead bodies; but the most common one
is. that the woman put the men to
death as rapidly as she was able to
get hold of their possessions or make
arrangements to get their life insurance.
The whole horrible affair is being
investigated as thoroughly as possible.
? New York. May 3: The discovery
today in the reservoir in Central park
of the body of John Peter Heins, a
wealthy man, who had been strangely
missing for six months, revealed a
tragedy of deep mystery. There are
evidences that Heins was held captive
for ransom by a desperate band of
men and that when their demands
upon his wife for the payment of a
large sum of money were not met the
man was murdered and his body cast
Into the reservoir. An almost worldwide
search for Heins has been in
progress since his disappearance. He
had a considerable sum of money, estimated
between $75,000 and $100, 000.
Search has been made throughout
Germany and in the cities of other
foreign countries. Only after the
finding of the body did a certain letter
received by Mrs. Heins three
weeks after the disappearance of her
husband, appear in its truly sinister
meaning. She had been advised to
disregard the letter, but the statement
that her husband was held captive
for ransom, and the threat that
he would be done away with unless
she paid the price demanded for his
release, appear to have both been
made in earnest.
? Washington, May 6: At 11.20
o'clock tonight the Republican caucus
of the house of representatives
committed itself by a vote of 115 to
*> 1 tA t nri'nnl nln a f a a * * ? in o ro i o 1 no.
M i IV IIIU JJ1 VI VVIIIIIIVI ViUI [VU
per as an a-sset upon which to issue
extra circulation in time of emergency.
This is in accordance with the
Vreeland bill, but -by a separate action
the resolution was so amended as
to eliminate Mr. Vreeland's name from
the measure. By still another vote
the caucus decided to recommend the
appointment of a commission to consider
the currency question and report
a bill at the next session of congress.
Coupled with this provision
was another providing for the immediate
appointment of a committee of
Jive members to draft a new bill in
accordance with the action of the
caucus and along the general lines of
the second Vreeland bill. In accordance
with this action the chair appointed
as such committee Messrs.
Vreeland, of New York: Burton, of
Ohio; Weeks, of Massachusetts; McKinley,
of Illinois; and Knowlnnd. of
California. Under the terms of the
resolution the committee will be expected
to report a perfected bill to an
adjourned conference to be held next
Monday evening.
? Washington, May 6: The present
situation regarding legislation for the
Appalachian national forest can be
determined distinctly hopeful. The judiciary
committee in holding that
"where the forests can be clearly
shown to aid navigation, of a stream
navigable in whole or in part." the
government would exercise a constitutional
right in purchasing such forests
removes the "constitutional objec
11' 'II <11111 .>II"UIU IIUU aiiiiiiruiuiv
action. A joint bill by Congressmen
Lever and Currier conforming to the
conditions imposed by the judiciary
eommitfee. has been introduced (H.
R. 21.357), which, in the opinion of
the friends of this legislation, is a
carefully drawn measure meriting the
cordial endorsement and support of
the entire country. This bill has been
referred to the house committee on
agriculture and the fate of the measure
is therefore in its hands. It is believed
that this committee realizes
the importance of the matter and can
be induced to report the bill favorably
and it is also believed that if so
reported promptly, both the house
and senate will enact it into law at
this session. It would be helpful to the
forest cause if the committee on agriculture
could be clearly shown that
the real and aggressive sentiment of
' the south demands their prompt action
on this vital matter.
? Richmond, Va., May 6: Although
the South Carolina dispensary case

It Is noted at the end of the ord<

Entered at the Postoffice in Yorkvil
as Mail Matter of the Second Class
YORKVILLE, S. C.:
FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1908.
Let's see some man exhibit son
real courage on the road question.
That road resolution adopted by tl
county Democratic convention the otl
er day sounded all right. Now let i
see what it really means; we mean tl
convention.
Tiie people who have been doubtf
about the wisdom of continuing M
Bryan in control of the Democrat
party have been denounced as coi
spirators.
Bet really, does not politics mal
people do strange things sometime!
There are men who from time to tin
get on all sides of issues and principh
and they never get anywhere. The!
are others who stand steadfastly t
fixed principles and although they ma
have to take back seats temporaril
they generally come again.
Publishers in all parts of the cour
try are very much interested in tt
investigation of the wood pulp an
print paper question now being pros<
cuted by the house committee. Ni
inerous publishers who use immens
quantities of paper have been befoi
the committee. Their testimony is I
the effect that within the past fe
years the price of print paper'has ac
vanced from $1.50 to $2.50 per hundre
pounds, and there appears to be abst
lutely no competition in the busines
except in the field of the smaller cor
sumers who get their supplies throng
jobbers and who pay much higln
prices in proportion to quantity, qua
ity, credit, standing, etc. There hi
been abundant testimony to the effe<
that American manufacturers sell the
products abroad at much lower prict
than at home, and many large newspa
pers are about to go bankrupt becaut
of the high price of paper and the irr
possibility of their raising their sut
scription prices in the face of ruinoi
competition. It is the practically unar
imous opinion of the publishers wh
have testified that the removal of th
tariff on print paper would material]
reduce the present high prices with
out crippling the paper makers.
The Columbia State of Tuesday ha
a double leaded editorial about th
county convention in which it sai
it was a great victory for the "pec
pul." The "peepul" nothing! \V
looked over the reports of the meel
ings as published in the State an
were struck with the familiarity c
the names of those who participate
in the convention and in almost ever
instance they were the same fellow
who have been running the politic
of their respective counties for fiftee
years. We don't mean that there I
anything wrong in that. They are a
good fellows and as somebody has t
run the politics of the county the
might as well do it as anybody, bi
when a few hundred men get togethc
and shape up things to their notion
may be in accordance with the "pei
pul," and it may not. You can't a
ways sometimes tell. However, \v
venture the assertion that there isn
one man in five in this state who carc
a continental whether Bryan is th
nominee of the Democrats or not. Th
most of them had just as soon vol
for one man as another, just so he
labeled a Democrat.?Gaflfney Ledge
Don't sound real good maybe; bi
it is nothing but the plain truth. Th
people as a whole care almost nothin
about the matter. Fact is, if Yor
county is to be taken as an indicatioi
in all of South Carolina there were nc
as many people in attendance on th
precinct organization meetings as wei
sent as delegates to the different cour
ty conventions. However, it must I
conceded, the result is practically tl
same as if the attendance had bee
full.
Price of Cotton.
Cotton will bring; whatever the grow
er is willing to take, and no more.
It used to be that producers had HI
tie idea of supply and demand. The
sold cotton as rapidly as they coul
get rid of it. and speculators held f<
the profits that came later as the resu
of the demand being greater than tl
supply.
This year the farmers themselvt
have been doing the holding act.
Because of the deliberation of tl
farmers in putting cotton on the mai
ket in. the fall, prices held up vet
nicely.
Spinners bought supplies for sevei
al months ahead and then practical!
withdrew from the market in the hoj
that prices would go down in tl;
meantime.
It is frequently argued that farmei
made a mistake in not taking 12 cenl
when they could get it. As a matt<
ot fact, if all the farmers hud tried t
get 12 cents during the time that fig
ute prevailed, the price would havegoti
down to live or six cents.
The principal inlluence that ha
operated for lower prices is that farm
ers have continued to sell while cot
ton was going down. If the farmei
would refuse absolutely now to sel
prices would soar steadily until the
reached the temptation point.
;e Cotton will bring 10 cents now; bi
r- if everybody who has cotton should tr
i- to sell, tlie price would drop steadil
ip and rapidly.
1- The cause of the improvement dui
l_ ing the past few days has been that tk
ie spinners cannot spin contracts. The
jl must have actual cotton,
aj If the farmers hold out to the en<
1() they will get good prices; but so sui
s as they show a disposition to sacritic
>r their remaining holdings they will k
ts allowed to do it.

Truth and Honesty.
r- It is a common thing to hear me
9- complain that people are not as hones
m as they used to be and to express ap
y prehension as to what things are coir
t- ing to anyway; but really there is r
iy cause for concern about such matter
?y Truth and honesty are things that r
in man need worry about. They have a
y ways taken care of themselves an
ip there is no reason to fear that the titr
1- will ever come when they will n
te longer be able to do so.
le The thing is for every man to cart
ie fully guard himself. He need not woi
if ry about the dishonesty of others. N<
>r need he fear that he will ever sufft
any permanent disadvantage on at
? count of the dishonesty of others. Tht
is provided he does not forsake tl
ways of truth and drop into the waj
of dishonesty himself.
There are untruthful and dishone:
le
men in every department of life, n<
excepting business or professional avc
cations of any kind. There is not
man living outside of an asylum for in
. beciles who does not know the person;
* danger and disadvantage of exposin
| their dishonesty to the world. Th
fact makes these people past mustei
7 in cunning, deceit and fraud; but tl
^ one great effect of all this is only I
make such people deceive themselve
Dishonesty and untruthfulness canm
be hid in any cloak of bare-faced ga
or simulated frankness. Some men ar
women are more dishonest tha
others; but every one is eventual
sized up by those with whom they ha\
ie dealings at his or her exact value ar
deserts.
All men and women are not bot
>e honest or truthful. It Is doubtful
any are born that way. Honesty ar
js truth are more than anything: else ma
je ters of parental training:, or training:!:
contact with the world. Most men ar
women of good sense, soon learn aft<
U1 coming in contact with the world thi
r, truth and honesty are invincible. Son
ic learn that the quality of invincibilil
l. belongs only to the genuine articl
Others drop into what seems to be tl
easier and more pleasant tendency <
;e believing that a counterfeit is just i
,7 good.
ie But of course it is not to be undei
?s stood that anyone is advised to 1
re truthful and honest for the suppose
,y business or social advantage to be d<
Ly rived. That is next to impossible. Tl
y( kind of truth and honesty that
based upon that idea simulates tl
counterfeit. Honest honesty does n<
j_ and cannot consider consequences.
ie There is as much truth and honesl
1(j in the world as there has ever beei
?. and these qualities are no less powei
ful than they have always been. Thei
3e is absolutely no use to worry aboi
re them, for there is nothing on eartl
under the earth or above the earth tht
vv is better able to sustain itself at a

WITH THE SPECULATORS.
The developments in the speculative
cotton market yesterday were
summarized in a New York Associated
Press dispatch of last night as
follows:
The cotton market was very nervous
today, quite a sharp early break
being followed by an even sharper recovery
which carried the list into pew
high ground for the current bull
movement. The close was firm at a
net advance of 19 to 20 points. Sales
were estimated at 275,000 bales.
The market opened steady at a decline
of 1 to 7 points and during the
forenoon sold off to a net loss of 11 to
14 points in response to weak Liverpool
futures, better weather prospects,
realizing and increased offerings
from local bears who seemed to think
that the talk of private settlements
yesterday reflected an end of the
special strength in July. But the very
large English spot sales and reports
of strength in southern spot markets
were accompanied by consldexable
buying on a scale down, and when
Wall street bulls who are credited
with ha vine taken nroflts earlier in
the week began to support prices, 1
tl ere was a very sharp advance. The
market reached the high point late in
the day when early sellers seemed to
be covering in some confusion and
prices were about 33 to 35 points
above the low level of the morning.
The close was within a point or two
of the best on active months. A cable
from Liverpool reported that short
time was considered advisable in Manchester
but a later cable said that
manufacturers at the meeting next
week would vote against organized
curtailment. Some very bullish spot
advices were received, notably from
Memphis and while big spot people
were scald to be selling in Liverpool
such interests were buyers here at
times during the day.
Receipts at the ports today 11,125
bales, against 11,640 last week and
8,224 last year. For the week 55,000
against 57,595 last week and 58,832
last year. Today's receipts at New
Orleans, 3,434 bales, against 1,112 last
year. and at Houston 1,388 against
1,120 last year.
CANVASSING FOR OFFICE.
Although there are a number of inexperienced
men who are not aware of
the fact, for the benefit of all who want
office, experienced and inexperienced
alike, we want to say that the best
way to succeed in that direction is to
go after the coveted prize with a thorough
house to house canvass.
It is a common thing to hear men?
office holders and candidates?say: "I
it ? st- iifo nuWpd n man to
IliHC licin in ,,.j ...v ? ? _
vote for me, and I never expect to." ?
While, of course, this is not to be dis- <
credited, most individuals know just J
how much Importance to attach to such
a statement. If the candidate who
goes around showing himself and making
himself agreeable, even though he .
never makes known his business by
I word of mouth or otherwise, is not .
asking people to vote for him, we do
(not know what he is doing. ,
But this is just what candidates
[should do. They owe it to themselves .
and they owe it to the people. The .
people appreciate a thorough convass .
on the part of the candidates, und those
candidates who fail to make such a .
canvass are liable to suffer on account
of such failure.
There are candidates who think that
the best way to secure election is by .
making the rounds of the country in
fulfillment of the appointments of the
executive committee and who content
themselves with that. People have .
been elected with no more effort than
is implied in this; but elections under
snrh circumstances are the exception ,
rather than the rule.
In the old days candidates for office,
especially the offices that carry
living: salaries, used to scour the county
so closely as not to miss a house,
and they had no mistaken notions
about the propriety o;f such a canvass
either.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. ll>
The county board of commissioners m
ield Its regular monthly meeting In the or
fflce of the supervisor last Wednesday, '?t
vith all the members present, and hr
rave Its consideration to a number of of
natters that were brought to Its at- to
ention. m
There was a numerously signed pe- al
ition for the opening of a public road fo
'rom the corporate, limits of Yorkville th
:o Gabble's ford across Fishing creek "t
hrough the lands of Messrs. Robert
[jatta. W. J. Feweli, E. M. Shillinglaw T
ind Robert Shillinglaw and between ai
he lands of Messrs. John Carroll and U]
fieniy Shillinglaw. The petition was in
granted on condition that all rights of ct
,vay be secured free of cost to the m
:ounty. m
There was a petition from the TIr- y<
:ah neighborhood asking that the n<
haingang be sent as soon as practica- tt
)le to work the five roads that come nl
ogether at Tirzah Associate Reform- p|
d church. This petition was also b<
granted. b<
In the case of a petition for the erec- g<
don of a bridge over Guion Moore creek R
>n the Rlacksburg road between the hi
esidences of "NV. C. Whitesides and al
r. C. Wylie, Commissioner Kirkpatrick th
,vas asked to make investigation and m
-eport back at the next meeting of the tt
iard. T
On the demand of the board, made r(
n compliance with the recommendation Y
nade by the grand Jury at the April te
erm of the court of general sessions, ai
VIr. James Cansler refunded the sum tl
?f $39 expended by the board in the m
?rectlon of a bridge across n branch c
n the old Tirzah and Philadelphia
oad. This bridge was erected at the
nstance of Mr. Cansler. and the rec- R
immendation of the grand jury was cf
nade because it had developed that the N
oad in question had been discontinued ol
is a public road. The bridge had been e(
instructed during the administration ct
if Commissioners Boyd. Rainey and ai
Lumpkin. p]
Mr. W. S. Wllkerson of Hickory Y
Irove, appeared before the board with w
i numerously signed petition from cit- ci
zens of western York asking for the b<
instruction of a steel bridge over tt
Broad river near Howell's ferry. The \A
proposition was that York and Cherokee
counties each pay half the cost of b;
:he main structure and that each coun- tr
:y construct and maintain the ap- ai
;>roaehes on Its own side of the river, al
fhe board passed a resolution approv- m
ng the proposition on condition that tr
:he commissioners of Cherokee county te
ihall he willing to co-operate to such ti
in extent as a fair divide may require
if them. vl
The building of the proposed bridge, le
t is thought, will materially help trade tr
it Hickory Grove and other nearby m
joints by furnishing a nearer market e:
to people who now have to go from a<
twelve to fifteen miles to a railroad al
itation. By crossing the river they bi
:an reach a market within five or six
nlles.
FIRST A. R. PRESBYTERY. la
tt
The First Presbytery of the Associate
Reformed Synod of the South, which
.vas in session in Yorkville when the ^
ast issue of The Enquirer went to
press, got through with Its work on a<
ruesday night at about 10 o'clock and
idjourned to hold Its next meeting with ?
3ilead church on Tuesday before the
ast Sabbath in October, with Rev. G. 5
Ft. White, D. D., as moderator.
ta
The meetings of presbytery were at:ended
by large and interested conjregations,
and practically everybody ^
vas impressed by the large amount of '
'outine and special business that was
:ransacted in so short a time. The ^
programme as previously outlined was
icthered to strictly and, although a
mough time was given over to two
rial and four licensure sermons, by no
neans the least interesting feature of ^
;he meeting, no single one of the many ^
mportant items of business that de- w
nanded attention was neglected.
There was a great deal of business
m
)f a purely routine nature, or course,
hat is of no special interest to the pub- ,
ic. The spectator portion 01 me conjregation,
however, found much in the
iroceedlngs that was interesting and ^
;njoyable. The sermons of the young ^
ninisterial students were all of a high ^
irder and those of. the four candidates
g<
for licensure would not have been dis- ^
creditable to older and more experi?nced
preachers. The sermons that
vere delivered as specimens of prog- oj
-ess were also up to a high standard. Qj
There was an illuminating discussion ^
>f the tithing movement now being w
engineered by an earnest and efficient ^
committee, and much serious concern
was aroused over the question. The tj.
criticisms of the trial sermons by j
nembers of presbytery, especially by
;he ministers, was very much enjoy- r
si
When it came to criticism it was a
loticeable fact that very few of the ^
nembers of presbytery were inclined
:o offer anything. The gentle and chartable
Dr. Galloway was satisfied that
ill of these young men were of the
dght kind of metal; he thought they e(
iad acquitted themselves remarkably ^
veil under the trying circumstances, S]
md he had no criticism to make. The
inly real criticism that was offered was jj(
iy Rev. C. E. McDonald, and it was al
0 the point. He had listened to all the
sermons with note book in hand and
le gave the young men a most instruc;ive
talk on the value and importance js
if correct pronunciation and distinct- a
less of enunciation, particularly the
atter. He made it clear that he was jr
lighly pleased with all of the sermons ^
ind that his remarks were intended to a
ie helpful. Dr. Miller advised the w
roung men to use their best efforts to Cl]
jet away from their manuscripts as w
soon as possible. He warned them .u
hat three years would tell tlie story ni
ind that if they were not able to pt
1 reach off hand within that time they (j,
vould be tied to their manuscripts al- vr
oi'j on/1 ho u'n rnoil fhPm iidiinsf tllP K?
ime when failing eyesight would bring m
ibout serious embarrassment. Rev. th
Ar. C. Ewart endorsed what Rev. Mr.
McDonald had said, and by way of to
>mphasizlng the well conceived sym- j0
lathy of Dr. Galloway's attitude, re- yc
>eated the true story of a conversation vv]
hat occurred between two able and jn
xperienced ministers, members of this as
a me body, on the occasion of the tie- tr
ivtry of their licensure sermons. Some f0
Ittie time after both had been through
he trying ordeal, one asked the other, th
Do you remember whether I used such ju,
nd such an expression it) connection th
rjth such ifnd such a declaration?" sj,
To tell you the truth," replied the m,
ther, "it was half an hour after I sat
own before I could convince my legs Sj1
hat it was all over and I do not know q,
?hat you sajd any where." . er
Easily the most sti iking features of j)r
he entire meeting were the business- to
ke conduct of the proceedings by Dr.
t. G. Miller, the moderator, his fault?ss
comprehension and application of yy
arliamentary law and to crown it all ]
lie sound and sensible charge he de- fo,
,-ered to the young licentiates. Bven
en so well trained as preachers in F
derly deliberation are prone to talk
it of order with "nothing: before the ?1
use." Dr. Miller would have nothing: w
the kind. The member who underok
to make a remark except to a L
otion was promptly, but good naturly
squelched. "There Is nothing: bere
the house," he was told. Outside, a
le ministers spoke of Dr. Miller as a
he presbytery's Joe Cannon." b<
In charging: the young licentiates
uesday night, Dr. Miller said in part ei
id in effect: "You are entering not q
fion a vocation hut literally on a callig.
If you are looking for a life of ^
ise and pleasure here, you will be
Istaken. The average salary of a
Inlster of the gospel Is only $500 a
?ar, and I warn you that if you do
>t think you can be content with y
lat, now Is the time to turn back, for
'tcr you have put your hand #to the
ow in the Master's work, there must
? no looking backward. If you had
?en appointed minister of this great *
ivernment to England or Germany or v
ussia. you would feel that vou had a
igh and mighty position; but you are J
jout to enter upon a higher mission '
lan that. You are a minister of Al- n
ilghty God to represent and promote
le kingdom of Jesus Christ on earth. *
here is no higher work. But your C
'ward is not here. It is over there.

of your happiness fhere. 1
id I want to tell you that one hour c
iere is worth all eternity over here. J
(ay the love of Clod the Father, and t
hrist* the Son. sustain you." H
During the meeting a call from h
finnsboro was placed in the hands of c
ev. Oliver Johnson. D. D.. and ac- E
pted. Calls from Steel Creek and
eely's Creek were placed in the hands b
f Rev. VV. H. Stevenson. He accept- c
1 the call from Neely's Creek. A ^
ill from C,ill's Creek, Unity and Pleas- c
at Hill in Lancaster ' county, was f
laced in the hands of Rev. C. S. a
oung and accepted. Mr. Stevenson v
ill be ordained and installed at a spe- p
al meeting of presbytery on a date to j,
- fixed hereafter, and the sermon of t
le occasion will be preached by Rev. 1
7. C. Ewart. a
Before adjournment Tuesday, pres- v
rtery passed a resolution of thanks ?
i the members of the congregation
id to the people of Yorkville generlly,
for the delightfully hospitable j
tanner in which it had been enter- a
lined. After declaring the presby- b
>ry adjourned. Dr. Miller dismissed ^
le congregation with a benediction. ^
The members remained over in York- c
ille Tuesday night and most of them J
ft for their homes on the outgoing p
alns Wednesday morning. A few re- c
lained over until later in the day to F
tchange greetings with friends and F
iquaintances that they had been un- ?
t>ie to see during the progress of the F
usy meeting.
MISS NANCE IS ENCOURAGED. J
From a talk that the reporter had C
st Monday with Miss Mary T. Nance, F
le Winthrop graduate who has con- *
^crated herself to the work of build- 0
ig up the rural schools of South Car- n
ina, it appeared that this earnest and r
>emingly tireless young woman was ?
emer)dously pleased with the result t
her meeting with the farmers. t
Miss Nance has been in every coun- ^
r in the state, into many of them sev- '
al times and has made hundreds of c
.Iks to both town and country audi- s
ices; but her audience last Monday
icluded the largest number of repre- <mtatlve
farmers assembled especial- u
on her account that she has yet t
id the pleasure of addressing, and
lis is what gave her unusual encour- t(
fement. I
"I was just a little bit frightened, I ^
ally was," she said. "I did not feel l'
ke I was in as good condition as I
ould liked to have been. I was afraid
could not deliver my message as I
anted to; but I was so glad to see so ^
any people out?so many of the farers,
the very people who have to do ?
lis work if it is done, and they did
>em to be interested, don't you think r
??" she a.sked earnestly.
"I feel closer to this county than ''
er," Miss Nance continued. "There c
a great deal to do all over the state h
id I want to work wherever I can do *
lod, in one place as well as another. ?
ut these York county farmers seem c
- have given evidence of the deepest 1
id most earnest interest that I have P
jserved yet, I mean that big audience 0
i a whole, and I am going to do some ^
iore work here. I want to put in two A
eeks or even longer in the homes of 1
ie.se good, York county people this 1
?ry summer, and I know that some- u
ling can be accomplished. I feel it? o
am sure of it." s
Miss Nance said some things to the o
porter and several other visitors that .
ie did not feel warranted in saying in t<
le court house. She could have said t<
tern and it would have been all right, tl
' course, for they are startling, im- si
rtant and true. There is a hint in r
hat she did say?publicly?that the li
agroes are showing more interest in w
iucation than the whites, and that n
ie whites must arouse themselves, a
lie is convinced that whatever is done p
ir the advancement of education must d
; done by the fathers and mothers, f,
id that is why she wants to talk to y
ie people in their homes. ^
It is worth while for the people to p
' * *i XT??a/V .
loroughly understand mat uuaa naiwc D
not an ordinary individual. She is not 2s
freak or a crank either; but of the v
ghest type of Christian womanhood, -y
1 Columbia not long ago, a young man ei
eased in greasy overalls, and riding ^
bicycle, had an accidental collision rj
itli a crowded trolley car. Before the t]
ir could be stopped he was under the
heels. Women screamed and ran ^
vay and men stood about with open .
outhed indecision. Miss Nance hap ned
to be on the spot and was one of
ie first to the rescue. The injured
?ung man was bleeding profusely; "
it without a moment's hesitation she *
'ted his head on her lap, wiped away
e blood, bathed his face with her own fl
lintv handkerchief and did not offer ^
leave until her services were no e<
nger needed. She had never seen the tl

?nt. and unless her health gives way n<
