? Nashville. Tenn., November 12:
John J. Sharpe. ex-sheriff of this county.
was arrested here today charged
with murder and aiding and abetting
in the murder t?f Senator lCdward \Y.
Carmack last Monday afternoon. It
has been understood here for several
days that warrants would be issued for
the arrest of Sharpe. and his arrest today
was no surprise. It is alleged that
Sharpe was seen with Colonel Duncan
Cooper and Robin Cooper, his son.
shortly before the killing and was also
at the scene of the tragedy immediately
after Carmack fell to the ground.
Sharpe was at once taken to jail.
? Atlanta Is in a turmoil of political
excitement over a proposition to put
up an independent candidate against
James G. Woodward, the primary
nominee for mayor. The proposition is
the outcome of Woodward's recent arrest
for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct in a place of ill repute. It
will be remembered that he was twice
mayor of Atlanta and exposed himself
in a most disgraceful manner. His behavior
has been very good during the
past two years, and the feeling on account
of the present incident is all
the greater. The gene*.-al election takes
place December 2. It has not yet been
definitely decided that Woodward will
have opposition.
? New York, November 11: Harvey
W. Watterson, a lawyer, younger son
of Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, plunged to
his death from the 19th floor of his office
building at 37 Wall street late today.
His body shot downward for 110
feet and landed on the roof of a tenstory
building adjoining. Almost every
bone was broken, the head was
crushed and death was practically instantaneous.
While there were no
eye-witnesses to the tragedy, evidently
it was entirely accidental. Mr. Watterson's
hat and overcoat were on his
closed desk. Presumably he had attempted
to lower the window, and
either stumbling over the radiator,
which was in front of the low sill, or
losing his footing in some manner unknown,
pitched forward and down to
death on the roof below. Mr. Watterson
was 30 years old and married. He
was junior member of the law firm of
Wing, Russell & Watterson.
? St. Petersburg, NovemDer Although
an air of outward calm is maintained
at the Russian foreign office, the
Balkan situation has now reached an
acute stage, where everything depends
upon the nature of the note which is
expected from Vienna tomorrow and
the outcome of the mediation which
Russia, France and Great Britain have
undertaken at Belgrade, at AustriaHungary's
request, with a view of limiting
the belligerent activity of Servia.
If mediation is not successful, war is
recognized as a possibility in authoritative
circles. The Austro-Servian relations
are too strained, it is believed,
to permit present conditions to continue
indefinitely. The Austria note will definitely
outline the attitude of that
government regarding th? discussion of
the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
and the possible compensations
to Servia and Montenegro, and the nature
of the note will determine whether
or not an international congress can be
held.
? Chicago, Nov. 10: That grewsome
figure of speech?"listening to a voice
from the grave"?has been a startling
reality. Any unbeliever to verify this
statement has only to visit the office
of Coroner Hoffman and hear the
voices of murderers making their last
denials or detailed confessions after
they have paid the penalties for their
misdeeds. These voices of the dead
are to become a portion of the county
records. They will take their place
among the musty files of the coroner's
office and when necessary' may be used
in court. The verbal statement of a
man who is dead seldom finds its way
into court, except as repeated by another.
but this is one of the promises
of the new system. The phonographs
already have been used in one important
murder case?that of Mrs. Fannie
Thompson, who was strangled in a
Michigan avenue rooming house. The
story of Lyman C. Mann, accused of
being the mysterious "Raymond" who
rented the room in which the woman
was murdered, has been transferred to
one of the records and may be heard
among the other voices which the coroner
is preserving in phonographs.
? Memphis. Tenn., November 11: In
his address to the representatives of
the Southern Cotton association, which
met in convention here yesterday, President
Harvle Jordan of the association
urged 10 cents as the minimum price
for which the present crop should be
marketed, and declared that by concert
of action the price could be forced
to this figure before the close of November.
He advocated the formation
of a chain of warehouses whose receipts
would be accepted as collateral
for snort-time loans, ne uenuunctu
night riding and urged the adoption of
resolutions condemning all forms of
lawlessness. Mr. Jordan said that raw
cotton is the only great staple commodity
in the world today which is selling
below the cost of production, notwithstanding
the fact that it represents one
of the world's greatest necessities.
Seven southern states were represented
at the opening session of the conference
of growers, merchants and others
whose interests are allied with the
growth and marketing of cotton. W.
J. Crawford of Memphis, acted as temporary
chairman. President Jordan
was selected as permanent chairman,
and W. H. Gilbert of Chicelot. Ark.,
secretary. Addresses of welcome were
made by Mayor James H. Malone on
behalf of the city, and Governor M. R.
Patterson of the state, followed by responses
by Charles H. Gay of Montgomery,
Ala., and President Jordan.
Others who spoke today were Bishop
Thomas F. Gailor of Tennessee: W. P.
O. Harding of Birmingham, Ala., and
Bee Richardson of Vieksburg. Miss.
? Nashville, Tenn., November 11: A
state warrant charging him with the
murder of former United States Senator
Edward W. Carmack was served
on Robin Cooper at a hospital today.
Cooper is now in charge of three deputy
sheriffs. He will be removed to tne
county jail as soon as his condition
permits. It developed, according to
the nhvsiHan who is attending young
Cooper, that two shots were fired at
the young man, one penetrating his
shoulder, the other going through his
coat sleeve. The excitement in this
city over the terrible tragedy Monday
afternoon in which Edward W. Carmack,
former United States senator
from Tennessee, and editor of the
Tennessean, this city, was shot and
killed by Robin Cooper, a young attorney
of Nasnville, and son of Col.
Duncan B. Cooper, a close personal and
political friend of Governor Malcolm
R. Patterson, has to a certain extent
abated, yet the tragedy is still the
sole topic of conversation in political
circles both in this city and throughout
the state. Colonel Cooper, who
was with his son when the latter shot
Mr. Carmack, has been remanded to
jail without bond, charged with murder.
Young Cooper remains under
guard at a local hospital where his
wounded arm is being treated. His
preliminary trial on the charge of
murder will be held as soon as he is
oble to leave the hospital. Both the
Coopers and Senator Carmack have
many friends here and throughout the
state. Cooper's statement is that the
affair was merely a street duel in
which both sides met and both began
firing. The friends of the Coopers
claim they had tried to avoid a meeting
with Carmack. it is said, and they
were on their way to the state capitol
in response to a telephone message
from Governor Patterson when the
tragedy occurred; that Senator Carmack
had been warned and was expecting
trouble. Friends of Senator
Carmack strenuously claim that the
killing was the result of a conspiracy,
pure and simple: that when Senator
Carmack left the Tennessean office for
his boarding house the fact was telephoned
from a house near the Tennessean
office and the Coopers were notified
that the senator was on his way
and to be on the alert. It now develops,
according to friends of Mr. Carmack,
that there was a third party with the
Coopers just before the shooting, a
former county official who is a close
personal friend of both the Coopers
and Patterson. Friends of the dead
senator intimate that there will be
sensational developments within the
next day or so regarding the affair.
The Cooper family is one of the most
prominent in Tennessee, Colonel Cooper
and his son Robin will have the best
legal talent when the case comes up
for trial. Friends of Senator Carmaek
will see to it that he has able counsel.
<Thr ^(orkrillr inquirer.
Fntered at the Postofflce in Yorkvlllel
as Mall Matter of the Second Class.
YORKVILLE. S. C.t
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1908.
It gives The Enquirer much pleasure
to note the promotion of Mr. Robert
Lathan to the position of city editor of
the News and Courier. The News and
Courier, in all of its departments, is
one of the most carefully and ably edited
newspapers with which we have
any acquaintance, and to hold a responsible
position on it. one must be a
uio hnelnacc \fr T hw.Q
IJICl?>tKTi Ul llio ?^.v..v...
been a most valued member of the
News and Courier's staff for several
years, and his promotion to the position
of city editor is not only a well deserved
tribute to his splendid worth:
but a guarantee that there is to be no
depreciation of the high standard it
has always maintained in its local department.
We hope something will come of
that proposition to establish an agricultural
school in each county of the
state. It is difficult to conceive of an
educational enterprise that seems to
promise more for the future welfare of
the state. Clemson has its faults, of
course, and the institution could probably
be reorganized on a better and
more satisfactory basis; but there is
no denying the fact that Clemson has
already done much for South Carolina.
This state is right now in a fair way
to become one of the leading agricultural
states of the Union, and there is
no estimating the influence that Clemson
has exercised to that end. With a
good agricultural school in each county
to educate the local boys as far as
they may be able to go, to assist the
local farmers and to serve as a feeder
for Clemson. the agricultural progress
of the state will soon be stimulated beyond
measure. It is possible that some
of the counties may think that they
are not able to maintain such a school;
but so far as York county is concerned,
we think she is not only ready for it,
but she is willing to support it handsomely.
All that is necessary is a
proper presentation of the matter to
the people.
ALTHOUGH the friends or tne troopers
are trying to make it appear to the
contrary, the preponderance of the testimony
so far developed in the Nashville
tragedy the other day, indicates
that Mr. Carmack was simply murdered.
There has been a lot of talk as
to who fired the first shot, the side of
the Coopers claiming that it was fired
by Carmack. Mrs. Eastman's story
makes it very clear that young Cooper
fired the first shot. It seems to have
been shown very conclusively that because
of threats they had heard, Carmack's
friends had kept him in his office
pretty much all day. Their purnose
was unknown to Carmack so it
is stated, and when the editor went out
some one in the office forced him
against his inclination, to take a pistol
that they had given him. He was
clearly of the belief that he had said
nothing that would Justify an attack
and no attack was expected. Their
assertion to the contrary, notwithstanding.
there seems to be no doubt
of the fact that the Coopers had been
on the lookout for Carmack nearly all
day and they crossed the street to
Where he was standing, with his hat
in his hand, talking to a lady, and all
unsuspicious of danger. But as to
who fired the first shot is a matter of
little consequence, in this particular
instance. Whether he fired first or
last, with Mr. Carmack, it was clearly
a case of self-defense. Even that,
however, does not reach the bottom of
the issue, nor would it have reached
the bottom had CarmacK Kiuea Dom
>f the Coopers, instead of being killed
himself. Of course, Mr. Carmack
had no right to abuse or ridicule Col.
Cooper or any one else in his paper;
but there is certainly nothing in the
editorial that is said to have brought
on the killing that seems to be of sufficient
personal provocation to warrant
murder. It is difficult to see
where there was any mortal personal
offense in it. The editorial merely
sought to describe how, by harmonizing
various political elements Col. Cooper
had won a temporary victory. We can
very readily understand how Col. Cooper
and his friends could see that if
Carmack was allowed to go on, he
would soon put their organization to
confusion. And after all, at this distance.
that seems to have been the
real cause of the murder. But whether
Col. Cooper's party is right, or the
late Mr. Carmack's side is right, what
is to become of the people of Tennessee
when they are no longer allowed to
think? And how are they to have the
opportunity to think clearly and intelligently
if the press is to be dominated
by the pistol of the murderer? What
the law may do about the matter, it is
useless t?> predict, it is quite probal.l~

the Intense political partlzanship that
prevails throughout the state. Put
whatever the law may do. there is wisdom
in Mrs. Eastman's declaration to
Cooper that she would rather he in
the place of Carinack lying1 dead than
in the place of the living murderer. If
Cooper escapes the penalty of the law,
which is not unlikely, he will not escape
a realization of the truth of the
words of the Preacher when he said.
"He that is slow to anger is better
than the mighty: and he that ruleth his
spirit than he that taketh a city."
Parliamentary Order.
Without intending to be officious or
critical, and without intending any offense
to anybody, it is desired to offer,
for the public good, a few remarks on
the subject of parliamentary order,
more especially with reference to the
conduct of miscellaneous public meetings.
This writer does not pretend to be
an expe-t authority in all the ramifications
of parliamentary law. and It is
not the present purpose to enter into
an elaborate discussion of details; but
in times past he has attended scores, if
not hundreds of deliberative meetings
of various descriptions in this county,
and while the conduct of many of them
has been faultless beyond criticism, it
is a regrettable fact that the objects
of most of them are impaired or defeated
through failure to observe the
elementary principles of order.
It is very easy to understand why
the average good citizen of much more
than average intelligence and information
knows little of the commonly accepted
rules of order. With most of
them in this country, it has been their
misfortune to be so occupied with other
things that they have not had the
opportunity to acquire information of
this kind, which they are disposed to
consider as so much useless red tape.
Rut still it is a fact that order has its
place everywhere and in the successful
conduct of a public meeting it is
absolutely indispensable.
But it Is not necessary that the read
or become coniusen or aiarmeu. iu
become a really expert parliamentarian,
is a matter of years of experience. The
fundamental principles, however, necessary
for the ordinary conduct of the
average public meeting, are so simple
as to be easily within the comprehension
of a 12-year-old schoolboy, and
it is merely to the fundamental principles
that it is desired to call attention
now.
The first principle of parliamentary
law is one thing at a time, and the second
is one speaker on the floor at a
time. To go just a little further, the
principal duty of the presiding officer
is to permit no discussion until there
is something before the house, and to
restrict the discussion to that subject.
When a quasi deliberative body begins
a running discussion, participated in
by two or more speakers at a time,
some from the floor and some from
their seats, and the presiding officer
fails to enforce order, deliberation at
once goes to the winds. Until the subject
for discussion comes up regularly
in the form of a resolution, written or
verbal, there can be no enlightening
discussion, and so long as two or more
speakers undertake to talk at once,
there can be no order, and without deliberation
and order there can be no
business worth the trouble.
Let no reader gather the idea that
parliamentary disorder is confined to
the meetings of farmers and business
men. inexperienced in the niceities of
parliamentary law. Disorder often
breaks out in meetings composed of
men familiar with these things from
boyhood. In such cases everything depends
upon the presiding officer. He
must know the law, to begin with and
he must have the nerve and tact to enr

case in point occurred at the mee'ting
of the First Presbytery of the Associate
Reformed church in Yorkville
last spring. Rev. Dr. R. G. Miller, presiding.
The preceding question having
been disposed of, and a new question
intimated, but not offered in proper
form, various members began discussing
the new proposition. One
preacher fired away at the moderator
who announced: "There is nothing before
the house." The speaker went on
with what he had to say and when he
concluded, the moderator repeated:
"There is nothing before the house."
It was quite a while before the presbytery
began to appreciate the significance
of the repetition of Dr. Miller's
positive, but good natured assertion;
but when it did the matter was brought
up in proper form and good order was
restored. From thenceforward the
meeting proceeded regularly.
The fundamental principles of par
liamentary order, sufficient for the
government of any general public
meeting are:
1. Question before the house in a
regular manner.
2. Every speaker should rise before
addressing the chair, even if he Is to
say but a single word.
3. No two speakers should try to
occupy the floor at once. The chair
decides the preference.
4. A new subject should not be
taken up until the former subject has
been disposed of.
Of course, parliamentary law is not
without its endless niceities and ramifications,
and the study of it is most interesting;
but as stated, the above
principles are sufficient for the conduct
of ordinary business. Failure to observe
these principles Inevitably result
in confusion.
Farmkks* Union Convention.?Plans
for the large centra! warehouse which
the Farmers' Educational and Co-operative
Union purposes building took a
more definite shape in the convention
at New Orleans yesterday. After an
executive discussion by the Union, covering
the greater part of Wednesday
night, the following men were yester
day announced as composing me committee
which will take the matter in
charge: T. J. Brooks, Tennessee: G. R.
Hightower, Mississippi; J. Z. Greene,
North Carolina: J. W. Boyet, Jr.,
Louisiana; L. H. O'Martin. Georgia and
L H. Morris, Alabama.
The committee was given authority
to confer with a similar committee representing
the business men of New
Orleans. It was stipulated that the
committee representing the Union
should have at its disposal 1,000,000
bales of cotton to sell whenever It
deems the market capable of absorbing
that much.
The matte'* of securing warehouse
certificates for the cotton and making
them negotiable at local banks was
also placed in the committee's hands.
The convention also adopted a resolution
urging all the states to appoint
agricultural commissions such as
exist In Georgia.
Gov. Smith of Georgia, who was not
able to attend the meeting, sent a letter
in which he said that the cotton
should be marketed no faster than the
manufacturers needed it. Gov. Sanders
of Louisiana. F. L. Zelleri and C. L.
Latson of Atlanta were among the
speakers at yesterday's session.
Yesterday afternoon the delegates
made a sight-seeing tour of the city.
Where Was the Law??It is however,
disconcerting to think that in a
civilized community, where law and
am ciiniuieo/l tn ho naramnnnt
two citizens, who had already declared
their intent to take a fellowman's life,
may arm themselves and go forth to
fulfill that intent, and there not be
found one person in that community of
sufficient sagacity to intervene in behalf
of the law and for the preservation
of human life. If the friends of the law
had acted properly and promptly, Mr.
Carmack might now be spared to his
country and his home. We believe
that in a northern community, where
the peculiar southern attitude toward
the shooting-up of unsuspecting citizens
does not prevail, Mr. Carmack's
life would have been saved.?Columbia
State.
Hi i.lish Cotton Estimate.?Edward
Morse ?Sr Company, cotton brokers, published
Wednesday a bullish forecast of
the cotton crop. The conclusions are
based on a six weeks' tour of the
cotton belt by members of the firm.
They estimate the crop at 13,400,000
bales divided by states as follows:
Virginia, 15,000: North Carolina,
685,000: South Carolina, 1,100,000;
Georgia. 1.750.000; Florida. 60,000; Alabama.
1.350,000; Mississippi, 1,650,000;
Louisiana, 600,000; Texas, 4,000,000;
Oklahoma. 00,000; Arkansas, 000,000;
Tennessee, 350,000; Missouri, 40,000.
They report the character of the
present crop as unusually high. Louisiana
and South Carolina are making
the smallest yield per acre, while Texas
will probably be fully equal to the
big crop of two years ago.

Mr. J. L. Wood has been giving attention
to the matter of selecting seed
corn for years. His plan is to select
his seeds as he shucks his corn. The
result has been very satisfactory*.
Yorkville dealers are selling considerable
quantities of seed wheat, mostIv
in small lots. Messrs. Herndon &
Gordon have handled about one hundred
bushels so far this season and are
still taking orders. Other dealers are
also having a good demand.
Mr. A. L. Black, secretary of the
York County Farmers' Union has about
made up his mind not to plant any
cotton next season. He says he made
a good crop of oats this year, and has
sold a large portion of the crop at a
good profit. He thinks he will sow
practically all of the land he has heretofore
been working with wage hands.
A good York county agricultural
school established in Yorkville could
be made to work wonders for this
whole section. The past twenty-five
years have opened the eyes of the
world to the fact that there is more
promise of outcome in the science of
agriculture, than is offered in any other
line of material endeavor.
Mr. G. L. Suggs of Yorkville No. 8,
has sent The Enquirer six sweet potatoes
of the Early Golden variety that
weigh 30 pounds. The largest of the
six. weighs six pounds. Ordinarily the
Early Golden Is not a large potato; but
it seems that on good soil, well prepared.
it has surpassed itself in size,
Mr. Suggs has harvested about one
hundred bushels of potatoes.
The various participants in the competition
for the prizes offered by the
Farmers' Union for the largest yields
of corn grown on an acre, have been
gathering their respective crops this
week. The Enquirer has not heard
3ny of the results. The probability is
that the committees in charge will
keep figures to themselves until they
get ready to report to the County Union.
This will be better, no doubt.
ABOUT PEOPLE.
Mr. W. L. Jackson of Gastonia, spent
Wednesday in Yorkville, on business.
Mr. Tillman Huskey of Cherokee
county, was in Yorkville yesterday on
a visit to his son, Mr. T. B. Huskey.
Mr. W. R. Carroll and family, Mrs.
J. H. Carroll, Mrs. W. B. Moore and

Mrs. M. J. Ingold returned home
Tuesday night after spending several
weeks with her daughter, Mrs. C. C.
Randleman at Randleman, N. C.
Mrs. John M. Thomasson of Bethany
is critically ill and the information yesterday
was to the effect that she could
not be expected to live more than a
day or two.
OUR CORN PRIZE OFFER.
It has been called to the attention of
The Enquirer that it is desirable that
we lay down specific rules for the government
of the competition for the
prizes offered by us for the thirty best
ears of corn produced on acres competing
for the Farmers' Union largest
nn/1 it'a lio tfo rl r? I H tA Hft
j jciu i<ico uiiu n c Iiu t v uvwtuvu vw uv
so as follows:
1. For the best ten ears we agree
to pay $5. For the second best ten
ears we agree to pay $3, and for the
third best ten ears we agree to pay
$2. In all cases the prize winning corn
will become our property.
2. The competition for these prizes
is limited to the people who entered
the contest for the Farmers' Union
largest yield prizes.
3. Uaeh and every competitor will
be allowed to compete for all three
prizes; but to do so must make three
separate entries of ten ears each.
4. Each ten ears must be submitted
in a separate package, and along with
them the name of the competitor in a
sealed envelope.
5. The packages of corn may be
left at The Enquirer office at any time
between November 25 and December 1,
and we will undertake to keep them In
safe custody until they are placed in
the hands of the judges.
6. The judges as already announced,
are to be three in number and are to
be appointed by Mr. J. Frank Ashe,
president of the York County Farmers'
Union.
7. The judges are to have no Intimation
of the ownership of the corn on
which they are passing judgment until
after they have come to a decision and
made their awards. The names of the
winners will then be learned by tearing
oj.en the envelopes containing said
names.
8. All competing corn that fails to
win a prize will remain the property
of the contestants.
We urge each contestant to especially
observe the provisions of rule four,
which is intended to guard the name
of the oQiiripetitors until after the
award of fhe prizes and to insure subsequent
identification not only of the
prize corn: but of the corn that does
not win.
SPECULATIVE MARKET.
Following is a summary of yesterday's
developments in the speculative
cotton market as contained in an Associated
Press dispatch of last night
from New York:
After an early decline the cotton market
rallied today with the close steady
at a net advance of 2 to 8 points. Sales
were estimated at 250,000 bales.
The market opened steady at a decline
of 3 to 4 points and during the
early session sold off to a net loss of
f> to 6 points under a renewal of local
bear pressure and scattering liquidation
which was promoted by disappointing
English cables and the tendency to
increase estimates of the crop as reflected
by a couple of private reports,
one of which placed the probable yield
at 13,365,000 bales and the other at 13,250,000
bales. At the decline the market
received substantial support, several
prominent brokers entering the
ring with buying orders for (docks
ranging tip to f>,000 (tales and as soon
as the market steadied, some of the
early sellers began to cover.
There appeared to be nothing fresh
in the news to encourage the buying
movement but the market ruled generally
steady to firm during the afternoon
reaching a net advance of 6 to
11 points in the late trading and closed
within 2 or 3 points of the top on ac-|
tive months. The near months werej
relatively firm. The southern spot
markets officially reported unchanged
to 1-8 net lower. The temperatures
were shown to freezing point in northern
parts of the cotton belt last night
and general killing frosts are expected
tonight but weather conditions received
little attention and the day's improvement
was attributed almost entirely
to the operations of some of the
big spot interests.
Receipts at the ports today 77,?92
hales against 62.634 last week and 4H,614

OUR PREMIUM OFFERS.
It gives The Enquirer pleasure to call
especial attention to the unusually attractive
list of piemlum offers to
clubmakers that we are making in our
annual prospectus published elsewhere
in this issue.
Our offers of last year were of unprecedented
liberality; out the results
were entirely satisfactory ind we are
encouraged 10 venture even xuriner,
except that it seems deslr.tb'e to ofler
more premiums so that the benefits
may he distributed among a larger
number of clubmakers.
A careful reading of our offer as
published, will show that we are proposing
to give two leading premiums
in each township?one to the clubmaker
making the largest i-.?b and the
other to the clubmaker making lie
second largest club. Beside these,
special premiums are offered and It is
arranged that every clubmaker, whether
he has the largest or second largest
club in his township or not, will receive
fair compensation for all the
effort he may put forth.
As is fully explained, the competition
is open to all who desire to enter. Every
clubmaker will be on practically
an equal footing, the only material
difference being in the matter of experience.
and this advantage held by
those who have been making clubs
heretofore is often discounted by the
greater energy of ne v clubmakers.
There have been cases where clubmakers
have carried av.ay the highest
premiums as the result of their first
campaigns.
Under our offer of a Carolina Grade
Rock Hill buggy to the clubmaker returning
a larger club than any other
clubmaker of his township last year,
buggies were awarded In the townships
as follows:
Bethel 61
Bethesda 43
Broad River 185
Bullock's Creek 94
Catawba 51
Ebenezer 20
Fort Mill 58
King's Mountain 125
York 287
It will be noted that in several cases
the value of the buggies was considerably
greater than the aggregate
money value of the clubs for which
they were awarded, and while, of
course, there can be no guarantee of
such a thing, It Is not improbable that
the same thing will result this year.
Rut whetier a condition like this arises
or not, e.'erv clubmaker may feel assured
that he will receive a premium
that will fully compensate him for such
effort as he mav make in extending the
circulation of The Enquirer.
WITHIN THE TOWN.
? The Trinity congregation has installed
a splendid new furnace that
promises to heat the church most satisfactorily.
? Superintendent of Education McMackin
has moved into the residence
on South Congress street, just vacated
by Mrs. Janie Parish who has moved
to Lancaster, with the intention of
making that place her future home.
? After more careful deliberation
over the matter, the citizens' committee
having charge of the telephone
matter, has decided that the recently
signed petition asking the town council
not to grant any kind of a franchise
except upon a vote of the people,
goes a little too far. The committee
concludes that it may be very well
to leave in the charter authority to
grant short time franchises. The
original petition, therefore has been
amended so as to provide that the election
be he'd on the question of amending
the charter so as to restrict the
granting of franchises for a longer
period than two years except upon a
vote of the people. The amended petition
is now being circulated among the
signers of the original petition, and the
understanding is that it will be presented
to the town council at a meeting
of that body to be held on November
20. In the meantime, a petition is
in circulation asking the council to
grant a twenty year franchise to the
company on a guarantee by the company
of reasonable charges for phone
rent.
? Quite a large number or relatives
and special friends of the young people
gathered at the residence of Mr. B. R.
T. Bowen on King's Mountain street
last Wednesday morning to witness the
marriage of his daughter. Miss Floride
to Mr. Walter Wheeler Love. The

pretty. The wedding mnreh was played

Green and the ceremony was perform?d
by Rev. W. J. Wylie, pastor of
Bowling Green. Allison Creek and
Beth-Slilloh churches. There were
four pretty little flower girls, dressed
in white and blue?Virginia Miller of

numerous s.nd pretty. Shortly after
the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Loye left
for the home of the groom's father, Mr.
R. J. Love, near Piedmont Springs.
LOCAL LACONICS.
Services at East View.
Revs. R. T. Marsh, pastor of the
First Baptist church, Rock Hill, and
I. G. Murray of the Yorkville church,
have been conducting a protracted
meeting this week at East View school
house near the residence of Mr. C. C.
Hughes, which was commenced last
Sunday. Two services have been held

Mr. Marsh has been doing the preaching.
The closing service Is to be held

Constitutional Amendments.
Neither of the constitutional amendments
voted on in the recent election
were of a nature calculated to engage
general public Interest. One relating
to Gaffney tax levy is of importance
onlv to Gaffnev. and the other relating
to a change In the title of the adjutant
and inspector generai is also of little
practical moment. The total vote cast
in the state and county elections was
1,513. The total vote on the proposed
amendment to Article XIII of the constitution
was 1.147, and on Article VIII,
1.H63. On the amendment to Article
XIII, the vote was. "Yes," 670, "No," 468.
On the amendment to Article VII, the
vote was "Yes," 712, "No," 351.
To Protest the Birds.
Rock Hill special to Charlotte Observer:
Game Warden Harry Wylie
has donned his cap, badge and gun
(not to hunt for birds) and gone into <
the field hunting for hunters who are f
violating the game laws. The season 1
does not open in this county until November
1.5th, but some hunters have
either misconstrued the law or have 1
wittingly gone afield before the ap- i
pointed time. Mr. Wylie says that \
many non-residents of the state are !
under the Impression that by an invitation
from a land owner In this
state they can come over and hunt,
which Is all wrong. The law says a
non-resident of the state shall pay a
license of $10 and 25 cents to cover fee
charges, etc. Mr. Wylle does not wish
to make trouble for any sportsman, but
says he will prosecute for any violation
of the game laws, regardless of person.
Death of H. B. Thompson.
Information has been received of the
death and burial of H. B. Thompson,
formerly of Bethel township, and late
of the I'nited States navy. His death
occurred at Kansas City. Mo., last
Saturday, and the first news received
I by his uncle, Mr. I. B. J'aires of Charlotte
No. 12, lead to the belief that it
was the result of foul plav. The telegram
gave chloroform as the cause. It
has since developed that the chloroform
was self-administered, but as to whether
the fatal result was a matter of accident
or design is not clear. Young
Thompson, who was discharged from
the navy at the expiration of his enlistment
on October 18. had on his person
at the time of his death a check
for $78 and a ticket to Greensboro. N.
C. He was a son of the late E. S.
Thompson of Hillsboro. The interment
took place In Steele Creek cemetery in
Mecklenburg county.

Cakmack's Fatal Editorial.?The
editorial referring to Colonel Cooper
in the Tennessean last Monday morning
is one of several which have mentioned
Cooper. It had reference to a
recent conference between Governor
Patterson and former Gov. John I. Cox,
between whom, because of past political
contests, it has been alleged the
feeling was anything but cordial. The
editorial is headed "The Diplomat of
the Zweibund," and reads as follows:
"To Major Duncan Brown Cooper,
who wrought the great coalition; who
achieved the harmonious confluence of
incompatible elements; who welded
the pewter handle to the wooden spoon;
who grafted the dead bough to the
living tree and made it to bloom, and
bourgeon and bend with golden fruit;
who made playmates of the lamb and
the leopard, and boon companions of
the spider and the fly; who made soda
and vinegar to dwell placidly in the
same hottle, and who taught oil and
water how they might agree?to Major
Duncan Brown Cooper, the great
diplomat of the political Zweibund, be
all honor and glory forever."
Tii.lmax on Carmack.?The Trenton
correspondent of the News and
Courier carried Senator Tillman the
news of the sudden and tragic death
of his former colleague, Senator Carmack
of Tennessee, today. He was
very much surprised and shocked and
said that Mr. Carmack was a knightly
and noble-hearted gentleman, and that
the south can ill spare such men at
this time. "His taking off in such a
wav and for such a cause is deplorable,
nay, horrible," said Senator Tillman,
'and without knowing anything about
the facts the newspaper reports would
indicate that he was assassinated, being
shot from behind and any one who
knew him would feel absolutely certain
that he was not running. Altogether
it is a lamentable affair."?News and

to life imprisonment in the penitentiary.
Agnew confessed his crime. He

"prank"* with the locks. The prisoner <

? Columbia, November 11: A practical
demonstration that sweet potatoes
may be profitably grown in this state
in large quantities for manufacture of
commercial starch within the state
may be made in the near future by an
Tmv'a man tt'hn u*anfa tn nnmo tn tho
state and put up a starch factory, and
who is now in correspondence with
Commissioner Watson on the subject.
Clemson college had in its exhibit at
the state fair Just ended a quantity of
this starch so made which attracted
much attention from persons interested
in the subject on account of the excellent
quality of the article. It seems
that starch from sweet potatoes was
made in this state before the war, but
it was of a crude sort that could be
used only for home consumption. According
to a bulletin Just Issued from
the Federal agricultural department
on the Clemson experiments, that institute
has been the first to demonstrate
that South Carolina potatoes can
be profitably turned into starch. With
a starch factory, the bulletin points
out, there would be no loss to the
growers on account of crating, shipping
to distant points with chances of
the shipments rotting on the way. The
potatoes could be shipped in bulk from
all over the state to the starch factory
the danger of rotting cutting no figure
and the farmer being always sure of
disposing of all of his crop at good
prices.
? Spartanburg special November 11,
to Greenville News: John Irby, colored,
was convicted at the special term
of court here today, special Judge O.
L. Schumpert presiding, on the charge
of attempting to ravish Miss Lelia
Dempsey on the morning of October
10, and was sentenced to serve thirty
years at hard labor. There was no
demonstration when the verdict was
rendered. The court room was crowded
this morning when court convened
and hundreds of people stood in the
lobbies on the outside. Military guards
were on duty in the court room and
around the Jail. When Irby was
brought in he was accompanied by a
full company of soldiers who brought
him in on a trot. The minute the bar
was entered the soldiers formed In a
circle about the prisoner. Judge
Schumpert was taken by surprise by
the appearance of the military company.
He said that such precautions
were not necessary, and with a voice
full of feeling he appealed to the good
sense of the assembled crowd and their
patriotism, to conduct themselves as
law-abiding citizens at all times and
especially in the presence of the court.
He dismissed the troops stating their
presence was not required to maintain
order or protect the prisoner, though
if any of the soldiers desired to remain
in the court room as citizens they
might feel free to do so. His expressions
were given thunderous applause,
and it was sometime before order was
restored. Miss Dempsey came into the
court room leaning on the arm of her
father. With her were her mother,
brothers and sisters. She was exceedingly
pate and seemed much agitated
at first. She was the first witness, and
she told in detail the story of the assault.
Her testimony only went up to
the point where she lost consciousness
in the woods as the result of the choking.
What transpired after that she
said she knew nothing of. Miss Dempsey
was very positive in her identification
of Irby. She said she had seen
him almost every day for two weeks
prior to the assault. Drs. H. R. Black
and J. L. Jefferies testified as to the
condition of Miss Dempsey, stating she
had been choked almost unto death,
that the skin about her neck was broken
and bruised, her eyes blood-shot,
and that she was bleeding from the
mouth. She was in a most fearful condition.
Irby was placed on the stand
and he denied the charge stating that
he was on his way to Saxon mill to
get his money and had Just stepped into
the woods for a second when Mr.
Porter appeared with a gun and took
charge of him. The case was submitted
to the jury without argument and
after being out three minutes a verdict
of guilty was returned. The prisoner
was represented by Ca.pt. W. M.
McGowan by appointment of the court.
The attorney asked to be excused stating
he had such strong feelings in the
case that he could not do the prisoner
justice, but he finally consented to
appear for the negro. Irby was taken
to Columbia tonight by Deputy Sheriff
Becknell to enter upon his long service.

? v^uiumuia opcciai ui nuTwiuw&i
to the Charlotte Observer: Among
the very Important measures to be presented
to the new legislature next
spring will be a bill looaing to the establishment
in every county in the
state of a practical agricultural school,
to teach by actual work on the farm
modern scientihc agriculture by state
aid, supplemented by tax or popular
subscription from the counties, and
supervised and assisted by the Federal
department of agriculture through its
experts at work in this territory. It
is hoped also to get four big agricultural
high schools with financial aid
from the Federal government under
the Davis bill now pending In congress,
and which is expected to pass
this spring, these schools to be established
in widely separated sections of
the state so that any farmer may have
access to one of them. Their establishment
and maintenance will also
call for state aid. The principal backers
and promoters of the proposed
scheme appear to be Congressman Lever,
Governor Ansel, State Superintendent
of Education Martin, Commissioner
Watson, State Senator Weston.
Messrs. Watson and Martin will make
a strong recommendation along this
line in their forthcoming annual reports
to the legislature, and it is expected
Governor Ansel will back them
up in his message. A conference between
the officials interested with Mr*.
Ira W. Williams, state agent of the
Federal agricultural department's farm
demonstration work here, will be held
in a few days with a view to working
out the details of the scheme and licking
the proposed bill into practical and
acceptable shape. Mr. Williams, who
has had large experience with work of
this kind, says it will cost not less than
$10,000 apiece to equip first-class
schools of the kind and another $10,000
a year to maintain them and make
them carry out the work for which they
are intended. The idea is not only to
give the young men a thorough, practical
knowledge of scientific farming
through actual work, on a farm, but
to give regular lectures and conduct
work along with it to the farmers of
the various counties as well at regular
weekly or semi-monthly periods. Mr.
Williams points to the splendid work
that has been going on for some years
at Macon, this under a woman who
founded and built up the Institution,
as an Illustration of what real lasting,
practical benefit can be accomplished
in this direction. Georgia tried county
schools, but had to abandon them
as too expensive. Dr. Barrow, the new
head of the agricultural work at
Clemson, appears to be anxious to
have the new demonstration system of
teaching farming at that institution by 1
11fi\ uift int* siuueius go uui anu uo actual
work on the farm. To this end
he has asked Mr. Williams to Clemson
to help him work out the details to be
presented in a report to a meeting of
the board of trustees to be held now
in a short time. Dr. Barrow was formerly
with the Federal department
and has had large experience in this
line. Mr. Williams says the Federal
department is spending more money and
doing more work in this state than
in any other in the Union, and the several
heads of departments who have
supervised work here are greatly interested
in the progress that has been
made and the ready response shown
by farmers throughout the state to
teaching of new and improved meth- 1
ods. and these heads are personally
putting forth every effort at headquar- I
ters to extend the work all along the
Hue. The farm demonstration depart- '
inent under Dr. Knapp is now spending
$13,000 a year in the state with
twenty trained men constantly at work .
In the field, and hopes to double this
imount by another year. The farm
management corps under Dr. Spillman
is running Dr. Knapp's department
a close race. About $10,000
a year is being spent on the tea farms
at Summerville, and about that much
more on the medical farm at Florence.
In addition to this, expensive experiments
are being conducted in cotton
breeding, corn breeding, tobacco cul- V
ture, tick eradication and dairying.
