? Washington, April 11: British Inheritance
taxes drawn from a population
of 44.000,000 yield $90,000,000 to
$95,000,000 annually out of a total internal
revenue of $470,000,000 to $480,000,000.
About 4,000 estates pay the
bulk of these taxes. This Is the substance
of a report by Chas. M. Pepper,
who has been investigating the subject
for the bureau of manufactures, department
of commerce and labor, In
connection with the tariff revision.
The revenue from the death duties,
Mr. Pepper says, is a little more than
half that from excise impost and considerably
more than half the amount
realized from the income tax. In the
rates of duties for successions, legacies
and estates of less than $500 are exempt.
The duty ranging from 1 per
cent on estates from $500 to $2,500,
up to 10 per cent on estates of $3,600,000
to $5,000,000. Above $5,000 there
Is a graduated scale.
?Work has been renewed on the double
tracking of the Southern railway
between Atlanta and Washington, and
it is expected that the construction
of the second track will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. The previous plans
will be carried out and the work will
consist in the double tracking of various
portions of the road which will
Anally form the connecting links in
the double tracking of the entire system.
The double tracking of the road
from Lynchburg, Va., to Diemet, Va.,
has been resumed, as has also the
double track from Ashevllle to Craggy,
N. C. The latter work includes the
construction of a concrete viaduct over
the French Broad river at Ashevllle.
About one year will be required to
complete the contracts, which have
been let to the W. J. Oliver Construction
company of Knoxville, Tenn.
The work was suspended about eighteen
months ago, on account of the
financial depression. The Southern
railway, with its last issue of bonds,
expects to make many improvements
over its various divisions.

When It is desired to

It is to raise more. The Japanese are

respect. While the United States, i
Germany and England have been increasing
their yearly budgets to burdensome
proportions, the sensible Is-1
landers on the other side of the world
have reduced their appropriations vy
the tidy sum of $178,500,000. The
truth Is that we have been much too
lavish in our disbursements, and a 5 or
10 per cent cut, such as is suggested,
is highly desirable. But that will not
solve the problem with which we are
now confronted. We are considerably,
not to say seriously, in debt, and ways
must be devised for the liquidation of
our obligations.
? Chicago, April 15: It was a day
of tumult and sharply shifting fortunes
in the wheat pit of the board of
trade today. July wheat,' following a
docile advance to a new high level,
suddenly dropped an extreme 4| cents.
The "pyramided" fortunes of small
speculators vanished in a trice and the
day was saved from rout only by the
vigorous exertions of the bull leader,
Tom oh a Patten. It was 15 or 20
minutes before closing: time when the
selling tornado hit the pit. Stop loss
orders came out In a deluge and the
beare, stirred by a five cent decline at
Winnipeg, based, It was said, on reselling
by exporters, attacked the market
with a great spirit. July tumbled
half a cent at a time to $1.14), an extreme
loss of 4i cents; May in larger
jumps dropped to $1.26, and September,
an undisputed new crop month,
which had attained $1,082, declined to
$1.05]. Here the Patten purchases
made their influence felt and the close
of the session found July at $1,158 to
2; May $1.27) to 8. and September at
$1.06). In talking with newspaper men
today, Mr. Patten referred frankly to
himself as a speculator as well as a
grain merchant, and incidentally admitted
that he is long of cotton.

in wheat without dabbling in cotton?"
came a query. "Well, I'll be frank.
I'm a grain merchant, but I'm a speculator
also. I like to speculate. It's a
great game. The way It looks to me Is
this: Cotton at the present price is just
about as cheap as wheat would be
around a dollar, so I took a flyer, but
believe me. I'm not trying to manipulate
It"
? Asheville, N. C., April 14: Of the
once beautiful structure, Kenilworth
inn, that In its day has housed many
of the country's greatest celebrities,
nothing remains tonight but a pile of
charred and smoking ruins. Despite
the fact that the alarm was sounded
at 2.30 this morning when all the
guests were alseep, only one person
was Injured, Former State Senator
Joseph M Gazzam, owner of the hotel,
who jumped from a third story win
dow in an effort to escape miu ^uotained
Internal injuries, the outcome
of which is doubtful at this hour. At
9 o'clock tonight it was reported from
Biltmore hospital that Senator Gazzam
had been unconscious since noon
today and that his spine was injured.
Hopes for his recovery are entertained,
however. Senator Gazzam's action in
going back to his room, after being
called six times, and his refusal to get
up when first called, in ample time
to escape, has caused much speculation
among his friends, and it is thought
that he might have become unnerved
by the first alarm of fire. After hesitating
at the window of his room,
whence the smoke poured in heavy
volume, Mr. Gazzam jumped from the
window to the roof of the porte-cochere,
rolling thence to the ground. A
heavy rug: was held for him by the
firemen standing by the porte-cochere,
but the aged senator missed it in his
fall. All the out-of-town guests who
escaped have been comfortably housed
in other hotels. The stories of escapes
made in night attire ate many and
varied. One young woman walked all
the way into Asheviiie, three miles
barefooted and wearing only night robe
and kimono. Many of the guests, it
is said, lost valuable jewelry, including
diamonds of high price, and tonight
a special patrol of police guards the
ruins from "beach combers," as they
were termed today, who have been
prowling around since early morning
in the hope of finding fortune among
the debris. The company which built
Kenilworth inn eighteen years ago was
composed of Dr. Browning of Phila
delphia, Strawbridge & Clothier, Philadelphia;
Senator Joseph M. Gazzam
of Philadelphia and George W. Vanderbilt
of BUtmore. The latter was the
heaviest stockholder. His and the other
Interests were acquired by Senator
Gazzam six years ago, and since that
time different lessees have presided
over the destinies of the hotel. Mrs.
Anna D. Martin leased the hotel only
a month ago. The origin of the fire,
while still in doubt, is thought to have
been from embers in the big kitchen
range. The total insurance Is now
placed at $72,500. The total loss is
estimated at $250,000. It is doubtful
if Kenilworth inn will be rebuilt.

of such encouragement was not really

Sharon, April 14.?An event of absorbing
interest to all Sharon people,
and hosts of friends from other points,
passed off Wednesday, when the marriage
of Miss Julia Ethel Plexlco,
daughter of Mrs. R. R. Plexlco, to Mr.
Harrison Jenkins, formerly of North
Carolina, now of Sharon, was solemnized
in Woodlawn Presbyterian church
at 2.30 o'clock. Beforehand the church
had been beautifully and appropriately
decorated by loving hands, and long
before the appointed hour, the crowded
building showed the great popularity
of the two. Miss Minnie Palmer
presided at the organ, and rendered
Mendelssohn's march, which ushered
the bridal party in. First came the
ushers, Messrs. Thos. Sims and Mason
Smith, then the little flower girls,
charmingly dressed in white swlss
with blue sashes. Little Misses Alleln
Shannon and Josle Saye down the
right aisle, and little Misses Annie Lee

and the ring bearer, little Miss
Beatrice Robinson?niece of the groom,
followed by the groom with his best
man, his twin brother, Mr. Cleveland
Jenkins.
Down the other aisle came the bride
on the arm of Dr. Joseph H. Saye. Rev.

Ar Indicated by the fact
that there wan a ring1 bearer, the ring
ceremony was used. Just before the
bridal party entered, the beautiful
song. "Oh, Promise Me," was impressively
rendered by Mrs. McAliley.
Immediately after the ceremony,
the bridal party returned to the home
of the bride, where for a few minutes
they received congratulations, and
best wishes from their numerous
friends, and then left for the station,
where they boarded the Southern for
Washington and other points of interest.
The bride's lovely bridal gown was
of white messallne satin, with trimmings
of real lace and veil-entrain.
The maid of honor was gowned in blue
silk, and the bridesmaids in white
swiss dresses with blue girdles.
At 10AO Wednesdav morning the

Vp to the Farmer.?The movement
for covering cotton bales with cotton
bagging seems to be making some
progress. The Birmingham Age-Her?
.. . _i?. mii_
am says inui uuuui uue huhuicu ......
lion yards of cotton bagging are now
used in covering the bales of cotton
for market?but not a yard of this cotton
bagging is made in the south. This
is an extraordinary condition of affairs.
The Charleston News and
Courier referring to it says that one of
these cotton bagging factories is said
to be located In New York, another in
Boston and a third in Indiana. "At
one time," says the News and Courier,
"some bagging of this sort was manufactured
in Charleston, but its manufacture
was abandoned because there
was not enough profitable demand for
it, the farmers preferring to bale their
cotton in jute bagging which has generally
been used for this purpose. On
the contrary, there is in Charleston "a
flourishing Jute bagging factory and
has been for many years. Its annual
output is from six to eight million
yards and it is one of the largest ana
most successful industries of the kind
in the country." The trouble has been
heretofore a lack of demand for cotton
bagging, but the fact that the market
for it has grown to 100,000,000 yards
is some encouragement. If the farmers
create a demand for cotton bagging
in preference to jute, the bagging
will be quickly supplied by the southern
manufacturers. It would be a silly
piece of business for the southern cotton
mill men to put in machinery and
go into the manufacture of an article
for which there is no demand, or at
least but a very small demand. The
proposition is therefore entirely in the
hands of the farmers and it is a little
bit hard to understand why they are
slow to take hold of it. The conversion
of their waste, or low grade cotton
into cotton bagging ought to produce
for them many a dollar where no
dollar is now produced?Charlotte

? Columbia, April 14: Judge Hydrick
today signed an order dismissing the
.: ..... - - ?. > nova fur .Tnhn Y.

Garlington to dissolve an attachment
upon his lands. This means that the
lands in Laurens county owned by Garlington,
well known in connection with
the "Seminole case" are attached under
the writ as issued at the Instance
of the Carolina Agency, a company doing
business in this state for the State
Mutual Insurance company of Rome,
Ga. The Carolina Agency in its complaint
alleges that Garlington owes it
not less than $25,000 and wants an acof
his conduct of its affairs
while treasurer and general manager
of the company. Affidavits in this
case were submitted by W. A. Clark
of this city who was president of the
agency. The points of law decided in
Judge Hydrick's opinion construe the
statute of this state as to writs of attachment.
Counsel for Garlington, A.
C. Todd of Laurens, argued before
Judge Hydrick that inasmuch as the
case is one of an equitable nature an
attachment cannot hold. Judge Hydrick
in dismissing Mr. Todd's motion
for dissolving the attachment holds
that the statute in its present form is
so worded that the present case came
under it. There are a number of interesting
legal points involved in the
order. The attachment proceedings
were instituted through the local firm
of Logan and Edmunds and this is
quite a victory for them.

To talk to a juror about a case on
which he may have to sit, Is contempt
of court, and it is the duty of a Juror
so talked to, to at once report It to the
court. This thing: of trying to influence
Jurors, however, Is much more
common than It ought to be.
The advance of the market to 10 cents
has brought out considerable quantities
of cotton. Local buyers, however,
say that they have very little demand
for cotton, and although they are trying
to take care of all that is offered
they are not especially anxious. It Is
commonly conceded that It takes about
a cent a pound to put cotton In New
York with a fair margin of profit; but
local buyers are paying within half a
cent and more of what they can get
in New York.
The recommendation of the grand
jury with reference to the report of

Is really only a repetition

along: the same line. The report of
the supervisor Is made up of a record
of the various items paid, usually In
the order In which they are approved
by the board, and while It Is not Impracticable
for the average Individual
to group and total the Items going to
different purposes, people unaccustomed
to such work find It tedious. A systematic
grouping of the expenditures,
will enable the taxpayer to see at a
glance where the money goes to and
what for. As we understand it, however,
the reports as published heretofore.
are in compliance with the law,
and as to whether there can be any
compulsion in connection with the
adoption of the grand jury's very appropriate
recommendation is rather

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET. ,
following were trie ueveiopmeius in
the speculative cotton market yesterday
as summarized by an Associated
Press dispatch of last night.
Another set of new high records
was made in the cotton market today
with trading the most active and excited
so far on the bull movement and
I probably surpassing that of any day
for months if not for the past two
years. The close was strong and within
a point or two of the best at a net
gain of 25 to 32 points. The market
opened firm at an advance of 8 to 15
points on bullish Liverpool cables, both
public and private, the absence of further
rain in Texas, covering by yesterday's
sellers and fresh buying for
long account. After selling at a net
advance of 12 to 15 points, a somewhat
reactionary tendency developed
as a result of extremely heavy realiz
Ins: by old longs, selling for a reaction,
and slightly less encouraging late <
cables, but the market sold off only 7 3
to 8 points from the top, and offerings I
were so surprisingly well absorbed as t
to alarm early sellers for a turn. c
Later there were reports of a large t
spot business at advancing prices and s
during the last hour the market was (
the strongest and most excited of the f
day with prices advancing In sensa- (
tlonal style on rumors that Chicago I

SMALLPOX SITUATION. 1
There was another death from small.
.. _ . _A c
pox in tne yoi-k couon miu viuuse, tu
about 2 o'clock Wednesday morning, f
making nine since the beginning of 5
the outbreak about the 7th of March. 1
The last victim was Mr, W. W. Wil- '
Hams, whose critical condition was
mentioned In the last Issue of The En- r
quirer. The understanding is that he *
had never been vaccinated, because at 1
the beginning of the outbreak, he said B
he feared vaccination more than small- 1
pox. r
The other patients in the cotton mill
Village are convalescent with the ex- (
ceptlon of Mr. John Thompson, the '
outcome of whose case is not to be pre- A
dieted at this time with a great deal
of assurance. *
There are no cases of smallpox In the 1
town of Yorkville or on the outskirts,
except those already mentioned at the c
York cotton mill and there Is but lit- s
tie fear of further spread. The heaJth
authorities In Yorkville feel confident r
that the disease has been stamped out; c
but they have not yet abandoned their *
vigilance.
Vaccination has been more general s
than has ever been known in the cam- 1
munlty before, and It having been *
demonstrated that vaccination ensures 1
Immunity, there is but little material
for the disease to work on. '

FINAL PRESENTMENT. *
The grand Jury got through with Its ll
business on Wednesday, and was discharged,
after submitting the follow- 1
ing addressed to Hon. J. C. Klugh, c
presiding Judge, and signed by J. S.
Sandifer, foreman, as its final present- a
ment: tl
We, the grand jury of York county
hereby submit the following report as o
jur nnai presentment at tnis term or t,
jourt.
First. We have carefully considered 11
ind passed upon all bills of Indictment tl
submitted to us by the solicitor, and f<
returned the same to court with our n
findings thereon.
Second. We respectfully recommend e
that hereafter the magistrates of the q
:ounty dispose of all criminal cases ?
that are within their Jurisdiction and
lot burden the court of sessions with
;ases that they themselves should dispose
of, and, In this connection, we c
ilso recommend that the magistrates fl
jxercise more care In binding over all
naterlal witnesses In cases sent up to c'
the court of sessions. P
Third. Committees of our body have n
tieen appointed to examine the county t|
offices, the poor house, and Jail, and
ihalngang, and will report at the July w
term of this court. a
Fourth. The annual report of the
:ounty commissioners for the fiscal
rear 1908, has been submitted to us,
>ut the alleged Itemized statement of
he expenditures for the fiscal year
:onslsts of newspaper clippings conalnlng
the quarterly reports of the
lupervisor. And this report Is not In
jroper shape as a record, as the newsjaper
clippings will* be easily lost or
lestroyed, and the same Is Imperfect
n other respects, as It does not show
he total expenditures for the year, nor
loes It show how much was spent on
oads and bridges, how much on chainrang,
etc. We, therefore recommend
hat the supervisor forthwith substlute
for these newspaper clippings a
vrltten statement, Itemized, showing
he amounts spent during the past flssal
year for roads and bridges, chainrang,
poor house, outside poor, Jail,
:ourt house, county offices and all othsr
purposes.
Fifth. We thank your honor and
he solicitor for the courteous asslstince
rendered us In the discharge of
>ur official duties.
GENERAL SESSION8.
The last Issue of The Enquirer went
o press just before the court of gen
*ral sessions suspended f >r the afterwon
recei s. Following are addition- 1
il proceedings:
In the case of the State vs. J. C.
Wallace, charged with assault and
>attery with Intent to kill, the jury re- 1
urned a verdict of guilty of simple ^
ussault and the court Imposed a sen.ence
of $5 fine or five days In jail.
The fine was paid.
Wallace Jackson, charged with aslault
and battery with Intent to kill,
vas allowed to plead guilty of assault
md battery of a high and aggravated
jature, and was sentenced to pay a fine

he chalngang for three months.
In the case of John Parrott, Arthur (
lolmes and Clarence Holmes, charged j

This is the prosecution that was Initituted
by the grand Jury because of
he assault on Editor W D. Grist, of
he Yorkvllle Enquirer In the office of
he clerk of the court last August.
All the other sessions business havng
been disposed of, the court this
nornlng took up the case of the State
rs. Marshall Steele, charged with aslault
with intent to ravish. The proiec:itor
is a married woman from iAn:aster,
and the assault charged is aleged
to have occurred In Rock Hill 1
>n the ntght of February 6. The case
s of a highly sensational nature and 1
nuch Interest Is being manifested.
When The Enquirer went to press the
:ase had not been concluded.
HOW THE JURY ,3 DRAWN.
During his stay in Yorkvllle yesterlay,
Sheriff Wilkins of Cleveland couny,
N. C., was very much Interested In
he proceedings of the court of geniral
sessions, and was particularly
truck with the manner in which Juries
ire provided in the different cases.
"Up in my county," he said, "I pro'ide
all the Juries myself, except in i
apltal cases, jusi ueiure tuun wu- (
renes, I go out and notify thirty-six ?
nen, and have them ready to dispose ,
if cases as they come up. A defen- ?
lant has no right to object, unless he (
s charged with a capital crime, and ,
hen he can put Jurors on their voir i
lire or object to them for cause. ,
Sometimes when we are scarce of Ju- B
ors, we lock the court room doors and E
elect what we want without previous e
ervlce."
This arrangement struck Sheriff <
Jrown and the newspaper man as be- j
ng about as peculiar to them, as the t
South Carolina method was to the t
forth Carolina sheriff, and both Sher- r
(T Brown and the newspaper man took i
ileasure in discussing with Sheriff j
iVUkins the differences between the a
wo systems. t
The circumstances and developments c
f the conversation suggested that j
here are probably a good many read- <
rs of The Enquirer who are not aito- j
ether familiar with the processes by j
ihich jurors are provided in this r
tate. f
In the first place, the law requires v
he provision of a strong box with par- h
itions for general jurymen and for t
alesman, and the names of the Jury- a
len to serve during the ensuing
ear must be put In this box during n
he month of December. o
The auditor, treasurer and clerk of F
he court constitute the board of jury h
otnmissloners, and under the law all v
hree must be present during the prep- p
ration of the lists. They are re- a
uired to take all names from the reg- t
itratlon books and put into the box,
ne out of every three registered voprs.
In preparing this list, the comilssioners
are supposed to throw out b
he names of all without reputation ii
>r good moral character, and also the t
ames of all who, for any reason, are a
xempt from jury duty. There is h
uite a list of exemptions and voters n
ver 65 years of age can claim ex- s
mption by reason of their age. ?
In addition to the general list in- d
luding one out of every three quail- ti
ed voters in the general box, the r
ommissioners are required also to g
rovlde a list of not less than 100 nor j
lore than 500 for what is known as y
le five-mile box. These must live h
rithin five miles of the court house,
nd they are provided for the quick v
Illlng of the regular venires, when for
my reason the same are depleted bcow
the thirty-six names stipulated In
:he law.
The Jury box having been prepared
n December, the law requires that it
ye fastened with three locks of different
kinds, and that one key be held by
3ach of the commissioners, so that the
jox cannot be subsequently opened ex;ept
In the presence of all three.
Then in the spring, not less than ten,
lor more than twenty days before the
:onvenlng of court, the commissioners
jet together, open the box in public
md draw therefrom twelve grand Jurors
and thirty-six petit Jurors. The
grand Jurors, together with the six
holding over, serve for the ensuing
year and a separate venire of petit Jurors
must be drawn for each week of
the term, each drawing to take place
lot less than ten days nor more than
twenty days before the Jurors are
neeaea.
Upon the convening' of the session,
when a Jury Is needed, the names are
Jrawn from a box by a small boy,
supposed to be unable to read.
In order that there may be no semblance
of unfairness, the law contemplates
a thorough mixing up of the
lames before each drawing, whether
by the Jury commissioners In providing
a venire, or the small box In providing
a panel.
BETHEL PRESBYTERY.
Bethel presbytery met In the Presbyterian
church of Clover, Tuesday
ivenlng at 8 o'clock. The opening
sermon was preached by the last moderator
present. Rev. E. E Gillespie of
Forkvllle, on the text, Matt, xxvill, 20:
'And lo, I am with you all the days."
Rev. J. M. Holladay of Winnsboro was
Jlected moderator, and Rev. E. E. Gilespla
assistant clerk. The attendance
was unusually good. All the denominations
of Clover and many of the
people of the country manifested their
Interest In the proceedings of presbytery
by attending the services, several
times taxing the seating capacity ol
the church.
The reports from the churches were
very encouraging, showing an Increase
In membership and contributions most
Stratifying. The report on foreign missions
showed that the goal of $400,000,
set by the assembly's committee on
foreign missions naa Deen more man
reached, the total receipts for the year
ending March 31, being $412,156. The
First Presbyterian church of Yorkidlle
headed the list of churches in
:ontributions to this cause, having
fiven $1,771, an average of $4.40 per
nember to foreign missions, and of the
1,217 churches in the southern assembly
Is one of the sixty churches that
have reached the standard recommended
by the assembly of $4 per
member to this cause.
The report of the Thornwell orphanige
touched the hearts of all. Two
hundred and elsrhtv-flve fatherless
:hlldren have been enrolled during the
fear. Thirty three years ago this Institution
was founded and consisted ol
i single two story building and eight
little children. There are now twenty
buildings, thirty-four matrons and
teachers and an average attendance ol
150 fatherless children. No serious
sickness during the past year was reported
and there have been no deaths
imong the children for over five years.
Many improvements have been made,
luring the last year, and the material
equipment of the institution.
There were eight candidates for the
ministry reported and one licentiate,
is now under the care of Bethel presbytery.
Mr. W. D. Ratchford of Bullock's
Creek church was received as a
candidate at this meeting.
Presbytery has sustained a great
loss in the dismissal of Rev. J. K. Hall
lo King's Mountain presbytery. He has
been elected president of Westminster
school for boys, at Rutherfordton, N.
0. His pastorate at Bethesda will terminate
the first of June.
An interesting feature of this meeting
of presbytery was the celebration
)f the 400th anniversary of the birth
)f John Calvin. He was born at Noyon
n Plcardy, seventy miles northeast of
Paris, July 10, 1509. Three scholarly
iddresses were delivered as follows:
'Calvin and his times," by Rev. J. M.
Holladay, Wlnnsboro; "The Influence
it Calvin on Civil Liberty," by Prof.
1. W. Thomson, Rock Hill; and "Galdn
the Theologian," by Rev. W. T.
Hall, D. D., Columbia. All of these
iddresses were listened to with the
greatest interest.
Presbytery inaugurated for the en:lre
presbytery a missionary campaign
iuo the one nreviously arranged for
ifork county by the Presbyterlal Union
>f York county. The plan and topics
irrangred by the Presbyterlal Union
vere adopted by the presbytery and
ire as follows: During the summer
;ach church or group of churches
vhere two or more congregations can
>e reached by an appointment, will be
dslted by four speakers who will hold
l conference with the congregation for
i day discussing the following topics,
nch sneaker delivering two addresses:
' The Motives for Missionary Effort,"
The Relation of Home and Foreign
diss Ions," "The Extent and Needs of
he Heathen World," "The Providenlal
Preparation of the World for the
ecoption of the Gospel," "The Pecular
Responsibility of the Southern
Presbyterian Church," "The Importince
of Prayer and the Influence of
he Holy Spirit in the Evangelization
if the World," "The Layman's share
n the Advancement of the Kingdom,"
The Need of Man and Money in the
Svangellzation of the World and the
Jethods of Securing Them." Ar
angements have also been completed
or the holding of State Laymen's con-ention,
similar to the one recently
leld in Birmingham, in Clinton during
he month of May, probably the 17th
nd 18th.
The kind people of Cover of all delomlnations
received presbytery with
pen homes and hearts. The pastor
lev. H. J. Mills and Mr. J. J. Smith,
lis elder, made all present feel that it
ras a genuine pleasure to the good
eople of Clover to share the sincere
nd whole-soul hospitality so charac
eristic of them.
TO GROW CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
The Floral Society of the First Presyterian
church of Yorkvllle is lookig
forward with pleasurable anticipalon
of making Its next annual chrysnthemum
show, easily the best that
as been held, and to that end the
lembers are doing what they can to
tlmulate interest during the season
,'hen the most Important work is to be
one, which Is right now. As a contribution
to this end, The Enquirer is
equested to reproduce the Interview
iven out by Mrs. R. T. Stephenson, in
902, on chrysanthemum growing, and
re take pleasure in doing so as fol>wb:
"I am not able to compare the culttatlon
of the chrysanthemum with any
other flower," she said in answer to the
reporter's question, "for as a matter of
fact I have never given a great deal
of attention to anything but the stately
'mum.' But if it will be of any use
to you, it will be a pleasure to explain
the methods I pursue in the production
of the flowers that were exhibited at
the show.
"Early in the spring, about the first
of April," Mrs. Stephenson continued,
"the plot intended for the plants is
thoroughly spaded and worked over,
the soil being made soft and free from
lumps or stones, as well as grass roots.
I Ruppose nobody else would have the
same trouble to contend with that I
have had. I refer to a luxuriant
growth of wire grass. This must be
thoroughly worked out of the soil contiguous
to the young plant, or it will
i sap the strength of the flowers. The
chief end for which I work during the
first months Is a strong, hardy plant,
for the healthier the plant the better
the bloom.
"After the soil has been prepared, we
dig holes about a foot square and a
foot deep, and three feet apart, as
many holes as we have plants to put
out. At the bottom of each hole we
, put about a soadeful of well-rotted
manure from the cow lot, and cover
this with the soil. It is now ready for
the planting. Before putting the plant
down I always pour water into -the
hole, wetting the soil thoroughly, thus .
planting the flower in a paste of soil
and water. These tender shoots must
be watered each evening, for at least
a week, and be covered from early
morning until the sun is low. This
1 must be continued until the roots have
taken Arm hold and they are ready to
grow.
i "No, that Is not all yet; for the work
really continues until the plants are In
bloom. I watch them carefully all
! along. This is a pleasure, for I love
them. The grass must be kept out
i and water given every day during the
. summer months. Indeed, It is said it
is Impossible to give them too much
water during July and August. When
I the plant is about 10 or 12 Inches high
> I pinch out the top bud. This causes
the plant to branch. Now comes steady
watching and pruning. I decide just
1 how many blooms I wish a plant to
i have, leave just that number of
branches and pinch off all other
growth. This is not the work of a
day, but of the whole life of the plant,
for it is sumristng how they will per
stat in sending out shoot after shoot
The suckers from the roots are not allowed
to grow, tor they draw from the
strength of the plant. I never use any
i fertilizers save from the cow lot.
"The first of August I begin feeding
mine with the liquid manure, which Is
allowed to stand in the barrel about
two days before it is used. During
' August I feed about twice a week and
i during a part of September three times
a week. The disbudding begins about
the last week in August. I leave only
' one bud to a branch. I find, as a general
rule, the terminal bud more satis,
factory than the crown bud. When
the flower begins to show color, It is
best to stop feeding, or the petals will
burn. That was one of my serious
, troubles this year. I find some plants
need much feeding, some very little to
reach perfection."
Tne reporter tnanicea Mrs. mepnenson
for the clear and intelligent state>
ment, and remarked that maybe It had
not occurred to her that now since she
had given away her whole secret, she
might have more difficulty in carrying
I away so many prizes next year.
, "Maybe so," she replied smilingly,
"but you must remember that ex perl1
ence is worth a great deal in all things,
and although some one may surpass
i my productions next year, I promise
that they will have to be considerably
in advance of my finest specimens this
year. I believe I can do a great deal
better than I have done heretofore, and
I am certainly going to try."
"But is the net result worth the
' trouble and expense?" the reporter
suggested.
"The net result, no!" replied Mrs.
Stephenson; "but the pleasure experienced
in developing the growth of the
plants is. A successful flower grower
must be a genuine lover of flowers. I
believe firmly that flowers respond to
love just as human beings do, and if
one loves the chrysanthemum sufficiently
to be willing to give it all the
patience, vigilance and attention it requires,
there la no possibility of fail3

ing 10 develop u ui a. nigu ouuc u>
fectlon. If you do not believe there Is
full compensation in the pursuit of
this pleasure, Just learn to love chrysanthemums
and try to raise them."

Vaccination la tho Thinp.
Columbia Record, Wednesday: State
Health Officer C. F. Williams, who haa
made a thorough personal Investigation
into the smallpox situation at Yorkville,
said today that he regarded the
situation as now well in hand and all
danger of a further spread of the disease
as over. "Since, returning I have
Just gotten a report from there," said
he today, "in which the authorities say
there are now only three cases, with
no new cases in ten days, all the cases
being confined to the infected district"
Dr. Williams accounts for the particularly
virulent type of the disease in
Ynrkville. where there were six deaths
in thirteen cases, as lue entirely to the
fact that the patients had never been
vaccinated. In none of the cases In
which death occurred had the patient
ever been vaccinated.
