Straps and .facto. ? The supreme court of the United States will he appealed t<> by the authorities of the Dutch Reformed Church of America to relieve that body from reading the tedious will of the Rev. Van Bunschooten at every official meeting of the church corporation. It seems that the church seventy-five years ago accepted a legacy of $20,000 from Rev. Van Bunschooten, who made his gift conditional, requiring that his will be read at every session of the church officiary forever. The money hits long since been spent, but the duty of reading the irksome testament still hangs over the church. ? Shelby, X. C.. October 19: Judge James L. Webb, upon motion made in chambers has appointed Joseph C. Smith, secretary-treasurer of the Shelby Cotton mills, temporary receiver of the Buffalo Manufacturing company, a cotton mill located five miles east of Shelby at Stubbs. Mr. Smith has assumed charge of the property and will ascertain and report to the court the extent of the assets and liabilities. The liabilities are approximately $40.000. The plant is capitalized at $4.r>,000. It is said that the cost of the property is considerably in excess of the capitalization. The mill has been shut down for some time and will not be operated by the receiver, at least for the present. The officers are T. D. Laitimore and S. N Lattimore, president and secretary-treasurer respectively. ? The department of agriculture estimates the number of cattle in the world at 4 30.000.000 of which the United States has 70,000.000. being second of all countries. The world's number of sheep is 580.000.000 and we have 57.000.000 being third. Australia has 88.000.000. As hog growers, however, we are first, raising nearly 50.000,000 out of a total of less than 150.000.000. Iowa is our greatest pork state with 7,000,000 hogs, big and little: Illinois comes next with nearly 5,000,000: Missouri has nearly 3.500.000. while Ohio. Indiana, Texas, Kansas and Nebraska each have between two and three million. And hogs is hogs now. Of horses there are in existence 95.000.000 of which the United States has about 25.000.000. Of mules there are 7.500,000 of which we have one-half. The number of asses in the world Is between 8.000.000 and 9,000,000. The United States has but a small proportion. ? New York, October 19: It is understood here today that among the candidates for chief justice of the United States supreme court whom President Taft is considering is Associate Justice Bdward Douglas Whit*1. Justice White is being strongly urged for the place and President Taft is giving serious attention to the recommendation. Justice White was appointed to the supreme court from Louisiana and is a Democrat. While the president is considering both Senator Root and Justice White, he has not yet given up the idea of appointing Justice Hughes chief justice. Some time ago it seemed that Justice Hughes was to be appointed wnnour doubt; but the fact that he is seeking opinions both as to Justice White and Senator Root is taken to indicate that the president has not made up his mind absolutely. None of the supreme court appointments will be made until congress meets in December. ? Washington. October 19: The census for the state of Illinois, announcement of which is expected in two or three weeks, will show a decrease in the rural population, according to the prediction of the census officials, who likewise anticipate a falling off in the rural population of Indiana and Ohio, and possibly other middle western states, from the returns which will come in their alphabetical order. Reasons given for the decrease in the rural sections of Illinois, the showing of which is in prospect, are: Improvement in farm machinery. Wealth of the farmers. who. with the'r large holdings, do not care to divide them into small farms and who are sending their boys to the west to take up new lands In less settled regions. The natural "city drift" about which so much has been said, also is an element, but the experts think the true explanation lies in a combination of the reasons given above. ? Charlotte N. C.. October 19: In the presence of a distinguished company of Catholic prelates and clergy, Monsignor Diomede Falconio, D. D., apostolic delegate, today published the mandate of Pope Pius X and conferred it upon Belmont abbey, the first of its kind in the western hemisphere. An audience that overflowed J the betutiful abbey cathedral and swarmed about the extensive grounds) witnessed the elaborate ceremonies marking the occasion. Shortly before 9 o'clock the procession of ecclesiastical dignitaries, followed by Bishop Haid and Monsignor Falconio, formed in front of the monastery and | marched in solemn procession to the cathedral, where Monsignor Falconio celebrated pontifical high mass. Then came the reading of the papal bull erecting the cathedral abbey and finally the papal benediction. The elaborate musical programme, consisting of the Oregorian chants, was rendered by the abbey choir, augmented by the abbe> orchestra. At 1 o'clock the distinguished clergy were guests at a sumptuous banquet in the monastery refectory, and this evening they were entertained with a dramatic performance by the students of St. Mary's college, connected with the abbey. Numerous costly and magnificent gifts representing donors in two continents were received miring me nay. im.> ue ing the silver jubilee of the abbey ami its venerable abbot. Bishop Haiti. In addition to the apostolic delegate, among the dignitaries present were: Bishop C'orrigan. of Baltimore; representative of his eminence. Cardinal Gibbons. Bishop Northrop of Charleston. S. C.; Bishop Monaghan of Wilmington. Del.; Bishop Keiley of Savannah. (ia.: Bishop Van De Vyver, of Richmond. Va.: Bishop Keiley, of Florida: Bishop Mohr. t?f Florida: Bishop Borneman of Reading. Pa.: Bishop Decker, of Krie. Pa.: and several other priests from far and near. ? Savannah. Ga., October 19: An almost dead calm this afternoon and tonight marked the passage of the tropical hurricane to sea and bringing relief to the people of this city and vicinity. Reports tonight from the local weather bureau indicate that the storm has passed to sea between here and Charleston and that nothing more serious than high winds may he expected during the night and tomorrow. l.ate reports from the ocean resorts along the coast are to the effect that 110 loss of life has resulted from the hurricane. Property damage will also be less than first reported, but no estimate can as yet be made owing to the lack of communication with points along the coast. Throughout the storm territory today high winds prevailed but the rain had ceased and business, which had .. otuiidotill f,.r Iienrle two lavs, was generally resumed. The most serious phase of the situation was the ahsenee of definite news of several vessels at sea. including the tug Alexander Jones, with a erew of nine men, missing off the Florida roast. The revenue cutter Yamaeraw from Savannah lias been ordered to search for the missing vessel. News from Brunswick, St. Simons and Tyhee tonight indicates that the storm was the worst in many years. Init no loss of life resulted. Huge! waves swept over the sea walls in most places, flooding streets and the floors of houses and stores in the lower sections of the towns, hut it is stated that a conservative estimate will place the loss at these points at less than $200.000. The only points in Florida to he reached by telegraph tonight were Jacksonville and St. Augustine, hut the government wireless station at Tampa was again in working order late today. News from these points was to the effect that the gale had reached a velocity of more than 60 miles an hour across the entire Florida peninsula. Wireless messages from Tampa, the first definite news since that city was isolated from the world early yesterday morning stated that the property loss was comparatively slight and that Ito lives were lost in the storm. At Jacksonville the storm damage was confined to the sinking of sever barges and small craft and mill property. There is no communicate yet with the interior of Florida ai along the eastern coast south of { Augustine. It is said that it may I several days before the telegraph 1 in can be restored to these sections. ?he \torhvillc (fnquirrr. Entered at the Postofflce In Yorkvll as Mail Matter of the Second Clas: YORKVILLE, S. C.t FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21. 1910. Wellman and his cat came hack. The muckraker has made many little grafter tremble in his hoots. Speaker Cannon will he in tl "smooth bore" class in the next coi press. It is a pood bet that none of the dii pensary prafters will he convicted j the Chester term of court. It is beginning to look like the Ne York Republicans are not real certa whether Teddy is helping or hurtir them. Mr. Roosevelt's rough riding of tl Republican Old Guard of Nc?? Yoi makes Democratic success look su in that state. Failing to get a clean sweep at tl cotton fields, the West Indian hurr cane did not affect prices as much i it might have done otherwise. Not discouraged by the disaster thj befell his attempt to cross the ocea in a dirigible balloon, Walter Wellms says he is going to construct anoth< balloon and have another try. Anyhow, it is gratifying to kno that Walter Wellman and his eompat ions were not drowned. Holding the lives as lightly as they do, they ma go down yet; but they really deser\ to succeed in a trip across the Atlant first. Governor Ansel ordered the closin of the Columbia dispensaries for a hour last Wednesday in order that tt employes might attend the revival sei vices; but as to whether the opera tives were actually required to atten does not appear. The Spartanburg Herald's editoria one day last week were punk, but Ed tor Hearon candidly admitted ths they were written before the Dail Mail arrived.?Anderson Daily Mail. Just as was to have been expectei The Mail is entirely satisfied with tf explanation. Those census enumerators out wes who have swelled the population ( certain cities far beyond all propoi tion, seem not to realize that th present administration wants to d things differently from the way the were done formerly. The gathering of Dynamite Cald well's corn crop was commenced lai Tuesday, hut was not completed dui ing the day; but from such estimat< as could he gotten out of John Won and other members of the committe the 200 bushels that were talked ( some time ago have dwindled some what. Wellman attributes his trouble to hi "equilibrator," which hung down froi his balloon by a steel cable and wa supposed to keep the airship stead: The thing seems to have been tosse by the waves with the result that th balloon was almost jerked to piece But somehow it seems to us that if horl nnt Iu-imi fur that "eouilibrator pulling back, the whole business migl have been lost entirely. The courts of New York are said t be at a loss to know what to do wit th?- ruffian, who used an innocent bo bystander as a shield for a bullet tire at him by another ruffian, becaus there is no precedent to be found. Hoi It. \V. Memminger would probably ar rive at a conclusion in the case i about three minutes and his conclusio would stand. When a German cruiser that ha been visiting Charleston for seven days got ready to sail for the West In dies, the captain was notified of th coming of the West Indian hurrican up the coast and was advised to re main in port. Remarking, howeve that he was satisfied that his ship wa strong enough to weather any stori and that the blow would be of educa tioiial value to the cadets aboard, h stood out to sea and took his inedi cine. His ship has not since bee heard from, but the presumption i that it is all right. There is a strange and gratin llavor about the story of that Claren don negro, who is in jail awaiting th result of injuries lie has indicted on negro convict. It may be true that th convict was within his rights roamiii about the country, clothed in stripe and carrying a gun; but that uuntlu negro or anybody else for that matte should shoot him under tin- circum stances is not surprising. To our wa of thinking a negro wearing stripe ami currying a mm is about as dan gerous a menace as a mad dog wold be. Why the negro who did the shoot ing should be held for murder und< the circumstances, we cannot under stand. The story does not look right. It will be about this time next yea before cotton really comes to its owi according to our way of thinkin) Along with the short crops and hig prices, the public has been trying t wear its old clothes as much as pus sible, and as the result the consump tiou has been curtailed. As the resul ol' curtailed consumption, the mill have been seeing a hard time. Hu this situation cannot last always, an won't. Tliere are really no more mill than there ought to be?no in ore tha enough to take care of even a tiftcc million bah- crop, without any unseem ly rush, and perhaps with but littl night work. The public has abon worn its old clothes to a frazzle, an will soi.n be compelled to have nmr? When the demand starts up right, th al mills will know how to get such prices or as they think they should have, and that will make still stronger demand ;t. for raw cotton. Things are hound t< he regulate themselves after a while, es The bringing up of the subject of faith cure in the Episcopal convcntioi in Cincinnati has been the occasior for more or less flippant comment it many of the newspapers. The habil of most of the newspapers to attempt ' to discuss anything and everything : whether they know about it or not, i: well known, and that most secular papers should be very ignorant of a sub^ ject like this is natural. The most common idea of the faith cure is th? s very material one, to the effect tha C people would essay by a little prayei f to have the Almighty do whatsoevei ' they would ask, from the healing ol the sick to the location of gold mines or the giving of inside information as to future markets. People who have this understanding of the matter arc naturally skeptical, as they should lie It is not in them to be anything else But nevertheless, there is such a thing as healing by prayer, as well as the achievement of any oiher ends. The a full formula may be obtained from the various books of the New Testament; but in that formula will not be found ic any suggestion whereby the power car a- be used for the selfish worldly advantage, either of those who invoke the healing power or those for whom thai s- power may be invoked. However at while that power can be exercised today just as effectively as it has ever been exercised, and while there art w people in all churches, and in no church in at all who have acquired it by using the necessary means, no church as a church, has yet reached the point where it can do such things by means le of a mere ritual, and there is no aurk thority in the Scriptures or elsewhere !'e that promises any church will ever reach such a point. One of the greatest difficulties in the way of a |e proper understanding of this whole subject, will probably be explained In ls Acts vlii, 16 to 24. There are too many Simons in the world, who would buy the gift of God with money?one means by which that Rift can certainly not 1,1 he had. in m ?r Corn Raising. The business of corn raisins has been greatly stimulated throughout South w Carolina during the past few years, and although York county has shown ir commendable progress, she does not occupy the place, with reference to the / balance of the state, that she should IC occupy or that she could occupy. It is not to be denied that York county has taken great strides along lg this line as along other lines of agricultural development. As a matter of 16 fact we are ready to believe that taken as a whole, York leads all the counties of the state; but at the same time we do not believe York has done anything like what she ought to do or can do. There are a number of real firstIs j_ class farmers in the county, who are it quietly plugging away trying to do !>' better this year than they did last year, and better next year than they did this year, but none of them are Ie doing all they know how to do, much less all that can be done, and there is need for the stimulation of more enthusiasm such as the whole matter dcserves. We have in the county the Corn ie Growers' association and the Boys' lo Corn club, and behind these organiza* tions a whole population that can be wonderfully benefited by such progress as they might make. The one I- thins necessary now is for all the peopie to take hold and see to it that the man who makes progress in corn production?who produces more corn and d better corn?shall receive the recognise. tion that is his due as a benefactor to >f his fellowmen. ' The work of the Boys' Corn club this year has been hampered somewhat, because the general public has not is shown as much interest as it should n show. This should not be the case is hereafter. There must be general or>' ganized effort and the public must d make contributions for suitable prizes, ie and proper awards of merit, s. Although there are many, maybe, who do not realize the fact, old methods have been relegated, and the idea lt of plan ing for s- ed corn that has no other . ^commendation than that some of it will probably reproduce itself will ? soon be dead. Hereafter, the quality h of seed will become a most important y factor and after that fertilization and d ...lti.-nii,.,, .. ill ruoali'u mni-H nttpntion ie than heretofore. Corn can and must he 1- the basis of progress the like of which this country has never seen, and the 11 way is through the Improved cultivan tion of improved seed. The men and women who show the way in this matter are the men and d women who are going to win the gratll itude and applause of the whole coun" try. e . ie Great Railway Strike In France.? - On October 11, the employes of the r, Northern railroad and the Western ' railroad in France went out on a strike, completely tying up northern and n western France, and almost isolating - Paris. The Western road is owned by ie the state. About 80,000 men went out the first day on the two roads, and these were joined daily by others. It n was expected at lirst that the employes is of the other roads of the nation would join them, and on the following day the men of one other railroad and of D.il.u.nv r,.o,l v\*, 11 f Milt r;iis x ing the number of strikers to over 100,000. The two latter strikes completely tied up Paris, cutting off its food sup' ply and stopping to a great extent the a domestic traffic of the city. Then the e advantage of having the river Seine, which in January threatened to deK stro.v the city, became apparent. Kind's ing on October 13 that there was only .r eight days' food supply in the city, and no way to get it through the regular ' channels, the government at once took " steps to have food transported up the y ri\er from the sea coast. Owing to s their inability to ship coal, the coal mines of the nation closed down, throwing about 4,.100 employes temd porarily out of work. <?n October 13, . the government began its undertaking of putting down the strike. Five of the most influential strike leaders were ar rested and imprisoned. As a result of this and other measures put in force by the government, the strike situation at once began to improve. Mobs are .r feared, but 10,0(10 troops are on duty in i Paris, and as soon as bodies of men collect they are charged by the troops *' and dispersed. II , ^ , ? ?Hreenville.

Annual cleaning up days are becoming popular in many of the larger cities and in smaller towns throughout the south, and they are a good idea. The effects of the West Indian hurricane were only slightly felt In this , locality. There was a pretty stiff breeze accompanied by rain Tuesday and Wednesday; but no damage of any kind is reported. It is a common thing after one of these storms for people to bring in specimens of various kinds of sea birds picked up about through the country; but up to this time none have been reported. A pamphlet containing information which should be of the greatest interest and practical benefit to the farmers of the south and which may be had for the asking, has just been issued by the Land and Industrial department of the Southern railway. The pamphlet treats of "The Use of Lime on Land," and tells of the great benefits to be derived in this way. Quotations are given from agricultural authorities and from bulletins issued by the United States department of agriculture and various state departments, telling on what kind of land lime should he used, for what crops It will bring the best results, and how it should be applied. For improving sour soils such as are found in many parts of the south, agricultural authorities agree that there is nothing so beneficial as lime since with the aid of leguminous plants it enables the soil to draw from the atmosphere the nitrogen so necessary as plant food. The large deposits of lime in the various southern states make the use of lime for agricultural purposes inexpensive. A copy of the pamphlet on "The Use of Lime on Land" may be secured by addressing a request to M. V. Richards, Lapd and Industrial Agent. Southern Railway company, Washington, D.

From the way Manager Johnson is starting out. it looks like he is just going to have one good show after another. ? The weather and possibly the decline in price, has seriously interfered with the sale of cotton this week. The receipts have been lighter than for each of the several weeks previous. ? Augusta J. Evans' famous novel "St. Elmo" has long been one of the most widely read books, the incidents of which are laid in the south. There are few who are unacquainted with this powerful delineation of a most fascinating character and this interest lies not alone in the south hut in the northern cities as well. A recent inquiry at half a dozen of the largest of the New York Public Library Hranches, developed the fact that a copy of St. Elmo is rarely upon the shelves for more than a day at a time, although each library possesses from three to a dozen copies of the book. Not even the works of Dickens or Scott are more widely read nor have those masters of English literature given to the world a more intensely human character study than that of St. Elmo Murray whose early disillusionment of his fiancee and the beloved chum of his boyhood induce a reaction from his own nobility of character to produce a man little short id' a fiend in human form I lis regeneration and restoration to bis own better self is accomplished through the Influence of the pure and unspoiled orphan Edna Earl. It is not without misgiving that Neil Twoinex approached the ditlicult task of condensing for dramatic use the crowded incidents of the novel, but he has succeeded in presenting a play possessing the literary (tuality of ihe novel anil the ailileil value of rapidity of action with no expense of sacrifice of local color or the indefinable charm of tlie book.

WELLMAN IN NEW YORK. Men Who Started Across Atlantic Te Story of Their Trip. New York, Oet. 19.?Walter Wei man and his live companions wer landed here this afternoon by tli steamship Trent, which picked thei up at sea after they had abandone their dirigible balloon America an failed in the tirst attempt ever mad to cross tlie Atlantic through the ai A bruised right hand which Wellma carried in a sling was the only phys cal injury that resulted from the long voyage of approximately 90 miles and a rescue the like of whic is unknown to all history. None of the aeronauts expressed r< gret for the loss of the America. Tlu agreed that it had served its purpos and taught Its lesson. All stand read to renew the attempt as soon as Wei man and his engineers find a way I ' ,u'- aiHO.iiiHmu ihnt hronirl their first trip to its thrilling end la: Tuesday morning, 400 miles soutl east of Sandy Hook. Standing on the deck of the Trer Wellman made this statei ent: "We thought we could not get alon without the equilibrator. Now we tin we could not get along with it. Or plans for the future are indefinite ur til we find something that will do whi we thought the equilibrator woul do." "The "equilibrator," to which Wei man attributes the failure of his voj age, was the series of tanks contair ing gasoline, which floated in the ws ter, attached to the airship by a lor rope. The direct cause for abandoning th America was the exhaustion of th supply of gasoline, which had to t thrown out to save the ship. When th crew abandoned the ship only enoug was left to last about 24 hours. The other members of the Amer ca's crew said they felt as well ? ever, and they looked it. They are: Melvin Vanlman, the engineer; . Murray Simmons, the navigator; J. J Irwin, the wireless operator, and A bert T. Loud and John Auburt, th air sailors. There was also the gray kittei which was taken in charge after th flight by Mr. Vanlman and christene Trent. The Trent was forced to anchor o Sandy Hook and there she remaine until early in the afternoon befor the fog lifted enough to make it saf * t??\ tho Horhnr lur litre IU mine uf hid mui . Meanwhile a party of those nearei and dearest to the shipwrecked aerc nauts had taken a tug and gone as fa as the quarantine station to mei them. In the party were Mrs. Well man, Mrs. Vaniman, Mrs. Leroy Chair berlain, Wellman's married daughte and his two unmarried daughter and Mrs. Sarah Loud, mother of Mr Vaniman and of Albert T. Loud. The had a long wait at quarantine and was not until 4.15 that Wellman d? scended the companionway from th steamer to the deck of the tug. With tears in her eyes Mrs. Well man embraced her husband and kiss ed him on both cheeks. The aged Mr, Loud stood weeping, with one arr around the neck of her son and th other about her son-in-law, while Mr Vaniman, also in tears of Joy, hun on her husband's arm. It was the Morse lamp winking il message through the darkness tha just preceded the dawn of Tuesda morning and not the wireless tha first attracted the attention of thos on board the Royal Mail steame Trent to the distressed airship. Stan ley Angel, an ordinary seaman of 1 years, and George Sangster, an abl seaman, had the early morning watel Angel saw ahead of him, high up i the northeast, a faint light. "At first, said the boy in narrating his experi ence tonight. "I thought it was th morning star. Then I saw two fair red lights beside the white one an next made out a dark blur agaim the sky. The white light kept a-wink ing and then I knew that it was signal and reported it to G. J. Fitz gerald, the fourth officer, in charge c the watch." Fitzgerald notified W. H. Lanisor the chief officer. By this time th outline of the airship had been mad out against the sky and Lanfson call ed Captain Down out of his berth. "Help, help" was the message th white light on the America was slg nailing to the steamer, "When I came on deck," said Cap tain Down, "the airship was plainl visible. In the light of the full moo she looked enormous, hanging low i the northeast and close at hand. I reply to our signals she told us he name and that she was In distress an asked us to stand by." Then the wireless was called int use and between Louis M. Ginsberf operator on the Trent, and Jack b Irwin, the operator in the lifeboa suspended below the gas chamber o the America, passed a series of mes sages that will stand in history as th first wireless communication betwee: a ship at sea and a ship in the air. "At this time," said Captain Dowi of the Trent, "we were in speakin distance of the America. She wa only 12 feet above our forestays air moving about 12 knots an hour. W kept beneath her with great difllcultj for she swung two and fro in the ai currents and sometimes we wer forced to go full speed astern so a not to lose her. "Then," continued Captain Down "the crew of the airship began trail ing wire ropes. Lanison, our chief of fleer, grabbed one and held on unti the skin was rubbed off his hands an< he was lifted from his feet and nearl; dragged overboard. After half ai hour of this we decided that thi method of rescue was hopeless am much too risky. So Wellman asked u to keep close while he and his crev let down their lifeboat, saying hi trusted to us to pick them up. We go two boats ready, and stationed mei along the sides with lifebuoys. I sig nailed "all ready,' and Wellman lowered his airship until the lifeboat sus pended underneath was within 6 fee of the water. The trailer, composed o tanks of gasoline and weighing thiut; hundredweight, was the great dange and after the boat was launched thi struck her and stove a hole In thi side about G inches in diameter bu above the water line. "When Wellman dropped his life boat it struck the sea broadside bu quickly righted itself. I went ful speed ahead and had considerable dif Acuity in picking up the boat. Mr Wellman injured his hand in trying t< catch one of our ropes. "The last 1 saw of the airship shi was 15 or 20 miles away with one en< in the water.
