Scraps and /acts. ? Kansas City, Mo., November 2: " Millions of people believe that President Taft is as busy as a bee carrying Roosevelt's policies out?on a stretcher." said Senator Thos. P. Gore, in an address at a Democratic meeting tonight. He predicted victory for the Democratic partv in the coming elections. "The ea^ looks to the west for gold and grain. The west looks to the east for its sunrises, its presidents and its panics. The highest proof of wisdom of the three wise men of the Bible is that they came out of the east." ? New York. November 1: Officers today captured S. Auki. a demented Japanese, whose father is a wealthy member of the Japanese parliament. Auki escaped from E. J. Cassidy. who onnointed bv the United States government to accompany him from New York city to Japan. He and Cassidy had a drawing room of a Southern Pacific train. Auki escaped from the train yesterday between Sparks and Lawton. Auki is an engineer. While traveling in Switzerland. he became imbued with the idea that Lake Geneva could be made to develop tremendous water power without ruining the beauty of the. ! .ke. He came to the United States and attempted to gain an audience with President Taft. Then he went to New York and was confined in a hospital for some time with brain fever. The fever left him deranged. ? Chicago. November 2: Chas. E. Erbstein, one of the attorneys for Lee O'Neill Browne, who was recently acquitted of a charge of bribing State Representative Charles A. White to vote for William Lorimer for United States senator, was indicted today, charged with corrupting a member of the grand jury which cleared Browne. The bribery is alleged to have figured in the verdict of not guilty. Among the witnesses for the state were three ' state representatives, who asserted on 1 the stand that they had received $1,000 each for their votes for Lorimer. Immediately the case went against the prosecution. State's Attorney Wayman began an investigation of numerous rumors concerning attempts at tampering with veniremen. A week ago he got a clue which led to McCutchen. He and Stacey, it is said, disgruntted at the small sum which they say they ' received, told of receiving $250 from Erbstein. Erbstein denies the charge and alleges persecution. ? A man's constitutional rights are not necessarily violated by a jury ' which is trying him on a charge of ; murder, being allowed to separate and to read newspapers during the trial. It was so held last Monday by the supreme court of the United States. The court also held similarly in regard to the refusal of a judge to send a jury out of the court room during 1 arguments on the admission of evi- i J l-? ii InLl deliverance of Cuba." Continuing, he : said: "Now I will tell you for the . first time the name of the man who blew up the Maine. He is. or was. Jose Zavaldo. He was electrician at Morro Castle. It was he who threw | the switch that set off the powerful mine that destroyed that ship ami sent c 207 lives into eternity in a flash. ? Zavaldo was afterward shot by order , of General Blanco." ? The government's finances took a ' downward twist during the last three 1 days of October and tricked the ex- l perts who had predicted a surplus for the month and hoped for an even break at the worst. Kxclusive of the 1 Panama canal charges, the receipts i for the month were $f>5.200.441. anil , the expenditures were J5S.560.323. which left a deficit in ordinary opera- ' tion of J3.293.HS2. Add to that sum 1 the month's cost of thi work on the ( canal and J5.29a.ftS3 stands on the . wrong side of the ledger. The close of September had shown a total sur- ' plus of more than Jl.4aft.afta and it 1 was the first time in the present fiscal j year that the government took iti more than if paid out. While the op- ' erations of the month bring the total ' treasury deficit for the fiscal year to more than J21.0ft0.00ft and the close of September saw it down to $15,000.ftftft. the situation is nut considered 1 unusual. Purring all unusual expen- i ditures. such as for tl.? Panama canal , and payments mi the public debt, the month's operations show a deficit of ' $13,000,000 as against $23,000,000 a . aence. r unntrnuurc mr tum i miu . down the rule that the act of requiring the accused to put on a coat alleged to have been worn when the crime charged was committed, did not amount to "requiring the prisoner to ' testify against himself." These points ? were made in the decision of the court t in refusing to interfere with the sentence of life imprisonment imposed by the Federal circuit court of Western Washington upon James H. Holt on a . charge of having murdered Henry E. , Johnson in Fort Worden barracks, Washington. In announcing the opin- i ion of the court. Justice Holmes said < that the trial judge had gone to the ltmit in the exercise of his discretion during the trial, but that he had committed no reversible error. ? Chicago society women took up the < cause of striking garment makers this j week and brought about an unusual situation. The society women, all of ! them members of various social clubs had pledged their sympathy and actual support to the garment makers, and participated in a big demonstration, ' marching to and around garment fac- ' tories, blowing horns, beating pans and , beckoning to the workmen to come out and go on strike. The club women 1 were dressed as garment workers. The police thinking that it was just an ordinary crowd of strikers wen* among the people and used their clubs. They 1 claimed to have used their clubs only j on the men; but several women were ( also struck. Several hundred women were rounded up and taken to the po- 1 lice court, and when the club women 1 produced their engraved calling cards, showing that they were the daughters of the most prominent business men of the city, there was not a little conster nation. The Judge soon began to see that after all their offense was not j nearly as great as had been supposed, and they were promptly discharged. ' Many of the women were very indig- i nant at the way they had been treated, holding that they ha? not done anything to warrant arrest. ? Washington. November 1: Capt. ' Robert E. Peary, the Artie explorer, > returns to active duty in the navy de- partment on November 9. as engineer , expert for the department of justice in cases before the couit of claims ! involving construction work for the < naval bureau of yards and docks. This work was the explorer's choice among several places offered him by Acting Secretary of the Navy Win- < throp from which to make a selec- ] tion. Peary would havo preferred, it is said, to have been assigned to duty ' at the naval library to write of his 1 travels in the frozen north. The ex- , plorer has been on leave of absence j from the department for about ten years, during which time he has been engaged in Arctic exploration. Recently his last extension of leave expired about the time he was promoted to the rank of captain as the result of the death of a senior officer. A 1 bill is now pending in congress to , make Peaty a rear-admiral as a mark of recognition for his po^ar ex- ' plorations. There ure fifteen claim ' cases pending: against the navy depart- < ment. most of them in connection . with the construction of dry docks for the government. Peary's work will ' consist of giving the government law- ) yers expert advice as to the value of engineering work and the like. ? Kansas City. November 2: Lecturing at St. George's church hero last 1 night Colonel Jasper Ewing Brady. < one of the four officers sent by the | government to investigate the destruction of the battleship Maine in Havanna harbor, February 15, 1S98. de- i ciared the mine .which destroyed the j battleship was placed by the Cubans iti order to bring war with Spain and the deliverance of Cuba. He further ( asserted that the information had i been sent to the president and the , secretary of war. "When I went to investigate the disaster with three other officers," Colonel Brady said, "there were three theories concern- ( ing the origin of the disaster?that the explosion was caused from the outside by agents of Spain, that it was ' caused from the inside and that the t Maine was anchored over a mine pre- j pared by the Cubans. We were able to inform the president and secretary ' of war that the last theory was the 1 most consistent with the facts. This ! leads to the conclusion thai the Maine . was blown up by the Cubans in order t.i brine- ?>n war with Snain and the ' year asn. In the face of the growing receipts, which now total more than $225,000,000 for this year, treasury oftieials affect to be satisfied with the showing of the month and expect a gradual improvement from now on. Twenty-two new national banks came into existence in October with the total capitalization of $2,500,000. The majority were small banks with a capital of $50,000 or less. The total national bank circulation is now $724.S74.30S. an increase of about $4,000.000 over last month. The total cash in ;he treasuiy at the close of the month's business was $1,759,673,952. an increase of $9,000,000. iTiif ^Inrkrillr (Bnnuirrr. ~ - -i/ * - Entered at the Postofflce In Yorkvllle as Mail Matter of the Second Class. YORKVILLE, S. C.: FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1910. The coming corn show in Columbia, means great things for South Carolina's agricultural future. Mr. Roosevelt is sending out circular letters in New York state begging Tor campaign contributions. It looks like the Tammany tiger will devour the mighty hunter next Tuesday in New York state. That boy who raised 228 bushels of corn on an acre, will take an honorable place in the history of the state. Mr. Taft will not say it out loud, but he will probably be "dee-lighted" if Mr. Roosevelt gets defeated in New Vork next Tuesday. If the New York express companies charge like ours they can very well afford to allow the increase of wages hat is being demanded by their employes. President C. S. Parrett of the Farmers' Union, strongly recommends the idoption of the parcels post system 'or the benefit of rural communities. A bountiful corn crop only furnishes mother reason why there should be a bountiful small grain crop, for there is nothing like keeping up the good work. Let every man who claims to be a Democrat vote in next Tuesday's general election. There is no opposition it is true; but this is the real election md the vote should be full. The principal requirements of success on the farm are brains and labor. The old time idea that agricultural progress is dependent solely on brute force has been entirely discredited. There has been a time in this country when bitier cold weather brought a great deal of distress; but the principal effect now-a-days is to make folks go to the stores and buy things they need. We would like to see about 500 othJr York county boys go in to beat the orn club boys who raised prize acres his year. There is good reason to believe all the boys who had prize acres this year will stick. It will be very gratifying to see South Carolina ship corn out of the state instead of shipping it in; but it would be still more gratifying if instead of shipping the corn out of the state, it could be fed to South Carolina 3tock. Charleston, which has had a slogan contest on for some time past, has at ast adopted this: "Charleston-Imanrt _ TTvnnrt - Coo nnrt _Phor1f>ctnn ' Puh 1 /VI i. ~ Ija | r\Jl l " v ct | " 'i i -vi?o? ivgvuii. aiuh . Rah! Rah! Tiger!" That's all right, [ specially since it had begun to look like they were going to make it, ' 'Mumm's' the word." The attendance of the state fair this rear was very large, larger even than ast year when President Taft was one if the exhibits. The greatest feature is usual, was the opportunity afforded ror the meeting of people from differ?nt parts of the state. That there was i good crop of "Rubes" and that the ane racks and popcorn stands did a ?ood business, goes without saying. The idea that a juror who is sworn to be guided by the law and the evilence should allow his verdict to be influenced 1?y friendship for the parties :o the case or their lawyers is an exremelv dangerous one; but sometimes t has its effect. When serving on juries, sure enough men forget every ither consideration than a set determination to discharge their duty regardless of circumstances. The late Captain W. I.. Rodde.v used o say that a man could make an honest living on a farm with less intelligence and less work than anywhere lse on earth, and he was correct; but le diil not stop there. He went on to irgue that there was as much opportunity for a man who had it in him, 0 get Independently rich on a farm is there was anywhere else. Captain Roihley, as is generally conceded, was 1 success in everything he undertook mil knew what he was talking about. It is said that the administration frowned upon the white Republican invention in Columbia because Pook r Washington anil other prominent legroes gave it to be understood that iny effort to put the negro out of the Republican party in the south would >e met by a transfer of the allegiance if negroes to the Democratic party in the north. Just how that would vork we do not fully understand: but ve have tin idea that if it should ho ome an established fact that the Democratic party of the north were leriving its strength from negroes, here w ill be some less enthusiasm for :he Democratic party in the south. *ut in whatever view of the matter, t is :i little touch that the polities >f the southern whites must forever >o dominated hy noKmes. It would he interesting to know the esult of the investigation of that out age hv the militia iit Salley last sum ner in knocking an unoffending negro lown with ;i lump of coal, (lovenior \nsel ordered an investigation ttt once, and that sounded good; but if there has been any investigation, the public has not been advised. When the information of the outrage first came out, people who are more or less familiar with this kind of thing winked the other eye and said nothing. They could not understand how an honest investigation could fail to disclose all the facts under the circumstances: but they really did not expect anything to be done, any more than when a store was robbed of a lot of shoes and other articles on the way to King's Mountain battleground a year ago. At that time a great many people were led to reason that if the purpose of the militia he to protect life and property, at least ordinary discipline should be maintained. The people of South Carolina have a rignt to Know someining aoom these things, and the result of the investigation of this alleged outrage at Salley would he peseuliarly interesting. Is it possible to organize a white Republican party in South Carolina? We are a bit doubtful about the proposition. Unless our estimate is badly at fault, there is not more than one man out of ten in South Carolina who has a clear understanding of what either party stands for. There are many political leaders who do not know any difference between the parties other than the names. They do know that hundreds call themselves Democrats where one calls himself a Republican. They feel that about all the people who are agitating for a Republican party are actuated more by a desire for office and authority than by any other consideration; but they do not seem to realize that except for the hope of office and authority there would not be anybody to keep the Democratic party alive either. It is undoubtedly to the interest of the great mass of busy people who hold the state together to have two fairly evenly balanced parties so one can make the other do the square thing?so that when one becomes over-bearing and corrupt, the other can bring it to time; but South Carolinians have been used to one party for so long that they will hardly be brought at this late day to see the J desirability of dividing. Maybe there is not much use anyway. The people of the state very frequently divide on men and measures as It is now, and there is argument against, as well as for the proposition that party lines should be more sharply defined. Cattle Raising. As far back as twenty years ago, when The Enquirer used to from time to time argue that a more prosperous future could be worked out for this section through cattle raising than by any other means, some would smile skeptically at what they considered the impracticability of the idea and others would think seriously and do nothing, while a few would make more or less sporadic experiments, get scared and quit not altogether satisfied whether it would not have been better to have gone on. Within the past few years there has been a very material advance of the more intelligent sentiment on this subject, and we are beginning to hope that at last this country is on the verge of drifting into the cattle industry. It is not to be claimed that there has been any really ambitious progress along this line as yet, for there has not been; hut people who have experimented more or less, have seen encouragments here and there and the sentiment is undoubtedly undergoing a change. One of the troubles why progress has been slow, is that the people who formerly started into the farming business pursuing a policy under which they had to buy corn to feed to mules to raise cotton could not see where there would be any profit in cows fed on bought corn. They were right. All who used to buy corn with which to feed mules to raise cotton, and who arc still in business, found the mistake of that policy, and those who did not find the mistake are not now in the same business. They are either dead or doing: something: else. Of course no one is going to be silly enough to suggest that beef cattle can be most profitably raised on bought provender. It is contrary to all established economic laws and to common sense; but since it has been demonstrated as a business proposition that the man of sufficient means and fairly good capacity for management can buy full grown cattle at a price that will give the man who raised them a profit, bring them several hundred miles by freight, feed them on cotton seed meal and hulls for ninety days and sell them at figures that will leave their manure clear above all expenses, does it not seem that there would be something in the proposition of raising the cattle at home on pasturage and fattening them on home raised provender that can be had at a much less cost than cotton seed meal and hulls? As rare as was such a sight twenty years ago, it is not an uncommon thing in this county now-a-davs to run upon a pasture full of sleek-blooded cattle, who have had nothing through the summer but grass and a little salt; but whose owner is provided with large quantities of millet, peavine or sorghum hay to take them through the winter. We do not mean to say that this sight is any too common; but it is not as uncommon as it used to be. We feel perfectly satisfied that within the next ten years this country is going to be full of cattle. Some of the reasons for this assurance have been suggested in the foregoing, and the lists might be lengthened very materially without much effort, but what would please us most would be that the time be anticipated as much as possible. There is no doubt that cattle raising is the thing and the best interest of the country requires that the soner the business is put under full headway the better for all concerned. The Military Officer and the Civilian.?The Columbia State has made several pointed inquiries as to the expenditure of money appropriated for the state militia, these inquiries tending to show that the money has been wasted, to use no harsher terms. The Yorkville Enquirer scores a good point when it enquires, sarcastically, if the State really thinks a civilian has any right to know what becomes of the money appropriated for the militia. The average officer of the militia? particularly the average officer of high rank?thinks the civilian is a fool and an interloper when he begins to dis cuss militia attairs. ine mimia 01ficer's contempt for the civilian is its preat if not greater than his contempt for the enlisted man.?Anderson Daily Mail. ? Columbia, November II: An estimate issued by the department of aericulture today places the corn crop of the state for this year at 4!?.740.<?oo bushels or an approximate increase of 1:1.000,000 bushels. The crop last year was s,000,000 more than in 190N. This means that South Carolina will ship corn out of the state. LOCAL AFFAIRS, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS Sharon Camp, \V.

Feemster of McConnells ville No. 1, has brought the largest sweet potato that has been reported so far this season. It is a white yam and weighs 6J pounds. Mr. T. M. Ferguson, the wellknown cattle dealer, says he can't understand why any man should take cold feet in the case of a milch cow trade. The value is always there, he says, and there is no chance to lose because milk cows are as easy to dispose of at a fair price as is good cotton. There has been some let up in the activity of the local cotton market recently; but it is not altogether because of the slight weakening in prices. The people have other work to do in the shape of putting in small grain, of which they are sowing more than usual. The farmers are not worrying about the present price of cotton as they once did, because of the large number who do not have to sell until they get ready. There should be a special corn prize next year for the largest yield on an acre, provided it is not less than a hundred bushels. Let the prizes for the first, second and third best yields stand, and give a prize for a yield of not less than a hundred bushels. . If there be but one competitor in the hundred bushel class, let him have the first and second prizes; but if nobody makes a hundred bushels, let the hundred bushel prize stand until somebody wins it. "Yes, let 'em knock all they want to," said one of the farmers who went into the Creamery association. "Of course, we are going to make a success of the creamery. Among the subscribers there are at least fifty who are able to milk from two to four cows each and quite a number who are able to milk a dozen or more each. What is more, they are going to keep the cows and milk them. I am going to milk four cows for the present and take on four more as soon as I can complete my arrangements. It is an easy matter to raise one pig with each cow, feeding the pigs principally on skim milk, and I propose to have the full number of pigs. So far as the knockers are concerned, I don't care anything about them; but just wait about two or three months until the business has had opportunity to show what It will do and see then if you can find anybody who will own to having been a knocker." Mr. John E. Carroll, former superintendent of education, thinks that to get rid of double entries on the books of the auditor, there should be legislation that would make It the paid duty of some township official to take an accurate census of each township every year, say during the month of April. He suggests April for the reason that this is a month when everybody is at home. There is something in this idea, and to those who would object on account jf the expense, we beg leave to observe that the returns would be many times greater than the cost. One time about twenty years ago, the legislature tried the experiment of having the names of all persons eligible to poll tax published in a newspaper once a week for three weeks. The idea was that neighbors and others who knew would supply all the omitted names and help correct double entries. The experiment cost a good deal of money. In York county it amounted to about $500; but it is a fact that it paid. The publication was not resorted to until the auditor and school trustees had made their list as complete as they could and there were enough correct additions the first year to pay the expense. The benefit derived continued for several years, adding to the profit of the plan from a business standpoint. Rut Mr. Carroll's idea is probably better. It seems to us that a good way to carry it out would be to wait until the returns are all in, say about the first of April, and then give especially appointed men so much per capita for all names they can find in their respective townships that are not already on the auditor's books.

The fire was extinguished before the hose wagon got to it; but the run was a good one, the distance of something like a half mile, having been made within less than five minutes from the time of the sounding of the alarm. MILITARY DISBURSEMENT. The Columbia State of this morning jiu? cue luituwiiiK, wniun jh 01 more or less local interest: No official light was shed by Lieut. Col. John R. Lindsay, who is the disbursing officer of the United States for South Carolina, as to the pay received by J. C. Boyd, the adjutant general, and William T. Brock, the assistant adjutant general, while attending the encampments and rifle shoots, in a communication which he sent to the National Guard association which held a kind of reorganization meeting here on Wednesday. Incidentally before going into a discussion of his official duties. Col. Lindsay said that he was "pleased to say that in reply to the letters sent out by me, I have furnished Col. W. W. Moore with 98 written requests from officers that I be reappointed as United States disbursing officer for South Carolina." He says following this that he has always been ready and willing for any official act of account of his to be looked into and examined in all of its details. He then launched into a discussion of the stories recently published as to the rifle team expense and the pay of the adjutant general and the assistant adjutant for attending rifle shoots and encampments. "Why have I not answered the articles in the Columbia State?" This n noat I An i a n a 1/ rwl (ri t Ko oom rtmni/>n _ 4 uto iiuu 10 aoi\tu in iiir i/Uiiiiuuiiita~ tion of Col. Lindsay, and he makes the following answer: "First, because I decline to be drawn into a newspaper controversy, and, second, because my name was mentioned in connection with two officers superior In rank, and it would be out of order for me to assume to make reply for them." At the meeting of the National Guard the question was asked if it was not so that Gen. Boyd and Col. Brock had received pay for attending the rifle shoots and the encampments of the state militia. J. C. Boyd was present, and in the discussion the admission was gained from him that he had received some extra pay during the summer. The point caused considerable discussion. The communication of Col. Lindsay reviews in full his official duties as disbursing officer. "The United States disbursing officer for South Carolina has nothing to do with state funds at any time." Touching on that rifle shooting match at Camp Perry when the South Carolina team made such a poor showing and spent over $8,000. Col. Lindsay had the following comment to make in his communication: "Perhaps there exists an erroneous impression as to the national rifle match at Camp Perry, Ohio, as compared to other encampments of the National Guard. There is no difference. It is an encampment under orders just the same as the encampment of the Second and Third regiments at Chickamauga Park, Ga., this year and the First regiment at Aiken or any encampment for rifle shooting held in the state. The members taking part in this shoot from South Carolina and from any other state consist of twelve men who shoot, three alternates, a team captain, a coach, a spotter and a range officer?nineteen in all. Every man named, be he one of the twelve who shoot or not, is there under orders. I have gone to Camp Perry as a member of the South Carolina team for several years past and I went under orders and with a specific duty. Why the Columbia State has seen fit to single me out from among the other otHcers going to Camp Perry and the various rifle , contests held in the state and not shooting, I can't say, but on looking over the reports made by Maj. Hyde of the national rifle matches, which , appear in the adjutant general's an- | nual reports. I find that he only mentions the men who shoot on the range, , and, as I say, perhaps from this, an impression has arisen that only these particular men were entitled to go." With reference to publicity and , who should know the details of his ( office. Col. Lindsay has the following to say: "Xow, gentlemen, I can say to , you that I have attended no encampment except under orders to do so: | that I have paid no money except on , approved vouchers; that I have | drawn no pay, personally, except for sendees actually performed and under orders or in accordance with the i provisions of the state militia regula- | tions previously quoted; that my official acts and accounts are open to \ your Inspection. I believe in the ( fullest publicity and am ready at all , times to answer all questions and show any or all my records, provided the request for same comes from the proper source. Your asso- ( elation or any of its members are en- : titled to this information." Col. Lindsay asked the National Guard association in his letter to appoint a committee to visit his office and go over all the accounts and records. Several days ago Adj. Gen. Boyd was asked for an Itemized statement of the expenses of the South Carolina team to the Camp Perry rifle match. This was never obtained. REAL ESTATE VALUES. "Only those who give the subject ] close attention are aware of the fact, probably; but there has been more j outcome in real estate values in York county during the past four years than in any other line of investment that can be mentioned, and more than that, if you will take my word for it, we have not yet begun to approach the ' top." So said Mr. J. C. Wilborn, the well 1 known Yorkville real estate man a few \ days ago, when a representative of The Enquirer asked him for his views as ' to the general real estate situation, ' and further on in the conversation he } made some other equally striking ob- ' servations and gave facts that are cal- 1 culated to convince even the most 1 skeptical. ' "I used the comparative period of t four years," Mr. Wilborn resumed. ( "merely because that is the length of < time I have been especially identified ' with the business. The upward ten dency first became noticeable about i ten years ago; but it has been more f marked during the past four years than during the previous six years. In fact, ' I think I am safe in saying that there r has been twice as much increase in \ value since I have been in the busi- i ness, than during the six years pre- i vious. ' "How would you go about getting at ( a tangible estimate as to comparative < values?" was asked. < "If you will take the trouble to look up some of the transfers of real estate along- about in 1890, you will find that the average price of good farm land was about eight and ten dollars an acre. Take a look over the same record now, and you will see where lands are going at $25, $30, $40 and even $50 an acre, and in some cases they arc the very same lands. I myself have, in several Instances had the very satisfactory experience of selling the same land to three or four different purchasers, beginning at $10 or $12 an acre, and making the last transfer at from $35 to $40 an acre. "And got your commission every time?" "Sure. "Why, there was one case I could tell you about where a young man who had bought a farm on credit, and becoming discouraged because he feared he could never pay out; came and asked me to sell for him. I took it up, aavernsea me property, nuntetl around among: people I knew were looking? for good places to invest and sold the land at a good profit. Then in a little while the same man asked me to get him another farm in a different neighborhood. It was not a great while before I succeeded. He took the place, went on it, made a good crop, and I am now trying to get him to take a cash offer that will net him $2,800 profit. "About a year ago I had an option on a pretty good sized farm a few miles east of Yorkville at $25 an acre. I had about made up my mind to buy it myself; but for some reason let the option expire. A few weeks afterward another man bought the place at $30 and then turned it over to me to sell for him. I cut the place up into several tracts, and sold them In a little while. Only a few days ago I tried to get the man who bought one of the tracts at $32.50 to re-list it with me at $40 and he would not think of the proposition." "But it takes these North Carolina fellows to realize how cheap York county lands are. Land values are generally higher with them just over the line, and when they come down here and see our lands, often better than theirs at ridiculously low prices, they pounce down like a duck on a Junebug. I had a four hundred acre tract that had been listed with me at $18. It is worth $25 if It is worth anything at all. I couldn't get the people in the neighborhood to hardly look at it. I think they figured that I would have difficulty finding a purchaser and they would get it cheaper. I went to North Carolina, got a man there to come and see it, and he snapped it up the same as if it were a $2.98 offering at a bargain sale. And he has made several thousand dollars by the transaction. I have no idea that he would sell right now for a profit of $5 an acre. "The Mount Gallant property over near Rock Hill sold a few years ago for S20 an nrrp nnrt I woo I n fnrmoil the other day that only last week a few gentlemen who thought they had a good thing It it, paid upward of J50 an acre, or something like {28,000 for it." "What do you think," Mr. Wilborn was asked, "of the trend of sentiment as to real estate values. Do you think that there is anything like a general appreciation of the fact that the price of land is constantly on the up grade and that there Is something solid and substantial behind the increase in values ?" "To answer that question fully," Mr. Wilborn replied, "it would be necessary to cover a good deal of ground, but briefly I would say 'yes, in spots.* There are a good many shrewd investors all throughout this section who see very clearly that judicious investment in farm lands offer more promise of returns than anything else; but their policy is to proceed cautiously for fear of putting prices on a jump before they get what they want. As a rule they do not preach the gospel of probable higher values. They are more inclined to argue that the advance in the prices of farm lands has been abnormal, and that there must be a reaction, which they profess to fear. But upon the whole I think the opinion that prices are not going to be any lower in this country, barring some terrible calamity is very general. You will find very few sure enough business men who are really afraid of a real estate investment. They are slow to buy sometimes, because they think they may be able to get the property a few dollars cheaper; but they are always slower to sell, even when you offer them a price that they may have expressed themselves as being willing to take." "There used to be a tendency on the part of a great many people to try to beat you real estate people out of your commissions, how about that?" Mr. Wilborn was asked. 'Oh, there is some of that yet, of couse, as there will always be: but most of that, I think came from a failure to realize that it takes labor, experience, judgment and expense to keep up the real estate situation. People had a feeling that our compensation was in the nature of a pickup, and sometimes there was reluctance to pay for our services. But there is less of that now. Most people know that I can handle a transfer of property for them better than they can themselves, more especially if they have not had a great deal of experience, and it is as common now for people to commission me to buy as it formerly was for them to commission me to sell. But believe it or not as you like, we come pretty nearly earning all the commissions we get." LOCAL LACONICS. Old Landmark Gone. The Andrew Jackson old home, a two-story dwelling between Stroup's store and Filbert, was destroyed by fire last Monday night. The house which was the property of Mr. J. M. Stroup, was occupied by John Bird, colored. Bird lost most of his household furniture and came near losing his life in an unsuccessful effort to 3ave $45 in cash from a trunk. Wanted For Murder. There came to the office of the sheriff of York county a few days ago a circular descriptive of a negro deserter from the United States army and offering a reward of $50 for his arrest and delivery to the nearest army post. On the circular were two cuts of the negro, one a full front view and the other a side view, and the fellow's name was given as Walker A. Pratt. The circular stated that when the felloow joined the army something over two years ago, he gave the residence of tiis father as Charlotte and his mother at Chester. On reading the circular. Sheriff Brown and Deputy Sheriff Quinn were struck with the description is suggestive of a negro, Walter Wray, who killed Ed Williams, another negro in Fort Mill township near Pineville on December 26, 1897, and they sent the circular to Magistrate McElhaney for further investigation. Magistrate McElhaney found a negro who knew Wray, and who was positive in his identification of Walker A. Pratt as the same man. The recollection of Deputy Sheriff Quinn is that Wray was living in Charlotte at the time of the killing and had come down to Fort Mill township during the Christmas holiflays on a visit. The local authorities are doing what they can to find out whether the negro nas oeen in or 13 still in this locality and it is their purpose to watch the matter up to the extent of bringing the fellow back here for trial in case the army authorities manage to get hold of him again.

PUTTING ON BRAKES. Just a Little Doubt as to Whether Bryan Is Helping Harmon. A Columbus, Ohio, dispatch contains this by no means startling tidings: "The Paulding Times, one of the influential Democratic newspapers in that Democratic northwest territory, has bolted the nomination of Judson Harmon for re-election as governor of Ohio. It opposes Harmon on the ground that Harmon opposed Bryan in his three presidential campaigns, and that he is a man whose every act as chief executive of the state has shown that he is in sympathy with corporations and their interests." It serves to disclose Mr. Bryan's hand if that were needed, for Mr. Bryan laid his cards down face up last week when he declared that he would sooner vote for an insurgent or a progressive Republican than a standpat Democrat, though he really meant that he preferred any Republican to a Democrat like Harmon of Ohio, or Wilson of New Jersey. The incident serves to make pertinent the following anecdote, that Is exceedingly popular in circles made up of railroad trainmen: "A brakeman who had not been long employed was going up a very steep grade on his first run. With unusual difficulty the engineer succeeded in reaching the top. At the station, looking out of his cab, the engineer saw the new brakeman and said, with a sigh of relief: 'I tell you what, my lad, we had a job to get up here, didn't we?' 'We certainly did,' said the brakeman, 'and if I hadn't have put on the brakes we'd have slipped back.'" It is now become the office of Mr. Bryan to put on the brakes to stop the progress of his party on the way tn qnpppaa at tho nnlla Uo Vioa Anaw. ly bolted the nominee of his party for governor in his own state, though that man was for many years one of his most ardent political supporters. The political situation in Ohio is a picture of the general political chaos in thirty states or more. The Bryan men are in revolt against the Democratic ticket and it would seem that the colored voters are ready to bolt the Republican state ticket. Next Tuesday, quite likely, will bring surprises.?Washington Post. THE GENERAL ELECTION. Matters to be Decided In Various States Next Tuesday.

Novem- V her 2, the marriage of Miss Maud WhitesldG and Mr. Victor Plaxco was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents, in the presence of a number of relatives and friends'. On account of the recent death of Mrs. J. D. Whiteside, sister of the bride's mother, the marriage was rather quiet, and witnessed by a very few outside the relatives of the bride and groom. The parlor was tastefully and artistically decorated with evergreens and chrysanthemums. An improvised altar was arranged in front of the fire place, the arch and gate being banked with evergreen. To add to the beauty of the scene, the room was lighted by the soft glow of a number of candles, placed behind the altar. The guests were received by Misses Bessie Farrts. Belle McGill and Mamie Kennedy. Promptly at the hour appointed for the ceremony, as the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march were played by Miss Llna Whiteside, the ribbon girl, little Miss Jennie Lind Whiteside, in a dress of pink mull with pink ribbons, entered and opened the gate to the altar. Next came Mrs. J. W. Castles, sister of the bride, who was dame of honor. She was gowned in white lingerie and carried sprengire fern and chrysanthemums. Lastly entered the bride on the arm nf tVia ?rAAm on/' ?? vuv ft* V/WIII, ouu IIICJ lUUIVy ? their place beneath the arch. Rev. G. L.
