Scraps and Acts.
? Ben W. Hooper, the newly elected
governor of Tennessee, was found on
the streets of Knoxville less than
forty years ago. The waif, whose
parentage is not known, was committed
to the care of an orphan asylum.
where he received his early
training. When he was ten years old
he attracted the attention of Capt.
Hooper of Newport. Term., who gave
him an education and his name, and
before he was twenty-one he had
graduated with distinction. While he
has achieved some distinction in his
home county, having been sent to the
legislature for two terms. Hooper was
not known generally in the state before
he was nominated as the Republican
candidate for governor. He is
a successful lawyer and is considered
wealthy.
? The census bureau report, issued
at 10 o'clock last Wednesday, shows
7.339.9S3 bales of cotton, counting
round as half bales, ginned from the
growth of 1910 to November, compared
with 7,017,849 for 1909; 8,191,557
for 1908 and 6.128.562 for 1907.
Round bales included this year are

? Bowling Green, Mo., November 9:
Downward revision of the tariff is the
pledge made for the new Democratic
house of representatives by Champ
Clark, who is a candidate for speaker.
"The landslide was in keeping with
my predictions," said Mr. Clark. "The
people are tired of the present administration
and are provoked to just the
extent that the returns indicated, with
the tariff deception. The first and
greatest proposition the Democrats
should stand for is a reduction in the
tariff to a revenue basis. I would reduce
it scientifically and gradually
and put into it a sliding scale, much
like there was in the tariff bill of 1833.
There is no question that the Democrats
will be on their good behavior
in the next congress and the future
will depend largely on our conduct,
Democrats now nave a goiaen opportunity
for constructive statesmanship
and should seize it and demonstrate
once more their fitness for legislation,
wisely and patriotically."
? The result of Tuesday's election in
Illinois and Chicago furnished one of
the greatest surprises in the entire
country. Although pictured as in the
best shape of any state in the middle
west from the Republican standpoint,
nowhere was the Democratic landslide
more pointed. The Democrats made
a clean sweep in Cook county and for
the first time in fourteen years they
reign supreme. With pluralities ranging
from 15,000 to 25,000 they captured
the offices of sheriff, county
treasurer, county clerk, probate judge,
and in fact every county office. The
Republican members of the sanitary
district board met defeat in the general
cleanup. For the first time in its
history a Democratic member was
elected to the board of review. Local
Republican leaders were staggered by
the result. They had predicted election
of their entire county ticket with pluralities
varying from 30,000 to 45.000.
Aside from the actual conquest of
county offices the election is important
to the Democrats as indicating
their chances for electing a mayor for
Chicago next spring
? Henri Dunant. famous as the
founder of the International Red
Cross society, died on October 30 in
Switzerland. Henri Dunant' was of
Ct..ieo KirtVi nnri liverl in Geneva. At
the battle of Solferino, June 24, 1859,
he witnessed the needless suffering
and loss of life resulting from days of
neglect to care for the wounded. Realizing
that such conditions need not
exist he conceived the idea of pledging
the nations of the earth to regard
and protect as neutral all sick and
wounded combatants and all persons
giving succor. He elaborated his
ideas and through the co-operation
of the Swiss Federal council brought
about an international conference at
Geneva in October, 1S63. Sixteen
governments were represented. This
was followed by the Geneva convention
of August 8, 1864, which adopted
nine articles of agreement "for the
amelioration of the conditions of
wounded in armies in the field." These
articles were signed by twelve governments
and the signatory powers have
since reached forty. A uniform Hag
made of a red cross on a white
ground was adopted as a compliment
to the Swiss confederation whose national
flag is the reverse.
? The Spanish senate on November
4, by a vote of 149 to 58, passed the
"padlock bill." which prohibits the
creation of further religious establishments
in Spain until the revision of
the concordat with the Vatican has
been completed. The revision of the
concordat of 1851 has long been the
cause for diplomatic negotiations between
liberal governments in Spain
and the Vatican. The modifications
sought affect chiefly the clauses relating
to liberty of conscience and education
and the limitation of religious
orders. With the advent in February
last of the present ministry. Premier
Canalejas announced that the negotiations
begun by his predecessors
with the Vatican would be continued,
but this programme, which called for
the abridgment of the influences of
the Catholic churches and the inauguration
of a broad system of public
education, would be proceeded
with regardless of the wishes of
Rome. Much opposition on the part
of the clericals has been brought to
bear against Canalejas' programme
and especially the "padlock bill."
which prohibits the creation of
further religious orders until the question
of the revision of the concordat
has been settled. The Vatican made
frequent vigorous protests against the
bill.
? Conditions looked quite serious in
the City of Mexico Wednesday, and
for a whole day there was danger of
a mixup between the United States and
Mexico. The trouble grew out of the
lynching of a Mexican, Antonio Rodrigues,
at Rock Springs, Texas, on
the night of November 3. There is in
Mexico a large and formidable antiAmerican
sentiment, and this was
aroused against America, because of
the lynching. A great mob of Mexicans
made a demonstration against
the Americans in the city and started
toward the American embassy. As
soon as the Mexican authorities began
to realize the situation, they put
soldiers and police alter the mob and
, mi..a
bevcrai ui uic i iuina i\n?vu.
Americans were attacked in ditYerent
parts of the city, and in some cases
pretty badly abused; but it was not
all one way. In every case the Americans
held their ground until they
beat off their assailants or assistance
came. Jack Davis an American automobile
repair man, drove the mob from
his place with such weapons as were
handy. The whole thing has become
the subject of diplomatic correspondence
between Mexico and Washington.
The Mexican authorities disclaim sympathy
with the rioters and promise t<i
see that proper punishment is meted
out. Washington is satisfied with the
attitude of the Mexican government.
? Washington. November 8: President
Taft and his advisers in the state
and treasury departments will probably
soon confer over the severe blow
dealt the American fertilizer industry
by Germany's rejection of the
American proposals for adjusting the
German potash controversy. The
state department received no message
yesterday from Ambassador Hill at
Berlin or from M. 11. Davis, the department's
commercial agent there,
who has been inquiring into the situation
but an official cable report may
reach the department today. Millions
of dollars loss to American contractors
are involved in the position taken
by Germany which restricts the output
of the several potash mines, imposes
heavy taxes and virtually put.the
mines in the hands of a syndicate
under governmental supervision. Germany
is substantially the only source
of potash supply in the world and tin
United States, purchasing annually
approximately $7,000,000 worth, the
use of potash salts constantly increasing
in cotton fertilization, is by far the
largest consumer. Germany had ample
notice before its reiehstag passed
the law during last spring, for Ambassador
Hill, under instructions from
Washington, acquainted the Berlin
foreign office with the American view
and six months ago had to report to
the state department that the law with
its obnoxious provisions from the
standpoint of the American contractors
had been passed.
(The \tcrkrillr (Enquirer.
Entered at the Postofflce in Yorkville
as Mail Matter of the Second Class.
YORKVILLE, S. C.i
?
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER II, 1910.
The Republicans are now beginning
to learn how it feels.
Did President Taft take his smile
with him to Panama?
Wonder what the papers keep on
1 trying to discredit Dr. Cook for?
The high cost of living brought about
by the Republican tariff, is what did
it.
North Carolina is getting to be
eminently resectable in a political
way.
Of course Champ Clark is going to
be the next speaker of the house of
representatives.
Everybody is glad that the election
is over, because now there stands
nothing in the way of business.
The present congress has three
months more to serve, and after that,
the Democrats will need to he consulted.
"S?*e Charleston first" is the slogan
finally adopted bv the city, and it is
a very good slogan, for Charleston is
worth seeing.
The Enquirer hopes to see some Yorkcounty
corn farmer pass the hundred
bushel mark next year. Perhaps one
of the corn club boys will do it.
The market price of votes is not so
high in New York as it used to be.
Better election laws properly enforced,
make the traffic in votes more dangerous
and difficult.
The Democrats now have the house,
and it is up to them to demonstrate
what they can do with it. With the
senate and White House in control of
the Republicans, the house is a dangerous
charge.
When the reporters went after him
at Oyster Bay, last Tuesday night, the
colonel sent word that he had "absolutely
nothing to say." Wasn't that
really a stranger thing than the Democratic
landslide?
In the north. New York especially,
the watcher at the polls is a recognized
necessity. Down here in South Carolina,
where all are Democrats, and nobody
will cheat, but little need is felt
for anything of this kind.
The governor has seventeen applications
for the position of railroad
commissioner so far and the applica
tions are still coming. Wonder why
some of these fellows did not go into
the primary and thresh the matter out
with the people?
F. H. Weston, a bright lawyer of
Columbia, has thrown out the suggestion
that because the newspapers
queried the credit of the dispensary,
it became necessary for the whisky
houses to overcharge. That is a real
good one from away back.
Hurrah for Greenville! The exact
figures cannot be quoted yet; but returns
so far received show that that
county has refused by an overwhelming
majority to allow the re-establishment
of the dispensary. The good people
of the county were not asleep as
there was reason to fear.
The Republicans of the Ninth North
Carolina district had actually gotten
themselves to believing that they were
going to defeat Yates Webb; but what
Webb did for them was a plenty.
The voters of the Ninth district evidently
know a good thing when they
see it, and Mr. Webb represents the
district to perfection. He is a thorough-going
Democrat, too.
There#is no getting away from the
fact that by all the rules of fairness
and right, the appointment of railroad
commissioner to succeed the late Mr.
Sullivan, belongs to James Cansler.
In saying this, we express no opinion
as to qualifications further than to assert
that the office has been held by
others who were no more competent
from any standpoint, and there are
people now in the office who are in no
way superior to Mr. Cansler.
It will have to be admitted that the
ch.'si.T inrv which is trvimr to do the
right tiling in those graft cases, has
a nig undertaking on its hands. Maylie
a lawyer can do it. hut for a layman
to distinguish between the graft
( that was taken out of the original
transactions and the graft that has
been extracted in the winding-up process.
is an exceedingly difficult matter.
We do not know certainly; hut
' we do not think that it is even
' charged that any of the defendants in
the case made as much out of rebates
as has been paid to some of the lawyers
who are conducting the present
prosecution.
We reproduce front the Columbia
1 State today an interesting communi|
cation from Mr. W. 1'. Calhoun of
Kdgctield county, on the question of
substituting a county court system for
th" present magistrate system. We
| agree with Mr. Calhoun in most that
; he says and we think the change would
be for the public benefit, especially in
a county like York. We do not believe
a county court system would cost as
: much its the present magistrate sys
tem. < ?u the contrary, we believe it
would b? cheaper and much more effi.
cieiit: but for the reasons given by Mr.
Calhoun, we have but little hope of
seeing the change for many years to
come.
Democratic Victory.
Of course, it is always pleasing to
know that your side has won, and all
Democrats will he gratified that the
party is to have a majority in the next
house of representatives; but at the
same time, in view of the circumstance
it is well not to he too enthusiastic
over the prospects.
The Republicans have lost the house
simply because they failed to measure
up to the very reasonable expectations
of the people of the country, and they
I a i K'u 10 mtasui c 11 \} iu iiicr ? vc.sonable
expectations of the people of
the country, because too much power
had made them so proud and arrogant
that they had begun to feel that they
could with impunity, openly and flagrantly
disregard even the fundamental
principles of popular government.
That control of one branch of the
government is better than the control
of none, there is no question. For
quite a long time, the Democrats have
had no say at all in the affairs of the
government. They could say but that
is all they could do. They had neither
authority nor responsibility; but now
that they have control of one branch
jof the government, they have both authority
and responsibility.
Heretofore the Republicans have had
| both authority and responsibility, and
whether they did do or did not do, they
had to answer to the people. They had
| a lot to answer for and that is why the
| people turned them down. But during
the two years following the 4th of next
March, the Democrats will have their
work cut out for them, and upon their
'conduct will determine the question as
to whether the people of the country
will be willing to restore them to
power.
The whole game for the next two
years is comprehended in the idea of
.v. nr tn crat ororlit for all
oiuc u,o?a
the good things that may be done and
putting the onus of the questionable
things on the other side, and whichever
side succeeds best will carry the
country in 1912.
POLITICAL TIDAL WAVE.
Democratic Jackass Kicks G. 0. P.
Elephant Sky-High.
The Democrats have no cause to
complain on account of the result of
last Tuesday's election throughout the
country. It was a veritable landslide
against the Republicans, who lost
many representatives in congress, and
experienced slumps from their former
strength in nearly every state of the
Union.
Latest calculations on the national
house of representatives, based on
complete but unofficial returns, show
that the Democrats will have a safe
working majority of 30.
The outcome of the United States
senate is now definitely settled. The
Republicans are assured of 16 new
senators, which, with 34 holdover
senators, gives them a total of 50.
The Democrats are assured of 15
new senators, which, with 25 holdovers.
gives them a total of 40.
Two senatorships are still in doubt,
namely, the successor of the late Mr.
Dolliver in Iowa, and of Mr. Carter
in Montana, where there is prospect
of a tie.
These determined totals, however,
leave a Republican majority In the
senate as follows:
Total membership 92; necessary to
majority 47; Republicans 50; Democrats
40; doubtful 2.
The 1? KepuDucan wnawis tu..sidered
assured are from California,
Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Michigan. Nevada, North
Dakota (2), Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island. Utah, Vermont, Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The 15 Democratic senators considered
assured are from Florida. Indiana,
Louisiana, Mpine, Maryland,
Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New
Jersey, New York. Ohio, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
A summary of the contest for governorship
shows the following Democratic
governors elected, with the approximate
plurality:
New York, Dix, 66,000.

THE REAL ELECTION. \
"Why, what are they voting on today.
I thought they had the election 1
last summer?" was a question asked 1
last Tuesday. I
"That was on0 the primary where i
the candidates were nominated," came 5
the explanation from a man who knew, t
"But everybody was voting then, and 1
nobody is taking any interest today," j
observed the first speaker. "Why is
today's election necessary?" 1
"Well it is like this. There was east (
in the primary last summer about 3,500 1
votes. Today the total vote is not 3
likely to amount to more than 1,500, if i
that. If some other man, other than 1
a candidate nominated last summer i
should get 751 of these votes he would
be elected." <

THE GENERAL ELECTION.
Because there was no opposition,
there was very little interest in the
1 I,,., I? Ihic, nminlv loaf
Tuesday, and The Enquirer did not
Jeem it worth while to go to the trouble
and expense of collecting a dctail?d
statement as to the result of the
rating.
The total vote in the state election
it the Yorkville box was only 86. and
n the Federal election only 69. One
jolting precinct was in the front end of
:he court house and the other in the
ear end, and probably because they
had forgotten that there were two
mxes, as many as seventeen of the
leople who voted In the state election
railed to walk one hundred feet and
rate in the Federal election.
As to the eight proposed constitutional
amendments there was a great
leal of ignorance. The ignorance was
lue to the fact that the people had
limply not taken the trouble to Inform
themselves. In most cases they did not
are. The only proposed amendment
that attracted even ordinary concern
ivas that providing for an increase of
[he number of supreme court judges
from four to five. To make this
intendment effective several amendments
are necessary, and most
if the people who voted on the subject
it all voted only on the main question.
Fifteen neople were in favor of another
judge and 33 were opposed.
With reference to the other amendments,
most of the votes were no. Vo[ers
frankly stated that they knew
lothing about the matter and In that
ase they could think of nothing better
than to vote "no." The wording
in some of the tickets was so nearly
identical that even the managers had
lifflculty in deciding where they should
le credited.
AMNIIAI PREMIUM CONTEST.
The attention of former clubmakers
ind the public generally, is called to
:he fact that the announcement of our
mnual premium offers appears elsewhere
in this issue today, and we incite
a careful reading of it by everybody.
In brief, the meaning of the anlouncement
is that the yearly subscriber-getting
campaign is on; that
we want everybody to help us get all
:he present subscribers renewed and
laid for and to get as many new ones
is possible, and that we are offering
iberal premiums for this work.
This contest is fair, free and open. (
IVhile it is with much pleasure and
jride that we are reminded of the fact
:hat the list of clubmakers Includes a
lumber who have been making clubs
'or a generation, still, we are able to
five assurance that this need not in:erfere
with beginners It is a fact
?ach year for years past, beginners
lave carried off some of the best preniums,
and last year eight of the six:een
sewing machines that we gave to
dubmakers went to people who had
lad no previous experience in the work
>f soliciting subscriptions.
That it has required no very large
lumber of names to carry off the preniums
except the one offered for the
argest number of subscribers, is
ihown by a review of the awards last
ear.
The largest club last year was that
>f Mr. A. W. McFarland of York townihip
and consisted of 259 names. The
lecond largest club was that of Mr. Jeff
3. Whiteside of Broad River townihip,
who was awarded a handsome
rnrlor organ for 82 names. He was
'ollowed by Mr. J. F. A. Smith with
11 names.
In Bethel township one machine
vent for 45 names and another for 39
lames.
In Broad River township, a machine
vas awarded for 36 names.
In Bullock's Creek township one ma bine
went for 48 names and the oth
;r 46 names.
In Bethesda, one machine went for
16 names and another for 31 names.
In Catawba township, one machine
vent for 33J names, and the other for
II names.
In Ebenezer township, one machine
vent for 39J names, and the other for
10 names.
In Fort Mill township, one machine
vent for 40 names, and the other for
6 names.
In Kind's Mountain township, one
nachine went for 64i names and the
>ther for 31 names.
The matter of getting up the largest
dub merely involves persistent work.
}ne only needs to commence and keep
it it. There is no need to be discourLged
because a large number of people
nay say, when solicited, that they have
ilready given their names to some>ody
else. The thing is to go after
lew ones. There is a large number
>f people who do not take any news>aper,
and among them are many who
vill subscribe when they are shown
he advantage of having a paper like

wice each week.
YORKVILLE'S TRADE.
Retail merchandising $1,000,000
Wholesale merchandising .. 400,000
Banking 500,000
Manufacturing 800,000
All other businesses 225,000
Total $2,925,000
This is a reasonably careful estimate
>f the total annual business of the
own of Yorkville, as made up with the
issistance of several business men who
ire best acquainted with the affairs of
he town.
A similar estimate of the town's
>usiness made ten years ago, and based
argely on detailed statements by proprietors
and managers who had exact
nformation, showed an aggregate of
.lightly less than $600,000. According
:o this, during the ten years, there has
pen an increase of $2,325,000 in the
innual business of the town.
There is no pretense that these figires
are absolutely accurate; but we
lo assert that they are approximately
iccurate, and that if the tigures of ten
. ears ago were slightly under the ac;ual
facts, the same can be said of the
Igures given as representing the busness
of the town today.
The increase in the town's business
luring the first five years of the period
nentioned did not amount to a great
leal. There was increase, but there
,vas nothing startling about it; but the
nerease of the past five years has been
something tremendous and but few
jeople have a very comprehensive apjreciation
of its full significance.
Included in the estimate of maiui"actures
is the business of the four
jotton mills. The figures represent
nerely an estimate, and the estimate
s believed to be rather under than
>ver the actual amount. The gross
nisiness of the cotton mills, however,
idds very materially to the grand toal
The most marked and significant
nisiness development is noticeable in
nanufacturing, merchandising and
mnking. The manufacturing business
s virtually a growth of the last fif:een
years, the annual business before
hat amounted to less than $50,000.
Since then the cotton mill, cotton oil
ind other smaller enterprises have
cached proportions that are probably
n excess of the figures given. The
lanking business is considerably more
:han three times greater than it was
jeven years ago, and the mercantile
tusiness Is four times greater at least.
The business of Yorkville was probibly
at its lowest ebb when the Hanson
Dry Goods company was established
here. The situation then was down
:o real hard pan. The Ganson Dry
"binds company was able to bring back
i little of the town's natural trade that
lad drifted off to Gastonia, Rock Hill,
'heater and other points. J. M. Heath
t Co., afterward the Y. B. & M. Co.,
wiped to start the tide this way again,
ind with the subsequent assistance of
I. Q. Wray, the Thomson Co.. J. L.
IVilliams Ai Co., and the Kirkpatrickftelk
company, in the dry goods line,
ind various concerns in supplies,
groceries, etc., the situation has been
ompletely changed. It is a matter of
onnnon knowledge that where people
formerly went from three or four miles
of Yorkville to Oastonia, Chester and
Rock Hill, for their dry goods, now
people living on the outskirts of those
towns are coming to Yorkville, getting
what they want and coming hack
again.
It has been only half a dozen years
or such a matter, since The Enquirer
would have been very reluctant to try
to say anything especially favorable of
Yorkville as a dry goods market, for
anything good it might have said
would have surely been discredited.
The merchants did not have the stuff
and were unable to make good. Now
it is different. Yorkville merchants are
up to the minute, in dry goods, hardware,
groceries, supplies, drugs, buggies
and wagons, and ask no odds of
anybody either as to quality or quantity
And why the change? Largely because
of intelligent energy on the part
of a few live men. It is not worth
while to individualize. It is better to
leave each one to take all the glory to
which he considers himself entitled.
But it is a fact that the biggest part
of the work has heen done by a few.
However, the field has hardly been
scratched. It is difficult to point out
another town in the state that has a
trading territory equal to that of Yorkville.
either as to extent or as to
wealth and intelligence of the people
within easy reach. It is one of the
prettiest fields for business of every
kind that is to be found anvwhere and
there is really no limit to the development
that ian be brought about with
the right ki..d of effort.
THE CREAMERY.
So long as the local creamery is to
be regarded in the light of an experiment.
and that means until it has been
proved to be a success or failure, the
whole proposition and everything connected
with it, is naturally possessed
of considerable interest to a large proportion
of the public, and this Is the
reason of the attention it has been receiving
from The Enquirer.
The result of the first day's churning
was very satisfactory. The statement
published Tuesday to the effect
that the first day's milk receipts
amounted to 1,000 pounds was incorrect.
There was only 867 pounds of
whole milk. Mr. Brvdges, from whom
the information came, thought that the
deliveries amounted to 1,000 pounds,
but afterward found he was mistaken.
The first churning was done Tuesday
morning, and the yield of 867 pounds
of milk was 58 pounds of butter, which
means that the butter yield was Just
one pound over 6 per cent of the total
quantity of milk churned, a showing
that was highly satisfactory.
Throughout the dairy territory of the
central west, Illinois, and surrounding
states, the average percentage of butter
fat in milk is 3.97 per cent, and the
average yield of butter is 4.97 per cent. |
The average percentage or nutter iat
here, according to the showing just
made is 5, or a little more than 1 per
cent over the average of the great
dairy section.
The creamery people argue that this
section has every advantage over the
Illinois country. In the first place, the
Illinois folks have to feed their cows
in harns for seven months of the year
and we can have ours on pasture for
nine months. Their pure breed cows
yield only 4 per cent of butter fat in
their milk and our common cattle are
yielding 5 per cent. During the winter
and practically all of the time, the
northwestern people have to feed their
cattle on exactly the same thing that
we are using, cotton seed meal and
hulls. And on an average, we get a
better price for butter than do the people
of Illinois.
One effect of the creamery locally,
will be to increase the price of butter,
which is now retailing around Yorkville
at 20 and 25 cents. The creamery
nrice will be 40 cents. If the contention
of the creamery people is correct,
individual butter makers will also go
up to 40 cents. The advance will be
perfectly natural, for individual producers
will find it more profitable to
sell to the creamery at a price that will
net them about 30 cents a pound for
their butter fat than to go through the
trouble of churning and selling their
butter at from 20 to 25 cents.
It is claimed also by the creamery
people that their butter is as cheap
at 40 cents as is ordinary home made
butter at 25 cents. They say that a
umimi ill t"i rainci ,y i/uv.iti ?* im ?v?.
ly as far as two pounds of the best
home made butter. It is a fact that the
Elgin creamery butter is a standard
commodity in the markets of all the
great cities of the country and that it
brings higher prices than ordinary
home made butter, which in fact is
I not salable in competition.
The creamery people say that there
is no limit to their market. They can
[dispose of all the butter they can make
in any of the great cities; but they do
not have to go to the great cities. Statistics
show that the states of North
Carolina and South Carolina are consuming
more than 2,000,000 pounds of
butter a year from other states,
and it will be a long time before
the home supply can be brought up to
the home demand.

"GENERAL BOYD'S tvlutiNDt.
Columbia State Makes Interesting
Comment on Interesting Interview.
The contribution made yesterday by
Adjutant General Boyd to the history
of irregularities in the military department
Is interesting but not surprising.
According to the adjutant general.
Colonel Brock and Lieutenant Colonel
Lindsay attended the Camp Perry
shoot without his authority and no
order was issued for such service until
after the encampment, when Colonel
Brock wrote out and signed the
order himself.
General Boyd says that Colonel
Brock was recorded as "spotter" and
Colonel Lindsay as "coach." It Is essential
for good work by a rifle team
that the coach be a scientific rifleman.
a master of the intricacies of
the art; the superior should be an experienced
rifleman, alert and observant.
Instead of having the assistance
of such men, the Palmetto team
might as well have ha't wooden Indians
holding the jobs.
General Boyd admits having ordered
General Boyd to attend the
Camp Perry shoot, and having gone
there "after the money"?$16.67 a
day. We rise to inquire of the authorities
that be what fund was drawn
upon for the general's pay and expenses
to Camp Perry? He was not
a member of the rifle team, those 19
berths having been filled, and, according
to a published ruling of the war
department (Xo. 20, June 6,. 1905),
expenses of officers not members of a
rifle team attending these shoots can
nut he defrayed from funds advanced
to a state for payment of expenses for
actual field and camp service for instruction.
General Boyd says other encampments
were attended by Colonels
Brock and Lindsay on orders issued
subsequently by Colonel Brock. He
might have added that there were also
as many separate encampments and
rifle shoots as possible.?Editorial In
Wednesday's State.
? Columbia Record: The wheat
crop for South Carolina for the year
1910 has broken all records in this
state. The figures on the crop were
given out Wednesday by Commissioner
Watson. During 1910 the wheat crop
was 4.756.000 bushels, while for 1909
the number of bushels was 3,810,000.
Calculating the value at 95 cents a
bushel, the 1910 crop showed an increase
of $723,000 in value over the
1909 crop. "The increase in wheat
production," sail Col. Watson Wednesday,
"goes to show that we are raising
our own foodstuffs in this state
now."
DISPENSARY CASES.
Trial Commenced Tuesday Likely to
be Concluded Tomorrow.
Chester. Nov. 10.?The testimony
in the prosecution of Jno. T. Black.
Jodie Rawllnson and Lee Solomons
was concluded today at noon. Argument
was commenced this afternoon.
B. L. Abney. In a remarkable address,
explained the law as to conspiracy so
clearly that If the Jury acts on his
speech conviction could not but fol|
low. The defense will have five
speeches ana tne prosecution iuur.
The defense put up no witnesses and
will have the closing speech, probably
by R. H. Welch.
There was some good testimony for
the prosecution today. Joe Early
swore that his firm charged more for
Congress Hall in this state than elsewhere
in order to get back the rebates
paid dispensary officials. He also
swore to paying rebates to other
boards than this one under indictment.
W. D. Roy confirmed Joe B. Wylle's
testimony as to the graft schedule.
Roy had not been promised immunity
or anything else. He swore
that there was wrangling over adopting
the schedule, the directors holding
out for $2 a barrel and liquor men
for $1.50. He also swore to comparing
his graft schedule with that of
Solomons and that there were a few
discrepancies.
Roy was tricked by Joe Wylie. The
latter promised Roy all the business
possible without rebates. Therefore
Roy was haughty and was indifferent
about the schedule. But later on he
had to pay the regular old graft and
pay Henry Samuels a little too, in order
to get the board to order out some
whisky they had nominally bought.
Joe B. Wylie was brought back on
the stand and told of a chanticler
meeting of the dispensary board held
at 7 a. m. in order to pay off liquor
houses before Mr. Lyon could enjoin
the board. This was the way the
blacklisted houses got their money.
The board of directors got $5,000 out
of it.
Yesterday counsel for the defense
tried to belittle the evidence that the
Anheuser-Busch people charged direct
from St. Louis $12.02 a cask for
Budwelser, while the same beer could
be bought at Savannah for $10.50. Mr.
Lyon today put up four witnesses and
many vouchers to prove that the figures
were correct and that the beer
was the same quality at Savannah.
This showed Jim Farnum's graft of
something like $1.50 for a cask. The'
bookkeeper of the Anheuser-Busch
people swore that the regular wholesale
price in St. Louis is $9.50 per
toon.
The evidence in epitome is as follows:
Wylie swore to the conspiracy
that certain liquor houses were to get
orders by giving gratuitied in money
to members of the dispensary board.
Roy. Early and Dudley, liquor salesmen,
swore to paying the rebates on
commissions. Samuels corroborated
much of Wylie's testimony, although
unwillingly.
In fact, there has not been a willing
witness for the prosecution. This
thing of alleging graft against a lot
of "good fellows" is unpopular, and
sometimes dangerous. Roy and Wylie
have been the only witnesses from
whom the testimony was not dragged
like pulling teeth. Naturally this
places the prosecution at a disadvantage.
The prosecution has also shown that
the liquors were sold in this state at
higher prices on account of the money
paid officers sworn to accept no rebates.
Mr. Abney, in his request to charge,
made it clear that if the jurors believe
that Joe B. Wylie was telling the
truth his testimony alone should convict.
Merely because he may not be
admitted in this transaction is no reason
why his testimony is not the
truth, and there has been, he argued,
a mass of corroborative testimony to
sustain this witness. There will be
six hours more of speeches.?Columbia

? Several days ago it was reported
that a boy In Marlboro county had
produced 258 bushels of corn on an acre
this year and that Prof. Ira Williams
had gone to Investigate the matter.
Prof. Williams has completed the investigation
and finding that a mistake
has been made, has given out the fol- i
lowing statement: "After carefully <
investigating and having the corn
measured of the reported 258 bushels
per acre, I find that the world's
record has not been broken, that the i
boy will be second so far as the reports
now stand in the yield from the i
boys' corn clubs in the state. I will
say. however, that there was no in- i
teution on the part of the boy or the
committee or the people of Marlboro
county to give out any statement that
was not absolutely accurate, as all of
them were anxious that the facts be
known. The mistake occurred in the
method of measuring the corn. We
do not accept any measurements in
regard to the greatest yield in the
state except the absolute weight of the
corn. I think, however, that this production
is the most remarkable in the
history of the state's corn production.
It is certainly more remarkable than
the Drake yield, if the report as to
now me uraae yiem was mane in irue;
for, in cost of production, it is by far
the least for the large yields produced,
and the methods are such that
any man could follow and expect the
most profitable results. There were
several boys from this neighborhood
In the contest. This boy is an orphan
boy. his father having died when he
was small. He has two brothers about
his age and size. He did not use but

spirit of this boy in regard to accurate
measurement was the best I have

. OUT OF DATE.
Edgefield Lawyer Thinks Magistrate
System Needs Reform.
The following communication published
in the Columbia State of a few
days ago, deals with a subject that is
interesting:
To the Editor of The State:
I have read with Interest your comments
on the magistrates of the
state. Lawyers can tell you a whole
lot about those who now occupy the
office that would be interesting reading
to the people of the state.
Understand me In the beginning
that I mean no reflection on the occupants
of those responsible offices as
men, because as a rule they are upright
men, but simply not qualified
to fill the position of a Judicial officer
requiring the knowledge of the law.
I recognize the fact that in the rural
districts it is a matter of impossibility
to find men who have the required
qualifications to make good judges.
Fully as intricate and important law
Issues come up before a magistrate
for decision as do before the Judges
of the circuit courts. But, in towns
where lawyers can be found to fill the
positions, the rule is that some one
who has never opened a law book is
appointed or elected in the primary,
who. though a good man, is far from
being a good lawyer; or a man who
knows anything about the rules of
court or of law. Under those conditions
it can not be expected that our
magistrates can conduct their offices
properly.
TV*** a!tnatinn la o Viarrl nnA tf\ rPTYl
edy. The best remedy Is In county
courts with a lawyer to preside over
same. Such a suggestion Is not a
popular one because It deprives certain
men in the country of honors to
which they consider themselves entitled.
But we are not after "honors."
We are after efficiency and the
proper administration of the laws of
the land.
Our present system is very ancient,
out of date and totally fails to meet
the requirements of the age. It has
been kept up for political reasons;
that is, for the purpose of rewarding
certain men for political reasons and
not for any benefit that the public
might gain from such a system.
The time has arrived for a change,
and there must be a change. The
manner in which both criminal and
civil business is hatched up in our
magistrates' courts is deplorable.
The election or nomination of magistrates
has proved to be a farce, and
this county decided to and did cut out
the nominations of magistrates by the
primary system, thus throwing the
responsibility on our delegation. But
that does not solve the situation.
Favoritism and popular sentiment will
still control the situation, and not
fitness for the office.
We must have a definite law on the
subject and a county court, presided"
over by a lawyer, just as are our other
courts.
If you will keep hammering on the
situation, you will accomplish good,
as the great majority of the people
are ready to back any change in the
present system that bids fair to bring
about better results.

Have You Kidney Trouble?
How to Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys; if it stains your linen it is
evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent
desire to pass it or pain in the
back is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
What to Do.
Go to the STAR DRUG STORE and
get a 50c box of BLOODINE BLOOD
AND KIDNEY TABLETS and if they
do not help you the STAR DRUG
STORE will give you your money back.
