Scraps and Jiuts. ? Jackson, Miss., November 18: Alleging that when he retired from office Jin 1908 several thousand dollars in state funds were not fully accounted for, suit was filed in the chancery court of Hinds county late today, seeking to have former Governor, now United States Senator James K. VardalrmrP make explanation. The suit was filed by Attorney General A. S. Hudson The Mississippi Bank & Trust. company, now suspended, as the institution In which Mr. Vardaman kept his personal as well as his official deposits, is made co-defendant. The bill alleges the former gov **** *?/* At'hroh Q ro-PQ and double charges in rendering expense accounts 1 for visits to state institutions, and ( that public moneys and his private ? bank accounts were mixed. ? "Unless the Democratic party makes an ass of itself?and its capac- ' ity seems Infinite?his election is certain," was the statement made in New Orleans last Friday night by United States Senator John Sharp Williams when speaking of the probabilities of the election in 1912 of Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, in the event he is the candidate of the Democrats. He said he believed the Democrats would elect the next president,"* and that Governor Wilson would be the man. "Why am I for Wilson? Because he is a gentleman, sir; and he has behind him the most honored southern traditions. , Too. he is a scholar of exceedingly close research." When asked if he would be a candidate for second place on the ticket, Senator Williams merely replied: "The White House is toot j draughty." < ? Absolute cessation, so far as possible of the activities of 150,000,000 5 English-speaking people throughout 1 the world for five minutes for silent prayer and contemplation is a suggestion which Senator Root, of New { York, has made for the celebration f of the 100th anniversary of peace ' among: English-speaking peoples. The i suggestion came out last Friday night ' in connection with the appointment . by Mayor Gaynor of a committee of 100 prominent New York men to have ( charge of the celebration of the cen- I tennial here. The national committee plans to commemorate the anniversary by the erection of a permanent memorial, rather than through the I celebration by pageants. For this 1 reason it has been necessary to or- ( ganize far in advance of the time of celebration, which will extend from ( February 17, 1915, until some time in \ the summer, during which Great ( Britain. Canada and other parts of the English-speaking world will par- 1 ticipate. The date suggested for the r five minute stoppage of activities for English-speaking people is February 17, 1915, the date of the ratification by the American and British govern- < ments of the treaty signed at Ghent, ? Belgium. j ? There are indications of more trouble on the Mexican border because of an alleged attempt to start another ' revolution against President Madero, ? the new president. General Bernardo t Reyes, who was in command of the . Mexican army under General Diaz, is said to be the instigator of the revolu- ' tion and because it was claimed that r he was organizing his proposed expe- , dltion on the American side of the border, he was arrested a few days ago ( on an indictment approved by a United \ States grand jury. Reyes denies that t he has taken any steps looking to revolution or that he intends to do anything of the kind. He will have a hearing in the United States court. > Governor Colquitt of Texas, has tele- < graphed the president full details of 1 the situation and asked him to take t cognizance. Governor Colquitt told < the president that he would not stand \ for the killing- of any more citizens of. Texas on account of fighting along the border, and the president has ordered the Third United States cavalry, stationed at Fort Sam Houston, to go to the border for patrol duty. A story went out from Texas to the effect that the interference of the United States is at the instance of the Mexican government; but the president says that there has been nothing of the kind. He' states that the Wash- * ington government endeavored to protect and ensure the neutrality of the United States during the uprising ( against Diaz and it will do the same s thing now. t ? Atlanta. Ga., November 20: W. < E. Peeler, a bookkeeper of Gaffney, < S. C., has made a written confession that he recently came to Atlanta and impersonated the Rev. W. A. Ferrall <>f Gaffney to clear the latter's skirts ' of a police court charge resulting 1 from a newspaper want ad wooing | episode. Several weeks ago a man stating that he was Rev. W. A. Ferrall of Gaffney, S. C., was arraigned ' before Judge Broyles in the city court ] on the complaint of a young woman ( who charged that he had made love to her through the want ad columns. 1 There was nothing at the time to I .show that the minister was not acting ) in good faith, and he was released. The report of his arraignment, however. caused a sensation in Gaffney. The affair was clothed in deeper mystery when another man. who said he . was Rev. W. A. Ferrall of Gaffney, S. 1 sought out Judge Broyles. This ' man denounced the other Ferrall as < an impostor, and received a letter 8 from the judge declaring that he was not the man arraigned. After publicity had been given to the judge's ' letter the matter remained in un- < certainty until a photograph of the f real Rev. W. A. Ferrall was sent to . Atlanta and identified by Judge Hroy-les and others as the minister 1 who had been arraigned. Peeler In < his confession states that he imper- | isonated the minister at the latter's request, came to Atlanta, saw Judge ; Broyles at his home, and secured the i letter exonerating Ferrall from the \ affair. ? Proceedings of the trial of ten men i at Lincoln Centre, Kan., for tarring and feathering a young woman school 1 teacher, are being reported in the dis- ' patches. The full details have not i yet come out; but from what has ( been published it appears that there is no doubt about these facts. ' The character of the school teacher is I unquestioned. Some months ago the young woman accepted an invitation for a buggy ride with a young man. The buggy was neia up in a imcs wood, and when the young man ran j away, the young woman was seized ( by a party of ten men, stripped, tarred and feathered. The young man ' then reappeared and took the young 1 woman back to his home. It after- j ward came out that the young man . was also a party to the conspiracy and he was forced to give the names ' of the others, who were prominent in < the community. The only reason giv- 8 en for the cowardly act is that the young woman had been "talking s about" other women in the communi- r ty, and the other, women had instiga- t ted their husbands to do the deed. It was believed at first that the young F woman would run away in her humili- * ation, and that would be the last of h it, but she stood her ground and the c outlook is that the cowardly mob is to see the last of it. The whole thing is 1 little more than an ordinary lynching, t . with a little different coloring?that is , all; but maybe under the peculiar cir- . oumstances of this case the members of the mob will come near getting 8 what should come to them. s ? Greenville, N. C., special to the r Charlotte Observer: Safe crackers made an unsuccessful attempt to rob the bank of Ayden, in this county Friday night. About 1 o'clock Mr. W. r M. Forest went in search of a doctor t to attend a sick child. When about r to pass the bank on the opposite side ' of the street, a highwayman thrust " a pistol in his face and marched him n to a shelter across the street, where (] another highwayman was met, and . the two y.ed Mr. Forest, one standing guard over him with a drawn pistol while the other disappeared in the di- t rectlon of the bank door. .Shortly | thereafter. thpee successive explosions were heard in the bank. A few minutes later the highwayman guarding r klr. Forest was joined by others, and hey took their prisoner to a boxcar it the depot and locked him up. Thinking: this might be leaving him oo close to the bank, they moved him ;o another boxcar, about 100 yards lown the track. Mr. Forest's long ibsence from home aroused his famly, and searchers went out to look or him, the number increasing until t reached about fifty. Passing by the joxcar about daybreak, they heard Vlr. Forest calling to them from his >rison and liberated him. Then he :old that the bank had been robbed, ind the robbers had imprisoned him. An investigation followed, disclosing :hat the attempt to rob the bank had jeen unsuccessful, the safe being too food for the robbers to blow open. The outer door of the safe was split ind considerably damaged by the explosions, but did not open the hidden , xeasure to the robbers. Several tools jbtained from a neighboring blacksmith shop were left by the safe. The 1 robbers were white, *and their bun- i fling job leads to the belief that they j ivere not experts. $hr ^orhrilir <?nquirrr. , Entered at the Postofflce in Yorkville as Mail Matter of the Second Class. YORKVILLE. S. C.i TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21,1911. The first thing: the devil did was to fix Adam and Eve and then he invented politics.?News and Courier. Which is to be taken as an admlsilon that politics originated in Charleson also. The Federation of Labor is raising i fund of $50,000 for the defense of :he McNamaras, charged with blowng up the office of the Los Angelos "' ~ "Am fa n-VlA |Q ' L lines. 1 lie qucouvu uun to, mtv .W roing to raise the money that the state )f California finds necessary for the irosecution. John Sharp Williams would make food presidential timber, himself, and f he were a candidate would feel somewhat reluctant to support any >ne else; but since John Sharp agrees vith us so perfectly as to the fitness >f Woodrow Wilson, there is no prom- ^ se of doubt or embarrassment in the . natteV. The racing association was run >ut of Jacksonville because of its gen rally demoralizing effect on the peo>le of the city. Many young men, ind old ones, too, went short with :heir employers and their business, ill on account of the races, and It was i common thing to see posted in ofIces and stores something like this: 'Any employee found betting on the aces will be discharged at once." Tust how much of this kind of thing ' Charleston will stand, or the state vill stand in Charleston, remains to >e seen. Newly discovered evidence, it was eported yesterday, has recently turn- ' ?d up that will put an entirely new < 'ace on the returns as to the Immor- i al Declaration. Though crushed to j ?arth, it is almost certain that Truth vill rise again.?Charlotte Observer. Yes, yes. We have never disputed ( he right of anybody to believe what ! hey pleased about that declaration; ! )ut what about the birth place of An- ' Irew Jackson?

We want to hear how it 1 jounds. 1 Yorkville has a creamery, conducted ' >n the co-operative plan, which is a < success. That's the way to make , things succeed in the south these lays. Form clubs. Co-operate.?AnJerson Daily Mail. That is the idea, co-operation. The ] people who became associated to establish the Yorkville creamery happen i to be people who know how to stand i together, and they have been co-oper- t iting. They have had some pretty < lard knocks; but from the way they I Milled themselves in shape under cir- i mmstances that would have thrown a ' ess resolute set Into hopeless panic, I :he future seems to be assured. For < ;here is no question now that the man- i igement is as solid as the backing. 1 We desire to offer just a few sug- ! testlons la connection with the co-op- ' ?rative demonstration work of the < iairy division of the department of igriculture. The department has put 1 it the disposal of the people of this ' locality experts to hire whom would ' ;ost a lot of money. The service of < these men are free of coat. Because, < However, their services are free does ' lot mean that they are without value, > Qn the contrary they are very valuable?more valuable than most people ire able to realize. For dairymen to < avail themselves of the services of Ihese men does not involve any ex- i pense that will not be fully warranted j by results. If our own people do not i 5et in on the ground floor, others will, ( md after a while this free service will no longer be available. The proper | thing is to snap up this offer of the ag- I ricultural department quick and make j the most of it. * * t Adjutant General Moore is quoted as saying that it is his purpose to sug- J raat in the osnoral nssemhlv that the 1 office of adjutant general be taken out Df politics through such changes as ivill be necessary to make the office an ippointive one. This will be a good dea. As a matter of fact there is oore or less doubt as to whether unler existing conditions the maintaintnce of a state militia is worth while my how; but if the militia is to be naintained, it should be maintained inder a system that will make the eople generally take more interest in t. The politics of the militia has leretofore been of a very small kind onfined almost entirely to the millia, and this is unsatisfactory. The hing should be so arranged that the eople who are responsible and who lave to pay the bills and bear the ills, hould have matters in shape where omebody would be compelled to take nore notice. The Yorkvllle Knquirer gives its eaders more news that is of real inerest and importance to them than nost other papers, not excepting the ladies, riven readers who have the neans to subscribe for a half dozen ladies and who have the time to read hem, are always able to flpd in The inquirer in addition to local news that to- dailies do not give, enough other ntcresting matter to make It worth heir while to subscribe. Many busy nen appreciate this fact and insist on :aklng The Enquirer for this reason. It is a generally admitted fact that here is more general information imong the country residents of York ounty than among the country resilents of any other county in the state. Widely traveled men of observation md experience say they have never un upon a better informed rural population anywhere. This condition of ifTairs is largely due to the fact that the people of 'Tofk county have long had the advantage of a county newspaper that is as good as the best. Justice In the Courts. There is much complaint in the failure of justice in our courts of law, the trouble being variously attributed by some to the jurors, by some to the unscrupulous smartness of the lawyers, by some to the perjury of witnesses, and by others to still other causes. The subject is one that Is as old as the hills; that has commanded the attention of the best and most thoughtTul men and women of the past, and Is as much alive today as it ever was. There are those who will defend the courts, claiming that they always dispense Justice and right; but this is not true. Those wh6 say it is true, sither have no adequate conception of ivhat right is, or deliberately say what they do not believe. As to what the specific trouble Is we do not know; but of this we are sure. There is but little if anything the matter with the law. The law In Its letter, does permit injustice; but Joes not intend anything of the kind. When it does wrong It is only because men who are themselves constitutionally wrong, take advantage of It and force it to cover conditions it was not intended to cover. They establish facts by flotion and :he law finds It difficult to distinguish between fiction established lacts and facts established in truth? "Al ? ? T-*.,x U/? *K1? no If rwotf thft I JOnHfUmeH. OUl UC lino ao u ma/, V**v aw is no better than the men whose Jut.v it Is to enforce it. It Is as pood ind that is about all. While this writer was discussing :his subject with a certain able, just ind distinguished circuit Judge, still >n the bench, he was surprised to find :hat his honor, while not admitting :he fallibility of the human element In :he administration o? the Jaw to the sxtent the writer sought to hold, was lot at all inclined to hold that the luman element was infallible. The nost surprising thing in the discussion ivas a declaration from the eminent lurist like this: "Certainly the administration of the law is imperfect. Since mankind is so mperfect, how could you look for per'ection in any of mankind's institu:ions. But the older I get, and thp nore I see of it, the more impressed I lip with one thing to which the critics >f the courts seem to attach little importance. That is this, the absolute rertainty of divine retribution for :hose who fail to measure up to their luty or who go beyond It. Yes, there ire those who are skeptical of that; put I have seen exhibitions of it in so many cases that I do not believe it fails in any case. It is infallible." This able Judge did not pretend to suggest that he or any other man rould fully comprehend the law of retribution; but he did mention one example like this: In a certain South Carolina county many years ago, a man soia a piece or iu.uu, mo iosi ui tils remaining possessions, specifying In the deed that the purchaser should forever respect and leave alone, a small plot in which the graves of the seller's ancestors were located. Within a few years the purchaser, who was it this time rich and powerful, began to use the gravestones for building material, converted the stone fence iround the burial ground to more practical uses and cultivated the soil jver the graves. Soon thereafter things began to happen to the new iwner of the land, first one thing and then another until before many years the various members of his family were stricken and died, and all his propei-ty was gone. Of course there are those who do not believe in the doctrine of divine retribution this side of the resurrection. They are able to prove their case to their own satisfaction by so many instances which in their estimation were deserving of retribution that did "not come, that they feel certain. But as the judge, who Is being quoted, remarked, "We do not know ill the facts. And where juries go wrong and knowingly render improper verdicts, it is pretty safe to say that such verdicts do not end the matter either with the beneficiaries of them >r with the juries. "There are offenses and offenses? gradations in offenses?moral, spiritual, temporal; but my observation and experience have taught me that about the most dangerous offense a man can commit, so far as the consequences to himself are concerned, Is an offense igainst the laws of ordinary Justice." ? Columbia. Xovembej* 18: While ?n route to Parksvllle Friday, Commissioner Watson was Intercepted ivith an urgent telegraphic request to proceed immediately to New York city to attend, in his capacity as president sf the Southern Ccotton congress, an Important conference to he held in that city at 10 o'clock Monday morning, relative to the development of the plan for maintaining the price of this year's cotton crop and raising it, if possible. Mr. Watson hastened back to Columbia, spending a portion of yesterday at his office, cancelled his engagements to address the cotton meeting in Abbeville Monday, and leaves early tomorrow morning for New York. In referring to the call tvired to him, Mr. Watson simply said that representatives of the Governors' Cotton convention, held in New Greans, on Monday would meet certain Jtrong bankers to discuss a plan of ictlon which had been approved by Mr. Harding, president of tbe Naional Bank of Birmingham, Ala., and >thers of the committee from the Southern Cotton congress, which plan, n its tentative shape, also had the mpport of Mr. Barrett, president of he National Farmers' union. Mr. Wilion was wired yesterday that Gov rnor O'Neal, of Alabama, and other ending members of the committees vere already in New York. Mr. Wation said the proposed conference was >ne of vital concern to the cotton prolucers, and as his presence was denanded by the parties of the gatherng, he was putting aside everything lse for the moment. He declined to lay anything in regard to the plan to >e discussed, other than to say that le hoped that it would be productive >f substantial results, and if it held >ut prospects, he would do all in his lower to see It made effective. Mr. IVatson said that a great deal of quiet lard work had been done by the comnittee of the congress during the past lix weeks, and for a fortnight the lownward trend of prices had been leld in check; that Wall street was inding an influence at work which ias thus far defeated the confident lopes of a quick drop to 7 cents coton, on doctored reports of an enornous crop or upon such silly rumors ts that "the czar of Russia had been issassinated." ami that really the fight or Justice to the producer and for lusiness-like methods of marketing otton bad but just begun.

One thing that helps Rock-Hill to grow is the fact that quarterly the town council publishes an Itemized statement of disbursements, showing exactly to whom the city's money has been paid, in what amount and what for. This policy creates confidence In the city government, and leaves no chance for successful kicking, except where successful - kicking is right. Twenty years ago the total expenditures of the town of Yorkville amounted to only about $3,000; since then they have increased about six times. ABOUT PEOPLE Miss Louise Guy of Lowryville visited friends in Yorkville this week. Miss May Starr has returned to her home in Yorkville. after a visit to relatives In Rock Hill. Mr. Webb L. Heath of Roanoke Va., visited his brother. Mr. R. E. Heath, in Yorkvllle. last week. Miss Marilla Ewart of Due West Female college spent several days this week at her home In Yorkvllle. DEMONSTRATION WORK. Mr. R. H. Mason, of the dairy division of the department of agriculture located at Clemson college, and Mr. J. H. McClaln of the same department. but direct from Washington, arrived last night, and are now making a round among the dairymen. From what Mr. Mason said to the: Enquirer this morning, the plan of their operations is very practical, and is very much along the line of thefarmers' eo-qperatlve demonstration, work. "What we want now," said one of these gentlemen, speaking for botji, "is a number of farmers, two, three, a half a dozen or as many as we can get, to agree to handle dairy cows, sheep and other live stock according to our advice and instructions. If the farmers will do this, we will visit Yorkvllle once a month, or as often as may be necessary, and we are sure that we will be able to convince them that dairying will pay. And we think, too, that we can teach you people a good many things you do not know." Messrs. Mason and McClaln went to McConnellsville this morning, In charge of Mr. Norrls, and they will visit other localities, giving preference, of course, to those who speak first for their services. LOOKS BETTER. Mr. J. T. Crawford, of McConnellsville, who is president of the Creamery association, and who has been standing by that enterprise through thick and thin, was in Yorkvllle yesterday. and expressed himself as more encouraged In the outlook than he has been since the stockholders were so badly jarred last summer. "I did not know much about the creamery then," said Mr. Crawford, and did not pretend to. I could only depend upon what I was told and, like others, I found that things were not exactly as they seemed. "Of course, I do not claim any credit, because I do not feel that I am entitled to any; but things are looking a lot better now, and the farmers who go into the business of supplying butter fat are going to be pleased with the result In the long run unless I am badly mistaken." Mr. Crawford is now milking seventeen cows, good, bad and indifferent, and sending their milk to the creamery at' the rate of 800 or 1,000 pounds a month. Some of his best cows are to come in shortly, and by next spring he hopes to be sending to the creamery twice as much cream as now. As a matter of fact, Mr. Crawford's position in the creamery matter has been a little peculiar. He had been a large feeder of beef cattle for several years, and he had quite a number of common beef cows on hand when the creamery started. He commenced milking the best milkers among these, and has since been adding dairy cows from time tp time. It is his purpose to stick until he has built up a f.rstclass dairy herd. As people wjio know him are aware, it is pretty hard to make Mr. Crawford talk, and what is quoted a^ove had to be pulled out of him; hut as the result of the conversation, jt is fair to say that his views are aboqt like this: "I am not exactly a dairyman. M.v inclination runs more In the direction of other farm operations, and I do not feel that I can give my personal attention to dairying. But I am doing the best I can, with the best help I can get. My idea is to develop a good herd, I want to make the yield of butter fat pay all expenses, If nnouihlp and In tim? I HpIIpvp this can be clone. But that la not the whole point with me. I came out very well feeding beef cattle principally for the manure, and I am Inclined to think that if there was any profit at all In that, by the development of a good dairy herd the profit ought to be doubled." WITHIN THE TOWN. ? Yorkvllle and Chester High school teams are to play football in Yorkvllle on the afternoon of November SO. Both sides are looking forward to the game with much interest. ? The Yorkvllle and Hickory Grove High school teams played in Yorkvllle last Friday afternoon. The game resulted in favpr of Yorkvllle by a score of 33 to 0. Fop the benefit of those who do not knpw, it is fair to say' that in football the score figures do m nonri thn roll flt'O nrciU' _ ucucpoai iij' ucijvi n;v mv iviaurv piy*'. ess of the respective teams. That the Yorkville team is superior to thaf qt Hickory drove in training qqd skill there is no question; but |t is also 4 fact that the Hickory drove team IS making fine progress, and is irrjproying rapidly. ? At the present rate of business, the outlook Is that the postoffice receipts will lack about $300 of aggregate ing enough to make the town ellgible for a public building, The amount required is $8,000. Of course it does not follow that the govern' ment would give a postoffice building even with receipts of $8,000; but under all the circumstances there should be no trouble about It. A good way to Increase the receipts would be the Hame means that have built up the business of most prosperous towns. "(Jet in touch with the people throughout the Immediate territory by sending them circulars and catalogues advertising your wares. Build up the postal receipts and your own business at the same time." ? Prof. Witherspoon of the graded school, has relented in his determination not to allow his boys to play the Hock Hill boys again. It appears that the main trouble over the game of some time ago was that the Rock Hill boys objected to Mr. Wltherspoon's playing In a certain position on the Yorkville team. There was also objection to the professors playing at ^all. The matter turned out as stated 'at the time. Prof. Witherspoon now takes thiB position: "I am willing to put my boys up against the Rock Hill team whenever they like. I am willing to agree that it shall be a fair and squard contest between high school boys on both sides. I am willing to meet Prof. Gunter and agree upon a disinterested outside umpire and referee and leavfc It to the boys to settle which school has the superior team. I believe Yorkville has the best high school team in the state. Some of the boys are light, but all of them are swift. They know the game and not onlv do they know it; but they play It." JOHN MURRELL. That note in the ictter of Rev. J. L, Oates from Troy, Tenn., about John Murrell, will no doubt be of interest to readers of the "Prodigal Judge," for while the story does not purport to be ^Viam n r\ f flnt Inn If /loo 1 c uiiici man a w uia v;i uv/vmn, aw uva.? with characters who really lived, and there Is in it almost as much history as there is fiction. As to whether or not there is any authentic, detailed record of Murrell's career extant at this time, is uncertain, so far as The Enquirer Is concerned; but the writer recalls the fact that an autobiography of Murrell written while he was in prison, was a feature 4of "The Journal of the Times," a newspaper published in Yorkville by the writer's grandfather between 1835 and 1840. The autobiography referred to rar through about a dozen Issues of the Journal of the Times, and was preceded with the explanation that the manuscript, had been purchased from a relative of Murrell, who brought il down into this country after the death of the noted outlaw, and offered it tc first one and then another of the wlde v s"attere<r publishers of the day until he finally effected a sale. This autobiography would be interesting for reference at this time. If il were still in existence; but unfortunately the files of the Journal of the Times was Included among1 those losl In the Are which destroyed The Enquirer office In 1890. There are however, still many middle aged and older men and women of this section who remember to have heard their fatheri and mothers, and especially old negroes, talking of the exploits of Johr Murrell, who in his day was more famous than Jesse James, Quantrell or other noted outlaws of America afterward became. In a letter to congress dated January 28, 1807, President Jefferson mentions a Mr. Murrell as having communicated to him through General Jackson certain Information aboul Apron Burr having nassed down the Mississippi river with a number ol boats, manned and provisioned for a long exnedltlon, and this Is supposed to be the Murrell of the "Prodigal Judge," except of course the man's true character as a murderous outlaw did not develop until long after that time. There used to be stories in circulation In this section about Murrell having stolen, deceived and run negroes away from their masters In Virginia and North Carolina and sold them to people In this section, and while stopping here he would manage to deceive other negroes to go away with him on promise of giving them their freedom, onlv to take them over into Georgia. Alabama and Mississippi to sell them. CIRCUIT COURT.

Barre, bptapist and plant pathologist of the Sqqth Carolina experiment station at Clemson ' college, writes to the inquirer as > follows on the subject of keeping po, tatoes: "During the past three years ex' periments (opking to the best m?th1 ods of keeping sweet pqtatoes have been carried op at the experiment sta1 tlon here, A careful study has beep made qf the rots pf potatpes, apd the conditions under which these roots thrive. We'flpd that the majority of the trouble |n keeping sweet potatpes comes from the presppcp of disease on the potatoes when they ape brought into the bank fro mthe field. The BiacK rpi ana ine sit'iu igi, uant pi which are very cqmmop throughout ' the state, are primarily field diseases. ' They attack the undepgrpund portions ' of the plant vyfri|e in the field and cause black apd scabby lqoklng areas on the surface of the tubers. When these potatoes are dug and stored in banks or houses these diseases spread through the entire lot and cause the potatoes to rot. The most Important thing, then, in connection with stor; ing potatoes is to see that you have absolutely healthy potatoes to begin with- Where the crop is planted from vines the potatoes are usually found to be very free from the disease. For , this reason It is well to bank the potatoes grown from vines separately from those grown from slips. This ! is especially advisable where you are not sure that the potatoes grown from slips are free from disease. "Potatoes which are free from disease usually keep well when banked in the ordinary way. Care should be exercised to keep the potatoes from becoming chilled at any time; the temperature in a bank should not be allowed to go below 50 degrees at any time during the winter. We find that where potatoes are once thoroughly chilled, it Is almost Impossible to keep them. The storage rots, such as the soft and the dry rot, both of which frequently occur in stored potatoes, make rapid headway on potatoes when they are once chilled. Any temperature below fifty degrees will chill the potatoes sufficiently to enable these rots to get a start. "Potatoes should never be banked tr\f iivn ironru In cimnPHoInn In the same bank. The fungi which cause the diseases In the field and the ones which cause the rots in storage, will live over in these old banks and will attack the new potatoes as soon as they are stored. The same soil apd the same s'jraw should not be uspd for two years In spccession for covering the banks fpr this same reason. Where potatp. houges arp used thpy should be thoroughly cleaned opt and the walls and floors sponged pr sprayed with a 3 per cent solption pf formaline or a 1 per cent spiutipn pf blue stone before ?he pptatoes are brought in. Where these precaptlons have been followed we tyave experienced very little difficulty In keeping sweet potatpes.'* : --Had a Close Call-?A combination pf clrcumatancea which facilitated repcue work and the moat heroic efforts of physicians and others saved the life of a middle-aged resident of Ruby, B.

Correnpondence The \ Vvllle Enquirer Troy, Tenn., November 15.?Any one making the trip from South Carolina to west Tennessee must of necessity be impressed by the difference in the general appearance of the people along the route. You do not have to go very far up Into North Carolina until you realize that you are among strangers. The faces, the complexion, the tone of voice all show a different admixture of blood. This lasts all through the mountains, then changes to a somewhat different type about Nashville, and this type lasts for 130 miles. But when you reach Obion county and look at the citizens of Union' City, Troy, Rives and Polk, or go out on the farms and meet the people there, you at once feel that you Oko/ib Irt Vnrl/ AAlintv sStfi nH In cxic: uav. iv in i wi i\ vumhv >?? a pulpit "here and look at the congregation and you are looking at a congregation of York county people. They raise corn arid wheat and hay and cattle, but no one would be surprised to hear them discuss the low price of cotton, or wonder whether It paid to raise corn, or ask how the creamery was coming on. Impressed by these observations, I have been making a few Inquiries, and am not surprised. to find that South Carolina has furnished a considerable proportion of the early settlers of this county, and although the tracing of kin is not my specialty, the following may be of interest to some of the people , back home. All the readers of The Enquirer are aware, of course, that there are many people In York county by the name of Barnett. I find that long ago there were Barnetts who moved from South Carolina and settled in this county, and today there Is probably a considerable number of people here who are related by ties of blood or marriage with our people. All A. R. P.s, especially are acquainted with the name Bonner. Our church paper, female college and our pulpits all know that name. That same name is here, and Is from our state. Of course, all are acquainted with the name Brlce in York, Chester and Fairfield counties. There are Brlces here In abundance, and they are the same connection. One was a doctor, one is the editor of the News-Banner, formerly of Troy, now of Uqlon City, besides others engaged in various occupations. I find Caseys here from South Carnlina trknthoe r<iln toil f a tVi a Immnr. tal "Casey at the bat," or not, I know not. I met a Mr. Curry the other day, one of a considerable number of that name, and they, too, are from Carolina. In 1795 Joel Enloe was born. In the upper part of South Carolina, and while still a boy came west He has left numerous descendants who live in this and adjoining counties. The families by the name of Faris, who live north of Yorkvllle and in the eastern part of the county, will find people here of their name, and some of them are of their blood; In fact, I find that I have an aunt here, whose maiden name was Farls, and a little boy plays in the yard here whose given name is Farls. The Moffatts are a numerous familyThey live here, at Rives and other places in the'county. They are related to the Moffatts and Wylles out home, and one of the number recently deceased is a close kinsmap of Mr. J. N. McDIll of Rickory Grove. Indeed. Miss Jane RcDdl, wpp was bprn in Chester district in 1799, married a Moffatt, ahd three qf her grandsons now liye ip Chester.

Speaking of names, yesterday \ found an old map entitled "An Abr original Map qf Tepnessee." I notice that it gives the name qf the Nollchutrky river, WPH known to all travelers nn the PHnchfleld and Ohio rail road as Nonaehunkee. which spunds like pure Ipdian. This map gives no Tennessee rlyer. The fiver we knpvy by that name Is called Kallamqchep, and one pf ifs branches ffi the easferp part of the stptp bears the name Tenasee. "The Prodigal Judge" Is being read around here now. In It Murrell figures to a considerable extent. A friend told me the other day that there is a spring abput ten miles from this place that still goes by the name of the Murrell spring, and that It got Its name from the fact that at this spot Murrell murdered a map for the money supposed to be in his pocket.

Columbia. November 18: Suit will be filed by the Carolina Glass company of Columbia against the Individual members of the former state dispensary commission to recover {21,905, which amount, owed to the company for supplies by various county dispensaries, was last year Impounded by the state commission, the idea of the commission being to apply this amount to the reduction of a. judgment found against the glass company for alleged overcharges against the pow defunct state dispensary.

Columbia, November 17: John Y. Garlington, convicted in November, 1910, In the Richland court, on the charge of breach of trust as president and treasurer of the Seminole Securities company, which Judgment 'was affirmed In a recent decision of the supreme court, was In Columbia this morning. It is stated that he came directly to Columbia from Chicago upon hearing of the decision or nis case by the supreme court, though his attorneys said today that they had nothing to say publicly about the case at this time. James Stobo Young, who was also convicted in this same case, has not yet arrived, though' ft is said he will be here when wanted. Young was secretary rtf the company. Garlington was sentenced to three years and Young one year on the public works of Richland 'county or imprisonment in the state penitentiary. The supreme court affirmed the decision of November 11, but the remittitur in the ease can not be sent down until the 24th, and until that time, it is believed, no steps will be taken looking to the apprehension of the two men. Both are from I-mrens. They are under a bond of $f>.(J0Q ( each for their appearance. - Gaffney, November 1*: Governor f Please appeared before a Gaffney ( audience for the tirst time tpday since 1 his election. He spoke in the court ] iiouse under the auspices of the local 1 tribe of Red Men. His speech was t for the most part devoted to the order. although he touched upon politics slightly and mentioned the different events which have excited Interest through the state. He referred to the Honea Path Incident, but stated that he could not discuss It on account of the presence of women. Some one in the audience asked that he express himself on the Anderson speech, and the governor replied that. "Governor or no governor, when a negro brute puts his hands on a white woman the quicker he is put six feet under ground the better." were his sentiments. He touched upon his pardon record, and defended it. and stated that while slttin? in an office In this city today a woman had approached him asking that ner husband, who is now serving a sentence on the chalngang, be released with a fine, and that Just as quickly as he could return to Columbia he Intended pardoning this man. Again referred to the women present when the Hasty case was mentioned, he said he could not discuss his reasons for pardoning the man who killed the two actors In this city on account of the women. The address was. on the whole, of a very conservative nature, and came as something of a surprise to some of the audience. Governor Blease was followed by Albert E. Hill and Ira C. Blackwood, both attorneys of the Spartanburg bar. They devoted their time to the order of Red Men. ? Columbia State: That the movement inaugurated in South Carolina two years ago to Improve the corn crop and eliminate the "one crop idea" nrevalllnar amnnff form?r? v>a? been effective is shown by the preliminary estimate received by Commissioner Watson from the United States department of agriculture. The report shows that while the corn crop in this state in 1910 was 44,733,000, the crop this year was 46,622,000. The average yield per acre last year, as estimated by the Federal government, was 18.6 bushels, and the average yield this year 18.1. The average yield for the past tdh years has been 12.8. "I will not challenge the estimates of the United States department of agriculture this year, as I did last year." said Commissioner Watson, "but I am satisfied that the average yield per acre is at least 22 bushels. I have traveled through the state more than all of the agents of the Federal government, and know that the average yield is above 18 bushels. I have received many reports from various sections of the state that would indicate a much larger yield. The report issued by the Federal department of agriculture shows the corn crop for the country to be 3,125,713,000 bushels for last year, as compared with 2,776,301,000 for this year. This report shows that, while the corn crop decreased for the entire country, yet the increase in South Carolina alone was about 1,000,000 bushels." ? In the United States circuit court at Charleston last Saturday, an order was signed by Judge Smith, restraining the proposed consolidation of the Maple, Dillon and Hamer mills, in the case of J. H. Dane A Co. and John M. Tallman against the Maple cotton mills and others. Under the order of the court the defendants are enjoined from transferring or delivering any of the property and assets of the Maple mills to the Dillon and Hamer mills and from consolidating or commingling the property and assets of the Maple mills with &e property and assets of the other corporations in pursuance of any purpose for effecting or carrying out the consolidation complained of, The defendants are further restrained from making, signing or executing deliyery of any bill of sale, deed, order or instrument of assignment or convev ance of the property, assets and franchises of the Maple mills to the other mills tp cany out the proposed cqn? solidatlpn. The compjilnants gre required tq flip Ip ten days a bppd fqr $600 to cpyer any damage which may be done individually op cqllectlvely to the defendants, upder tpe restraining ordep.

Columbia State: Ovep fl.OOQ.OOQ will be required for the state govern? ment pext year and It is estimated that the tax levy will apprqxlmgte flvg and three-fqupths mills. The appro? prlatlon bilj w|ll be madp pp by' the ways and means committee qf tpe house and pgsspd upon by the flnapce committee pfthe senate.

This report mpst be fllpd by the flrpt Tuesday In Japugpy. The report will assist the cqmptrqller in making h!* annual estimate qf expepses to the ways and means committee of the house. The fees from several of the state departments will be increased this year, apd the reports from the county auditors show gn Increase of several million dollars in me taxauie value of the property of the state. At the last session of the general assertibly the asylum commission was authorized to expend as much as $200,000 during the year on new buildings and lands at ''State park" to relieve the congested condition of the State Hospital for the Insane. This money was borrowed from the sinking fund commission of the state. There will have to be some provision made at the approaching session for a continuance of the work. All of the appropriation has not been expended by the commission. It is very likely that some provision for the future work on the buildings will be made at the coming session. ? Greenville, Xovember 17: Mr. W. D. Mayfield, a resident of El Paso.
