Scraps and .facts.
? The supreme court of the United
States on Monday set aside the decree
of the supreme court of Georgia, which
enjoined negro men from incorporating
a lodge in that state under the
name of Knights of Pythias. Chief
Justice White announced the opinion.
Justice Holmes announced a dissent-1
ing opinion. Chief Justice White, after J
reasoning that the supreme court, as
a Federal tribunal, had jurisdiction to
view the case, said that there was not|
a scintilla of evidence in the record to
show that the public had been deceived,
or property rights of the white
order been interfered with by the existence
of the colored order for twenty
years In Georgia. Justice Lurton concurred
in Justice Holmes's dissenting
opinion.
? President Taft In a special message
to congress last Wednesday asked for
an appropriation of $100,000 to be expended
by the revenue cutter service
in caring for volcano victims near
Kodiak, Alaska. In his message the
president declares that he is in receipt
of reliable Information that as the result
of the volcanic disturbance more
than 1,000 people are rendered homeless
and that unless aid can be given
them they are likely to suffer. There
were ho deaths at Kodiak Island from
the volcano and the ashes have stopped
falling, according to a message
today from Governor Clark. It is not
nrobable. he adds, that smaller vll
lages west of Kodlak and nearer the
volcanic area have suffered worse.
The people from Kodlak Island, who
are on the revenue cutter Manning,
are badly In want of government aid
and help must be had immediately,
according to a telegram from Deputy
Marshal Armstrong at Kodiak.
? The preliminary work of the Republican
national committee at Chicago,
preparatory to the organization of
the convention next Tuesday, has been
the centre of attention for more than
a week, and interest is unabated. The
main business of the committee is to
decide the disputes of the various contesting
delegations of which there are
a number. It developed early that the
policy of the committee, a majority of
which is for Taft, is to tollow the usual
custom under the circumstances
and decide everything along partisan
lines. The total number of contested
seats at the beginning of the sitting
was 274. Of these, 172 cases were
acted upon up to yesterday, 159 delegates
were credited to Taft and 13
for Roosevelt. This leaves 82 cases to
be acted upon. The Roosevelt people
feel that they have been treated with
great injustice, and there have been
frequent threats of a bolt. That there
will be a tremendous row In the convention
is confidently expected. *
? Lexington, Ky., June 13: Wesley
Edwards, a member of the Allen clan
which raided the court house at Hillsville,
Va., on March 14 and assassinated
the judge, the prosecutor and the
sheriff of the county, besides killing
and wounding a number of others, was
arrested this afternoon by A. B. Pettit,
chief of police of Clay City, forty
miles east of Lexington, if the belief
of the authorities of that place is correct.
The man, who gave his name
as Hatchley, and said he was from
West Virginia, answers the description
of the long sought fugitive In every
particular and Chief Pettit is now
awaiting an answer from the Virginia
authorities In regard to the prisoner.
Chief Pettit received a letter Tuesday
morning from Frank Wyatt of Jackson,
Ky.. who knows both the Edwards
and Aliens, saying that Sldna
Allen and Wesley Edwards were headed
towards Clay City and giving him
descriptions of the men. The chief
arrested his prisoner as ne was DouruIng
a freight train to leave for Clay
CitV.
? Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 12: Theodore
Roosevelt announced this afternoon
through Judge Ben B. Lindsay of
Denver, that he is in favor of woman
suffrage in this country and that the
platform which he will submit to the
Chicago, convention will contain an
unequivocal declaration to that effect.
Judge Lindsay spent two hours with
Col. Roosevelt today. The object of
his visit was primarily to persuade
the colonel to announce that he was
in favor of woman suffrage. Heretofore
Col. Roosevelt has merely said
that he believed the question of woman
suffrage should be submitted to the
women themselves for determination
whether they wished the ballot. As
the Judge was leaving Sagamore Hill
he said: "Col. Roosevelt has come out
decidedly for woman suffrage. He
was induced to take this definite stand
by what the women voters have done
in Colorado in opposition to Messrs.
Guggenheim and Evans; in Washington,
California and other western
states. Col. Roosevelt told me that he
was convinced from this record of the
advantage to the country to be gained
by placing the ballot in the hands of
women. The colonel also said that he
had definitely decided to incorporate
in the platform which he will submit
to the Chicago convention a woman's
suffrage plank." Col. Roosevelt when
questioned said that Judge Lindsay's
statement was entirely correct.
? Hendersonville, N. C., June 12:
Demonstrating their gratitude for a
verdict of net guilty, the seven defendants
tried for their lives for the murder
of Myrtle Hawkins wept for joy
today as they leaped to the farmer
jurors, who had been isolated from
their loved ones for twenty-five days
and kissed and embraced them while
the shouts of the audience rent the
court room. A member of the jury
stated after court that some of them
were in favor of murder in the second
degree but after several ballots the
verdict of not guilty was agreed upon
this morning shortly arter 9 o'clock.
The defendants, Dan W. McCall, and
daughter, Mrs. Beatrice McCall, and
her husband, A. B. McCall, George and
Boney Braaiey, airs. i^izzie ouan anu
Mrs. Nora Britt were indicted under
four counts but were not found guilty
under any of them. The ringing of the
court bell was the signal for the rendering
of the verdict and when it was
received the court room was taxed beyond
its capacity by men. women and
children, both white and colored, all
anxious to learn the verdict of the
jury. Commenting on the outcome of
the case Judge Foushee said to a newspaper
representative that although
the county had incurred considerable
expense in trying to clarify the mystery
the money was well spent in
view of the fact that the country had
been clearly shown, that Henderson
county citizens and officers were not
trying to cover up one of the most
mysterious and horrible crimes of
modern times. He vouched for the
fact that a most exhaustive effort had
been made to solve the mystery. Solicitor
Johnston stated that he had
spent considerable time in trying to
ferret out the case, but despite whatever
view would be taken of his actions,
he felt that he had only performed
his duty. Judge Foushee declined
a motion made by defendant's counsel
for an order authorizing the county
authorities to pay the expenses of
some of the defense witnesses, on account
of the poverty of some of the
defendants.

campaign which comprehended a simultaneous

occupied by the Insurgents of heavy
columns of infantry, accompanied by
artillery and rural cavalry. The character
of the region, which is mountainous.
covered with heavy forests
and destitute of practicable roads, appears
to make such tactics impossible.
The military situation closely resembles
that in 1897-98, when small bodies
of Cuban patriots, operating in the
same locality, long successfully evaded
pursuit by much larger bodies of
Spanish regulars. The difficulty of
the military operations has greatly increased
because of the torrential rains
now reported prevalent in a large part
of the island. Captain Kline, commanding
the United States navel station
at Guantanamo, on June 5, dispatched
a large body of marines Into
the interior of Cuba, for the protection
of American life and property.

YORKVIIXE. S. C.i
FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 92. I
The Post has, no doubt, taken cognizance
of the fact that the editors are
hankering after the privilege of being
bitten by Charleston mosquitoes again
next year.
m ,
We are inclined to think that Dr.
Joseph F. Siler is about right as to
this pellagra business. The scare was
uncalled for and unnecessary; but we
submit that It is not fair to charge
the responsibility to the newspapers.
If it did not come from the doctors, we
are unable to locate the responsibility.
The Columbia Record quotes Felder
as saying that he is not afraid of
Blease and declaring that he will go to
Baltimore with the balance of the
delegation; but he did not say whether
or not he will try to go through South
Carolina. However, we do not believe
Mr. Felder is going to try to do anything
of the kind.
It is beginning to look as if the
preferential primaries, so called, do
not count for nearly so much as there
was reason to suppose. When the
manipulators of the steam roller go to
reviewing the expressed wishes of the
people they reverse the work of their
theoretical masters whenever and
however they please. Government of
the people, by the people, for the people?
Bah!
Editor Wade H. Harris, who has for
several years past been making such
an excellent newspaper of the Charlotte
Chronicle, has been promoted to
the editorship of the Observer. We
think that is about the right thing.
Mr. Harris is an ideal newspaper man.
He is generally at one with the constituency
of the paper he edits, and his
writing is always interesting, entertaining.
instructive and sound. Without
any reflection on" anybody, and
indeed without any invidious personal
comparison, here is our confident
prediction that the Observer will
become more prosperous and influential
than it has ever been.
Tom Felder need have no fear of being
convicted, no matter what sort of
evidence the governor has against him,
if he can only be tried by a Richland
jury.?Bamberg Herald.
According to our view of this situa
tion, a jury that would find a
verdict of not guilty in the label case
would probably find Felder guilty.
What we mean to say is that the label
case seemed to warrant a verdict
of guilty. The evidence offered against
Hub Evans was simply ridiculous, and
no jury would have been warranted in
returning a verdict of guilty on such
a showing, however convinced every
member of that jury may have been of
'he guilt of the accused on genera
principles. But what we have most
curiosity about in the Felder case is
to see whether or not the attorney
general would cause it to be nol
prossed.
The editor of The Enquirer talked a
little politics to several editors in
Spartanburg this week and gathered
about this: First, while all of them
prefer Jones to Blease, none of them
seem to be enthusiastic, and all admit
that Blease is going to get a good
many votes from a class of people
"that you would not think would support
him." There was no painstaking
effort td get the views of all the editors;
but of the half a dozen or more
talked to, not one seemed to think that
there was any issue other than a personal
one. Several, however, were disposed
to agree that a majority of the
people who were strongest for Tillman
in the early nineties now indicate their
intention of voting for Blease. Upon
the whole, however, the editors seemed
to be taking very little Interest in
politics. Of the several with whom
the editor of The Enquirer discussed
the subject, not one brought the matter
up first.
The South Carolina Press association
met in annual convention in
Spartanburg Monday night, concluded
its business Tuesday afternoon and
adjourned to hold next year's meeting
in Charleston. The association was
not so largely attended as usual, but
papers submitted were rather above
the ordinary, those by Neils Christensen
on the "Newspaper Man's Duty
and Opportunity with Regard to State
Legislation," and by W. E. Gonzales
on "Journalistic Ethics" being especially
strong and thoughtful. The social
features of the occasion were as usual
quite pleasant. There was a reception
by the ladies of Spartannurg at the
Country club and the Spartanburg
Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet.
Both functions were most enjoyable.
Several towns, Orangeburg, Rock Hill,
Anderson and Charleston requested the
privilege of entertaining the association
at its next convention, but the
invitation of Charleston was accepted,
largely because the attendance has
keen better in that city than elseof

the Americans are the greatest people
on earth; but not nearly as great as
they will be when In the fulfillment of
their destiny they really and truly become
a self-governing people. Mr.
Grasty believes that the American
people realize what and why they are;
hut like a slothful, self-confident Individual,
are taking their own time
about doing what they know they can
do at any time. Twenty-five years ago
an address like this of Mr. Grasty's
would likely have been denounced as
the most patent and dangerous demagogy;
but such doctrine coming today
as it does from the editor of one of
the most able, powerful and dignified
journals of America, may very well be
taken as the absolute truth. And the
man who is able to get most out of
Mr. Grasty's address will have something
well worth while.
The following appears in the News
and Courier of Tuesday, having been
sent by W. F. Caldwell from Spartanburg
"Monday night:
State Chairman John Gary Evans
left this afternoon ror coiumDia, 10
be present at the meeting- of the executive
committee tomorrow. Asked as
to the outlook for Judge Jones's success
in his race for governor, the former
governor said: "Everything looks
good. I think everything will be all
right."
Now if that had been said by Mr.
Thurmond, manager for Judge Jones,
there would be nothing In it to occasion
a second thought. It would merely
be taken as talk characteristic of a
campaign manager; but ?omlng from
the chairman of the Democratic party,
it has other significance. As The Enquirer
understands it, and it cannot
possibly get rid of the idea, it Is the
business of 'the chairman of the Democratic
party, no matter what may be
his personal preferences to hold the
balances with even and impartial justice.
But from this it is to be assumed
that Mr. Evans is an 'open and
vowed partisan of one candidate as
against the other.
In his admirable paper arguing the
establishment of a code of Journalistic
ethics in accordance with a tangible
standard, Mr. W. E. Gonzales made
the point that newspapers are libeled
oftener than they libel. We believe
this is correct. Among the things the
writer has observed during an experience
of twenty-flve years, is that most
crooked people dread the press with
more terror than they do the pulpit,
pistols, or any other consideration.
Evidence of this fact has been manifested,
In many ways unmistakable in
their meaning. And it is only the rottenest
of people who are really afraid
of the press. Every honest man knows
that he cannot be hurt by publicity,
even through lies. He knows that the
thing that hurts Is the truth, and the
only way he can think of to escape the
consequences of Imth is to denounce
the truth as a lie. This is why the
average politician is so quick to try
to slander a newspaper. Always afraid
that the newspaper might do what it
omrht to do. the danger of exposure is
ever apparent to the guilty politician's
eyes. Of course it is not to be urged
that newspapers are always perfect;
(that they seldom do actual wrong deliberately
with malice aforethought;
but there Is a certain class of people
who have to do with the newspapers
who are worse sinners than the news,
papers. ? - -
Newspaper Business and Ethics.
There was more emphasis on the
practical, serious side of newspaper
making at the recent meeting of the
South Carolina Press association than
at any previous meeting of which we .
have any recollection, and the interest
in the subject was probably more
marked.
There were four especially strong
papers touching along this line?those
of Editor Gonzales, of the Columbia
State, Editor Christensen of the Beaufort
Gazette, Editor Jordan of the
Dillon Herald and Editor Erwin of
the Chester Reporter.
The paper of Editor Gonzales seeking
to crystallize sentiment in the direction
of establishing a proper standard
in journalistic ethics, and the paper
of Editor Jordan calling attention
to the fact that so many papers are (
being operated without regard to ordinary
business principles, were probably
of most striking interest.
Editor Gonzales sought to Impress
the idea of moral responsibility both
on the part of the editor and the public,
and Editor Jordan sought to (
awaken the editors to a proper con- i
ceptlon of their business responsibility.
These two papers although along
different lines seemed calculated in a
way to teach about the same practical
truths. At least, it Is clear enough
that advancment in one line leads to (
progress in the other and vice versa, i
While it is a shop question about j
which the public cares, very little be- j
cause it is not concerned from that |
standpoint, it is nevertheless a fact !
that editors and publishers in South ,
Carolina have paid but little atten- j
tion to the economic side of their bus- i
iness in times past, and most of the '
very noticeable improvement that is (
to .be credited to the press of South i
Carolina during the past ten years Is i
traceable to better and sounder busi- J
ness methods.
It seems that anybody ought to be I
able to understand the elementary :
principles of a productive business of
whatever nature?that unless receipts j
exceed disbursements the business ]
cannot last. It is a fact, however. :
that up to only a few years pj^st most j
of the country publishers seemed to be <
absolutely oblivious of this principle, 3
and it is a fact also that many of j
them are as yet only beginning to |
grasp a very faint idea of it.
That there has been much improve- :
ment in the business methods of the j
country publishers within the past ;
dozen years is not to be denied. Most j
of the publishers can see it by taking j
a look backward and it is not too much ,
to say that the public realizes it also. ,
While there may be difference of opln- .
ion as to the reason, we are inclined to J
trace much of the improvement to the !
widespread adoption of more expen- 1
sive printing machinery, particularly .
the linotype, and we reason like this: ]
Nearly every country editor who has <
ever I.ought a linotype has of necessi- ,
t.v done so on credit, and immediately ]
realizing the inexorable conditions j
of the obligations necessary to be in- '
curved under the circumstances, he '
began to make it his care to have people
pay him for everything that ought j
to be )>aid for. 1
Every newspaper in South Carolina (
that has purchased a linotype machine }
has materially increased its fixed f
charges by the step; but we arc in- '
dined to the view that each one so j
doing has at the same time increased I
its income, and placed its general bus- s
iness on a higher plane.
^And we are inclined to think that r
^^anu> condition has had its intlu- c
ence on the ethical uplift that iSj
sought by Editor Gonzales. Back li\
the days when so much less capital
was required for the operation of a
newspaper, the feeling of responsibility
was much Icbs than It is now, and deliberate
mendacity was very much
more common. Of course it is not to
be suggested that the paper of Editor
Gonzales came too late or anything
of that kind. There is still much
room for Improvement and Editor
Gonzales's able discussion of the subject
will undoubtedly hasten that Improvement.
Although at first blush the subjects
discussed may appear to be of rather
more Interest to the publishing craft
than to the public; we beg leave to
suggest that In our view such Is not
the case. The public is the first and
greatest gainer from any advance In
the ethical standards of the press and
Just as a half starved servile preBs Is
a positive menace to the well-being of
society, the benefit of a prosperous
self-respecting, Independent press is
simply beyond estimation.
The Libel Law.
The libel law upon which the South
Carolina Press association has been
working for a number of years past
came up for discussion at the annual
meeting in Spartanburg this week, and
it was decided that there would be no
abatement of the efforts of the association
to get the law on the Btatute
books.
It will be remembered that a libel
law was passed by the general assembly
at Its recent session; but the governor
vetoed it because of what we
believe the opportunity It afforded for
political capital, and the general assembly
falling Into the trap of losing
its head over the famous message,
failed to pass the act over the governor's
veto.
The situation it seems to us Is very
well illustrated in the familiar dodge
of the small boy, who, when pursued by
a yellow-jacket throws off his cap so
the insect will go after it instead of
continuing after himself.
It will be remembered that accepting
the policy of unfair treatment pursued
by some of the papers against him
as the gauge of battle, Governor
Blease has been seeking to make capital
against all the press, good, bad
and indifferent, and in the particular
matter of that veto message of the libel
bill, he threw a lot of vitriol and
one thing and another that caused the
legislators to lose sight of the real
issue. In our view the governor did
what he did more to make monkeys
out of the legislators than anything
else, but whether that was the purpose
or not, that was the result, for
when they gathered themselves together
and wasted a lot of good energy
in voting to expunge some meaningless
twaddle from the statute books,
they allowed the meritorious law
about which all the fuss had developed
to die under the veto. There was a
good deal in the whole situation that
was really laughable, and we have no
doubt that Governor Blease laughed
heartily.
The libel law that the State Press
association wants is perfectly fair and
proper. The editors are only asking
for justice for themselves and the
public. They do not seek to take advantage
of anybody. This thing does
not apply to criminal libfel at all, but'
only civil libel, and the main feature
of it Is that when through misinformation
or otherwise a newspaper pub
Iisnes WIY&l ll Ut-Iirvco uc u. iuv.kf
but which afterward was found out to
be hurtful to somebody, the newspaper
can by proper and satisfactory'
correction claim such mitigation of
damages as might otherwise go against
a presumption of malice. There Is no
desire on the part of the newspapers
to escape any actual damage that
might be occasioned, and no request
for anything of the kind, and neither
do the newspapers ask for any softening
of the present very severe penalties
for criminal libel. They are only
asking for what is right, fair and Just
to themselves and the public alike and
they are asking for it in behalf of the
public as well as themselves.
Of course in a matter like this, so
illy understood by the public, It Is
easy for designing people to hide the
real issue by misrepresentation, by the
resort to actual slander against the
press; but outside of that there stands
in the way no good reason why this
law should not be passed.
The proposed law does not give and
it is not intended to give, a single
right or privilege that the press does
not now exercise, or that it will not
continue to exercise.
THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
There are to be Two Circuses on the
Road at the Same Time. c
The state executive committee met
in Columbia on Tuesday, arranged a
schedule of assessments on the various
candidates to defray campaign expenses,
and arranged also a separate
canvass by the candidates for United
States senator, congress and solicitor.
It is calculated by the committee
that at least $4,000 will be required to
run the campaign and as the prospective
number of candidates is few the
assessments levied are large. The various
candidates have been assessed
as follows: For United States senate,
$250; for congress $200; for governor,
$100; for railroad commissioner, $75;
for other state offices $50; for solicitor
$50.
The rules permit the arrangement of
a separate itinerary for candidates
for United States senate, congress
and solicitor and in view of the number
of candidates in the race this was
arranged. The schedule was adopted
as follows:

YORK AT CLEMSON.
The commencement exercises at
Clemson college this year were of unusual
Interest and Importance, especially
because of the largest graduating
class in the history of the institution
and. the presence of a host of visitors
from all parts of the state. Diplomas
were awarded to ninety-three young
men and York county had quite an
important place in the picture.
One of the three senior class orators
was a young man, Claude B. Farls, of
Rock Hill, who as the Yepresentative
of the Palmetto society delivered an
oration on the subject, "The Carolina
Mansion," and he acquitted himself in
a manner that was creditable to his
society and his county.
Among the York graduates were the

WITHIN THE TOWN.
? A distinct shock of earthquake
was felt in Yorkville last Wednesday
morning at about 5.30 o'clock. There
was a slight rumble and a tremor of
the earth; but no damage was done.
Only those who have experienced
more pronounced shocks in the past
would have been able to identify the
nature of the disturbance.
? Secretary Witherspoon of the
Board of Trade has been putting in
the week soliciting the co-operation of
the. business eople in getlng out a
booklet to illustrate the attractions of
the town and to be published in connection
with the public school catalogue.
The basis on which the cooperation
of the business people is solicited
is highly advantageous to them
especially in that no charge whatever
is being made to cover the cost of the
labor of solicitation and compilation.
? A party of eight young gentlemen
and ladies of Sharon will present Topsy-Turvy
at the Opera house next
Tuesday night. This is quite a laughable
comedy that has been presented
twice, first at Sharon and then at
Hickory Grove. It made a decided hit
at both places. Mr. A. M. Erwin was
over from Sharon yesterday to engage
the opera house and make other arrangements,
and he promised that if
the Yorkville people will come out the
little company will give them a show
well worth while.
GROWING TOWNS.
While the material growth of York
county is nothing like what most of
the people would like to see, still there
is a good deal more development going
on than the average citizen realizes,
as is very easily evidenced, even by
riding over the railroads.
Yorkville, although not making so
much progress in population as some
of the other towns, has added very
considerably to her growth during the
past few years, and people who have
not made the rounds of the outskirts
recently will find a number of new
houses standing on hitherto vacant
lots.
Rock Hill is building up steadily
and surely and also quite rapidly. Cottages
are going up In all parts of the
town and also many more pretentious
residences are being added. Mr. W. J.
Roddey has just given out the contract
to Messrs. J. J. Keller & Co., for
the erection of a splendid new home
to cost when completed close to $25,000
or $30,000. The contract price is
something over $20,000.
People who used to be familiar with
Clover only as a small village would
be very much surprised at the tremendous
development of that town
even during the past five years. The
erection of the handsome new school
building and the oil mill plant has
been accompanied by the going up of
many handsome cottages and the town
has grown to an extent that cuts an
Important figure.
Most of the business portion of the
town of Sharon, originally made up of
wooden huiidings has been replaced
by brick and the handsome new school
building recently completed has added
an impetus to the building spirit that
promises to continue in evidence for
some time to come.
The town of Hickory Grove has
made scarcely less progress than the
town of Sharon. Where ten years ago. i
It coifld not Impress the visitor, as i
jther than a very insignificant hamlet |
ivith scant prospect of ever becoming <
anything else, it now shows from the.
passing trains a sky line sufficiently i
ong to attract interested attention.
There are some few signs of im- I
jrovement and development around <
luthriesville and McConnellsville also i
nit the progress here is not nearly so I
evident as In the other towns mentioned,
or even In Fort Mill which is
moving along about as slowly as Yorkvllle.
NORTH AND 80UTH ROAD.
A trip out from Yorkvllle up the old
Lincoln road to the point where It
leaves the Armstrong Ford to go In
the direction of Clover and thence
across to Filbert, returning by a recently
cut new road across to the
King's Mountain road, back to the
starting point shows a wonderful improvement
In the prospect as compared
with the time before changes now
in progress were undertaken.
The writer made the round described
yesterday afternoon In company with
Mr. C. F. Sherer in his automobile,
and completed the entire distance of
ten miles in a little more than thirty
minutes. The trip covered practically
all the work that has been done on
the new north and south road between
Yorkvllle and Clover, as well as the
new shortcut from Filbert to Yorkvllle.
Work on the north and south road
has progressed from a point about a
half mile north of the corporate limits
of Yorkvllle to the residence of Mr.
T. N. Thomasson. about four miles
north of town. The road has been relocated
and graded so as to get rid of
the very difficult hills at the Dobson
old place, and at Fishing Creek, and
the improvement as compared with
former conditions Is very great. When
the work of surfacing up with sand
and clay has been completed, it will
be easily practicable for a team of
mules to make good time with a load
where an empty wagon has been hard
to pull.
The newly opened road from Filbert
to the Quinn place has been brought
through with comparatively small ex
pense. It Is easily as good as the longer
route by way of King's Mountain
Chapel and cuts off pretty nearly a
mile of distance between Yorkvllle
and Filbert. Mr. W. B. Keller and
others who had to do with the opening
of this road propose to extend It on to
connect with the north and south road
at the trestle and they predict that
later on when the north and south
road has been completed according to
specifications, most of the travel from
Clover and beyond will come to Yorkvllle
by way of Filbert Instead of by
way of the Lincoln road route.
WANTS COMPETITION.
Mr. J. Edgar Poag, the pioneer real
estate agent and a generally acknowledged
hustler in that business, spent a
few hburs In Yorkvllle last Wednesday
evening on his way to his headquarters
in Rock Hill after a business
trip up the C. &. N.-W, and while here
handed out some characteristic dope
to The Enquirer.
Mr. Poag Is a persistent and Inveterate
Rock Hill boomer and finds It
next to impossible to talk long about
any other town without putting Rock
Hill in comparison; but still It will
have to be admitted that he is reasonably
liberal in most things, and Is
willing to give credit elsewhere when
confronted with facts that cannot be
Ignored.
For Instance, In discussing Rock
Hill's public Improvements he had to
admit that Yorkvllle led his town in
the matter of water works, sewerage,
light and power, and concrete side
walks. After all these things were put
up to him, he dodged not a little with
the claim, "What about our street
car line, fellow? We've got a street car
line, and you ain't got nothing like
that yet.
"I'll tell you what you need over
here," said Mr. Poag. "You need more
competition. You need more banks,
more real estate agents and more
newspapers. If you had mora competition
you would have to go alter business.
You would have to rattle the
shoe leather along the streets and that
is what It takes to get business. You
never saw a one-business town that
got anywhere. You want two or more
concerns in everything. That la what
It takes to make you hustle."
A bystander banteringly asked Mr.
Poag if he didn't want the court house.
He replied no with much emphasis.
"There is something the matter with
all these court-house towna I don't
know what It is unless it is because
they have too many loafers. We've got
enough loafers as it is and don't want
any more. There are people over in
our town that want the court house;
but I am not one of them. I would
rather go down into my pocket to keep
it away. No court house for me?nol
if I can help it."
Next Mr. Poag drifted to the real
estate subject In Rock Hill. He told
of a number of cases where lots had
been sold for only hundreds of dollars
it lew > rill 3 cL&U , UUl Wllltll ill C I1U?
worth thousands of dollars. Referring
to the property of the Rock Hill Land
and Town Site company now being
advertised In The Enquirer, he said
that although he was not financially
interested in it, it was one of the most
attractive investment propositions that
he knew of. He recited the history of
a number of lots that had been sold in
this part of town during a number of
years past showing that they had
doubled In value several times over
and Insisted that they are still cheap.
"The only trouble with this country
now," said Mr. Poag, "is that it has
not got the banking facilities sufficient
to meet the demands of some of us
fellows who know how to do things.
The banks are all clever enough; but
they Just have not got the money. As
we get more money available you are
going to see real estate go higher and
higher.

Insurances Commissioner McMaster
has apportioned for the treasurer the
sum of $32,772.64 in additional insurance
licenses to be divided among the
counties of the ctate. Of this amount
York county gets $1,040.60.
Drennan Verdict Affirmed.
Columbia State, Wednesday: The
supreme court in a decision by Chief
Justice Gary yesterday affirmed a verdict
of $15,000 secured In the York
county court by Lida E. Drennan
against the Carolina division of the
Southern railway for injuries received
by Leonard B. Drennan. The action
was brought to recover $25,000 damages,
actual and punitive, for personal
injuries alleged to have been received
by Drennan at Wilson street
crossing in the city of Rock Hill. In
October of 1911, Leonard B. Drennan
died of tpphoid fever and the action
was subsequently continued by Lida
E. Drennan, his widow. The case was
tried at the November term, 1911, and
a verdict for $15,000 was returned.
The Firemen's Convention.
Rock Hill, June 12: The local committee
on arrangements is busy mak- ;
ing final preparations for the annual
convention of the Firemen's association,
which will be held in this city on
June 25-26-27. In a few days the
business houses will begin to decorate i
with the firemen's colors and by the
latter part of next week will present 1
a gala appearance. An electric sign i
bearing the word "Welcome" will be I
placed across the street In one or 1
mnro nlonoa Tha InHlpfltlnnq a ro thflt
the attendance will be the largest In
the history of the organization and
there are a large number of entries in
the various contests for prizes. A number
of North Carolina firefighters will
be on hand and It Is expected that several
teams will be here to compete
for the Interstate prizes. The local
company will likely take part In the
Interstate reel contest. The team Is
practicing daily and the boys are getting
their work down to a fine point.
? Charleston experienced a shock of
earthquake at 5.30 o'clock Wednesday
morning which did no damage but
scared a number of people who were
awakened with the rocking of the
buildings. The wave seemed to move
from west to east, and to have been
preceded with a report, as of an explosion
and then a roar accompanied
the upheaval, and trembling of the
ground. It was the first shock which
has been felt here since April 17, 1907.
In Summervllle and on the neighboring
islands, the shock was felt. It was
quite severe in Summervllle, where
several chimneys were knocked down,
plastering fell and no little glassware,
crockery and other fragile articles
ivere broken In being thrown from
shelves and other elevated places.
Dispatches from a dozen low country
towns and from several towns north of t
Columbia also report the shock: but ?
It appears that no damage was done s
In any of the towns. t
ISSUE NOT PER80NAL.
Question Whether 8tste is to be 8urrendered
to Corporation Control.
The frogs once upon a time, so the
story runs, clamored for a king, and
the stork possessing a loud voice and
lordly mein announced himself as a
candidate. He was elected and immediately
turned all the storks loose on
the frogs, who were speedily devoured.
This may not be exactly a'la
Aesop, but It illustrates fairly well the
condition in South Carolina.
The great, living, vital issue today
before the American people is whether
this country shall be a trust governed
oligarchy or a republic where
all shall be equal. The trusts were so
badly stirred up during Roosevelt's
second term, that they are making a
determined efTort to capture the machinery
of both parties. It does not
matter to them whether a state be Republican
or Democrat, so tha trusts
control. They are represented In each
state by the sharpest, shrewdest lawyers
money can buy, and every time
there is a vacancy they slip one of
these corporation lawyers on the
bench, so that today they absolutely
control the Federal courts.
Recently they saw what they regarded
a chance. Blease endeavored
to get the general assembly to inquire
into one of these great trusts?the
mill merger, and they set about to find
some way to punish him for having
such insolence as to question their
methods, so they went down to the
supreme court room of this state and
whispered softly into the ear of the
chief Justice, that if Blease was reelected
and got a Blease legislature
with him it would mean that his own
head would fall into the basket at the
next session of the general assembly.
They showed him the governor's mansion.
and then down a long vista the
United States Capitol, wealth, ease and
honor. . The gray beard and hoary
head of the chief Justice was no protection
against their insidious wiles.
With one hand in the attorney for the
Seaboard railroad and the other In the
hand of the president of the mill merger
. he Is led Into a dark
closet, where unseen hands strip the
robe from his shoulders, and he comes
forth to wallow In the mire and dirt
of politics.
Is a governor, courts and legislature
subservient to trust influence the price
the state is to pay to get rid of
"Bleaselsm?" His opponents must regard
him a bigger man than even his
friends do. They magnify his faults,
and by this means they seek to capture
the state. Their first step was to
get control of the party machinery,
and to adopt a rule which gives them
the power to deprive many from voting
in the primary. We refer to the
challenging rule which makes the
county executive committee the determiner
of the challenges. This is the
serious part of the business. It looks
as If each hired trust attorney was
assigned his part in the conspiracy.
The mill merger, and railroads in
control of the legislature and the governor,
with the party machinery in the
hands of the attorney for the Western
Union and Bell Teiepnone company,
we predict the rules will be further
changed so that there will be enough
ignorant whites disfranchised to keep
this trust employed crew In control
for the next twenty years.
If Blease Is re-elected and he does
not give satisfaction he can be gotten
rid of In two years. The most he can
do Is to make appointments and to exercise
his pardoning power, but the
great moneyed Interests which are apparently
at this time backing Jones,
cannot be throttled except by revolution,
once let them get us by the
throat. This element does not care
particularly for Judge Jones personally,
but at this time he Is the only Instrument
they can use to pry from the
people's grasp the control of the government.
Had Blease permitted them
to have their way unmolested, they
would not have taken the deep interest
they have manifested, but his agitating
the matter of their efforts to
combine the Industrial interests so as
to control the price of cotton and labor,
aroused them to squelch him now
that his successor will fear to follow
his example.
We differ with many. It is not a
question of Blease or Jones, but the
most serious crisis since 1876. Judge
Jones is perhaps unaware of how he
is being used, did they tell him, he
would resent it and turn upon them
witn lnaignauon. Me nas Deen renrea
for fifteen years or more In a judicial
cyclone cellar, but If he had studied
the methods of those who are behind
him in this movement, and watched
the developments at the state convention
he must have seen a vision of
what is to be.?Manning: Times.
THE FARMER VOTE.
Chas. 8. Barrett Talks as if Ha Understands
the Subject Thoroughly.
The current presidential year, writes
Chas. S. Barrett, will probably see
more glittering promises peddled to the
farmers than upon similar occasions
in many decades. On both sides, and
the factions on both sides, the contest
is hot and close. They are playing to
every element to boost their stock. And
the farmer vote will be coaxed and cajoled
and hypnotized by every device
known to ancient-and modern politics.
I have made it no secret that I have
been able to be of service to the farm- ,
ere of this country because I took the !
promises they made at every hallufejah
meeting to overturn the universe
with several grains of salt
If you want to get the most results
out of the politicians who will be appealing
for your votes from this time
forward, I recommend a similar course >
to you.
There is, however, a difference between
the politician glibly offering all
sorts of promises and the farmer voluntarily
offering to do anything under
high heaven to further the common ,
cause. . 1
Nine-tenths of the promises the
politicians make with a smiling face
are spoken simply for the purpose of
catching votes. There is no desire or
intention to redeem them.
Work a farmer up to a boiler-bursting
pitch of enthusiasm at a local, or ,
county, or state convention, and he is '
prodigal with his promises?but, at the <
time, he honestly believes he will keep
them.
Later, when he reaches home and
the "feeling" has died away, and he
gets busy patching the fences, or repairing
the roof or keeping the grass
out of the cotton, the promise oozes <
out of his mind like water out of a <
leaky barrel. Sometimes, too, he gets <
suspicious of his officials, jealous of i
other members, dissatisfied because j
the Union hasn't reformed the uni- .
verse over-night, and considers himself
absolved from his pledge. It all
?A 4h4nf* Ir? tVi A lnno
amounts to me same imug >v..0 ,
run. * ^
Because the two parties, with all ,
their factions, are on their toes, politl- J
cally speaking, this year, fighting for
life and public favor, It is one of the (
best opportunities recently presented
for the farmer to secure those things, j
In a legislative sense, for which he j
has long been contending.
When the situation crystallizes, lat- (
er on, I may have something to say .
touching what the politicians offer the
farmers, and how much reliance can
be placed upon specific pledges.
It Is as yet too early to gauge the 1
line-up, and it is the part of wisdom t
to see what congress is going to do be- 3
fore we Jump to conclusions, or adopt
hasty action. 1
I do not look for the present ses- 1
slon to accomplish wonders in the way
of legislation of any sort, since both
parties In house and senate are jug- 1
Sling for advantage, and have an eye
more to catching popular favor than
to enacting measures genuinely constructive.
1
But first, last and all the time, bear 2
in mind that when the temptation 2
seizes you to get over-heated about
some particular political favorite
keep your vest down, your head cool
ind treat the candidate bidding for
favor with Just as much suspicion as
rou do the other fellow in a horse:rade.
