"The sum of 11,000 or thereabouts is being spent in fixing the diamond and doing other work on the grounds and the baseball ground is surely going to be a beauty." Reading It Since Boyhood. "I can't say how long I huve been a subscriber to The .Yorkville Enquirer," said Mr. W'. S. Garrison, Confederate soldier and well known citizen living near Rock Hill, to whom Views and Interviews talked the other day; "but I do know that I have been reading it every since I was a boy, and that was a l">ng time ago. I remember quite well read'ng the serial story 'Ellen Campbell' in The Enquirer long before the Civil war. The Enquirer published the story again after the war, but I remember well reading it when it was first published." Sees Changes In Yorkville. "Yorkville has changed as much in appearance as most towns I know in the past forty years," commented Col. W. J. Rawlinson of Rock Hill, the other day. "I lived in Yorkville in my younger days and when I go there occasionally now I have some little difficulty in finding my way to places that I knew so well years ago. I am impressed especially with King's Mountain street. When I was quite familiar with Yorkville, there waan't much on that street except 'The Garrison,' as we knew Colonel Coward's military school and which is now the Church Rome Orphanage. Now it is one of the most beautiful streets in the town." Can See Two Miles in Moonlight.

Everybody in the courthouse laughed. First Visit In Twenty-five Years. Dr. Charles R. May, a prominent physician of Bennettsville, was a vis itor in Yorkvillc for a short while on Wednesday. "I was over at Rock Hill with my wife, attending the convention of the South Carolina Medical association, and I couldn't resist the temptation to come over to my native town for a few minutes even if it was raining," said Dr. May. "I left Yorkville in 1897 and this is my first trip back since." Dr. May took occasion to look up a number of his boyhood acquaintances and was struck with the many changes that have occurred, in the town since his residence here. The Success Family. "Here is a little sermon put in type in a rather peculiar way that can be easily remembered and which everybody should remember and keep in mind all the time," said one this morning: The father of Success is? Work The mother of Success is? Ambition The oldest son is? Common Sense Some of the other boys are? Perseverance Honesty Thoroughness Foresight Enthusiasm Cooperation The oldest daughter is? Character Some of her sisters arc? Cheerfulness Loyalty Courtesy Care Economy Sincerity Harmony The Baby is? Opportunity The Home Merchants.

The home merchant credits till payday arrives?he knows all the whims of his friends and their wives. His overalls wear like the buckskin of old. his buttons ain't glass, if he tells you they're gold! Of every community he is a part, and even the kids know the path to his heart. He boosts for the chapel, the lodge and the school? "Community uplift" is ever his rule? And even the football and basketball teams, look kindly on him, In their athletic dreams. I'd rather have him at my elbow each day, than to deal with a shark, many furlongs away.

The stamps totaled 10,000 roubles. Prior to the beginning: of the World War the Russian rouble was equivalent to 50 cents In good old United States coin. Now it takes 10,000 of them to pay the postage on a letter from the country of the Bolsl eviks to the United States while the postage on a letter from the United States to Russia is only 5 cents. "The letter which cost 10,000 roubles to bring here was received by a friend of mine in Baltimore," Colonel Levy went on to explain; "and I asked him to send me the stamps required for postage in order that I might show some of my friends just how much cheap money it , takes to get along over there." Mr. j Levy is a native of Russia. . Winnsboro's Clock. 1 "They have that same old clock < down there yet," said the venerable ' Elder S.

Yes, it oceurred to us that we might get lost; but that consideration was a small one, compared with the delight of hearing that clock strike. So we remained and watched the hour hand going across to one while the big minute hand crawled around the dial. Of course we walked about a little among the stores and saw other wonderful sights; but the clock was the main great attraction, and we were there when the minute hand reached twelve and the big hammer banged 'one.' For a minute or two afterward we contemplated, that marvelous phenomenon until suddenly there began to grow over us a fear that we might be lost, and we struck away down the road after the wagons, going at top speed until we caught up with them" e c ni-n/vnv r- rue A Kin If IDV lw ntrun I vr I n t. unnnw nwn I i s Would Have Expert to Pae* on Con- j dition of Standpipe. v Commendation of the course of Judge t Bowman in imposing- chaingang sent- h ences on practically every defendant 11 convicted of violation of the prohibi- t tion laws was contained in the final t presentment of the York county grand d jury made Tuesday, just before the v grand jury was dismissed for the term.

Oration of Occasion Delivered by J. C. Hardin?Daughters of Confederacy Entertained Veterans at Delightful Dinner. (By a Staff Correspondent.) Rock Hill, April 18.?Daughters of the Confederacy, Confederate veterans, city officials, grand officers of the Masonic fraternity and the general public of Rock Hill and vicinity to the number of several hundred gathered in Confederate Park near the Fennell Infirmary here this morning, for the L-eremonies incident to the laying of the cornerstone of the new Confederate monument, made possible through the untiring energy and zeal of the members of Ann White Chapter, U. D. C. A drizzling rain fell during the exercises; but it did not dampen the Interest of those present. Hon. J. Campbell Bissell of Charleston, grand naster of the South Carolina Grand Lodge of the Masonic fraternity was In charge of the cornerstone laying which was done according to the impressive ceremony of the Masons. There was a large number of mem>ers of the local lodge present for the exercises dressed in Masonic regalia. They marched from the lodge hall to the monument site in double file as did ilso the children of the Rock Hill ?choo)s who participated. During the Masonic ceremonies the jsual Masonic collection, always a fea:ure of such an occasion was collected, [t was announced that the proceeds would be sent to the Church Home Drphanage in Yorkville. Mayor J. B. Johnson introduced Mr. las. C. Hardin of Rock Hill, the >rincipal orator of the occasion and dated his pride over the fact that it vas not necessary to go out of the city o secure a speaker equal to so momenous an occasion. Mr. Hardin paid tribute to the valor ind bravery of the soldiers of the Confederate and said that it was not )nly an honor but a privilege for the ions and daughters and grand child'en of Confederate soldiers to honor hem not only with marble shafts but n every way possible- He was happy hat children of the south were the >osse380rs of such a rich and noble icritage as had been handed them by hose who upheld the cause of the outh during the War Between the ItateB. Referring to the fact that the hin gray line was growing thinner till as the months and years pass it vas the duty of their children to use very care for the comfort and con'enlence for those who still lived. Dr. Phillips, prominent physician of Charleston, whose father was chief Urgeon on the famous Confederate am "Merrimac" during the War Beween the States was introduced and esponded In a happy speech. He exdained that he was In Rock Hill atending the convention of the South Carolina Medical Association and the xercises at Confederate Park had ome in the nature of a surprise to lim. He was happy that he was the on of a man who had fought for a ust cause though a lost cause and, he ras thankful for the hundreds of housands of Confederate soldiers who lad fought for that which they bcleved right. It was his hope, however, hat as the years go by men will come o know each other better and to unerstand each other so thoroughly that rars will be no more. Following Dr. Phillip's talk, the chool children led "Dixie," and the ntlre audience Joined in the chorus nost heartily. Exercises in connection fith the laying1 of the cornerstone of he monument were concluded with a enedictlon pronounced by Rev. W- E. IcCord. Dinner for Veterans. After the exercises at Confederate 'ark were concluded the Confederate Veterans present and the "Girls of the sixties" were carried in automobiles by J. D. C. members to the Chamber of 'ommerce Hall where they were serv(1 a most delightful dinnncr. After linner smokes were passed and the veterans enjoyed themselves in talkng to old comrades and friends and ceiling incidents and anecdotes of the lays of *61. Oldest Information. Inquiry among the veterans developed the fact that Mr. J. B. Fudge of itock Hill, was the oldest present. He s in his 89th year, having passed his >8th birthday April 5, last. Mr. fudge's family is one remarxanie ior ongevity. His brother, H. W. Fudge A'ho lives several miles south of Rock Hill is in his 92nd year and he has a sister, Mrs. Eliza Fudge Sibley living near here who is in the 94th year of ner age. Each of the three is in good health and has every prospect for many years of life. Col. \V. J. Rawlinson of Rock Hill was the youngest veteran present for dinner. He is 75.

The handsome granite shaft In Confederate Park, which will be unveiled on Confederate Memorial Day, May 10, is the result of months of work on the part of Ann White Chapter, U. D. C., assisted by other organization In Rock Hill. The monument was "built by a Marietta, Ga., concern; but the figure of a soldier which surmounts the memorial Is the work of an Italian sculptor fashioned after the photograph of a Georgia boy. The mon iment cost about $3,800, the money being subscribed by local people. According to officer* of Ann White Chapter, much credit la due Messrs C. L. Cobb and J. C. Hardin for the valuable assistance they have given In the undertaking. For a time the Daughters were undeeWcd where the monument was to be located, until finally Confederate Park, a new play ground of the city was decided upon.

RACE WITH A SPOUT Carmania and Crew .Had Narrow Escape from Death. The story of a gigantic water snout, which chased the Cunard Liner Carmania half an hour and then suddenly subsided when it was almost upon the hard driven ship, was told by of fleers and passengers wncn sne arrived in New York last Saturday after a round trip to the Near EasL The ltner was "about 800 milos out of New York when the spout was sighted. At first, passengers said, it appeared ks a slight disturbance of wnter about * eight miles astern. Then the waves were twisted, and churned and hurled skyward with tertcrriflc fofce in an ever increasing volume. For a time, they stated, it stood still while Captain Melson, after pronouncing it a big water spout, ordered the liner sent ahead at full speed. At almost the same moment the spout seemed to take wings and rush after the big ship. Passengers crowded aft. Smoke belched from the ship's funnels while the Carmania strained every atom of her strength to escape. As the spout traveled it grew larger. It widened rapidly and towered high in the air, throwing off spray. At first, passengers thought that it was just a wonderful phenomena. They began to bet on its speed, on whether it could catch the boat, or pass it. Then as it towered in the Camanla's wake, gaining rapidly it suddenly occurred to the passengers that it carried certain death with it? that the race was one for life. The spout continued to gain until it was almost on the ship. The passengers huddled, awe stricken, along the decks watching the oncoming mass of water. It had only to reach out for the ship?and It subsided as suddenly as it had risen. Five minutes after there was nothing to show there had been any disturbance of the placid ocean. Captain Melson smiled when he was asked about it. "I'll never tell what would hove happened, if it had caught us," he said. "In fact, I never could have told. We would have been listed a3 missing on the marine register." Look Out For Him.?A young man blew into town a few days ago with a patent boll weevil exterminator for sale at Ave dollars per. It was an innocent looking little attachment to tit on a plowstock and the principle of its operation was simple. A tank contained u liquid poisonous mixture which Altered through two brushes to tho cotton stalks. The claim was that when the poison and the boll weevil met that boll weevil would be out of luck. The agent made some extravagent claims about how many '.< i.??lnmonto Vio hnH Cnl/or'u farm at Hartsville, and County Agent Howell wired Mr. Coker and received reply to the effect that the Coker farms had not bought any of them. Upon the strength of this the mayor was called upon to stop the sale, and the agent departed to more verdant I pastures.

I have been requested by some members of the Cotton Association to publicly express my opinion on cooperative marketing: together with the rather questionable compliment, "We know you will write what you think regardless." Tho beauty of the cooperative marketing system to me is its very i wonderful possibilities. Of course, it cculd be wrecked or ruined by mismanagement, (and for the Lord's sake keep politics out of it.) The success of practically everything or business rlonnnrJu An I f a mono r*f? mont an/1 tn this management will depend to the very greatest extent the future welfare of the south, which includes every man in every line of business. The man assuming the general management, whiph will probably moan the handling of three hundred million dollars or more per annum v/ill have to have some head, and the question is have we got a man big enough and broad enough for the job. I realize that we have over ten thousand who think they are, but time will prove it, and we must have a start. Somehow I. feel that the corner stone is being laid and that we will sooner or later have a monument to be proud of, even if we did wait a half i century to start. The management will have every big Interest that has been fixing the prices against it with < all their power, money and influence, and will need the full support and cooperation of every man in the organization. Don't let any one get It in his head ' that in order to succeed It doesn't ' mean a fight, because when any peoplo have had things their own way for 50 years and fixed a price to suit them, they will not surrender easily. ^ I repeat, it is unfortunate to be forced tn V,..? tw, ?l,i?

The farmers hav* stood for more and waited longer than any other class, and if it is to be force, then let it be force to the < limit. Rockefeller with his- money 1 could put cotton unreasonably high, ( united big wealthy professional oper- J ators with the present scheme can put ^ it and kept it at a barely living price, and have it their way so long that they will present losing control. For Instance, may I not quote from a N. Y. editorial, "Certain Interests in the North and East express themselves as out of sympathy with the efforts of the American Cotton association to control cotton acreage. Some of these objectors frankly state that they want to see the crop as large as possible and the price as low as possible. ' They declare that to limit production is to commit an economic wrong." I think slavery was abolished in 1865 and I haven't seen arty law not allowing any people to try to have some 1 sense. If every other class of labor or line of buslnecs has to pull a load 1 uphill, and they can't pull it up unless ' they pull together, why should each farmer assume that he alone can pull his load. He has been spraining his back trying it a long time, ana nobody I else in this day and time is doing much extra pulling. If two of us can pui' a load together, and neither one of us can pull it separately, rather than pull together, shall we just stand still and rot- Is that stubborness, ignorance or meanness? I would like to see adopted as the motto of this association its watchword, "Control your surplus." I would like to see every farmer and his children in the schools taught the necessity of controlling the surplus, for that, with all the schemes against you is your winning point. If you can't control it, you can't really win. Twenty-five years ago when I tried to get the farmers to combine, and out of every four bales each farmer produced turn over one bale to an association to be marketed, thus controlling the surplus, they called it a "gigantic trust," and I am afruid that when they can't fix the price as they have always done they will try to fight you in Washington on that ground. When the producers realize that this surplus must be controlled, and that it is more profitable to plant less, not over-produce, and when they nre shown that this surplus is getting beyond the control of the association, then I believe they will know enough to regulate their acreage accordingly. No particular state can win out (nor could a part of any organization, one working in one direction, and the other in another, but the cooperation of all the states) for if the professional:: caught you without control of the surplus, they would make every effort to put you out of business, and I-?**? "bnnttr t'lftii' hnnb *' Hnn' ho discouraged: It is a big undertaking, and you will have ups and downs. If you can keep your organization even together and satisfied you will have won, because year by year you will I see the possibilities, and become more j land more enthused, just as every I other successful corporation has proved. A man could write ten books on this subject, but all will be brought out in due time. Individually I didn't intend to plant a seed of cotton, hr.vn't liked the price for the last two years, but I understand It is necessary to produce some before one can sign,' lo I told my man to put in at least enough to give me that privilege.

In response to numerous complaints from parents of children that calls for expensive costumes for their children were frequently being made, says the Greenwood Index Journal, the board of trustees of tho city schools at a recent meeting unanimously id opted a resolution which forbids at y class in the city schools as a class to take part in any outside entertainment where there shall be any expense for a costume for the children. The board also put a ban on appeals for money to the children for any purpose whatsoever except where such -appeal has first been submitted to and the approval and consent of Lhe board secured. In the present tight money times tho demand for a costume costing from three to five dollars and sometimes more falls heavily upon the average head of a family, a member or tho board stated in explaining the resolution. Some complaints recently received said that costumes requiring fin expenditure of eight dollirs for a little girl was urged upon the parent. The resolution adopted by the board follows: On and after Sept 1, 1922, no class In any of the Greenwood public schools shall be allowed as a class to participate in any outside entertainment where there shall be any expense for costumes or otherwise whatsoever attaching to the children participating therein. The board disapproves of appeals for money made to the children in the schools for any cause and rcrbids same except wnere said appeal has been submitted to and the approva and consent of the board has been lirst obtained.
