W. BRADFORD. J There is h communication elsewhere in this paper advocating the establishment of a roller mill in Fort Mill. No one doubts the necessity of such n much-needed enterprise and there are good bus- 1 inens men who nay it would pay handsomely. The question is who is going to build it? In our opinion the farmers are the people to do it. The farmers adjacent to Fort Mill have enough money in banks and otherwise idle to build several millH, for there is more idle money in their hands than in all the other classes of citizenship ' combined in this community. | Then a mill built with the fanners' capital would surely insure their patronage and its success would merely be a question of how much wheat they could raise. And we guarantee that we would licar lesN of the ery "hud product.''-.^Upd flour," that we hear ho much now. udnya, that in from those who lielth interest in the mill. ? Presidantal Succession. Inasmuch as we have heard a number of inqu'ries as to who would succeed Roosevelt oh vice , president, we publish the following , article from the Char otte Observ- j er, which fully explains the mutter ] in question; There will then be no vice president. Tne president pro tempore of the senate, who is now Senator Frye, of Maine, will exercise the fiinctionsof that ollice. it is often askedKulso, who becomes president, ' if the vice president, succeeding a ; president who dies, should himself die wtiile president? In that ease the secretary of slate succeeds to the presidency; after him the sec- | retary of the treasury, and on j through the cabinet down to and | including the secretary of agrie.uli tare, who would he the last eligible. : I This system of succession was pro-' wL vided for by act of congress in ^k rather recent years?in fact, soon Wk after the death of N ice President BBS Hendricks, when it was realized BIB that, in the event of the death of Bk President Cleveland, there was no provision of law, either const i tiltional or statutory, for filling the 9BB presidential otlice, PIP Confederate Reunion and Picnic. Yorkvillo, S. C. Sopt. lit, 11H)1. uenerai imier.' No. 1. The York Regiment I'ni1ed Confederate Veteran's Associa- i tion, which is composed of Catawha Camp No. 278, Commander L. M.

Iredell Jones, Acting Adjutant. The object of the foregoing or ci**r ih to aiiorci the Uonfedorate veterans of York county the opportunity of enjoying a day of pleasure in happy intercourse with their comrades and friends as well as to view the water power, a now and great enterprise for our counIty now in progress of construction. There will be no attempt at otli- I cinl entertainment otherwise than as the occasion seems to suggest. All Confederate veterans of the connty with the r families and friends are expected to be present m and are requested to bring baskets of provisions bountifully tilled, thus adding comfort with joy and a^uring for the reunion a complcttf success Gov. McSweeney's Cpinion o? Soosavelt. In lli<? press dispatches yester-! ! ilny there was an interview with ' President Rniisevelt iii which ho ; declared his purpose of being pros- , idont i f tlio wli' lo country, know- | | ing no north, or south, or ea-t. or west, say8 the Columbia Stale. When asked last night by a New Vork newspaper representative a j bout the effect of this sla'ement ! , politically, (iov. MeSweeney said: "I think tli etlvet will be decid- : edly good. It will do good and will tend to bring the people of the country closer together, doing aj way with the bitter sectional partj snnship that has heretofore exis- j i ted. This staten nit from the pros; ident merely strengthens the opin- j ; ion I had forire'd of him, for aside f mil iiis southern aseentry. he is a man of such literary and other attainments that he could not be otherwise than enterprising, progressive, broad minded. When 1 was in New York last during his recrime im iKivoiimr it struck inn tlnit lioosevelt whs a brond-ini tided and I progressive man, and I am not sur- i prised at the views lie now expresses." ? -* ?- ? York County Schools. Aeeording to the report of Suporintendent of Education Carroll, which was recently sent the State suprintendont of education, York county shows the following number of schools, with the enrollinent of scholars, for the year ending; duly HO, liMll: The county is divided into H.N districts, in which there are !>7 white schools and ns negro schools. Of these, SS while schools and 70 negro schools are outside of incor- , poratcd towns. The cnrollm cut in the white schools during the year was 2,1 I'd ! toys and 2.0i>7 twirls, a total of 4.1 "><>; and in the negro, schools, -.771 hoys, and 2.N7Hgirls, n total of "?.<? I t. The white schools showed an average attendance of 2,01)7, an the negro sdm ?!s an uvetage attendance of H/,H>7. Saltiincro Nec:ccc Y7ant Tillman Esyelhd. At n largely attended meeting of colored people in llnltimore, Md., on the 10th instant, resolu- ! tions were adoiited declaring that the assassination of President jNleKiti'ey was "the fruiton of the seed of tolerance of crimes too abhorrent and memorable against the native citizen, as represented by Parker, the would-be preserver of ,1... Or.. . .r l >.... : .i 'im. bur int* in Hoi i icMiiciM. j lit* meeting also referred to Parker as a representative of "the ejected at home, the regarded oll'al *.>1 American society." The resolutions further any that "since Senator Benjamin Tillman is. I?y his own avowals, an abettor of murder and rapine it is hereby requested that he lie expelled from tin* lnite.1 States Senate, that the lives of our public otlicers be not further menaced by the monstrosity of his presence, the perverse ness of his teael,ings and example." j ? ? Things the President Carried. A president carries in his pockets articles which are much the! same as those carried liy any other citi'/'Mi. The president's clothes which were removed at. the exposition hospital have been sent to the i Milburn residence, where the pockets were emptied. In his right hand trousors pocket was some $1.80 in currency. With these coins was a small silver nugget, well worn, hh if the president had carried it as a pocket piece for a long time. Three small penknives, pearlhandled, were in the pockets of his trousers. Evidently they were gifts that he prized and was in the habit of enrrvinir all of them An. other battered coin, presumably h pocket piece, was in the left hand pocket. The president's wallet is well worn and of black leather, about four inches by five. It was not marked with his name. In it whh Sl."? in bills. A number of cards, which evidently had rested in the wallet for some time, were in one ( of the compartments. In a vest pocket was a silvershell lend pencil. Three cigars were found. They were not the black perfectos which the presi- | dent 11 k?*M. hut were short ones 1 tlint had been von to him nt Ni 1 ngnra Fulls that (lay. < hi two of them he had chewed, much as (Jenera 1 Grant used to bite a cigar. i The president's watch was an open ! faced gold case American-made I timekeeper. Attached to it was t the gold chain which the president I always wore. No letters, telegrams j or papers were found. There wu- I not on the president's person a sin- i gle clew to his identity, unless it < was ? he found in the cards in his ( wallet, which were not examined. 1 The president's shirt was cut i where the surgeons had ripped it t from him in hastily preparing him I for the operating tabic. 1 jf,. - ; pgtvyy 7."

The governor's office is hoiiilt daily notified by the police departincuts of the Imlj cities of the receipt of the circular offering the reward for the slayer of Watson at Btanchvillc?Bartow Warren.

A number of the hoard of penitentiary directors states that the cotton crop on the State farms is hi'l ter 1 lian it has I mm 11 for years, and tlmt picking is right along The ?. ?>i n crop is poor. l?nt the stab farms are not peeuliar in this respect. This crop has not been good anywhere. Mayor Hardin, of Chester, has written the governor in reference to a dissase among horses.which appears to he glanders, and which was discovered in the livery stable of W. \V ltrice. He asks that the v terinary surgoon of Clemson he sent to investigate. The governor has referred the letter to Clemson college. The new main prison building nt the State penitentiarv has at last been completed in all its details and has been turned over to the authorities. The prisoners arc now housed in their new quarters, and they are glad of it.

This arrangement, will enable many pmple who lcivo to work all day to see the exhibits and shows, and will also afford a place of ainnsoinent for the crowds who arrive late in the evening with no plnce to visit, and on the whole it is considered a good plan.

Our township uses over 3.000 barrels of Hour, or over J <>.000 bushels of wheat every year. We could and would raise at least 20,- ; 000, perhaps 30,000 bushels, if wo ! had a mill convenient.
