I don't mean indiscriminate taffy?that is disgusting. 1 jneHU honest encourageinent of that which seems good. You notice that the policeman on your p?>st is apparently trying to do bis duty. You mention it to your neighbor, perhaps, but you never speak of it to the policeman him*elf. So far as he knows von are (to better pleased tluiu you would he if lie took no pains. Tlie natural effect of this is to discourage lie efforts. You ride with a street ar conductor who does something letter than the common run of uouductors do it?for instance, call ill the streets plainly. Every person in the car inwardly commend him f <r it. but if nobody speaks to him about it he is apt to think it is not appreciated.

There is to be a "Good Honda'' convention in Kock Hill ?>n June j 2. This was decided on Tuesday tiitrlit of last week, when by iuvi' tation of the cotntnereial club of Hock Hill, a number of prominent citizens of the county assembled at ! the Carolina Hotel for the purpose ' ot discussing tho good roads problem and devising, if possible, a means for the betterment <>f York's highways Short talks were made by the different guests on the subjects of better roads, and the concensis of opinion expressed seemed to favor tho idea that roads should tie built and maintained by general taxation. The expedient of issuing ! bonds in sufficient amount, to cover j the cost at once seemed to have the approval of all present. Senators Tillman and Latimer will he in ltd"If Hill nJ thu (imo nf i the convention, it being commencement week nt Winthrop, ami are expected to address those present on the subject. Cow Th!?# Captured. By following the fine judgment that seems to have developed out of his long experience with various kinds of criminals, Policeman Whitener Mon onday succeeded in detecting and arresting a cow thief before the owner of the stolen ani mal had had timo to spread the news of his losa. A Negro came along Monday morning leading a lino looking cow by a rope. Policeman VVhitener remarked to a gentleman with whom he was talking that he would bet the cow had been atolen and tliat the Negro was trying to Hell her. The Negro went straight on to Sherrer'a meat marKet and Mr. Whilener slirewdly concluding that it would be beat not to follow too close in person, requested Deputy Sheriff Sandifer to try to buy the animal. It was j deemed beat to have .Mr. Sandifer go because his ordinary citizen's dress waa not ealcutated to excite i Hnnpieion. Mr. S.mdifer atepp d j up juat mh the Negro was trying to j make a price. Mr. SSheror, was also suspicious that the cow had been stolen and waa not inclined to l>uy. After Consultation the officers decided, upon an arrest. The Negro told vaiTdus conflicting Hlories; but U pay check >U hie pocket wade out to William Jenkins seemed to indicate that his name was not William Jones as lie claimed. After patting the fellow in jail, Police\\ hitener teleplioned to Chief of i Police Jenkins at iiock Hill, and it developed that there hud had just, been a message from Magistrate MeKlhaney making inquiry for just such a cow as had been found in possession of the Negro. The cow Imd been stolen from a Negro fanner in Port Mill township dnring Sunday night.?York vi 11 *-? Empiirer. The row in question wns (he property of Reeee Witherspoon, an old darkey wlio lives on the Scott farm, liotlh of Fort Mill, and was stolen 1 ?y Will Johnston, a colored emplo\e of the Catawha Power Company.

"Will Affect The South " The abnormal priee of cotton, forced by speculators after the staple has left the hands of the producer, will injuriously affect the South. Had the price not been unusually advanced northern and utigiisli in11 Ih would manufacture I freely throughout llienuiiinier, mid the opening of the next cotton sea- I son would have found a small sup- i ply of old cotton on hand. A large \ surplus, likely to result from the. curtailment of uianufaclure, will he the excuse for hammering prices when the new crop iH offered for sale. With fair consumption of cotton during t.is year there should he demand for 11. OJO.OOl) hales of the next, crop at ' prices not below bh centH.?Slate, j Pleasant Valley School Closing. The Pleasant Valley High School closed Friday, after a very successful year's work. The en- j rollment during the entire session j was close up to the one hundred mark. The cloning exercises con-I aisled of Itieraiy addresses,, speeches, dial tgues, etc.. and were | much enjoyed by all. There were : many estimates of the number of people present but we are sure that tlieie could not have been less I han 1 <>00. The exercises began with prayer i by Kev. W. A. \N right and the ad- j dress of welcome hy Hon. O. W. I Potts. These were Followed hy the song "America," in which the out ire school took a part. Then came numerous dialogues, recitations, speeches, drills,etc., making the program one of the most interesting that has been rendered in this section in some time. Promptly at 2 p. in. dinner was announced by Magistrate D. K. Hall. The picnic table extended several hundred feet into the grove, was laden with a dinner, the ex II - - f? ? * ? ? ue jit**11ce ?ji wiiii'ii is seuioiu seen in these parts. In the nfternoon the crowd was treated to a number of interesting literary addresses and a farewell talk by Prof. Bailee, which ended the very pleasant ex- j erciaes of th?' day. In addition to > the above program the exercises were frequently interspersed with music by the Fort. Mill string band, assisted by Messrs. Mood and Warwick, of Providence. Prof. Bailee and his accomplished assistant, Miss Eva Potts, have every reason to be proud ot the manner in which all the pupils acquitted t hemselvea. From Gold Kill. This is the same old plaoo nnd the same old folks. Gold Hill? like its crops?is about dried up. The people, especially the students, have been looking like they were lost since the school closed, but cheer up! boys and girls, picnics have started, and watermelons will be ripe in about two months. The writer attended a school picnic nt Pleasant. Valley last Friday, May 22. Well, I had better say "commencement," because they will feel insulted if I say "school picnic." It was an enjoyable affair, conducted by Prof. J. J. Bades. Between one and two thousand people were present to witness the closing exercises and nnd 1 think everybody enjoyed it, in spite of 'he poor supply of water. The most interesting pnrt of the program was the contests for the gold medals. Miss Edna Harris was the successful reciter. and Mr. Authur Hull was the successful declaiiner. Owing to his nlile management of the school last year, Prof. Bailee has heen re-elected. He certainly dererves credit for his noble work.
