"MApa ^ ^ biiiHtjon of btif stick and pitchfork oiighl to be rather form' idable in a fight. IB Apparently the only tie that hinds the Tresident nnd Mr. TiilI man is the railroad tie. ' From the most reliable reports, it app' ars that there will, and tbare will not be a coal.strike. During his service as pilot for the|railroad rate bill, Senator Tillman will probably substitute the cow-catcher for the pitchfork. Since Mr. Roose * It had a wedding in the family, his friend, the Kaiser, just had to have another one to keep up with the procession. Senator Tillman is at home for a few tin* s. Possibly he is after n new supply of home-grown pitchforks to be used in defense of tliv inle bill. Castro who says he will break up the Monroe doctrine and clear "" " -out the"^foreigners, should be warned by some friend to stop mixing bis drinks.

"ritain encourages France to fight if uecessary. Doubtless France recognizes that it is a good deal -osier to do the encouraging than it is to do the fighting. NoVnatter how they,differ with regard to other questions, in the Orient, the powers are practically n unit now in wishing that China may not wake up too much. Captain Hobson declares that Japan shall not be permitted to turn China into a great military nation. The Dowager Empress will kiss ltiehaid, if he doesn't walcli out. t^f?h)nRtor Tillnmn'snys lie is about to digest the mass of evidence taken by his committee on railrind rates,'and yet the senator has not hitherto been known as a literary gourmand. The sacred cow nearly 4,000 years old, found in the ancient ruins of Egypt, may be priceless in value, but all the same, a good healthy Jersey not over four years old, would look much better to a 'Hungry mau.

We wish to congratulate fthe farmers' association upon its selection of Mr. W. H. Stewart as county organizer.

IC the railwny rate law does not contain loophole* through which s'vernl locomotives of mogul size co ?ld be driven abreist, some persons will be agreeably surprised. Congressmen from the rural districts get a little consolation from the fact that it will require more than *u executive order to do Away with the congressional free seed distribution. The railway rate bill is said to be so loug that it will take years to correctly interpret it, from a constitutional standpoint. In that case it should be referred to Senator Bailey of Tex., at once. He is the constitutional specialist. We trust that Representative Ktifer will pause in his efforts to reduce the representation from the Southern States on account of our alleged treatment of the negro, to read the very exciting news that was seut over the wires from Springtield, Ohio. In condensed form, the recommendations of the Armstrong Insurance Investigating Committee are like Horace Greeley's dictum in regard to the specie payments, that the way to resume is to resume. The way to do an insurance business is to do an insurance business and nothing else. We wiah to impress upon our advertisers the fact that we want them to change their ads. often.

The burned district included uearlv half of the business section of the village. The fire started m tho Carolina Dtiig Company's store, and after destroying that the fiames spread to the millinery aud dry goods store which Miss Tollie Funk managed for the firm of Mencham & hpps, of Fort Mill. This buildim?. which was oftneb by Miss Funk, together with a part of the stork, was soon reduced to ashes. There wat no insurance on either the building or the 'stock. The fire next spread to tKb general mercliondise store of Mnson & Company, nnd this too was soon destroyed. It is not kuown bow the fire originated, or has it been learned here the amount of insurance, if any, wss carried by the drug com pany or Mason & Co. The buildings burned Sunday morning were among those which escaped the destructive fire which visited Pineville a few years ago, wiping out practically the entire business district of the town.

Yorkville. Quite a number of farmers are busy putting in spring out*, and the acreage promises to come uj/ to the average. People who insist on sending messages over the telephone inetead of by mail, should not hesitate to assume the responsibility for errors the result of misunderstanding. The demand for agricultural implements of all kinds seents to be much larger this year tbap usual. Two-horse plows seem to* be especially popular. One dealer informed the reporter a few days ago that he sold and delivered five of these plows in one day.
