OCTOBER 24, 1907. The "Snubbcr." . ^ Here is our respects for theballoo >headed man or woman who struts the streets with an air \ that would put a turkey gobbler to shame, and at the same time { bands out a snub to this and that of his or her acquaintances who are met. We behave that if there is anything detestable in the sight of Go?i it is the snubber. In saying snubber we | mean one of these individuals wnose self-opinion has reached such a high state of perfection that they will repeatedly pass an acquaintance without speaking The snubber is usually found in the younger set, thanks to the Maker the older ones have learned better sense. And it almost invariably happens that the snubber is one of a family ihat is anything butr blessed with wealth. Yet we see cases almost daily of people snubbed, when as a matter of fact those snubbed .could buy the snubber if he or she were blacked and put up at auction. Snubism and poverty run hand in hand. Snubbers have different opinions of their own perfection. Some think themselves away above par lineally; others look upon themselves as being of very great importance, while another class think themselves a little better looking and finer clothed than the average person. But the public looks upon such a person as being ill-bred, deceitful and lacking in good common sense. There is an old saying: that a fool is born every minute, also that it takes all kinds of people lo make up a world, and realizing: that each town or community lias to furnish its proportionate share of every class of individual, we pass up the subject. The dust on Main street is almost intolerable at present, and a number of plans to get rid of it have been advanced. A street sprinkler could be used to great advantage, but a street sprinkler costs money, and the best means i)i securing one is a question to be considered. One citizen suggests, if the town is not willing or unable to buy the sprinkler, that the merchants buy the machine and charge the town for its use. This seems practicable, though we do not advocate such, for we think the town should own t le machine if it is to be bought. We arc not going to kick, however, as to the purchase of the "water-wagon." It is needed, and that badly, and would be welcomed by our people, even if we were deprived of our much prized (?) rock crusher in securing it. The Times is in receipt of a copy of The Tiger, a pamphlet issued by stadents of Clemson College, containing a marked paragraph asking that the college library be placed on the -exchange list of every paper in the State and saying that it would be a good advertisement for the papers. The Times does not see it in this light. We have ,.several subscribers at Clemson at present and if there are students there who do not see The Times and wish to do so, we will take pleasure in sending them the paper the school term of nine months; for the regular price, 75 cents. The fakirs are much in evidence and the entire community is hoping that they will have fine weather for the coming week.?Charlotte Chronicle. Can it be that our Mecklenburg friends enjoy being faked? Taxable Values of the County. The county tre"0^*!- has receipted the eounty^auditor for the abstract of tax duplicates for the yet-r commencing January 1, 1907. The total tax included in the duplicate this year amounts to $123,878.47, as against $121,097.80 last year, a net gain of $2,780, notwithstanding there has been a reduction of one-half mill in the State levy. The total assessed valuation of all property in the county is$7,001.015, which is really about two-fifths of the actual market value of the property assessed. Th? c .pitation dog tax of 50 cents on each dog returned is $1,653.50, whien means that there at least 3,307 dogs in the county. Of the total tax to be collected about $17,01H) will be paid by railroads, telegraph, telephone, express and insurance companies. Yorkville cor.

An interesting souvenir of the days of "good stealing" and negro ascendency from which the State emerged in 1876, after a lurid experience of eight years, is now in The Times office, a loan from Mr. W. R. Bradford, of Columbia. The souvenir is an old check of the Reconstruction ! period which was picked up by Mr. Bradford on the State house grounds in Columbia a few days : ago. The check is of date May : 6. 1876, drawn on the Carolina National bank, of Columbia, for the sum of $41.88 and is made payable to one H. J. Maxwell or bearer. It is signed by D. H. Chamberlain as governor and the then negro S.tate treasurer F. L. I Cardozo. In the lower center of the check, almost on a line with the signatures of Chamberlain and Cardozo, is the picture of an iron safe, the key to which is being guarded by a vicious looking bull : ilnrr ?? <4I ^^ ^ k i vjuj, |,|1? ?v cilLil Ul L11C ; treasury," evidently. What a travesty on the actual conditions j that obtained at that time! when bribery, corruption and thievery of public monies were in such I high tlowcr, when no small part i of the present day fortunes of! some of the State's great financiers were obtained by transac; tions not above suspicion. ' There are no marks, perforations, writing or other evidences j of cancellation to indicate that1 i the check has ever been paid, but this fact did not deter the officials of the Carolina National bank from promptly refusing to cash the check when it was presented for payment?more in jest than earnest a day or two ago. Of course the old check has no monetary value at this late day, j after the lapse of 31 years, even if it has not been paid, but it is worth something as a reminder, i especially to the younger generation, of the awful scourging] which the white people of the State sutfered for their allegiance ! to the Confederacy and their later refusal to quietly submit to the depredations and misrule of the carpetbagger, scalawag and negro. 1 Chamberlain and Cardozo have long since gone the way of the world, .us has their corrupt and degrading administration; but I the memory of that dark epoch in the history of the State is yet fresh in the minds of many of our people, and notwithstanding: the unhappy era in which the old check was issued, it is an interesting souvenir. It is at The Times office, where it may be be seen by all who care to call for that purpose. Do We Meed a Night School? It is a pleasure to all who favor advancement along educational lines to read in the papers of the success being attained throughout the State in the i teaching of night schools. In Columbia, for instance, night! schools have been established in different parts of the city and' the success of the schools both in point of attendance and proficiency of work is far in excess of the expectations of the promoters. From the smaller towns reports from the night schools are also very encon raging. and this has aroused , interest among our people upon the question of establishing a ' night school here. There are , not so many here to attend the I school as in the larger towns, but it is believed that a sufficient number would attend such a school as to make it self-sustaining, and at the same time1 : givS an opportunity of higher I education to those whose duties ! prevent them from attending the day schools. The trustees and faculty of the graded schools are enthusiastic upon the subject and we would like to see the question discussed and a conclusion reached as to whether it is practicable to establish a night school in our midst. World's Cotton Consumption. The estimated cotton consumption of all countries of the world for the years 190G-07 was somewhat more than 17,000,000 bales of live hundred pounds each. The three great consuming continents are Europe, Asia, and North America. Europe took more than half, North America nearly 00 per cent, and Asia ab??ut 15 per cent, of thi total. mi. iit * ~ xne worici s proauction lor the same year was approximately 19,000,000 bales, according* to! : some authorities, and 20,000,000 ' according* to others. At the outer figure there remained j ft,000,000 bales as a visible supi ply. which would bring the total reserve of unconsumed cotton to (J. 00 , H)0 bales. Wall Street JoUlMul. ?There was a slight change in 1 the schedules of Southern trains Nos. .'id and 34 on last Sunday, but the change affects points south of Kock iTill only. By the new arrangement the trains airive at and leave Columbia about one-half hour sooner and later than formerly. WANTED - To buy a number of good Milch Cows. T. B. Spratt. y . .. . i - ^ York County News, Yorkville Enquirer, Friday. Treasurer Neeiy collected $333.77 last Wednesday, the first day the tax books were opened for this year. Mr. James Cansler of Tirzah, was the first taxpayer to get a receipt. The collections for Thursday amounted to $100.75. Judge Dantzler has filed an order for a new trial nisi, in the case of W. W. An ten, vs. the Catawba Power company. It will be remembered that the jury found for the plaintiff in the sum of $2,G50. Judge Dantzler confirms the verdict to the amount of ,$2,000, and the defendant must pay this amount or appeal. Rock Hill Record: The U. S. treasury department lias sent to the National Union Rank of this city, $50,000, in brand new bills. 5s, 10s, and 20s. The reporter walked into the bank and took a look at the "new stuff" and it sure "looked good" to him, beinjr the largest amount of money he had ever seen in one lot. The bank has gotten this large supply to facilitate their handling the cotton proposition for their farmer customers, and to relieve the money stringency in this section, and it looks as though they will be able to handle the situation without any trouble. This is the largest shipment of currency ever received in this city, and the bank people have been busy for the past two days signing and cutting up the sheets getting ready for business. Mr. P. H. Purr is, who was injured last Friday by a mowing machine as stated in The Enquirer of Tuesday, died in Dr. Pryor's hospital at Chester at about 4 o'clock Wednesday morning. From such information as was obtainable on Tuesday, Mr. Burris's injury was not considered as being especially serious; but it is to this cause that his death is directly attributed. It is stated that there had been no blood poisoning or or other complications. The deceased was a son of the late George Ross Burris, and was about 37 years of age. He was well known throughout York county, and was quite popular with his associates. The interment took place in Bcthesda cemetery on Wednesday. Rock Hill Herald.

The autumn meeting of the First Presbytery of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church will be held this year at Edgemoor. The meeting will be called to order on Tuesday, October 29th, and will continue for two or three days. This is the largest Presbytery in the A. K. P. denomination, embracing all the churches of North Carolina and a good number in South Carolina. Rev. R. G. Miller of Sardis, is tjie moderator at this meeting, but will hardly be able to attend on account of a recent confinement in a Baltimore hospital. Miss Minnie Ferguson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Ferguson of Bandana, was married Wednesday afternoon at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents to Mr. J. F. Plexico, -of this city, by Rev. W. A. Hafner, pastor of Allison Creek church Owing to a recent bereavement in the bride's family the wedding was a very quiet affair, only a few fiiends being present. Mr. and Mrs. i'lexico came to the city that night and as soon as the groom's home, which is in the course of erection on Hampton St., is completed, they will go to house-keeping, hut until then they will he at the home oi the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Plexico. The groom is a deserving young man and holds a responsible position with the J. W. O'Neal Grocery Company. The happy young couple has i ije Herald's best wishes.

Dr. Hale talks, rather than writes, to his readers on the earliest New England Thanksgivings in their Puritanic setting, and tiien of our latterday celebrations, still strong of of the old-time flavor, yet pregnant with possibilities in winch twentieth-century steam cars and motors play a large part.
