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

A REMINDER OF RECONSTRUCTION.
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

; 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

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.

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

is a deserving young man and
holds a responsible position with

THankfg'ving Then and Now.
Of all tlie monthly talks that
Dr. Edward Everett Hale has
given the readers of the Woman s
Home Companion, none have
docn more delightful than that
in the November issue on
"Thanksgiving?Then and Now."
With his wonderful power of
remimsconcing. 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. No
one could have written so delightful
a Thanksgiving homiiv but
Dr. Hale.
