The tariff bill which has boon i under consideration by Congress for tlio last four months has ; passed the senate, by a vote of 45 to 34. and is now in the hands of the conference committees of the house and senate. One so- ; called Democrat, McEnery, of Louisiana, voted for the bill, but . it is gratifying to note that ten Republican senators had the manhood to vote against it. These j senators are from the West and Northwest, where the people have a more potent voice in influencing the conduct of their I representatives than in the other i Republican sections of the coun- ' t ry. The consideration of the bill in conference probably will mean j few changes in the interest of. the people. The conferees can i make changes only where house and seijyte provisions conflict, its , powers being limited to the recon- J cjlingof differences between such j provisions. So that any expectation that the conference will carry out Mr. Taft's promise of downward revision, which has j been absolutely ignored by the Republican leaders and majority . <>! CJon gross, doomed to ctisap- 1 pointment. it has been many years since a | bill .has been jammed through ; Congress at the behest of the j predatory interests that excited such general criticism and con- j demnation. The measure is so, ptfrlpably in the interests of the j producer as against those of the j consumer that practically all the j leading Republican newspapers; of the country have denounced it. Baacball Dcadbeat*. The attention of The Times; has been called to the practice indulged in by many of attend- j ing the ball games on the local1 diamond and refusing to help! pay the expense of the visiting) teams, On Tuesday, we are j told, the home team was com- i pelled to pay out something over i $5 toward the cost of getting < the Arcade team here, although a crowd of probably 200 witnessed I the game. This is all wrong.) The games on the local diamond , are given for the entertainment of the people, and they should be ; willing to defray the expenses of the visiting players. There is no way at present to force one to pay to see a game and manv take advantage of this condition. If a ball game is worth going to see it is certainly worth paying for ami the owners of property adjoining the ball lot should give the team authority to eject the j dead heats. Mr. Manning Accept* Trusteeship. Contrary to the advice of newspaper friends, Mr. Richard 1. Manning, of Sumter, has accepted the place on thq board of trustees .of Cleinson College which was tendered him some days ago. The idea was advanced that, inasmuch as there had been a conspicuous absence of harmony in the administration of the affairs of the college for several years, and that little promise of better conditions in the near future were evident, Mr. Manning, as one of the trustees, stood to lose considerably more in a political way than he could hope to gain. This advice seems to have been predicated upon the thought that Mr. Manning will he a candidate for governor next year, and that he is now and will be then an important factor in polities. Evidently Mr. Manning has a better line on things political i..: ?? ill iii lllrt .iuvim'IN, III* M'lTllS lO ' know, as c!o most people, that should ho decide to a^ain run for governor he will stand little ehow of election. The Fort Mill Times has not;j~ "gone back on" Senator Tillman jl as some one suggests. The sen- *~ ntor has gone back on the Democratic party and the people he ^ represents. There are many who {) think Senator Tillman infallible p and who would be willing to em- n brace any kind of Republican & doctrine he might/endorse. This ^ paper dt>es not follow blindly and c unthinkingly the lead of any man. Senator Tillman's course j during the consideration of the ' o tariff bill in Congress for the last; f' few months has been in line with | J* neither the Democratic platform i p nor the interests of his constitu-: tl ents. We have, of course, point-! c< ed out the senator's failure to j H stand by his party and his peo- i ^ pie. There doubtless are those ( who are willing to swallow any j d kind of Republican doctrine Sen-j h ator Tillman may choose to ram j'l down their throats but tViic paper is Democratic and will have none of it. Specifically, Senator Tillman's advocacy of a tl protective duty on tea was in vx a furthcrence of the general Re- ' publicai^scheme to steal from j a the many for the benefit of the $. few. There probably are few mem- ? hers of the State Press Associa tion who would claim that the p association fills the sphere of tl usefulness which could reason- n ably be expected of it. One of a the reasons for this condition, as p we see it from the outside look- s ing in, is that the association s does not confine its membership ( to active newspaper men. Only last week at the annual meeting p in Greenville, which appears to a have been more of an innocent a 1 1 frolic for the members than a 1 session at which matters were n considered making for practical, beneficial results, we see elected ; 0 to the presidency a man who is C not engaged in newspaper work, ; v except occasionally. lie gave up J ? some time ago the position of *] Columbia correspondent of The n News and Courier to enter the i d more profitable field of coupon o clipping. The Press Association is not the organization it should ^ be because, for one reason, its a members are too unanimous when ^ it comes to the selection of its tl officers. i \ d The Standard Oil Company is ^ making preparations to place j, on the market a new product a to be known as petrol butter, c The stuff will be of the same consistency as lacteal butter and , dull brown in color. It is stated, doubtless as a boost to sell the ! ^ new product, that "it lasts a i c, great deal longer than real butter ; t? and does not become rancid.", a This will, if true, be pleasing: news to people in some sections ^ of the country but in the Sunny 3 South, where grass grows green- ii est and Jerseys wax fattest, the average housekeeper will hardly \ care to test even a sample cake , 0 of the stutT. 1 t c The board of trustees of Cleii- | n son College ought not to spend i C much time considering the ad- ^ visability of accepting the resig- h nation of President Mell. No one can claim that his administra- v tion has been a success. On the f? contrary there has been during Ithe years that Dr. Moll has pre- * sided over the institution a de- 7 gree of friction which, if allowed a to continue, will eventually wreck t h(? fnlllM'O A ct ivinn n w * -* ?>i.i v/i iiicii i than Dr. Mell is needed to preside at Clemson College. e It was a pity the Rock Ilill.f Herald was compelled to change i\ one word in The Times' encampment article reproduced, without 1 credit, in that paper last Satur- t. day.

S THROUGHOUT YORK COUNTY. Mr. Henry Massey, of Rock * I ill, a ftiw days ago sold 220 . ales of cotton for a price per ; ound of 121-2 cents. The lot rought $12,738.38. The cotton . ion had repeatedly offered Mr. ] lasscy upwards of 12 cents, but i: e refused to sell until the staple .J ose to the price at which he ] losed out. Dr. J. Miller Moore, a native f Rock Hill, left New York a ; ew days ago for Europe, where ^ . is said he will institute suit gainst the city of Paris, France. t t will be recalled that a year ago ! 1 lie papers contained stories con- t brning Dr. Moore's retention in !. n insane asylum in Paris. He * -as confined in this asylum for y everal months, despite constant , fforts on his part to secure his * ischarge, and only recovered j is liberty after friends went rom this country tcx his aid. i Iven then the Paris authorities J cfused to release him until he s ,*as safe aboard a vessel bound ' N or America. It is stated that he French authorities claim it ras a case of mistaken identity, nd Dr. Moore, it is said, will, on caching France, institute suit gainst the city of Paris for 1 50,000 damages. 1 The city of Yorkville has grantd a 20-year franchise to the 'iedmont Telephone Co., which ; controlled by the Bell comany. The company will rebuild lie present system, putting up ew poles, cabling the wires on 11 streets and making a metallic ircuit throughout the town, dolg away with the ground wire ystem and having an up-to-date witchboard, using long distance Bell) instruments at all stations, ubsenbers will be allowed free' se of country lines and connectlg exchanges, excepting those t Rock 11111 and Fort Mill, where charge per message of 10 and r> cents, respectively, will be lade. The twentieth annual meeting f the stockholders of the Clover otton Manufacturing Company j :as held Toursday. The rejjort! f the secretary and treasurer, Ir. M. L. Smith, showed that j lie mill was in fine shape and; inking fair profits. The usual ividend of 10 per cent, was . rdered paid. Can you believe that during he fifties eggs sold for a cent nd a quarter a dozen? Mr. !. B. Massey told us yesterday hat in 1856 his father bought 0 dozen dggs for 50 cents. Toay eggs are selling on this mar- > et at 20 cents a dozen. Today \ he 40 dozen would bring $8 istead of half a dollar. Corn ! _ t that time was selling for 50 r cuts a bushel, cotton about that ime bringing 3 cents a pound.? lock Hill Herald. According to Commissioner of ^ igriculture Watson, the York' ounty cotton crop from 1901 up j j and including last year has I ggregated as follows: 22,1561 ales in 1901; 30,744 bales in 1902; 8,106 bales in 1903; 40,267 bales 1 1904; 37,342 bales in 1905; 4,778 bales in 1906: 43,538 bales s . kuw. 44 ioo l._1 * mnn i 10V1, oaies in ii'uo. Mr. W. J. Creighton, a farmer f the Leslie neighborhood, was eported in the papers a few ays ago as having killed a hickon snake, which measured , early seven feet in length. Mr. j Ireighton also ploughed up and estroyed 27 snake eggs on his j lace. Invitations were issued the past' ;eek to the marriage of Miss klnaBoyd Hull and Mr. F.

In its summary of cotton crop onditions, based on reports from very section of the South, the Jew Orleans Times-Democrat on londay said: "Taking the belt as a whole, i here has been distinct improvenent since the last report. The rop is late as a rule, but lias been ndustriously worked wherever ucteorological conditions were avorable. There has been some dditional reduction of acreage hrough forced abandonment, 'here are complaints of boll weevil from sections of Missis- ( ippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and * 'exas, but it is too soon as yet o forecast the ultimate damage. ! )espite the improvements during lie month, the situation still resents grave possibilities and he plant, being small and puny, s peculiarly subject to damage rom premature frost." ho best pills made are lb-Witt's Little i larly Risers, the famous little liver i ills.

A Columbia special of Monday a the Charlotte Chronicle says: "A special from Rock Hill says .he audit people report that City Treasurer C. S. May's shortage rvill be dpuble or treble the imount he acknowledged; that le falsified in his own previous eport of the audit company, hat before confessing he destroyed the stubs of the city :heck book, burned the paid checks returned from the bank, ore leaves from the cash book md destroyed all vouchers ex:ept for last June. "The council adopted a resoluion instructing the police to ur cst May if he attempts to leave own. He has not been arrested lending a final report of the audit lompany. All the shortage has >een within the past two years tnd a half.
