it may be the means of plunging US
into chaos. Just how or why no.
body has ever attempted to explain.
with the consent of the
people or not, it is necessary to argue
we are called upon to frame a new
fundamental law. How and where
this new law is TO eliminate the al
legged dangers of the old, none of the
politicians seem called upon to explain.
Their sole efforts seem to be devoted
to securing personal recognition and
the question as to where and how the
interest of the people, rich and poor
are to be affected has not yet been
brought in evidence. We have given
great deal of study to this matter all
along, and it occurs to us that it is
getting time for the people to tell the
politicians to shut up about who should
control the convention, and give them
some information as to what the con-
rention proposes to do.

CHEAPER TO BUY 1T.

In the course of a conversation with
a well known farmer on the eastern
side of the county, on the subject of
wheat, the other day, a representative
of THE ENQUIRER observed:
"a great many people say that it is
cheaper to buy -four than to raise
wheat, what do you think of the
proposition?"
"Yes, yes, that is correct" replied
the farmer. ~ also heard" he con-
tinued, "that it is cheaper to buy a
living than to make it, and I believe
that too; but the thing that always
worried me was where l am to get the
money. Oh, yes; if you're not farm
er, have no land and have the money,
l would advise you to buy flour every
time, rather than raise wheat; but
if you are a farmer and happen to
need what money you can make for
other things, 1 would advise you not
to calculate on buying flour. Besides
being very expensive, would take it
as an evidence that you did not know
what you were farming for anyway"

Julius Lowenstein, North Carroll
ma liquor dealer, has commenced pro-
ceedings in the United States circuit
court, against the State board of con-
troll and Commissioner Nixon for the
recovery of barrel of liquor shipped
by Lowenstein to parties in this State
and seized by constables. The case is
to be based on act of congress of 1890,
entitled an "act to protect trade and
commerce against unlawful restraint
and monopoly" The constitutionality
of the dispensary law will no doubt
again be attacked, this time probably
in lines with the points some time ago
decided by Judges McIver and Nc
Gowan. Though the preliminary pa
pers have already been prepared, the
case cannot come before the court until
sometime next fall.

TROUBLE AT WHITE HILL.

There was a shooting scrape at
White Hill colored church, about four
miles east of Yorkville, last Sunday.
The trouble was between Will Wilson
and Sam Ratchford, both colored, and
is supposed to have been caused by
whisky and women.
According TO story gathered from
different individuals who claim to
know more or less about the matter,
Wilson struck Ratchford with pistol
and tried to shoot him. Ratchford
drew his pistol and fired. The bullet
grazed one of Wilson's fingers and
passed through a heshy part of his
arm. Ratchford ran away and Wilson
emptied his revolver at him as he
ran, without effect.
There have been no arrests and at
last accounts it was thought that the
affair would be patched>up without a
trial.

A great many people are of opinion
that the highest education in this coun-
try is steadily growing cheaper. Such
is not the case. Recent figures show
that the average expenses of Yale
students are over 5000 a year. At
these figures, only the sons of very
rich men can hope to 60 through the
highest educational institution in the
land. For other higher institutions to
follow the lead of Yale in the matter
ofexpenses is perhaps natural tenden-
CIV, and to be seen in the future, is a
development of sort of educational
aristocracy that cannot be to the hest
interest of the whole people. Upder
the circumstances, the building up of
the public school system to the highest
state of perfection becomes work of
the gravest necessity.

The women of Tacoma, WASH, are en-
gagged in very active crusade in favor OF
"home industries" They have formed Il
league whose members pledge themselves
to give preference always to the articles
manufactured in Tacoma or produced III
the State, and to labor to bring others to
their principles. The women are work.
ing the matter with astonishing vigor, and
have succeeded in booming local trade to
notable extent.-Exchange.
The above paragraph suggests the
application of most wholesome
principle of political economy that
may he studied with much profit in
every community. The formation of
leagues probably is unnecessary but
to insure the building up of neigh
borhood, county or State, each indi-
vidual should follow out as practical
ly unalterable rule the policy of pat
ronizing home rather than foreign
industries. A dollar seut abroad, in
most cases, is gone for good, while
dollar spent at home remains a contin-
ual factor in industrial development.
To most people who have not thought
about the matter, whether home pro-
duct at S1.50 is dearer than foreign
product of the same quality at S1.OO
may appear an easy question but as
a matter Of fact the problem is one
that is worthy Of long and serious con-
sideration. In one case the money
may afterward repeatedly return to
the hand of the original owner and in
the other case it is gone, most likely,
forever.

MORMONISNI IN YORK.

Mr.. August Kohn, the Columbia
correspondent ofThe News and Couri-
er, has been interviewing Elder Beat
tie, of Columbia, who is in charge Of
Mormon missionary work in this State,
as to the progress his propaganda.
Elder Beattie gave an extensive review
of the work of the Latter Day Saints,
and the following extract, applying to
York county will no doubt be read
with especial interest here:
In the meantime more elders had
been sent into South Carolina and the
field was widened, and after doing
considerable travelling through several
counties the elders returned to York
county, and on June 1, 1884, another
branch was effected with membership

Bigger and Caldwell. The operation
was performed with skill and ability;
but as the result of an abnormal
condition that the physicians had had
reason to hope did not exist, the
patient was unable to pull through.
She died shortly after the operation.
The case was one in which speedy
death was inevitable any way, and it
was only through the operation that
the patient could possibly hope for a
prolongation of life.
Draws the Line ut "Rest."
When it is desired to suspend busi-
ness for day in Yorkville the object
is usually accomplished by means of
written agreement signed by the vari-
GUS individuals interested. The scribe
who drew up the Fourth of July agree
ment this year put in the paper as the
object of the proposed suspension of
business, "to give the clerks day of
rest and pleasure" All signed the pa
per in this shape except MIR. T. M. Dob
son. He demanded that the word
"rest" be stricken out, claiming that the
clerks crested" pretty much all the time
and when his demand was complied
with signed the paper. The Old Chap
is not inclined to put up with any fool
ishness.

1t is somewhat remarkable state of
affairs that we are talking every day
about the constitutional convention and
nobody ever says anything about what is
going to be put in the new constitution.
1t seems that it would be the most natural
thing in the world when n constitutional
convention is called for everybody from
the humblest to the highest to want to
know what was going to be incorporated
into it. But not word is said about
that. The whole question seems to be,
which set Of politicians shall control the
convention-that and nothing more

AS should appear to any intelligent

grave significance. Were the present

form or the nomination Of candidates,
it's peculiar character could furnish no
occasion for comment. But under
the circumstances there is occasion for
grave concern. We are told by the
politicians that our present constitu-
ton is menace to our liberties, and
that if it is not speedily overhauled

a native of York county, was placed
in charge of this branch. This, like
the previous one, was run with splen-

of the members desired to be with the
body of the church and accordingly
they packed up and went out West.
There this branch was discontinued
for the time being, although at present
we have elders in York county and the
Sunday-school will be organized once
more. Some time later another branch
was put in order at Kings Mountain,

YORKVILLE, S. c.:
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1898.

- From reading of their address in
another column, it appears that the
Conservatives have the same fault as
the Reformers. They are not disposed
to tell what they want to do. Up to
date, people who are not so much in
terested in the politics of the makers
of the proposed new constitution as in
the bill of rights and privileges that
are to 60 to make up that paper, have
but little choice.

Dispensary Earnings.

Dispensary Earnings.
State Liquor Commissioner Nixon
has submitted his quarterly report to
the State board of control. He Sc
verely criticises the administration of
Commissioner Traxler and shows that
the profits claimed by that official
were largely imaginary. The total
Indebtedness of the dispensary from
the beginning of operation up to April
80, last, was S44 .033.95. The cash in
the State treasury to the credit of the
dispensary amounted to S75,523.65,
leaving a balance on hand of S3l, ,4S9.-
so. The dispensary still owes the
State the $4,000 originally appropria-
ted for the purpose of doing business
and this Commissioner Nixon hopes to
pay back before the end of the year.
He now lacks nearly s19, 900 of having
enough money for the purpose. The
valne of the stock of liquors on hand
which is considerable does not appear
in the report. The earnings of the
dispensary have been nothing like
what was expected.
