Va Negro newspaper is something new
in this section but THE ENQUIRER is not
inclined to look upon it with disfavor for
that reason. If the management, of which
we know nothing, is competent and prop
er, it can certainly do no harm. On the
contrary, it can be of great value in pro-
noting the general welfare of the Negro
race. But, as yet, the venture is at best
only an experiment, dependent for sue
cess upon the unknown willingness or
ability Of the Negro race in this section to
support newspaper. The career OF The
Messenger will be watched with interest.

ROCK HILL MESSENGER.

Certain Negro citizens of Rock Hill
have undertaken the publication of a
newspaper in the interest of the Negro
race. The first issue appeared last Friday.
1t is a 6-column folio and is called the
Rock Hill Messenger.
The owner Of the paper is joint stock
company, and the name Of c. p. f. White
is given as editor. In the salutatory, the
object of the paper is designated as
follows: "Seeing the great need OF a
medium through which we, as race,
may be brought into closer union and
friendship; and in consideration OF the
fact that our success as to the reaching OF
any very high attainments depends largely
upon our self reliance, self-rcspect, love
and confidence in our fellowman and for
the great benefit of our land and country
we send forth this sheet."I
The most strik ing article in the paper is

NOW THERE ARE THREE.

A few years ago the farmers Of this Sec
ton offered as an excuse for not raising any
more wheat than they did, the fact that
they could not get it made into first class
-four, and held that is was cheaper to buy
flour from the West than to attempt to
produce it at home,
The pioneer in the removal ofthe trouble
was Mr.. G. L. Riddle, of Zeno, on Crowd
er's creek. He at that time owned and
operated the best burr mill probably with
in 50 miles, and made quality of flour
that was in many respects equal to the
best patents. Notwithstanding this fact,
however, about three years ago he put in
the latest roller machinery, and furnished
the farmers of York their first opportuni-
ty to have their wheat ground at home by
the improved process. Since that time he
has been keeping up with the rapid strides
that have been made in new machinery,
and last summer overhauled his entire
plant, bringing it close up to date and
enabling him to furnish any quality OF
flour desired, from plain patent up to the
very finest.
Next following Mr.. Riddle, came the
Hickory Grove Milling company, which
established at Hickory Grove first class
plant, and supplied another large area
with the facilities for having its wheat
made into the finest grades of flour.
Next in order comes the Yorkville
Roller mills, just put in operation by Mr..
Leroy Morrow, of Gastonia, and under the
management of Mr.. Pelham Morrow, OF
Yorkville. This mill, like that at Hickory
Grove, is run by steam. 1t is fitted up
with up to date machinery, and like both
the others. is fully prepared to cater to all
Of the demands Of the custom and the
trade.
So the old excuse Of few years ago no
longer holds good. Where at one time
there was no patent flourmanufactured in
the county, there are now three mills with
an aggregate capacity of something like
200 barrels day-far more than any
present or immediate future demand.
All of them grind wheat by the toll system
for home use, and are prepared to pay
cash for any surplus crops. Many of the
most successful farmers of this county
maintain that there is more clear profit in
wheat than in any other crop that can be
raised in this section, and, under all the
circumstances, we think that it is high
time for our people to commence giving
the matter their serious attention.

YORKVILLE, 8. G..
FRIDAY, JANUARY II, 1896.

Director Willoughby, Of the peniten-
tiary board, is after Superintendent Neal
with a scalping knife. He charges the
superintendent with gross mismanage-
ment, and strongly insinuates certain
amount of fraud. Among other things,
he alleges instances where bills have been
paid more than once, and says that on one
occasion at least, the superintendent got
shoes for himself along with lot that was
purchased for convicts, and intimated that
they were paid for by the State. lie
wants the management ofthe penitentiary
investigated. Superintendent
Neal has but little to say in regard to
Director Willoughby's allegation, but says
that he would be glad to have the whole
thing looked into by legislative COM
mittee.

COTTON As A SURPLUS.

While THE ENQUIRER is fully aware
that newspaper advice as to what to do
and what not to do, gives to many
farmers an almost unbearable attack OF
what is known as that 'tired feeling"
it will not refrain from offering a few
suggestions just at this time.
The last crop has been profitable one
to 9 farmers out of 10. 1t has been
so generally profitable, not altogether
because of the comparatively good price
that has been paid for cotton but more
particularly because it was made at small
cost, and was backed up with corn and
meat. In other words, the last crop has
been profitable because, taken as
whole, it was set on sound business prin-
ciples.
That the last crop was set on sound
business principles, it may as well be
confessed, was not altogether matter OF
good judgment. 1t was more of not
exactly an accident, but of absolute
necessity. At planting time, the price OF
cotton was so low that it was clearly
impossible to raise even a pound Of it
at profit, and the farmers went in for
raising as much corn and meat as was
possible, and only such cotton as promised
to yield money sufficient for pressing
needs.
The result is an open page. The price
Of cotton went up on account OF the
smallness of the crop, and the profits
which would have otherwise gone tor the
purchase of corn and meat, became
available for the general uses OF the
farmers. Had the whole people, or single
individuals, devoted their efforts to the
exclusive production Of cotton, the result
would have been failure. There never
has been time when corn and meat
could be purchased with the profits on
cotton more cheaply than they could
have been raised, and such was not the
case last year. Had even an individual
tried it, he would have met with failure
that would have been just as signal as
would have been a repetition OF the
experiment by the whole country.
But has the whole South profited by the
| lesson? THE ENQUIRER does not believe
it has. Where last year, large per cent.
of the people could not help themselves,
this year they will be enabled to do more
as they please, and failing to realize that
the backbone of independence is corn and
meat, they will try to reap another good
harvest where they enormously believe
they got the last one, and will plant more
cotton. AS the result, the lst of January,
1897, will find them in very much the

Rock HILL, January l5.-Messrs. l.. NJ.
Davis, p. c. Poag and j. E. Parker, have
been elected aldermen of this city. The
council will hold an election OH Friday
night for chief Of police and subordinate
policemen to serve for the next year.
Sheriff Hood, of Lancaster, was i'll town
on Monday. He came over after horse
thief and he got him,
The college girls still continue to arrive.
Robbins, of Fort Mill, was committed
to Jail on Monday, by Colonel Pride, to
await his trial at the coming L. S. court
at Greenville. The charge against him
was falsifying his mileage when witness
at the last court. j. P. Gregory, Lancas-
ter county, will be given hearing before
him tomorrow charged with perjury.
Mr.. V. b. McFadden's peafowls got
into the Arcade mill last Sunday, and be-
ing unable to find their way out, raised
quite a noise. This so frightened Tom
Jordan, the Sunday watchman, that he,
mistaking their cries for the yells of
drunken Negro, sent uptown after po-
liceman. The policeman found nothing,
Of course, and the crowd that followed
him returned disappointed.
The influx Of strangers to this place
still continues, and by the time our new
mills get ready for operation, the tene-
ment houses will all be filled.
The district stewards Of Rock Hill dis
trict held meeting here yesterday and
today.
Mr.. R. T. Fewell, who has been absent
for several days on business trip. has

same shape as did the lst Of January,

same shape as did the lst of January,
1895.
While THE ENQUIRER is satisfied that
the conditions are ripe to again catch the
South, as whole, in the trap from which
she has just escaped, there is no reason
why the individual farmer who desires
to save himself should be involved. The
same business principle that held good
last year will hold good this year, and
just as it applies to all the cotton growers
collectively, it will apply to a single cotton
grower individually. The farmer who
raises corn and meat as his principal crop
and cotton only as surplus, is bound to
realize profit, and on the other hand the
farmer who raises cotton as his principal
crop, and corn and meat as his surplus"
will only realize that tired feeling" that
he claims is occasioned to him by the
reading of such suggestions as The En-
oU1RER is here seeking to make.

A Creditable Piece Of Work.
The Spratt Machine company, Of Fort
Mill, is Just putting the finishing touches
on its contract for remOdeling the re sidence
of udge Withcrspoon. The residence is
of an old style of architecture, and the
Improvements include conservatory and
an enclosed veranda extending across the
entire front. The work was designed by
Mr.. H. E. White, of the company, and is
a splendid testimonial to his ability as an
architect.
Legal Matters.
The supreme court has handed down
its remittitur in the case of Jane G.
Mckenzie VS.. G. w. S. Hart and S. A.
SitfDrd, executors of j. S. Mckenzie, de-
ceased. The decision of the court below
i'm favor Of the defendant is affirmed. In
the case Of B. F. Avery Il Sons VS.. w. b.
Wilson, as assignee OF John Gelzer and
others, Judge Townsend has filed de-
cree vacating the assignment, and declar-
ed tour mortgages as null and void.
Down to Business.
Mr.. Pelham NJ orrow, manager of the
Yorkville Roller mills, has the thanks Of
THE ENQUIRER staff for liberal samples
of fancy patent flour, furnished to the
various members with his compliments.
The flour is up to the high standard that
prevails in this section, and seems to be
all that could be demanded. Mr.. Morrow
informs us that during the short time in
which his mill has been in operation, 1t
has ground about 700 bushels Of wheat and
almost as much corn.
The Electropoise.
In another column, Mr.. w. NJ. Propst
advertises that he is the sole agent in
York county for the "Electropoise,"
remarkable little invention that has found
gre at favor in this section during the past
few years. The invention is claimed to be
a sure specific for quite number OF
chronic troubles of very stubborn char
acter, and it does its work without the
help of fother physic. Mr.. Propst has been
selling the invention since its first intro
duction in this section, and among the
purchasers, are a dozen or more OF the
most prominent citizens of the county,
who are willing to back up with their
testimony some of the most wonderful
claims as to its virtures.

A new movement is being inaugurated
against the liquor traffic in this State.
1t is under the auspices of what is known
as the Gospel Temperance union," OF
which Mr.. T. J. LaMotte, of Columbia,
is secretary. In speaking Of the plans OF
the organization the other day, Secretary
LaMotte said that it was universally
conceded that the dispensary law had not
put stop to drunkenness, and there is
as much for temperance people to work
for as ever. The new constitution has
removed all possibility of the States
ever relapsing back into the old barroom
system, and the Prohibitionists now have
full swing tor fair fight against liquor
without any danger of loss to the cause.
The final object of the Gospel Temper
ance union is to restrict the use and sale
of LIQUOR to absolutely legitimate medical
purposes.
