FORT MILL MATTERS.

Lots of Fertilizers-WiIl Move to the Coun-
try-sudden Death-Other Notes.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
FORT MILL, February 5.-For the past
two weeks, the farmers have hauled out
an immense amount of fertilizers. They
seem to have forgotten that they were
forced to sell their cotton for or cents,
because there was an overproduction IN
1894. And to my opinion, every farmer
should act according to the advice given
by T. N. Kendrick in The ENQUIRER OF
January 20, by cutting down the cotton
acr cage but they seem to be afraid that
somebody will raise more. than he will.
So he puts in every foot that he can posi-
bly, work, and in face of the fact that so
many do this there is an over production
hence the price is4 or cents.
Mr.. j. ]. Ormand says he is tired OF
town life, and in consequence OF the fact,
is having a neat little cottage erected on
his farm near Dinkins's ferry where he
will spend the summer Fishing"
Miss Anna Sparrow, charming young
lady of Davidson College, is visiting
Mrs. L. j. Massey.
Rev. ]. E. Herring, the pastor, preach
ed very able sermon at the Baptist
church Sunday morning to an attentive
congregation. With new house OF wor-
ship and an earnest pastor, this church
promises to be medium through which
much good may be done.
We are glad to note that the health OF
Miss Ella McMurray is rapidly improving
after severe case Of typhoid fever.
Mr.. J. NJ. Harris is able to be out again,
after an illness of three weeks
Chief Of Police Johnston has been laid
up with the mumps, for several days; but
is again on duty.
Mr.. A. j. Downs, aged 81, who is well
known as blacksmith, throughout this
township, fell dead in front of the post
office, Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock.
Death resulted from heart disease. Mr.,
Downs had been to the depot, to getsome
coal, and on his return trip with his
wheelbarrow of coal, stopped at the of
flee, and was waiting for the mail to be
opened when he fell. He only strangled
about twice, and life was extinct. Mr..
Downs was Confederate soldier and
moved to Fort Mill, just after. the close Of
the war, and has ever since been resi-
dent here. He leaves wife, four daugh-
ters, and two sons to mourn. his loss, and
to the bereaved family, we extend our
heartfelt sympathy, and pray that they
will look unto him, 'who doeth all things
WE'LL" for guidance and protection.

LOST HIS CHANCE.

'I feel like I have lost $50, ,OOO," said an
amateur speculator, whose hindsight is
better than his foresight, in the post office
Yesterday as he read in the paper the
result of the opening Of the proposal fol-
the SlOO, 100000 bond issue.
"And how is that ?" asked an interested
listener who was fully aware that the
amateur speculator would have found
difficulty in negotiating a check for q
dollar-and-a-half.
"Well, it was this way" continued the
first speaker, dejectedly. Ever since the
treasury advertised for proposals, I have
been thinking of putting in bid for 81,
OO0, 900, just to help along the cause, you
know. Now, suppose 1 had done it at
say liz. According 10 my understanding,
you don't have to pay anything until you
are notified that your bid is accepted.
Well, liz would be bound to receive con-
sideration, and the department would no.
tify me of my success. have no money
but that does not make any difference.
see by The State that the bonds are al
ready selling on the stock exchange for
III, and if had an option on 81 900, 900, all
I would have to do would be to just as
sign my bid to broker, and tell him to
sell the bonds for all he could get for
them. After paying commissions,
would be better off to the tune of some
thing like $4,000. See?"
And the amateur speculator, whose
hindsight is better than his foresight,
folded the paper sorrowfully inwardly
vcwing, no doubt, that the next time
Mr.. Carlisle calls for slOO, ,OOO, 900 loan, he
will not fail to subscribe for the whole
amount.

TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC

The Herald has received reliable In
formation that certain transportation
lines are using grossly unfair and pro-
scriptive methods to suppress its sale
through newsboys and news agents.
The reason obviously is that the monop-
olies are so strongly in favor of gold
and Mckinley that they discountenance
the sale of literature pertaining to Bryan
or silver sold on their trains.
Any one who is unable to procure the
Herald under such circumstances will
confer a special favor by notifying the
r1blishers, either in person or by letter,
as it is proposed to resent any unfair
discrimination by all proper and legal
process possible.
Such methods are but another indica-
tion Of the fearfulness with which the
big monopolies and giant trusts regard
the irrepressible tide in favor of the
peoples champion and the remonetiza-
tion Of silver. Some of the railroad
companies have forgotten that they are
the we'll paid servants Of the public.
The news agent on car is presumably
for the convenience Of the travelling
public. and it is a fragrant offense to
the public that they cannot procure
such literature or journals as they desire.
The biographies and speeches Of BryhA
and Sewall, published in book form,
have been studiously boycotted on GER
tain railways. 1t certainly is not prob
able that the travelling public in search
Of such will be satisfied with anything
else, and q railroad company In counte-
nancing such practices only demeans
itself in the public eye.

I THE POLITE WORLD

! Miss Helen Sobieski Ball and Mr..
William Fitzherbert West were united
| in marriage last night at o'clock at the
| home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Ball, on West Adams street.
The event is the most notable of the fall
season and inaugurates the festivities
for the winter. Amidst a large number
of friends, artistic decorations and the
fascinating sound of music, the cere-
mony was performed. Rev. Alfred S.
Clark officiated.
The bride was attired in a handsome
gown of cream brocaded silk. The skirt
was cut with court train and was per-
fectly plain, with the exception Of a
heavy fall of cascaded duchess lace on
one SIDE The veil was held with a
crown of orange blossoms and fell in
graceful folds to the edge of the skirt
The bodice was high neck, made with a
becomingly draped front, which was
edged with duchess lace. The standing
collar was finished with lace, being held
by a diamond cross. The double-puffed
elbow sleeves were met by long gloves,
and in her hand she held white carna-
tions. Miss Hattie kimball acted as
maid of honor and wore pretty gown
of white mouss cline de sole over pink
silk. The waist was formed of inser-
tion and small ruffles edged with lace
The puffed sleeves were finished with
ruffies, and a deep ruffle of insertion
with heading of lace finished the skirt
The bouquet was of La France roses.
Miss Lillian Wellborn and Miss May
Newton were the bridesmaids. Mss
Wellborn wSre white organdie over
white silk. finished with blue ribbons.
She carried white carnations. Miss
Newton wore a toilet of white organdie
over blue, with white ribbons; white
carnations were the flowers. Mr.. Dee
Sale was the best man, the ushers be-
ing George Stamm, George Lawrence,
Fred Henderson and Horace Hender-
son. Promptly at o'clock the bridal
procession was formed. Three little
ribbon bearers, Master Atheling Eng
lish, Master Thomas Neal Creighton
and Master Will Creighton, jr., formed
an aisle from the winding stairway
through the back room to the bay win
dow of the dragging room. which was
massed with potted plants and ferns.
and overhead was a pretty, arrange
ment of white blossoms from which ra-
dated ropes of smilax in all directions
The bride entered the room on the arm
of her father, who gave her into the
keeping Of the groom. The brle used
the wedding ring of her mother, which
marked a similar happy event of many
years ago.
All the rooms were canvased. the
white floor throwing into relief the va
ried colors of the flowers and the great
quantities Of green that graced the
rooms. The room in which the service
was performed and the adjoining one
was entirely in white and green. In
striking contrast was the broad hall,
where crimson roses and geraniums did
duty. Ropes of smilax were used here
also, and in all the rooms was gener-
GUS touch of the dainty vine. Pink was
used with much effect in the reception
room, carnations and roses predominant
ing. Blue and white was the chosen COL
or for the supper room. Plumbago was
massed on the mantel, and on the brides
ia BILE was a scattering of orange bios.

LABOR AND CAPITAL

Mr.. Bryan's letter of acceptance,
which appeared in Wednesdays Herald.
contains many gems of truth worthy of
careful consideration. To one Of them
we desire to call special attention. The
coming president says: Labor creates
capital"
This statement embodies very i'm
portant economic truth, and one which
is quite generally overlooked or misun-
derstood, even by those who claim to be
familiar with the principles of sound
political economy Through ignorance
or misapplication of terms people are
led to regard labor and capital as ma
tural enemies of each other. They are
prone to look upon labor troubles as
the results of "capitalistic oppression"
Nothing could be much farther from the,
exact truth. 1t often happens, under our
unjust social conditions, that labor and
capital are engaged in an apparent
struggle with each other, as if they were
really rivals and enemies. But such is
not the case. In all such instances both
labor and capital are suffering from
the encroachments of monopoly. in one
form or another, and it is to escape
from monopolistic oppression that they
are apparently contending against each
other. Destroy the monopoly and there
will no longer be even the outward ap-
pearance of a quarrel between labor and
capital.
Land Is the passive factor in wealth
production No wealth can possibly be
produced without the use of land. La
Dor is the primary active factor in the
production of wealth. Capital, the pro-
duct of labor, comes. in as a secondary
factor in production. Capital is really
stored up or crystallized labor. Without
capital, labor could do but sittle, yet
capital must be produced by labor be-
fore 1t can exist
All capital is wealth, yet not all wealth
is capital Wealth used as an aid to la
in the economic meaning of the term,
capital. BY recognizing the harmonious
relation between, labor and capital it
is easy to understand the Importance of
both factors in developing the natural
resources that surround us.
Laboring classes should not harbor
feelings of hostility toward capitalists,
as such. All persons engaged in any
useful occupation are laborers, whether
they employ themselves or are employed
by others. All persons are capitalists
who own anything that is used in wealth
production. The boat and fishing appa-
ratus Of the man who catches fish for a
livelihood are his capital The horses
and plow Of the working farmer are his
capital. The shovel or spade of the day
laborer working on the highway is his
capital. The merchants goods are his
capital. and the bankers outfit is his.

The Republican press is perpetually
growing that Mr.. Bryan talks too much
and yet they pretend to find solace in the
assertion that each speech of his makes
Republican converts. The st. Louis

that every time he makes a speech he
makes from 1000 to 1900 converts to Re-
