What The Pilot correspondent says
above is all true But there is this to
be said in exclamation of appealing to
teachers: They will heed anything
in reason. Parents think it is the
''otner boys" who need teaching as to
proper conduct. There is no hope in
appealing to them. While teachers
are not responsible for the conduct of
the youth they can do a great deal
toward making it less reprehensible

not long since been applied, seems
strange. Suppose, for instance, there was
at Yorkville big warehouse, capable of
holding in security some 1000 or 5000
bales of cotton. This would do much to
relieve the situation at times like this,
and, in fact, could be made permanently
useful.
Cotton, in warehouse, protected from
the weather and covered by insurance, is
much more secure than on the farms.
Not only this, at some price or other, it is
always good security for borrowed money.
A warehouse receipt, issued by RESPONSE
BILE people, would be accepted by banks
and individuals as giltedge collateral.
Then, with such an arrangement as is
here suggested, there would be no reason
why all the capital that is now tied up in
cotton, should continue idle. A part OF
it, at least, might be put in circulation to
the great benefit of business generally,
and the owners of it would still be In q
position to get the benefit Of any possible
rise.
And as to the warehouse itself, its erec-
ton ought to be an easy matter. A very
small sum per bale, per month, would
make big aggregate rental, pay all ex'
penses, and yield handsome return fol
the money invested. Perhaps there is
not now in the town an individual capi'
talists who cares to enter singlehanded
into an undertaking of the kind; but
what about stock company? 1t would
pay the stockholders, it would pay the
town, and it would pay the surrounding
country.

LOCAL WAREHOUSE.

Now, while cotton is uppermost in the
minds of all business men, as plain bus
mess proposition, what is the matter with
local application of the sub-treasury
plan along lines especially adapted to the
occasion?
Although business is pretty stagnant
just now, there is no real reason why
things should be at standstill. Our peo-
pie have the wherewithal to liven things
up, and little study of the situation will
develop that all that is necessary to bring
about much to be desired change, is an
intelligent use of the proper means.
For instance, look at the existing sit
uation. Within radius of half dozen
miles of Yorkville, there are now in the
hands of the producers, several thousand
bales of cotton. Much of this cotton is
owned by the producers, clear of all OBJ
legations; but in great deal of the bal
ance of it, supply men and other mer-
chants have large interests. Where mer-
chants are interested. Of course, they have
only to press their claims to get their
money; but on account of the low price
now prevailing, except when compelled
by their own necessities, they are unwill-
ing to do this. Producers who own their
crops free of outstanding claims against
it, are, as rule, only able to hold it at
considerable loss to themselves. And in
the case of both classes of holders, the
situation is expensive to the general bus
mess interests of the community.
But there is q remedy, and why it has

THE COTTON PROBLEM.

Just now, while cotton production and
plans for the control Of acreage and prices,
etc., are beginning to receive more wide
spread attention than for many years past,
it is not out of place to remark that while
these things are all very we'll, there are
other matters in the same connection
which are also entitled to serious consid-
Grafton.
That the price of cotton is now danger
ously close to the cost of production ; that
this condition of affairs is due in larger
measure to manipulation of spectators ;
that organization of the cotton producers
of the south is rendered imperative as
measure of self-defense that such organ
ization carried along intelligent lines will
prove of great temporary advantage to
cotton growers, and that it is to the inter-
est of all the trades, vocations and in
dustries of the south to help the work
along-all these things we believe firmly ;
but let us not pin all our faith in this di-
rection. There are other things just as
important and more SO.
The prospective benefits of the pro-
posed Cotton Growers association are
necessarily speculative. Although the
reasoning upon which the idea is based
appears to be clear and correct, it will be
very well to remember that, in the very
nature of the case, no advantage in this
direction can be more than temporary.
For instance, granted that the price OF
cotton is now fixed largely by specula-
tors, and granted also that by means OF
the proposed organization spectators
may be eliminated, then at once will be
restored the memorable laws Of supply
and demand, and the present struggle,
though relatively under more advantage
Gus circumstances, will continue rs now.
Therefore, whatever else we do, let us
not forget that the real basis of prosperi-
ty is intelligent, persistent and arduous
labor. While if our judgment so prompts
us, we may engage in an organized effort
against those who are antagonizing our
interests, don't let us become so enthusi
astic as to be deluded into belief that
this will be complete solution of the
problem. No organization, no expe-
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-12-01

dient, no new financial system-nothing
except painstaking labor, and lots of it.,
can bring permanent prosperity.
To all of us, 5 cents cotton looks hard.
It is hard. Worse than that, it is unfair.
1t is due in large measure to sectional
and political discrimination that is act
ually criminal. The remedy, in large
measure, lies in some of the business and
political schemes that are now receiving
favorable attention. But none Of these
schemes will ever do it all. Even now,
under circumstances as discouraging as
the present, we may look about us and
in each section see where one man who,
without superior physical advantages, is
doing better than his neighbors, and still
managing to prosper. If we will look
more carefully we will find that in each
instance these men are working little
harder, living little closer, and mana
ging with more intelligence, etc. They
are the ones who know how to accommo-
date themselves to conditions. If condi-
tions grow better these men will prosper
more but with regard to other people
just in the same proportion. Then con-
ceding that they hold the true secret of
the situation, let us all take from them a
lesson, and while doing the best that lies
in our power to make conditions better,
lei us remember that we must not for a
moment fail to make the best possible
use of even unfavorable present condi-
tions.

THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER trans
crosses the proprieties. in our judg-
ment, when it undertakes to stiglnatize q
paragraph in our columns as "vicious,"
which was legitimate and proper in the
estimation of the writer. 1t was neither
depraved, spiteful, wicked, malicious or
corrupt, and these are the recognized
equivalents of "vicious." We do not con.
cede to The ENQUIRER, or any other
newspaper, the right or privilege of de.
nouncing our methods of expression, and
we think its course in this instance
smacks largely of impertinence. we re-
gret to use this language with reference
to newspaper which has always COM
manded our respect, if we did not agree
with it's position on public matters; but
our contemporary has certainly strayed
beyond the bounds of journalistic ethics
in its arraignment Of the newspapers who
differ with it about the tragic incident in
which Newbold took the life of an unof-
Tending citizen. AS to its conclusion that
Newbold was guilty of manslaughter,
we think any reputable lawyer will in
form THE ENQUIRER that there was not
a single element of manslaughter in the
whole affair.-Greenville Mountaineer.
From the above, it would appear that
our contemporary has been hit harder
than we thought, and instead of being
offended at its apparent defiance, we are
rather gratified at what we take to be all
evidence that it has really come to give
the matter some serious consideration.
In defense of Newbold we have not said
word, and we are not going to say a
word. But because poor Turner was
sent to his death without warning, no
matter what the circumstances, is no rea-
son why hiselayer should be condemned
without a trial. Thus, in our opinion.
the newspapers which so lightly convict
and sentence, are in wonderfully close
touch with the mob that would execute.
The whole tendency is bad, and to GEN.
sure one without the other, is unfair.
We were somewhat harsh, perhaps, i'll
designating our contemporary's language
as "vicious," and we believe that had we
said "thoughtless" instead, we would
have been more just. But further than
this, we are not inclined to retraction.
Whatever may be the demands of justice
in this special case, there is no question
of the fact that, so far, the testimony has
developed no legal element of murder,
and we would suggest to our contempo-
rary that if it would avoid making fur
ther spectacle of itself, it might do well
to 90 now and discuss the whole matter
calmly and dispassionately with some
really reputable lawyer. Though New
bold's crime is none the less grievous on
account of the fact, according to the de-
veloped testimony, the worst that the law
makes of it is manslaughter.

AMBITION OF Mr.. HILL.-The New
York World declares that David B.
Hill deserves all the credit for the re-
suit of the election in this state this
year. 1t evidently expects to see him
nominated for governor next year, and
if he should be elected, it says, che
will very certainly he a strong candid
ate before the next national convention
for the presidential nomination"
There is reason to believe that this
is Mr.. Hills objective point and that
the talk that he is after Mr.. Murphy's
seat in the senate is mere bluff. A
man who is once seized with the presi-
dental fever never RECEIVERS, and Mr..
Hill has the fever in most vlrulent
form.
This is why he is so anxious to side
track the silver question. If he can
push that out Of sight, he will be ready
to accept all the soclalistic doctrine
that is contained in the Chicago plat
form. This will be his main purpose
and TO it all his energies will be bent

Is it not this: That one may insult anoth-
er. and if the insulted person but move
his hand the aggressor has right to pre-
sumo that, in violation of the law, the
insulted party is armed with weapon,
and that, therefore, the aggressor has the
right to shoot him down in self-detense.
Was ever before such a monstrous doc.
trine tolerated. And upon what is it
based but the assumed cowardice OF the
aggressor-his apprehension and fear OF
injury.
And who has not seen just this very
state of affairs time and again? Under
the common law, for instance, a word
does not justify blow. All recognize
this; but how often is it that we see
craven towards with their murderous
hands holding concealed pistols apply
abusive and insulting epithets to unarm-
ed objects of their malevolence, and
then, at the very first sign of just resent
ment, out with their pistols and commit
assassination. That is the history of IS
per cent. of the murders in South Caro-
lima, yet in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred the jury finds self-defense.
But what is the remedy? Many who
read this will remember to have some
time or other heard the suggestion,
"While it is generally recognized that
jurors acquit white men of murder, many
who might otherwise commit this crime
are restrained by fear that public senti-
ment might undergo a sudden change"
And would that such a change should
come speedily. But until public opinion
strips from the murderer the glamor of
the hero, and leaves him the contempti-
ble-the spisable-coward that he is,
there is little reason to hope for improve
ment.

1t is reported on what appears to be
good authority, that number of Chica-
go capitalists are arranging to exhibit at
the Paris exposition, life-sized statue of
William Mckinley in solid gold. The
bullion in the statue, it is estimated, will
be worth $l,O5O,OOO. Just what is the OBJ
ject of the capitalists we are unable to see ;
but if they would have the statue true to
life and more correctly representative OF
the effect that the "prosperity'' president
has produced on the country, they can,
with a much smaller outlay to them
selves, have the work done in brass.

Increase In the Wheat Acreage-Some-
thing About Farm Economy - Brief
Lecture on the Duties Of Public School
Patrons.
Correspondence Of the Yorkvills Enquirer.
ZADoK, November 29.-Most of the
people hereabouts are through sowing
wheat, and the increase in acreage, as
compared with last year, is gratifyingly
large. 1t looks as if our people have
about learned that they cannot afford to
pay SO hundred for flour with cents
cotton.
Well, I'll just tell you how it is. If a
man should leave home on foot, travelling
only every other day and taking no ac-
count of the number Of miles travelled, it
would not take him long to realize that it
might take good while to get back.
This illustration is suggested to me by
the fact that so many people are trying to
figure out living in cents cotton with
out taking into consideration the source
of their supplies Of bread and meat.
They are as aimless as blind horse turn
ed to grass, and there i5 not in their make
up, appreciation of the real economy OF
farming to teach mule colt to plow with
one line. That is why so many people
are today standing where Moses was
when the light went out.
My wife and have been little cross
ways for the last six months, and if I
should make somebody mad before I get
through with this letter, the reason is ex-
planned. But what has got to be the matter
with our old field schools, nowadays? I
hear a great deal of complaint from the
patrons of different schools as to the res
pective teachers. really believe that if
there were no such thing as a superin-
tendent of education, and patrons of each
public school had to elect their teacher by
