In the future when the Lotus Quar-
tette go out serenading they will be
very careful not to seat themselves in a
hammock while rendering their songs
until after first ascertaining If it is
occupied In the twilight a hammock
is very deceptive in appearance-it
may look empty and yet be well filled,
and during this warm weather there
are people who sleep in hammocks in
preference to OCCUPYING their customary
sleeping apartments. ''It's all over
now" and no harm WAS done, but just
think what would have become of the
fair dreamer If the heavy member of the
quartette had dropped himself into a
certain hammock last Friday night.
It's really painful to contemplate.

Pretty Good Farming.
. Mr.. 8. w. Inman, who is on portion
Of the old "Glenn plantation" just, with
out the western incorporate limits. of
Yorkville, has made record this year
that is worthy of mention. With two
mules, he made, on So acres Of Land,
60 bales Of cotton. He worked three
mules altogether; but one Of them was
kept in the corn crop during the whole
year. Mr.. Inman, however, is not dis.
posed to claim too much credit, Some he
gives to the land, which, he says, goes to-
make up one of the best farms In the
country. But, all the same, he fertilized'
with a liberal hand. The fertilization
included 100 bushels Of, cotton seed,
IA loads of stable manure, and,,66 sacks
of guano and acid. The guano, he
says, was put in with the cotton seed
at the time of planting, and this, he
claims, is worth $40 ton more than
when drilled in according to the us
ual custom. ~

cial organization is perfected and you pro-
tect yourselves, things will remain as they
are, no matter II you have 30 organiza-
tions and meet every week in the year,
you can never hope for any prosperity.
Time will prove and simply await results.
If there has been anything new developed
at any of these cotton growers conven-
tions since they have been organized,
have been unable to find It. The average
price for cotton for the year, ending Sep
tember 1t, 1891, was 9.03; the Interna-
tional Cotton Growers association was
formed, I understand, early In 1892; the
highest average FOR ANY YEAR SINCE has
been $4.OO bale less than the LOWEST
AVERAGE SINCE 1s48, so you can see how
the manipulators Of cotton regard these
conventions. They figure you at 80 much
Der head and they have to do 1t In order
to keep you in dependent condition.
I should like to explain why, having
only gold, the money market can be cor
nered. I should like also to give my
views of the future prosperity OF the
cotton mill industry Of the south: If
Manchester sends it's machinery to India
decide the south shall manufacture the
goods, predict that they will have the
cotton mill industry within 10 years as
much in their hands as they now have
the southern farmer.
You can meet and resolute as often as
you please. You can discuss the same
old topics that have been discussed for
years but until you find out the cause
of your present condition, you are vast
ing both time and money.
I may have to 60 to Chicago next week,
and possibly further west; but rest as
sured that I shall make every effort TO
be with you. Very truly yours,
. JNo. T. RoDDEY.

RODDEY TO MR.. WILLIAMS.

Mr.. John T. Roddey, of New York,
has written the following letter, dated
December 81, to Mr.. l.. R. Williams,
president of the York County Cotton
Growers association, and with Mr.. Rod
dey's consent, Mr.. Williams has handed
it to The ENQUIRER for publication:
Mr.. L. r. WILLIAMS, Yorkville, S. c.:
My DEAR SIR: shall use every effort
possible to be with you at your county
meeting. More particularly now do l
consider it necessary to explain the exact
situation, as I realize that the work OF the
Atlanta convention amounts to absolute
ly nothing. 1 also realize, in my humble
Judgment, that your meetings will cost
both time and money, and at the same
time do not think will amount to any
thing, because the people at the head OF
the movement do not seem to know the
cause of your financial condition but po-
litical ambition and personal vanity seem
to be the ruling spirits.
The amount of cotton in the world, or
the visible supply, is less than at anytime
since 1890, the European stocks are less
than at any time since 1880, and yet the
price is lower; but the reason is (and all
the meetings you have for the next ten
years will not prevent it, that over 80 per
cent. of the cotton goods trade or the
world is in the hands of Great Britain,
Germany and France, and unless flnan-

we understand, is German, who, some

article is one of the strongest that we
have seen on his side of the subject, at

him in his conclusions. However, this

satisfied that Rev. Mr.. Thacker is we'll
able to take care of himself in the matter,
we shall not embarrass the situation with

tons under which the killing occurred
are not known in Washington yet, and
the state department is trying to learn
them through the United States min
ister to Toxic and the United States
consuls in Japan, preliminary to deter
mining whether steps shall be taken
to secure reparation, if it shall be
found that the killing was, as is ex-
pected, upjustifable. The first killing
was of q sailor named Montgomery,
formerly attached to the Yorktown,
while she was on the Asiatic station,
and the last was of Frank Epps, a
sailor, native of New York, and an
apprentice on the flagship Olympia.
He was killed at Nagasaki. The OFF,
cials have been advised of the bare
facts only, but following so closely on
the terrible assault at Kobi last Sep
tember, of Japanese mob upon the
sailors of the Yorktown, these killings
have aroused them to determination
to secure protection for our sailors in
Japanese ports.

BROKE UP THE o. p.

Sheriff Logan broke up the o. P. shop
at Tirzah last Tuesday, root and branch
but the thing was re-established on
Thursday and is again fourishing.
AS has already been published, Super
visor Culp, sometime ago, notified the y.
P. agent that on account of his having
failed to make return within 30 days at
ter commencing business, he was liable
to fine of 800, and requested him to
hand over the money.
The o. P. agent failed to come down
with the cash, and, on Tuesday, Sheriff
Logan went down with an attachment
and four or five wagons, seized the con-
tents of the establishment, packed them
in wagons, brought them to Yorkville,
and stored them in the Jail.
The seizure included the following
266 quarts corn whisky, 2 quarts rye, 4
quarts brandy, 554 pints corn, 81 pints
rye, % pints brandy, 565 half-pints OF
corn, lob half.pints Of rye, AZ gallon jugs
of corn, 26 half-gallon jugs and 4 quart
jugs of corn.
Mr.. J. F. Jenkins, the owner Of the
original package shop, came down 10
Yorkville on Wednesday, gave bond in
the amount of $500 to answer the super
visor's alleged cause of action, resumed
possession of his packages and had them
hauled back to Tirzah.
In the removal Of the bottles from Tir-
zah, there was some breakage, aud Sheriff
Logan thinks, also, some stealage. A
portion of the trip was made after night
and it was impossible for the sheriff to
keep his eye on each one of the five wag-
ons all at the same time. Anyhow, when
he returned the bottles to Mr.. Jenkins,
there were missing three quarts, four
pints, and 3S half-pints. Whichever side
wins, the county will have to make good
the loss,

SMALLPOX IN ATLANTA.

Here is the smallpox situation In At
lanta, as stated on Wednesday, by Dr.lJ.
F. Alexander, president of the city's
board of health:
ITO show the exact situation in the city
regarding the smallpox, as it is now and
has been, I make the following state
ment: The total number of cases OF
smallpox, since the presence of the dis
ease was first discovered in Atlanta, is
203; the number which have recovered
and been released from the hospital is 4S
the number of deaths is /, that being q
Negro child. The total number of cases
in the hospital today is l54.
"The above statement is positively cor
rect and true and there has never been,
since the disease was first discovered, any
effort to con9eal the exact status of affairs.
By constant and weli-directed efforts on
the part Of the sanitary officers, we feel
satisfied th4t we have the disease COM
pletely under control.
"In addition to that, we have carried on
"a we'll regulated system Of vaccination,
having succeeded in vaccinating in the
neighborhood of $4,000 people, and we
are confident that by this time Urge
majority of tbe citizens Of Atlanta are
immunes. TIE smallpox, such as we
have had in this city this year, is very
mild type of the disease, as may be seen
from the number Of deaths. which have
resulted.
"The disease was confined mostly to the
Negroes, the number Of white patients
having been only about IL or Is, and no
one need have any fear about coming to
Atlanta to transact business, especially If
they have been vaccinated. The reports
that are abroad throughout the country
in regard to the situation are totally in
correct and untrue, and those who do not
reside here seem to have more apprehen-
sion on account of the presence Of the dis
ease than have our own people,"

Mr.. E. D. Thompson, of Point, out
lines, in another column, plan for
cotton planting contest, which, If worked
out in detail, will no doubt prove inter-
esting. The first step will be to find out
whether or not State Treasurer Thinner
man will act as custodian of the proposed
fund. If he agrees, then Mr.. Thompson
may 90 on with his undertaking and
further information will appear later. If
Treasurer Zimmerman, however, should
not care to serve as is desired, then other
arrangements will be made, and Of these
the public will be duly advised.

Eta JANE, December 2O.-The wealth
er has been quite cold and wet for few
days, and making fires and sitting by
them is about all our people can do now.
The farmers have finished sowing
wheat, and a good crop of it has been
sown. There is more wheat sown this
year than has been sown in 10 years.
The potatoes are rotting in many places.
Mr.. C. w. Whisonant. our county rep
resentative in the state legislature, killed
hog a few days ago which weighed 400.
Calvin is a native of York county, and
withal one of our livest business men.
His friends speak of putting him forward
for the state senate next year.
Messrs. S. S. White, of Boston; F. M.
Ambrose, of New York and Professor
Bedlen, of Converse college, have been
spending a few days with Mr.. w. r.
Walker on his plantation, near Sunny
side, shooting quail. They report an en-
joyable time with fine sport.
Christmas is nearly here; but our peo-
pie say they are not ready for it. The
low price of cotton has knocked all the
enterprise apparently out of our people.
j. R. Poole, Esq, of this county, has
called my attention to the fact that the
law compelling each of the townships
constituting the county of Cherokee to
pay their pro rata part Of their respective
old county's Indebtedness, is unconstitu-
tional in that, he says, that the indebted
ness of these various townships cut of
must he borne by the entire county so
formed. Our legislature will have some
thing to do to untangle all these legal
knots.
The property of the estate of Jos. G.
Love, Sr., deceased, was not sold last
Saturday as advertised. For reasons sat-
isfactory to himself, ]. H. McKissick,
Esq, clerk of the court, as administrator,
called off the sale.
Miss Mamie Crosby will spend her hol-
idays with friends and relatives at Sharon.
The Christmas holidays will soon be
upon US, with all its joys and pleasures.
We wish all your readers merry Christ
mas and happy prosperous New Year.
