CONFLICT OF
AUTHORITY.
Wood and Franklin Counries
Have a Jurisdiction
Dispute.

Winsboro, Wood Co., Tex,
March 26.-Wood and Frank
lin counties are liable to come
in conflict as to jurisdiction in
an alleged murder case. Mus
grove station is right on the
line of Wood and Franklin
counties. In a difficulty there
last Saturday evening &ill
Swanner is charged with hav
ing stabbed VIII Willard, who
today died from his injuries.
The difficulty occurred about
"a hundred yards over the
Franklin county line. Both
parties, however, line in Wood
county and Willard died in
Wood county. Afidavits were
made in both counties, charg
ing Swanner with murder, and
he is bound over to await the
action of the grand jury OF
both counties. The bail was
set in Wood county at $500
and in Franklin county at
$1,000, both of which bonds he
promptly furnished. Swanner
himself is making no fight
about it. but is willing to be
tried in either county. The
Wood county district court
convenes two weeks earlier
than the Franklin county court
and could indict him and try
him before the Franklin coun
ty court convenes and he could
not be tried. but once for the
same ofense, so up to date it
seems that Wood county has
the best of it.

FITZSfMMON'S
FAMILY TANGLE.

The Fitzsimmons family is
terribly mixed. Mrs. Fitzsim-
mons No. l married the broth
er of Mrs. FiIzsimmons No. 3.
Therefore, she is the sister in
law of her former husbands
wife. Mr.. Julian is the brother
in law of bis own wife, and the
stepfather of his nephew, Char
ley Filzsimmons, who is the
nephew of his own father. Bob
Fitzsimmons is brother in law
to his first wife, uncle of his
own son and stepfather and
uncle of his fret wife's daught-
or by Julian. Little Bob Fitz-
simmons is a first cousin of his
half brother, and being a step
son of Mrs. Fitz No. 1 is also
the stepson of his own uncle,
Mr.. Julian. The little Julian
girl is the slepdaughter of her
uncle, Robert Fitzsimmons, ST..
and consequently the daughter
of her own aunt. Space forbids
the pursuit of this family con
nection to its extreme possibil
ities.-GalVeston News.

COTTON CONVENTION.

President j. c. Wilborn, of the State
Farmers Alliance, has issued call for a
convention of the cotton growers Of South
Carolina, as stepping stone to conven-
ton of the cotton growers of the south,
whose object will be the regulation of
cotton acreage. The call, as published in
the daily papers of Thursday and signed
by President Wilborn, is as follows:
"As president of the Farmers State AL
lance organization of this state, L have
been requested by numbers OF the repre-
sentative members of the organization to
take the initiative in calling meeting OF
the farmers of the southern states, with a
view of suggesting some action IN the
future looking to the regulation OF the
acreage Of cotton; also to discuss the
plans and methods Of mark citing the cot
ton crop so that the producers of this
great staple shall receive the real market
value of the crop, and not be forced to
sacrifice the crop by unfair combinations,
together with the manipulations OF the
gambling cotton exchanges OF the coun-
try, aided by the unjust accumulation OF
all the money Of the country at one CEN
tire at the principal time of the year when
our cotton is going into market.
"With these objects in view | desire 10
request the cotton growers OF the various
counties in this state to meet on salesday
i'm November, and select one or more del
egates TO represent them at meeting to
be held in this city of Columbia on Wed
day night of fair week, for the purpose OF
discussing the matters mentioned aboVe.'

sumption of English goods is very con-
siderably reduced. Formerly, when we
bought literally of England, she could
afford to buy literally of us. The balance
of trade was in her favor. Now there is
double reason why she should fight shy
of us. One reason is because we do not
trade so much with her. But the other
and more important reason is, since she
cannot buy so much of our products with
goods, she sees that she must be careful
how she sends out her money. With the
balance of trade SO largely in our favor, it
would only be matter of time until we
had most of her gold. But as England
now has the gold, she evidently means to
hold on to it. It is in pursuance OF this
policy, very likely, that she has fixed the
low price of cotton. Anyway, it looks
reasonable, and, taken altogether, it is an
other argument why we should have a
financial system of our own. High tariff
and free coinage would work beautifully.
Under such an arrangement the United
States would become its own master.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-10-30
THEY GOT 6 CENTS.

Here is little story, but a true story,
which carries a little lesson which ought
not to be lost.
Last Thursday, some parties from the
neighborhood of Tirzah carried from IL
to Is bales of cotton to Kings Mountain.
They had been told that cotton was bring
ing cents up there, and they figured that
they could afford to travel the 26 miles
from Tirzah, or the 20 miles beyond York
Vile, for the difference that Kings Noun
tain was paying, over the two points
mentioned.
Well the parties sold the cotton and
they got cents-that is, each OF them
got & cents for one bale. The price was
paid for three bales-so it is reported
and the balance brought, not 6 cents; but
5.75.
1t was long trip, and no doubt an en-
joyable one. But as business PROPOSE
ton, it was altogether unnecessary. Ex-
cept for that extra quarter Of a cent on
one bale in each lot, Yorkville would
have done just as well, if not better.
But, under the circumstances, almost
anybody ought to be able to figure out
that 6 cents racket. 1t was just bait,
and very cheap bait at that, to induce
cotton to 60 to Kings Mountain in wag-
ons, so the mills can save freight. If 6
cents had been paid all round-the grade
was practically the same-the scheme
would not have been so transparent.
