Tt is a matter of regret that Mr.. Rock
efeller whose benefactions have been on
so large scale should, in an effort to
promote religion, be involved in law
suit. The suit was brought by the Rev.
D. @. Potter of the Tabernacle Baptist
church in New York to recover interest
on defaulting railroad BOMBS. 1t was
proposed to build home for young
women and Mr.. Rockefeller gave $50, 600
worth of Northern Pacific bonds bearing
s per cent interest. The Northern Pacific
defaulted. on the interest and the church,
through Mr.. Potter, claimed that MIR.
Rockefeller was obliged to make 1t good
and accordingly caused suit for the over
due interest to be instituted. Justice
Pryor before whom the case was tried
was inclined to the opinion that when
Mr.. Rockefeller deposited the bonds he
discharged all obligations, and that If
the contract can be proved as stated he
did not think 10 was such contract az
could be enforced in a court Of equity.

CURRENT COMMENT.
INSTRUCTIVE ARTICLES.
Portland Advertiser.

Apropos of the city charter, Richard
Webb, ESQ.,, is contributing to the Port
land PRESS series OF instructive ar.
ticles on the subject. In these, which
are mainly favorable to the proposed
chapges, MIR. Webb has analy zed the
nature and functions of municipal gov
ernmsnt, and has presented faults de-
veloped in practivs and methods tried or
proposed for remedying them. he shows
that under our present. charter the exc,
outiye functions are largely all exercised
by the legislative branch, which is CON
trary to the genius of our institutions
and the tendency of the times toward In,
vesting the municipal executive with 1uli
power and responsibility. He disposes
OF objections to the one-ohambez coun-
oil, and shows that it has been thorough
ly tested in many cities and has worked
satisfactorily. These papers present a
mass Of valuable facts and will do much
to help clear misunderstanding of the
question,

THE ARBITRATION TREATY
(Springfield Republican,

Tho English exult even more than our
selves over the negotiations of the arbi-
tration treaty. 1t frees them from ap-
prehensions of war in this part Of the
earth, and enables them to put up a
stronger front in quarters where their
empire for years has been moro seriously
threatened. 10 Russia this aspect OF the
case is doubtless very cloar, whence
arises the absurd rumor that the Russian
government may try to defeat the treaty
in the Senate. On our own side the prao-
teal reasons for rejoicing are quite as
trong as Cd the side of Britain. The
treaty has the effect of detachine Great
Britain from any possible coalition of
European powers against the United
States, and with Great Britain left out
no such coalition would be worth the
ink and paper necessary to form it. The
sentimental reasops,o of course, have been
unusually powerful in bringing about the
treaty, but careful scrutiny reveals also
the practical advantages to each power
that may accrue from it,

Coxey OF the Commonwealth Army has
broken loose again. He says: The Peo-
ple's party is dead. It's leaders proved
false to the people who Teposed their
faith in them. They can never be trusted
again. Therefore !, if the country is to
be saved at all an entirely new reform
organization must be pushed to the front
to take upon itself this burden. With
this end in view and calling to his aid
such political freaks as Carl Browne
and Mr.. Streeter he proposes to launch
now political party to he known either
as the american Party"or the "United
States Party" Whatever else may result
it is ainestly TO be hoped that this move

Another example of senatorial dis
greatness is furnished by Senator. elect
Money, who has been making tour of
Havana to see for himself the condition
of the rebellion. While he was there
Consul General Lee committed to him
certain information to lie communicated
to the State Department. AS soon as
he landed in this country he proceed
ed to communicate it to the State De-
partment through the agency of the
newspapers. OF course his performance
has greatly EN- barrassed Consul-General
Lee. But Money insists that the matter
is of no consequence, blandly saying
that he thought the American people
were entitled to any information one of
their consuls might have. One can easily
iufer how discreetly negotiations with
foreign nations would be carried on In
a Senate that contained Money and
Mills.

According to dispatches from the West
the failure of the paper pool was due to

The Attorney General of the State Of
Wisconsin announced that if the manu-
facturers OF that state Joined in the COM
bination, proceedings would be at once in
stituted by hint to haveItheir charters re-
yoked. This fact coupled with talk of a
congressional inquiry in the East
doubtless had tendency to bring nego-
.iations to sudden close. 1t seems to
be the opinion of many manufacturers
that under the proposed arrangement
misunderstanding sswould constantly
have arisen and that all interests could
not be harmonized.

COLONEL ORR ON THE ROUND BALE.
Colonel James L. Orr, president of the
Piedmont Cotton Manufacturing COM
pany, of Piedmont, S. c., takes the po.
sition that the proposed. cylind rical
process of baling cotton is to the inter-
est neither of the manufacturer nor
producer. He argues that if the
American Cotton company is allowed
to put up its own gin and presses in
order to accomplish the change at
which the cylindrical process aims, it
will cost producers who own gins al
ready in this section not less than $50,
100000, as there are now 10000 gins
in the south valued at $1,250 each.
Still another loss to the producer
which Colonel Orr points out, is that
involved in the change of covering for
the bale. The covering for the square
bale costs the producer at the present
time only IS cents; and when cotton
sells for 7 cents per pound it enables
him to realize clear profit of 79 cents
on each bale. TO cover round bale
of cotton, under the cylindrical pro-
cess, the producer, instead of making
his 79 cents profit, would actually lose
4S cents, making total loss, as COM
pared with the round bale covering of
$1.27 on each bale. Such loss as this
applied to a crop of 100000 bales
would in itself alone aggregate S11,-

THEIR MOTTO IS EXCELSIOR.

"AVE you ever looked into the mer-
Ill its of the Babcock Buggy? If you
have we have no doubt that you found it
to be the best vehicle for the money on
the American market today. At least that
is the way disinterested experts talk
about it. The Babcock people have been
making vehicles for so years, and their
motto has always been EXCELSIOR.
Their Buggies excel in material, durabil-
ity and riding qualities, and are cheaper
quality considered-than any on the
market.
Mr.. H. G. STRAUSS
Has a Babcock Spindle Wagon and he is
delighted with it. He told us few days
ago that he met Rock Hills leading liv-
eryman at the recent state fair, and that
that gentleman told him that the Bah
cock was the ideal Buggy for his busi-
ness; that it pleased his patrons as no
other could, and required less repairs
than any he ever used, and that he had
all the leading makes; and be further
said that he proposed to dispose of every
other make be had and use nothing ex-
cept Babcock Buggies. If you need a
buggy don't buy until you have investi-
gated. We don't promise to compete in
price with the ordinary Cincinnati buggy
sold in this section. We can't on Bah.

Seeing Is Believing.

Seeing is believing.
SIGHT is one of the greatest pleasures of
life and to be robbed of it is one OF the
greatest misfortunes.
AS age creeps on, the eyesight naturally
grows dim, because the crystalline lens,
through which all light must pass to
enter the eye proper, loses its elasticity,
and hence cannot adapt itself as readily
to objects at varying distances, and, there
fore, as things pass continually before
it at different distances, its range OF ac-
commodation" having become limited, q
part, at least, of the objects are blurred
because they are not brought into focus.
This is not a DISEASE, but the NATURAL
RESULT OF OLD AGE.
Logical Reasoning.
The above explanation shows just why
old people gradually lose that sharpness
of vision which they once had. This be-
ing the CAUSE, what then would be the
remedy? Of course we must put some
thing there to restore the "range of ac-
commodation." How can this be done :?
By the use of an ARTIFICIAL LENsE to
assist the NATURAL LENsE, thereby re-
ducing the necessity for such large
"range of accommodation" for the NATU-
RAL LENS. How is this assistance to be
supplied? Why, by the use Of the famous
Hawkes. Crystalline Lenses.
The spectacles sell are fitted with these
famous lenses therefore, they make life
once more real pleasure by relieving the
great strain on the eye, and incidentally
curing the headache which was caused
by the imperfect sight. The PEDDLER

not allow him to attempt to put DRUM

why allow him to experiment with your

HICKORY GROVE ORPHANA6E

Opened Last Thursday With q Primitive
Thanksgiving Dinner.
For The Yorkville Enquirer:
The A. R. P. orphanage was opened
last Thursday with 10 bright children to
enter the home. We had Thanksgiving
services in the church at II O'Clock, con-
Quoted by the writer. D. E. Finley, Esq,
of Yorkville, was with US and made an
address which was greatly enjoyed by the
congregation.
At 1890 p. m., we repaired to the Or
phanage and ate our Thanksgiving din
ner-like the first Thanksgiving dinner
ever ate on this continent. We ate in the
open air. All seemed to enjoy the day,
and especially the orphans who had found
a home and kind friends to look after
their welfare.
A collection was taken in the church
for the home amounting to S20.S.
Rev. j. H. Simpson is in charge Of the
home, and his daughter, Miss Lois Simp-
son, will be on this week to take her place
as one of the matrons. The little children
are all contented and happy, and they
give promise of usefulness in years to
come.
We wish to say that all the friends Of
the fatherless ones are requested to re-
member the orphanage with any useful
articles from a bar of soap to barrel Of
-four or meal.
We want here to make special mention
of the kindness of the railroads. The
Southern carried the children over its line
at l cent mile; but the o. r. & c. gave
them free transportation. The especial
thanks of the promoters of the orphan
age are hereby given to President Samuel
Hunt and S. B. Lumpkin, passenger
agent, and all the members of the o. Il.
& C. company. May the Lord bless them
and give them long life, and may none of
their children be orphans.
