JOHNSON IS THE MAN.

The primary election last Saturday
passed off quietly, as was generally an
ticipated, the vote, however, being some
what larger than most people had reason
to believe. So far as is known, it was one
of the most creditable and generally sat
isfactory elections that has been held in
the county for many years. During the
preceding Campaign" the two candi-
dates pursued their respective ways as
they saw fit, with but little, if any, inter-
ference from the professional politicians.
If there were any abusive or injurious
campaign stories put in circulation by or
about either of the candidates, THE En-
oU1RER has no knowledge of them. The
two men were squarely on their own re-
sources, with big advantage in favor OF
johnson on account of his having already
made complete canvass of the county
during the previous primary campaign.
Mr.. Cherry was not generally known
over the county, and had no good oppor-
tunity to exted his acquaintance. The
result, by precincts as sent in by various
correspondents Of THE ENQUIRER, was
as follows:
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-11-17
ANOTHER CALL ISSUED.

Mr.. J. G.. Wiborn is pushing right
ahead with the undertaking to organize
the cotton growers of the south along the
lines laid down by the recent convention
in Columbia. In the daily papers of yes
terday he caused to be published the fol-
lowing:
"By direction of the South Carolina
sembled in Columbia November 10, 1897,
I hereby call upon every cotton grower
and each person interested in producing
cotton, to assemble at their respective
county court houses on the first Monday
of December, for the purpose of effecting
a permanent organization to join in with
the other southern states in taking such
action as will enable the cotton growers
to in some way better control the produc-
ton and sale of the cotton crop of the
south and in some measure obtain the full
market value of this great staple CROP"
Fearing that on account of the near
ness of the date appointed, the cotton
growers of the various states will not
have time to meet and elect delegates to
the proposed convention, Mr.. Wilborn
has requested Governor Ellerbe to imme-
diately write to the governors Of the vari-
GUS states and ask them to each appoint
two delegates at large and one from each
congressional district. Governor Ellerbe
attended to the matter on last Monday,
and there is reason to believe that by this
means everything will be gotten i'll proper
shape in ample time.

- Ex-Judge Izlar, of Orangeburp. and
T. w. Bacot, ESQ.,, Of Charleston, are
mentioned as prominent candidates for
the ejudgeship in the First circuit to succeed
Judge Benet. Though having just as
much interest in the matter as any other
newspaper, THE ENQUIRER is not in
clined to be partisan. Judge Izlar made
splendid officer, and when he was turn
ed down, we felt that a wrong had been
done. Mr.. Bacot has the reputation of
being learned lawyer, we'll qualified to
fill the position Of judge. But this is not
the point. We should like to see estab-
lished in South Carolina merit as the
principal recommendation to office, and
we should like also to see merit and merit
alone recognized as guarantee to the
continued holding of any official position.
Judge Benet is an able and conscientious
official. He is not inferior to any other
Judge who is now on the bench, and to re-
move him just for the sake of making a
change, or because someone else, no bet
ter qualified, would like his place, would
not be creditable to the general assembly
or the people of the state.

ed to reiterate all that he had said, and
subjected the detective to most terrific
flood of epithets. 1t was nervy thing on
the part of Templeton but it was we'll
that Newbold did not shoot, for it would
have been murder. All the same, the
incident was not at all creditable to him.
Under the circumstances he had no right
whatever to offend Mr.. Templeton. The
drawing of his weapon was cowardly, a
fact proved by his failure to use it.
What the real cause of the Turner in
cident was, as has already been remarked
cannot be stated with certainty. The cir,
cumstances are easily supposable, how
ever. Here are three constables, on 8
raid. Their game is to a greater or less
extent an uncertain quantity. There may
be liquor dealers along at any time, and
again there may not be. Thus lying out
with time hanging heavily on their hands
the inclination of the constables to load
themselves up with liquor would natural
ly be very strong. To imagine the reck'
lessness of people who are more RESPONSE
BILE than dispensary constables, filled with
liquor and armed with revolvers, is moi
difficult. If this was the situation wher
Mr.. Turner came along, it is no use te
further pursue the inquiry.
But, after all, Newbold is not solely tc
blame. He should not be the only but
of public Indignation. He was only al
incident-a part of vicious system. Tht
history of the past four or five years
shows that this system must necessarily
be accompanied by great deal OF blood
shed. So long as the system continues
there will be occurrences Of the Spartan
burg tragedy.

Maybe it won't be Roddey who will
succeed in the organization of cotton
trust; but, all the same, the cotton trust
is a strong probability Of the near future.
THE ENQUIRER has intimated as much
before. We think so yet. 1t will come,
very likely, through the round bale.
That the round hale will actually super
cede the square bale is generally admit
ted. The round bale has several unques-
toned advantages. The patents OH the
machinery for making the round bale are
generally understood to be under the
control of Searles, of the sugar trust.
When Searles secures advantages of this
character, it is usually for the purpose of
making use Of them. Suppose, for in
stance, the round bale system were once
inaugurated throughout the south, with
all the users of round bale machinery, to
Il greater or less extent under the control
of single individual or single board of
directors! Then, suppose again, the
present custom of ginning cotton for so
much per hundred pounds were changed
to a system of buying the cotton in the
seed as brought to the gin. 1t would re-
quire big capital, it is true; but the pros
pective profits would justify big capital.
Control Of the gins would mean control

THE CASE OF NEWBOLD.

The exact facts in the Newbold- Turner
homicide, will probably never be known
II Newbold is ever captured and tried, he
will, of course, make defense; but a
to how much truth there will be in that
defense is another question.
According to published statements, the
tragedy occurred at about daylight in the
morning. Newbold and another consta-
BILE were lying on the roadside on the
lookout for illicit whisky dealers. Mr..
Turner came along in his buggy, and ii
was while Newbold was having parley
with him, that the tragedy occurred.
While Newbold. is said to have stood
high in the estimation eX-Governors Till
man and Evans, also in the estimation OF
Governor Ellerbe, his reputation in
many respects has not been such as to
Justify that estimation. And in view OF
previous incidents, which have already
been published, the tragic development
over in Spartanburg is not surprising.
Readers of THE ENQUIRER remember
how Detective Newbold, on one occasion,
held up, at the point of his pistol, Mr. NJ.
A. Mcfarland with jug Of buttermilk.
Mr.. Mcfarland was passing peacefully
along the road, where he had perfect
right. Newbold, no doubt, had right
to know what was in that jug. Had he
had proper conception of the duties OF
his position, he would have gotten the
information without the necessity of com
mitting All assault. The fact that he did
commit the assault unnecessarily was
discreditable, and probably throws light
on the Turner incident.
On another occasion, having worked up
case against whisky seller, the late
John Berry, Newbold tried to intiln-
idatc a witness-Mr. J. NJ. Templeton-
of this county. The position of the de-
tective in the controversy was altogether
untenable, and in answer to one OF his
statements, Mr.. Templeton applied the
epithet liar. Out came Newbold's rcvol-
yer. Templcton was unarmed; but re-
gardless of this disadvantage, proceed

-Ex-P President Cleveland is in trouble
with the Presbyterians of Princeton, n.
j., about the establishment Of whisky
saloon. Under the New Jersey law, a
whisky saloon cannot be established eX-
cept upon petition of a half dozen free
holders on either side Of the proposed To-
cation. 1t was desired to establish sa-
loon for the especial accommodation of
the students, to keep them out of the reg
ular barrooms, and Cleveland signed the
petition. The feeling against him is very
strong; but he takes the position that
upon occasion he would do the same
thing over again,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-11-17

The aim of the southern farmer should
be to produce everything that he con-
sumes. Wonderfully favorable condi-
tions of climate and soil make it possible
for him to raise most of the necessaries
and many of the luxuries of life. His
object should be to avoid the necessity OF
buying rather than to make great deal
of one thing to buy with. The Abbeville
Press and Banner advises its readers to
produce more cotton because the price is
low, arguing that the smaller the price,
the greater the necessity for much of it to
sell. We do not think that the acreage in
cotton should be reduced unless the farm
er puts the labor and energy thereby
saved into the production of something
else.- We do think that a considera-
BILE proportion of the attention and labor
given to the growing of cotton could be
profitably diverted to other crops
Greenville News.
Upon reading the foregoing, The EN-
oU1RER is struck with the idea that both
the Greenville News and the Abbeville
~'-
extensive knowledge of the facts.
In 1S76-77, the cotton crop aggregated
4,774, ,O69 bales and sold for $252,602 $40.
Two years later, the crop aggregated 5OO,-
OS5 bales more than in 1867 and sold for
SIG, 300 less. In 1S9O-9l, crop of $780,
600 bales brought, in round numbers,
S43O, ,OOO. 900, while the next year 9,OOO,O 600
bale crop brought only 1891, 100000. And
so on through the whole series Of years
since the war. A smaller crop has often
brought more money than a large one.
In some instances 100000 bales less
cotton have brought S4O,OOO,OOO or $780,
OOO, 900 more money.
AS matter of theory, we can easily see
how The Press and Banner falls into its
mistake; but its explanation is interest
ing. The position of The News, as quoted
above, is very well taken. OF course it
would not be husbandry on the part of
the farmer to devote to idleness such at
tention as he withdraws from the pro-
duction of cotton; but taking the statis-
tics-the cold and correct figures Of the
past-as a basis, rather than follow the
suggestion of The Press and Banner, it
seems that it would actually be better
business for him to remain idle.
But will The Press and Banner clear
up this mystery for us? Will The News?
Both of these papers believe firmly in
the single gold standard. Neither can
see what the gold standard has to do with
the matter, and we will not ask them to
say anything along that line. Both are
great preachers of the doctrine of supply
and demand. Let them clear away these
troublesome paradoXes from this stand
point.
