Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
WARREN, October 31.-The work o
gathering the cotton crop is still pro
crossing rapidly. There is enough il
the fields yet to keep the people busy
for several weeks to come. Corn gath
ering has also begun and it is likely
that almost the entire crop will bs
cribbed during the next two weeks.
Most of the farmers in this section
will sow some small grain this fall
and risk their chances with the bug:
again. We hope the bugs have taken
leave of absence for while at least, fol
| it is evident that we must raise some
thing else besides cotton.
We were forcibly reminded of ap
preaching winter several mornings las
week by some heavy frosts. You'
correspondent also saw ice of consid
cradle thickness.
A protracted meeting will be held a.
Antioch, beginning on the second Sun
day night in November, conducted by
Rev. J. B. Harris.
We are glad to report that MIR. Mar
ion Nelson, who has had prolonged
attack of fever, is improving. He ha:
been confined to his bed for about II
weeks.
Mr.. Will Duncan is quite sick. HI
has bilious fever.

nearly every family in this commu

the community is very good.

- The Greenville News pays de-
served tribute to Mr.. August Kohn,
of The News and Courier for his re-
cent splendid report of the Edgefeld
lynching. The beauty of the report
lies in the completeness and compact
ness of the facts presented. Mr.. Kohn
seldom attempts what is called fine
writing in his newspaper reports. He
gets at the actual facts only, and pre-
sents those facts in a way that anybody
can understand them. He never tries
to overdo a story, and this is evidence
that he knows his business.

business. The oyerseers are Messrs.
R. T. Bailey, J. P. Crowder and G. w.
Wilkerson. Each overseer has farm
of his own; hut Mr.. Springs pays
them salary enough to warrant them
in overseeing for him instead of for
themselves.
This year Mr.. Springs's crop consist.
ed of about 160 acres of corn, from
100 TO $50 acres of peavines, aud about
900 acres of cotton. He has already
sold many tons of peavine hay, and
expects to find q ready market for all
the shredded cornstalks he does not
use on his different plantations. He is
not making but about 500 bales OF
cotton, and with this he is dissatisfied,
because he thinks that 20 make it pay
US it should, he must get at least a
bale to the acre.
There is another line in which he is
doing a pretty big business. Instead
of selling his cotton seed or using them
directly as fertilizers, he makes it q
business to buy every year about loo
steers from western North Carolina.
Then be swaps his cotton seed for
cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls,
with which he fattens the steers. AT
the season when steers are bringing
the best price, he sells them in the
northern markets. Last year, after
figuring all expenses, he had made
clear the manure from the steers and
several hundred dollars in cash. By
this means he is gradually increasing
the productiveness of his cotton land
to bale to the acre.

EDISON IS COMING.

The Santa Fe New Mexican ful
ly confirms the rumor printed four
weeks ago to the effect that Thom-
as A. Edison, the inventive genius,
WAS coming 20 New Mexico to es-
tablish a gold-saving PLANT of his
own make that is expected to rev.
olutionizes placer mining. The
New Mexican says:
"Of course no one here knows
what manner OF plant is being con-
structed, rs it is the coinage Of Mr..
Edison's own resourceful brain.
But an idea of its immense propor-
tions can be formed from the fact
that it will be built TO handle
25,OOO of tons OF placer dirt every
twenty-four hours. These figures
seem fabulous. but they come di-
rect from the famous wizard him.
self and can be relied on rs giving
a correct idea of the plant he has
planned and is forcing to compile
tion as fast as skilled mechanics
can do the work.
"After the plant is completed,
Mr.. Edison will come at once to
Santa Fe with his family, and
thereafter his headquarters will be
here for an indefinite period. This
change of residence from Orange,
New Jersey, to Santa Fe will occur
some time during the early part of
the coming autumn. Mr.. Edison's
idea in coming to Santa Fe is that
he may have n desirable place of
residence convenient to the ORTIZ
grant, that he may personally su-
pervise the setting up and operat-
ing OF his wonderful gold saver.
Evidently he regards i. us his
greatest invention"

process for extracting it has been
found. A $4,000 plant has been
erected at Lubec, Maine, which is
successfully extracting the gold.
In describing this plant the Lew
lston (Maine) Journal says:
"On the fourth day of this month
the hundred machines were set at
work and results obtained thnt
more than satisfied both inventors
and stockholders. Each machine
was iun on an average for 60 hours
before the amount of gold it had
extracted from the sea was remov-
ed and weighed. Since Feb. 4th
these machines have averaged 7.97
pw:s. of gold apiece, and twice
that amount of silver. Not count
ing the latter metal the plant is
yielding a revenue of Sl25 n day
or SI5O each week. The total out
lay by the company has been n
little less than $4,000. So that
with the somewhat crude apparatus
now employed the investment is
yielding an income of something
like rs per cent. per year. The
inventor of these machines is the
Kev. Z. +. Junegan, pastor of the
First Baptist church at Middle
town, Conn.,, graduate of Brown
University and of Newton Theo-
logical Seminary, and preacher

THE last two administrations
have, through the corrupting in
fiuence of patronage, blotted out
the constitutional separation of the
different departments OF the gov
eminent. What can be expected
OF the men in the ordinary walks
of life when the highest officials of
the nation, with impunity and
openly, set the example of public
bribery and purchase through pat
ronage mud spoils? The Republic
can press proclaimed to the world
in genera! that in TIE state OF Ohio
the President was Withholding
sixty importan. official positions
until the members of the legisla-
,nre chose "A United States senator.
Why this Withholding? 1t WAS
to put every expec:ant of these
sixty places onto the backs OF cer-
tain Representatives to coerce
their votes against their con-
sciences and best judgment, and TO
put those places into the hands Of
his favored candidate to trade for
political influence. These news-
papers doubtless spoke by author
ity, if not by request, as the proph-
ecies were always verified by sub
sequent events.
Not only this, but the public
Treasury is now open 10 the most
fragrant looting for political pur-
poses.
The Republican press proclaim
ed to the world some ten or fifteen
days before the Senatorial contest
in the State of Ohio that Senator
Hanna had called upon the ap-
pointees Of the Governmen. from
the State of Ohio, the number OF
which probably ran into the ,hous-
ands, whether operating in the
State or out, to come to Columbus
and there remain until the close of
the Senatorial contest. Why WAS
this? 1t was to put this great
horde of Office holders on the backs
of certain members of the leg,sla-
ture TO coerce them to vote, not ac-
cording to their consciences, but
according to the dictates of the
President of the United States and
of the chairman of the national
Republican committee. No one
can estimate the enormous sum
these men cost the Government
during their idleness there, their
salaries going on, causing either a
great neglect of the public service
or an increase of the force subse-
qucntly to do the work that they
were neglecting.-Hon. John G.

WHETHER the state lands should
be sold on an 1S-year plan or held
by the state and leased from time
to time for period of years is an
open question. So far as the state
Is concerned it is probable that the
state can realize more money by
selling the lands than by leasing.
And the state should look at the
matter from business standpoint
and not consult the wishes of
would be buyers or leasers. In
some instances it would be to the
convenience of some ranchmen to
have the land leased, others would
prefer buying. The Land Board
has considered these questions and
has decided to sell the lands.
