- What kind of "rabbit foot" does
President Riddle, of Clover, carry in his
pocket? We have little experience with
two factories, but-they don't pay l.
per cent. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Reformed
Presbyterian.
We have not seen Mr.. Riddle lately
but we imagine that he would advise
our contemporary that there is no
rabbit foot about this matter. 1t is
nothing but business. And although
it is an open secret that Mr.. Riddles
connection with the factory does not
detract in the least from its splendid
success. that gentleman would not
think of claiming even the credit to
which he is entitled. He would try
to put it all on Mr.. NJ. L. Smith, who,
in turn, would insist that Mr.. Riddle
is pretty good man to have around
when problems are to be solved. The
fact is that if there is any rabbit foot
about the matter at all, there are two
of them.

- The cause of the trouble between
Governor Ellerbe and Editor k9ster,
of the Columbia Record, is now public
property. A few days ago, Governor
Ellerbe referred to Editor Kester as a
"political prostitute who could be
bought like a piece of meat in the
market" This brings out a personal
statement from Kpster. 1t is to the
effect that a number of Reformers
wanted a daily paper in Columbia.
Governor Ellerbe agreed to subscribe
$3.50. At one time he paid $50 and at
another time $3.50, but defaulted in
subsequent payments. When kester
began to support Norton instead Of j.
f. Ellerbe for congress, Governor Ell
lerbe protested on the ground that he
had money in the paper, and tried to
make Kester support ]. E. Ellerbe.
Kpster refused, because, as he says, OF
personal friendship for Norton, and
of the political necessity involved.
Governor Ellerbe thereupon declined
to pay the balance of his subscription
and afterward Kpster refunded him
the $3.50 already paid. Upon this
there was dissolution of partnership

ACCORDING TO PROMISE.

AS an inducement to visitors, the
Yorkville Wheelmen's Association
made some pretty big promises for
last Wednesday, and in justice to the
wheelmen, it is only fair to say that
these promises were fully carried out.
Some of the announcements in the
circular that was so widely distribu-
ted throughout the county and in
adjoining towns, might easily have
been taken on the circus bill order
only to catch the crowd. But it did
not turn out that way, it will be no.
ted. The crowd was caught, but not
deceived.
Early in the afternoon it began to
appear that the procession would not
be able to move on schedule time, and
that there was the greatest danger of
interference with the races by rain.
Business expediency would have sug-
gested the elimination of the free show
in the interest of the other from which
revenue was expected. But those who
were charged with the carrying out
of the programme, did not even con-
sder such an idea, and it is fair also
to say that they did not worry them
selves in the least over the fact that
the races were not so we'll attended as
they would have been had it not been
for the awkward interference of the
rain.
The members of the Wheelmen's as
sociation, Chairman Brice of the Dem
ocratic Executive committee, and the
people of Yorkville generally, did
what they could to make the day an

THE BICYCLE RACES.

The midsummer meet of the York
Vile Wheelmen's association, last
Wednesday afternoon, was consider
ably interferred with by the rain
but, all the same, there was present
large number of wheelmen, along
with the advertised list of riders, and
the management did the best it could
to carry out the programme in accord
ance with promise.
The first race-one mile amateur
open-had to be run in three heats
1t was won by S. L. Meacham, of Fort
Mill, with John E. Ardrey second.
The next race was the half-mile
amateur for boys. The entries were
Hope Brison, of Clover, and Eugene
Hutchison, of Rock Hill. This race
was exciting from start to finish, and
was won by the narrowest kind of q
margin by Hutchison.
The third race was one mile, fol
York county riders only. The entries
were John M. Smith and Oscar Neil
Clover; Sam L. Meacham, John E.
Ardrey, and w. S. McMurray, Fort
Mill. Neil won in 1924, and Ardrey
came in second.
About this time the threatening
cloud overheard broke loose and put
an end to further sport. The result,
of course, was generally dissatisfying
and makes all the more necessary q
Fall meet in which the whole thing
can be settled for the year.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather, the attendance on the races
was fairly good. There were pres
ent something like 400 people.
There were hundreds of others down
town who failed to get out because OF
a very natural belief that under the
circumstances the meet had been
postponed. With good weather con.
ditions, the audience would have prob
ably been the largest that has ever
gathered on q similar occasion in this
section.

THE ENQUIRER in accordance with
law. We noticed that it also appear
ed in the following issues of the Rock
Hill Herald and our "cheaper adver.
tising" contemporary. Of course we
did not regard the matter as of any
especial business of ours but after
ward, we learned that both of our es-
teemed contemporaries had drawn pay,
and in view of recent developments
it occurred to us to find out the
amount of this pay.
Election notices are not paid for by
the county but by the state, and the
rate is fixed by law, as follows: Five
cents a word for caption, and one cent
word for text, first insertion, and q
half cent a word for text the second
insertion. We had counted up the
advertisement for all it was worth, re-
membering, of course, that we had to
swear to our bill. We knew positive
ly that The Herald and our "cheaper
advertising" contemporary had set up
their copies from the notice published
in THE ENQUIRER, and presumed, OF
course, that each of the bills should
be for the same amount. But as we
have said, in view of recent develop
ments, last week we wrote to Colum-
bia and had the amounts paid each
newspaper copied from the books OF
the state treasurer. Here are the
figures:
Enquirer, paid March II, 1898, Sl547.
Yeoman, paid March 81, 1898, $4,000.
Herald, paid March 2l, 1893, $21.OO.
Now we are puzzled to know first,
where our esteemed contemporaries
got their authority to publish these
advertisements; and second, how they
arrived at the respective amounts they
have charged.
In conclusion, we will remark that
the advertising rates in THE ENoUIR-
Err are as high today as they were 80
years ago. We have not changed
them except in 1895, when they were
made the slightest fraction higher.
Here is how it came about. The COL
umns were then Is ems wide, and we
called lines a square. When the
width of the columns was reduced to
13 ems, we increased the number OF
lines in square to 10. This made a
very slight, though unappreciable, in
crease in the price of advertising.
Now then, Notwithstanding all that
has been said about THE EMO UIRER' s
advertising rates, two things must be
admitted. One of these is that we do
not beg either public officials or private
individuals to advertise in THE EN-
QUIRER and the other is that little
blind child can get just as good rates
from us as can the shrewdest patent
medicine sharper that ever drifted
through this country. THE ENoUIR-
Err is not sup to date" in business
matters maybe; but somehow the peo-
pie of York county still have conf
dence in it, and if we were pressed we
could come pretty nearly telling the
reason why.

craft, which, according to information
sent him by Consul General Wildman,
are at various places in the Philippine
archipelago. Among these vessels are
three gunboats at San Miguel, Luzon

cargoes of tobacco are reported at
Cagayan, Luzon. The same dispatch
reports that English traders at the
coal mines at Batan, Luzon Island,
have been imprisoned and subjected to
ill treatment otherwise by the Span

enjoyable one for everybody, and all
experienced much pleasure in so doing.
If the old town has ever entered
with more unanimity in making big
success of any similar occasion, The
ENQUIRER does not remember the
time; and without the least reserve
we here predict that the next time
an entertainment of the kind is at
tempted, it will be carried out on a
scale which will make even last We'd
nesday's achievement an insignificant
affair in comparison.

however, began to make inquiries
He asked where the clothes came from
and was told. Turning to Davis, he
inquired: "Are these your clothes?'
Mr.. Davis bowed in the affirmative,
"Then, men, you should be doubly
ashamed of your conduct. You not
only did wrong in opening the trunk
at all, but you have made brave
man your victim. When we were
fired on from ambush by the Span
iards, Davis here was right in front Of

for us to shoot at. A soldier was shot
down by his side. He picked up the
