- The cloven foot is beginning to
show itself in Utah. The state, it
will be remembered, was not admitted
to the Union until after it had adopted
a constitution prohibiting polygamy.
Although largely in the majority as to
wealth and voters, the Mormons SUBJ
sided politically at about the time of
the adoption of the constitution and
allowed the "gentiles" to run things.
Now it develops that nearly every
office in the state, judicial or admins
trative, is either filled by Mormons or
Mormon sympathizers. The old-time
Mormons are living openly with their
former wives, and as many new ones
as they have since seen fit to take unto
themselves, and officials wink at the
violations of the law. This informa-
ton comes out in a recent report issued
by the state presbytery in the form of
an address to the "Presbyterians of
the United States" The address
states that since Utah was admitted to
statehood, in January, 1896, more than
1000 cases of polygamy have come to
the public notice, and only one case
has been punished. Exercising pre-
dominating influence in all the affairs
of state, the Mormons are making it a

The News and Courier says the law

Charleston to show registration tickets
and poll tax receipts, cut down the vote
in the city. OF course, this law should

not to the other counties in the state, and
one of the first things which the next
legislature does should be to repeal it.
Charleston should be put in a position to
cast her full vote whenever occasion de-

With the suggestion that there
should be no discrimination against
Charleston in this matter, THE EN-
oUIRER agrees fully; but it does not
think that the registration require
ment should be repealed. The re-
quirement is eminently proper, and
the only objection to it is that it does
not apply to the whole state. Even
with the most stringent legal restric-
tions, there will always be more or
less fraud in primary elections but
a law requiring that all voters must
be provided with registration certifi-
Gates before they will be allowed to
vote, will be calculated to reduce
fraud to minimum. Unless a man
is registered, don't let him vote at
all, and until he swears that he is
in full sympathy with the party, don't
let him participate in the party pri-
mary.

IMPORTANCE OF DRAINAGE.

"That article on the road question
published in THE ENQUIRER not long
ago by Mr.. w. S. Gordon, was very
sensible one," remarked well-known
gentleman, who is interested in such
matters, to the reporter yesterday.
"This matter of drainage" the gen.
tleman continued, "is not given the
attention to which it is entitled. Mr..
Gordon seems to appreciate the situa-
ton fully. He recommends, if you
remember, that the rows in the culti-
waited fields be laid off in such way
as not to empty their water into the
roads.
"It is only a theory, of course, but
1 have recollection of very practical
application of it that occurred in this
country, long years ago.
Cup in Bethel township two gentle
men had little disagreement over the
location of a country road, in which
both of them were interested. 1t is
not necessary to mention names; but
I'll refer to one of them as Mr.. Smith
and the other as Mr.. Jones for conyen-
ience.
"The road ran along by Mr.. Smiths
house, rather too close for his comfort,
and he wanted to move it to another
location, about a hundred yards away.
For some reason, just what it was, I
do not remember now, Mr.. Jones OBJ
jected to the change, and it could not
be made. There was hard feeling
over the matter for years.
"Mr. Smiths house was about half
way up long watershed, and off to
one side there was quite depression
between two hills. The old gentleman
took advantage Of this situation to
carry his point with reference to
changing the location of the road.
"Without saying word to anybody
about the matter, Mr.. Smith went out
one morning, and with plow ran a
furrow down the side of the hill near
ly to the road and in the direction of
the depression to which 1 have just
referred.
"This act had no significance at
first but as time went on, the scratch
made by Mr.. Smiths plow developed
into ditch, the ditch developed into

a gully, and the gully developed into
a chasm which, in few years, obliter-
ated the entire roadbed for distance
of several hundred yards.
"This circumstance occurred more
than 40 years ago. The location of
the road was changed, of course, and
where it originally ran there is now a
ravine in which you could almost hide
a two-story house.
"When I read Mr.. Gordon's article" "
the gentleman concluded, II was again
forcibly reminded of this incident,
which took place during my boyhood,
and it occurs to me now that if the
action of the water can be made to
create such tremendous havoc by de-
sign, it can also do a great deal of
damage by accident. The matter OF
draining adjoining fields in such a way
as to keep the water out of the roads
is certainly a very important one, and
in my opinion is a fit subject for leg.

The President Is Determined That Ger
many Shall Not Interfere With Peace
Commissioners.
The navy department, says Wash
ington dispatch of Monday, is rushing
preparations for the start of the bat
tleships Oregon and Iowa to Honolulu,
and orders have been sent to the New
York navy yard to have them start on
their long voyage by the end OF the
present month, and according to the
department calculations they should
arrive at their destination by the end
of January. There is little effort now
made to conceal the fact that the de-
partment will have the ships met at
Honolulu by dispatch boat with Or
ders to turn their prows westward to
Manila.
Battleships of this character are not
needed to keep the Filipino insurgents
in order, and their assembling at Ma
nila in conjunction with the dispatch
of heavy reinforcements of troops for
the American land forces, cannot but
be regarded as significant.
In we'll informed circles here it is
said that the real purpose of the pres
ident in making these preparations is

The YORK COTTON MILLS.

On another page is an interesting
story of the establishment, operation
and success of the York Cotton mills,
of Yorkville, S. G.
A portion of this story has previous,
ly been published in THE ENQUIRER,
and that portion of it relating to the
remarkable feat of declaring divi-
dend of 35 per cent. as the result OF
the first years operations, created
quite sensation throughout the
country.
While that feat, however, is some
thing for the management, the stock
holders and the community to be
proud of, studied in the light of the
facts, there is really no occasion for
surprise. The principal elements oI
success under the circumstances, were
an up.to-date plant, efficient operations
properly superintended, and the right
kind of business management to dis
pose of the product to the best advan-
tage. In the present case, it will be
noted, all of these elements were COM
hined, and the eninently satisfactory
results followed as a matter of course.
In addition to these things, there
was another favorable circumstance
that was on the side of the manage
ment of the mill. The yarn market
was unusually good last year, prices
were rising all the while, and the man
ugement comprehended the situation
sufficiently to refrain from taking
large orders, thus continuing in a po-
sition to take advantage of every rise.
However, while there is no question
of the correctness of the splendid
record already reported, it would hard,
ly be fair to expect repetition OF last
years achievement next year. The
achievement may be exceeded but OF
that there can be no certainty. Few
enterprises ever pay such dividends as
this two years in succession. is not
often that the same favorable condi-
tions continue unbroken for so long q
period but still, the prospects for con,
tinued success seem to be the brightest
possible, and it will take serious re,
verses indeed TO reduce the earnings
of this mill below figure that should
be satisfactory to any reasonable in.

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

According to the reports of soldiers
at home on furlough from the First
South Carolina regiment, the real
cause of the trouble which led to the
recent mastering out orders was lack
of harmony between officers and men.
The men claim that most of the
officers are not only incompetent; but
negligent of their duties. Instead of
providing for the men as they should,
many of the officers have devoted
their time to poker, horse-racing and
liquor drinking.
The feeling against the officers has
been very bitter. Some of the men
have been outspoken in their opinions
of their lieutenants and captains, and
it is said that mutual confidence and
respect is at a discount.
One of the causes of the trouble has
been disposition on the part of Off
GERS to treat volunteers as regulars are
treated, and as most of the volunteers
consider that they are made of just as
good material rs enters into the make
up of the officers, this treatment has
not worked smoothly.
