1t is believed in Columbia that il
an effort should be made, the general
assembly can easily make important
changes in the dispensary law. There
is not a great deal of high license SEN
timent, for the reason that real or ap.
parent constitutional barriers stand in
the way. Opinion is divided between
prohibition and county control of dis
pensaries under local option regula,
tions; but it is not thought that there
will be any changes in the law. The
governor is not in sympathy with the
change indicated, and lax enforce
ment of prohibition must inevitably
result in failure.

- 1t is told as an undisputed fact
that during the Confederate reunion
at Atlanta, there were to be seen more
than 1000 poor, decrepit and crippled
old soldiers wandering aimlessly about
the streets, with no means to satisfy
even their hunger. Friends, probably,
had given them the money with which
to pay their railroad fare; but that
was all they had. They were charge
on the more fortunate of their old
comrades, who furnished them with
money with which to buy food and
lodging. There will be nothing of this
kind at the coming reunion in Charles
ton. The people of Charleston and of
South Carolina will see that the old

- NJ. Searles, formerly of the Sugar
Trust, is doing all he can to introduce
the Lowry round bale cotton packing
machinery in the south. One of the
principal methods in use is printing in
the patent outsides of the smaller
country newspapers, glowing descrip'
tions of the alleged advantages of the
new process. In this way much SEN
timent is being manufactured. AS to
the merits or dement's of the Lowry
bale we have but little knowledge
but somehow we cannot reconcile our.
selves to the idea that Searles will use
any hold he might be able to get on
the south to the advantage of this
section.

SILVER DEAD AGAIN.
The Tammany Boss Puts the White Me tai
In Its Coffin.

The Tammany Boss Puts the White Me tai
In Its Coffin.
Richard Croker gave out the follow
ing interview last Friday:
"The 16 to l question is dead issue.
This was proven conclusively by the
expression of the will of the people in
1896 when they elected Mr.. Mckinley
president of the United States.
"Now the Democrats of the west
and other sections of the country are
trying to foist this dead issue upon the
Democratic party and. make the old
dead cry of "16 to l." the Democratic
slogan of 1900.
"Why should we carry dead weight
in that campaign?
"The times of four years ago are
past. Today the times are different
and issues are not the same.
"Speaking for this section of the
country, I say that if the 16 to l prop
osition is again brought before the
people, there will be felt again
throughout the nation the same distrnst
that prevailed in 1896. During the
fall of that year, while the campaign
was in progress, every man with d
dollar of surplus, whether he was mill
lionaire or workingman, boarded his
savings; in fact, locked them up so
securely that there was actually no
money in circulation. AS natural
consequence the times then became
we'll nigh desperate. Look back at the
winter of 1896, and see what the mere
rumor of silver coinage at the ratio of
16 to l did to this country. You could
not get money in the banks. You
could not raise money on any kind Of
security, and the result was the very
hardest kind of times.
eff this silver question comes again
before the people and is made q factor
in the national platform, the moneyed
men of the east will look for invest
ment outside of this country, and the
banks in other states in the Union will
be unable to borrow money in the east.
The result will be that the poor will be
the greatest sufferers.
"The present winter of 1S9S-99 has
been free from the SCIENCES of starva.
ton and suffering that were so pain
fully and characteristic of the time
when the financial strength of the
country was threatened. Everybody
seems to be making a living and to be
contenled. The reason for this is easi
ly found. The men with money have
loosened their purse strings, and money
is being plentifully spent for public
improvements. Labor is not idle and
money is in circulation, because there
is feeling of financial security.
"The free silver issue is merely a
local issue. In the sections where free
silver will benefit the residents, it is
but natural for them to declare for 16
to l. However, in my opinion, the
money question should be settled by
congress.
"But here in New York we must see
to it that the petition Of our party on
the money question must meet the re-
quirements, not of any one section, but
of every section of the United States.
"When in convention assembled, the
majority of the delegates demand a
certain standard or a certain reform.
New York will, as it ever has, fall
faithfully in line, without moment of
opposition or murmur of protest.
"But the Democratic platform OF
1900 has not yet been written"

DEATH OF w. BARRON.

Mr.. w alter i DaTTOu, "HOSc ionS
and tedious illness has been mentioned
in The ENQUIRER from time to time,
died at his home in Yorkville, last
Saturday at noon, of typhoid fever.
Mr.. Barron was a son of the late
DR.. A. I. Barron. He was born in
Yorkvile on May 9, 1854, and lived in
the town all his life. His first active
business engagement was as a clerk in
the dry goods establishment of the late
H. F. Adickes. He next became a
member of the firm of Kennedy Bros.
& Barron, and continued his connec-
ton with that firm until its recent
failure. Then he engaged in various
pursuits, and at the time of his death
was building up business in sewing
machines.
Mr.. Barron was a man who was be-
loved and esteemed by all who knew
him well. He was honorable and up
right in all his dealings with his
fellowmen, and pure in his daily walks
and conversation. He was ruling
elder in the Associate Reformed church
at Yorkville, and lived up to his pro-
fessions as a Christian. One fact,
probably, which, more than any other,
gives the keynote to his admirable
character is the testimony of numerous
friends to the effect that in all their
relations with him they have never
heard him make spiteful remark
about friend or foe.
The funeral took place from the
Associate Reformed church last Sum-
day afternoon, the services being con-
Quoted by the pastor, Rev. Boyce H.
Grier. The church was crowded with
mourning friends of the deceased and
of the family. All the ceremonies
connected with the funeral were in
charge of the Masonic fraternity, and
the interment was with the usual Ma
sonic honors.
Mr.. Barron leaves widow and eight
children. He carried life insurance to
the amount of $4,000 in the Equitable
company.
ANOTHER SAD BLOW.
Mrs. w. r.. Barron died yesterday
morning at $50 o'clock. Her death
came upon the community as sudden
shock. 1t was known that she was i'll,
and it was believed that she was also
a victim of typhoid fever; but it was

LOCAL LACONICS.

Price Of Cotton.
During the past few days Yorkville
buyers have bought several big lots of
cotton at 6 cents round. Six cents is
now fair quotation.
Business Is Dull.
The reporter has heard several busi-
ness men, especially those engaged in
selling supplies, say that the present
month has been unusually dull, even
for January. The dry goods business
continues to hold up fairly we'll.
These conditions do not indicate that
money is unusually scarce; but that
the people are pretty well supplied
with rations.
q. 8. Revenue License.
State Liquor Commissioner Vance
has sent out a small pamphlet contain
ing the names of the people in the
state who have United States revenue
license. York county had four last
year but this year has none. Chester
has none this year. Cherokee had ten
last year and this year only one
James H. Cook, of Gaffney. Lancas-
ter had three last year; but has none
this year.
The Wrong Letter.
The use of the wrong letter by the
printer, making snow" of "not" made
the reporter say that DR.. Kuykendal's
medical business and the insurance
business of Kuykendal & Propst, would
occupy the room now occupied by the
the York Drug Store. The York Drug
Store, of course, continues where it is,
and the other businesses referred to
will occupy all of the balance of the
building not occupied as stated in the
paragraph printed last Saturday.
Better Roads.
Far seeing citizens should take a
lesson from the condition of the coun-
try roads. With the exception of
few miles in the direction of Charlotte,
all the roads leading into Yorkville are
in fearful condition. Heavy hauling
fgenerally is out of the question. There
will be lots of idle time on the hands
of the people next summer. Some
effort should be made now to utilize
this time in behalf of the roads. Ex-
perience teaches that every dollar thus
expended brings back two.
Will BE No Appeal.
There will he no appeal in the case
of the Farmers Mutual Insurance
company against D. NJ. Hall. tprob-
ably would be year before the matter
could be settled in that way, and it is
cheaper to either get new charter or
have the present charter amended. 1t
is probable that the general assembly
will be asked to amend the present
charter. If this should fail for any
reason, then there will be no trouble
whatever in getting new charter from
the secretary of state. In the mean

The Gaffney idea that an increas,

- The Gafney idea that an increase
of taxes enhances the value Of prop
erty, is a proposition that we are not
fully able to comprehend. 1t is be-
cause we are too dull, maybe. But in
view of record of 1921 of taxes one
year, s6.33 the next, and s11.20 the
third-all on piece of property that
pays only $40 a year rent; it seems
that our progressive neighbors are
determined to actually kill the goose
that lays the golden egg rather than
permit the said goose to 60 to settin'.
