MIR. RIDDLE ON WHEAT.

The reporter had a talk few days
ago with Mr.. G. L. Riddle, of Zeno, or
the subject of the wheat article recent
ly written by Mr.. D. T. Leslie.
Mr.. Riddle is we'll acquainted with
Mr.. Leslie, and has the highest res
pect for his opinions; but he does moi
agree with the statement that one-hali
bushel of seed wheat per acre is
enough under any and all circum.
stances.
According to Mr.. Riddle, Mr.. Leslie
is right in holding that most people
seed wheat too thickly, and he agrees
that on such soil as abounds in the
Leslie neighborbood, a half bushel is
enough; but in the sitter, clayey soils
of other sections, on account of the
failure of seed for various reasons to
germinate, more seed are necessary.
From what Mr.. Riddle said, he is
not to be understood as seeking to con-
trovert Mr.. Leslie's ideas. He agrees
fully that most people would make
more wheat with lighter seeding.
"Wben it comes to OATS" Mr.. Riddle
says, sit does not make so much diff.
ference. If you SOW oats too thinly
you will feel it in the yield but if you
sow too thickly, the crop will thin it.

A. NJ. E. CONFERENCE.

The following report of the proceed
ings of the A. NJ. E. Conference now

Zion church, commenced in Clinton
Chapel, Yorkville S. c., Wednesday,
November %, 1899, at 12 o'clock,

After the usual devotional exercises
the conference was organized and set
to work. Revs. w. A. Blackwell and
G. w. Mcdaniel were elected secreta-
ries.
The Bishop delivered his episcopal ad-
dress, which was replete in every part.
He advised and urged high moral
standard for the ministry and the peo-
pie, education for all, and that minis
ters keep out of politics. The address
was we'll received with rounds of ap-
plause and was adopted.
The several committees were ap-
pointed, the most important of which
were on the state of the country,
temperance, boundry lines, ways and
means, Holy orders, applicants, minis.
terial studies and rules.
This branch of the Methodist fami-
ly represents 100000 members, 1000
ministers, bishops, 1O3 years old,

MYSTERIOUS CASE.

Mr.. John f. Plexico, of Hoodtown
who has been serving on the jury thi:
week, had a mysterious adventure or
the Pinckney road last Thursday
morning, and he is at loss as to ex
actly what to make of it. Here is the
story about as he told it to the report
er few hours after the occurrence.
II left home before daylight, while
before day, in order to get to York
vile in time for court. Shortly after
driving into the Pinckney road from

too, for it frightened her and she start.

bling broadside of righteousness and
irony in its Fridays issue, which we

merely believes The State and The

THE COTTON MARKET

Until within the past few days, the
general cotton market has been sta
tionary with weaker tendencies; but
on Thursday, January futures gained
10 points in New York, and yester-
days opening, at 7.45, was still 5
points higher. The II o'clock call
showed further rise to 1853.
A careful reading of the letters of
the various New York factors indicate
situation like this: American mills,
especially those in the south, have
good stocks of cotton; but not near
enough to run them until next season
or even to fill present orders. Euro
pean spinners have been short for
some time in the belief that there is
large crop and that prices will be low
er. New York believes that prices
are bound to be higher, and that as
soon as Europe begins to show signs of
uneasiness, American mills will jump
in and help sharp advance.
Liverpool opened yesterday 5 points
above Thursdays close, and the New
York advance following Immediately
thereafter, seems to be more or less
significant.
Upon inquiry as to the condition of
the local market yesterday at noon,
the reporter was informed that no first
class cotton had been offered up to
that time. One sale had been made
at II, and one buyer said that it was
probable that good cotton would bring
| II or possibly more during the day.

- The Dewey incident of this week
strikipgly illustrates the frail founda-
tion which usually supports the bubble
like structure of fame. In the exhu-
berance of their enthusiasm and de-
sire to do something to show their APP
probation of the hero of Manila, thou
sands of people contributed to the pur-
chase of the Washington home. That
the admiral should transfer that home
to his wife is one of the most natural
things imaginable. 1t was not only
natural but it was perfectly proper.
Still his act has brought forth howl
of Indignation that shows that many
of the contributors had no higher mo-
tive in helping to pay for the home
than to secure notoriety for themselves.
The admiral is sorely hurt at these
developments. He wishes now that
he had refused the gift of these peo-
pie, and he has actually thought of
going on the retired list and quitting
the country. Of this, however, he
will think better. In sober reflection
he will realize that the mob which is
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-11-25

the stuff deliberately. But if SO, there
lis nothing especially surprising. We
printed not long ago an extract from a
letter from II young Protestant soldier
who went from this section. In that
letter was indicated the antagonistic
influence that the priests are exercising
over the natives, and it was pretty
clear that our soldier boys were realiz
ing that the friars are our real enemies
in the Philippines. There is nothing
strained in the theory. These fat friars
have been lording it over the natives
for hundreds of years. They have ac-
quired immense wealth and their influ-
ence has been greater than that Of the
Spanish government. They have little
reason to hope that such situation
will be suffered by the United States
to continue, especially since we have
promised TO the natives liberty. 1t is
perfectly natural, therefore, that the
friars should fight us with every obsta-
Gle they can bring to bear. 1t is true
that this does not justify our boys in
stealing, and we have no actual proof
that they are thieves. But even if they
stole from the friars, they took only
what the friars acquired by deception
from the natives. Let US not have
any more filings about the sultan of
Sulu. He quietly acknowledged our
sovereignty, and although we will have
to teach him many reforms, the stua-
ton is such that we may accomplish
the work by the reasonable, peaceful
MEANS" so dear to The State under
other circumstances.

After the adventure, Mr.. PleSfco
related the circum stances to Mr.. Pratt,
who lives near by, and requested him
to send to the chaingang for the blood
hounds. Then he came to Yorkville,
got excused from further attend
ance as juror and returned to the
scene. He found that the chaingang
people had already been to the spot
with the odhounds but finding
telephone pole lying across the road,
had concluded that it had fallen of its
own accord, and that there was nobody
to hunt. Mr.. Plexico, however, is
positive of the fact that pistol was
fired from the right hand side of the
road and that he saw the outline of
mans form at the base of the falling
pole on the left hand side of the road.
What it means, or what was the inten-
tion of his supposed assailants, he does
not pretend to be able to explain.

Dewey, only son Of the admiral. The
transfer was made with the under
standing that the admiral would con-
tinue to occupy the home during his
lifetime. In the afternoon the admiral
went to the newspapers and explained
that the whole transaction was in ac-
cord with original intentions. Mrs.
Dewey, as his wife, had legal interest
in the property, and as it was proper
that the home should 60 to his son, it
was thought hest that it should first be
transferred to Mrs. Dewey, so that
when she transferred it to George
Dewey, there would be no possible
danger of legal complications hereafter.
Some of the papers are inclined to
accept this explanation as satisfactory,
and others are skeptical.
