THE YoRKyILLE ENQUIRER naively
remarks that it printed the correspon'
dence between the Spartanburg mill men
and Senators Tillman and McLaurin al
though it was not originally sent to it, and
does not understand why the dailies did
not also copy it from the Atlanta Consti'
tuition. THE ENQUIRER needs to be in
formed that it is not in the same class
with The State and The News and Cour'
ier. Speaking for The State we will say
that if its readers are numerous and im-
portant enough to be sought by people
having views to present, they are numer'
Gus and important enough to be presented
with those views as soon as the readers OF
any other paper. Warmed-over views
are no more acceptable to us than warm
ed-over news.-Columbia State, Monday
Trembling lest we be utterly crushed
for our temerity, we beg to inform The
State that until now we were moi
aware of its aversion to either warmed
over views or news. We had the idea
that it was in the habit of serving uE
both in abundance, and we have nc
indistinct recollection Of its having
been guilty, in times past, of rehash
ing both from the columns of THE EN-
QUIRER. Now, however, we are war
ranted in inferring that this was be-
cause THE ENQUIRER is of superior
class. But to this we have laid nc
claims. We prefer to leave such mat
ters to the judgment of an intelligent
public, which does not usually surren'
der its prerogative to individual opin'
ion. And out of the purest kindness
we will extend to The State friendly
warning. For it size it has swelled
surprisingly but we feel sure that be-
fore it attains the size Of the OK, il
will bust.

There is one phase of this expan-
sion question which, to our minds,
needs some light. Sooner or later it
will be fully understood, and then il
will be seen why some papers have so
violently opposed this war from the
beginning. The secret Vaccinations
of Jesuit influence are far reaching.
Spain is a Roman Catholic and the
United States is Protestant country.
We have seen it stated that the Pope
derives a large part of his revenues
from the Philippine islands. Mr.. King,
in his able work says: "The historic
fact cannot be concealed that the Span.
ish American war was a war between
Rome and Washington between papal
power and Republican power between
ecclesiasticism and liberty; between
the bondage of superstition and the
freedom of truth. 1t was the severest
blow to political ecclesiasticism that
has been struck in century," As
we'll as we can understand, the Romish
church fills about the place in the
Philippines that it did in Europe SOC
years ago, and the Pope well under
stands that the advent of the United
States means the introduction of Pro
testantism and the ultimate downfall
of Catholicism. Who can doubt that
he would rejoice to see the United
States relinquish its hold upon the
Philippines, and leave the ignorant
and superstitious people under the In
fuence of the Roman hierarchy
Who knows what secret, subterranear
influence may be brought to bear in
South Carolina to influence public SEN
timent in this direction.

CIRCUIT COURT.

The fall term of the court of general
sessions for York county convened on
Monday with his Honor Judge o. W..
Buchanan presiding, and Solicitor j.
K. Henry representing the state. All
of the regular court officials, down to
Hannibal Beatty, the indispensable
ianitor, were in their places as usual.
With two or three exceptions, the
grand jurors were present at roll call
and all entered upon the discharge of
their duties with the exception of Mr..
w. T. Huey, who was excused.
The full panel of petit jurors was
present with the exception of Messrs.
J. w. Harris and R. l.. White, whom
the sheriff had been unable to find,
and Mr.. J. D. Scruggs, of Rock Hill,
who claimed exemption because of his
Office of city treasurer. The following
members of the panel were excused
by the court, principally on account of
illness in their respective families: A..
B. Fewell, w. H. Hicklir, ]. H. Mil
ling, r. B. Riddle, R. Y. Williamson.
The first case taken up was that Of
William Young, the Negro boy who
broke into the residence of Mr.. ]. S.
Brice during the summer. He plead
guilty to housebreaking and also to
petit larceny. For the first named Of
fense he was sentenced to the chain
gang for IL months, and for the second,
months, making Is months in all.
William Barnett plead guilty to the
charge of riding a mule without the
consent of the owner, and was sen.
fenced to months on the public
works.
Alice jenkins was convicted OF lar
ceny and sentenced to months ON the
public works or in the penitentiary.
William Edwards was tried and con.
victed on the charge of housebreaking
and larceny. This is the Negro who
broke into Mr.. w. S. Plaxico's mill
some months back throug h trap door
A full account was published in The
ENQUIRER at the lime. Edwards
plead his own cases and furnished some
amusement. He told stories which
showed that he had been quite busy
with his head during his stay in Jail.
One of his stories was to the effect that
Mr.. Plaxica had conspired with him,
showed him Low to get the wheat, and
instructed him to- take it to distillery
and trade it for liquor. Mr.. Plaxico
does not use whisky; but from any
point of view, the story was SO absurd
as to lead the solicitor to present the
case to the jury about this way. "It
seems that MIR. Plaxico has been put
ting up very dirty job on this poor
Negro but he did not quite finish it.

ADVANCING PRICES.

Although the general public does
not seem to have very accurate ap-
probation of the situation, it is fact
that there has been in progress for
some time steady advance in the
price of all kinds of merchandise used
and consumed in this section.
The advance in iron and all kinds OF
manufactures of metal began to make
itself felt early last spring, and pur-
chasers of wire, axes, plows, shovels,
hoes, etc., have been brought up against
the situation with sudden jerk that
has made its impression. Since then,
various other articles in hardware
have felt the influence of the advance
in metal, and of late standard goods
of whatever kind, including the neces-
saries of life, have been moving up
ward steadily and positively.
At the time the bulk Of stocks OF
dry goods, clothing, ETC., now in the
shelves of the merchants all through
this section was purchased, the ad-
vance had not yet been seriously felt.
Within the past month or six weeks,
however, prices have been going up
like May thermometer, until now 1t
would be no serious exaggeration to
say that many of the larger dry goods
and clothing concerns of this section
could sell their entire stocks back to
the wholesalers at prices much larger
than was originally paid, and in some
instances at almost as good margin
of profit as was expected from the re-
tail of the goods. This is especially
true of hats, shoes, clothing and stand
ard cotton goods.
Just such an experience as this has
not come to retailers before since the
first 10 or Is years after the Civil war.
Retailers felt it. the other way when
the Wilson bill went into effect, and
wholesalers had a great picnic when
the Wilson law was repealed but now
the retailers, especially those who
handle goods in large quantities, and
who bought in August and September,
are having their innings, especially III
that they are generally relieved from
pressing anxiety to sell.
AS general thing, it is customary
with supply merchants, dealers in per-
ishable goods, to vary their selling
price in accordance with the huctua'
tions of the wholesale markets, regard
less of cost. The same rule applies
with almost equal force to hardware
but in the case of retail dry goods
men it is not common 10 advance
prices after the profits have been fixed.
They are inclined to hold more closely
to a uniform percentage. But under
present conditions the pressure for Il
change from this rule is unusually
strong. The dry goods men are una
BILE to duplicate any Of their present
stocks at the prices that prevailed a
few weeks back, and that they should
soon begin to call for profits on the
basis of present wholesale prices Is
very natural. ., -,
In view of the facts outlined, the
sensible thing for the consumers and
users of goods-those who know that

HALF BUSHEL ENOUGH.

Mr.. David It. Leslie, of Leslie sta.
ton, was in Yorkvile on Monday and
Tuesday. Mr.. Leslie is the author OF
the article on wheat culture recently
published in THE ENQUIRER, and
which attracted attention not only in
York county but in many other coun'
ties Of the state.
The only unfavorable criticism SC
far as the reporter knows that anybody
has seen fit to make, was suggestion
that perhaps in the case of large
grained wheat, half bushel to the
acre would I've too little. The repor
ter called Mr.. Leslie's attention to this
suggestion, and asked him for fur.
ther expression on the subject. He
replied:
81 did not attempt to 90 into the
whole question because do not be-
lieve people are disposed TO read long
articles as readily as short ones. Bu'
when l said a half bushel to the acre
is enough, l said it in the full knowl
edge that it is more than enough. O
course, large grained wheat makes q
difference; but do not know Of any
wheat in this state, half bushel ot
which would be too little TO sow on al
acre.
eff you cared to print them all
could give you numerous points to
prove that half bushel of seed wheat
to the acre is really too much. But
will only give you one instance. Down
in our ueighborhood, in 1898, a young
man named Frank Shillinglaw sowed
one bushel on three acres. The reason
he did not sow more to the acre, was
because he did not have the seed nor
the means to get it. He made AZ!
bushels on his three acres-a better
crop than was made by anybody else
in the neighborhood. And 1898 was
not good wheat year either.
"No," concluded Mr.. Leslie, "the
question of how little what should he
sown to the acre is difficult to arrive
at. 1t is hard to tell when you have
stand. l can easily tell when have
stand of cotton or corn but not SC
with wheat. 'lltell you this though
when you ride over your fields in Feb
ruary or March and see your wheat SC
thick as to almost cover the ground
you may put it down that you are moi
going to make much of crop. You
have seeded too heavily"
