IN RE COTTON MILLS.

However astonishing, it is a fact
that there are q great many cotton
raisers in this country who seem to be
imbued with the idea that the estab-
lishment of cotton mills here is a posi-
tive disadvantage rather than bene-
fit to the agricultural interests. This
idea is not confined to the more ignor-
ant classes but, strange to say, is en-
tertained by some of the most solid
and substantial men in this section.
Ordinarily The ENQUIRER would
not undertake to even discuss such a
proposition. While it is cognizant of
several new problems that have been
raised through the presence of cotton
mills in this section, it does not think
for minute that such disadvantages
as might be mentioned outweigh the
numerous advantages that are every
where apparent, so as the question ap'
pears very one-sided with the full
weight of argument in favor of the
mills.
In the first place, it is fact, to be
admitted with some reluctance, that
with few exceptions, the only people
in this section who have suffered on
account of cotton mills, are the capi-
talists who have put their money into
them. Many of them were seriously
hurt as the result of the remarkable
financial depression that began to set
tie down on the country in 1892 and
'93, and which continued with such
severity for several years thereafter.
The cause of this depression, of course,
it is unnecessary to discuss; but the
responsibility cannot be charged in the
least degree to the cotton factories.
There are those who claim that the
local factories have not helped the
price of cotton. We are unable to
agree with people who so think. When,
for instance, before the establishment
of such large number of cotton fac
tories in our own county, did anybody
ever know the cotton buyers of York
Vile, Rock Hill and Clover to pay
more for spot cotton than could be
gotten in New York or Liverpool? 1t
is we'll known fact that the exporters
who used to fix the price all the year,
now fix it for only part Of the year,
and that when the local mills are on
the market, the exporters have to
stand aside until the local mills get
what they want.

THE CHAINGANG.

The chaingang force is out on the
Charlotte road again for the purpose
of crushing the big pile of rock that
has been accumulated there. 1t ar
rived yesterday, and will remain until
the work in hand is completed.
The Bullock's Creek township peo-
pie have arranged to have some ma
cadam work done. They have hauled
over 200 loads of rock, and will con-
tinue hauling until they have l,700 or
1900 loads, which the chaingang will
crush and put down for them. Their
plans include q mile of macadam work
from the residence of Mr.. R. NJ. Car
roll, at Blairsville, down toward Bull
locks Creek church, and also perhaps
few other red places that get espe-
cially bad in winter. AS the crushing
plant is still located out on the Char
lotte road, it has been deemed advisa-
BILE to dispose of the rock there before
removing the plant to Bullock's Creek
township. Present plans still con-
template the removal of the plant
from Bullock's Creek to Broad River.
There was some grumbling about
the work of the chaingang when it
was first removed to Bullock's Creek.
That was while grumbling was gen.
orally considered to be the right thing,
and before a majority of the people
had decided to apply the test of merit.
At this writing the people of the Bull
locks Creek neighborhood generally
are speaking in the highest terms of
the work that has been accomplished
on their roads.

CHAPMAN-PALMER.

The social event of the season for
Bullock's Creek township occurred
yesterday morning at $50 o'clock. 1t
was the marriage of Rev. H. R. Chap
man and Miss Estelle Palmer, two well
known and popular young people of
that section. A special correspondent
of The ENQUIRER sent the particulars.
The church was beautifully decorat-
ed for the occasion, and in step to the
wedding march, rendered by Miss Ora
Palmer, a sister of the bride, the bride
and groom marched up the aisle, &C.
companied by the following attendants:
Mr.. R. A. Dobson, best man, and Miss
Minnie Palmer, maid of honor; DR..
J. G. johnson and Miss Marie Carroll !;
Mr.. Wesley Shannon and Miss Mabel
Sims; Mr.. J. E. Brakefield and Miss
Bertie Smith DR.. Abel Wilson and
Miss Clara Chapman.
The ceremony was performed in
an impressive manner by Rev. J. B.
Swami, pastor of Bullock's Creek
church, after which the wedding party
repaired to the residence of Mr.. w. G.
Palmer, the father of the bride. The
last information from the correspon-
dent was to the effect that the we'd
ding bells were ringing merrily for the
sumptuous feast that was still in course
of preparation.

A Cape Town, Africa, cable of
August 20 says: The Transvaal gov
ernment, it is reported here, has hand
ed its reply to the British agent at
Pretoria to be forwarded to Sir Alfred
Miner, British high commissioner for
South Africa, and governor of Cape
Colony. Conflicting accounts are CIV
en- as to its contents, and it is possible
that the report is premature, and that
the reply will be delayed, owing to the
trouble with Portugal about the trans
port of ammunition consigned to the
Transvaal now in Delagoa Bay. Strong
feeling has been aroused here by the
fact that the Transvaal is sending large
quantities of war material for distribu-
ton among its supporters in Cape Col
ony and the Orange Free State. Over
seven tons have been landed at Port
Elizabeth, on Algoa Bay, and sent over
Cape railway lines to Allwal for dis
tribution. The Cape Colony govern
ment complains that it could not pre-
vent their transport to friendly State,
and that if permission had been refus-
ed the supplies would have been sent
to Delagoa Bay. 1t is probable that
the matter will be referred to the i'm
perial government.

been plentiful enough, they have been
rather small in size. There have only
been a few loads of 20 or 25 pound
melons on the market.
Rev. B. H. Grier, pastor of the AS
sociate Reformed church, preached a
most excellent sermon last Sunday to
a large congregation. His subject was
the doubling of Thomas, and in the
course of his remarks he showed how
the greatest douhters often become to
be the strongest believers, etc. But
one especially good point he made was
on the duty of regular church attend
ance. He pointed out the trouble that
Thomas got himself into by his failure
to be with the other disciples when
Christ appeared to them, and then he
showed how it was the duty of every
church member to 60 to church every
Sunday. 1t was not sufficient to mere
ly 60 to church but church members
should 90 to their own churches. 1t
is true that the preaching may be dull,
the prayer spiritless and tiresome, and
the singing without interest; but still
there was in store for those who at
tended at least valuable lesson in the
practice of the virtue of patience, and
there was steady gain for him rather
than any possibility for loss. This
brief notice, of course, does not give
anything like an adequate idea of the
sermon; but all who heard it acknowl-
edged its power.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-08-23

1t has been argued that the local
mills work an injury in the market in
that they take the best grades of, COT
ton and leave the exporter to fix prices
on a basis of poorer grades. This
sounds plausible; but it is not sustained
by the facts. There are but few mills
in Louisiana, Mississippi .and Texas.
Nothing like enough to affect prices of
cotton in those states and while the
local markets in this section are as
high as those of New York and Liver
pool, the markets of Mississippi, Louis
lana and Texas are considerably lower.
Of course, with the cotton mills
Dragging of making dividends of from
20 to 80 per cent, it is natural that
the cotton producer should have dis.
satisfied feeling to the effect that he is
not getting fair divide. But then no
one can reasonably expect mill people
to pay any more for cotton than is ab-
solutely necessary to get what they
want. Few people do business that
way, and after all it is not difficult to
see how much better it is for the whole
country that our own people, instead
of foreigners, should get the benefit of
the wide margin of profit there is be-.
tween raw cotton and the manufac-
tured product.

There is no doubt about the fat

- There is no doubt about the fact
that Senator Tillman is the smartest
politician who has ever been before the
people of South Carolina. We do not
mean to say he is the ablest states
man. The state has had many ADLER.
He is able, however, and he is smart.
No other public man has ever better
understood how to keep himself more
advantageously before the public. A
handsome illustration of this point is
now a matter of current discussion.
1t happened that The News and Cou-
rier had a reporter on hand when SEN
ator Tillman recently made his sensa-
tional outburst at Sumter. The Incl
dent was one that any newspaper man
who knows his business, would regard
as we'll worth publishing. The State
had no representative there. The ed
itor of that paper, however, is too good
a newspaper man not to realize how
thoroughly he had been scooped by his
competitor, The News and Courier.
We feel pretty sure that if he had had
a report he would have published it
eagerly. In order to in some degree
break the force of his slip up, he print
ed in his editorial columns some COM
ment to the effect that the newspapers
are responsible for Tillman's elevation,
and that the best way to suppress him
is to ignore him. The inference was
that it was because of the pursuance
of such a policy that it published no
report of the Sumter speech. Since
then the State has been following Till
man up closely, printing every striking
remark he makes. In the meantime,
Tillman is claiming that he is being
ignored by The State and News and
Courier and is making big capital for
himself. In his speeches he makes no
reference to the fact that both papers
are now giving him lots of space; but
leaves the impression that the only ad-
vertising he is getting is by means of
his own tongue. In other words, he is
dosing both papers with the medicine
The State suggested should be dosed
to him and while The State is evident
ly at loss to know how to straighten
out the situation, Tillman is having a
great deal of fun. When it comes to
taking care of Tillman, the senator
has a long head.

TURBULENT FRANCE.
Paris Is Practically In the Hands Of An
archists.

Paris Is Practically In the Hands OF An
archists.
The city of Paris, and, in fact, all
France, is stirred with excitement, the
like of which has not been witnessed
since the days of the Commune. Vio-
lence and murder is stalking abroad in
the land, and it looks as if it will be
only a few days more before the peo-
pie of the whole country are cutting
each others throats.
The foundation Of the trouble is the
Dreyfus trial. The proceedings in this
remarkable case, since its reopening,
would be laughable were it not for the
fact that a nations sense of justice
and the life of an innocent man, to-
gether with the honor of his family,
are the great stakes at issue. There
seems to be absolutely no evidence
pointing to the guilt of Dreyfus. All
the testimony that has been given
against him is of a most ridiculous
character, and the surprising wonder
is that grave and dignifed judges of
any nation can permit themselves to
continue as parties to such a farce.
But still the nation is almost equally
divided on the subject. The army, un-
der the auspices of which Dreyfus was
originally convicted, vehemently insists
on his guilt despite the fact that it can
produce no evidence worthy of the
name, while the people, on the other
side, are insisting, on the innocence of
the accused and denouncing the army.
There appears to be no such thing as
calm, cool reason on either side. On
the contrary, it looks altogether like a
matter of impulse. and the government,
recognizing that whether there is an
other conviction or an acquittal, there
will probably be revolution, is in the
most serious quandary as to what to
do.
On last Sunday, 1000 anarchists met
to denounce the police for their failure
to arrest M. Guerin, the anti.Semite
leader, who has been holding his own
for the past week. The police tried to
disperse the socialists, who resisted and
overcome the police. Then the crowd
began to grow until it numbered 25,-
600 people or more, and these, among
other things, plundered and wrecked
two churches. The police finally
managed to disperse the mob; but
not until after many heads had been
mauled, and hundreds of people were
more or less seriously stabbed.
