Money Center of the World.

New York is coming to be recognized
as the financial center of the world.
The man who would have claimed this
ten years ago would have been con-
sidered rash indeed. Now the nations
of the world are admitting the truth
of this by coming to New York TO ne
gotiate their loans and fill their de-
pleted money bags from the Golfers of
the new financial power of the west.
That New York's great stride in the
direction indicated is no mere change
of tickle fortune, but is in accordance
with the law of the inevitable is dem
onstrated. The loss of prestige in
London and the accession of New
York to this new power is the law of
the inevitable. That nation which
produces the most wealth will dictate
how that wealth will be spent aud there
by in a very simple, practical way de-
termine the balance of power in the
financial world. The United States
is the richest country under the sun.
Great Britain is next, the ratio being
in direct proportion to the population
as the per capita wealth is about the
same.
Where the United States excels in
point of wealth is on its fertile farm
lands and its square miles of mountain
ranges with their deposits of precious
metals. Its national possibilities are
as unlimited as its future is unbound.
ed. 1t is the wealth of the nation that
gives New York its preeminence as
money center.-Albuquerque Citizen.

Immediately afterward, and the charge
took effect in the back part of Mr..

most into jelly and lodging against

As soon as he was able to do so, Mr..

same afternoon and held an inquest.
Mr.. J. w. Matthews served as foreman

The deceased leaves widow and

BLACKSBURG BUDGET.

Mr.. James Mercer Killed by an Engine
Wednesday Night-PersonaI Mention.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville ENQUIRER
BLACKsBURG, February 15.-Our
community was shocked this morning
at the news of the killing of James
Mercer, the oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Mercer, which occurred last
night, about 8 o'clock, at the Byars
crossing of the Southern railroad, in
the northern part of the town. His
body was found about $50 o'clock by
Jack Oates, colored, as he was walking
up the railroad to his home. Chief of
Police Duncan was notified immedi-
ately, and be soon recognized the un-
fortunate boy, and summoniug help, be
placed his remains, which were in a
badly mangled condition, upon a
stretcher and carried them to his home.
An inquest was held over him today
by the coroner of the county, and the
evidence given was sufficient to con-
vince the jury that his death resulted
from being struck by the cowcatcher
of the engine of a Southern freight
train while be was attempting'to cross
the track, and their verdict was rem
dered accordingly. His father, who
left home few days ago for western
trip, was summoned home by telegram
from Birmingham, Ala, and will prob
ably arrive tonight. Jim was l8 years
old, just budding into young manhood.
He was favorite in his family, and
popular with all who knew him, and
his untimely taking off is lamented by
all of our people who deeply sympa-
thize with the bereaved parents and
family.
Mr.. H. G. Coe, formerly of this place,
but for the past two years residing in
Asheville, has been again appointed
supervisor on the Southern between
Spencer and Atlanta, and has moved
his family back TO Blacksburg, where
they have many friends and meet with
a warm welcome. Mr.. A. Bruner, re-
Gently of Orangeburg, has also become
citizen of Blacksburg. He and his
family occupy the house on the corner
of Lime and York streets, and he will
be engaged as inspector of bridges on
the Southern road from Spencer to
Atlanta. w. A.

Broad river has been high out of its
banks during the past few days, over,
flowing the bottoms almost up to the
point of record breaking watermarks,

The senate did not cut Winthrop's
appropriation as was feared. The full

Lent Soon Here.
The lenten season is very near at
at hand and soon the members of the
churches that observe lent will have to

forty days of denial and church going
Ash Wednesday comes a little later
than usual this year, falling on Febru,
ary %. April 13 is Good Friday, and
April Is Easter Sunday.
Wheat Looking Better.
Up to ten days ago the outlook for
the wheat crop was not especially
encouraging. The stand had appar-
emily suffered on account of the recent
freeze. The reporter is without de-
tailed information from all parts of the
county; but gentleman who was in
Yorkville from Bethel township on
Wednesday, said the wheat in his
neighborhood had improved wonder
fully since the rains of last week, and
the stand now is as fine as he has ever
seen. In his opinion good crop is
almost assured, the principal danger
being the possibility of freeze in the
early spring after there has been con-
siderable progress in joiptiug.
Heavy Cotton Sales.
The advancing prices of the past few
weeks have brought forward a con-
siderable quantity of cotton that has
been waiting on the same. Within the
past week or 10 days Yorkville buyers
have bought fifteen hundred bales in
large and small lots. The mills, it is
to be noted, are not in the market very
extensively just at this time. Most OF
them either have all the cotton that
they need to run them through, or all
that they they think it best to carry.
As indicated some two weeks ago, it is

vised acceptance and peace reigned.
On the same day one of the merchants
mentioned disposed of thee car loads
of fertilizers. Two other meetings
were scheduled in the county, one to-
day and one next Wednesday but
very little interest seems to be taken
in them as to the controversy is
thought to be about over.
Bryan In Columbia.
Hon. VIM. J. Bryan arrived in Co.
lumbia last Thursday shortly before
noon. He was met at the depot by
several hundred enthusiastic Demo
Gratis. At IL o'clock he went to the
South Carolina college and addressed
the students, by whom he was enthu-
siastically received. At o'clock he
spoke to an audience of over 5000 peo-
pie from a platform in the rear of the
State House. On the stand with him
were the legislative committees, Gov
ernor McSweeney, General Hampton
and other distinguished citizens. Col
onel Bryan was most enthusiastically
received. Speaking of the duty Of
legislatures, he emphasized the fact
that they were servants and not mas.
ters. The people did not elect them
to do their thinking; but to do what
the people thought. He next spoke
on the money question, and said that
though it had been buried every year
since 1896, he thought it still had one
year of life, at least. The reason it
cannot be buried forever, is because
no tomb is so strong as to hold a right
eous truth. He next paid his respects
to the Imperialism of the Republican
party, and in many eloquent passages
strongly pointed out what he called
the supreme danger of such policy
to the welfare of the government and
people.

Meeting to be Held In Yorkville on

Meeting to be Held In Yorkville on
Monday, February 10th.
To THE FARMERS OF YORK COUNTY:
DY this time most of you have been
ID apprsed of the fact, that as compared
with last year, there has been consider
able advance in the price that is being
demanded for commercial fertilizers.
Quite likely a portion OF this advance IS
iuslifiable; but more likely most of it is
due to the arbitrary mandate of the trust
that is known as the Virginia Chemical
company. At any rate, the situation is
one that should not be submitted to with
out due deliberation.
1t was our understanding that the farm
ers of the county would meet in the court
house on salesday in February, pursuant
to the recent call of the Gre enwood meet
ing, for the purpose of at least discussing
the question of whether these prices, fixed
by the trust, are to be submitted TO, or
whether an attempt would be made to
perfect other arrangements. We found
quite number of people under the same
impression; but no action was taken,
presumably because no one took the
initiative.
We are advised that the farmers have
held meetings in many counties III the
state, and in many cases these meetings
have been fruitful of good results. Under
the circumstances we are convinced that
some good will come from discussion of
the situation in York county, and, there
fore, we take it upon ourselves to call a
meeting of all interested, to be held in
the COURT HOUSE at IOrkville ON
NEXT MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, at
II o'clock a. M, for the purpose of taking
such action as may be deemed advisable.

of the buying. There is feeling, too,
that prices have not reached the ex-

to say that if sales throughout the
