HOLLAND and Portugal are quarrel
ing. It is because of the withdrawal by
the Portuguese of the exequator of Herr
Pott, the Dutch consul at Lorenzo Mar
ques. 1t is understood that the Portu-
guese took their action at the instance
of Great Britain. Holland has with
drawn her minister from Portugal and
Portugal has withdrawn hers from
Holland. The two nations are in a bad
frame of mind towards each other;
but it is not believed that there will be
any trouble. Great Britain is backing
up Portugal, and it Is not thought that
other European nations will dare inter-
fere. But if the settlement should be
left to Portugal and Holland alone,
Holland would prove too much for the
Portuguese. She is superior both in
the number, size and strength of her
ships and Portugars army, on peace
footing, is only one-third as strong as
Hollands.

ALTHOUGH it is not yet certainty, 1t
is reasonably probable, that the portion
of the war revenue law, which relates
to taxation of bank checks, will be re-
pealed before Christmas. The matter
is now under consideration in the house
and may be acted upon during the pres
ent week. The principal source Of op-
position is in the beer brewers. They
are anxious to secure the removal Of
the war tax from beer, and they have
a strong lobby at Washington working
to have the check tax remain instead of
the beer tax Many large bankers are
also in favor of the continuance of the
check tax for the reason that it relieves
them of the trouble of having to
cash and handle so many small checks.
The tendency of the tax is to do away
with these. But taking everything into
consideration, there is good reason to
hope that the check tax will be remov-
ed. There are interested jim it larger
number Of people than in any of the
other special taxes, and the ways and
means committee will probably insist

NEWS AT OGDEN.
Ministers Home on a Visit-Good Prospects
For Wheat-RaIroad Improvements.

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
OGDEN.-Rev. E. F. Scoggins is home
from his work in the lower part of the
state, after about years absence. He
came up last Tuesday from conference
at Chester. He preached at Antioch
Sunday at II o'clock a. m. He will
leave for his new work in Marion about
next Thursday.
Rev. j. R. Copeland also came up
from Chester, but his visit was short
and did not have the pleasure of meet
ing him. These brethren have our best
wishes as they leave to take up their
work for another year.
The small grain crop Is quite promis-
ing. The acreage is larger than 1t has
been for good many years, and the
grain is showing up better than it u.s.
ually does so early in the fall. We are
expecting good harvest.
Some nice pigs have been killed
around Ogden, and as we pass about
we see others still fattening. There is
more hog and hominy in this section
than there was last year.
Your correspondent drove through
the country from Ogden to Chester, 3
or 10 days ago. The portion of Chester
county that we passed through, Is be-
hind York county on the grain ques-
tion. We saw only few fields OF grain
from where we crossed the line to the
city. Other portions of the county may
be doing better.
The Southern railroad is building an
extra switch, or side-track, at Ogden.
We understand that the new track will
be used only by moving trains, while
the old track will be used for standing
cars that are to be loaded with seed,
wood, etc. for shipment. and cars that
are loaded with freight for this place.
We are glad to report that the gene
raj health of this community is very
good. 8. X. j.

REFERRING to the Negro question in
a recent editorial. the Atlanta Daily
News said: 1.-The only safe course Of
the South is the one which deals justly
with the Negro. No other policy can
last, for behind the Negro as behind
every other people, there are eternal
forces beyond the control of man." AL
though there are many who are inclin-
ed to look upon this as merely a high
sentiment, it should not be so consider
ed. 1t is plain, common sense, the
soundness Of which has been attested
by all experience from the foundation
Of the world. 1t applies not only to
the Negro; but to fairness and justice
in every transaction of life. Even the
individual man or woman who at
tempts to turn aside or momentarily
defect the eternal laws of right and
justice, invites inevitable punishment.
There is no exemption in the case of
communities or nations. The consid-
GRAFTON of such matters is not pleasant;
but if it is facts we are looking for,
here they are.

SOMETHING of a scandal has develop

public Monday. Frank P. Guest, head
of a New York cotton commission
house, stated Sunday that the report
had been offered to him on Saturday.

change, was notified and the matter
will be made the subject of a Federal
The monthly bulletins
Of the agricultural department are OF

square dealing is imperative. If the

ed the information, can be spotted, he
should be dealt with as an example.

THE COTTON MARKEE.

The farmers from differents sections
Of the county who rushed their cotton
to market last week certainly did much
better than If they had waited until
now. The government report, publish
ed Monday, paralyzed the New York
cotton exchange, and pulled down
prices everywhere. That there will be
a reaction soon is reasonably certain;
but whether it will come before Febru7
ary or March Is rather doubtful The
story of Mondays developments on the
New York cotton exchange is told ~
a dispatch Of Monday night as follows:
The cotton market opened easy with
prices three points higher to five points
lower, and all the forenoon eXhlplteu
intense nervousness though ruling COM
paratlvely time in speculative sense.
Reports to the effect that the govern
ment report was already In the posses.
sion of parties outside the department
at Washington naturally created ner-
vousness This feeling of uncertainty
led to an evening up of accounts IN
both Sides On the opening disappolnt-
ing English cables, European selllng
orders and heavy receipts weighted
down the market. Soon after the call
a sharp rally occurred IN a hurry Oh
room and outside covering, started by
a sudden shift in the trend of fiuctGa-
tions in Liverpool Thereafter Var!a-
tions in the local pit were narrow win
the market apparently In position 10
bolt either way upon the slightest prov
ocation. Southern wires stated that
despite the big movement cotton was
being eagerly bought as fast as 1T came
forward. Mills and exporters were
heavy buyers in gulf and Atlantic port
markets.
Late in the morning shorts made
wild dash to cover on rumors that the
government report had become known
and was bullish. Prices advanced 10
points on these reports. At midday,
just before the government report
reached the exchange, prices showed
slight net advance over Saturdays
closing figures.
Soon after IL o'clock the government
report, estimating the cotton crop at
10, 100, 900 bales, on an acreage OF 25,o54'-
734 was announced. This was more
than 25O,000 bales In excess Of the pop
ular estimate and caused q panic to
sell, under which prices dropped ~ to 5o
points in q few minutes. Intense ex-
citement prevailed and the selling was
enormous. Large blocks Of long cotton
was dumped on the market. which had
been bought on the bullish rumors.

ENQUIRER a home grown lemon that
weighs one-and-one-half pounds.
= At meeting held last Friday night
the town council accepted the resigna-
tion of Mr.. w. M. Propst as alderman
in Ward l, and by reference to the ad-
vertisementiu -anoth theIeofunm, it-WOl
beAoted that an election will be held
on Saturday, December %, for his sue
cessor >Only residents Of the ward will
be permitted to vote in this election.
AT the instance Of cotton buyers,
the town council has under considera-
tion the idea Of establishing the office
of cotton weigher in Yorkville, and
have all cotton weighed by a bonded
official. This arrangement Is in vogue
this and other states. AS a rule, the
weigher gets 10 cents bale for weigh
ing cotton, and in some cases the pay
ment of the fee comes half from the
buyer and half from the seller; while
in other cases the buyer pays all. In
all cases, the report Of the official
is final, and there Is left no
ground for disputes or dissatisfaction.
So far as THE ENQUIRER has informa-
ton, there has been no complaint on
account Of the Weighing Of local buy
ers. Sellers are invariably willing to
trust this matter to the people to whom
they sell. 1t Is the cotton buyers them
selves who prefer to get relief from
this responsibility,

THE new regulations of the state PEN
sion board seem very well calculated
to conflne the pension appropriation to
a class that not only deserves; but ac-
tually needs it. 1t has not heretofore
been the disposition Of county boards
to be too strict in the matter Of grant
ing applications. They have been dis
posed to assume that there would be a
general laxity, and undue strictness on
their part would only operate to put
their respective counties at a disad-
vantage. The result was the admission
of many applications that hardly came
within the law. This, of course, be-
came source Of offense to many vete-
rams who had just as much right to
apply; but who felt delicacy about
doing so under the circumstances, and
also to their friends. The practice also
reduced the pro rata amount availa-
BILE for the most needy, and made the
law something Of a farce-a source Of
dissatisfaction to all concerned. The
new arrangement is calculated to cor
rect much of this in that the appropri-
alton will go where it is more sorely
needed.

Blacksburg Knitting Mill.
Correspondence Greenville News: The
stockholders Of the spinning and knit
ting mill at this place, held a meeting
at the factory Thursday. The mill has
just been completed, but having ex-
hausted all the money, the question
was how to equip and operate the mill.
The first proposition made was for the
stockholders to double the amount Of
their stock; but that proposition did
not meet with approval. The next
proposition was to let any man or set
Of men have the profits Of the mill for
Is months, If he or they would equip
and operate it. That proposition met
with approval. The question now Is,
who will accept 1t.
In Barns and Enclosures.
The bureau of agriculture has issued
from the census statistics, bulletin
showing the number of domestic AMI
mails in the United States, in barns
and enclosures, not including farms
and ranges. The figures in York county
are: Calves under year, 81; calves be-
tween l and years, 13; steers between
2 and years, 4; steers over years,
5; bulls over l year, 4; heifers between
/ and 2 years, IS; dairy cows, Q years
and over, GIL; other cows. 2 years and
over, l; horses, 2 years and over, 1868;
colts, under 1 year, IA; colts, between
2 and years, 3; mules 2 years and
over, 81; mule colts under 2 years. 7;
asses 2; hogs, 900; goats, IA. The fig
ures appear to be astonishingly small,
and we are inclined to question their
but it must not be forgot
the fields and pastures Of their owners,
are not included in this count. For in
stance, York is not credited in this
special list with a single sheep; but
that there are a hundred or more in
the county, Is certain.
