- We reproduce today an interview
which Senator McLaurin recently gave
to The Manufacturers Record at the
request of that publication. The in
terview is in line with the senator's
general policy as a representative of
South Carolina and the south, in the
senate. He has never been disposed
to waste time or thought in trying to
keep alive dead or settled issues. In
stead of crying over split milk OF the
past, ne prefers to live in the present
and for the future, and all his efforts
are devoted to the development of the
material interests Of this section. The
interview throws light on matters that
are of especial interests to the people
of the south but of which the people
of this section have heretofore known
little.

The 1torkville enquirer.
YORKVILLE, s. G. {:
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1900

- The fate of the reciprocity treaty
with France is in more or less doubt.
Although negotiated under the super,
vision of President Mckinley, who is
a disciple of Blaine in the reciprocity
idea, many Republican protectionists
are protesting vehemently on the
ground that France will get more ben
eft than will be received by the United
States. 1t is likely that the protests
are based largely on the fact that the
greatest benefits may be expected to
accrue to the cotton producing sections
of the south?

make the necessary correction last
Saturday, and hence the continued
confusion. The club was billed TO ap.

no, withstanding the confusion, when
THE ENQUIRER went To press the
probability was that there would be
quite good sized audience present.
lMore than once attention has been
Hcalled in these columns 10 the large
number of loafers infestiug the town of
Yorkville. Instead of abating, the
evil seems to be growing. An Incl
dent of Sunday afternoon demonstrates
the seriousness of the situation. A
number of loafrrs, white and colored,
became engaged in brawl. 1t is
quite probable that the brawl was
occasioned through or by whisky; but
that is neither here nor there. The
fact remains that at least one of the
loafers was armed. He fired pistol
at another, and endangered the lives
of prominent citizens, ladies and gen.
tlelnen, walking along the sidewalks.
Such occurrences ought not to be tole-
rated. They do not have to he tole-
rated. There is q remedy. Loafers
of any kind are no good to commu-
nifty. They have no right in COM
munity. 1t is the duty of communi-
ty to run them out. This can be done
by making idleness, without visible
means of support, an offense punisha-
BILE by fine or labor on the public
worksf fThe question, "Where are you
working ?" should be applied as a sat-
isfactory test in all doubtful cases. In
this way it is possible TO put stop to
gambling, liquor selling and other such
occupations. The town can sustain
no injury by getting rid of people who
cannot give a satisfactory answer to
the question suggested. Unless some
step Of this nature is taken soon, it
will not be a great while before the
worthless, vagabond class that infests
the town will have gained such as
tendency as to be beyond control. 1t
is to be hoped that action will not be
deferred until another Sunday shoot
ing scrape on one of the prominent
streets of the town results in the kill
ing of some prominent citizen.

ONLY TO MAKE MONEY.

Is the honest making of money an
evil? That is a question which, on
its face, seems to be too absurd to be
worth the asking but upon little re-
Election one can see that it is not near
ly so absurd as it appears.
"He is only trying to make money" "
is an expression that one hears almost
every day, and usually the expression
is in a questionable tone that seems to
inquire into motives and impute dis
repute, regardless of whether the en-
terprise under consideration be com
mendable or not. Indeed, the dispo-
sitiou indicated seems to he so COM
mon as to warrant its being placed
among the most discreditable charac-
teristics of human nature, for it is a
fact that in nine cases out of ten such
an observation arises only out of the
lmpotent envy of the speaker.
We are led to these reflections prn-
cipally on account of newspaper COM
ments on the enterprise of the pub
fishers of the Topeka Daily Capital in
securing Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon to
edit that paper for week. Hundreds
of papers, in referring to this matter,
have thrown in the slur "only money
making scheme" But is it? Largely
so, no doubt but not entirely. How
ever, admit that it is "only money
making scheme" what is wrong with
it? People will patronize it with their
eyes wide open. If they get their
moneys worth they have no cause to
complain and if they do not think
they get their moneys worth they have
only themselves to blame. Surely no
one can question the right of the TO.
peka Daily Capital TO undertake such
an enterprise, or the right of Mr.. Shell
don to help it along. We are unable
TO see how or why the publishers of
the Daily Capital should undertake to
send out their paper to all who might
desire it, free of charge; and if they
should happen to get out of the enter
prise considerable surplus over and
above the expense, it seems to us that
they will have the right to dispose OF
that surplus as they see fit. If they
fail to get a surplus, it is not difficult
to imagine who will sustain the loss.
There is entirely too much of this
envious feeling abroad. There is not
only no harm in the honest making OF
money but such work is always laud-
able. After money has been honest.
ly made the responsibility comes in
the wise expenditure of it. Those
who know how to make it honestly
usually know how to expend it wisely.
While we have often been struck
with the observation-disclosures of question
ing or sluripg the motives of the max.
er of money through honest enterprise,
we no less feel the responsibility of
the public with regard to those who
seek to make money through dishon-
est means. 1t is for these that all
questions ought to be saved, and if the
public were more discriminating in the
distribution of its com mendation and
condemnation along these lines, the
result would be much better for all
concerned.

ing unable to get inside. He was ar
rested by the military. His wife swore
out writ of habeas corpus before
Judge Moore. The sheriff tried to
serve the writ but was prevented by
Taylor's military. The judge then
ordered the sheriff to organize posse
and use such force as might he neces-
Sary. Walker was released by order
of Taylor, the latter representing that
the arrest had been made because
of Walkers alleged attempt to incite
the troops to mutiny. 1t was really a
case of backdown. Without any posi-
tive declaration, it was the under

THE WAR In AFRICA.
som ething Going OH But the Public Is Kept
In the Dark.

Something Going on But the Public is Kept
In the Dark.
Since last Saturday there has been
but little satisfactory information from
the war in South Africa, the censor
ship being as strict as usual.
Reports from London indicate that
while the British people of all par
ties are a unit in upholdiug the pres
tige of the British empire, which is
considered to be in grave danger,
there is rising Indignation on account
of the srnallness and chickering's OF
those who have charge Of the gov
ernment. The government officials
and the party leaders on both sides
are accusing each other most bitterly.
The story that General Butler had
recrossed the Tugela river and is again
advancing to the relief of Ladysmith
is constantly repeated from unofficial
sources; but the war office as persis-
tently denies that it has any informa-
lion with regard to such movement.
A dispatch Of Monday from Durham
reports that General Buffers forces are
engaged in another heavy fight ; but
there are no details. AS to whether
General Butler has been reinforced
since the Spion kop affair is not
known, and there is feeling that if he
has not been reinforced he stands but
little chance of success.
Lord Roberts, the commander.in-
chief of the South African forces, is
still in Cape Colony organizing the
ARRIVING troops and making arrange.
ments for their transfer TO the front.
1t is reported that he is looking for
ward to an early invasion of the Or
ange Free State but it is not thought
that he will be ready to move for at
least three weeks.

European dispatches say that it is
probable the engagement of the In
fanta Marie Mercedes. eldest sister Of
the king of Spain, to the duke of
Abruzzi will soon be announced from
Madrid. 1t was thought the infanta
would marry Count Caserta, to whom
she was generally credited with hav.
ing given her hand. The adventures
of the duke in the Arctic regions are
said to have appealed to her Spanish
love of romance, and upon the renewal
of his suit after his recent return he
was, according to a cable from Rome,
accepted by the infanta with the con-
currence of her mother.
Alexander Bull, now in this country,
was born in Paris, under the shadow
of Notre Dame De Sorette, his mother
Alexanderine Felicite Villeminot was
a French lady of refinement. She was
the daughter of Alexandra VilleminOt,
who was ance page at the court OF
Napoleon Bonaparte. In features and
certain vivacity of style Alexander
Bull betrays his French origin, but in
carriage, bearing and talents he is a
living reminder of his Morse father.
He early displayed love for the violin
and had lessons from good teacher
in Christiania in his boyhood. All
further command of the instrument
he gained by constant intercourse
with master violinists, observing their
methods, appropriating those of his
father, most especially. His travels
in Europe and America have made
him a thorough cosmopolitan and his
"reminiscences of great artists and dis
tinguished people he has known would
make fascinating volume. His Jo-
seph Guarnerius is full sized pattern
dated 1742, it's makers best period
The term ''del Gesu" has always been
applied to this maker on account OF
the characters, G. FL. S., and a Roman
cross which almost invariably appears
on his labels. Ole Bull bought this
violin in 1888 of the famous collector
Tarisiv. In 1868 he gave it to his
son Alexander, priceless to him and
valued by collectors at twenty-five
thousand dollars. The ancestral
home, Valestrand in Norway also be-
longs to Alexander Bull and here q
part of every year is spent. The
coming season he will be travelling in
this country with his own concert
company.
