For THE ENTERPRISE
TaxahaW School Closing.

Mr.. Editor AS l have not
seen anything in the columns
of your valuable paper concern
ing the closing exercises of the
TaXahaw school. will en-
deavor to give you a brief
account of the proceedings.
The Taxhaw school, taught
by Mr.. A. G. Rowell, (who by
the-way is a candidate for the
office of Superintendent of Edu-
cation) opened it's summer ses-
sion July 18th, 1899, and after
about six or seven weeks it sus-
pended for six weeks, during
the busy gathering season, but
reopened on October 10Th, and
continued in regular session
until Friday night, May 18th,
at which time the students gave
a very interesting exhibition,
consisting of speeches, recita-
tions, dialogues, music, &C., in
which the students reflected
great credit both to themselves
and teachers.
The crowd began to assemble
at the academy about sunset,
and when the hour arrived for
the exercises to begin. the large
and commodious building was
packed to overfowing and there
We're a great many that could
not be accommodated.
The exercises lasted for about
four hours and through the
whole time, a more orderly
audience | don't think could be
found anywhere and all retired
to their homes seemingly sat
isfied with the evening thus
spent.
On the day following the pat
rons of the school and also many
friends from other sections gave
a grand picnic at the "Forty
acre Rock" "
The Sunday school of Union
church, Flint Ridge, S. c., had
scheduled a picnic at the Rock
on the same day, SO by mutual
agreement, the parties joined
"forces" and made one of the
"biggest picnics" ever given on
the famous wonder of Lancaster
county.
About 9 O'Clock the people
began to assemble and continued
to come until quite large crowd
were on the surface of this great
rock.
The first on the program for
the day was some exercises by
Union church Sunday school,
after which the people were found
amusing themselves in various
ways, some preferring a quiet
rest in the pleasant shades, while
others were exploring the great
wonders to be seen at this rock.
Noontime was soon at hand
and the next on hand was the
dinner which was greatly enjoyed
by all present.
After resting awhile the crowd
repaired to grove near a spring
of sparkling water clear as crys
tai, bubbling forth from the
depths of the rock. In a short
time a large number of the pic
nickers had taken seats such as
nature had provided.

A Quick Witted Beggar.

When a beggar asked a Philadelphia sta
toner the other day for help the latter
offered him two lead pencils, saying:
with half the effort required in beg

cents apiece" The beggar gazed at the
pencils scornfuly. who'd give me five
cents for them?" he demanded. "Why.

and try it" Would you?" asked the beg
gar. "Why, certainly" was the reply A
smile of triumph spread over the grmy
features of the mendicant. Here you are.

recover his breath, but he finally entered
into the deal. and hereafter he will adopt
other tactics.

The Goodland (Kan) News says: "a
Populist came in to see US the other day
with a look of trouble on his brow. He
said he had read in his paper that the
Republican party realized that the coming
election would be their last victory at the
polls, and rather than see the Populists
in power they were going to destroy the
world. We asked how. He said that his
paper stated that the Pacific ocean was
several hundred feet lower than the At
lantid ocean, and the Republicans intend
ed 10 dig the canal, and when they got it
done the water would run into the Pacific
and get US out of balance, and the world
would go kersmash. We told him as the
Populists had found out the scheme we
expected the Republicans would give ii
up. He said he hoped so, but he was 60
ing to have the County Central Commit
tee meet, anyhow. and talk the matter
over"

An army officer, according to an ex-

lain friends was on an army transport,
going south with officers and men from
Various regiments. The officers were
playing cards in the cabin from morning
to night. When Sunday came the chap
lain took a good supply of reading matter
from his cabin, and was on hand with
it as the breakfast table was cleared off
and the officers were getting ready to
play cards as usual. Stepping to the head
of the table he said, good naturally: Gen
tlemen, tracts are trumps to-day and it S
my deal All right chaplain the officers
responded, give us a hand The books
and prayers were given out. No cards
were played that day. The chaplain had
his opportunity unhindered, because he
showed tact in his way of presenting his
case"

THE GOLD STANDARD ASSURED:

The Philadelphia Times says that the
passage Of The financial bill which will
be acted on by the House to-day, the Sen
ale having already passed it, will settle
the free silver coinage question for years
to come. if not for all time II says
Free silver coinage at the ratio OF 10 TO
/ viii no< fight in the next campaign"
No doubt the Times is sincere in taking
This view of the silver question, but it is
very doubtful if 1t is the correct view. II
is about certain that Mr. Bryan VIII
be the Democratic nominee for President
and that he viii keep the silver ques ton
at the front If he should be elected he
would use all the power he possessed to
bring about the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 10 to l. With
the pending fnanfal bill law he would
not be able 10 accomplish much except
10 keep the business world nervous, but
if ne had the support of a House and Sen
ate that accepted his views there would
not be much difficulty in upsettng all that
the Republicans are doing to establish the
gold STANDARD.
The Times may be right in asserting
that the Democrats Will not press the sill
yer question on the attention of the oOun-
try in the campaign this year, but if they
do not IL will not be because they accept
the statement 80 often made in the Repub-
lican papers that the silver issue is prac-
tical.y dead. They will do so because other
issues-imperiaIism and trusts-demand
more attention than silver. But there will
be no promise direct or indirect chat they
will not legislate on the silver question
in accordance with their platform on the
silver question if they should get into pow
er.
The feature of the financial bill that will
be more effective chan any other in draw
ing attention away from silver is that
which provides for refundng a part Of
the public debt and increasing the volume
of paper currency. If as much circulation
IS taken OUT as is now expected there will
be, the volume of the currency will be
increased 50 much that money will be
plentiful and cheap in the remote rural
districts as well as in the cities. There
will be national bank in about every
county in the country. II is probable that
the Republicans in providing for a great
Increase in the volume of paper currency
had in mind the effect such legislation
would have in lessening the demand for
free silver coinage

A TRUST IN POULTRY:

The announcement is made that the
great packing firms of Armour & Co. and
Swift & Co are arranging to give special
attention to poultry. For some time they
have been canning chicken in various
shapes, and of late have been doing some
business in distributing dressed fowls. Ac-
cording to the information, they are TAX
ing steps to bring under their system the
refrigerator poultry trade of the country.
the intention being to handle dressed
fowls just as dressed meats are handled.
Already, it is said the firms are securing
control of the best chicken producing ter
ritory and making contracts for large sup
plies of fowls.
Up 10 this time the poultry business has
been free from monopoly. 1t has been
carried on by small firms or by individ-
uals, with probably a fair degree of profit.
The law of supply and demand has been
the only one to govern the prices. Deal
ers have purchased where they pleased,
and producers have sold for the highest
rates obtainable in an open market.
Should the dressed poultry business get
into the hands of the great corporations
the conditions might be somewhat chang
ed. Both producers and dealers might
have, in a greater or less measure, to be
governed by the prices of the trust.
Meantime, there is not a great deal of
danger that the trust would ever be able
TO squeeze consumers to any considerable
degree. 1t will not be as easy to control
the poultry market as the beef market.
There will always be a local supply of
poultry which will prevent the trust
from robbing the buyer Chickens are
easy to raise, and the care of them does
not cost a great deal. Especially is this
true of Georgia and the South. We have
not made a feature of poultry raising
heretofore because, generally speaking. we
have not thought 1t worth while; but we
are prepared to go into the business upon
short notice. In a years time we could
multiply the output by five, or better.
The proposed poultry trust might be able
to wiring some extra profits out of the
great cities of the North and East, but it
could not do any serious hurt to the
South and the West unless they were to
suplnely permit themselves to be imposed
upon.
