rolled 500. 900 of the 100000 converts
we expect to have by Jan. l. 1902. The
membership of this section is now
100000.
The time has arrived when the
Methodist church must bestir itself. Ii
is doing grand work. but must do bet
ter We shall begin by enlisting all the
pastors of all the churches, and they
will exhort their congregations to fur
nish volunteers to bring in converts.
I'VE think most of the converts will
be among younger people. and with
this end in view the Sunday schools
will be asked to exert all their infiu-
ences to increase attendance. Then we
shall work through the Epworth and
other leagues. Next. every stranger
who comes to a Methodist church VIII
be asked to join 1t permanently. After
these methods are exhausted we shall
send volunteer workers among people
who have never been or at least are not
at present members of any church.

Finding that he Is not welcomed as h
feels he ought to be. this stranger is
apt not to go to church again. and thus

IN HANDS OF RECEIVER.

Judge Gage has appointed tempo
rary receiver for the Crescent cotton
MILL of Rock Hill. The order was filed
in the clerks office yesterday by Major
James F. Hart and John r. Hart. Mr..
A. E. Smith, of Rock Hill, Is named
as the representative of the court.
The plaintiff in the case is Mr.. Sam
uel Friedheim, of Rock Hal. He COM
plains that the Crescent cotton mill
owes him $1,000, secured by $4,000 of
first mortgage bonds, and that he is
unable to collect the principal or past
due interest.
The Crescent mill was formerly the
Rock Hill mill. 1t will be remembered
that the Rock Hill mill got into trou-
BILE, went through receivership proceed
ings and was re-organized as the Cres-
cent. 1t has since been operated at a
loss, principally because Of inefficient
plant and lack of necessary working
capital, etc.
After working at the mill until they
became thoroughly discouraged and
hopeless, the stockholders finally de-
cided to permit it's being placed in the
hands of the court. For the purposes
Of the order just filed, the value of the
property was fixed therein at $4,000.

THE REASON OF IT.

The fact that the voters Of York
county chose the only prohibition rep
resentative who offered, and rejected
three dispensary candidates, indicates.
among other things, that York is pro-
hibitiOn county. Had there been nVe
prohibition candidates the probability
is that York would have sent prohibi-
tion delegation to the general assem-
bly.-Yorkville Enquirer.
Our contemporary at Yorkville must
know this is a false representation OF
the causes that led to the election of
Mr.. de Loach. and the rejection OF
three dispensary candidates" The
vote of the gubernatorial candidates
will more correctly show the sentiment
of the people of this county as between
prohibition" and the dispensary, and
THE ENQUIRER must know that there
can be no other conclusion from that
result than that prohibition has been
overwhelmingly defeated in York, for
it is a well-known fact, and it must be
known to THE ENQUIRER, that Colonel
Hoyt received the support of all the
prohibitionists as well as many person
al friends who are warm advocates of
the dispensary, and yet he cast only
1,159 votes, while the combined vote
of the dispensary candidates was 1922.

know that at least one Of the candi-

GRADED SCHOOL OPENING.

Pursuant to the invitation of Super
Iintendent Jones and the board of trus-
tees, quite a number of patrons of the
Yorkville Graded school attended the
opening last Monday morning.
The exercises Of the morning were
opened with prayer by Rev. B. II.
Grier, and there were appropriate ad-
dresses to patrons and teachers by
Rev. w. G. Neville, Rev. j. NJ. Stead
man, Rev. ]. w. Bozeman and w. w.
Lewis, Esq. The closing prayer was
made by Rev. DR.. S. A. Weber.
Although all of the talks were good,
that Of w. w. Lewis, Esq, was especl-
ally appropriate. Mr.. Lewis told the
patrons point blank that they had neV-
er done their duty by the institution
and that they could never expect the
best results until they did do their full
duty. Whose school Is this?' he
asked. Does it belong to the trus-
tees, the superintendent or the teach
ers? No, 1t Is your school. The trus-
tees, superintendent and teachers are
working for your children and you,
and it is your duty to show proper ap-
probation. More than anything else
the school teacher reminds me OF an
afectionate dog. say it in no disre-
spect. You may abuse him and treat
him most shamefully and he will not
resent it; but the moment you give
him the least encouragement or praise
he will lick your hand. Knowing this
you should give him the fullest conf
dence, and all the assistance that lies
in your power"
Those who attended the meeting feel
that the result will be very beneficial

A PAIR OF THEM.

In his campaign speech at Kershaw,
Col. Jim Tillman told the voters that
he was a consistent member Of the
Presbyterian church.
When the campaigners reached Gaff-
ney, several of them got together on
hotel piazza and entered into a social
conversation. An acquaintance turned
to Col. Jim, and twitted him about his
claims to church membership.
"That Is a fact" insisted Col. Jim
II am consistent member Of the Pres
byterian church. Senator Tillman,
who was sitting a few feet away
heard the remark and turning to his
nephew he asked:
What makes you tell such Cd
|d7n lie as that, Jim?"

THE BANK Is OPEN.

The Loan and Savings bank Is open
again. It opened its doors in accord
ance with the announcement published
last Saturday, and during all of yes
terday, at least up to the time THE
ENQUIRER went to press, did land Of
flee business.
The opening was in accordance with
the old routine, the same as If moth
ing unusual had happened. When 8
o'clock came President McNeel was
seated at his desk, Cashier Harrison
and Teller Dobson were at their win
dows, and Mr.. Dunlap was working at
his books. All were ready for busi-
ness.
The first customer was a well-known
local business man. He came in about
10 minutes after and made large de-
posit. Within a few minutes he was
followed by another on the same er-
rand, and pretty soon there were as
many as half a dozen men standing In
the lobby waiting their turn at the
cashier and all with cash to deposit.
All the officers were kept busy all
the morning. Cashier Harrison was
Especially busy, working with charac-
teristic deliberation and precision
Whether it was a check or a deposit
ticket, he disposed Of one customer af-
ter another, each in his turn, and prob
ably did as much business as during
any one morning for quite a long
while. But his work was mostly In
the line of receiving deposits. The old
customers Of the bank were actually
eager to get rid Of the accumulations
Of the past month, and the deposits OF
the morning have amounted to some
thing like $4,000.
There was some little demand for
money on the part Of customers, and
a few small checks were written and
cashed in the ordinary run Of business;
but during the whole day not single
deposit was withdrawn. There was
every indication that the business pub
lie is thoroughly satisfied with the sit

from this time on, the local banking
facilities will be sufficient to meet all
requirements.

along that the bank Is closed. Now pay.

For a month or more the business
interests Of Yorkville have been rum
ming as If they had slipped a cog. 1t
does not feel that way any more.
The postoffice was closed Monday
on account Of Labor Day. Had it not
been for this holiday, the bank would
have opened Monday instead of wait
ing until yesterday.
<XPlumber Rawls has been engaged
for the past week placing water meters.
Pretty nearly all Of the water con-
sumers are taking them. It Is expect
ed that the cost will be about the same
as heretofore under the rental system.
The graded school opened Monday
with fine attendance. If the people
will now hold up the hands Of the trus-
tees and give Superintendent Jones all
the help they can, Yorkville will have
a capital school. Let there be no kick
ing except through the proper channel
and that is through the board Of trus-
tees. And let there be. no kicking eth
er unless the kicker Is loaded with
facts.
Tuesday Of last week a young lady
left at this office pocketbook contain
ing money that she had found on the
streets and instructed that it be adver-
tised. The advertisement was inserted
in THE ENQUIRER Of last Saturday. It
was reasonable to assume that the
owner would be after his property
within two hours after the paper was
out. Many an advertisement In The
ENQUIRER has been known to do its
work. in more desperate cases, even in
shorter time than that. But there
has been no call yet. The 'pocketbook

is, will Colonel Hoyt enforce the law
more effectually than Governor Nc
Sweeney has been doing? Can he do
it? We can see where he can regulate
the dispensaries better, and we believe
he will; but so far as the war against
blind tigers is concerned we do not ex-
pect anything startling from either
Hoyt or McSweeney. Blind tigers can
be put down only by the development
of healthy moral sentiment in the COM
munities where they flourish.
So here is the issue as it now stands.
It is a question Of men not measures.
It is a question Of choice between two
good men. The continuance Of the dis
pensary will not be affected by the elec-
ton of either, and whether one or the
other is elected, the state is assured OF
a good governor.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-09-05
u0yT AND M'SWEENEY.

In view of the fact that majority
of the legislators elected in the recent
primary, are either dispensaryites or
straddlers, there is no probability Of
any material amendment to the dispen-
sary law, and the principal issue be-
tween Hoyt and McSweeney, therefore,
is their personal records and charac-
teristics.
It will be remembered that Colonel
Hoyt told the people that in the event
he should be elected, with the dispen-
sary law remaining on the statute
books, he would enforce the same to
the letter. He would do it, however,
with the regular executive machinery,
rather than by means of a special con-
stabulary, and he made it very clear
that he considered that the dispensaries
themselves were in greater need of reg
ulation even, than the blind tigers. BY
that he meant that the dispensers are
constantly violating the law and that
he will endeavor to make them observe
1T in both letter and spirit. He assumes
that if the state will observe it's own
laws, there will not be so much excuse
for the violation Of these laws by in
dividual citizens.
Mr.. McSweeney has, in our opinion,
made the state the best governor 1t has
had since the days of Johnson Hagood.
He has not been extreme; he has not
| been the tool of anybody, nor has he
lattempted to stir up unnecessary
strife. He is a successful business
man, who takes an intelligent interest
in the upbullding of the state, and this
writer knows it to be a fact that he has
very poor opinion Of the wisdom or
patriotism of Benjamin r. Tillman.
Governor McSweeney claims that he
has enforced the dispensary law better
than any other governor; but that is
only a matter of opinion. There are
two sides to the question. Tillman rails
ed a lot of fuss, ran rough-shod over
the constitution of the state, and up
held his constables in ruffianism and
murder; but still liquor was sold by the
drink, half pint and gallon in violation
of the law in every quarter of the state
| All the hubbub and violence went for
nothing toward the accomplishment OF
the practical result he claimed to have
| in view. John Gary Evans command
ed the respect of nobody, and did moth
ing to make friends for the dispensary
law. Mr.. Ellerbe was the first COVER
nor to appeal to and engage the reason
of the people on this question, and Nc
Sweeney has been carrying forward FL
lerbes work with very good success
But still the law is not enforced eth
er as to dispensers or blind tigers. Ev-
ery fair minded man in the state is
aware of this fact, and we are conf
dent that Governor McSweeney under
stands the situation as we'll as any
body.
The question before the people now

CAPTURE OF CONTRABAND.

Sheriff Logan made a big haul OF
contraband liquor at Guthriesville
last Monday afternoon, and shipped 1t
to Columbia.
The capture included 65 bottles OF
beer, AZ gallon keg Of whisky, 70
half -pints Of whisky, and % pints. The
whisky in the bottles was corn. The
keg was not opened to see whether 1t
contained corn or rye.
The consignment was to j. F. Simp-
son. There is no one Of that name IN
the neighborhood. A party from Rock
Hill had called for the stuff; but the
agent had refused to deliver it without
an order from the consignee. This was
not produced.
It Is understood that there Is a GER
tain tiger in Rock Hill. who makes 1t
q custom to have his supplies shipped
from Charlotte to different railroad
stations around Rock Hill, and then
hauls it to town in wagons. 1t Is be-
lieved that this shipment belonged to
a Rock Hill tiger.
This Is only one Of many seizures
that have been made from time to time
by Sheriff Logan. The fact is that the
sheriff has probably seized more whis-
ky than any constable who has ever
been located in this section. And he
has never received any pay for his
work. The law provides that he should
receive one-half the value Of all seiz-
ures; but as yet he has never heard
from a shipment after he has sent II
to Columbia. The seizure just made
was shipped direct to Governor Nc
Sweeney, with a request that he look
after Sheriff Logan's interest in the
matter.

Got q Satisfactory Specimen.
DR.. Miles Walker has secured a satis-
factory specimen Of hybridization be-
tween sugar corn and field corn. The
fact that he Is experimenting along
this line, was mentioned in THE EN-
oU1RER recently, as was also the fact
that the first ear that he showed the
reporter contained perfect grains OF
both varieties with no indications of
blend. On Monday, he found an ear
that contains a number Of grains show
ing perfect hybridization. On the cob
are some grains of sugar corn and also
some grains of field corn along with
some grains that are decidedly mixed
OF the mixed grains there about half
dozen, and these the doctor feels as
sured will yield the very product for
which he has been working.

1T is a well-known fact that Senator
Tillman was hardly friendly with Gov
ernor McSweeney during the recent
campaign. The trouble is explained In
a remark that the senator IS said to
have made when McSweeney succeed
ed to the gubernatorial chair. Tillman
said, "Oh, Mack is a pretty good fell
low; but he is too id unanimous,
meaning, Of course, that MACK" was
not bitter enough in his politics. But
since the defeat of Gary and Patterson
Tillman is drawing nigh to Mack. 1t is
a fact that the senator called at the
governors mansion last Saturday
night, something that he had refused
to do previously during the campaign
1t is clear that he is for Mack as
against Hoyt. In the defeat Of Gary
and Patterson he was badly licked; but
he cannot stand the idea of having his
discontinue made still greater by the
election Of Hoyt.
