to show whether they are capable O
self-government.

AS usual, there is much complaint at
the inability Of Columbia to handle the
great crowds of people who annually
attend the fair. That the Columbia
people think they did their best we do
not question; but If they really did
their best, then their best lacks a great
deal of being up to requirements. 1t is
estimated that the crowd of last week
included some $4,000 visitors. These
figures are no doubt pretty nearly cor
rect. But all the visitors were not ac-
commodated. Hundreds, probably
thousands, walked the streets, and
piled themselves into hotel lobbies be-
cause they were unable to get beds up
on which to sleep. Many went home
declaring that they would never again
go to Columbia on the occasion Of such
another crowding. They brought away
a bad impression Of the city. THE EN-
ouIRER has no sympathy with the idea
Of holding the State Fair in any other
city. Columbia Is the place for it. The
institution is, upon the whole, a good
one, and it should be maintained. 1t is,
however, Of great benefit to Columbia,
commercially and socially, and the COL
umbia people should do great deal
more than they have been doing for
the accommodation Of their visitors.
The town is big enough to easily enter
tain $4,000 visitors, or even larger
number; but the feat cannot be accom-
plished without a thoroughly organ
lied information bureau. Some work
was done along this line for the occa-
sion last week. The work was better
than usual; but 1t was not up to re-
quirements. The bureau should be
equal to the task Of finding a place for
the entertainment Of every stranger
who is able and willing to pay. Until
Columbia does herself and the visit
ors full justice along this line, she
cannot expect even a majority Of her
visitors to go home thoroughly pleased.

The bicycle thief is a pest who
should be looked after with especial
care. Owners Of wheels are bound tc
leave them unguarded at times. For g
thief to mount such a wheel silently
ride away and get miles Of distance be-
tween himself and the owner before
the theft is discovered, is an easy mat
ter. Such thefts are Of frequent occur
renee. The telephone is often useful ir
heading off the thief, and sometimes
an advertisement brings him back. II
Is as often as any other way, however
that the thief succeeds in getting safely
away with his booty. Stolen wheels
are usually sold at half their value OF
less. The problem as to how to dc
away with such thieves Is an annoy

UNDER the apportionment of 1890,
representation in congress was fixed at
356. The admission Of Utah with one
representative made the total 357.
There is strong feeling in favor of
keeping the representation in the house
as closely as possible to 356. 1t is be-
cause Of pretty universal belief that
the membership is already too large. If
it should be decided to stick to the
membership suggested, the apportion-
ment will be in round numbers, one
member for each 100000 inhabitants,
and If 100000 is used as the divisor,
South Carolina will lose, instead of
gain a representative. The total men,
bership Of the house will be Increased
to 359.

THANKSGIVING RABBIT DRIVE.

TheFe Is a big conspiracy on foo,
against the rabbits that infest the hills
and hollows between Yorkville and
Rock Hill. 1t had Its inception Mon
day in telephone communications be.
tween sport-loving young men Of Rock
Hill and Yorkville, and although every.
thing is an embryonic state as yet, the
idea is of sufficient Importance to make
interesting reading.
Ithas been proposed that the Thanks.
giving holiday be made the occasion OF
big rabbit hunt, to be participated ir
by all who care to come from Rock
Hill and Yorkville.' Some young gen.
tlemen of Yorkville are interested; but
they do not care to have their names
mentioned until the proposed undertak'
ing gets into more definite shape.
The general idea Of the proposed hunt
is to interest everybody who wants tc
go. Yorkville sportsmen will muster
all the hunters and dogs possible be-
tween Chester and the North Carolina
line, with the understanding that the
sportsmen representing Rock Hill will
do the same. Each side will organize
It's forces to the best possible advan-
tage, and at o'clock on the morning
Of Thanksgiving Day, there will be q
general advance to a common center
say Tirzah church-to be reached at
about o'clock in the afternoon.
1t Is understood that no guns are to
be allowed. 1t is to be fair and square
dog hunt. Guns will be debarred be-
cause Of the danger of accidents In
such large crowds as are contemplated
All the rabbits caught are to be taken
to the meeting point, where there will
be careful count Of the spoils. After
the count it is proposed that the side
that has met with the best luck, will
take everything that has been caught
by the other side along with it's own.
The owners Of nearly all Of the large
packs Of hounds in this vicinity have
been approached on the subject Of the
proposed hunt on the basis outlined,
and all who have been approached
have signified their willingness to take
part, provided details are settled with
out unnecessary delay. All Of them are
looking forward to a day Of sport for
themselves and dogs, and If this pro-
posed arrangements fails to develop in
to a definite go, they want to make
their arrangements otherwise.
Several prominent citizens of York.
vile and quite number Of ladies have
indicated it as their intention to take
part in the hunt II it comes off. They
all anticipate that the novelty Of the

sALEsDAY.

There was not less than 500 visitors
to Yorkville last Monday-salesday for
November. There may have been as
many as 1000 Anything like an ac-
curate estimate would be difficult to
make offhand.
But 1t was a thoroughly representa-
tive crowd. It was made up of solid,
substantial citizens from every part Of
York county. There Is hardly q neigh
borhood that was not represented. And
there were a number Of ladies, too.
Some came with fathers, husbands or.
brothers, and others came by them
selves-two in buggy. These, Of
course came to shop.
There are old citizens living In York
Vile who remember the time when
salesday in Yorkville meant rowdyisnl
that is inconceivable in these days.
There was a number Of liquor shops
here then. Saturday and Sunday before
salesday 1t was customary for represen-
tatives Of different neighborhoods to.
come to town and deposit in convent
ent places, stout, carefully selected
sticks, or bludgeons for use in expected
emergencies. On the following Mon
day, the rough element would liquor
up" and before noon 1t would be in
just the right humor for head breaking.
1t was not often that anybody was ia
tally hurt; but rough work on sales
days was quite common. Pistols and
knives were seldom used.
All this was long ago. There has
not been much Of 1t since the war; but
comparatively young people can re-
member lots Of >rowdyism in Yorkville
on sales-days. Only few years back,
a sales-day during the fall, winter or
spring, in which there was not more or
less drunkenness, bluster and rowdy-
ism. was the exception.
But there was nothing Of the old time
rowdyism about the crowd last Mon
day. There may have been some whis-
ky here. There may have been some
brought by the visitors. and others
may have found 1t after they reached
Yorkville; but there was not much. At
least it was not much in evidence. A
more quiet, self-respecting crowd Of It's
size has never been seen in Yorkville
on any occasion.

THE COTTON MARKET.

The cotton market has remained
practically at standstill during the
past few days, and reference to the
quotations Of Messrs. Latta Bros, will
show that they are the same as last
Friday. There was no business on the
New York cotton exchange yesterday
on account of the election. Mondays
developments in New York rehearsed
in a dispatch of Monday night are as
follows:
Today's cotton market was small
one with the net results showing no
special significance as the greater por-
tion Of the trade has made its preelec-
ton arrangements before Saturdays
closing, and as the speculative public
In general was averse to assuming new
commitments for the present, there
was nothing in the way Of activity.
On the first call prices eased Off to
points in sympathy with bearish con-
ditions in Liverpool. The irregulartty
was Of short duration, however, as la
ter advices indicated decided i'm
provement abroad in sentiment, the
course Of prices and the volume of
trading. Our market improved after
the opening call and displayed underly-
Ing uTInneSS up u the nOOu HOur.
Light covering and some Of the foreign
buying were prompted by reports from
the South that farmers were refusing
to sell cotton even at higher prices,
while estimates for the weeks forward
movement indicated decided taper
ing of.
Exporters were bidding in competi-
tion with American spinners for addi-
tional supplies, but according to gene
raj accounts were not securing the cot
ton as rapidly as hoped for. January
worked up to 9.10 before the noon hour.
Then a reaction of several points oc-
Cured under estimates for large re-
ceipts tomorrow. Later fluctuations
were limited to bare point or so with
trading practically at standstill. The
market closed barely steady, net
point higher to points lower.

BRYAN's VOTE.
According to the foregoing Mckinley

According to the foregoing Mckinley
has 295 electoral votes to 152 for Bryan.
In the election Of 1896 Mckinley re-
ceived 271 electoral votes to Bryans
176.
At o'clock this morning the follow
ing was received from Columbia: "Re-
ports are slow in coming from Ne
braska. They indicate, however, that
Mckinley will carry the state by
small majority. Fusionists claim the
majority for Bryan. Illinois and New
York are for Mckinley, the latter by
over 100000. Kentucky Is very close;
but leaning toward Bryan. Not half
of the precincts have been heard from.
There is nothing definite from Indiana
except that 1t looks like Mckinley.
There is no question Of the fact that
Mckinley has an easy victory. Fur
ther returns can only determine the ex-
act status of the electoral college,"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-11-07

No, the country is not going to the
demnition bow vows. That Is our
county is not going there. Neither Mr..
Mckinley nor Mr.. Bryan can send it in
any such direction. It Is ours to do as
we please with, and its prosperity or
adversity depends upon US alone.

THE political stagnation, illustrated
by the light vote cast in York county
and throughout the state yesterday,
suggests the necessity for two political
parties in South Carolina. There is no
other remedy for the situation. What
we gain in peace and quiet we lose in
progress.

THE Lee-Odlum Boiler company, of
Memphis, Tennessee, expressed a
world Of wisdom few days ago in the
following to the Manufacturers Rec
ord, Of Baltimore: prosperity Of the
South is commercial, not political, and
absolutely independent of the election.
Neither Mckinley nor Bryan can re-
tard or advance its progress. The
South has neither sectional or selfish
interests in the campaign"

COLUMBIA, S. c., May a7.-State
officials have just brought to light indi-
vidual vouchers showing that the ma
tional government is due this State
$549,OOO for suppliesan transportation
furnished State troops in the several
wars of this country.
The claim for the revolutionary war
IS 316,047, to which is to be added in
terest for over hundred years; which,
with the 1919 war claims S2O2, $50, in
Guiding interest up to 1853, and the
Seminole claim, $4,000, and the Mexi-
can war claims 1892, 182, with no interest,
will make the total aggregating nearly
two million dollars at per cent. in
terest.
The claims were compiled by James
A. Black, agent Of the State, and the
documents found include his report to
the legislature in 1860, and vouches
established tie indisputable evidence
of the claims. The documents were
hidden in the State capital during the
war between the States, and have since
been given US as lost.
Agent Black, in his report to Gov.
Alst0n in 1850, states that the senate
approved the claim by vote of 88 to
10. but the bill failed Of concurrence in
the house as the condition of the cnnn-
try was 80 unsettled. However, the
house committee unanimously reported
favorably.
The national government is making
an attempt to establish claim against
this State for $3.50, 900 for stores seized
at the arsenal in Charleston, by Gov.
Pickens, just at the outbreak of the
war, and other claims, but the States
now established counterclaim willmore
than offset that and even if COM
promise be effected the State should
have to its credit ut least half q mil

An Indiana Editor Thinks 1t is Hypo.
crisy.

If the people of this country have
one distinct, salient, besetting sin, it
is hypocrisy, the basic element Of
which is moral cowardice. Both in
public and private life we arc too in
sincere, save where our greed or van
ity is at stake, and even then we dis
guise our motives. Our insincerity is
conspicuously displayed in our univer-
sal "jollying," for which the national
love Of humor has some responsibility.
The nation and its individuals are
greatly given to saying and doing
things "for polioy's sake"
Our home and educational training
is deeply in fault. We are not clearly
and forcibly to speak the truth for
truths sake, to do good for good 8
sake, but forreasons to which the fore
going are secondary. The evil re-
RRits zamifS sii ths Relations of life.
How many Of us, when directly ap-
pealed to, speak the truth fully and
frankly, when our selfish interests
will be be unfavorably affected? How
many Of us "tell the truth" and
champion the right" when tangible
reward is on the other side? How
easily We cover multitude OF sins Of
commission and omission, with the
soiied and tinseled mantle Of ''for
policy's sake" How ready but how
weak is our defense that our business,
our ambition, our social relations, or
some other sordid interest, may or
will be injured five "do right" under
all circumstances.
