YORKVILLE, s. G. !:
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1900.

- There was a proposition in the
senate the other day to establish a
fertilizer factory in the penitentiary in
order that fertilizers might be sold tc
the farmers at cost. 1t required only
a small amount of discussion to prove
to those senator's who did not already
see the impractibility of the idea, that
the scheme would not work. Along
with the manufacturing of fertilizers,
of course, there would have to be pro
vided a system for their distribution
among the farmers. This would mean
schedule of cash prices and time
prices, notes, liens, chattel mortgages,
the risks of bad crops, and all the
hazards of business generally. In
fact the matter involved such long
stride toward socialism that the sena-
tors wisely hesitated before taking it.

selves to help pay expenses of teachers
attending summer schools, principally
for the reason that such teachers, after
getting the benefit of the summer
schools at the expense of the district,
might take employment in another dis
trict. We endorse the summer school
idea, however, for we believe it to be
a good thing, and in fixing the salary
of teacher we are disposed to take
previous attendance on the summer
school into due consideration. The
vote on this question, with the modIf-
cation indicated, was unanimous.
Asked as to "What they thought of
a proposition to make the term of
the superintendent of education four
years instead of two?" the trustees,
by vote of 10 to 8, expressed them
selves as opposed to any change. The
only argument offered in the discus
sion was that under the present ar
rangement good superintendent Of
education may be retained in Office,
while poor one is kept within easy
reach for removal.
Mr.. Miller asked for statement of
the law with reference to the right of
the children of one school district at
tending school in another school dis
trict, and Mr.. Carroll gave it about as
follows: "The law presumes that
children will attend school in the dis.
tricts in which they reside. They are
not allowed to cross school district
lines except by the express consent of
the trustees of both districts interest
ed. If board of trustees serves me
with list of pupils belonging il one
school district but attending school in
another, and protests against the en-
rollment of these pupils to the credit
of the adjoining district, then 1 must
be governed by the protest. Trustees
have a right to prevent pupils from
coming into their districts from out
side districts, and it is pretty safe to
say that there are few instances where
children living in one district are well
come to attend school in another un-
less their attendance is accompanied
by their per capita"
The question of asking the state
board of education to restore Web
ster's Blue Back speller to the list of
books authorized for use in the COM
mon schools developed some discus
sion, and resolution to that effect
was adopted by vote of ~ to 5.
There being no further business, on
motion of Mr.. R. w. Whitesides, the
meeting adjourned.

the situation is not creditable to the
state.
In spite of the claim that the COM
petition was fair, it was not fair or
even just. Whatever may have been
the motives Of the city of Rock Hill in
making such a heavy donation to Sc
cure the establishment of the school,
that city today is bearing, for the ben
eft of the whole state, burden that
is far out of proportion to its just
share. 1t is burden that properly
belongs to the whole state, and how
ever creditable it may be to Rock Hill
10 bear the burden, it is not creditable
10 the balance of the state to let her
bear it.
And for the state now to assume
this debt would be no injustice to the
other enterprising cities-Chester and
Spartanburg-which entered the orig
inal competition. Neither would there
be any injury. As already pointed
out, the competition was unquestiona'
bly, in the best of good faith. There
is no room for hint Of anything to
the contrary. The additional burden
upon the other towns would he so
slight as to hardly be noticeable, and
we cannot believe that they would be
so ungenerous as to think of raising an
objection. Then what is to prevent
the legislature from doing the right
thing even at this late day, in taking
the burden of a state institution of
the few individuals who have been
bearing it gladly and uncomplainingly,
and placing that burden where it be-
longs, on all the people who are re-
ceiving the benefit from it9

+ TURNING, ON THE LIGHT.

after hard days work Wednesday
with a special view to gratifying the
desles of those electric light custo-
mers who were anxious to get prac-
tical demonstration of the quality of
the illumination they were to expect
from their incandesceDt lamps, Elec-
trician Duval succeeded in getting
things in readiness for turning on the
current Wednesday night.
The effect was literally "electrical."
Although the initial illumination came
before daylight had departed, every
customer realized on the instant that
the lights were of superior quality
full Is candle power-and equal to
any they had ever seen anywhere.
As darkness came on this opinion was
fully confirmed, and now there is not
a single doubt in the town except
maybe, those who, unaware OF the
capacity of the dynamo that furnishes
the current, fear that when all the
public and private lights to be con-
tracted for are on, they will necessari-
" be less brilliant. But from the as
surances of those best acquainted with
the capacity of Mr.. McClain's plant,
it seems that this is a question about
which there should be no worry until
it actually develops. Il
The reporter made round of the
lights burning Wednesday night to see
what they looked like. He found
great many other people doing the
same thing, and was, consequently, at
no loss for assistance in observing the
general effects of the innovation. 1t
was only the buildings on that section
of Congress street from the Liberty
street crossing to THE ENQUIRER Of
fee, that were included in the illumi-
nation. This was as far as the wiring
had proceeded up to that time; but
there was sufficient variety of condi-
tions to make satisfactory showing.
The most brilliant effect was to be
noted in the big storeroom of the
Ganson Dry Goods company. In this
room there are 26 incandescent lights,
all burning brilliantly. Distributed
as the lamps are down four counters
and over the clothing department in
the rear end, it is no exaggeration to
say that there is now more light in the
room at night than there is in day.
time. Those who will now make the
comparison will find the difference de-
cidedly in favor of the night.
1t is about the same in the store
room of Mr.. H. q. Strauss across the
way. The room is not so large, nor
are the lights so close together; but
still the effect is most satisfactory.
Night shoppers may now examine
goods in any part of the store with as
much confidence as in daytime.
The York Drug Store and MIR. T. W.
Speck, the jeweler, have gone in for
novelties the first thing. Mr.. Speck
has caused pink light to be placed in
each of his show windows, and DR..

Sheriff SHUTS Takes c. A. McKern
Down for Is Months.

Down Tor . N1OntnHs
c. A. McKern was taken to the pen
itentiary today by Sheriff Suits, where
he will serve the state for eighteen
months on the charge of embezzlement
to which he plead guilty last month.
McKern was granted stay of judg-
ment for three weeks pending settle
ment with Tisdale Bros, wholesale
grocers of this city, from whom the
money was taken. McKern was in the
employ of Tisdale Bros. as travelling
man. A shortage was discovered in
his collection, which upon investiga-
ton, was found to amount to about
$3.50. He was given a chance TO re-
turn the money but instead went to
the Pacific coast where he was located.
Sheriff Suits went after him and
found him in small town in Califor-
mia. He was brought to Ottumwa in
the winter and at the March term of
court plead guilty. He employed w.
A. Work to defend him but at last it
was decided to plead guilty which was
done. n petition was secured from Nc
kern's old home in Missouri, signed by
his friends testifying to his previous
good character, which had weight with
the court. 1t was thought that a set
Element of the difficulty could be made

was passed that he be held three
weeks. McKern evidently got tired of
waiting and expressed desire TO com

with that wish Sheriff Suits took

A BRANCH OF A BIG CASE.
Motion for New Trial in a $4,000
Damage Case Being Heard Today.

This afternoon Judged Roberts is en-
gagged in hearing the plaintiffs motion
for a new trial in the case:o John A.
Holmes, administrator of the estate of
Glen Holmes VS.. the Rock Island rail-
way company, in which case verdict
for the railroad coanpany~was recently
rendered in the Van Buren, county dis
trict court. w. NJ. Walker, of Keosau>
qua, is attorney for the administrator
and j. c. Mitchell, of this city, for the
company.
While returning from the Keosau-
qua fair last fall Glen Holmes, a young
man who resided near Bonaparte, was
killed in some manner short distance
above Bentonsport, it is supposed by
falling from Rock Island passenger
train. The accident happened at or
near a bridge and it seems that but one
person knew of it ard he neglected to
inform the trainmen until Bentonsport
was reached, alleging that he was too
scared to do so. An administrator was
appointed for the estate and suit COM
menced for 100000 against the railway
company. The plaintiff claimed that
the railway company was negligent,
but on the trial of the case verdict
was rendered for the defendant short
time ago. BY agreement Judge Rob-
erts is hearing the motion for new
trial this afternoon in vacation.

Jefferson County Man Accused of At.
tempting Rape.

schpAAuS AAape.
Mt. Pleasant, June Clayton Hook
EFT was brought before Justice Van
Beck, in this city, yesterday morning
on the charge of rape. He was arrest
ed at his home south of the river early
yesterday morning by Sheriff Putnam.
1t is said that the alleged rape took
place yesterday forenoon. The party
involved is the 14-year-old daughter. of
Alfred Trueblood, of Tippecanoe town
ship. The girl, Miss Lurie Trueblood,
had been over to Nathan Hockett's,
where she had been staying overnight,
the two families being related. Yes
terday forenoon Clayton Hockett hitch
ed up his buggy and took her home.
1t is charged that he made detour
thru wooded field on the way home
where the ruin of the girl was accom-
plished.
The trial was not held yesterday, but
was set for next Friday morning at Q
o'clock before Justice Van Beck. Mr..
Van Beck fixed his bonds at $1,000,
which is rather large but considering
the seriousness of the charge it was
thought best to make the bond about
that amount. Clayton's uncle, John
Hockett, went on his bond, and the ac-
cused in the meantime is released.
While none of the evidence has been
taken in court yet it is pretty well un-
derstood that Mr.. Hockett will enter a
plea of not guilty and will fight the
case.
The accused party is well known in
the county and is the same man who
was acquitted few years ago when
tried for the murder of Alb Mcdowell.
