In the midst of the peroration Of his
speech, Polygamist Roberts declared:
you can neither exclude nor expel me. l
will cling so hard to the pillars of liberty
that you shall not drag me from them
without bringing down the whole tenn
pie" In the light Of subsequent events, It
would appear that Roberts had failed to
get Standardization around the pillars
with arms and legs. He has not only been
dragged, but fired. And the temple has
not fallen yet.

The New York Mail and Express. an ul-
tra-Republican journal, says: There is
little or no hope for the passage of the
anti-lynching bill now pending in the
House. Southern sentiment regarding the
measure is eXpresslbe in two words
Hang it, Southern sentiment has moth
ing to do with the matter The Republic
can party, which is practically to say the
Northern and Western sections Of the
country, is in control of Congress, and
can do as it pleases. But Congress will
not pass the bill in question, because the
national government has nothing to do
with the punishment of such crimes Of
violence as lynchings. Meantime. It may
be stated for about the ten thousandth
time that Southern sentiment" is lust
as much opposed to lynching as Northern
or Western sentiment.

THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.

Pending in Congress is a bill to reclass-
ify and reorganize the railway mail SER
vice. It is proposed that under the re-
organization there shall be ten classes of
employees, ranging in pay from $500 10 $1,000
per year. This would involve a slight in
crease in the expenses of the service
would provide a line of promotion for
merit, and give the clerks a little better
pay than they are getting. The increas-
ed expense, so far as we are able to see,
is the only legitimate objection that can
be brought against the bill. But, in that
respect, it may be stated that the addi-
tional sum that would be necessary to
carry the bill into effect is comparatively
small, while the benefits to be derived
through the Improvement of the service
that would follow would be very great
1t will probably surprise a great many
business men, and others to know that
the railway mail service is operated now
under virtually the same plan that gov
erned it fifteen years ago. The amount
of business handled in the railway mail
cars during that time has expanded enor-
mously, and a greater number of men,
necessarily, is required to attend 90 that
business. But the plan of organization
of the service has not expanded in the
same ratio with the growth of the BUSH
ness. The men have simply been required
70 work harder, and take more risks and
responsibilities, without any corresponding
increase in compensation. And it is great
ly to the credit of the railway mail men
that they have brought, the service up to
such a high state of efficiency under cir
cumstances so difficult.
The salaries it is proposed TO pay the
men are moderate, when it is taken into
consideration that the work they perform
is not only hard and dangerous, but that
IL requires a high order of manual skill
and a good deal of mental ability. The
man who has the qualifications for max
ing a good railway mail clerk-and he
must have those qualifications, or he can
not retain the jobs capable of earning
even more than it is proposed that the
government shall pay him.
The bill has the Endorsement of the
Postmaster General the heads of depart
ments that come into relations with the
railway mail service, and business men
and newspapers all over the country. It
ought to be passed a this session of Con-
gless, because it is meritorious and the
railway mail boys" have waited long
enough for appreciative recognition.

The California Legislature will meet in
extra session next Monday for the pur-
pose Of electing a United States senator
which II failed to do at its regular ses-
sion There was a deadlock between the
supporters of D. NJ Burns, a millionaire
mine owner, and L. S. Grant. Jr., with
Inc balance of power divided between
other candidates. The understanding now
is that Burns will be elected and that
Grant viii be provided with some Office
Which' II not equally as good" will be
satisfactory to him. The call for an ex-
ira session and the arrangement by which
Burns Is to nave the election is said to
nave been brought about by the political
managers of President Mckinley for the
purpose of healing the breach in the Cali
fornia Republican party, in anticipation
OF the convention and the election.

which he will do next November by vot-

THE statements in the newspapers
are so numerous and conflicting just
now, that we are unable to arrive at
anything like satisfactory conclusion
as to the situation in China. May
be the state department has full
grasp of all that is going on; but few
outside are able to spot the truth, even
if they see it, For some days there
has been contention as to the proper
measure Of punishment to be meted out
to Prince Tuan and other instigators Of
the uprising. Germany, Great Britain,
Austria and Italy, have apparently
been insisting on death, while the
United States, Russia, France and ia
pan appear to be in favor of some mild
er remedy-banishmen Imprisonment,
deprivation of rank or the like. While
the negotiations are in progress, Ger
many and Russia, each appear to be
especially anxious in the further push
ing of their respective interests, and
both are constantly doing something
to add to the uneasiness and general
lack of confidence that exists among
all the powers. Advices from Wash
ington continue to indicate that the
trouble will be finally settled without
serious friction; but up to this time
the general public has not become
satisfied sharsr of such a belief.

ANOTHER ENLARGEMENT.

The reporter is informed on authority
that he deems reliable, that the York
Cotton Mill people are seriously consid-
ering the idea of another extensive ad-
dition to their already large plant.
The story is that the capital stock Is
to be increased to something like $780,
900 or $4OO,O 900, and that the 10000 spin
dies now in operation are to be increas-
ed 20 10000. There will be no looms;
but with the proposed addition Of spin
dies the mill will be the largest exclu-
sively spinning mill in the South.
According to the information that
comes to the reporter, Mr.. w. N. Ashe
has agreed to furnish all the brick that
may be necessary at competitive prices,
and take his pay in stock; and another
gentleman has agreed to furnish the
lumber on the same terms. The fact
that the mill has already paid it's stock
holders more than so per cent. in three
years, seems to promise that there will
be no trouble in raising all the addi-
tional cash that may be necessary. 1t
Is said Of this mill, and 1t Is fact, that
there has never been a time when
stockholders were unable to sell at a
big profit.

Mr.. McClain Is getting inquiries of
prospective new customers. The new
dynamo Is said to be the very best
made. 1t has an actual capacity
as great as was claimed for the old
dynamo, and according to Mr.. Duval,
there is no possibility Of it's getting out
Of order except through lightning, and
1t is so we'll protected that there Is but
little danger even there. The dynamo
worked very smoothly the first night;
but showed one or two defects in ad-
iustment. These were corrected on
Wednesday and Thursday, and 1t is
thought now that there will be no
more trouble. The one thing needful
at this time appears to be liberal and
generous patronage along business
lines. Mr.. McClain has spent lots Of
money in his efforts to give the peo-
pie of the town the best light to be
had, and he Is deserving Of the most
hearty support. Without his enter
prise it might have been 20 years yet
before Yorkville would have gotten
electric lights.

A CORNER In CORN.

A remarkable corner in corn was the
feature of the operations of the past
week or ten days on the Chicago board
Of trade. 1t was being manipulated by
young speculator named George H.
Phillips.
1t seems that Il CONCERTED bull move
ment was started several weeks ago,
and it succeeded to the extent Of de-
pleting the contract STOCKS of corn in
Chicago. 1t was then that Phillips
dipped in and begun the manipulation
of a corner which is said to be unique
in many of it's features.
1t was not until after Philips had
bought more than 100000 bushels of
November corn at SO cents, that the

JUDGING from the daily scraps of
news from South Africa, it would seem
that the British still lack a great deal
of having conquered the Beers. The
Beers continue to operate in formida-
BILE detachments and keep the entire
British army busy. 1t is estimated
that the British expenses amount to
IS, ,OOO,OOO a week, and the taxpayers at
home are getting very tired of the
drain. A dispatch of few days ago
says that it has been decided to equip
the army with $4,000 more mules and
horses to facilitate the police work, and
that these animals will have to be pur-
chased in the United States within the
next few months. General DeWet and
ex-President Stein, of the Orange Free
State, are at the head of the Boer

wheat Is larger than it has ever been
before; and, Furthermore, that If no
serious misfortunes develop, the yield
per acre will exceed anything that has
been known in the past. This latter
assumption Is made in the belief that
the preparation Of the land has been
more thorough than ever before, and
more fertilizers have been used.
The fact that the acreage shows an
increase this year over last, in spite OF
the comparatively high price of cotton,
has been the occasion Of no little sur
prise to many people; but on little re-
Election all surprise will be removed.
Farmers, as a rule, are like other
people in doing not as they would like
to do; but as they can. Wheat grow
ing had dropped out Of vogue to such
an extent, as to make seed wheat
scarce in this country and out of reach
Of practically all except those who can
always command more or less ready
cash, or who have been persistently fol-
lowing the custom of sowing enough
wheat to supply their own needs and
leave over a surplus for seed.
The big crop Of last summer made
seed plentiful. The farmers who sowed
heavily last fall, not only had plenty
Of seed for themselves; but they had
seed to sell for cash, and to let out in
accordance with the usual rule-one
bushel now for five pecks next summer
The fact that wheat growing last year
paid, and the fact that seed was easy
to get this fall, naturally induced the
present large acreage.
The present situation, especially with
regard to wheat Is such as to give un-
bounded pleasure to those people who
have their hearts set on the general
prosperity Of this section. An abund-
ance Of bread at home means that
much less is to be bought from the
Northwest. The money that would
otherwise have been sent out Of the
country for bread, can and will be di-
verted to other purposes. A surplus
Of wheat will bring ready money. Good
wheat crops ought to be followed by
good crops of hay, and will be so fol-
lowed if the matter gets proper atten-
ton, and good crops Of hay ought to
be followed by more cattle for both
beef and dairy purposes. All Of these
things contribute to greater industry
and more general prosperity, and that
is the end for which all Of us should
strive.

CIRCUIT COURT.

The fall term Of the circuit court
for York county adjourned last Tues
day evening at about o'clock, and
Judge Klugh got away on the $40
Carolina and North Western train.
Quite a number of law cases were
heard during Monday and Tuesday.
But very few of them were Of especial
public interest. One Of the most i'm
portant was that Of the National Union
Bank of Rock Hill, involving the val
idity Of certain pay-certificates issued
by school trustees on account Of Evans
school charts. Judge Klugh did not
decide the matter here; but took the
papers away for further consideration.
Judge Klugh made good impression
on the York bar. All the members are
inclined to give him credit for being
able, patient, considerate and impair
tial. He has no favorites.

INCLUDING civil and criminal, there
were only six cases during the recent
term of the circuit court that would
have been beyond the jurisdiction of a
county court Cases within the juris-
diction of a county court consumed
about 10 Of the IA days Of the cir
cult court was in session. The expenses
Of court run largely "by the day." and
this may be taken as giving an idea OF
the comparative expense. The daily ex-
pense of a county court would not be
anything like as great as that of a cir
cult court. But instead Oh the estab-
lishment of county courts, the tenden-
cy is to increase the expense Of circuit
courts by adding more judges.
