ENGLISH FASHION PLATES.
The American Production Are Much
More Artistic in Drawing

I'VE have just received the latest fashion
plates Of the styles of mems clothes in
, London" said q fashionable Washington
| tailor, land 1 am struck by the marked
improvement in their drawing and general
| appearance.
Discriminating American men of fash
ion must have been impressed by the SUI
! periority of the American plates over those
Of the English. being visibly so in drawing
ccloring, posing and get-up.
Our plates are finely Autographed on
heavy paper. The figures are sketched with
artistic feeling, and the patterns of the
goods they show are drawn with skillful
accuracy. Men Of various ages and de-
grees of corpulency are shown. each at
! tired in the style which is supposed most
to become the men in real life they repre-
sent. All of the plates have backgrounds
| picturesQuely drawn. Here is one showing
the steps Of the Capitol, another Wall
street New York, with Trinity Church in
the distance. and another with several gem
tiemen who are supposed to be descending
the steps of the Waldorf-Astoria- These
backgrounds make the figures appear more
artistic and set them off.
In some OF our plates the features of
the figures are those of men prominent in
public life Here Is one showing the Presi-
dent attired in a frock coat for afternoon
wear, with trousers of neat, small stripe
and wearing silk hat. which is in fact his
regular costume at this hour of the day.
auutnSi bHoWS ScndtOr Cndunccy D3Dew
with four-button cutaway Here is one
with the well-known features and eye
glasses of Gov. Roosevelt attired in a hunt
ing costume.
These figures are appropriate and in good
caste, as they illustrate merely the styles
gentlemen of fashion are to wear. Most of
the faces in the plates are ideal. however
It will be noticed that the figures in our
plates are artistically posed and do not ap-
pear stiff, though their necessarily stand
ing attitude would have a tendency to make
them so.
Now, observe the English plate Nine
out of ten faces have the typical dropping
English guardsman's mustache, such as
our actors affect when taking an English
mans part, and which Dan DAILY displayed
with suen stunning effect in The Roun-
ders. Evidently the mustache is CONNIE II
faut in LONDON. Nearly all of the faces
are those OF young men. Our plates show
the faces Of young men, as q rule, TO be
smooth Observe how stiftiy the figures are
drawn. Also, that ali of the faces look
alike, which Is not the case IN the Ameri-
can plate. and that the men are all very
tall and slender. Our plates display men
OF all heights. girths and ages.
The old English fashion plates were very
poor productions in all respects This one,
however, Is such q marked improvement
and nearer approach to our own thatsI
SIN inclined to the belief that they have
begun TO adopt our meShods-"

The information became public on
Tuesday that Alvord was short in his
accounts to the amount Of $3.50, 1000. It
developed that his peculations had
covered a period Of five or six years,
and that numerous examinations by
the national bank examiners had fall
ed to bring them to light. 1t was not
until October 9, last, that there was
any well-grounded suspicion Of any
thing wrong. Then National Bank
Examiner Hans found discrepancies
that have since footed up to the fig
ures quoted. It has all along been
known that Alvord was a very high
liver; but no one suspected him of dis
honesty. Just how he succeeded in
making away with so much money
without being discovered earlier, has
not been made clear. The bank Is not
badly hurt. A statement made by 1t
on September 5, last, showed: Capt.
tai, s5OO,O0O; surplus, s5,OO0,OOO; undi-
vided profits, s4,114.250; deposits, $685.
997, 1896: demand loans and cash on
hand, $23,379,276; time loans, $5,654. .610,
and stocks and bonds, $20,110, 400. In
the statement the banks total resour-
ces were placed at s52,66S,2s4. At last
accounts, the whereabouts Of Alvord
were unknown. One opinion Is that he
has skipped the country and gone to
South America. His friends are trying
to spread a belief that he has COM
mitted suicide.

THE people of Western York and
Eastern Cherokee, who are being an
noyed by the presence Of Mormon ell
ders, have our deep sympathy. Some
Of the people to whom we refer we
know personally and we'll. Included
among them are some Of the most
earnest, conscientious citizens Of York
county. They are as good men as are
to be found in any county. But we
think they are making a mistake In
using violence toward the Mormon ell
ders. Among these elders there are no
doubt many humbugs and scoundrels.
Most Of them would probably come
under these heads. Such Is our opin-
ion. Among them, however, are many
who are filled with zeal for their So
called religion that they honestly be-
lieve Is holy. All of them left Utah
with the understanding that they were
to undergo hardships, persecution and
even death. For one of them to fail
in what the authorities at home would
consider to be his duty, would be to
make him an outcast forever. All pro-
fess to believe, and some sincerely be-
lieve, that persecution adds to their
exaltation in this life and the life to
come, and that to lose their life on ac-
count Of their religion means their i'm

THE general election takes place
next Tuesday week. So far as appear
ances go, there is but little interest in
the event. There seems to be nothing
that requires especial interest. The
constitutional amendment questions
are important, and every good citizen
should express himself on these ques-
tions. If there Is large vote we will
be agreeably surprised. But still a
large vote is important. The race
question Is again looming up strong
ly. Northern Republicans are anxious
to cut down our representation be"
cause Of our refusal to allow the Negro
to vote his full numerical strength.
They draw their arguments and con-
clusions not from the censuns returns,
but from the general election returns.
So far as the public outside Of South
Carolina Is concerned, our primaries
count for nothing. These are not un-
derstood. 1t Is the general election
figures that are held up against US.
Therefore, let every voter throughout
this section go to the polls on election
day and cast his ballot.

State Chairman Jones Calls Upon Everybody
to Vote.

State Chairman Jones Calls Upon Everybody
to Vote.
Colonel Willie Jones, chairman of the
state executive committee, has issued
the following:
'ro the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina:
In view Of the present apathy which
seems to exist among the Democrats
of this state as to voting at the gene
raj election, I feel it to be my duty as
your chairman to address you in this
public manner and urge that you all
come out on November 9Th and cast
your votes for the Democratic ticket
from president to coroner. Our people
have gotten into the way of thinking
that when they cast their votes in the
primary there is no further use to vote.
But this Is a very dangerous policy
to pursue and may result In great
harm to our state. Our state and
county tickets are safe, as the Repub-
licans have put up no opposition at all.
The Republicans have an electoral
ticket in the field composed mostly Of
Negroes, and they have a candidate in
every congressional district in this
state, hoping to have their candidates
seated by a Republican house. Let
every Democratic voter come out and
vote for the Democratic nominees in
his district and elect them by such an
overwhelming majority tnat not even
a Republican house would dare unseat
them or even consider contest.
The Democrats of this nation have

and most brilliant men this country

THE COTTON MARKET.

Local cotton receipts continue light
on account Of the price. The average
sales in Yorkville this week have not
footed up rs bales daily. The receipts
are larger'than that; but a great deal
of the cotton that is coming in Is being
warehoused. Instead Of improving on
the New York exchange, the price of
cotton continues on a gradual decline.
The history Of Thursdays develop
ments is given in market dispatch of
Thursday night as follows:
The market for cotton opened steady
at decline Of 2@9 points, cables be-
ing disappointing, and the average OF
crop news and other outside influences
being also bearish. After further de-
cline Of 2@3 points, however, the mar
ket made a sharp turn and advanced
rapidly. From the lowest to the high
est point of the session the improve
ment was a matter of 1902 points
with January reacting to 8.97 when the
market again turned weak. January
sold down to $685. and the rest Of the
market eased off in proportion. The
entire trade appeared to be very much
confused and made new ventures with
the greatest caution. From the lowest
to the closing prices there was an ad-
vance Of 11@1S points with the market
finally steady at a net advance Of 6@12
points. The short interest was largely
governed by fears of frost. So far as
the weather bulletins were concerned
however, there was nothing to excite
fears on this account, beyond the fact
that in the center Of the cotton belt g.
cold wave was reported forming. The
receipts continued heavy, although es-
Inmates were inclined to smaller fig
ures. The momentum Of the late heavy
movement was so great, nevertheless.
that most Of the Southern markets
were lower.

OPPOSED TO WHITE TEACHERS.
CoIored Preachers Fear a Condition Of Which
They Are Afraid,

The following resolutions were
adopted by the ministers Of the York
vile District Of the A. M. E. Zion
Whereas, There is a movement on
foot to put white teachers in Negro
public schools to teach Negro children,
and
Whereas, We favor white teachers
for white children, and Negro teachers
for Negro children, and are not will
ing to accept anything else; and
Whereas, We have now about $4,000
Negro teachers in the United States
that are capable Of giving that "cer-
tain kind or training" that the super
intendent Of education Of the state Of
South Carolina Is so solicitous about,
or any other kind that is worth the
Negroes having, or that would be con-
ducive to the continuation of our pres
ent progress, and whereas the progress
years Is not due to the instruction Of
white teachers, but can easily be
traced back to the humble efforts Of
black men and black women in the
scnool room teaching black children,
though not so numerous and not so
we'll prepared as they are now, and
Whereas, We regard the aforesaid
contemplated action as bias and dan
gerous to the social quietude Of the
state, and calculated to create an un-
rest among Negroes heretofore unpar-
alleled in history, and
Whereas, We do not want our boys
associated with white girls In any ca
pacity, nor our girls with white boys,
therefore.
Be it resolved, That we, the minis
ters Of the Yorkville District Of the A.
M. E. Zion church, in conference as
sembled, seal the contemplated action
with our eternal condemnation and
call upon-and we do hereby call upon
the right thinking element Of both
races to enter their bitter protest
against this pending evil which can
not terminate into anything condu-
Give to peace and harmony between
the race or profitable to the state.
Resolved I'd. That coDy of these
resolutions be sent to The State, News
and Courier, Rock Hill Messenger and

AFTER THE MORMONS.

The people Of Western York and
Eastern Cherokee, are giving the Nor
mon elders, who are operating in that
section, quite a lively time Of it. OF
late, several Mormons have been whip
ped severely by crowds Of disguised
citizens, and the elders generally have
been given to understand that they
cannot establish themselves in the
neighborhood peaceably. ..-
The "coaling ground" section of
Cherokee county, as far east as Kings
Creek in this county, has, for quite a
number Of years, been an inviting
field for the elders. There Is great
deal of ignorance and immortality in
the neighborhood, and as far back as
II or Is years ago. the Mormons sue
ceeded in getting quite a foothold, OF
late, the elders have become much
more enterprising and energetic than
previously, and, as a consequence,
many leading citizens of the vicinity
have become aroused to active oppo-
sition.
