One Sided People.

Vigorous thought, apt illustration
and abounding humor were the char
of the lecture delivered by
Rev James Montgomery, of Minre-
apolis, at the Methodist church on
Wednesday evening. His subject
was Zone Sided People" and he
showed both the good and the worth
less sides of one-sidedness. A per-
son should be many sided in his SYM
pathies and impressions but in his
purposes one-sided. The lecture was
delivered in quite a dramatic style
and listened to with interest through

Village Officials.

The new council held meeting on

good one and one that will give gen
eral satisfaction.
On Wednesday evening the coun-
Gil met again and reelected r. E
Smith as village attorney and Thos
Callahan as superintendent of the
waterworks. After some discussion
the council adjourned subject to the

Goes to a Larger Field.

1t is with regret that the people of
Hancock will hear of the call of Rev.
George Searles to a larger field at
Columbus, Montana. During the
three years he has been in Hancock
he has been well supported n his
Christian work there and has won
for himself place in the hearts of
the people. He is we'll known here in
Morris too and while we will regret
his departure from this county, we
will nevertheless wish him God speed
in his departure for his new field of
work.

FINANCIAL. STATEMENT.
Treasurer Larson's Report to the
Outgoing Council.

Following is the financial statement
of the receipts and disbursements
from the treasury of the village of
Morris during the fiscal year ending g
March 17tb, as reported to the coun-
Gil by Treasurer Larson.
The report shows large floating
ind ebtedness which it will be the
duty of new council to reduce. This
was largely caused, as the report
shows, by the interest on waterworks
bonds and miscellaneous odds and
ends connected with putting in the
system.

ELECTION NEWS.

It Is our desire to give in next Wed
nesday's ENQUIRER satisfactory re-
port from Tuesdays election through
out the country, and If any Of the daily
newspapers are able to state definitely
as early as o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, whether Bryan or Mckinley wins,
we expect to be able to do the same.
Our arrangements, however. have not
yet been perfected. 1t Is possible that
we may be disappointed, and for that
reason we will not, at this time, make
any positive promises. However, In
order that our subscribers may know
what to depend upon, we will say this:
If it should develop at the last min
ute that the local telegraph facilities
are not available-that the office can
not be kept open during Tuesday night
we will go to press as usual on Tues
day afternoon, and will, Of course, have
no news from the election. The news
will not have developed by that time.
If, on the other hand, our subscribers
fail to get their papers at the usual
time on Tuesday afternoon and night,
they may take it that arrangements
have been perfected and that when
their papers do come out early Wed
nesday morning, they will have as
complete news as to what occurred on
the day before as they will find in the
morning papers Of the same day.
In the event that the paper Is held
back on account Of the election, local
and those living along the

tension and the southern portion Of the

the first letter. issued by the commit
tee. This second letter has been pre-
pared and will be mailed Immediately.
It Is stated that Southern mills repre-
senting about 100000 spindles, produc-
ing hard yarns for the market, have al
ready signified their approval of the
work of the committee on concentra-
ton of the selling part of the business,
and it will be necessary to secure only
about 100000 additional spindles In or
der to put the scheme into effect. IT
is intended that new arrangement shall
save the Southern spinners about
$500, 900 annually in commissions, be-
sides serving to eliminate the specula-
tive feature which is indulged In by
number of Northern yarn commission
merchants, and which it Is said has
proven disastrous to the interests or
the Southern cotton yarn manufactu-
rer.

council. 1t is to be hoped that the
shady side of the carnival was not as
dark as has been painted by those who
were there; but there is no doubt that
there Is considerable room for improve
ment, should the Spartans decide to
have another carnival next fall.
Several weeks ago, paragraph was
published in THE ENQUIRER to the ef-
feet that fight was on between the
two oil mills here, and that as result
they were furnishing the bagging and
ties and ginning cotton at 30 cents a
bale and that both concerns were pay
ing 80 cents bushel for cotton seed.
The war is now over, and the former
enemies are friends. AS a result the
farmer is paying 81 a bale to have his
cotton ginned and selling his seed at
26 cents a bushel. He is not having as
much ginned as under the old price, for
the reason that he hasn't got 1t to gin.
and Is not selling seed so freely for the
same reason. The oil mill people, both
in and out Of the trust, had meeting
in Columbia last week and came to an
understanding which resulted in the re-
adjustment of prices all round. Under
the arrangement each mill Is to have
certain territory and the same price Is
to be paid by all.
One of the mills here belongs to the
trust and the other does not. 1t Is said
that few days before the war ended
the trust mill offered the outside mill
~
bushel. The offer was accepted ana
the seed delivered and paid for. With
in a week the new arrangement was
perfected and the price of seed dropped
6 cents q bushel. SAM M. GRlsT.

THE COTTON MARKET.

The local cotton receipts continue
light, averaging only something like Is
or 20 bales daily. On the New York

tracts closed at 1856. The story Of the
days doings as told in press dispatch
Monday night, Is as follows:
Speculation in cotton futures today
was light and traders gave the bulk OF
their attention to Strengthening up old
accounts. The news in hand on the
call was conflicting, with the bears,
however, having rather the better po-
sition. In Saturdays advance here

was put forth to arrest the course of
the market, and at best speculation

with the professional element in con-

much larger receipts tomorrow at New
Orleans and Houston, gave the market
another setback, while the weather
forecast later proved equally effective
in bringing about still lower prices.
Throughout the late afternoon 1t was
anybody's market, and small one at
that. Prices were down to about the
low level of the session with the market

in the absence of support from the

the Democrats, as a rule. have been
successful. If, on the other hand, the
weather is dry, the Republicans have
carried the day.
1.-The cause for this apparently pecu-
liar state of affairs can very easily be
ascertained. If it rains the country
roads are in bad condition, and the
farmer, who Is mostly Republican, and
may be afflicted with rheumatism and
troubled with a carbuncle on his neck
besides, will, rather than jeopardize his
health and personal comfort, sacrifice
his vote. In the cities, where most of
the Democrats live, climatic conditions
do not affect attendance at the polls
to such an extent, and the result Is
that good weather Is favorable to the
Republicans and bad weather to the
Democrats

WITH THE TAX COLLECTOR.

b Treasurer Nicely was in Yorkville
yesterday, his appointment for that
day having been arranged because Of
his presence being required at the
drawing Of the. Jury. -.-4.,.-., -.
So far he has visited the following
points: Antioch, McConneIlsville, Bull
locks Creek, Sharon. Newport, Tirzah,
Forest Hill, Bethel, Glover and Beth,
any.
Asked as to how he was getting
along with tax collections, Mr.. Neely
said that the work is rather slow. He
thinks that at most points the receipts
have been slightly IN excess Of those
Of last year; but the difference is very
slight.
I'll tell you though" Mr.. Nicely said,
there is one thing about which there
is going to be a great deal of, disap-
pointment, and that is the amount Of.
cotton in the county. There are many
people who have an idea that there is
a considerable amount Of cotton be-
ing held back. II that is fact, there
is not much to be seen about the homes
Of the holders. And there is precious
little in the fields, too. think there is
a mistaken impression about the
amount still to come into sight" =
Another thing that Mr.. Neely noticed,
was the fact tnat the people seemed to
be very little concerned about the
probable outcome Of next Tuesdays
election. Occasionally, someone would
venture an Indifferent query as to
whether Bryan or Mckinley would be
elected; but that was about the extent
Of the apparent interest.
Tax collections here yesterday were
light. The treasurer left yesterday af-
ternoon for Smyrna, to be there today.
He will be at Hickory Grove tomorrow
and Friday and will return to Yorkville
Saturday morning.

YoRK,s HONEY KING.

Mr.. H. C. Simpson. of Catawba juno
tion, was in Yorkville for few hours
on last Saturday. He came TO attend
to certain legal business in the probate
office, and while here paid THE ENoUI-
RER pleasant visit. 20
Mr.. Simpson, as most Of our readers
are aware, is a scientific bee culturist,
and probably has the most extensive
apiaries to be found in the state. It is
probable, too, that his knowledge of
bees Is as thorough and complete as
any other student Of this interesting
insect in the South. This knowledge
is not merely a collection Of the theo-.
ries and traditions Of amateur bee.
|raisers. 1t is the result Of years Of in,
vestigation and scientific research, and
as complete in technical and practical
detail as could be expected Of learned
college professor. When he says such
and such thing. about the bee or its
habits 1t Is SO, and when he says he
does not know, the inquirer has opened.
up a new line Of investigation that is
likely to lead into unexplored and puz-
zling fields.
Mr.. Simpson says the honey crop
during the past spring and summer
has been unusually good; but this falls
crop Is poor. This years honey crop
was made principally from poplar
blooms, honey-dew and cotton blooms.
and Is of very good quality; but not
quite so good as that which Is made ex-
clusively from the aster weed. The
yield Of honey at the first taking was
4,vvO pounds from 80 colonies; an aver
age of As pounds from the colony.
This, Mr.. Simpson says, is the second
best year he has ever had. The fall
yield from the aster weed, however,
promises to be light-not more than
two or three pounds from the colony.
In the course of the conversation,
Mr.. Simpson said that he had gotten
another queen from Italy last month.
She came from north central Italy, cost
$3.50, and is of the purest possible
strain, so he has reason to believe; but
as to whether she will give satisfaction
he will not be able to tell until next
spring. In times past Mr.. Simpson has
imported a number Of queens.
Mr.. Simpsons honey crop usually re-
tails at 10 cents pound. Most OF 1t fs
sold in Rock Hill, and generally 1t Is
pounced down upon by consumers as
soon as 1t gets on the market.
