HORSES FOR THE BRITISH ARMY
In giving an account of the energetic
efforts that the British army is making
to supply Lord Roberts with horses,
the London Daily News says:
As a matter of fact, there is not a
country in Europe whence horses are
not being constantly shipped to South
Africa direct by war office agents, who
are equally as busy and successful in
South Africa. Quite 500 horses daily
must have been shipped from these
foreign shores, so the aggregate must
now be enormous. Only the other
day casual English visitor to Trieste
found 5,OOO.ton steamer on the point
of sailing with a full cargo of Hun
gariau horses. He ascertained that
several steamers, similarly loaded, had
left during the preceding fortnight.
Italy has supplied so many mules
that the war department in Rome is
actually worrying over the prospect of
a shortage of transport animals for her
own army in the event of an emergen-
cy; but the prices paid by British
agents are so generous that the gov
ernment is afraid to incur the unpop-
ularity which would result from any
attempt to check the golden stream.
Even Turkey has been tapped to con,
siderable advantage, while the native
Indian princes have supplied at their
own cost not less than 5000 animals.
Had all this energy been shown earlier
General Roberts might now be nearer
Pretoria.

Inhumanity to Convicts.

" SohsiStos
In the Abbeville correspondence of
the Greenville News there is an ex
preston that is of interest at this time,
in view of the effort to make certain
changes at the state penitentiary.
The statement reads: The Hon. Will
liam c. Mann, penitentiary director, is
at home from an inspecting tour of the
penitentiary and all the camps. He
says everything connected with the
institution is in first rate shape, except
as to the care of the convicts in their
quarters at the penitentary, and their
treatment there in that particular has
been nothing short of inhuman. There
is absolutely no way of heating the
buildings, and in summer there is next
to no ventilation for the poor unfortu-
mates. Captain Mann says the present
board will certainly remedy this trou-
BILE at once and see that the convicts
do not suffer during winter and sum-
mer. He expresses surprise that there
is not more consumption.

Two NEW POSTAL DIVISIONS
Says Washington dispatch of Sun.
day: The rural free delivery system
of the postoffice department has grown
to such proportions that it has been
found necessary to create two new di'
visions to properly handle it. An or
der, effective May l, sigued by the
postmaster general today, establishes
four divisions: The eastern division,
with headquarters at New York mid
die division, headquarters at Indian,
apolis, comprising Ohio and all states
west to the Missouri and southern
down to and including Louisiana, with
F. NJ. Dice in charge; the western dr.
vision, headquarters at Denver, and
the southern division, including IL
southern states, headquarters at Wash
ington, with H. Conquest Clark in
charge.

difference. He is as numerous In
Maine as in Florida. His principal
business seems to be to get killed, and
with the old fashion open arc light, he
succeeds admirably. 1t is not so bad
with the enclosed light. He can only
fill the outer enclosure where he gen.
erally remains until he is released. In
the case of the open light he was in
stantly killed, and the ground under
meath was generally strewn with him.
He is not of much Importance, it is
true; but the peculiar circumstances
of his appearance is certainly inter-
esting.
Mr.. Chas. S. Henning, of Nashville,
Tenn, is in Yorkville with an unu-
sually interesting proposition to peo-
pie who care for first. class literature.
Mr.. Henning is the southern manager
of the H. Parmlee Library company,
of Chicago, a corporation that is oper-
ating extensively throughout the
United States, ard which has just be-
gun to establish itself in South Caro-
lima. The Parmlee company has what
is called a travelling system. Within
a given territory they put say 1000
books, divided into 20 sections of SO
books each. One section is sent to a
town at time, and after three months
replaced by another section, so that
the whole thousand books will cover a
given circuit within period of FIVE
years. In the catalogue exhibited by
Mr.. Henning, about $50 authors are
represented and the list includes many
new books just out, such as Richard
Carvel, David Harum, Red Rock, etc.
The company agrees to keep its pa
irons supplied with all the best new
books as soon as their merit becomes
established, and in case subscriber
desires to read book that is not in
the section at the time available, he
can get the use of it merely by paying
the postage. The company employs
a librarian in each town and places
upon patrons no other responsibility
than the payment of small dues. Mr..
Henning has his first section of so
books at the York Drug store, where
he is showing them to people who are
interested. Already number of peo'
pie have indicated their intention to
avail themselves of the privileges of
the library.

Scarcity of Beef Cattle. -
The scarcity of beef cattle in York
county has already been referred to,
and dealers inform THE ENQUIRER
that this scarcity is more pronounced
than they have ever known before,
From the best information obtainable,
the cattle are not actually scarcer than
usual but the proportion fit for use
is smaller. Scattered about through
the county there are quite number oi
people who have for several years past
been giving more attention to cattle
feeding, and while several of these
have on hand a good many head, on
account of the scarcity of feed that
has prevailed since last fall, the cattle
are not in as good condition as at the
present time in former years. The
situation has in it pretty strong hint
as to what might be accomplished in
this line, and there ought to be those
who will be able to profit by the lesson,
The Snakes are Out.
If there is anything in signs, the fruit
crop ought now to be considered reason.
ably safe. Experience has long since
shown that the peach does not know
enough to keep from budding until af'
ter all danger from frost is over. This
is generally believed to be because the
peach is from Persia, where there were
no frosts, and the trees have ever
since been in the habit of shooting out
their buds, at the slightest coaxing O
warm weather. As the result, in this
part of the country, the peach gets fool
ed about as often as it makes safe hit
