"Madge Smith, Attorney the play in
which May Irwin will be seen at the Metro
politan the first half of next week, opening
Sunday, is comedy new to this city, and the
announcement of her appearance in it gives
promise of several enjoyable evenings for the
theater-goers of Minneapolis. Miss Irwin's
plays are always successful but this one in
particular is credited with being her best
effort.

''The Burgomaster' will visit Minneapolis
again for short period Of three nights with
Saturday matinee at the Metropolitan the last
half Of next week, beginning Thursday. This
merry melange Of wit, beauty and song will
undoubtedly repeat the tremendous hit it
scored here early in the season.

''The Flaming Arrow,' will be
given its first local presentation. The star
Of the play, Go-Won-G the only
Indian actress in the world, has but recently
returned from Europe, where for the last
year she has been touring in repertory of

TO REDUCE THE CROP.

Whether acted upon or not, this from
the Atlanta Journal of Wednesday, is
sensible:
Every farmer in Georgia and every
other Southern state should strive to
get to his county seat next Saturday.
April 6, TO attend the meetings looking
to the reduction of cotton acreage and
the further diversification of crops.
Present ruling prices for cotton to be
delivered in the fall months will not
justify more than S or 81 cents for the
farmers. 1t generally happens that
when so much cotton is coming to
market in the fall months prices
shrink, so it is within the range of pos
sibiiities to see AGENTS cotton again
this fall, if the present tendency of
prices be maintained.
Farmers should always remember
that:
100000 bales at cents means s275,-
100000.
100000 bales at cents means $780,
600, 600.
100000 bales at cents means s315,-
100000
100000 bales at 10 cents means s4oO,-
OOO,O 900.
The smaller the crop the better are
the returns per acre.
Spinners are reducing consumption
because they complain Of slack trade
and high prices for cotton. Let the
farmer reduce his production accord
ingly, and in place Of the extra amount
of cotton let him plant grain, potatoes,
vegetables, watermeions, cane, sor-
ghum and rice where possible.
Diversiication has already abund-
antly prospered Southern farmers.
Keep it up.

THE Anderson Intelligencer, which is
generally sound in such comments as
it sees proper to make for the benefit
of it's readers, is especially sound in
this:
Every man of the coming generation
should be a politician, with a policy
for purity of government. 1t does not
follow that because man is polite
ian, he must be an office seeker OF
rely, as so many do, on political job
for his daily bread. The bank clerk
and the merchant should be politicians
just as much as the most ardent office
seeker. We want men who are inter
este5 in politics for the general good
Of all, and not simply for personal
good. There will always be two great
parties in the field of action. No re-
public and no city can be successful
without two distinct political organi-
cations. 1t is the difference of opinion
and the difference of principle that
create life and good results in politics
One party is needed as a stimulant
and q check to the other. There are
good men in all parties but it takes
antagonism to bring the best.

MILLINERY DISPLAY.

The millinery display Of Messrs. II.
C. Strauss & Co., on Thursday and
Friday, was an attraction Of unusual
interest to the ladies Of Yorkville and
surrounding county, and was a great
success artistically and otherwise.
Although the ladies had been very
much rushed on account Of the una
voidable delay in receiving the hand
some new stock Of millinery recently
purchased in the Northern markets,
they succeeded we'll in surmounting all
obstacles, and gave show that pleas
ed and delighted all Of their numerous
visitors.
Out in the main storeroom there
was displayed the seasons new pat
terms in dress goods, In all manner Of
fabrics, together with numerous and
interesting novelties and in the milli-
merry department was an exposition Of
the latest styles in hats and bonnets,
quantities Of rich and costly silks,
laces, ribbons, artificial flowers, etc.
The show was unusually elaborate,
highly creditable to the artistic taste
and skill Of Miss Rea and her assist
ants. 1--WE just had a splendid day"
said Miss Rea, Thursday evening. II
have never seen a more delightful
crowd Of visitors than have come in to
see us, and they were so kind, too.
Quite a number of ladies from the town
and country told us that our hats and
bonnets are just perfect. We've sold
lots Of patterns and taken, oh! so
many orders, that we can hardly ex-
pect an idle moment from now on"
Mr.. Harshaw was also we'll pleased
with the success of the show. 1--WE
did not expect to sell anything much"
he said. 1.-The display was only to let
the ladies see what we have, feeling
that most of them would come back
again. But we have had what you
would call a big day. All the clerks
out here have been busy selling goods,
and the ladies in the millinery depart
ment have also made lots Of sales.
Yes, we are all satisfied with the days
work.

ACCORDING to the New York World,
]. Pierpont Morgan turning his at
tention to the completion of the Pana-
ma canal. He has given the subject
thorough investigation and has a syn
dicate with plenty Of money ready to
back him up. 1t is claimed that the
French company which now holds the
title to the work already completed,
and a franchise that does not expire
until 1910, has reached the end of its
tether financially, and will either have
to sell out pretty cheap or lose it's hold
ings Morgan, it is said, is anxious to
take up the undertaking as a private
enterprise, pay the Frenchmen about
$40, 900 900 for their rights. and put up
sufficient American capital to complete
the work. He is represented as being
sure that he can carry the undertaking
to success. AS n condition precedent
to his taking hold, however, he wants
the United States government to let
! secure it's removal as disturbing fac
tor. 1t is stated that under the Nor
gan plan, the United States will be
able to secure all the advantages of a
canal connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cific without cent Of expenditure, and
free from all possible complications
with foreign powers. That Morgan is
capable of carrying through such a
work there is little reason to doubt. 1t
is not thought that more than $20O,0O0,-
900 will be needed and this is small
matter to the successful organizer of
the 81, 600, 900 steel company. But as
to whether it is a fact that the great
financier is really interested along
these lines cannot be determined ex-
cept in the light of further develop
ments. Newspapers like The World
sometimes take unwarranted liberties
with men like Mr.. Morgan.

McDOWELL-SPENCER.

The marriage of DR.. J. D. Mcdowell
and Miss Matte Spencer, in the York
willie Presbyterian church last Wednes-
day evening, was a social event Of un-
usual interest, not only to the many
friends of these well-known and popu-
lar young people; but to the local pub
lie generally.
The interior of the church had been
elaborately decorated, the pulpit espe-
cially being made to look like tropi-
cal bower It was almost hidden from
view with palms, potted plants and
evergreens, thickly studded with large
white water-lillies.
At few minutes to seven, the
church being already filled with people,
and the officiating ministers in their
places, the first strains Of the wedding
march pealed forth and the bridal
party went marching slowly up the
aisle. Messrs. M. L. Carroll and Starr
NJ. Mason and w. P. Harrison and
Geo. w. Williams acted as ushers.
They were followed by Misses Anice
O'Leary and Sallie Mcdonald, two
bridesmaids. Then came Messrs. Da-

groomsmen. Misses Daisy Hart and
Mary Crawford, two more bridesmaids,
followed, and after them DR.. Jas. Nc

We have from Lieutenant James B.
Allison, copy Of Number 1, Volume 1
Of the Valdez News, a six-column,
four-page newspaper published at VAL
dez, Alaska, on March 9. 1t seems
that the town Of Valdez, although only
a little more than two years old, con-
tains several hundred inhabitants, and
an enterprising publisher Is already
trying to provide that necessary ad-
junct to even pioneer civilization-the
newspaper. The News does not con-
tain a great deal Of local news; but Is
made up of matters Of evident local in
terest, historical, dealing with the
past two years., industrial religious,
etc. In his salutatory the editor speaks
hopefully Of the day when the develop
ment of the little town into metropo-
lis will justify the publication Of a
daily and promises to be on hand with
the first signs Of the ripeness Of the
times. The price Of the little paper is
10 cents a copy, $500 year bv mail,
or $3.50 by carrier. Twelve Of its "a
columns are filled with the advertise
ments Of enterprising Valdezians and
it looks as If the paper has come to
stay.

FROM the dispatches appearing in

China has not yet signed the treaty
whereby she is desired by Russia to

has the matter under consideration.
She is afraid to act one way or the
other. Japan is reported to have CIV

THE COUNTY COMMIsSIO NERs.

The county commissioners held their
regular monthly meeting in the office
of the supervisor last Wednesday, all
of the members being present.
All Of the commissioners had been
giving more or less attention during
the past week to repairing the damage
to bridges on account Of the recent
freshet; but no new information Of
Importance developed.
There was a petition from people Of
Bullock's Creek township, asking for a
new road from the residence of John
C. Kirkpatrick, on the York and Ches-
ter road, to run three miles southeast
to the residence of Miss Martha Feem-
ster. The petition was granted and
Messrs. P. B. Good, Joseph c. Kirkpat-
rick and L. H. Good were appointed
special commissions to lay out the road
and open it up.
Attorney Brice laid before the board
the matter of Mr.. W. A. BARRIERS
agreement to forfeit $500 to the county
in the event Of his failure to make the
Carolina and Northwestern railroad a
standard gauge by January last. Such
was the purport Of the agreement as
the board understood it at the time it
was made. 1t developed, however that,
there was an ambiguity in the con-
tract, arising from the substitution Of
party Of the first part" where 1t
should have been party Of the Sec
ond part" and making the money pay
able to Mr.. Barber instead Of the COM
missioners. But this was not the real
point of Misunderstanding. Mr.. Bar
ber held that under his contract it was
optional with him whether he should
pay the $500 or take the stock at $4,000,
the price originally agreed upon. He
treasured the board Of his willingness
to take the stock; but was not willing
to pay the $500 forfeit. The matter
was settled by the signing Of a new
agreement whereby Mr.. Barber binds
himself, not only to make standard
gauge Of the road by July 1. 1902, but
to take the county's stock at $4,000. In
the event Of failure to perform both
obligations, or either Of them, the rail-
road company is to forfeit to the coun-
ty the sum Of $500.
During the time the meeting Of the
board was in session, some so or 60 ac-
counts were examined approved and
ordered paid.
