HORSE AND MULE TRADE.

The salesday crowd last Monday was
not so large as during salesday fol-
December, but it was made up more
particularly of a class of people who
came on special business bent-to see
about horses and mules.
The town was full of live stock
There were more horses and mules
here Tor sale than there has been for
quite awhile. Rock Hill dealers
brought over 70 head, and Chester
dealers brought up some 12 or Is head.
These, together with the local stocks
ran the total number there was to Sc
lect from to considerably more than lOO,
not taking into account the good, bad
and Indifferent stock that was brought
in by the smaller traders, for hitching
lot operations.
So far as the reporter has been able
to gather, about 29 head Of stock was
sold during the day. Of these Messrs.
Glenn & Allison got rid of 10 head, in
Guiding six mules at 5000 each, and
Messrs. Beard & Carroll sold six mules
and two horses.
The business of Messrs. Glenn & ALL
son, during the past week, has been un-
usually brisk. The firm received a
fresh car load of fine mules from 81.
Louis on Thursday night, and got rld
of II head last Saturday. The sales Oh
Monday ran the total for two days up
to even 80, and the firm finds that 1t
will have to import another fresh lot
without delay. Messrs. Beard & car

Most of the cities Of the far West,
especially those which evoluted from
mining camps, trace their histories
back to the time when the better ele-
ment arose in it's might and suppress
ed and cleaned out the gamblers and
thieves. AS a rule, the first comers
were honest miners who came to dig
their bread, or perchance, fortunes out
of the ground. Just in proportion to
the prosperity they wrought, gamblers
confidence men and other parasites
would congregate around the scene or
their industry, and become nulsances
too great for honest toll to bear. There
are hundreds Of Western cities that
date their riddance from such nuisan-
ces from the day of some pitched battle
between the better element and the
desperadoes. Many of these battles
were bloody, and in some of them the
desperadoes were victorious, making
necessary second and even third lights.
We would not like to see violence and
bloodshed Of this kind in the capital OF
South Carolina; but we would be glad
to see the development Of some of the
spirit that helped to purify towns III
the West. For a young man of strong
ly developed social tendencies, with
money, to go to Columbia, is positively
dangerous. The city is literally filled
with blind tigers and gambling sharks
of the worst description possible There
are men there, who, to inveigle
stranger into a game, will use cunning
that would excite the admiration OF a
Baxter street confidence expert, and who
will fleece him not only Of the last cent
in his pockets; but of his jewelry and
overcoat. If necessary, they will kill
him. There are some good people in
Columbia, of course. There are enough
to purify the city Of such dangerous
characters as we have referred to.
There are enough to accomplish this
purification without bloodshed. If they
were of a mind to, they could accom-
plish the desired end through the regu-
lar processes of the law; but they don't
seem to be of a mind to. The evil has
been growing steadily ever since the
war, and at no time has it been worse
than now.

roll got in 21 mules a week ago, and
thus early in the season, find that they
have only two left. Mr.. Carroll said
yesterday that he was going after an
other carload as soon as he could ar
range to do so.
Although the dealers continue to
handle all kinds of stock at all kinds of
prices, the general average of quality
and price is higher than last season.
Some. very good mules have been sold
at from s1OO to $11O; Dut the better class
of mules in demand are bringing any

ably more brisk than it has been for

all kinds. taken from hip pockets.
IS. L. Hobbs & Co., have moved the
Parlor Grocery across the street into
the "Kuykendal building" which has
been improved with a glass front. The
restaurant is upstairs.
The nolice seized four or five gal
Ions Of blind tiger liquor on Monday
morning, and there was not as much
drunkenness as there would have been
otherwise. There were no arrests dur
ing the day, the large crowd that was
in town being very well behaved.
The volume Of business transacted
by the Loan and Savings bank during
December, was greater than that for
any previous December in the history of
that institution. The fact is Of pleas
ing significance not only to the man.
agement Of the bank; but to the town
Of Yorkville.
The planer at J. J. Keller & Co.'S
lumber yard is doing good deal of
running at night these times. AL
though able to turn out more work
with the same facilities in a given time
than any other workman in this section
in his line, Superintendent Kunz has
had to resort to nightwork to keep up.
The firm has recently purchased addi-
tional machinery, and will, within a
short time, enlarge the plant consider
ably. The lumber trade In Yorkville
is in a much better condition than it
has ever been, owing largely to the en-
ergy of Messrs. J. j. Keller & Co.
The town council is being rather
hard run to find a satisfactory place in
which to transact its business. From
the Nichols building, some months ago,
the town office was moved to No. Law
Range. The other occupants of the
building were not at all pleased with
that arrangement, and the owner of
the property refused to extend the lease
beyond January 1. Within the past
few days the council has taken up it's
quarters in the room over the law office
of Finley & Brice; but whether the
ARRANGEMENT will be permanent cannot
now be stated. There is no serious OBJ
lection to Mayor Willis, Chief Love and
other members of the council, it should
be understood. The objection is to the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-01-09

THE part that woman sometimes
plays in politics is shown by the cur
rent version Of the feud that formerly
existed between ex-Gov. William X.
Merriam, of Minnesota, and the late
Senator Cushman K. Davis, or, more
properly, between their respective
wives. When Merriam was governor
he was a reputed millionaire and MS
wife a leader Of the exclusive soclety
of st. Paul and Minneapolis. Mrs. Da-
Wis, it seems, had worked for her living,
and Mrs. Merriam publicly. snuppeo
her. Senator Davis was big man at
washington, and Mrs. Davis became
leader of Washington society. So when
Ex-Governor Merriam, who had lost
his fortune in 1893, was willing to ac-
cept a cabinet portfolio from Mckinney
on his first election, Davis declared
he would fight the nomination on the
floor of the senate, and Merriam olo
not get it. Later, when he needeo the
nosition of supervisor of the census,
Senator Davis had to be consulted upon
the nomination and it was left for the
wives, it is reported, to settle the mat
ter, Mrs. Merriam apologizing to MRS
Davis for the treatment she had Tor
merly accorded her.-Spring1eld Re-
publican.
If it is true that Senator Davis used
a public position to crafty private
erudge, then Senator Davis was not
the grand man he had the credit OF be-
ing. But possibly revenge was not the
motive. If Mrs. Merriam, in her power
and influence snubbed Mrs. Davis for
no other reason than because that lady
had been an honest Garner of her own
livelihood, then it was not for the best
interest of the public service that Mrs
Merriam, through her husband or 9TH
erwise, should be retained in high posi-
ton. Such may have been the view OF
Senator Davis The apology exacted OF
Mrs. Merriam was probably taken as
guarantee that she would never offend
in like manner again. Whatever other
view we may take Of the incident II
certainly teaches the wisdom of accord
ing proper respect to all who may be
really deserving Of respect.

In a nutshell. the cotton situation is
simply this: Yarn manufacturers are
unable to make satisfactory profits
from raw material at present prices.
and the consuming public is fighting a
further advance in the price of the
manufactured goods. The holders OF
cotton have faith in the strength OF
their position, and the waiting game that
is being played on both sides is growing
tiresome to those most directly inter-
ested. We hope to see the deadlock
broken by a still further advance In
the price Of manufactured goods. This
of course, will be followed Immediately
by an advance in the price of raw cot
ton.
