Ship Subsidy Again.

It Is with especial pleasure that we
give space in another column to the
communication of Mr.. r. Kelso
Charles Of Darlington, on the ship SUBJ
sidy question, because 1t Is easy to rec
ognize in the writer not only a well-in-
formed man Of philosophic mind: but
also an individual who Is able to toler-
ate views with which he cannot agree.
and who. If convinced. would probably
make frank acknowledgment Of the
fact.
We would like all who are interested
in this question. to read carefully the
arguments advanced by Mr.. Charles.
His presentation Of his side Of the case
is strong and is calculated to furnish to
people who are opposed to the ship sub
sidy idea "just because" something
to stand on. However, whether it be
from confidence in what we may con-
ceive to be our superior wisdom. or just
ordinary stubborness. we are not in
clined to bulge from our position, es-
pecially since our correspondent has
been broad enough to see and liberal
enough to concede our contention that
the ship owner is not to be considered
as the object or principal beneficiary
of subsidy.
Just here. in this connection Also we
desire to say that while we are per-
Srodod that q largo merchant ma rina
will have immense influence in the de-
velopment of our foreign trade, and
that the development of our foreign
trade will add to the wealth Of the
nation, we are not certain that subsidy
will bring us the desired development
of our merchant marine. We only hope
and believe that such will be the result
of liberal subsidy paid out on a Just
and equitable basis, and our faith in
the proposition is sufficient to make us
willing and anxious to see fair trial
of the experiment.
With all due respect to the acknowl-
edged authorities on political economy,
we beg leave to inform our correspond
ent that the ideal conditions upon
which they usually base their philo-
sophics seldom exist in fact, and that
we can more easily get at the signifi-
canoe Of trade balances with foreign
countries by looking about us. Until a
our dealings with Europe, were against

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
OGDEN, October A.-We were treated
to something new last Friday night.
DR.. Bays delivered his famous and
very popular lecture on "Courtship," In
Antioch church on that night. Every
body was delighted with it. He held
the audience spellbound, as 1t were, for
| about an hour and half. One min
ute the audience would look as If they
were at a funeral service, and the next
moment 1t would be convulsed with
laughter. Tickets were sold at 25 and
Is cents each. The proceeds amounted
to s14.40. A small amount Of this sum
goes to pay balance Of our quota of
an Indebtedness on the district parson-
age. The balance goes to the church.
The weather this fall has been very
| favorable for the cotton crop and for
saving hay, etc. Everybody predict
| ed early frost, but we have not had
enough yet to do any damage. Cotton
continues to open very slowly, and ev-
erybody is of the opinion that the crop
will be short. The fair weather Is nice
for the cotton crop; but good rain is
| needed to put the ground in good fix
for sowing grain. An abundance of
| oats have been sown and the farmers
are now sowing wheat.
Mr.. William Newsom finished sowing
| wheat few days ago. He turned his
land with turn plows, then narrowed 1t
and put his wheat in with drill. He
put one-half bushel Of wheat and lit
| tie over 100 pounds of acid to the acre.
A great many others are preparing and
seeding their land the same way.
Corn is nearly all gathered. A great
| many farmers will have corn to buy
next year. Cotton Is being picked and
sold about as fast as 1t opens.
The pillars for the new school house
at this place were laid last week and
the carpenters were to commence work
yesterday. Mr.. J. c. Fudge. of Rock
Hill, has the contract. The house will
be 2Ox4O feet. Mr.. Fudge contracted to
put the house up for $50, and so cents
extra for each door and window fac
ing. The lumber will cost something
over $1O0.
Mr.. ]. R. Parishs store, near Ogden,
was broken into and robbed Of about
$1S worth of goods a few weeks ago.
At last account the thief or thieves had
not been caught.
Some Of our young men have been
doing some faithful and earnest work
this summer and fall, and as a result,
we learn that there will be several

near future. Well, I believe you are
good on a guess.

Won 1t Himself.
Charleston special to the Columbia
State: Captain Capers stated, however,
that he had been advised that Mr..
Koester had been in correspondence
with the president for sometime as to
political conditions in the south and in
| this state, and that some Of the edito-
rials in Koester's paper, notably one on
THE Necessity for Two Parties in the
South" and one on President Roose-
velt's Earnest Purpose" had particu-
larly impressed the president. So much
so, in fact, that he had sent for Mr..
Rooster, and after long talk with him
had decided to appoint him, although
Koester was not an applicant. To this
Senator Mel .aurin acquiesced, although
in no way withdrawing his endorse
ment of Dr. Clayton as the best simon
pure Republican in the state for the
position.
IVoIlector OF Internal Revenue.
The position of collector of internal
revenue, to which Mr.. G. r. Koester
has been appointed, carries with it
fixed salary of $500 year and fees
that do not generally amount to less
than $1,000 per annum. Under the di-
rection Of the collector also are 40 or
more deputies and clerks whose sala-
ries aggregate about $4,000. The Uni
bod Tot
test every. barrel of whisky shipped to
the state dispensary, is appointed by
the collector, as are also the gaugers
and store keepers at the smaller distil-
leries. There are three division depu-
ties under the Office, who are located
in different sections Of the state, and
three office deputies. The division dep
uties get 81, 400 year each and the sal
aries Of the office deputies range from
this amount upward.
Loading Cotton at Charleston.
News and Courier, Thursday: An in
teresting sight on the water front now
adays is the loading of the big ocean
going steamers, with cotton for foreign
ports. The immense British and Nor
wegian tramps now taking on cargoes
at the wharves carry from ten to f1f-
teen thousand bales of the fieecy sta
pie. BY no means the least important
feature of the shipment Of cotton Is the
packing of it in the holds of the vessels.
Heavy screws are now used by the
stevedores, that force the bales into
the matches with a compactness that Is
wonderful. 1t Is a puzzle to the ordi-
nary observer how the longshoremen
at the other end Of the voyage ever
succeed in getting the freight out Of
the steamers. Some persons contend
that such a close and tight loading Of
the cotton often causes spontaneous
combustion, while others in position to
know, claim that no fire ever occurred
in the matches Of vessel loaded with
cotton that was not dropped there
either before the cotton was loaded or
after the ship put to sea. The presence
of q number of the large deep-water
craft tied up at the wharves, tend to
give the water front lively appear
ance.

Of groceries valued at $500 and a part
of his household furniture. The only
part Of the property that was insured
was the cottage adjoining the stables.
On this cottage there was $500 insur-

will amount to about $4,000. With the
aid Of the firemen who arrived during
the first stage Of the fire, the stable
proprietors succeeded in saving about
20 Of their horses and most Of their

The Hawleyville Union chapel held
a good audience on Sunday evening
when Rev Otis w. Barker conducted
a preaching service there. He gave
the sermon which he had delivered in
his own church in the morning, taking
for his text phrase from II Tim. AZ,
"Preach the word" He showed how
effective was the preaching of the
Apostles, how it was aimed at mark,
and always produced one of the two
effects, of angering the audience or
bringing it in repentance to the feet
of the Saviour. He said that men lis
ten best to the plain teachings of Jesus
simply told. The man of God must be
fresh air man, studying his congre-
cation and alive so the needs of the hui
man soul. The aim of the ministry is
not to reform society, but to trans
form it, to put into its life great prin-
ciples which shall work themselves out
in bringing in the kingdom of God.
The Hawleyville chapel has been for
some time without regular preaching
services, and the people seemed to ap-
preciate this coming again of the
privilege of listening at their own
doors to the presentation of Gospel
truth.

LETTER TO GEORGE w. STUART.

NEWTOWN.
Dear Sir: Consider one point if you
please, in painting your work-a point,
on which the practice of painters is
apt to be wrong-the printing.
The usual practice is to use cheap
ochre for printing. Don't do it. Use
the same paint you are going to use fO1
the other two coats.
The reason for cheap Ochre is: it is
cheap-a poor reason. The saving is
very small-a few cents on the side of
a house-and the damage considerable.
Cheap ochre is very poor stuff; not tit
for foundation paint; not fit for the
bond between paint and wood. And
printing is both foundation and bond.
Devoe is your paint: the same for all
coats; lead and zinc; best paint in the
world. We have no monopoly of it..
Others can make it; they choose to
make inferior paint. Lead and oil
lasts half as long as DevOe.
This is an absurd condition in the
paint business; but it exists. Devoe
is your paint.
Yours truly,
sc F. w. Devoe & Co.
