THE SUTRO MILL,

The stockholders Of the Loan and
Savings bank held meeting Wednes-
day afternoon to consider the best dis
position of the Sutro Cotton mill prop
erty, a controlling interest in which
was recently acquired by the bank.
After looking into the situation, the
stockholders Of the bank decided to buy
the property under very advantage
Gus proposition that was made by the
directors OF the bank, each stockholder
Of the bank taking an interest in the
mill in proportion to his bank stock
holdings!.<
In addition to the stockholders of the
bank, a number Of other people are in
terested in the mill bonds, and these
have generally agreed to enter upon the
purchase of the mill under the terms
proposed by the directors Of the bank.
The arrangement here outlined, calls
for the reorganization Of a new stock
company to operate the mill, and this
organization will be completed at an
early date.
The proposition Of the directors Of the
bank to the stockholders and others
interested gives them the mill property
at something like so cents on the dol
lar, very low valuation, and one that
seems to guarantee satisfactory returns
on the investment.

A POLITICAL party, after all is said,
is but an agency for the accomplish
ment of certain things which its men,
bers consider desirable. Unless 1t has
some prospect of attaining the ends In
view, it will fail to command support.
A party to be successful must be In
tensely practical. 1t must know It's
own mind must be sure it is right, and
must understand what it may attempt
and what is beyond its powers. 1t must
adopt the best means for the attain
ment of good ends. If that be counted
expediency, as it is in the highest
sense, then eXpediency is always
duty.-Louisville Courier Journal
In this proposition The Courier-Jour-
nal Is eminently correct but unfortu-
nately in this section there has been too
much of a disposition to look upon
political party as only machine
through which office may be obtained.
If our politicians ever looked at the
party as belonging to the people in
stead Of the people belonging to the
party, it has been long time since.
Concede that the party belongs to the
people, and it will follow that prosper
ity will depend upon the political bene-
fits it confers, and politicians will be
rewarded in proportion to the value of
their services to the party and the peo-
pie. The time has been when the peo-
pie belonged to the party and the party
belonged to the politicians; but this
time is passing rapidly.

THE Southern newspapers are scor-
ing Senator Foraker for his violent talk
in reference to the disfranchisement Of
the Negroes Of the South. 1t was un-
doubtedly a very foolish and hurtful
sentiment, not at all in keeping with
the spirit Of the times.
The Mckinley administration with
all it's faults has not shown partiality
for the Negroes. The most unjust crit
icism we have seen, however, comes
from the Orangeburg Times and Dem
ocrat. After scoring Foraker unmer-
cifully, but justly, it closes with this
paragraph:
Let it not be forgotten that Hanna,
who owns the convention, and Foraker,
who made the speech, are close person.
al friends of Senator McLaurin."
Because a Democratic senator is a
close personal friend of a Republican
senator is certainly no indication that
they have views in common. Tie
friendship that existed between Don
Cameron and M. G. Butler was like
that of Damon and Pythias and nobody
thought the less of General Butler for
1t. If the Orangeburg paper desires
to defeat McLaurin it must strike
him above the belt.-Spartanburg Her.
aid.
That is all very good, and quite time
ly. 1t Is generally understood that
Senator Tilman and Senator Hoar, Of
Massachusetts, are close personal
friends, and at Gaffney, on May 25th,
last, Senator Tillman boasted that he
had the respect and esteem Of every
Republican senator who is a gentle
man." AS a matter Of fact every
Southern Democratic representative Is
more or less intimate with one or more
Northern Republicans. There are no
social differences between Republicans
and Democrats in Washington, and it
is only on the hustings, and in some of
the more narrow and bitterly partizan
newspapers that there is any attempt
to make it appear that Hanna wears
dollar marks on his clothes and that

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Various committees Of the grand
juries have been in Yorkville this week
examining the books and records Of the
county offices. 1t is expected that the
next report Of the grand jury will go
rather more into details than hereto
fore.
Pursuant to instructions from a
member of the town council, the police
kept a record Of whisky receipts In
Yorkville by express during two weeks.
The report was as gallons. Common
rumor and irresponsible talk have had
the express receipts amounting to hun
dreds of gallons weekly. Constable
Scoggins is Of the opinion that the re-
ceipts by means of buggies and wag-
ons amount to considerably more than
those through the express office.
~. Henry Toole, the well-known
Rock Hill barber, has arranged to es-
tablish a shop in Yorkville. He was in
town Wednesday looking after the
matter and closed trade In which he
purchased the good will and fixtures of
Thomas Ballard, for so many years a
landmark in the barber business here.
After completing his arrangements,
Henry called at THE ENQUIRER office
and said: II would like the paper to tell
the people Of Yorkville that 1 have de-
termined to give them a flrst-class
shop. I have been wanting to run a
business here for a good many years;
but did not like to interfere with Old
Man Ballard. I've bought him out now,
though, and am in a position to give
the business my best efforts. I'll keep
the same room under the Parish hotel,
and although it Is not my intention to
put but one barber here for the present,
he will be good one. and I'll see that
he gets all the help he needs. fully
calculate on little loss at first; but
am going to put in a first class outfit
just as soon as possible and see to it
that the people get jam up service. I'm
running six chairs in Rock Hill, you
know, and I'd like to have that many
here; but Of course that will depend
upon the patronage. I'll be over here
every few days to give the business
my personal attention. and would like

4. That on or about the 22d day 1T
March, 1901, the plaintiff, having been
accepted for membership therein, was
initiated as a member of the said assc-
citation in the subordinate lodge OF

which was acting for the said as

hurt, bruised, wounded and injured In
his person, and thereafter, and as a
consequence thereof, suffered great
bodily pain, and continues so to suffer,

he had formerly done for a living for
himself and family, to his damage ff-
