Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-08-17
The Rule of the People.

1t has come to the attention Of THE
ENQUIRER several times recently, THAT
there is a rumor in circulation to&he
effect that the secret of THE ENoGxS
RER's support Of the policies advoca-
ted by Senator McLaurin, lies in the
fact that we have a promise of the
Yorkville postoffice for some member of
our staff.
Just where this rumor may have orig
mated is. so far as we are concerned. a
matter of pure speculation. We do not
know. Neither do we know its object.
1t may be based upon the inference so
natural to some people that all men
are governed by sinister motives alone
and the concoction referred to may
have been arrived at as logical con-
clusion. Or it may have been based
upon the plausible theory that since
Senator McLaurin is generally under
stood to have influenced other postal
appointments, that he can influence
this one; and since THE ENQUIRER has
been one Of his unwavering supporters
since 1896, when he was a member of
the house, he would naturally favor us
in preference to others. And still
again, the rumor may have had its ori-
gin in the sinister desire Of interested
people to discredit our views by i'm
pugning our motives.
But however, and wherever this ru-
NOR may have had it's origin, and who
ever may have repeated it, it is abso-
lutely without a shadow of foundation
in truth. We endorsed Representative
McLaurin's protection theories in 1896,
not because Senator Tillman, the Co.
lumbia State and News and Courier af-
| terward endorsed them; but because
we felt that the representative was
working for the best interest of South
Carolina, and because we admired the
splendid moral courage that was mani
tested in his advocacy of such views at

\ %HE SHELBY MURDERER.

fhe Shelby Aurora Of Wednesday has
the following:
"Seyeral arrests in distant towns have
been made due to mistaken identity OF
Jim Lowry. AS yet no Definite knoWl-
edge Of his whereabouts has been Sc
cured, but it is hoped that the reWard
and the dilligent effort being made Will
secure the capture of the feelng muir
derer."
II has developed since the murder
was committed, that the name of the
murderer is not Jim Lowry; but John
jenkins. He is York county Negro.
however, as was originally stated, and
It seems that he has been living IN
Shelby for several years under the
name of another York county Negro,
the real Jim Lowry, who has been be-
having himself in the meantime.
jenkins, the murderer, alias Lowry,
Is wanted in York county, for a Dur
glary committed November 2, 1894. On
that day he and another Negro named
Oney Legg entered the house or one
Lemuel Garner, colored, and stole
goods to the value Of 1897. jenkins got
away and was never arrested. Legg
was tried on April 3. 1895, convicted
and sentenced to the state pententiary
for II years. In the case Of Jenkins q
sealed sentence was left with the clerk
Of the court.
Sheriff Logan, sometime back, got
from good authority, information to the
effect that Jenkins was in Shelby and
he wrote to Chief Jones to arrest him
but was unable to furnish the chief
with the name under which the Negro
was then going and consequently no ar
rest was made. 1t did not develop un-
til several days after the murder that
John Jenkins and the alleged Jim Low
ry were one and the same Negro.

COTTON MILL ASSESSMENTS.

The state board of equalization of the
property of the textile factories, fertil-
izer plants, and cotton oil mills, has
been at work this week trying to dis
cover an equitable basis for the assess
ment of such property. After the ex-
preston Of a great many views show
ing careful study of the whole matter,
the following was agreed upon with
reference to the taxation of cotton mill
property:
Resolved, That for the purpose Of
euualiZing the assessments upon cotton
mills, and fixing such mode Of assess
inent as may be equitable, and In pro-
portion to other property, the follow
ing plan of assessment Is recommended,
viz:
First. The basis of assessment shall
be the market value of the stock and
bonds of any company, such market
value to be ascertained by multiplying
the number of shares of stock and
bonds, if there be any, by the average
selling value of such stock or bonds for
the preceding year.
Second. That when the value of the
plant shall be aScertained in the man.
ner above stated the amount of the as
sessment shall be fixed by taking 60 per
cent. of such ascertained value Of any
plant, such per cent. being a fair ratio
as compared with other classes of prop
erty as assessed for taxation.
Third. If for any reason the mar
ket value of any plant cannot be thus
ascertained, then the county auditor of
such county or the county or township
board Of equalization, shall be author
lied to ascertain the value of such
plant in such other manner as may be
necessary or advisable. subject to the
approval of the state board Of equali-
zation.
After further discussion, the follow
ing was agreed upon as a satisfactory
method Of arriving at the information
upon which to make an assessment:
Resolved, That in order that this
board may arrive at proper estimate
of the market value Of the stock Of the
cotton mills and other textile indus

.mR. PLAxCo,s WHEAT.

ME-. John B. Plaxco did not make quite
200 bushels Of wheat off his big patch
on the southwestern outskirts Of York.
Vile; but he came so near 1t as to make
the difference quite small matter, rel
atively speaking.
The wheat has just been threshed,
the work being completed this week,
and on Thursday Mr.. Plaxco brought
us the figures in accordance with his
promise made some weeks back. The
total yield was $50 bushels.
There were IS acres In the patch. All
of the land had been prepared In the
same manner, and with the exception
Of three acres, all had been fertilized
alike. Two hundred pounds Of acid to
the acre. The seed was all put in with
drill at the rate Of a pecks to the acre.
Here Is the story Of the seeding and the
yield:
One field of q acres was seeded be-
tween October 18th and October 20. The
yield was 543 bushels, or 20 1-9 bushels
to the acre. Another field Of fifteen
acres were seeded November l.. The
yield was 2S5 bushels-19 bushels to the
acre. A third field Of 10 acres, was
seeded November S. The yield was 134
bushels-13a bushels to the acre. This
field had been in wheat for two sue
cessive years previous. Another small
patch of acres was seeded December
/. The yield was 16 bushels-5 1-3 BUSH
els to the acre. Still another smaller
patch Of acre, narrowed in without
fertilizer on November 1, yielded 2
bushels-S bushels to the acre.
1t will be remembered that many
people who saw the field at the harvest
time, estimated the probable yield at
1000 bushels. Some thought there
would be an average of not less than
20 bushels to the acre, or an aggregate
of LOO bushels, while Mr.. Plaxco was
counting on not less than 600 nor more
than 800 bushels. Z.
In addition to the wheat, Mr.. Plaxco
calculates that he will have not less
than 30 tons Of straw, which he values
at S. a ton, or $3.50. After taking off
the wheat, peas were sown on a part
of the stubble and the balance has been
allowed to grow up in crab grass, which
is now making a fine showing.

ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.
Death of Mrs. w. B. Kerr-The Sew
ernEe QuestiOn-NO More CLAN
ders.
OF the Yorkville Enquirer.

kCorrespondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
hocK HILL, August 15.-Mrs. w. B.
Kerr, whose serious illness was men,
toned in my last letter, died in this
city on Tuesday night. She was about
26 years of age, and was the daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. ]. H. Witherspoon, of
Lancaster Eight years ago she mar
ried w. 3. Kerr, of this city, who sur
wives with two children. A number of
the relatives of the deceased were pres
ent at the interment Wednesday after
noon, Miss Mary Joe Witherspoon and
brother, of Yorkville, being of the num-
ber.
The picnic at Oakland church on last
Friday, was attended by a multitude,
and the dinner was a royal feast.
The glanders scare having been re-
lieved by the subsistence of the disease,
the city council has decided to estab-
lish four drinking fountains for man
and beast; two to be located on Main
street; one on Black street and one on
White street.
The Woodmen excursion to Ashe-
vile on the 2Sth, will be we'll patron
lied, not only by the Woodmen, but by
our citizens generally.
A few of our citizens met in corpus,
few days ago. and discussed the ad-
in this city. The scheme looks to its
being built by private corporation,
who it is expected will ask the city for
franchise: but it is unlikely that a
franchise will be issued unless the sew
er system is to cover the same streets
and the same amount of territory as is
now covered by the water system. The
next franchise that Rock Hill grants,
will be dissected in such a manner as
to protect the city against corporate
greed and it's terms will be made so
plain, and it's conditions SO eXacting,
that the city will not be a loser on ac-
count of the transfer of valuable priv
ileges to any company who may put in
a plant.
Miss Grist, of Yorkville, who won the
vacant scholarship in Winthrop, to
which York is entitled. received the
award over 81 competitors.
