with admirable pluck, not hesitaring
because Of the superior odds they knew
to be on the side of the enemy. Wof-
fords team has been coached by Wal
ker, one Of Clemson's old players who
made quite record as football play
er while there. His team although
slow in starting at present, will have
this fault remedied before playing an
other game and he may expect his
team to do work which will reflect
credit upon him as a coach. Wither-
spoon and Bernard, half backs, and
Neil fullback, did the tackling for K.
M. M. A., while Stephenson and Nc
Kay. at ends, whose duty 1t was to
ball. Davidson, at guard also deserves
mention. Darby, who played right
halfback for the first part Of the game,
was 'Charlie-Horsed' so badly that he
could not play his usual good game,
and by the beginning of the second
half 1t panied him to such an extent
that he was forced to retire from the
game. Witherspoon, who had been
playing right guard, took his place,
and Mayes filled Witherspoon's position
at guard. K. M. M. AS weak point
was In the line, which was so weak
that the quarterback would often be
knocked over before ne could pass the
ball. Wofford had little chance to do
defensive work, the ball being In Its
possession almost the entire game.
Brabham, Boyd and Montgomery ran
we'll with the ball and Watkins struck
line for long gains. The game started
at 425 p. m, and two halves Of % and
II minutes respectively, were played,
with 10 minutes rest between them.
The K. M. M. A. boys are in good spir-
its and are going to practice with re-
newed vigor and will, without doubt,
meet with much better success in her
future games."

WILL HE Do IT?-The Washington
correspondent Of the New York World
reports President Roosevelt as saying
to DR.. Clayton: Il am going to select
the very best men for public positions.
Men appointed to public places must
be high in morals and in every other
respect. II the American people care
to show their approval Of my course as
president during the three years and
half that have to serve by placing me
at the head Of the Republican ticket
In 1904 I should feel deeply grateful.
But If have to pander to any cliques,
combinations or movements for their
approval would not give a snap Of
my finger for it or for a nomination un-
der such circumstances. My endorse
ment must come from the people Of the
country" If Mr.. Roosevelt should live
strictly up to this programme he will
stand a fair chance of being nominated
by acclamation in 1904. The country
has been waiting for hundred years
for such a president as he describes

TROUBLE OF THE CIRcUs.-Wallace' s
show had a day Of tribulation in Au-
gusta Wednesday, according to dis
patch to the Atlanta Journal. The
trouble began early in the morning,
when the calliope ran over and Grip
pied a Negro and broke his leg, and
it ended when it left here, considerably
late, after having been held up by a
constable.
The father of the Negro ran over
employed council at once and legal
steps were taken to hold up the show,
the horses being attached as they
crossed the bridge from North Angus
ia to land the cars on this side of the
river.
Just before midnight the street
in front of Judge Wallis office had the
appearance Of a circus yard, with its
great drove of horses and array Of cir
Gus wagons. Some agreement was A.
nally reached which enabled the Wal
laces to get away.
During the final act of the perform
ance last night. while two lady char
ioteers were racing, the chariot Of one
was turned over just before finishing
the race. The driver was thrown at
least 20 feet. Strange to say, except
bruises, she was not hurt, though the
Mortified thousands who witnessed the

THE CIRCUS COMING.

The bill posters for "John Robinson's
Ten Big Shows combined" arrived in
Yorkville Thursday. and have been
putting in the time since painting the
place red" with advertising matter an
nouncing the coming Of this aggrega-
tion on October 81.
Mr.. Ellis, the advance press agent
called upon THE ENQUIRER and told
some wonderfully entertaining stories
Of the show, which he claims now trav-
els on 40 cars when only about 20 were
required on the occasion of it's last visit
here in the fall Of 1897. 1--WE have not
got the biggest show on earth, maybe"
said Mr.. Ellis; "but I'll warrant you
that we have one Of the best that has
ever been seen in this county. Almost
everything in the way Of fixtures was
new at the beginning Of this season,
and there is not a show travelling with
handsomer or more expensive plant.
Our street parade is larger and more
imposing than 1t has ever been and our
menagerie includes about everything a
man could want to see."
Asked about the leading features OF
the show as now organized, Mr.. Ellis
mentioned a herd Of trained elephants,
celebrated trapeze performers and
bareback riders, the colossal Roman
hipodrome and other things; But the
most interesting feature to most peo-
ple," he said, twill be the great
spectacle of King Solomon, his temple
and the Queen Of Sheba. This is a
grand spectacular production in which
as many as five hundred people parti-
cipate, and which never fails to cap
tivate the amusement loving people"
The John Robinson show has been in
North Carolina for several weeks past,
and the reports from it in that state
are generally quite creditable.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-10-19

claim credit for this, and note Of the
fact was made in our issue Of August
L. Referring to this in his letter Of Au-
gust 21, 1900, DR.. Stokes said:
IT note that you use in your criti-
cism the term Star Route do not
know that he has ever laii claim to
that specific phase Of the delivery; but
there is much confusion in the public
mind, and his claims have been 80
couched as to leave the impression
that he is responsible for Rural Deliv-
cry. He would probably get from un-
accuracy Of the indictment. Better use
the generic term Rural Delivery in any
future references"
We observe that while the free junk
cts to Due West and Cuba are admit
ted with the claim that their object
was pleasure and to bring representa-
tive men in contact with our people,
nothing is said about the many small
er trips to New York and Niagara" D."
DR.. Stokes says these were for family
and friends"
AS explained by Mr.. Latimer, the
clover and grass experiment incident
sounds both reasonable and plausible.
DR.. Stokes, however, did not look at 1t
exactly that way, as is evidenced by
his letter of August 81, 1900. This is
the way the doctor saw 1t:
His form was set in grass by a
government expert last fall. He was at
1t for several weeks, and I believe is
still in charge. OF course, the osten-
sible ground is for the purpose Of test
ing grasses for that section; but being
within a short distance Of the state
farm at Clemson, there would seem to
be no excuse for expending public
funds on private property, and espe-
cially would 1t appear reprehensible
when the private property belongs to a
representative who has to vote the
funds for the purpose. Doubtless, If
private property had to be used, any
number Of farmers in that section
would gladly have granted small plats
for experimentation, and so have
avoided the appearance Of putting
permanent improvements on private
property at public expense. The prin-
ciple here seems too elementary FOR
argument"
AS to how, If at all, Mr.. Latimer
saved Dr. Stokes's seat in congress we
have no information. If Mr.. Latimer's
claim is true, it was certainly re-
markable feat. We are doubtful, how
ever, as to whether the fact ever came
to DR.. Stokes's attention. If it had
the doctor would not have been un-
grateful; but at the same time we have
no idea that his gratitude would have
ever descended to the point where he
could have gotten the consent of his
conscience to sanction transactions that
he knew to be wrong.

John G. Capers is one Of McLaurin's

Is mistaken. McLaurln and Capers are
warm personal friends, and have been

BY the setting of Mr.. Latimer's
form in grass is meant an effort to
reproduce the likeness Of the Bolton
statesman on his lawn. This explana-
ton is deemed necessary because of the
fact that some people have a misun-
derstanding of the matter. We have
no information as to the result Of the
experiment; but we are satisfied that
the portrait must be both handsome
and impressive.

GAGE On FINANcE.-Secretary Of the
Treasury Gage delivered an address
before the American Bankers asso-
citation in session at Milwaukee, Wis,
last Thursday, and outlined his views
as to the proper conduct Of the ma
tional financial system as follows:
First. I believe it to be most de-
sirable tnat the demand liabilities of
the government, known as legal ten
der notes, should be put in the way of
retirement and cancellation.
Second. I believe that this can be
accomplished without any burden of
interest cost to the public treasury.
Third. T believe that our system of
bank note circulation can be, and ought
to be, so modified as to make it more
responsive to commercial and indus
trial requirements, without any in
crease Of risk to the billholder.
Fourth. I believe that beyond act
ing as guardian and trustee for the
people in relation to national banks the
government guaranty to bank note
issues should cease.
Fifth. I believe that the public
moneys in excess Of reasonable work.
ing balance for daily use should be
deposited in national banks. That a
simple and safe system of distribution
Of funds can be devised I have no
doubt.
Sixth. I beneve that in periods of
national peace and prosperity the pub
lie revenue should be somewhat in ex-
surplus revenue should be applied to
the reduction Of the public debt"

CHAT FROM CHEROKEE.
Free Ferry to be Establfshed-Con
dition of the Crops.
,ondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.


Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
ETA JANE, October 4.-Last Satur-
day, appraisers met at the Howells
Ferry site and valued the property be-
longing to the ferry that the counties
can use, and we trust the difficulties
so long obstructing this work have
been fully overcome. The commission
ers will buy the present outfit for what
1t is worth. The ferry, beyond doubt.
will be a great advantage to the citi-
zens of both counties as we'll as to the
travelling public generally.
For nearly three years York county
has been ready and willing to estab-
lish a free ferry at Howell's; but un-
til recently the commissioners Of Cher
okee have not seen their way clear to
go into the arrangement.
Crops are poor in this section this
year. A lot Of forage has been saved
and the tolerably good crop Of wheat
harvested last summer will do much to
alleviate the condition of affairs next
year.
Cotton Is short. Not over half a
crop can be made under the most fav-
orable circumstances. J. L. 8.

Strained Relation Between Chilli
and Argentine Republic.

Buenos Ayres, Dec. II, via Calves
ton, Tex.-The relations between Chile
and the Argentine republic are strain
ed. Chile has not yet replied to the
demand relative to the construction
of strategic roads, in the litigated
territory. The Chilean answer to this
demand will be given tomorrow. The
Argentine government believes that
the Chilean answer will be satisfac-
tory, but part of the press doubts
this. In the meantime, both coun-
tries are taking protective measures,
although Argentina has not yet mob
ilized the militia.
In case Chile's replay is not favor
able Argentina will Withdraw her min
lister from Santiago de Chile, and the
antecedents and history of the misun-
derstanding will be forwarded to
Great Britain for arbitration.
Chile is busily engaged in buying
warsEips, aiming to surpass the pow
er Of Argentina's feet.
Commercial circles here hope that
the influence of the pope will prevent
a conflict of arms between the coun-
tries. Calm reigns here. There have
been no warlike manifestations, but
all parties are united in support Of the
government. The Argentina and for
eign newspapers published here unani-
mously counsel the Argentina govern
ment to maintain it's present energetic
attitude.
A decree ordering the mobilization
Of the reserves of 1873 and 1879 on Jan.
l, has been issued. These reserves
number $4,000 men. The chamber in
secret session has voted the credits
necessary for the mobilization of the
militia
