visits to the town Of soliciting agents
of North Carolina liquor houses, as
we'll as the knowledge that consid-
erable part Of the whisky shipped here
is sold by blind tigers, has caused a
number of citizens to express the be-
lief that it would be as we'll for Fort
Mill to have a dispensary. These citt-
zens contend that large amount OF
money is annually sent to North Caro-
lima and other states for whisky and
that not a cent Of revenue is derived
therefrom by the town. The dispen-
sary, it is also contended, would draw a
great deal of trade to Fort Mill which
now goes elsewhere, that there would
be very little more whisky sold, and
that the treasury Of the town woul
be greatly benefited, which would
mean better streets and public
school of more value. These are the
chief arguments Of those who believe a
dispensary ought to be established IN
Fort Mill But Of course there Is an
other horn to the dilemma. There Is
little doubt that at least double the
amount of whiskey would be sold from
dispensary than is shipped to Fort
Mill, and the difficulty Of obtaining 1t,
slight as 1t is, would be entirely re-
moved.
kDispensary For Rock Hill.
The movement looking to the estab-
lishment of q dispensary in Rock Hill
seems to be pretty we'll organized. The
following, purporting to be.a dispatch
from Rutherfordton, N. c., was pub
lished in the Spartanburg Herald Of
Thursday morning. AS to whether the
alleged facts are as stated we have no
information; but the evident object Of
the publication is to show that ROCK
Hill needs dispensary: "The amount
of whisky shipped into the town Of
Rock Hill, S. c., from North Carolina,
by express, from December 22 to the
end Of the month, amounted to 32l3
gallons-52 2-gallon packages, 239 l.
gallon packages and So half gallon
packages. The charges on this amount
Of whiskey amounted to about $lO4.65,
and the cost, at an average price Of
$3.50 per gallon, 1903. This amount was
independent of the liquor in case ship
ped by freight, the quantity perhaps
being as great as that received by ex-
press, and it is also independent of the
large amounts smuggled in by wagons
for the blind tiger. One thousand and
five hundred dollars Is not an exagger-
Ated estimate Of the cost of whiskies
taken into that town by train and 9TH
erwise during the eight days ending
December~st. Indeed, It has been esti-
mated that the average amount of
whisky taken into that city is fully
$50 gallons per week or about $500 gal
Ions per year. This whisky is consign-
ed to individuals, but much of 1t Is for
blind tigers. The shipments are entire
ly from this state, and the dealers IN
this state receive the revenue, which
must amount to fully $4,000, furnish
ing a profit Of $4,000 annually. There Is
no dispensary or barrooms in the town
of Rock Hill, S. c."

THE MAIL SERVICE.

THE ENQUIRER Is in receipt Of occa-
sional complaints from postal patrons
along star routes Of failure to receive
their mail properly, and we are fire.
ouently asked as to the steps that
should be taken to remedy such omis-
sions.
The most frequent complaint is about
the failure of the riders to deposit mail
in boxes. Sometimes there are other
troubles but this one item gives the
average patron Of the postal service
more concern than any other one thing,
THE ENQUIRER is very much inter-
ested in these complaints, especially IN
so far as they come from it's patrons.
This office makes it a rule to do any
and everything 1t can to see that Its
patrons get the best Of everything, and
all that they are entitled to, so far as
lies in It's power. Even If a complaint
be Of no direct concern Of ours, we try
to see that the right thing Is done.
But it Is not in the power Of THE
ENQUIRER to do any more along this
line than any individual citizen can do
During a long experience with the pos
tai service we have learned that this
department of the government Is prob
ably one of the most efficient on earth.
There are many people who have an
idea that it Is entirely political, or
more properly speaking, entirely gov
erned by a pull" While 1t Is true
that there is more or less politics in
some branches Of the department, and
many positions are obtained by polit-
ical influence, it Is also true that
there Is less of this kind Of thing in the
postal service than in any other SER
vice under the government.
There are in the general offices at
Washington, and in the various sub
been at the business half lifetime;
men who have the capacity and energy
to run successfully the largest private
enterprises in the country; men who
are as proud Of the efficiency and per-
fection of their work as if the depart
ment belonged to them as individuals.
But very few Of these men assume
that they are Indispensable to the SER
vice, and that the public is an unbear-
able nuisance. Most of them are as
anxious to please and satisfy the hum
blest patron of the department, the ex-
tent of whose mail may be one printed
circular once a year, as they are to
please and satisfy gigantic corpora
ton that spends thousands Of dollars a
year on postage stamps.
Any letter relating to the most triv-
ial matter connected with the posta
service, addressed to any Of the heads
of departments in Washington, or tc
any division superintendent of the rail-
road postal service, or 10 chief clerk
receives as prompt attention as an or
der to a dry goods house, accompanied
by the cash. Colonel L. NJ. Terrell, SUI
perintendent of the Fourth division
railway postal service, with headquar'
ters at Atlanta, for instance, would
upon complaint, send Chief ClerE
Blodgett here to investigate the diSap'
pearance of a patent medicine circular
between Yorkville and Tirzah, anC
Chief Blodgett would give the matter
as careful and earnest attention as i
the missing article were a registered
letter. alleged to contain hundreds o.
dollars.
And so in everything connected will

QUAKER OATS.

WE have just received a shipment
w Of the celebrated QUAKER
OATS. Now, we know that there are
oats and oats and oats, but there is
but one BEST, and that Is the QUA
KER brand. At least it has that repu-
tation all over the world, and the COM
pany that manufacture QUAKER
OATS get more for them per package
than any other manufacturers. And
it only looks reasonable that If they
sell more and cost more, the QUAKER
brand must be the BEST. Our oats

THREAT TO THE GOULDS
CASSATT MAKES AN OFFER, STAT
ING PENALTY FOR REFUSAL.
Would Buy wabash and Lake Erie 81
Western-Will Cut Western Union
from His system, Otherwise.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.-The Inquirer
tomorrow will say: "A. ]. Cassatt, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, has demanded of George Gould the
surrender of the Wabash Railway system
and the Wheeling & Lake Erie at a price
which will net profit to the Goulds. under
threat of cutting off the whole of the
Western Union telegraph lines from the
entire Pennsylvania Railroad system, as
we'll as from the Vanderbilt lines, which
have agreed to the deal.
This is a threat that means a war
greater than any that has ever taken
place in this country and is comparable
only with that of the Beech Creek and
South Penn in 1885, which resulted in the
Abandonment of these lines, which were
swallowed up by the Vanderbilts and the
Pennsylvania.
''The penalty means that the Western
Union will suffer the greatest blow in it's
history and will lose many of it's profitable
lines, which will be turned over to its great
rival, the Postal Telegraph Company.
This ultimatum means more than any
other railway deal in the history of this
country 1t is believed that the Goulds will
accede to the demand and that the Pennsyl
vania will not only add nearly 5000 con-
comitant miles to its trackage, but will also
get rid of a rival for the Carnegie Steel
business. which is the largest factor in the
whole matter. resulting from contract
made by Mr.. Carnegie with the Wheeling
& Lake Erie, before the United States Steel
Corporation was formed, and to carry out
which the Goulds were trying to build a
line into Pittsburg"

MONUMENT TO M'KINLEY
PLANS UNDER WAY FOR A GREAT
NATIONAL MEMORIAL.
Comm issiOn to He Organized at Cieve-
land, with All states Represented
Mrs. Mch .4-Ie > Is Improving.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 23.-Initial steps
were taken here to-day towards the erec-
tion at Canton, through popular subscrip-
tion of what ii is hoped will be a fitting and
magnificent monument to the memory of
the late President Mckinley.
At a conference attended by Senator
Hanna. Judge William r. Day of Canton.
and Col. Myron T. Herrick, this afternoon,
1t was decided to at once organize a COM
mission that will be national in its scope to
take charge of the work. II is proposed TO
have as members of this body representa-
tive citizens from all the States of the
Union. The organization will be chartered
under the laws of Ohio, and probably will
be known the Mckinley Memorial As
sociation.' 1t is proposed to locate the
headquarters of the commission in this city
and it is proposed to have the organization
perfected within a week or ten DAYS and
fully prepared To take up the work Those
interested in the matter express the belief
that Congress will, at its coming session
make a liberal appropriation toward the
erection of the monument, and this to-
gether with the very large sum that il is
believed will be subscribed by the people of
the country will be sufficient to build n
splendid memorial in honor of the martyred
President.

The trial began at 10 o'clock. but long
before that hour the streets in the vicinity

there were but $50 seats available. The
various entrances TO the great building,
with the exception of that Franklin

men were everywhere, and rigid discipline
was the order Of the day. Squads of blue
coated men were stationed on every land

OF entrance to keep back the crowds, while
in station not far away reserves were
ready to reinforce the detail on duty should

ACCURACY OF BATTLE CHART
THE WITNESS CALLS 1T VERY Sc
VERELY IN QUESTION.
Sharp Sparring by COunsel-COntrO-
versy Over Sampson-PrincipaI
Testimony in Detail.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S.-The part
played by the battleshp Texas in the naval
battle off Santiago on July 8. 1885, in which
the Spanish fleet under Admiral Cervera
was sunk. was the basis of the greater part
of to-day's proceedings in the Schley naval
court of inquiry. OF the four witnesses ex-
amined during the day three had been Off
GERS on board the Texas during the battle
and two of them were now witnesses. These
were Commander Lewis c. Heilner, who
was navigator on the Texas. and Com
mander Alex. b. Gates, who was the chief
engineer on that battleship. Commander
Harber, executive officer. and the chief sur
viving officer Of the ship since the death
of Captain Philip. was recalled. The fourth
witness was Commander Seaton Schroeder
executive officer on the Massachusetts, and
now Governor of the Island of Guam.
The testimony several times during the
day somewhat exciting, and ii was
especially so when Commander Heilner de-
scribed the battle and the part the Texas
had taken in ii. He said that when the
Brooklyn made its loop at the beginning of
the battle il had passed across the bow of
the Texas at a distance not to exceed 100 to
$50 yards, and that at the command of Cap
tain Philip the Texas had been brought to
a dead stop. Engineer Bates testified that
the starboard engines had been stopped and
said he thought this also had happened TO
the port engines. Commander Heilner ex-
pressed the opinion that three miles had
been lost by this maneuver and the fact
that part of the machinery was deranged.
He said he considered that the Texas was
in greater danger when the Brooklyn
crossed her bow than at any other time
during the battle.
On cross-examination Commander He'll
ner admitted having taken part in the
preparation of the official Navy Depart
ment chart showing the positions at diff
ferent times of the ships which partici-
pated i'm the battle. He said according to
this chart the two ships never were nearer
than 600 yards Of each other. But he con-
tended the chart was inaccurate, and he
said he had only consented to il as COM
promise. Commander Bates admitted that
the official steam log of the Texas con-
tanned no record of the signal to reverse
the engines. Commander Schroeder testi-
fled concerning the coal supply of the Mas
sachusetts, which, he said, would have been
sufficient for a blockade of from sixteen to
twenty days.
The day closed with another animated
controversy between counsel as to the pol
icy of bringing Admiral SIMPSONS name
into the trial.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The great
reciprocity speech which President Mcl<in-
ley delivered in Buffalo the day before he
was shot was prepared in his usual careful
and characteristic style. Some three weeks
before the speech was 10 be delivered he
sitting with Secretary Cortelyou in the
office at the Canton home. The President
was having one of his cOntemplative
smokes. 1t was approaching twilight. For
ten minutes the private secretary was busy
asserting papers, and the President leisure
ly puffed rings of smoke at the ceiling.
Without giving any indication of what was
going on in his mind Mr.. Mckinley said:
'Expositions are the timekeepers of prog
ress." The secretary jotted this down in
shorthand on a handy tab of paper. Some
minutes elapsed and the secretary had re-
sumed his work with his papers when the
President continued, "Amity is better than
animosity." This was also jotted down,
and again the President relapsed into his
thoughtful mood. Many long pulls were
taken at the cigar before the President said
anything more, but finally the silence was
broken with Reciprocity is better than re-
taliation." A half dozen quick marks and
this was also registered on the tab The
President continued his cigar, took a walk
remarked briskly, what have you for me
to-night?' He was told the nature of the
business for the evening, and with some
pleasant words of approval retired TO seek
Mrs. Mckinley.
When Mr.. Cortelyou went up stairs he
dictated the three sentences to one of the
typewriters. They were copied in three
lines on a small sheet of paper. In the
morning. when the Presidents work was
laid before him, three typewriter lines
were on the top. The President read them
carefully once or twice, and, turning TO his
secretary. remarked pleasantly: "Ah, we
have begun the Buffalo speech, l see.
These three sentences grew into the speech
which will stand as a monument al the
close of his career. 'Amity is better than
animosity." and reciprocity is better than
retaliation" were lost IN that exact form.
but their spirit was there. and "expositions

two weeks TO finish il. He used pad on

sions were TO his liking he put them into

times before it assumed the complete form
