confined to the Methodist church.
The news that Rev. G. H. Waddell
has been compelled to give up the su-
perintendency of Epworth orphanage
on account Of ill-health, will be receiv-
ed with regret and concern by the
many friends Of this good man In this
section. Rev. Mr.. Waddell Is widely
known as an earnest Christian worker,
and wherever he has been he has made
friends who maintain sympathetic
interest in his welfare. He Is good
business man, however, and 1t is safe
to say that 80 long as he Is able to get

THE Greenville News, which looks
upon the alleged exposition barroom
scheme merely as a plan by which
Senator Tillman seeks to buy the good
will Of the people Of Charleston, COM
ments as follows:
AS we have had occasion to explain
on several occasions, Tillman, in his
desire to offset the growing opposition
to his autocracy in the up-country, mas
found 1t necessary to bid Tor the
Charleston vote, a little factor which
he has heretofore spurned and tramp
led upon. Now If there Is any commu-
nifty on the face of the earth which
has been maligned, wronged and ripped
up the back, so to speak, more than
the Charleston people have been by
Tillman, we fail to find 1t on the map
And of all the stabs Charleston has re-
ceived none has drawn more blood
than that inflicted by the dispensary
machine. Hence Tillman's proposition
to suspend the operation Of the law
for six months on the Charleston ex-
position grounds in return for political
favors from the press and people. We
have had considerable doubt whether
the Charleston people, even for tenn
porary commercial advantage, would
sell their birthright for mess of pot
tage: and knowing the inherent alb
horrence of The News and Courier to
commercialism in all its phases, es-
pecially that phase known as CONNER
cial Democracy, we have been hoping
for some sign Of disapprobation on the
part Of the Charleston newspaper, to
the final clinching Of the exposition
barroom contract. Despite the fact,
however, that such signs are so con-
spicuous by their absence, we thlnK
sufficient publicity has been given to
the scheme to defeat 1t.

SENATOR McLaurin, it IS to be noted
again, is doing the really valuable
work for the exposition in Washing
ton. The big schemes that failed were
not in his hands, nor was he even ask
ed properly for cooperation In their
furtherance, but what has been ac-
complished in the way Of securing gov
ernment exhibits and concessions In
the matter Of imported displays, Is due
to his efforts, practically unaided.
That is something worth remember
ing.-Charleston Post.
Yes, all that is worth remembering,
without anything further. Among
other things. it shows that If we really
have a practical object in sending rep
resentatives to Washington, in Sena-
tor McLaurin we have made a good Sc
lection. But this is not all. At Green
Vile, Senator McLaurin made sug-
gestion as to what might be done to-
ward re-imburslng to the exposition
people a part of their expenses, If the
other members Of the delegation would
cooperate. AS yet we have heard no
echo to the suggestions; but watch and
wait. With or without the help
of Representatives" who rest their
sole claims to the allegiance of the
people on their superior "dimmocra-
cy," we venture that the senator will
not rest until he has secured from
congress at least all the expense that
may have been incurred in connection
with the government exhibit.

The Trouble at Colon.

The opposing forces in the revolution
now going on in Colombia, are making
it lively on the Ishtmus of Panama
especially in the immediate vicinity OF
Colon, and the United States is exer-
cising a watchful supervision Of the
situation to see that there is no dam
age to the property of American citi-
zens.
The Colombian revolution has been
going on for about two years. It is a
struggle for power between the Libe-
rails on one side and the Conservatives
on the other. For a number of years
previous to 1886 Colombia had a Libe-
raj constitution. In the year named
the constitution was overthrown by
President Nunez, who established him
self as dictator. Since then the Libe-
rails have been trying to restore the
constitution.
The Conservative, or Clerical party,
now has control of the government.
1t is not disposed to encourage a pub
lie school system or any other system
of education except under the super
vision of the Catholic clergy. It's poll
cy is to keep the masses in ignorance
and to keep all political power in the
hands Of a favored class. The Libe-
rails who are quite numerous, but scat
tered. are giving the government plen-
ty to do in keeping them quiet. In
fact, it appears as if the Liberals real
ly have the best of the situation.
Some two weeks ago the Liberals
took the town of Colon on the north
ern shore of the Isthmus Of Panama,
by surpris~. and they have held it
since. During last week a Colombian
gunboat appeared off Colon and gave
the usual 4S hours notice of intention
to lombard. The bombardment would
have, no doubt, followed in due time

VILE Robbery-Personal Mention.
Correspondence Of the Yorkvills Enquirer.
ETA JANE, November pa union
song, praise and thanksgiving service
was held at Salem church today by the
Christian Endeavor society and the
Sabbath school. A collection was TAX
en- for the Thornwell orphanage. which
was creditable for the number engag-
ed in the service. Others contributed
to various other charitable and relig-
ious objects. A move was set on foot
by which it Is hoped that the church
building will be remodeled and paint
ed, as we'll as something done to beau
tify the inside Of the church. The
fence around the graveyard will receive
attention too.
Thanksgiving Day is not generally
being observed by our neighbors.
Many are plowing or gathering scat
tered cotton, while others are bang
ing" away with their fuzees at every
frightened bird or rabbit in sight, while
the dogs are making everything lively
with their music.
Farmers are much more interested
in their wheat sowing than they usu-
ally are. They are making every ef!
fort to have the crop put in in good or
der by breaking the ground and ma
nuring it rightly. Hardly any Of them
will sow more than six or eight acres;
but the pains and trouble with that
will equal or exceed that usually put
upon Is acres heretofore.
The morning after the robbery at
Jonesville last week, two men crossed
at Howells ferry, going toward York
Vile, whom nobody knew. A young
man who was there at the time, said
he took one Of them to be preacher;
but he soon found out his mistake.
Farmers are disappointed in the turn
out of their cotton crops. Hardly any
of them come within a bale or bale
and -a-half Of their expectation, and
the prices don't seem to help them out
of the difficulty worth cent.
DR.. Lionel r. Black, Of Blacksburg,
who has been practicing medicine In
this section for only about five months,
will remove to Huntersville, N. c., this
week. He is quite young man and
has given abundant evidence of his
skill, and we regret very much to give
him up. Though we are aware that
the demand for his services are great
deal more pressing in other places
than in our community, for we live in
the healthiest section Of the world, we
think. Wherever he goes we assure
those who may need his professional
services, that in him they will find a
man who understands his business.
Rev. w. H. White will preach at Sa-
lem next Sabbath, at II a. m. At the
same time, one elder and two deacons
will be elected by the congregation.
Sam w. Foster and his mother, Mrs.
Sarah Foster, will move to Union,
where Sam expects to run a dairy and
keep a beefmarket.

YORKvILLE, 8. O.,
NOVEMBER 80, 1901,

MARYLAND Republicans are said to
have agreed upon a plan whereby they
are willing to keep Arthur P. German
out of the senate by electing 1sador
Raynor in his stead. In the recent
election, German won the legislature
over the Republicans by majority OF
ten. Of course there are many Demo-
Gratis in the legislature who owe Cor
man nothing; but there is no doubt of
the fact that had it not been for the
well-directed efforts of this remarka-
bly, shrewd politician, the Republicans
would have gotten the majority. Now
II is the purpose Of the Republicans to
down their principal enemy. and they
say that If they can get ten Demo-
Gratis to vote for Isador Raynor, who
is a Democrat, they will give that
gentleman their solid support. AS to
how this scheme Is going to work re-
mains to be seen; but 1t is hardly
probable that Mr.. Raynor will con-
sent to such an arrangement.

Next Monday is salesday for Decem-
ber. December salesday is usually the
occasion for the gathering Of a large
crowd of people in Yorkville on busi-
ness Of various kinds.
Fhose Dreadful Hills.
In answer to a question on Tuesday
afternoon, Mr.. N. A. Simril said that
the people out his way have not lost
any Of their enthusiasm for the i'm
provement Of those dreadful hills be-
tween Yorkville and Tirzah. The loca-
tion Of the chaingang out beyond the
Robinson place, has not resulted in any
noticeable disposition to leave the
whole matter to the county. People
are still notifying him Of their willing
ness to assist in this important work
and he hopes to receive many addition
al subscriptions yet.
Shot by a Burglar.
Fort Mill Times: Monday evening,
at 6 o'clock, Mr.. John Whitesides, q
farmer living miles east of Fort Mill,
was shot in the stomach by an un-
known Negro thief. Mr.. W. E. Cald-
we'll runs a store near Providence
church. While he was at supper Mon
day evening Negro broke into the
store. Mr.. Whitesides came up in
time to see the Negro rifling the cash
drawer, and ordered him to leave the
building. The Negro came out Of the
store and fired at Mr.. Whitesides with
a revolver, the ball taking effect in the
stomach. The Negro then fed. A
posse was quickly organized and start
ed in pursuit; but failed to catch the
Negro. Mr.. Whitesides is only slight
ly injured.
Much Mortgaged Cow.
"One milch cow, with horns," but
known by a dozen different names In
a dozen different mortgages, is now
conceded to be the rightful property

THE present low price Of sugar-prob-

THE present low price Of sugar-prob-
ably the lowest on records said to
be due to the operations Of a gigantic
German combination known as the
"Kartell." The Kartell consists Of an
iron-clad agreement between practi-
cally all German sugar producers and
refners, to maintain the price in Ger
many at certain fixed figure. This
arrangement has been in operation for
one year. Germany is now producing
one-third Of the worlds beet sugar
population Is exporting 1.250000 tons
annually. The exported sugar is sold
at just third the price that Is ask
ed for 1t at home. and a great deal less
than the cost Of production. This Is
made possible by means Of a tariff
wall against imports and bounty on
exports, together with the Kartell re-
bates to producers. Producers receive
back a certain portion Of the over
charge to consumers. The object Of
this arrangement Is to fix the price Of
sugar throughout the world at a fig
ure that will discourage production.
When outsiders have been run out Of
the business. the Germans calculate
that they will be able to raise present
prices to point that will fully re-
coup them for all losses that may have
been sustained in the meantime. The
sugar interests Of the world are giving
attention to the German game, and ev-
cry possible means will be taken to
break it up before it becomes fully sue
cesSful

had the United States government not

had the United States government not
interfered.
It seems that according to a treaty
made in 1S46, the United States Is un-
der obligation to guarantee free transit
across the Isthmus Of Panama, and
also to guarantee the sovereignty OF
Colombia over the territory. The
threat to lombard, Of course, menaced
the operation of railroad trains into
Colon, and on that account Lieutenant
Commander McCrea, Of the United
States gunboat Machias, notified the
commander of the Colombian gunboat
that the threatened bombardment
would not be permitted.
During Monday, there was some
pretty severe fighting between the
Conservative and Liberal forces, as
many as $50 being killed on each side.
The fighting was along the railroad
track. United States marines had
been landed from the Iowa to see that
the orders of the American govern
ment were properly respected, and 1t
is stated that whenever railroad
train came along, both sides ceased
firing until it had passed out Of dan
ger.
The Colombian government Is dis
posed to hold that the United States is
under obligation to assist it in putting
down the insurrection; but the con-
tention at Washington seems to be
that the provision Of the treaty which
makes it the duty Of the United States
to preserve Colombian sovereignty over
the isthmus, does not specify whether
that sovereignty is to be controlled by
Conservatives or Liberals, and, there
fore, there is no obligation on the part
Of this country to interfere.
The whole matter Of the trouble IN
Colombia and the part the United
States is taking, is exciting much in
terest in this country and also In Eu-
rope; but as to what the outcome is
going to be there is no telling. There
Is nothing much to do but await de-
velopments.
