Mescal Making.

The Sahuaripa district of Sonora is
 noted far and wide for the excellence
 and quality of the mescal there pro-
 duced, and the manufacture of the
 beverage is quite an industry among
 it's people, every stream through the
 mountains being the site of one or
 more "vinaterias,r as the distileries
 are called: and in the distilling season,
 which begins in October and lasts
 about five months, tbere are to be en-
 countered everywhere in the noun
 tains of the district small parties of
 men with burros gathering the bulb-
 ous stocks of the mountain maguey
 plant, known as 'maguey chiquito,"
 in contradistinction of the ''maguey
 grande," which grows so profusely in
 the vicinity of the City of Mexico.
 and from which ''pulQue" and 'Te-
 Quila are made. There is third va
 rietv of the maguey called ''lechugia,"
 from which there is distilled a villain ous variety of mescal, drink or two
 of which would make a man steal and
 hide his o sn socks and handkerchiefs.
 The quality of the mescal made from the "maguey chiquito" is far superior to that made from ''lechuguia Yet there is something in the "maguey chiQuito" growing wild in the noun
 tains Of the Sahuaripa district, which makes the product therefrom superior to that grown elsewhere. It is prob ably peculiar combination of the elements ofthe constituent elements of the soil and water of the region, the formations being mostly of lime stone, the roots of the plants feeding thereon, and the waters of the streams partaking of the chemical nature of the rocks over which they flow, i'm parting thereto an elusive something which in the still adds quality to the mescal made here. that is found nowhere else.

COMMON PLEAS.

There Is but little reliance to be plac-
ed upon the most careful calculations
as to how long term Of court Will
continue in session.
1t appeared Tuesday, at noon, that
there would be sine die adjournment
on Wednesday. Judge Gage thought
so; but the court was still in session
yesterday.
Only two important cases have been
argued. The first was that Of A. j.
Dunlap VS.. Thomas Dunlap, admins
traitor, pe.ltion to reopen an old judg-
ment on an allegation Of fraud. w.
w. Lewis, Esq, appeared for the petit
toner, and Major j. +. Hart for the
defendant. The second case was that
of Jackson VS.. Jackson, which has been
in court for several years. It is par
tition case. c. E. Spencer, Esq, rep
resents the plaintiff, and Messrs. W..
w. Lewis, w. B. McCaw and Major
James F. Hart, the defendants.
Argument had not been concluded
yesterday at noon, and the under
standing was that Judge Gage would
carry away the papers in both cases.
Several orders have been signed since
Monday; but none Of them are Of es-
peciaI general Importance.
1t was suggested on Thursday that
court take a recess until September T.,
and this idea was still under favora-
BILE considerable yesterday.

WHILE 1t is no doubt true, as repor

WHILE it is no doubt true, as report
ed by Commissioner Of Navigation
Chamberlain. that only twice in the
history of the country has last years
shipping construction been exceeded, it
should not be forgotten that about Sc
per cent. Of this new tonnage is for the
coasting trade The coasting trade Of
the United States Is held exclusively
for Americans and the freight service
is the cheapest and best in the world.
But America stands poor show in the
matter Of carrying even our own for
eign exports and imports. One almost
insuperable difficulty is the higher
scale of wages that must be paid under
the American flag; and another is the
more expensive ration bill that Ameri-
cans are required by law to furnish to
their sailors. 1t is not desirable to
change either Of the conditions by re-
ducing the advantages that American
sailors enjoy: nor is 1t necessary.
Give the American carrier of foreign
freights little assistance, and it will
not be a great while until he will be In
a position to give the world all the ad-
vantages that are now enjoyed from
our coasting trade. He will earn his
greater wages all right, and at the
same time give the shipper more SER
vice for his money. Exports and i'm
ports to and from the United States
last year amounted to 40.00O,00O tons Of
freight. OF this only 9 per cent. was
carried in American ships The coast
ing trade involved 16S,00O,OO0 tons Of
freight, and all of it was carried in
American ships. The coasting trade
can and will take care of itself, as is
indicated by the report above quoted;
but to get our shipping established In
the foreign carrying trade is next to
impossible without liberal and intelli-
gent help.

The Big Strike.

Because Of the large number Of men
concerned and the vast interests in
volved, the strike of the Amalgamated
association against the United States
Steel corporation, commands the inter-
est not only of the people of this coun-
try, but of the entire world.
This strike is the biggest thing Of the
kind on record in this country. There
is nothing like 1t in all history. The
number of men who took part in the
Homestead strike of a few years ago,
were mere handful to those now out,
and there is nothing in the way of pre-
cedent upon which we can base COM
parisons
The Sympathies of most people In
this country will naturally be with the
strikers on general principles. There is
feeling that the capital that has been
aggregated by the steel corporation is
too great for safety, and there should
be a labor organization of strength
sufficient to offset it's power. But this

SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1901.

AN ordinance has been adopted by
the town council Of Yorkville, s. c.,
making it a misdemeanor for any per-
son to be seen staggering on the streets
Of that town. If legislation of this
character becomes generally popular In
South Carolina the governor of that
state will have to hold his little meet
ings with the governor Of North Caro-
lima in the latter's territory.-Law
Notes.
If Law Notes" had any regard for
its reputation for accuracy, it would
not make such statements as the above
without investigation. The town Of
Yorkville has no such ordinance as re-
ferred to. The only thing to be found
on the subject in the ordinance books
is the following:
From and after the passage Of this
ordinance, 1t snail be unlawful for any
person. or persons to be and appear
upon the streets Of Yorkville in a
drunken conultion."
Most towns and cities have ordinan-
ces of the same effect, and such as
have not are hardly in proper posi-
tion to preserve public decency.

idea only plays around the margin of
the real issues involved.

idea only plays around the margin of
the real issues involved.
AS THE ENQUIRER understands this
matter, the cause Of the strike is not
so much an increase of pay or the es-
tablishment Of shorter hours, as that
none but union men shall be permit
ted to work in the great steel mills Of
the country. The principle also ex-
tends beyond the steel mills to every
department of industry, and at the
bottom of it all is the idea that labor
instead of capital, should control the
industries Of the country. This, Of
course, is not the immediate object Of
the present battle; but the tendency is
undoubtedly in that direction, and
there Is ahead long, stumpy road for
all concerned.
While it is not difficult to understand
the ideal to which the rank and file Of
labor is working, still it is not always
safe to place too much reliance on the
integrity and ability Of the labor lead
ers. Sometimes they are men Of the
highest and most unselflsh Of purposes;
but too often they are just as :rntten
and as unscrupulous as they represent
their employers to be, and their object
in raising disturbances is not unfre-
quently the advancement Of their own
personal interests instead of the inter-
ests of those more honest, but less in
telligent, workers who look to them
for guidance.
Again, it should be remembered that
while all strikes are generally suppos-
ed to be fomented by discontented la
Dor organizations, this is not exactly
the truth. Sometimes it happens that
the best interests Of big manufacture
ing enterprise calls for shut down. 1t
may be because Of temporary financial
embarrassment, because of short prof.
it's or because Of other circumstances.
Conditions may be such as to make In
expedient an honest shut down, and
under such circumstances, the manage
ment uses the means to manipulate the
ldDOr unions So DIS W 1NClIS q SIiihS,
shifting the blame for suspension from
their own shoulders to the shoulders of
the laborers.
AS to what may have been the i'm
mediate cause Of the present great
strike there is. Of course, no telling.
The steel corporation may be respon-
sible for it, and the responsibility may
be with the labor leaders. If the steel
corporation is responsible, the object Is
the depression Of securities with a view
to the squeezing out of the smaller
stockholders; or 1t may be for the pur-
pose Of establishing a higher scale of
prices for steel products. If the labor
leaders are responsible, the object may
be selfish individual advancement, or 1t
may be a patriotic purpose to reach
forward after higher ideals. But who
ever is responsible, and whatever may
be the object, the whole country is 60
ing to suffer from the disturbance, and
in the end it is doubtful as to whether
anybody will be able to point to- any
real profit.

The Commercial club picnic was
quite an affair yesterday. They drank
soup and other things in abundance,
ate fried chicken and hard boiled eggs,
munched on corn bread and baker, s
bread, shot a thousand rounds of clay
pigeons and the blue armament, and
then came home and said they had a
big time. The hot sun done their eyes
up in good order. w. J. Roddey took
the honors for the best shot over II
others of the gun club. He broke 35
out Of 81 pigeons, but the trap was
wide open and close enough to have
done the birds up with popguns. One
of the wags in town said that popu-
lar preacher who stuck to the crowd
to the end, had taken an armful Of
hymn books, but 1t is not recorded that
he had any use for them.

Of Oats-POlitics.
Correspondence Of the Yorkvile ENQUIRER.
HooDTowN, July 1S.-After an un-
usually hard struggle with General
Green" most Of the farmers are about
to come out victorious. A little work
still remains to be done. Cotton, while
very small for the season, seems to be
growing we'll now, and forming quite
we'll.
Upland corn is very good, where it
has had proper cultivation. A great
deal Of it was not worked out until
too late to make much of yield. But
little bottom lands have been cultiva-
ted. Even after two or more replant-
ings, there was still no stand Of corn.
Low bottoms were so continually over
flowed as to drown that out also. :.
There were some fine oats harvested
in this section. Mr.. J. E. Latham had
the finest yield of oats I have any in
formation about. From a field Of 10
acres, he gathered 700 dozen Of extra
fine oats. The land was good, and also
fertilized quite heavily. Several old
people made the remark that 1t was
the finest field of oats they had ever
seen.
Wheat is generally turning out rath-
er light here. Where properly put in,
on red clay lands, it Is giving better
yield. Twenty to one Is about the
best yield I have heard Of.
The cemetery at Shady Grove
church, was recently neatly enclosed
with wire netting.
A protracted meeting will began at
Shady Grove the first Sabbath in Au-
gust. Services begin in the afternoon
at o'clock.
Mr.. A. E. Feemster put up some
partly boiled cane juice last year for
vinegar. AS 1t did not make good
vinegar, he poured it out to his two
shoats a few days ago. They were
soon in a drunken stupor, which
they could not be aroused from, but
very little, until the next morning,
when one was still rather boozy. He
concludes that what he considered
valueless stuff must have been pretty
strong wine.
Several of our citizens went on the

yet. VocE.
